how to determine an XDA environment - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi ,
I have a similar question as my neighbour,
but in another context:
I want do detemine from my Pocket PC-Application (written in eMbedded C++),
if it is runnung on an XDA or not.
(If it is not runnung on an XDA, I want to disable the phone-part of my application).
Perhaps anyone knows ?
Bye
Franz

I think the TAPI function phoneInitializeEx would do the trick. It will return the number of available phone devices.
It won't be able to tell an XDA from any other Pocket PC with a phone extension, but you probably don't want to do that anyway?

There are 2 things you can do.
If you want to know if you are runnung on an XDA then use lineGetGeneralInfo to get Model and Manufacturer.
For my XDA the Manufacturer comes up as HTC and the Model as Wallaby.
When you use lineGetGeneralInfo I have found that the phone needs to be on otherwise the call fails.
As an alternative you could use lineGetRadioPresence to see if there is a radio.
Both of there methods are in documented in ppc3sdkr.chm that comes with the PocketPC 2002 SDK.

Native Device Locking?

Is there way to use the native WM5 "Device Lock" function directly used by quickapp.exe? I would like to call it directly via path...
I know there are great addon execs allowing to lock the device for certain conditions like "Yet another device lock application" :?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45953&highlight=device+lock
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,

What do you want to do, lock by command line?
I think my old version, VJDeviceLock, does that. Just launch it from any launcher and it should lock.
On my website or here:

Hi vijay555,
Thank you for your reply! I am currently using VJDeviceLock
and forgot to mention it... Besides it works like a charm
I am just curious if there is a WM5 supported/possible command line way?
Reading the forum comments I guess not...
There probably is a way, programatically. I remember it can also be enabled by a certain keypress, although I forgot which one. I foudn this out with VJKeyPress
My Mio A701 comes with an app like VJDeviceLock that enables the lock in the same way. I'll have to reverse engineer it one day.

Thanks for your help...
Damn. Got a new test device Samsung SGH-i320 w. WM5. VJDeviceLock does not seem to work any longer: "Installation of vjdevicelock.cab was unsuccessful. The installation file is not intended for this device." :roll:
Hi vijay555,
Do you have any planned betas of VJDeviceLock / modified CAB. that runs on my Samsung WM5?
Thanks,
m.
muck3d: unfortunately I don't have access to the device, so can't develop specifically for it - although I would love to support it. If you know where there's a rom dump, that might get me started, but otherwise, I can't promise any time frame for now
If you feel competent to do a bit of (safe) system hacking, you might be able to help me get something working... PM me if you think you could help out.

I'm in the same situation...I tryes BBConnect, but it makes the Trinity too slow...and furthermore I didn't get the appropriate account set up, in fact no way to sync with MS xchange...
It would be great having a fast way to "replicate" the account from my BB...and dismiss it 4ever!
Anyone else?
I tried BBConnect 4.0 without success, i missed to activate the option on sim card.

BBConnect 4.0 should be available for download from the carriers.

Have you confirmed with your internal technology straff that they will allow you to use a non-Blackberry device with the Blackberry service? I know there are now ways to use non-Blackberry devices with the Blackberry service (even if they don't work well), but your internal IT people will have to configure your account to do so.
I asked my IT people to do that for me and they completely refused. The reason they use Blackberry (instead of Microsoft exchange, etc.) is because with Blackberry, they have total control over how I use my Blackberry, so they can close any security holes and otherwise restrict my use of the device. For example, we can't use the SD card on our phones, can't use Messaging, and can only use the Blackberry browser for the Internet. While this sucks as a user, it lowers their cost to support since there is much less chance that I will install a rogue application or otherwise screw up my Blackberry and then expect them to help.
If they're willing to let you use it, I'd definitely say go for it, but be aware that at some point you're probably going to have tot tell them that they need to update their server information to start sending the mail to a new device ID. When you do this, they're probably going to ask why, which could open a whole can of worms...
Good luck!
Mike
I would like to use my P3600 i.o. the BB. In this case I could avoid having 2 devices...I asked my IT dept and, as you stated, they did not support it. Now, is there a way to use BB on my P3600 with no help rom the IT dept?
I have the P3600, the BB, and 2 TIM wih the same number (1 normal +1 twincard). Obviuously, I do not want to dismiss my P3600 and use only the BB!!! PLEASE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!
any other help ?
please....!!!
As far as I know, you can have BB connect working, by using the DOPOD WM5 ROM and BB Connect version 2.1.2.52
You should try, it will work.
BBConnect will work with WM6 on Trinity.
Search this forum for bbconnect_wm6_professional_bb_4_1_.0.0.90.exe this is the BBConnect install for Trinity WM6
Ensure that your SIM has been enabled for Blackberry before you install. The rest is easy.
Good Luck!

Please HELP me with my XDA SP WM 2003

Hello,
I'm sure answers to these question must be posted here already but I haven't been able to find them so far.
I have recently acquired a XDA SP (don't know which version) and I have several questions about it, so I hope someone can help:
1. I have some bluetooth stero headphones which I currently use with a Dell Axim. Can I use these with my XDA SP? The bluetooth stack doesn't support them currently, so is there an upgrade I can apply? How?
2. The phone only seems to offer "Dial-up network Networking" as a service; how can I get it to offer file browsing, etc.?
finally, for now
3. Can I upgrade the OS to WM5 (or preferably 6)? How?
thanks in advance.

WM6.5 for ultimate 9502

Hello guys!
I know that you guys support only HTC phones, but duo to your amazing works, i decided to ask here. I have I-mate ultimate 9502 wm6.1 and i would i to have wm6.5 (very jealous lol). My question is:- anyone knows if there is any cooked wm6.5 for ultimate devices?? or if there is any cooked wm6.5 that can be used on 9502?
Thanks
I'm using 9502 and 6150.
And it seems this site is HTC Developers or something like all-except-imate developers. They won't create subforum for imate, not even one. And if I ask something about imate, ppls here will just switch to pretend-that-there-is-no-post-about-imate mode... even if they see it, they just banish ppls that ask about imate stuffs.
And personally I think this site, XDA-Devs is so bad, not only they so HTC-crap oriented. Many ppls here just cant solve any small problem, for ex: my Windows Live Messenger Mobile's emoticon suddenly disappeared for unknown reason..
I ask it here and no one able to solve that...
How do you expect ppls here CAN or ABLE to break imate ROM lock to create new WM6.5 or upcoming WM7 ROM?
I'm so pessimist with people here, they're so HTC oriented and don't care about imate users. They should change their name to HTC-Developers so ppls know that this site is not for all PDA...
its so sad and disheartening...
but thank god i have a htC
thank god i have a diamond lol

No! Since there is Sony Ericsson's PDA and some Palm PDA here also...

XDA is a specific kind of device manufactured by HTC. XDA's all share a common architecture which means the unlocking and ROM flashing process is very similar. The Xperia X1 for instance was manufactured by HTC and thus shares this architecture. Devices such as the imate ultimates are very different. Perhaps they could be figured out too, but unfortunately there just may not be enough popularity for those devices. Whether or not a device will have XDA support is a factor when I decide to purchase a wm device.
Perhaps someone else can give a better explanation of what exactly an XDA is but hopefully you kind of get the idea from my explanation.
I know XDA, it the old kind of PDA, before PDA (from Wikipedia).
What I think is: even 9502 got the same hardware as Diamond, so what's the diff?
I can use Diamond's driver and HTC things in my imate, so what? diff architecture? I don't think so...

honestly not to blow your bubble but i doubt you will ever be able to update winmo 6.5. as for a cooked rom , you are definetly not in the right forum . i checked on google for you and theres so custom roms having 6.5 or even 6.1 lol . so i think you could just try spb mobile shell to give your phone a new look . . sayonara
No, you can't since 9501 got more advanced function like Quadband GSM, Tiband UMTS, TV-Out and many more. Plus the ROM Update is locked with special password.
But the rest, the basic architechture (MSM7200) is the same as Diamond.

Hi, that is the difference between imate and htc, you mention it.
And I guess, not just that, they can share the same architecture, but there's must be many differences between the two pdas.
let say an xda atom comparing to hp ipaq 6282(cmiiw), they both hv same hardware configuration, but they have really different drivers to use.
And maybe that's why there's no such cooked rom 4 imate,etc
Thanks for the suggestion, I wish it had worked.

No, won't work, even if you have an HTC device and try to install a ROM that was intended for another HTC device still won't work, ROMs are device specific.
Btw, I had an Ultimate 9502 but I sold it because of the limited support that Imate devices have and I got an HTC instead.
I don't think you'll be getting any more support anytime soon because the company has been closed.

Yup, you're right. But I think there a bunch of clever devs here that can oversome this lil problem I guess... Or my guess is wrong? Devs here are not as clever as I think so they can't even break this ROM lock?
I'm trying to cook a ROM now for Ultimate 9502, tho i'm so professional but i know how to read those amazing threads that you guys have writen. My question now is:- is there anyone who can help i case i need some professional advices??

WOW! ^^ Yup, there's some people here like Shonky or casouzaj that can help you... I can help you a little, but not for doing program disassembly. I had tried to reverse engineer the EUM for flashing but couldn't find the solution for ROM lock. But I'm able to confirm that the camera.exe for 9502 is natively capable of GPS-Photo but lack of required registry code/system files. And the A-GPS is supported but no one can utilize the API. For A-GPS, you can check in the registry, there is a key named HKLM\Software\Mobi\agps, inside there's some keys with blank value. Tried to fill them but got no luck. Hope you can continue developing ROM for our devices. Thank you very much. ^^
You are welcome man. What i really need to know now is how to find the damn XIP start, i have read maybe all the threads about xip but still the damn RomMaster is giving me an error. In my opinion there is somethinig wrong when i splitnb and then imgfsfromnb, it gives me an imgfs that has a size of 0 is that the right way u did it?
Hmmm, from the way that I did....
I just read it somewhere that the core and XIP for imate series ROM is compressed. Therefore need additional tool to extract it. So we can't extract it by usual HTC ROM method.
And I just realized that, and that's explain why my compiled ROM got smaller size than the original ROM even though I didn't alter anything, just decompile and recompile.

!!! Rosetta Stone for Windows Mobile !!!

Hello everyone, I was wondering if it is possible to have “Rosetta Stone” the language learning software running on HTC Rhodium: Touch Pro2, Tilt 2. I am currently trying to learn Tagalog spoken in the Philippines. I would be very thankful if someone can help me out on this. I am never home since I am a part time student and working full time so this would help me out greatly. If someone can help me out I would be very thankful and as a promise I will buy you a drink
I have tried converting software to convert language files (but I don’t know where to ever start)
I have searched online but majority of the post were at least 2 year old and did not help at all.
I have Rosetta stone on my PC which downloaded form torrents and it is installed but I have to use Power ISO. To mount the language CD and then study.
Also I am a noob therefore detail guide would be greatly appreciated thank you very much.
Someone please help me out!!!!!!!!
Thank you everyone in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!
unless the company has released a mobile version of the ap.... nope. You're stuck learning on your PC or laptop.

You cant just convert an .exe to a.cab fine and pop it in the phone and have it run. You would basically have to rewrite an entire new program.
Do a GOOGLE for Rosetta Stone WM there are lots of options out there on other forums that cannot be posted on this forum

you can convert the downloaded torrent files to mp4 using "videora htc touch pro2 converter"...i have some p90x videos on my tp2...videora converts everything...lol...best of all its free...you may want to convert it while you sleep cause it can be a little slow, depending on the quality you select...
i know this isn't really what you meant but couldn't you run it through remote desktop? i think there a way to have the sound come out through the device speakers.

There is a slight problem with your solution: rosetta stone isn't videos, it's interactive software so you can't just convert it and make it smaller. I think the best solution is just to use RDC. If you tried to put language cds on your phone it would slow to a crawl if not more trying to read the large files.
Thx Everyone!!
Thank you everyone but i guss i have no option than to sit on my PC and study which is like 20 to 30 min a day . I would have been very helpfull since i spend 2 to 3 traveling each day. If anyone figus out anyway please let me know and i would be very thankfull.

I don't think the dude knew what he was talking about. I have been longing for a mobile version of Rosetta Stone forever.
Can't one install Linux or something on the phone and then run the app from there?
Tried a session through remote desktop, only problem is that Rosetta Stone in full-screen wasn't really full-screen, wrong aspect ratio and hence a significant part of the right screen on my phone went unused. I couldn't get speech recognition to work either. Anyone have an idea on how to enable a bluetooth microphone to send audio to the pc from the phone remotely?
adjust remote desktop setting to have it adjust the screen size tot he size fo your phone screen. you can also adjust the color quality there.
Could be. I still need to know how to map my microphone to the remote session and then have Rosetta Stone use the microphone for its own purposes.
since when does Rosetta Stone use a microphone? do you mean speakers?
since it exist!
