Hello XDA forum members,
How are you.
I am new to Win CE development and looking to develop application using C languages using Visual Studio 2005/2008 on Win 7(64 Bit) machine.
I don't have the real handset device on which the application can be tested upon, so is there any possibility of Emulator to check our application developed.
Please let me know the process, tutorials and tools.
thanks in advance.
Raj

Hi Mich-C,
I'm still interested. What tools are needed to start building ? I have C knowledge. Just don't know the specific tools for CE 6.0 development.
Thanks.

Ok.
That's what I've learned by myself:
---Programming Language:
You need to learn an object oriented language.
You can use Visual Basic .NET or C#.
I advice you C# (I developed some WinMo apps with this language)
If you have experience with C only, is better to understand the foundamentals of O.O. languages uppermost.
---Development Environment
You could use IDEs provided by Microsoft but they're quite heavy and I don't reccomend them to start.
Intead, I advice you the Sharp Develop IDE, it's light, free and open source.
---Emulators (part1)
You can download from the official Microsoft website many Windows Mobile emulators. They're released as .msi file so you can install them with just a few clicks, like any other .exe installation file.
I advice you the Windows Mobile 6.1 or 6.5 Professional emulator.
---Emulators (part2)
Windows Mobile comes with the .net compact framework 2.0 runtime preinstalled. If you want to code and run any app you need to download here the .net compact framework 3.5. Then you can install that .cab on your emulator
---Emulators (part3)
Don't test your apps on real hardware.
PDAs and PPCs are quite slow but most of all they're at least 10 years old and they have very limited storage.
The more you'll write on memory, the more you'll slow down your device.
And unlike modern smartphone that has large storage and the new trim technology, the difference with PPCs is noticeable.
I'm curious to see your apps!!
Let me know if you have any question.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge @Mich-C appreciated. SharpDevelop looks almost like old Virtual Studio. I like that
AFAIK only version 3.2 is able to build for net framework compact 3.5
I got the .Net CF 3.5 Power Toys and Windows Mobile 6 Professional + Standard SDK Refresh already.
Just framework 3.5 SDK is hard to find. Microsoft removed these older SDKs from their web. Can you provide me a link?
Hi @Traace.
This page explains everything : https://github.com/icsharpcode/SharpDevelop/wiki/Compact-Framework-Development
You can still download .net cf 3.5 SDK, It's a web installer

Thanks. Great guide on GitHub. Impressive.
But the links for 3.5 SDK are down. They lead to -> Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Runtime files.
2.0 is still up tho.

Go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21 open "Install Instruction" and click on the last link ".NET Framework 3.5 full package". I think that shoul be sdk

Hi,
I've just stumbled across this project and hence discovered that I have the option to use software other than the official HTC-release ROMs.
I have an unlocked X7500 which I had previously been using with the original HTC image (WM5). I upgraded to their new WM6 image which of course meant that I had to re-install all my customisations so I decided to take the opportunity to investigate the various custom ROMs.
I am now running PK's Project Black v2.0.
What I'm struggling with is trying to work out what additional upgrades I can/should apply to this image. For example, the various Radio ROM upgrades - are they required with PK's PB 2.0?
Is there a definitive list that describes what software is available for WM6 images, especially PB 2.0?
One specific question I have is: should I install all the add-ons from the PK 2.0 Add-ons bundle? Also, how do I install those cab files?
Any clarification would be much appreciated to someone new to this area.
Thanks,
R.

The newest Radio Rom is already included in Black Touch 2.

There are tons of programs available for WM6,
I think there is no list of all those,
just like there is no list for all WinXP programs out there.
The additional sw for BlackTouch2 can be found in the ADDONS Cab.

It's up to you.
If you want Acobat, intall it.
If you like TCPMP, install it.
To install, copy the cab files to you device,
and open them with a file explorer (on your device)
You can delete the cab files after installation.
PS: You don't have to think about which ROM to choose,
you already have the best out there

I think what I was meaning was more along the lines of "what are all the programs in the add-on rarball?". Obviously, I know what Acrobat is (!) but what's RealVGA? And something like "WM5_PPC_HTC_Opera865_2211_generic.cab" - Opera, from WM5? Why would I want/need that on WM6? You understand what I'm asking?

Thanks. I'm still relatively new to my X7500 and am still getting to grips with it.

Read the RealVGA thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327830 The Athena doesn't run at full V+GA resolution RealVGA lets you change the res so you can see more on scree, being an old git I use the middle of the 3 resolutions available using RealVGA.
The Opera cab is the latest version of Opera - I believe teh WM5 prefix was put on by Opera - but it is the latest version for WM6 as well
Can't remember what else is in there at the mo - don't have it with me but if you ask I'm sure someone will answer. All the progs are the latest and best of breed for WM6 and if you want them, install them.

***sorry if double post***
Buddy you are a little late. I already downloaded it the day it was released, and not only that, i with the help of people at ppcgeeks cracked open the qvga emulator image and made an RTM version official rom from it, the build is 21234. The build is stable althought the 21812 is faster than this build.
krazy u remember once u cooked a 6.5 rom known as VANILLA MANILA EXTREME 6.5 which was based on the beta release of 6.5 which included the touch flo 2d and the 6.5 standard scrolling and similar features of vanillamanila 6.1 but due to many bugs u stopped working on it
CAN U PLEASE START WORKING ON IT AGAIN.... i AM STILL USING THAT ROM as it was FULLY LOADED
and please add new packages in it
PLEASE ITS A REQUEST
or YOU try to make a fully loaded rom containing the dialer skins,the camera album,the KEYBOARDs,etc etc....anything more that u lyk but applications using GPRS are useless for me
i can give u the nbh file of that OS if u want
thanks

Hey my friend, you late 2 weeks...
Thanks.
i come to know today that this is not SDK
see this link for more information http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2009/06/04/sdk-dtk-drk-wtf.aspx
Ya, you are right buddy, its a DTK (Developer Toolkit). Actually the codebase of Windows Mobile 6.5 is not different as far as Base System Services are concerned. Most of the changes are on the upper layers related to UI and its management. So it is feature compatible with Windows Mobile 6. That is the reason Windows Mobile 6 SDK can support development of WM 6.5 with just the addition of DTK. As far as i know the only new API available in the 6.5 DTK is Gesture API which can be used for recognizing flicks and other finger gestures in our software.
can u do one thing export registry HLM\System\Loader from this SKD/TDK
and upload it here
i need it for study
Yup sure, will do that in a while.
Here it is. Be aware that it may also contains some emulator specific files. Try to compare the reg file first with your current on. If you find anything interesting, please also post in you Windows Phone 6.5 Development thread.

I'm trying to cook a rom (Windows Mobile 5.5 Professional on my HTC Mega) with NET 3.5 framework pre installed using osKitchen. The rom is generated correctly, but the framework is not integrated... There is someone who has integrated it in a rom whith success? I also tried searching the forum but have not found anything about it... I need to cook a clean rom with the framework in order to run Remote Tracker after an hard reset...

You can ask this also in the chef central forums.
NetCF3.5
Try This. Unrar this folder and put him in
osKitchen Zero v1.33.5\sources\Windows Mobile Builds\2xxxx\common
then build. Working for me. Good Luck.

No, it`s not posible, because Symbian it`s not designed for work on android devices harware.
Also you can try a theme for ADW launcher, from google play store.
apk to java
and how is it possible to run the play in google blackberry 10?
there is a apk to java tool but I do not know how to use! extracting the code, which program I use to rebuild the application in java.
