Is it possible yet to port or somehow run an Android app for PPC?
I'd love to be able to use Zombie, Run and my Touch Pro 2.
It's a free game currently under developement.
Here's a link to the open source project, and I've attached the program itself in a zip.
Thanks

nope. on Android you use the DalvikVM and program in java syntax, using the Android APIs.
games like these are so easily done on Android because google provides GPS, compass, maps, etc. APIs that are very easy to use.
IF you will see something like this for WM it would be much more work and had to be done from scratch.
Are there any similar games available for windows mobile?
What about this?

It´s very, very similar... Try it and report!

It's great, though it would be awesome if it would use internal GPS on phone/laptop
Edit:
I would love to see this on windows mobile, i can even donate some money to make effort worthy
So, no one to do this right for the money? Not only lacking of devs but they're lazy as hell too..

LOL... I think this could be possible, of course... but as far as I know there is nobody in the world trying to make a hardware specific emulator... but if, "if" there exist some emulator like that, somebody will need a very very powerfull computer to run it! There is a lot of electronic parts (very state of art kind of) to be emulated.
The WM5 or WM6 emulators are for software test purpose, and you can browse for microsoft visual studio and download a trial. Works great, and runs a lot of applications just like phones (even sync with ActiveSync), but not so fast as the "high end" ones.
thx
okay, thanks...
Just look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu8avvF9yrg&NR=1
They didn't spend much time on the layout because I've seen other iPhone applications that looks just as nice.
What library do they use (or simular) and is it available for WM?
I found these but hopefully there are more and more for UI:

Thx, i tried it immediately but it's slow. I started with VS2008 and used debug. Maybe thats the problem. Looks awesome, and for free
grrr....i hate .netcf...
google for fluid (it's on codeplex.com)
also for .net cf, but doesn't use opengl (if I'm correct)
there's no UI library for C/C++ right? So at least I hope WM 7 comes with an updated SDK....
Is that all there is?!
Now I understand why iPhone.....

yep sadly, tho that is alls supposed to change with wm7...
Touch Control Suite
http://www.mirabyte.com/en/products/windows-mobile/touch-controls-suite-for-netcf/information.html
Well finally something with a normal price. Will investigate this Thx.
At this moment Resco seams to be the best and "priciest". Maybe someone wants to sell there Resco library because they don't use it anymore. Send me a PM.
all these .NETCF frameworks seem to me so incredible incomplete. They offer 3-4 controls and thats it. The funniest is the SDK where you can buy single controls for like $30 each.

Yes, isn't it amazing. How the heck does ms expect me to develop for WM???
I can create the functionallity but it still doesn't look smart. On iPhone there are a lot of useless applications but they look smart.
How will this be in android? Why doesn't MS buy up Resco and release this nice UI for free. This will create a lot of new development.
Yea, I've said this countless times before. WM only needs a decent SDK or at least a nice UI library for VS2008 and some new APIs and it would by far be the best OS.
It wouldn't be hard for MS to do this.
You can make the current controls look and function like touch controls with overrides but its a pain. You can find some good howtos at http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/uiframework.
Hopefully we get better controls with Windows Mobile 7 and the next .net cf. I wonder if we will see it when Visual Studio 2010 is released a few months from now.

Silvermoon is only slow because you are running it inside emulator. Silvermoon is OpenGL control library, and since emulator doesn't support hardware acceleration, you are using software version of OpenGL rendering engine. Try running silvermoon demo on your phone directly (if you have one of the newer phones that support hardware graphic acceleration). It's actually the fastest library available (and one of the most complete).
If you want to target all phones, not only the once with newer chips and OpenGL hardware rendering, try Fluid. It's written by the same guy that wrote Silvermoon, and it's also very nice library with tones of available controls and a very good architecture (so if it's missing control you need, you can always add your own).
Other than those two, there isn't much available that is free/cheap/good on the market.

Thx, it also slow on my Omnia II but I think it's related to openGL. Will try Fluid. It just feels strange spending so much time on the UI and still looking bad.

This one looked ok, but I think it's dead too.

The reason it might be slow on Omnia II is because you might've copied libGLES_CM.dll to your phone with the rest of the application. libGLES_CM.dll is software renderer for OpenGL. So, again, no hardware acceleration. If you didn't, then it's most likely something wrong with OpenGL drivers on your Omnia.
Here's the video of how Silvermoon supposed to run with hardware acceleration working, I think it was made on Diamond 2.

For a beta product, Silvermoon is one hell of a library!
i always wanted to make my own software. thou i'm not an expert programmer but i do have a little background of it.
i have this compiler installed called visual studio 6.0 (i have attached a screenshot)
my question is, how can i use that to create applications for my windows mobile.?
do i need a library or SDK for that.? can you help were can i download it.?
i already tried searching but most results refers to the latest visual studio which i don't have. i know that my compiler is a bit old.
im planning to use visual basic. please help me.
Sorry, it's of no use. The minimum requirement is VS2003, but this could only target WM2003 WM2003SE.
VS2005/2008 improve on it, and can be made backwardly compatable. The only VB tool that MS provided gratis, was Embedded Tools 3.0,which is both VB and eVC++ 3.00.
This was originally released in 2002. I think MS have now pulled it from their download sites, but there are other sites hosting it on the web if you search for it.

thanks for the reply. it does enlighten me
if you're just about to begin developing I'd rather wait until the dev. SDKs for WP7 are becoming available. Everything you do now is subject to change, in case you want to develop for the newest OS.
if you still want to develop for WM 6.x then go ahead with VS 2005/08. Then on top of VS you also need to install a dev. SDK i.e. WM 6 Prof. SDK if you want to develop for touch screen devices.

again on top of that, you can install the SDK for 6.5
I guess now you're completely confused
Use Basic4ppc instead.
Really simple and powerful IDE

I guess this won't work on WP7 so better get off to (in your case) Visual Basic.

well im using wm6.5 and it worked fine
is there a thread here about basic4ppc.? i have problem getting around some command, like fullscreen and IF.

Not if ur looking for an upgrade from the tp2...to the op I agree & I made thread asking the same awhile back here. Luckily not everyone has turned into a iphone clone drone so maybe it will get "ported" or wp8 fills the wm gaps far as everybody needs.
well,
actualy I want to downdrage WP7 phone with KEYBOARD...just like having TP2 with 1Ghz and 512 RAM adn WM6.5...would be nicer I guess...
Honestly dude, I wouldn't want to go back to 6.5. Just try android if you don't want WP7.

This. Go with android if you want to feel at home with 6.5 again.
6.5 ouuww
Well then Android is a better solution
hmm,
android is a solution, BUT..you can't run GARMIN XT on it...you can only use google map and it uses internet connection all the time for navigation..

There are plenty of GPS options available for Android that do not use data.
I have handhelds at work that run Windows 6.5 mobile embedded. eSOMS from ventyx is what we use. I would like to 1. have better hardware meaning faster CPU and bigger screen. 2. Android functionality for additional things like google glasses etc. 3. some kind of reader program to be able to have procedures etc.
Is there ANY way to do something like this. I have been searching on here and google searching and have come up with bumpkiss.
I can't believe with the money we spend on tech we are stuck with these pieces of garbage.
I believe an emulator that runs on android will do everything I want but don't see any.
Not one reply? Someone must know how to do this...
