Anyone building any themes with a Mac? There isn't a java download specifically for macs so i wasn't sure. But i figured i could do everything else, mount the g1 and push/pull files. I want to do this without having to piece together a cheap ass pc machine and scrounge up a copy of photoshop.
i would like to be able to make them to and i have a mac as well

I found files all over the forums and the internet that i really like. We all know that Windows mobile OS is capable of doing everything you want it to do but the problem is sometimes you just have a hard time finding the right apps. So i thought of starting a thread where people could just post any file that they think would help make the Ultimate Pocket PC. By anything i mean anything, any format any genre. eg:browsers, themes, players etc. What i basically mean is let's make the ultimate pocket pc with everything that we have got. Hope you guys like the idea
Below are jus some files that i find helpfull.

Hi all, does anybody know if there is an emulator that i can use on my pc for working on cube design before i transfer to my phone, HTC Niki? Sure this has probably been covered before but i'm new to this and can't find a thread so maybe it hasn't?
The closest you'll get is running the Windows Mobile device emulator, and and putting your cube design on that... The emulators are part of the WM5/WM6 SDK, and are quite large... http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...F2-F524-4EC5-9155-717CBE5D25ED&displaylang=en
Thanks l3v5y that's really helpful will give it a go
I really want to port a small tool to be able to run my magic jack on my HD2. There is a really small and simple tool called MJMD5 that allows you to use your magicjack with any SIP client.
I have the source code for linux, possibly it can be compiled using cygwin for the HD2?
ftp://ftp.bauer-power.net/misc/magicjack/mjproxy.c.tgz
Also, there is a tool that works with windows, but there is a incompatibility with the GUI that isnt allowing it to run on my HD2, a small tweak should fix it.

I am completely new to mobile software development so I hope someone could help me get this working!
Thanks
Is nobody willing to even put me in the right direction?
The source code is for a linux console app; you can't port that easily to WM GUI. You'd need the source code of the Windows exe. To my knowledge, there is no Cygwin version for WinCE yet, or were you referring to cegcc?! It could probably be ported as a console app anyway, but I assume that you want the GUI.
And using a console on the HD2 is somewhat problematic, as the OS has console debug output. I would not recommend that for user programs.
Yeah, I am referring to cegcc. I am not too concerned about the GUI, I just need the functionality, and this program doesnt really need a console, but just needs to be run with certain parameters which is possible with WinCE. So, does anyone know how to compile it for windows mobile?
I appreciate any help.

OK; I'm reasonably sure that it can be ported with either cegcc or celib. I'd probably do it with celib. I have adapted celib to work with PocketConsole. I just tested my port of perl 5.8.8 on the HD2, and socket/internet functionality seems OK.

About the Windows exe, it appears to be a .NET assembly. But it may not run on Windows Mobile because it is for the desktop Framework, and not the Compact Framework. .NET assemblies can be decompiled, however. Maybe that can help you too.
I don't have this MagicJack, but from what I read about it on the internet, I doubt that it can be used with Windows CE at all if you want to plug it into the HD2 directly, and the USB connector may be different as well. I don't know if that's what you want. Depending on how it communicates with its host, you may even need a driver for it. I think that the HD2 has USB OTG, but it may still not work without a driver. I would find that out first.
In terms of recompiling it, I am pretty sure it will work. Sorry but I am a bit of a novice at this, but how would I do either compiling option?
Thanks
I would use Dis# for decompiling; I just tried to decompile the exe, and that seemed to succeed. No guarantees though; not at all tested. You can have Dis# put the source files and project files in a subdirectory. Then I'd use VS2008 for compiling.
A quick test showed that the IniFile class of this program imports unmanaged functions from kernel32, which is not present on WM. The functions are GetPrivateProfileString and WritePrivateProfileString. I don't think that coredll has them, so porting would probably not be easy. This is a known porting issue; not very severe, but it's only the start. I think that ini files are regarded as legacy by Microsoft. The registry is used for settings.
The most logical thing would seem to me to contact the developer to write a CE version if the device works with generic CE USB drivers. And then you'd still have the connector problem, and possibly even an incompatible interface; I don't know how HTC implemented the USB port. This is assuming that you want to plug it into the HD2 directly. You are not clear about that, so I can't be more specific either.

I been frustrated for two days now trying to format fat32 on osx.Disk Utility only formats FAT and exFAT,these to filesystems are not recognized by android.
Even worst,once you format external or internal sdcard in osx with FAT or exFAT,those volumes wont even mount in clockwork!So there is no way to format them in cwm!
I only have one windows laptop with broken screen,to make it short i gotta go and hock it up to my tv every time i wanna format my sdcard.
I tried iPartition with no sucess and cant use gParted because my imac has broken dvd drive.
Any suggestions on how to format sd in osx to a filesystem that android will recognize?
And how do i format external sd from cwm?Because it formats internal and not external.
Thanx in advance.
I dont remember having those problems with regular Epic.
You could get your hands on the latest vmware fusion, install xp or linux on it, then go that way. You could make a usb flash drive bootable and put gfarted on it. You could heimdal (sp) the phone with a back to stock. How about adb into the phone and format the internal card (I don't know if it's possible and I don't know how to do it). How about put the external card into another phone that takes micro sd cards and format it there.

gParted on usb wont work because macs dont boot off usb,i cant even boot windows 7 dvd from external dvd drive,thats the reason i dont have windows 7 installed.As far as using wmvare,etc-i wont do it because it slows down system with few services that take ups cpu and ram.
I just wanted to know maybe someone knows some partitioning app that runs directly on osx,or maybe a terminal command or something like that.
Its hard to believe that there isnt even one partitioning app for osx(besides iParted-which only resizes partitions and doesn't format them,and it crashes on my snow leopard).
I know there are some mac users on here that have same issue.

Never tried setting mbr in Disk Utility.And i do have windows7 laptop with broken screen that i almost never use and i had linux,out of all 3 i like osx snow leopard the most.
Now if you got time and knowledge to tweak sht than linux and windows are better.Im still getting used to macs but i wouldn't go back to windows(maybe win 8)

I had developer edition of 8 & wow it blows ..... Instant remove for me...I know it may get better and more refined but just hate the way the GUI is set up.... I like a cleaner more hidden setup....not alot of icons .. To me 8 is just windows 7 with windows phone GUI crammed on top ... Another fall in my opinion it will be another millennium

Exactly what i thought,i tried it on vmware.
They just slimmed windows 7 and overplayed it with metro ui.
Maybe overtime more and more of windows 7 components will get removed and windows 8 will grow to be a completely new os-time will tell.
Im not a big fan of tiles either,maybe if they made those tiles more 3d or interactive/video tiles.To me they look like .bmp images made with paintbrush,lol-it is different i give them that.
Osx lion also headed in wrong direction-i stick with snow leopard for now.
I beg to differ a little. If you make a proper (following online instructions) bootable USB drive, it should boot. I've ran Ubuntu and leopard off of a flash drive on my MacBook. Did you know about the boot loader thing? When you first turn on the Mac, get the sound and white screen, you hold down the option key and it should appear. With vmware, you can configure how much or how little of available resources you give to the guest os. You say you don't like the performance hit when you run virtual machines. You don't run them all the time, just long enough to get the job done in the other OS. You then shut down the guest OS, then vmware, then you have all the resources back for osx. I did have windows problems recently until I remembered I had a vmware XP image sitting on a backup drive. Another alternative is getting a NetBook. Its good enough for flashing and other things that are less of a hassle on windows than Mac.
PS
I've watched the video on how to replace the optical drive on my MacBook. I think I could do it. A replacement (not official apple hardware) optical drive is around 150 for my mb. I've read that going through apple out of warranty to replace a superdrive is around 400 or so.
If you could get the optical drive replaced, you could maybe use boot camp to make the machine dual boot with a windows partition.

Yes you can boot osx and linux off usb but not windows on mac.You cant even boot windows dvd off external dvd drive.Yes when i installed snow leopard it booted fine off external dvd drive but not windows.Just google it.
Maybe u can install linux of external drive because it uses same boot method as osx but windows uses mbr.
And im not about to spend 100-150 dollars for imac internal dvd drive replacement-thats crazy talk,just for little more i can buy a blu ray burner.Replacing drive is easy part,i took my whole imac apart before.And you gotta take almost whole imac apart just to replace dvd drive or hard drive,lol.
Only thing thats good about macs is osx,lol.
I love macs and i bought my imac 2008 used for 400 bucks.But i would never buy one new because they are overpriced and video card cant be upgraded.
I googled for 2 days trying to install windows 7 of external dvd drive/usb stick and no it cant be done.And vmware have services running even when its off.
I like my system clean with minimal software installed,anything you install leaves a mark even after you delete it,plus installing vmware just to format sdcard doesnt sound right,lol.
Like I said, do you have an old phone laying around that could format the card for you? If not you could go to a phone store, find a display phone that is working and is easy to get at the sd card slot, pop in the card and format it. Done.
What i've been wanting to do for a long time now is run the windows mobile 6.5 and/or windows phone 7 emulator on my pc and then access it through a remote desktop connection. Maybe some sort of VNC? The way I want it set up is where I have 3 virtual desktops running on my pc all in 480x800. One would have the standard windows environment and the other two would be running the emulators in full screen. I need some advice on how to configure this and what the best phone-side and PC-side apps would be to use. Preferably open source or free. I'll bet there are more people in the community other than me that would like to do this.
