Hello all,
WeeWheel 1.16 is an application that uses the Acceleration Sensor (Accerlerometer) of your phone to simulate a joystick, keyboard and/or mouse on your PC!
Info: http://www.weewheel.com
Comments are greatly welcome.
I now only support Nokia 3rd and 5th edition devices with Python. I would like to ask the Windows Mobile Guru here to if you want to write a simple programm for Windows Mobile (in python or not) so WeeWheel can also support Windows Mobile devices.
If you have any knowledge of programming for (Windows) mobile devices i would appreciate if you write a small programm for any device you know to program of. You can post it here: http://www.weewheel.com/forum/index.php/board,16.0.html
Guidlines can be found here http://www.weewheel.com/forum/index.php/topic,41.0.html
Thanks!
Thank you for your contribution. However, XDA-Developers is a Windows Mobile site, and does not deal with the Symbian OS.
-Edit-
After a discussion with the OP, I am reopening the thread since he is looking for interested parties to assist with posting this app to Windows Mobile.
bump & start post updated
hope you find some takers for this.. It looks likea great idea...
there's an open SDK for those kinds..
you can use any object as your wheel and gear
yes i know but i have no windows mobile device
I have a question, and possibly a challenge to you programmers out there. Is there any program for windows media center where i can browse the TV guide from far away not LAN and select things to record?
there is a program called "phone my PC" that lets me remotely connect to my PC from anywhere with cellular service or WiFi connection. However all the WMC remotes i have seen use LAN. Also, all seem to require me to be in front of the screen.
If none exist, im sure there are many people who would love a polished remote control app that would let you
1 browse the guide and set programs to record from work.
2 browse through recorded programs on your phone WITH thumbnails while your
already watching a program
3 has all the other functionality that the "myremote" already has
4 please make it work on vista
Any other ideas?

You could try remote potato. There was a guy who started making an android version but I think he gave up.

looks like a really cool program.. it seems to use a web browser from another pc to control a home pc..
if he didnt give up as u say he may have, all he would need to add is the remote control features in "myremote" and blend it in with the rest of the features for the perfect all in one app..
with a lot of polish, and im talking the kind of polish put into the android OS itself. i would be willing to pay some nice coin for such an app.
Big screen global has a remote guide via mobile browser, they currently have a windows 7 app, might make an android one also. works well for me

Hello im new to android i have a advent vega but will love it to have some sort of windows on it if anyone has any ideas or if this is possible please post thanks
Apparently the next version of Windows will be able to run on ARM processors such as the Tegra 2 in the Vega. I doubt it'll end up on the Vega, though someone might port it over.

If we do get windows on vega, would be able to install windows software such as skype,msn etc i probaly guess so but please correct if im wrong
I would be very surprised if windows will ever come to our vegas. Memory i would say is the main issue, xp would be the only one able to run with 512mb of ram, and that has poor touch screen support. I am running windows 7 with 1gb of ram (min system req) on my laptop, and it runs very slow. As far as i am aware even the netbook version needs 1gb. Be happy with android.
I wasn't really talking about windows 7 (although i would like that) but windows CE or windows mobile.
PS . As I said I only want it for the software.

Won't ever happen, windosws mobile is all closed source. Android is much better anyway, just get used to it
Agreed, winmob on the vega prob wont occour.
I too, miss some great apps and games which doubtfully will ever appear on andriod. The android gaming community, seems a little shallower than the wince lot.
I stll keep my htc touch and diamnd 2 specifically because of this.

android
i think if we can get android 3.0 (or whatever the numbers will be) on our vega's, its more then enough to have enough fun with it, an operating system that does not thing its a smartphone and optimized for tablets. i used many android smartphones before, but using even 2.2 on vega is more fun then any smartphone i think, at least you can read web sites and not harm your eyes
PS : i have a joojoo tablet too, which runs win7 and i think android is better and faster on a tablet like vega ( tegra2 tabets).
Some of the cheap import tablets like the Zenithink ZT-180 have roms for WinCE - but from what I have read nobody really uses them since even WinCE is pretty poor as a tablet OS (well, that and the ZT-180 is pretty rubbish!).
as a student you can get the windows embedded 7 development kit for free, that should be able to run on the advent vega but my knowledge isnt yet sufficient to build and deploy a rom in order t test it
I honestly don't understand this kind of question:
You have Windows a system built for PCs and to be operated specific using keyboard and mouse.
And then you have Android a system built for mobile devices to be operated specific with a touch screen.
I guess the question is not IF it's possible, but WHY in a hell would anyone even bother porting it?
Do you miss msn and skype? I got news for you, just download Skype and eBuddy from the market. Solved!

What about office tools? i have yet to find a decent word processor that retains all (or most) of word's features.
sadly, while gdocs looks lovely, writing documents is still a pain..
Although I also wish that I could do some serious work on my tablet / smartphone, you simply can not do it (too small screen => primarily wasn't meant for this kind of job, but it's great in mobility and therefore "valuable information on the go").
Tablets & smartphones are used to consume / present information and PCs / workstations are used to generate that information.
I have also tried all kind of Office software (QuickOffice HD, Polaris Office, Docs To Go, GDocs,...), but reality is that generating information on Android is 30-50% slower than on a 20" monitor with keyboard & mouse hooked on a PC.
Yes, you could make a new office software on Android that would need a keyboard, mouse & external monitor, but that would defeat the purpose of mobility.
And sadly there is no such good software on Android with so many funtionalities that are found in Microsoft Office.
IMHO you can do up to 30 minutes of work without problems, for anything above that, please do yourself a favor and use a PC.
This something that may interest you. Only on ipad as of now, but I am sure will be on android soon.

Edit OK can't post a link... search windows thin client via on live.
Yes, I already heard of that tech.
It's something like remote desktop (but a bit better).
http://desktop.onlive.com/overview
Will see how this performs in real life when it's released for Android.

And that time is NOW!
OnLive Desktop is now available on Android:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.onlive.desktop
For free registration and more info, check my above post!
I would like to hear your thoughts on this software!
EDIT: It appears the download is US only.
Here is a link to APK file.
Hmmmm interesting I am downloading now

Yani, its a good app, have you tried? I will use this all the time when I use my Vega during work. I find the windows apps quite poor on Android (I uses docs to go). This is great for reading and creating basic files. There are a few problems I have found so far.
1. The UI is not really designed for touch screen, I used with my docking station, keyboard and mouse but still was hard to click on the right part due to the alignment being off slightly on the mouse pointer.
2. Docs saved to the virtual desktop can be downloaded from a site called files.onlive.com. However when you try to access this site it says 'only available in USA'. So might be a nightmare to get off what you have created.
What do you think?

Sorry, but I haven't used this myself.
If you read my signature, I'm still on stock Froyo and this app needs at least Gingerbread.
I've read only good things about this.
I use QuickOffice for documents, but I only view documents, and these android office apps aren't even good at that!
But I've tried OnLive (for gaming) on SGS and it's amazing!!!!111one
Now to get some answers for your questions:
1. I think you need to restart your OnLive desktop in order to fully accept your mouse&keyboard input.
2. I went to https://desktop.onlive.com/account/myfiles and uploaded a doc file and then redownloaded it without a problem. I'm from Slovenia - EU and I've used Firefox on a PC with Ubuntu/Linux OS.
hi lats how to install im write my email address and nothing why sombody help mi?thanks
Anyone here know anything about hacking the Ford Sync navigation systems? Im told its windows mobile based, maybe windows ce? I really dont know for sure.
what i really want to do is let my android take over the touchscreen so my phone will be displayed on the nav screen. Just cant find many people who want to experiment with their cars. Ill be willing to test but need help developing.
If anyone else is interested in this project please let me know!
FORD Sync is based on the Microsoft Windows Embedded Automotive operating system. It should be possible to pair this WinCE unit with your Android based phone via Bluetooth. Bluetooth enables information to be sent between electronic devices that have Bluetooth.
Im not talking about pairing the phone with sync, im talking about my phone taking over sync.
I, like many others, want to use and access apps from the touchscreen. For example, i like google nav. I want to have google navigation displayed on my sync touchscreen and audio from my car speakers. same for pandora, ect.
OR, car home?
I do not believe Bluetooth is fast enough to handle the video, so this project will likley require the device to be plugged into the usb port.
A start will be hacking in and installing a feature that displays video from the usb. next steps would be getting the touch screen to work with the device and support audio(audio can be via Bluetooth anyways)
I would be happy if you could shell out to the CE interface
I have done some programming on CE and XP Embedded and we used to program with almost a full desktop installed then at last minute before delivery to customer we would remove most of the windows interface except a blank desktop and an application launch icon only. I wish we could enable all of the modules in this release. Pretty much anything windows can do...
On Sync if we could still run the standard apps and shell out to use the functionality of CE or XPE that would be awesome. Then you could just use visual studio express and program away for free. (may have to buy CE plugin ) Many Apps are available already.
Oh well I doubt any of this will happen but I would even pay for the keys to unlock Sync from Ford if they offered it!
What about Raspberry Pi integration rather than an Android? If the nav could be used as a display and input interface, the possibilities would be endless. Where can we start?

Good thing i have 2.
Thats the big question, how to use the nav screen that way. The RP would probably be better since it will be way easier to add the touchscreen interface. I wonder if we could just configure the screen to have a 2nd input that can be switched back and forth? sound would be an issue but a good second step.
I know this is an old post but here is a link. Ford finally open sourced their information. http://openxcplatform.com/
Hello,
My company has recently developed an application. This is a single page application for data collection.
The app works fine on android / IOS devices in the native browser.
However, we have a whole fleet of the Motorola MC65 devices. They run windows mobile 6.5 and they do not properly load the page.
Can anyone give any advice on a possible rom for this device?
Thank you so very much.

Hello Robert
We are in a similar situation with around 20 of those MC65 devices and would like to migrate them to Android. Have you eventually been successful in achieving this?
Thanks for letting me know!
