Windows Mobile 6 SDK

Has anyone tried the Windows Mobile 6 SDK
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...3A-A651-4745-88EF-3D48091A390B&displaylang=en
Have yet to download it myself, but I believed with this and the KITL mode we could compile a new crossbow rom? Maybe we could then use this core in the XDA-Live version?
Maybe anyone who knows about this stuff can give his reaction, I'm just thinking out loud.

man, d/l speed is slow.

I think you will find that the SDK is only for developing applications that run within the OS, not for creating images of the OS. This was the case for the mobile 5 sdk it allows developers to use the new cf.net framework. The 6 SDK includes the new namespaces including the updated system namespace and the new xbox namespace, as well as the new emulators.

Is there an emulator to run Window Mobile 6 roms?

Hi
I have got a HTC Wizard and I am looking for an emulator which allows me to possibly running beta roms before I flash it on my phone.
Had a look on google but couldn't find anything.
Any input would be greatful.

you mean for the pc?

No such thing. It's bad enough (for M$ and OEMs) that we can run other-then-original ROMs on the devices, last thing they want to do is release an emulator that can decode and run any ROM.
Though the new WM 6 and 5 emulators actually run ARM code and use a compiled ROM image for the OS, this image is in a special bin format, different from what is used on the devices.

Yeah I thought about that with M$. It would be nice to try and simulate what your rom would like on your device on your PC. Cheers for the replies though

I don't think it's impossible.

to write program for S300+ runing with WM5

hello !
I'm a french man, my english is quite poor!
I'd like to known if there is a FREE SDK to develop program for WM6 ?
I have only one program to develop and I don't want to buy a SDK like visual studio which is expensive !!
Thank for any answer
PhS

sdk is not the same as ide/compiler/toolchain. wm sdks are free while no version of vs usable with these sdk are free except evc4, which unfortunately can only use ppc2003 sdk or below.
there is a registry hack that allows you to install wm5 sdk on evc4 though. google is your friend. but then evc4 support c only - no managed code.
if you really want to try a full fledge env, don't even bother those express versions. download vs evaluation version inctead.

better rom for windowsmobilestandard

do any body know how to make roms for windowsmobile standard device want to change a few stuff on my samsungjack dont really like the orignal 6.5 rom help plz

"windowsmobile standard device"
don't exist
all roms are 100% custom made
unlike windows for pc which include drivers for many 1000's of hardware
windows mobile only got the drivers it require and all of them
if one is missing it fail to boot
and if non ms programs like camera, mms and the like software is not included those
features are absent
windows mobile device manufactors use the program which ms only give them access too
to add the custom made drivers for their hardware along with the 3th party apps to use those features

windowsmobile standard due exist you can find there section on this site

VB question

Hallo,
I have the question, if VB (not the sdk, only a program) could run on WM 6.5? I know there is a eMbedded runtime, to use VB, but only for the Version WM 3 ... Does anybody know, if VB program run also with these eMbedded runtime and WM 6.5?
Thanks und regards,
Flo

If the program has been written in VB .NET Compact Framework (Visual Studio 2002 onwards), then it should run on your device, without the need for a runtime, as the .NET CF is the 'runtime' for the program. All mobile devices have one version of .NET CF installed in rom on the device. Later versions can be installed. Even if the program was written for an earlier version of .NET CF than that on your device, if the device can JIT compile it successfully against the version installed then it will run. If serious differences exist between the methods used in the program's CF version and the device, then it will report that you will need a later version installing.
The moral of the story here, is keep your app as 'simple' as possible, and it increases the range of devices on which it will run.
A 'runtime' version of VB was used in Embedded Tools Version 3.0 (VB and EVC 3.0), before EVC 4.0 replaced it. It is no longer on Microsoft's website but other copies of it exist on the web if you search for it.
There is no reason why a program written in Embedded Tools 3.0 should not run on WinMo 6.5, though some of the dll 'import' definitions may be getting a bit long in the tooth. Like a lot of previous development environments, it's just been dumped at the side of the road.
