Hi there,
Any suggestions as how to install wince 6.0/RC2 or WINCE 5.0 on a PNA/GPS Device that is already desktopfree and contains WINCE .net 4.2?
Is it possible? Is so, can someone guide or suggest further reading?
- Regards,
Bob.

Does anyone have any experience with this program?
If yes,
1) Is it possible to build a OS for a custom device?
2) Is there a way to extract files from a magician ROM?
3) Is it posible to import magician drivers in the platform builder?
4) Can platoform builder create a ROM file with WM2005 to be used with the magician?
Any help is highly appreciated

Yes. I've managed to boot Pentium 3 with WinCE 4.20 about 2 years ago. Have not tested this with WinCE 5.0 but it should work.

Mostly no. But several files can be imported.

Of cause it can.
But noone can use a trial PB to create WM5 ROM without BSPs. Only WinCE 5.0 ROMs can be created for a limited set of devices.
thank you very much
Hey, ive just installed the new PB and want to build a CE5 rom for a PC. Can you give me some tips on how you did it?
I also have a thin client box the Compaq T20, it has embedded NT4 atm and id love to put wince 5 on it too, if you have any helpfull hints id love to hear them.
Ive managed to build a rom, but im not sure how to make it work on a PC or the T20...
mamaich, if i wanted to build a rom for a HTC phone, how would I start?
Choose Xscale BSB, then maybe add some drivers, then how do I get it on the phone?
I don't want to have a fully functional OS, just to experiment. Are there any chances of destroying the bootloader or anything? If you have any experience or any tips please answer

You should start with Himalaya BSP. But you don;t have it of cause.
can anyone point me in the direction of some help or a guide to getting started with wm5 dev ?
just looking for a "hello world" level walk through at the moment.
thanks in advance.
WM5 Dev
Get hold of Visual Studio .NET 2005 and examine the example programs Goodluck!
do i need to install the dotnet framework on wm5 or is it built-in ?
cheers
You need Active Sync 4 during development. You may wish to run the sample program in your WM5 device OR using a WM5 emulator. If you chose to run it on your device, cradle your device and VS.NET 2005 will install .NET compact framework on your device before it attempts to run your sample program using your device
thanks for taking the time to answer. i would have thought that the dotnet framework would have been built-in with wm5.
no-one likes to have to install extra programs to get an app to work.
I am not sure with the "newer" WM5 devices out there. I have an XDA II with the first leaked WM5 ROM and it does not have the latest .NET CF...
If you have a WM5 device, verify the .NET CF version you have by running: \Windows\cgautil.exe
i have 1.0.4292.00 installed on my wizard.
how does this compare to dotnet v1.1 or v2 ?
cheers.
I guess it is not the latest version. VS.NET 2005 needs CF v2 in order for programs to run properly.
Hi there.
I'm planning on embarking on PPC development journey as well.
Yet to get hold of VS.NET.
I was just wondering, if anyone would know how the app in the link works:
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=338
Does it link to the registry, etc?
It obviously does not work on WM5, and I would appreciate if anyone could gimme a headstart on working one for WM5.
Thanks!

You can develop .net CF 1.0 applications in VS.NET 2005. Then you don't need to install the .net CF 2.0 on the device. There are some handy things that's missing in 1.0, but almost everything can be done... just not as easy as in 2.0

Hi,
I've searched but I haven't found any relevant topic to my question:
I have a PNA (Neverloss but I don't think it's important). It's based on Windows CE .NET CORE 4.2. My friend want me to start the "normal" GUI (to install 3rd party programs, etc..). Is it possible? Is it possible to make the device not to start the Navigation Program? As far as I know that windows mobile = windows CE + GUI. Are the GUI files completely left out?
plz help... thx!
