What tool to use for dev? - Windows Mobile Software Development

Hi Im a n00b looking to start making apps (I have a couple of ideas) and are woundering what is the simplest (or easiest) tool to choose for software dev for WiMo?

Depends if you want to program using Compact Net Framework or C++.
Have a look at these XDA-Wikis for further information:

Good luck.

[Q] Guide for developing

Hi, is anywhere guide for developing.. i want dev too but i dont know how
What you want to develop? Kernel? System? Both?
on which host (Win/Linux/Mac)?
i want to dev too
i want do dev both kernel and system on windows ... so any advices? and thank you in advance
(EX/OR)
i want to develop both but maybe ony system. because when i wil dev kernel, i will can brake my phone
and im on win exactly win7. but on Notebook i have linux.. so its Win or Lin
And im think it will be better with guide.. Later can be more developers and it is better because updates release frequently
It is possible to put together a build using windows, but for serious development work you will need a Linux system for compiling, building from an already developed base only requires a good text editor, ( not notepad), and 7zip really.
so i need only good text editor? and source data.. its all?
and what sam knowledge of C/+/++/# Java.. nothing?
C for kernel
java for system
linux for both
Develop on windows is quite painful and on mac there are some problem with libs.
The only good system for fast develop is linux. Use a virtual system and setup a simple virtual machine with linux.
Then follow the fresh froyo thread to compile the first time (a lot of time).
Hi Michga,
have you development knowledge in any environment?
Are you for the first time approaching software developing?
Obviously you need programming language knowledge if you want to develop software (every kind of software: applications, utilities, system tools, kernel and so on)
moreafter, if you mind developing operating system's module (kernel, drivers and so on) you need deep understanding of general operating systems mechanisms in addition to specific knowledge about the OS you are developing for.
If this is your first step in software developing, I can suggest you try little application first, then step to system programming...
As a software is made up of simple text, as Zenity said, what you need is AT LEAST a good text editor and this is correct if you plan to write or modify simple pieces of software but if you mind to develop something more, a software developing environment maybe a better choice.
More, have a look at http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html where you can find the SDK toolkit for Android.
Sorry not being more helpful: I'm a software developer but don't develop for Android yet... (Time... Time... Time... )
See you
thanks for answers.. i think it is all i need..thanks

[Q] How to complement till full toolchain?

Hello everybody!
I have FW4, VS2010 Ult, XNA Game Studio 4, ExpressionBlend 4. I want to start development for WP7 and found MS' toolchain (467Mb ISO!), but it's huge! (and no separate components is available). What else do I need to develop for WP7? Guessed I need phone emulator and some libraries/SDK, but cannot find appropriate packages. Can somebody help me, please?
Also, do I need unlocked image? What exactly is locked in emulator?
Thanks in advance.
The only basics you really need Visual Studio, and this download which is the Developer Tools Package, it contains all the files, the emulators, etc
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...cf-a63a-4f97-952c-8b51b34b00ce&displaylang=en
One thing you should certainly take a look at is the Silverlight for Windows Phone Toolkit, which you can get here:
http://silverlight.codeplex.com/releases/view/55034
It's stuff that really should be in the main SDK download, but it simply isn't.

[Q] Where should I go if I want to develop an app?

Can anyone direct me to a place?
If you are a noob you should look at the google app inventor, while if you are experienced in developing you can look at the android sdk tool.
can i follow with android.com
http://developer.android.com/ is a good place to start. I would also strongly suggest learning regular Java properly first, or at least get a basic understanding of it if you haven't already, as it will make developing for Android far easier.

[Q] How to become into a rom developer?

Hello guys,
I want to be useful for the community and learn some stuff of android programming.
Any of you have some recommended and specific information about this? I have some knowledge in other software such as matlab, and probably I will spend some time learning this new code of programming.
Thanks in advance
Three things to get you started:
1: Google (your new best friend)
2: Eclipse IDE (java development environment)
3: Android SDK (android dev kit)
Theres lots of resourses on learning JAVA programming language. Search and find one you like.
I could last days putting info here for you.. But this is what came up to my mind real quick so here you have it!
This should help you get familiar with things. Getting into the code and get familiar and you can start learning from there!

^Finally a worthy response. I have been asking this questioni for some time now.
Check out this link for themese etc... http://uot.dakra.lt/
I haven't had time to explore it. I came across the website when I was curious myself.

Custom roms compiling/development/porting

Hi there!
I would like to learn more about compiling/developing and maybe 'porting' roms.
I know there are a few threads out there that cover some of the basics, but I see most of them are quite old and I think they are outdated.
Can anyone link me some relevant information regarding:
-> Compiling a ROM?
-> Porting a ROM?
-> General information about the subject. (Video's, books, threads, guides ...)
I'd like to understand the general structure and how to break it down/understand the entire process. I also have the following question:
-> What's required to compile my own Lineage OS version for the Lenovo P2 for example?
-> What's required to port a ROM from one device to another. (I know similar specifications make it easier but I'd like to know whats the main difference and what to look for)
I have a healthy portion of knowledge regarding: C#, Java, Linux server management, Windows server management, bash, python and a few other languages. (I am a programmer)
Thanks in advance!
I hope there are some viable options out there.
