Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out. Seems a simple thing to do but I am lost. I bought a Pi 3 because I wanted to do retro gaming. I can't seem to get it going. Anything I download I am unable to open or run it. I just get a pop-up asking me to Choose and Application to open an 'unknown' file. Don't know what to do and very frustrating!

Hi all, I have an o2 xda mini s and have just been able to sync it (i have a mac). 2 main questions:
1 - on the review from this site, it shows the today screen with a load of large images down the left hand side, HOW?
2 - this is the biggie, I cannot get any java games to work (2 exceptions but they stuff up the system) and whenever I try to install any programs, it says it isn't a valid ppc application (don't anyone take offence but I chuffin hate windows aaarrrggghhhhhh)
Many thanks,
Phil
Which review? Post a link or a screenshot please!
For java, you need a java runtime app. Your phone might have come with one installed, the Orange Hermes does, and you load the java apps within that app itself (the java launcher launches the java apps. Native java apps won't work on the phone without it).
If you don't have a java launcher, you can probably grab one on the ftp site. If you need more help, shout out (nicely!)

Hi Vijay,
The phone i have tries to use MIDlet manager but has real problems, the 2 games it will load, when closed make the system freeze, othere either won't be accepted of give an icon and won't open (screen goes white and system locks). As for the icons n the left, I have realised they are an alternative start menu.
Cheers,
Phil
Are the games you are running actually built for the phone?
For example... running a game designed to run on a Motorola V300 is probably not going to run right on your phone.
Hi
I am using my Kaiser for business use and want to get rid of the dreaded paperwork and use my device for everything.
I visit various clients to carry out inspections. I am wondering if there is someway of having a program made to insert various information instead of loading the Inspection everytime in Word and saving it each time as this can be really slow and a real pain.
What programs are needed to make a working program to work on Windows Mobile? Does this sound like a do - able task or am I better of doing what I do now?
I do have a copy of the inspection sheet i use which is too large to upload here.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks In Advance.

Do you mean you have a word file or similar, and you want a program to populate it, to eliminate tedious scrolling and whatnot? It can be done. As far as doing it yourself, there are several routes/languages/IDE's to choose from, but the learning curve on programming is a little slow to justify just one program. If you've programmed before, I can help set you in the right direction. If you want to learn programming, I'd start on the computer, then move to the PPC once you've learned to program with libraries and DLL's.
However, if you want to email me the form, I'll see what I can do fo you. I won't charge, but any donation would be appreciated upon delivery.
Drop me a line with your email address and I will forward you a copy of the file I use for the inspection.
Mine is [email protected]
I've been trying to create themes for the Market Home Alternatives (such as Panda Home, Open Home, aHome, etc) however, I'm a Graphic Artist, not a programmer. I know very little about Java and even less as to how its applied to Android and I need some help here.
I managed to figure out how to create an .apk in Eclipse (after many failures and problems) and even figured out how to sign it in Eclipse. The app installs fine on my device but it doesn't do anything. It will not apply to any Home Alts.
What I need to know is, what do I need to include to allow it to access these home alternatives. Is there something I must include in the Android Manifest? I noticed a some XML files when I looked into other peoples theme.apk's that aren't in mine.
Could someone explain this to me please? I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks in advance to anyone who drops a line.

On another note, does anyone know why Jarsigner in the Java SDK wont open? When I try to open it, a command-like window opens and then immediately closes. Any ideas there?
Wow, I haven't been on XDA forums since forever!
Sorry if this is not in the right thread, but I really am not sure where to start for this, but XDA-Developers is an awesome and active community, and you guys usually get the job done. If no one here can help, perhaps someone could point me in the right direction of a website or forum to request for this sort of thing?
Ok, What I am looking for is someone willing to create a program that acts as sort of a launcher/dashboard type thing for windows. This program would basically be launched at the push of a button, and allow for a customizable set of options to appear anywhere within windows, most notably in games, and to be navigated via controller. I am thinking of something similar to the Xbox 360 controller's "guide" button, or PS3's "PS" button. both bring up a menu with options for convenience, and I am surprised to have not found anything like this for PC Gamers. I personally have an HTPC setup where my machine is hooked up to my tv, and having this sort of feature would be a great addon for my setup!
So basically, pressing the "home button" on said controller, would bring up a pop up menu, allowing options such as launching a customized program/utility/etc (perhaps a quick way to launch steam, or even steam big picture mode); being able to shutdown, restart, or even sleep PC; shutting off controller (if its a wireless controller of course); or even an option to reassign controller inputs, similar to how PS3 allows (probably again specifically for wireless controllers); or even allowing quitting of the currently running game/program. Of course these are just some options that could be done, as I'm sure others could think of even better ideas than myself.
Obviously, I know nothing about programming myself, so I have no real skill to do this sort of thing, but if a developer or someone willing were to be able to make something like this, and it work pretty good, id be more than happy to donate to the person. I know PC gamers can be vastly different from one another, so someone else's need (including myself) would probably seem rather silly and pointless to another. Im sure desktop gamers would not find much use for this. But then again I think there are others that would, and I personally think HTPC gamers specifically would appreciate a program like this. Again, I don't know much about programming, but I would assume creating a simple but customizable pop up menu would not be too difficult. I think the hardest part would be finding the function call for the xbox guide button, and whatever commands to call to turn off said controllers. But creating options like custom program launcher, shutting off pc, etc, are probably a lot easier. I personally use PS3 controllers via Bluetooth, but they just emulate a xbox 360 controller on my pc, so I think my only difference would be a command specific to PS3 controllers to turn off said controller.
Anyone else think this is a good idea? I've asked several of my gaming peers whom all seem to agree this would be a cool idea to be able to have. This could technically bring a more console-like experience to PC gaming as well. If no one here is interested, or able to help, I would much appreciate anyone willing to direct me to another website or forum that possibly could help me? Much thanks guys! Let me know what you think.
Any takers? Anyone? Someone at least give me an idea of where else I could go to request something like this? thanks
I don't think there is a way to intercept the guide button being pressed on an Xbox controller easily, but steam big picture somehow does it so it must be possible.
Otherwise it wouldn't be the hardest thing in the world to do.
There's a program called "xboxext" by a djpety that utilizes the guide button by popping up a window allowing you to turn off your Xbox controller.
I haven't had any luck in getting a reply from him, but it seems he has managed to figure out how to get the guide button to work. Apparently its an undocumented API call, which is probably the same thing big picture mode in steam uses.
Either way, if someone were able to create this particular utility using another button, it would be a great start. Long term goal would be to allow function via guide button, but it could be any button for the time being.
Hmmm.... Anyone?

Maybe about 4-9 months ago there was a driver for the Pokeball plus for PC floating around on the web; I found the link on a blog post or something which forwarded me to another site. But unfortunately I've reformatted my harddrive due to some parsing issues is was having and no longer have the file.
Does any one have the drivers for the Pokeball Plus? I can get the Pokeball to connect to my PC but it doesn't recognize the Inputs.
I had it set up at one point in time; had a great idea for a Project I wanted to develop with the device. Had other projects to attend to; left that on the back burner.
And now it no work
Any thoughts?
Following up on this-- I've been searching for the same things and I had no idea someone had made a driver for it! if anyone's got any info on this or any other avenues to accomplish something like this it'd be a huge boon.
I have also found this? seems to suggest that it can work within Yuzu and it might be possible to take advantage of the hooks while the emulator's running https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/pull/8934
Doesn't go as far as fiddling with the pokemon inside so whether it's possible to fiddle with the lights and sounds is anyone's guess, but it's one possibility as far as the i/o on this thing.
