I've managed to compile cryptophone for PocketPC 2003

I've build a version of crypto phone for PocketPC 2003. ( unsing the sources from www.cryptophone.de ),
with some workarrounds for license test.
I don't have two phone to test it yet. If anyone can test it please send feedback.
As i see it use data call as link layer so your provider must suport it.
PS: Who's testing it , please send feedback.

I've tested in my Qtek 2020, (XDA II, MDA II…).

Is it working? I was able to compile it too, but it died on exchanging keys.

Don't work. :-(

I have programmed 2 xda 1 with wm2003 and the crypto, it works perfectly. The only bug is the "file" bar vanishes after a call is placed or received, other than that its great. 8)

Can you post what you changed in the source file in order we could reply your compiled code?
The idea is simple, if we can have access to the original source code and can do the changes you documented, generating the same code as you, with the same hash value for the encrypted code, we can assure that your code have the same security of cryptophone.

dumb ?
what is cryptophone?

Hi,
i am very interested in this (or a similar) software for
the Wallaby or Himalaya platform.
Anyone here who has a working & easy too install binary?
(Or are there any real free & opensource applications like cryptophone?).
kind regards,
Ben

Has anyone managed to get cryptophone working on the XDA ??
... or find a similar program ??
Regards

There are several similar commercial projects. Just wait some time for their announcements.

Hi mamaich,
thnx for that prompt reply
I know about cryptophone.de, raseac.com.br & caspertech.com
Are there any others I have missed ??

2-3 russian companies are also working on similar projects. I don't know their sites.

cryptophone Somebody to compiled? for motorola smartphone mpx220 :?

one more company.
http://www.securegsm.com
and question - where is source download page on http://www.cryptophone.de ?
in general "cryptophone" application isn't difficult
- good vocoder
- some crypto
- good realtime data transfer - CSD for GSM network
- some audio components like AEC
could some one point me to good ARM implementation of vocoder with 2.4-4.8kbitps bitrate? ARM9(v5) PXAxxx ~100MIPS.
Free is preferable, but reasonable commertial offers are welcome too.

just a question,
isn`t it possible with the sourcecode of this software and the sdk for windows mobile 2003 smartphones to make a installer?
is very interesting, or?
is there any other software for ppc or smartphone avalable?

a free wm5 client for this should be awesome! coders go compile now!

is the encryption limited to "only" this version of application ?
- or is there some sort of standard ?

Hi, did you manage to get it to work?
I tried on my O2 xda... it hung on the key exchange part...

It concerns me that this program starts two processs, spcore.exe and ui2003.exe. I have not looked over the code, but can you tell me why it must use two. Furthermore once they are going there is no way to stop the spcore.exe. My guess is that if that process contains the thread that is waiting for tapi events, its stopping mechanism has not been implemented properly. If you want to make a thread that is waiting for the event for line state then when the user wants to stop the thread/process, the event interest needs to be reset. eg SetCommMask(hSerialHandle,0); ,but it must be done from the ui thread not the waiting thread because obviously the waiting thread cant do anything. Once it is set to 0 (as apposed to EV_RXCHAR for example) the waiting thread will finish waiting imeadiately.
I tried sending a message to destroy the window with no effect, I then tried using terminatethread to stop it but that did not work so it must be in an api call (such as waiting).
On my mini it starts up ok, and dose not interfear with the phone. I could not test the functionality because the only other phone I had with me was my xda and it dose not install corectly on that. No error messages on intalation but the icon in the program files is not shown properly and it fails when I try to start it.

What was imate or microsoft thinking...

... when they chose to hide the GPS application by default?
After a long time I figured out how to enable it through the registry.
But I am wondering WHY it was disabled and HOW inexperienced users would find hot to do this. (In the manual, it says "Goto Setting and click on the system tab"). Ofcourse it doesn't exist!!!!!

Microsoft ? Thinking ?
ROFLMAO ! Good one m8. :lol:

Can you please point me to the registy hack that enables this?
Thx

Oh har har. :x
Microsoft did not hide the app setting. It was an i-mate choice. Microsoft does not hide any of the settings on Windows mobile. It's a pure OEM choice.
And why did they hide it? Possibly so the clueless newbies don't stumble upon it and think 'gasp! It's got a GPS too!', spend money on maps, and then discover that it doesn't have GPS, and the complain to customer support about false advertising etc. etc.

Perhaps they did hide it so that real clever people can find and tell proudly ro pthers that they have found a great 'new' feature. A feel good marketing trick for early adaptors?

i agree with snorbaard,
cos M$ make a generic operating system, there is no reason a universal type device could actually be manufactured with GPS hardware, i would then imagine the oem would have the gps visable.

what does it do then?

What makes me laugh is that I watched MS' public presentation of WM2005, and that GPS data sharing was one of the main features they mentioned.. and at first no trace of that
Just enables redirecting data received on a COM port from a GPS receiver to another COM port that will allow multiple connections from different programs. So you can run TomTom, VisualGPS and GPS Tuner at the same time
Otherwise the COM port would only accept one simultaneous connection.

I believe the real reason it is there, and is hidden, is that it is not for end users to use in anyway, but for developers to be able to easily grab GPS info for use in their third party applications.

Actually, Kilrah is correct, its a new feature of wm5 that allows multiple programs to access the com port simultaneously. If you wanted to use different apps that used the gps simultaneously, like tom tom navigator or pocket streets with say a program like navizon, it wouldn't have been possible w/ wm2003, but with wm2005 it works. I've heard that it was disabled because its not complete. I've used it and it occasionally requires a reset to regain access to the com port my gps uses. It is not in any way related to the e911 GPS reciever build into the phone, and cannot be used with it.

Hi,
will i need to do this reg hack to get tomtom working?
or only if i wanna use mutiple gps systems?
cheers

GPS Route Registration?

Hello,
I wonder if there is a program, where I can get my route administration done with my Touch Diamond (or other gps-enabled ppc's).
A program where i can say 'START ROUTE' and it logs the current GPS-position, it counts the driven KM's, and when i say 'STOP ROUTE' it logs it to a file with date, km's and better with destination names (connect to google maps?)
I know some sort of things exist, but not 'simple' ..
I need it for the Taxes, i run my own company and have to write down every single km I drive. Pfff...
any ideas?

I think TRACKME might be what you are looking for(best of all: it's free!:

It's all available there.
Since I can log GPS coordinates on my own server, in fact I can get a plot from there very easy. It looks very promising.

there's one which doesn't require .NET 3.5.. called MyMotion 1.1.. i'm using it for my bicycle trips.. you can log your route while you drive and then use a mapmaker to match a google earth map with coordinates to it so you can see where you drove.
it's really really good.

[REQ] [APP] - Sport GPS software

hi all.
I am looking for an app. that allows me to track my activity through gps, like sportstracker on Nokia phones with s60.
I have tried a lot of apps, but with no luck!
it would be great if it was possible to transfer the route into google world.
can anyone help, please?

there are plenty ! a free one in these forums is call GPS cycle computer.
the one i use is rungps (not free)
just do a google search for PPC GPS or search in these forums

hi,
you can try these..
Turbo GPS http://www.turboirc.com/tgps/

Compe GPS Pocket Land http://www.compegps.com/
Pathaway http://www.pathaway.com/PWWinMobile.htm

RunGPS is a really cool app for this. A friend of mine uses it and is really happy with it.
http://www.rungps.net/
You can upload your log files and even compete with others that can follow a route you uploaded or you can download a route from somebody and copmpete against him.
Or you can just follow the same route everytime and see if you improve your performance.
Its great, try it!

thanks for all the answers/links! I will try them out
some of them looks pretty good!
once again, thanks!

Do I have to pay anything for using the gps or downloading the maps with google maps with run.gps?

Rungps license is 25,95 euro. It has very good support. New versions every month. No problem if you switch to another phone. Tracks downloads etc. are free. I've been using the program for quit a long time and it has really great possibilities

I´ve got Run.gps now too but had not enugh time yet to test it.
(Is this grammar right? )
Thx for the Answer.
And I don´t know how to install maps. Maybe I should read the manual at first.

Try...

I use GPS cycle computer for the same purpose you are looking for. I love it, it's a really great app. Most similar apps I've tested where unnecessary huge. But of course, that depends much on personal taste and needs.

Non GPS location WM6.1

Hi I'm developing an application for WM that will use location. I don't think I will have too much trouble with implementing GPS but does anyone know of any information to get the devices rough location without GPS using GSM towers or however google maps 'my location' works when GPS is turned off.
Also a quick question I have an idea for what I think is a simple (not related) application and I think such a useful idea that I'm surprised it hasn't already been made. My question is if I ask about how I may go about creating the application is there any chance of someone thinking its a good idea making it themselves and somehow copy writing it so I can't make it myself?
many thanks.

Just bumping in case anyone can help.

As far as I know GSM triangulation only works when your service provider allows it, which is a rarely the case. Google uses the internet via GPRS or WLAN to estimate a user's position. So you'd have to find out how to get the node information to display it on a map.
edit: try to use IP tracing

I think Google finds your location from your CellID. Using the devices that have both GPS and Google Maps installed, it builds up a CellID database which is used to locate phones when no GPS is available.
You can do something similar by a) getting the device CellID and b) using the OpenCellID service to "translate" the CellID to a location.
Look at this:
http://dalelane.co.uk/blog/?p=241
And this:
http://www.opencellid.org/api
Also check out these threads by joubertvasc, he's using CellID and the OpenCellID APIs in his programs, and if I remember correctly they're open source, so those should help you a lot.

Thanks guys you have given me loads of great information to be getting on with. Sorry about posting in the wrong place didn't notice the Q&A section. Thanks again.

I tried to reverse engineer the protocol used by Live for it's location server and I posted my results here. I haven't indulged any further since things have gotten busy around here but it's a good start.
Google Maps lookup service has already been reverse engineered by a guy on code project here.
I've also looked at Fire Eagle's implementation based on wireless hotspots and it uses skyhook.

Luis Espinosa's TrackMe also queries multiple cell id databases, you can even choose which ones you want to draw from (Google, OpenID, etc). His code isn't open as far as I know but he might be willing to answer some questions.

you guys are great thanks so much for the links I'll be sure to upload my program here first if its any good that is.

Is there any way to use Google's location services? The code project link is down :/
