Hello guys,
I bought a car all-in-one unit (aka car dvd gps) from China, it has a better software than I thought and it's running with WinCE 6.0.
However, there are somethings that I'd like to change in the firware (or ROM?). For example, the music list of the USB player does not show the full file name, only around 10-11 characters and I'd like to increase it.
I managed to open a file explorer so I could take a look in the system files, but there is nothing relevant... only some logo images (from the boot screen) and some ini files.
I don't know if this is a software running in the WinCE startup or a firmware or a ROM.
Is there any way to export the firmware and modify it?
If this is a software, can anyone point me how can I put my hands on the files?
Thanks!
Your AIO technically consists of two parts: Windows CE w/ GPS and Multimedia. If you disassemble the AIO you can see there are two boards. The player you aren't lucky with is not part of Windows CE w/ GPS

Thanks.
Any chance to put my hands on the Multimedia software/firmware part?
I'm afraid you need aid by OEM/ODM

All,
My project is working with a custom-built, CE 4.2 device. We have access to regular firmware updates (OS + drivers). With all of these discussions around hacking/breaking apart a firmware, is there anyway that we could reverse engineer some of the underlying components, such as the network driver, NDIS implementation, or any other bits of code? Or, is the furthest we could get is just break apart the image and see the contents of the image?

Once we've got the image taken apart, we can normally dump the constituent files out of it. Once you get there, you can reverse engineer files in the usual way. That depends on your familiarity with ARM assembler.

Universal os.nb
this is the file i need from the new I-mate AKU3.2 Rom from there i can build a new wizard rom with platform builder granted i also get the OMAP BSP!
but do you know a way to extraxt os.nb from a universal?

Would anyone on this board be willing to be paid to perform this kind of work?
I've brought myself a Stereo of ebay which runs WinCE 5 for the navigation, I've worked out how to get back to windows but the version of windows is very stipped and in chinese.
I want to upgrade my Rom File so that its in english and will run more software and a custom interface like MioPocket 2...
I've found Grab IT which looks like it will dump the Rom, Can I then use Windows CE Emulator to edit the rom?
Does the .bin file need converting?
If I do manage all this how do I dump the new rom back to the head unit?
Anyone got any ideas
The device emulator is just a emulator it's not a kitchen, how would you edit the files?
Just to test it before its loaded back on the Stereo.
Ill edit all the files they try it with the emulator make sure its ok then dump it back on the stereo, but at the moment I cant get the image off the stereo so the emulator is least of my issues.
I just got access to Hyundai touch screen Windows CE 6 operating system.
There is a shell over the OS to give the user experience. I am looking for help and customizing the shell. Mostly .map files and other files.
If someone is experienced in this let me know, I can pay for your time as well.

I advise you to re-post your issue here:
http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=71
Win C.E.6 on PNA
Where can I find a collection of dlls for this as having problems using C.E. 5s.
Complete set of WinCE 5 and/or WinCE 6 DLLs you search them for on FileCrop.com, or concerning WinCE 5, you simply download a copy of MioPocket 4.0, where they are located in folder \MioAutoRun\System.
Hi,
I use a media player which produced in China in my car. As you guess it has its special GUI for radio, media player, TV etc. Anyway, its video player doesn't support many codecs and i have to convert them using old video codecs. As i read there is a TCPMP video player for windows mobile devices. I just want to be sure that this program is right for my device and i want to download its version which has the largest video codec support. Can you help me?
Regards
Even nobody has an idea?
A TCPMP that flawlessly runs under CE 6 comes with ceFFM, which you find here at xda-developers.!

Thanks for answer...Can you give to me the link of the TCPMP's latest version? And i couldn't find a way to install CAB version of it. Should i try another way to install it?
Regards

Hi,
I will use this too...But when i try to install it with CAB file it says that it's incompatible with Win CE 6.0 . Is there any simple way to install CAB files to Win CE 6.0?
Regards
If wceload.exe is part of your CE 6.0 then you should be able to instal a CAB packaged for WinCE (not Win Mobile).
Also you were already told which TCPMP to use. I'm wondering why you ignored this.

In fact i have 2 problems. First is which version of TCPMP should i use and second problem was how will i install it ! I tried to install version which @toxas offered but i had error.
So what should i do? How can i use wceload? I saw that some people extract CAB files with some programs (WinCE CAB Manager) and they put files manually. But as i saw TCPMP adds a registry key and i don't know how will i do it manually
What is the easiest way to install TCPMP program to my ARM based media player device?
Regards
AFAIK most popular CAB-extractor is MSCEInf tool. I use it too.
Yes, TCPMP heavily modifies device's registry, but this is done by TCPMP automatically if/when it runs first time, thus you don't have to scare about. You should backup registry's HKCR section before running TCPMP, though.
IMHO your problem indeed is fact you are confusing yourself: simply concentrate on your initial goal, means copy TCPMP to your CE 6.0 unit and run it. As said, use TCPMP version as it comes with ceFFM.

In fact that ceFFM is very attractive for me...But i don't know whether it's completely compatible with my media player which i use at 2011 Opel Astra (It's from your country ) or not. If there will be problem with ceFFM then i don't know how will i come back to original version.
So, as a final, i will extract files of TCPMP CAB file with using MSCEInf tool and i will copy this files to my device then i will execute exe. I can't believe to myself because i ask such questions I work as software developer at a company Last question should i copy this files to any special folder in Win CE file structure?
Regards
In my worklife I was a software developer, too.
You install TCPMP either to unit's internal storage memory device (flash disk) or to unit's external storage memory device (sd-card), you have the option of either, but never install it to \Windows\Program Files or even to root (\).
To clarify things: I only recommended to use TCPMP which is located in ceFFM-X.X.X\program files\players (already unpacked and thus ready for use).

Hello I just got a navigation dvd cd player for the car, it runs win ce 6.0, I can access the win ce windows enviorment using Igo patch that I downloaded, it does not however let me run any of the gps it has on it but will let me use the windows navigation I see the start menu and everything, anyway to manually change the path through that, or does anyone have the NaviOne directory I can download to my sdcard as the sdcard that came with it had nothing on it at all, thank you so much

Things I've tried, I've tried pointing it to the new application, If I use the Igo deal I had it will load up with 3 buttons on it, the last button says windows when I click that windows ce 6.0 pops up, but the other two do not work at all, i get a error message instead when trying and says to force quit
This is a chinese knock off brand and I have no clue how to find out the manufacture as it has no information on it
Hi
I have been playing around with a Masten GPS bought 5 yrs ago and have NaviOne stored on my pc. There some basic restrictions for the program to work.
NaviOne folder needs to be the root directory
The resident GPS folder like America or Europe has to renamed as Street as well IGO.exe----->Street.exe
Next there needs to be an Offroad folder that contains an Offroad.exe app.
If you want to NaviOne run off the sdmmc there a problems with switching between flash drives The app will need to be hacked by hand because these links are hard wired inside the app
