Dear All,
I have developed my first PocketPC game (see attached). It is similar to Master Mind but using numbers. This is the way we play it in Iraq
I would like some help in making an installation that automatically create a shortcut in Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games. I am planning to publish the game as a freeware.
I am using VB .NET 2005 (.NET FX 2.0) so if I can include the re-distribution libraries that would make it easier for users, else I may need to point them at a link.
I used 2 different installtion builders but both only copy the CAB file to the Program Files but not make a shortcut for it. I have an *.inf file and haven't used the command line setup builder yet unless I have to.
Any easier way please?
ThanQ.
Hello,
I'm trying to localize my German and English PPC devices into Polish language.
I do this on 2003 and 2003 devices, it was easy.
But in WM 5.0 and 6.0 is somethink like file certification, and system don't want to run my MUI and DLL files placed in Windows folder.
Plase help me, some one have a sample source code in C++ or C# how to change system registry or modiffy WM to run my MUI (language resources) and DLL (keyboard) files.
or how corectly cert this files without pay Geotrust or other company.
Thanks and greatings,
Kamil
use msigner to sign them..
Thank You
Where can i found source code for this program msigner, and other version called: unsigner or somethink like this ?
And i will ask for somethink different. Because i think you can know. Where can i find source example explain how i can install dll and other files into rom (i mean, when i do hard reset that files will be in device.)
Thks,
Kamil
if u want to place the dlls or other files in to ROM while cooking..its easy just place them in the dump..or u can use resco explorer to copy them while u are using the rom...if u place them while cooking it will be available when u hardreset..but if u put it through resco or some other s/w..they wnt be there
here's where u can get it

I'm starting this because (so far) I have been unable to locate enough information to allow me to try modding dll's that exist (either compiled or decompiled modules) in WM6.
I've known some users have tweaked dll's (such as the phcanoverbmp.dll as an already built or the keybddr.dll as a decompiled) and would like to gain this knowledge and have a better understanding of the steps needed to get "into" the files.
I'd like to learn more about customizing them to either add embedded images, change image paths, touch screen mapping, etc.
I've tried reverse compilers and such, but so far have been unsuccessful in my attempts.
I'm running Visual Studio 2k8 Team Suite with the Mobile 6 Pro SDK on XP SP2.
use RESHACK (freeware) to open up any exe or dll file
I've looked far and wide for a plugin that allows me to control Coreplayer like you can with WMP in the titanium homescreen. Well, I've given up and decided to make one by myself. What do you use to make plugins like this? What language?
I would also like to know about this
Im not a master on the rules, but shouldnt this be in Q&A?
Anyway, you want:
Plugin Installer
Tool to create the plg files for the above
(I havent tried them myself, but i understand its the easiest way)
That will modify the "cpr file" (an xml file that the chome reads for the layout) for you. Then, you just need to modify the relevant registry entries, like HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\YOURPLUGIN\Page 1\TEXT1 = "Now playing: ..."
Thus, you can use any language for this: Mortscript, c#, basic4ppc, etc.
Yes - in Q&A -you will also find a sticky thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=504324 - which will help you - especially the link to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3601164&postcount=2 is a good place to start (you must know what the GUID for custom plugins is)
And therefore, that you don't need long scripts - I would take MortScript - only if you need Processes, I would take C++ or so
I will download your Plugin - looking forward to

Hi,
I'm currently working on a few tools, and want to know what features would be liked by cooks/users or anyone really.
The first tool is an exe generator for hot fixes. Simply put, you plug some files into it, and it generates an exe that can be run on the target device which will do all the hot fixes.
The advantages it gives:
No more cabs!
Can use a custom icon for the exe if desired
Things like messing around with setup.dll files doesn't need to happen, and an application can be launched after install if wanted
Files can be deleted
File properties can be changed
Can use XMLs
Can edit registry
Can install files
Since it's written in native C++, it should run without a hitch on WM5+ devices, whether or not they have .Net whatever...
The second tool is an AutoRun/UC/whatever like system that simply searches through a folder, finds all cabs/xmls/provxmls and then installs them. This means there's no reliance on autorun for parsing config files, or any other requirements. Again, it's written in native C++ so is better
Any suggestions/ideas would be welcome!
Oh, and once I've got slightly further, both these will be released as open source. Probably.

Wow, this sounds very very promising. Can't wait!

yeah some user friendly and easy to understand specialy editing the rom or making add/remove programs EASILY is the best specialy to noobs like me when cooking ROMS all in one tool with advance AI for error checking
Sounds very attractive. go on my friend.....
Sounds good mate
I'm looking for a tool to easily make a setup.dll. Like setup.dll maker/generator/wizard.
Seems the only tools I can ever found is from e-pocketsetup, but that company was sold to another company and the product was never available since then.
I know cooks hate a cabs with a setup.dll. But seems without setup.dll a cab installer can not execute some little complicated actions. And it is impossible to make a setup.dll without grasp a computer language like c++.
Edit: Found another one: setupdllcreator , but it's not strong enough and not freeware.
Edit: If these can be realized, a setup.dll maker is much less needed:
No more cabs!
Can use a custom icon for the exe if desired
Things like messing around with setup.dll files doesn't need to happen, and an application can be launched after install if wanted
Files can be deleted
File properties can be changed
Can use XMLs
Can edit registry

But we need above mentioned fubctionalities to be DYNAMIC, like:
Can detect availability of certain reg entries or installed apps, base on the result to decide which variants of install files to be installed, or whether some supporting apps like netcf or mortscript to be installed. Or can detect device id, resolutions, drivers to decide what to do.
Otherwise it still can not completely replace setup.dll.
But if dynamic actions can be executed, wow that's a dream of developers & hackers and even common users can benefit from that, a real revolution !
woww can wait for realese

So I'm posting my requests again, the idea is this: It will be much helpful if I can know what is happening/changed in the registry after I did anything to my WM devices. So maybe you can develop a tool to monitor & log the real-time changes of registry. Or at least we can have a registry-comparision tool on ppc.
Another thing is it seems we don't have a file structure viewer on ppc, not the stuff like total commander etc., want to export the file structure to a file like .txt or .jpg.
Update: Now my idea is clearer for this, what I suggest would be a System Snopshot program to realize this:
Can make a system snapshot to record the registry content, file structure, ram usage etc.
The snapshot can be initialized in the similiar way of CapSure screen capture program, i.e., a hardwre button, a fixed time, a screen tap, a program launch, etc., defined by user.
Can choose a full system snapshot or only on selected part of registr, file system etc.
Can generate a file containing the recorded system condition.
Can compare any two system snapshot result and generate a comparision chart/change log.
So I've posted my requests as per your request, whether or not you'll do it is not my business lol.
Update: Found SK Tracker, cost EUR9.95, so forget this one. Why I did not know it in the past?!
