Hello, happy WP7 users! Just as a user myself I was wondering if there was any possible way to purchase apps off the Android or apple marketplace. WP7 seems to be limited on the number of apostle available. Is this possible?
OK I'll try to explain this.
Windows Phone 7 is a operating system, iOS (iphone os) is a operating system, and android is a operating system. With windows you can't install OSX applications. Well Windows phone 7 is the same. You can't run android or iOS applications.
Sorry,
JBYoung
Morning everyone!
I recently bought a Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, and noticed that under information, it states the NAV system runs Microsoft Windows Automotive.
I did some recon, and found that this is a stipped down version of Windows CE? I've tried searching to see if anyone has done any hacking, I've seen a few basic mods/hacks, but nothing crazy like the stuff xda-devs push out...
Just wondering if there's been any work done on this? Any cool hacks?
So, you want to "hack" Windows (Embedded) Automotive (7), which is part of Microsoft's Windows Embedded family? What do you mean with "hack"? Please specify.
There is not, and there will probably never be a "hacker" or "modder" scene around devices running Windows Automotive, as all the SDKs are closed to the public and only acessible to manufacturers who signed a deal with Microsoft. There is no way of really adding functionality to these systems for a hobbyist, and even if there was of course it would validate any and all warrantys on the device.

I was just wondering if any work had maybe been done. I'm not familiar with the OS as you can tell. But from my previous experience in the Windows Mobile land and some hacking I've seen in the past on devices that ran CE I was just wondering if anything had been done...
I know there's been a few minor hacks and mods (re: interface changes, animations, pictures, voice prompts, map side-loading, etc...). But that's all I've read so far...

Windows Automotive is based on Windows Mobile, not on Windows CE. Perhaps 'unlockers' developped for Windows CE might do it, who knows?

I read that it runs a Windows CE kernel, also read that it uses a lot of stuff that Windows Mobile uses... Main interest would be to see if it's possible to load up a complete Windows GUI (like what people did for the HTC Shift)...
I have a cts-v as well and I'm hoping to play with the latest nav software update disc (2012) when I receive it tomorrow. I know some have converted it to usb so it doesn't take 2-3 hours to update your system. I'm also wanting to see if I can do some mods/hacks/tweaks to it just to play around. Can you point me in the right direction on the mods/tweaks you've read about? Of course I'd just like to start out with images/sounds/slash screen stuff first.

Wondering if anyone ever did anything with these... I just bought one myself in my '09 CTS-4 . You can remove the hard drive and image it to your local hard drive and I have seen where people have been able to access the files within. Since Windows Mobile Auto is related to Windows mobile you should be able to use some of the same tools you would use with Windows Mobile. My understanding is that it is not a stripped down but a supped up version to support additional hardware and functionality. .Net code is byte code that is run by the runtime in standard windows and is easy to decode and reconstruct the source code. I am guessing windows Mobile is similar. You should be able to reconstruct enough that you can use the standard .DLL from windows mobile auto in a regular windows mobile development environment then just copy the finished file over... In theory anyhow... I have seen information that it may require signing but I am not sure that signing was necessary with Windows Mobile 5. I will be tearing apart my new NAV system before I install it to see what I can access in it.
Did you find anything? I'm looking to "hack" my 2011 Fusion Sport w/ Nav. Runs on similar platform based on my research.

Hello everyone,
I have a new car PC - Roadnav s100, OS: Windows CE 6.0.
The car PC has the following ports:
USB for data and internet
SD card for navigation system
SD for data
AUX.
I want to install my own application on the car PC. For example install a new GPS.
But it seems that the system is "locked". There is an option to unlock the system?
By the way, Windows CE and Windows Mobile are the same technology?
Thanks !

I've noticed you want to install/run WAZE. Simply forget this, because WAZE is written to be used with smartphones (based on iOS, Android, or Windows Phone). You can't run WAZE on your Windows CE device
But you always can install/run a navigation software developed for Windows CE. Most of those in between are more than outdated. Their development already some years ago stopped.
Navigation software today mostly get developed for Android.
AFAIK, it exist in the WEB a pirated copy of iGO Primo2 (for Windows CE). Simply google for it ...
With Windows 10 Mobile apparently being able to run Android apps, is there anyone who has tried (on an insider build) to run the Android wear app and see if it can connect to a watch? I would be surprised if it did, since the deep integration it has with Android, but it would be a good reason to buy one of those new Lumia 950's...
As far I know few android phones are working with IOS but no luck for Windows phone. I hope Android wear will work on Windows phone very soon.
Hello guys.
One of my friends lent me a Chinese Netbook that has Windows Embedded CE 6.
It has a 7 inch screen, and a 300mhz ARM cpu (model WM 8505).
This little netbook is awesome! but I have a problem:
The Audio doesn't work at all... (I also remember I heard the boot-sound the first time I used it, but i'm not sure...)
Can you help me? Is there a way to quickly restore the audio? (maybe I only need a .dll file...)
P.S. After I made some of my "optimizations" it works really fast
Anyway I want to reduce some lags... do you know any program that cleans the RAM or that improves the device? (a lot of app on my WinMo smartphone eliminated windows' transitions, clear-type function...)
Before starting this thread, I searched on xda a specific section for Windows Embedded CE, but it doesn't exist... As I see all these threads goes on the Windows Mobile section... in my opinions moderators should put them in a new section focused only on CE so the WinMo section will also be streamlined...
