When I start my Dell lapi with win 8 pro its getting a blank screen but the mouse cursor is visable....help me....
Sent from my HTC Desire C using xda app-developers app
A) We are not your personal tech support group. We aren't even a tech support group. This a forum for developers and hackers, not off-duty call center and Geek Squad employees. Have you tried contacting Dell?
B) You have provided almost no information about your problem, so we have almost no ability to diagnose the problem. Did it run other OSes acceptably? Did you upgrade to Win8 or do a clean install? Do you still have another OS installed?
C) You have provided almost no info about your system, so offerins any solutions will be very difficult (even if we determine the problem). What video card and CPU does it have? Is it new, or used? Do you have any external monitors connected?

I saw a lot of programs developed for XDA II, and they are for XDA II only. So it must be a SDK documents somewhere, otherwise no-one can write codes specific for XDA II, Am i correct?
If so, could anyone tell me where can I get the XDA II's SDK?
Thanks in advance
SDK is the PocketPC2003 SDK available free from Microsoft.
It really needs embedded Visual C++ 4, also available free from Microsoft.

They'll also send you all the tools on DVD for a small handling fee, as they are huge downloads.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear.
I have the generic SDK from MS, what I need is the SDK for XDA II, it should come from XDA II's manufacture.
Thanks
well there are not xda2 stk
but there are a collection of stk's
one of them is ms's
another is the one which the cam program uses
another is the stk of the ati 2d chip
i think ati will give you their sdk if you reg at their site or something
dont think the cam's sdk is something they would let people get their hands on
a xda2 sdk would be like having a dell Latitude sdk
it dont work like that

Thanks, where is the website for ATI? could you post a link please?
BTW, what I need to do is to develop GSM related applications specific for XDA II, say, timed SMS sending. It is best if I can plug my apps into their build-in apps like SMS (it does not have timed SMS sending options)
Aha you're after the device SDK for the XDAII. You want to know what drivers are supplied and how to use them to control the specific hardware at the lowest level, e.g. ATI graphics, Radio hardware, Camera, Bluetooth, Buttons, comms, etc.
... unfortuantely HTC are an absolutely closed shop. Getting any information out of them is like getting blood out of a stone. A particularly hard and bloodless stone.
This site is really the closest thing we have, although as mentioned above you might have some luck with the specific hardware manufacturers such as ATI (although they are also notoriously unforthcoming). There's also sourceO2, who have similar level of knowledge about supporting low level development on the XDAII as a particularly stupid earthworm.
Usual rant follows... If only the device manufacturers would properly open up their products to developers, they'd see a wealth of applications developed that'd make their hardware a real "must have". They probably think it'd eat into their profits on the next device they produce, which is all they're interested in really.
Incidentally, you can both send SMSs, and use the notification subsystem to schedule an app to run at a particular time via the PPC2003 API. So it'd be fairly simple to knock up a client-side SMS timed sending application wihtout hacking RIL.
Hi, andyclap
Thanks a lot for your informative reply.
I am not actually developing very low level applications. What I planned to do is to develop some value added little programs that could be a plug-in or such a kind.
To make myself clear, I can use an example to explain what I might want to do:
The build-in SMS program does not have the feature the let you send a timed (scheduled) SMS. I am wishing to do is:
insert a menu item into its original context menu (tap-and-hold on SMS message body), you can choose to send at specific time
Anyone have an idea?
build in sms programs are not something which would make it a special xda program
all pocketpcs would be able to use that
that is unless you want to block your application somehow from being used on other pocketpc's then the xda then i suppose you need to access some reg indentifier or something
you want me to give your the link to ati ?
well if you are too lazy to type it then i suppose I must

Hmm this may be quite hard to do, as I the messaging system is quite unextensible. It's fine if you want to create a new format from scratch, but extending an existing form handler is, I think, impossible.
Some low level dirty tricks (subclassing windows etc) might work, but would be pretty tricky to do, and very hacky.
I just wish somebody would give the PocketPC team a Symbian SDK, Symbian really got it right when it comes to messaging.
Yes, i can write a new SMS program, but it will need me to deal with Contacts object. I mean, I have to write code for fetching data stored in the build-in contacts database. If I can just plug my function into its contextmenu, I will only need to implement a simple function program (setting date/time, save phone number and message text, create a notification, etc).
Using SetWindowLong can hook into the *****, but this program model is some kind of fragile, very easy to crush the system or the apps itslef, not really stable if not tested thoroughly
Hi, its me, after a long absence from XDA i have returned with a new tablet and a new phone (also, i know its a budget phone but ZTE Racer section please XDA, it IS basically a HTC Touch 2 with android 2.1, bliss! But I digress...)
What I want to do is port a very niche app to android specifically for the business for which I work. The company programs state of the art cash registers for clients using a programming utility called EPU (electronic cash register programming utility)
Still awake? If not wake the heck up!
Ok, the program is made in house by our programming department using visual basic.net but we have just been in a meeting with the boss and we were discussing using tablets (preferably android) rather than lugging laptops around shop to shop, district to district.
what I want to know is whether or not it is possible to port it to android or whether it will need to be re-written from scratch and how would we start such a development?
As you can tell I am not the programmer and I am asking on his behalf.
In short, we want to develop an application that allows a tablet to connect to cash registers using a USB connection and to be able to edit files retrieved from the till and then send it back down from the tablet to the till.
Possible? Impossible? Please let me know.
Nearly impossible to port the VB code as they are totally different programming paradigms. You'd pretty much have to start from scratch.
but the app is possible to create? the files are stored in the till using the model number as its extention +fls example
UP820 product extension is stored as PLU.UP820fls.
Is the app do-able? before my boss and I approach the programming department.
Oh, sure. The app is doable, but you'll need to start from scratch and maintain two code bases (VB and android) which can be a PITA.
Edited: Contact mod.
For $1k I'd buy JTAG and do it . And keep the rest (RIFF BOX is 119€ and a bit of soldering/getting board for another 10€ to avoid soldering).
Haha, this reward smells like scam

Hello
Can someone tell me if it posible to replace/change just one character in Rom in Windows Mobile 5 Device, knowing where it is (memory address)
Device is not listed anywhere on this forum, and really it does not matter, since it runs Windows Mobile 5 and I can connect to it with ActiveSync (USB or Serial)
Willing to pay $1000 for solution.
Honestly, will paypal the money to someone that can help
Thanks

Why would you pay $1000 for a solution for a Windows Mobile 5 phone when you can get a Windows Mobile 6.1/6.5/WP7 phone for HALF the price.
Response to your concerns
This is not a Mobile Phone and I do not have one but several thousands of these in my posetion. Again this device is very rare and you will not find it anywhere. Solution to my problem can be used over and over again.
Simply its just like a phone running Windows Mobile 5 and I just need to change few lines of memory addresses in ROM. Please help.
For those that think its a scam, fine, I will offer $10 for solution, but for someone that can believe I will paypal $1000 instantly upon working solution.
I would agree with JTAG but I have several thousands of these in my hand and I need faster solution. Please help. I can run any files, commands for you on my device and provide results. Thanks again
You might want to try also itsutils's app "pdocwrite", that might do the job too. Or psetmem, if it is in RAM and not ROM.
wouldnt Jtag be just as quick as connecting a phone to a computer... booting into the rom, changing code etc etc etc? over and over and over again?
That said... Your best bet is to send one of these "devices" to a developer on here who can take the rom and make the changes that need to be done and make a custom rom for you.
Thats my two cents!
You are a little silent on the details of what you want to change in the device. There is hardly a universal solution for the task you have sketched. Let me outline the levels of security that have to be passed:
Running programs e.g. for manipulating memory (RAM or ROM) may in the first place be restricted by OS security (policy). This must be overcome and is also know as "Application Unlocking" of the device.
Some files on a device can simply be replaced by RAM copies and those will take the function of the ROM part after copied to the device and a subsequent reboot.
If really the ROM itself must be changed (as 2. does not work) then you have to be able to read out the ROM, dis- and re- assemble its parts (aka "cooking") and finally load back the results to the device. Several security mechanisms are in place for devices to ensure that only the legitimate authorities can do this.
Thanks to joint efforts et XDA-developers many popular devices could be hacked at that level to foster the popular cooking activities.
So if you give some more hints on what character you want to have changed and where you see it (but want to see a different one) then even other options may come up, e.g. changing data in the databases that are use for translating user interface parts (control panel), other data-driven options (e.g. registry) and so on.
So in the end there may be a much simpler solution to your problem that you thought about so far?
are these some chinese knockoff model and you need to change something to sell them on without non chinese people having problems? i would help but got rid of my chinese to english rom hardware last year
reward still availble
can someone help? I can read files from ROM, but how to write back? utility is there but its uncompiled.
I don't think you've made enough threads on this issue. I think you should post 5,6,7 maybe even 8 more and see if someone responds...
what device are u meaning to change?
Thread closed, contact me to talk about the thread.
SpectraCal, a leading company in the video monitor calibration business, is looking for software developers that can take their existing Windows based calibration software and either port it over to Android or create a similar experience for tablet users.
Calibration software utilizes a USB connected devices called Colorimeters, Spectroradiometers, or more commonly referred to as "Probes".
Not only would you need to be able to write the program to run on tablets, but you would have to be able to create drivers to connect these USB devices to work with the software...now that most tabs have USB (screw the iPad)
I am in no way affiliated with SpectraCal, and only learned of their desire when asking them about Android support. I am a user of the Windows based application called Calman, and I am in the market for a tablet to replace my laptop, which is only used for web based stuff, BUT ALSO CALIBRATION...My only choices so far are the few Win7 based tablets coming out, but would much rather have an Android based tablet that I can use for calibration as well.
The company's website is http://spectracal.com and the contact for anyone who is interested is L.A. Heberlein, [email protected].
Greetings
I am kinda of curious about how people actually use his/her Galaxy Note 4.
Is a replacement for a computer?
Is it a social media device?
A work companion?
Or is a jack of all trades for personal use?
I have seen about 7-10 reviews on the device and I have yet to see anyone use the pen in programs like Excel or Word type applications.
I see them use it for cutting and pasting clips of this or taking notes etc. But I have yet to see any actual power business user stress the device when using business applications.
Every user has a different niche for a particular mobile device. We all use them differently because of various reasons.
I see the device being compared the latest Apple & Nexus offerings, mainly because of real estate of the screen.
You can get a “stylus”third party for both the Nexus & Apple devices. I don’t think that those third party stylus’s are as user friendly or functional as the Note 4’s.
Does any one know of a review or demonstration that demo’s in particular the office type app’s?
I use my device as a business user, I am just curious to see how others use the device and what shortcuts/tricks they have come with when using they device..
Thanks in advance
