Would this be possible? It's open source: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode
(I know it's possible, but is anyone willing to port it to rt?)
I'd be willing to help, just not do it all.

To my knowledge Chromium has not yet been ported to run Windows RT - that would be the #1 obstacle in making this happen.

Hi all,
I don't know if this is the right place to post or not, but what IDEs do you guys use to develop software for windows mobile 6? I'm using Visual Studio 2010 beta because I don't want to pay for VS, but it doesn't like the WM6 SDK. I found that SharpDevelop3 works just fine if you write compact framework apps, but I can't find the info to write apps that use the radio/gps/g-sensor etc.
Are there any developers out there that could point me in the right direction? I'm willing to help out if you have a project you are getting stuck with. I've been working mainly with Basic and C#, but I'd like to expand.
VS2008. The radio/gps/g-sensor stuff isn't included in the .NET framework, so you'll need to find external libraries for working with them.
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?

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.

Hi, WinUAE is Amiga emulator developed with Visual Studio. Source code is quite complex, porting it requires skills that I don't have. So I ask if anyone with advanced c++ knowledge could port it to Windows RT? It would be great addition to current app library.

Hey guys.
Ive been in the forum for a while but finally registered to ask a quick question.
Ive been searching for a while and haven't found anything regarding a Windows RT UX theme patcher. Yes I have searched everywhere but still can't find it.
My question is, does it exist? If not would it be difficult to patch them manually?
I love my Surface RT, but the non-customization of the thing is killing me. Is it also possible to change the icons on Windows in RT? Sort of like a skin-pack thing.
Anyones help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks! :laugh:
You can always replace icons in registry. HKCR is here from Win95 if not longer. They may exists .net 4.x based app to do that - this should run on jailbroken RT.
Uxtheme? I don't think so it exists. Even if it's possible, then only on jailbroken device.

Yeah my Surface is already jailbroken. Do you know if it's a easy job to do it manually? (Patch UX)
The stock Windows themes are literally death for me.
How do you usually find out if an app is .net 4.X based? I know theres a list here on the forums, but do you have to download and try every app you want?
Off-topic, but how are you typing then? Shouldn't you be cremated or something by now?
Hyperbole weakens your argument, and misuse of the language will just annoy people.
I have a RCA android tablet. I have been doing some research and found that windows RT will work on ARM based tablets. However I cannot find a download or any information on how to load RT on my tablet. The only think I can find is Windows RT 8.1 ADK kit. Now according to the software the kit is suppose to be for deploying windows OS on any ARM based tablets, but as far as I can tell there is no GUI and I only took electronical engineering at ITT tech, I don't know **** about programing or code. So what I am asking is, is there a download available that you can download onto your desktop, connect a tablet and load windows RT. Also, has anyone seen this changemysoftware.com **** on you tube that claims to change your OS for you in like 15 minutes? Tried to download and all I get is some bull about the version I have is old and I need to download a new version but the mirror sites to download the app just keep you running in circles until you give up or spend all kinds of money. Sorry, had to vent a little there. Anyway, don't really care for android os and don't want to have to go out and buy a tablet with windows pre installed.

Though I am not familiar with Windows RT and its architecture, for your question, all I can say is, just like people build android os from source by using its sources (AOSP and it's derivatives), IMO, you need to do a similar task to make Windows RT only for your device. The os for mobiles are device-specific type. And maybe the same trees- Device Trees, Vendor Trees and Kernel sources (which OEM provides) is used in Windows RT also.
P.S. I can bet my life that Android (or more precisely Linux) is more cooler than Windows!

Thank you for your response, however this really doesn't answer my question. I there a download somewhere for windows rt and how do you load it onto a tablet with arm processor? And as far as my phones are concerned I love android, but for a computer I like to browse actual websites not mobile ones and if I need to create a document I prefer office and all the functionality that I already know how to use.
