Redirecting GPRS Requests

Hi Everyone,
I'm fairly new to developing on pocket PC's but I've been developing applications for many years. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to redirect another programs attempt to access certain files remotely?
What I'm looking at doing is creating a program that would allow me to specify what IP/domain I want to redirect, and where I want those requests to actually go. Doing what the hosts file does in a PC.
I've had a search online and on this forum and couldn't find anything related to what I'm after. If anyone has any ideas on how to do this, or any resources that might be useful/a good read then please post

Supposedly WM has a built in firewall. It might just be CE, but the SDK seems to suggest WM generally. Have a look on MSDN for port redirection and interception. I've written some posts on it way back on here... but on unrelated topics.
Apologies for brevity, have to run

Thanks for the tips I'll have a read in a bit and see what I can come up with.

From the sounds of it, you want to make a DNS proxy. To do this, you need to intercept all dns requests and process them accordingly.
--Edit--
Now that I think about it, if you hook the look up function, gethostbyname()

New to Android

Hello all so Im new to android I came over from BB I got sick of the worthless OS they keep updating. Im trying to get up to speed everything with android. I got root last night using the unevoked's new process. As Im reading different threads I keep hearing people refer to adb shell. What is this? I also have a PC and a MAC but I'm more of a Mac guy, is most the stuff you need to do better done on PC or can it be done on Mac's because they talk about opening a command line which of course is done in DOS. Can anyone shed light on this for me? Thanks in advance

adb is a part of the Google Android SDK. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html It's available for Mac, PC, or Linux. Really, it boils down to preference. I believe setup is easier for Linux and Macs, but it's still pretty easy for a PC.
You can use Terminal, or whatever. It just needs a command-line interface for you to type into.

Thank you for the link and the explanation. I think its been to long since Ive had a open source device im way behind the curve i guess. Is there a good thread or a site for someone like me to start at that will start at the beginning and explain what SDK is and everything else?

Firstly, for a general how to of what's going on with our device, adb, so on and so forth, this thread is pretty awesome:

For a more in depth explanation of development and the like hit up:
http://developer.android.com
For the vast majority of what you're going to be doing, you need to be pretty familiar with command line scripts and the like. Also, if you want to write applications, you'll need to know java. If you really aren't all that interested in developing and just want to know about adb, that first link is a pretty good crash course.

Clockwork Mod Help using a Mac?

Is it possible to do so yet? As of right now it looks like Odin is the only route to getting it to work. Any Mac users had any luck? I'm rather nervous not having my Clockwork back ups

I'm curious also. I read there is a bmunlock that can flash from shell, but no confirmation or walk through yet. I hope this thread gets the ball rolling for us, or we're gonna have to get real smart real quick.

Being a mac user myself, ive been meaning to write a one click script for mac users. right now though, i have too many projects swimming in my head, and i also work a full time job and a part time job. just not enough time to get done what i want
Easiest way would be just borrow a friends PC or use bootcamp right now to use odin. sorry guys, i will get to it asap though

I just borrowed my g/f's Laptop lol. I now have clockwork as frustrating as that 20 mins was being back on a pc

unfortunatly ive convinced my friends to change macs. Pcs are getting harder to find.

Looking forward to this too!

any word on this yet? i'm dying to get a backup going with CWM, but im on a mac and i literally have no friends... with a PC that is

Yeah, I would appreciate this too, as it's really hard to find access to a PC around here.
I tried searching Google and some forums about ways to install without a PC, but only found ways to install on Macs with HTC phones.

still no word on this? i haven't been able to track down a PC, and i'm feeling really scared and alone without a backup...
seriously though, anyone do CWM on a mac yet?

I've been searching still nothing...

It's funny. Android is an open Linux platform and yet most of the tools used to hack it are Windows-only. Am I the only one who finds it strange how people are using Microsoft software to hack Linux devices? and yes I understand most people use Windows, but I would have thought that after buying an Android device, with Google's platform being open-source and designed with a cross-platform philosophy, that I would be just fine with hacking the device with my Mac or any Linux computer.
Anyway, I know the problem.. Linux, Mac, Java devs.. where are you? We need a cross-platform solution!

Everybody should have a Windows machine at their disposal. Macs have started to catch on but it's still not as supported as I'd like to see. That being said I use a virtual machine to run Windows if I'm not near my desktop PC. VirtualBox is free even if the operating system isn't, though I'm sure some of you can get creative...

Bootcamp + Copy of windows- that was my end solution. Sorry guys...

How I got Android to work on my Windows phone (Silly but working solution)

Hi all,
XDA has been a helpful forum for me for years. I haven't posted much, but I did browse a lot to find many useful postings from others. So I figured it was time to add one of my own findings to the XDA forums. How I got Android working on my Windows phone!
I wrote a blog post about it in WordPress. I read the XDA forum rules and since I don't advertise something to sell and don't link to a site that requires a login, I hope its fine that I'll refer to my own blog post so I don't have to copy paste everything there.
So back on topic, what did I do. There is no bridge on Windows phone for Android apps anymore and I am not smart enough to hack anything. So I solved it with combining existing solutions.
Requirements:
Running Windows desktop computer
Summary of the solution:
Install an Android Emulator on your desktop (I used Andy EDIT: MEmu also works)
Install a streaming client on your Desktop (I used KinoConsole)
Install a streaming client on your Windows Phone (KinoConsole)
Stream Android from your desktop to your phone (happy gaming)
All the details on how I did it can be found in my blog post here.
If referring to your own work outside of XDA is against the rules (I could not find that it is) please let me know and I'll remove the link and post the full solution here.
Regards and happy gaming on Android,
Salvolin

@jwoegerbauer wondered if this would also work with MEmu player. So I tried that and yes that also works.
