A thought: Use the new Device Emulator to copy WM2005 Code? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

has anyone checked out the new Microsoft Device Emulator?
it emulates Windows Mobile images as ARM on your PC, unlike the other emulators (VS Studio 2003) that is X86 Emulation.
anyhooz, the windows mobile 2005 build has a working sim manager and is 14343 (version for xda II is 14340).
you can connect to the emulated device through activesync and then copy windows files perhaps? and then copy them onto your XDA II??
heres some info from the site:
The Microsoft Device Emulator 1.0 Community Preview is a standalone version of the same ARM based Device Emulator that ships as part of Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2. The standalone emulator is intended for situations when you want to demonstrate or test your application on a computer that does not have Visual Studio 2005 installed. The emulator ships with support for Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition.
The new Device Emulator has a number of features that make it significantly better than its predecessor. You will find that it:
Runs code compiled for ARM processors rather than for x86 processors. In most cases, you can run the same binaries on the emulator as you do on the device.
Supports synchronizing with ActiveSync. You can use the Device Emulator with a full ActiveSync partnership. This feature allows you to debug applications that are syncing, or be able to use real synchronized data from within the Device Emulator.
Provides support for more development environments. The emulator has been tested for developing and debugging applications with Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio .NET 2003, and with eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 (eVC4) SP4, all using ActiveSync. No crossover serial cable is required.
The Device Emulator supports GAPI. You can write and debug GAPI games on the Device Emulator and expect them to work.
The Device Emulator is a pre-release Community Preview. The software is not suitable for use in any critical operating environment. It is not supported by Microsoft Product Support Services.

Crazy Idea - WM2003 SE

If you download the PocketPC SDK, you can also get the WM2003 SE emulator. With this, you can pretty much have a play with the new OS update. I wonder if it is possible to extract the ROM from the emulator and use it on our XDA II.
What do you reckon? Anyone up for the challenge

you won't run any extracted X86 suff on an ARM machine.
yes it's the same with visual embedded c++ the code need to be compiled for x86 to run in the emulator and as arm if you use the pda device to run the code on so the emulators only emulate the interface platform not the hardware itself
I downloaded the emulator but there is no exe file... how to start the emulator?
These files are incl. but no .exe!
PPC_2003_SE.xml
PPC_2003_SE_WWE.bin
Pocket_PC_Emulator_Down.bmp
Pocket_PC_Emulator_Mask.bmp
Pocket_PC_Emulator_Up.bmp
I have the also Pocket PC 2003 SDK, these is not much than a DOS promt in the SDK :lol:
I have also Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 but I can't use that either
Please help... I wanna try the emulator
the way I use the emulator is by creating a Smart Device Application project in Visual Studio .NET (2003) and then when I run the app, you get prompted on where you it deployed. You can then select the WM2003 emulator. there is even the VGA emulator on the list.

[Q] Android general questions

I'm new to Android and have a few question that didn't get answered by Google it. I have bought my first Android phone (SGS2 of course, after years of being a Symbian fanboy), but have not received it yet.
1. Does everything run on top of Dalvik JVM? At the bottom is the Linux kernel. Then there is a Linux process which runs Dalvik VM. Could for instance Sun's JVM run on a Linux process of its own or another Linux application?
2. Can C/C++ Linux program run on Android? Though compiled for ARM. Android has NDK (Native Development Kit) which allows it to run C/C++ applications inside Android applications, but I'm wondering about running C/C++ applications directly on Android. BusyBox is coded in C, but runs on Android. Is it running directly on the kernel's linux process or within an Android application on Dalvik?
3. The latter(Q2) would indicate that not everything run on top of Dalvik. Otherwise C/C++ programs would not run.
4. Android uses ADB (Android Debug Bridge) for its CLI magic. BusyBox uses Ash. Can one install bash as the default shell, with full GNU Core Utilities commands? Some forum posts indicate that it is possible to install an ARM re-compiled bash version.
5. Android can be rooted by installing applications like Super User or BusyBox that would let the user execute applications as root. That would indicate that there exist a root user, in addition to the actual user. Is this similar to how it is on Linux? Can I define a password for the root user so that no applications can run root directly?
6. Are all user data stored in the database SQLite? User data is accessible through different applications, but how does Android determine access rights to it?
7. I have read that Android applications run on their own Linux process and are assigned a unique user ID. Does this mean that we can run ps to see all running processes or does it act like the Sun JVM just showing each VM process? However looks like different applications can run in the same process. Can these be distinguished or do we just the the once process.
8, Is the camera application (that some have made modifications of) a Google app or Samsung app? Just wondering since the former would allow such modified versions to run on other than Samsung phones, but given that different phones have different camera specs I don't see how this could go well.
9. Can the codes typed in the dialer be executed through a shell instead (adb)?
There are some apps that run direct c++ code. The stock gallery app for example is written in c++. So not everything uses that dalvik virtual machine. I don't know enough to answer all your questions though.
Not many replies. That is disappointing.
Perhaps I could move this thread to another forum here on XDA? Or perhaps another forum.
In the meantime I'll try some more Google search on the subjects...

[Q] Need help to setup Android Enviorment

Hi ,
I am Java programmer and want to learn Android development. I have two laptops one is core-2-due with 2 gb ram with windox xp and other is cori-i7 4gb with windos7.
I downloaded the ADT bundle (Android SDK + ecliplse) from developer.android.com. On xp laptop it did not work although I installed java jdk and sent the JAVA_HOME in evn. variable but when I create first app and run it, nothing happen. I think either my laptop is very slow so it is unable to run it. But when I run the bundle on core-i7, the simulator is on but I dont see my application on it.
My first concert is how should I setup the Android development env. so that it is as faster as possible like should I set it individually eclipse then sdk manually and the plug in and manually configuration or bundle is fine and does not effect on speed of computer?
2) I have HTC desire phone and google nexus tablet, should I connect it to my pc to use as testing my application, would it be faster or computer simulator is faster.
Please guide me the stepts to set up android enviroment which runs fast on low configuration and old laptop/pc.
Thanks.

Question about ADB Platform Tools & Visual Studio Requirements

So I've been trying to get ADB up and running properly so I can modify some aspects of the Android OS to fix the phone's Wi-fi Hotspot feature. Android OS is version Oreo 8.1, and Windows is Win 7 x64. Already had Dev Mode enabled on the phone with USB Debugging.
When I downloaded the Android platform tools and tried to execute the ADB via command line, I get an error message [I had a link to an image showing it, but due to me being a new account it won't let me post it, but basically it's an error message that appears when you try to launch an app on Windows without having the VS 2015 or newer redistributable files installed which have the Win10 compatibility files necessary for it to run] which means I don't have either the 2015 or later version of the VS Redistributable installed. Unfortunately due to this Windows installation's MS Package Updater being borked, I can't really install those either to fix this (thanks MS) without doing a bunch of **** I don't want to risk at the moment.
So the question is, does anybody know of an older version of the SDK Platform Tools that only require VS 2013, and if it would be compatible with Android 8.1? Thanks.
Gonna give this a quick bump but I'm basically just asking if anybody knows where one could get an older build of the SDK Platform Tools (command line tools only, not the full package) that only requires VS 2013 to be installed to run.

Thread has been updated to include Google Drive or Mega links to download the tool.
Mod Edit: Quote removed since post removed.
The link to your Dev build keeps throwing a forbidden error. So might wanna fix that..
EDIT *IRRELEVANT*
it was not in the download from Mega or Google.. I'm not this much of a stickler to most, because i already have WSA rockin on W11, but I just figured i'd give your method a try because your title honesatly was appealing and I had nothing bette rto do.. because I watched your video and saw the dev image was in your WIN11ROOT folder, but wasn't the case on either download for me.

Gee, that got fixed quickly I guess I have no choice but to delete the links, For now! Muahahahaha!! Note to users, The Developer ISO is in WIN11R00T, It is just the DIRECT download link that is down, for those who don't wan't to download my toolset. While I'm at it, if you dl my toolset, the adb.exe shortcut will not work, you need to delete it, go into powershell, 7, then hit ctrl f to find pwsh, copy and paste that short cut to the original folder using cmd Will Not Work to activate power shell 7

Can I ask you, do you know how that's possible? Is it user error on my part or was it removed after the fact? I'm going to try to reupload it with a different name, just the dev ISO. THANK YOU for telling me.

I'm a little confused about what the intent here. Is this guide intended to help people set up their Windows 11 PC as a ADB platform for their phone? Or is this focused on gaining root access in the WIndows 11 Android subsystem so as to run Android apps with root?

It's about helping beginners interested in learning systems like android and windows understand better where to get started. From beginning to end. *Teaching!* Some folks interested in this are very young and do not have the ability to comprehend a lot of the technical jargon that you find on some of these more advanced concept threads.
I'm am teaching folks, as I learn, how I see things, pitfalls and all, so we have more people in the world learning these things and more people to talk to about Creating The Future.
Yes it helps them get setup with adb without having to dl the toolset off google sdk site, its the full latest sdk from google.
I also included powershell 7 so you don't have to DL that too.
In the past I probably would have not installed visual studio, as I didn't understand that their jargon of "features" is akin to "dependencies" like framework, hypervisor, etc.... Which is a huge mistake!

Okay Friends A bare Bones VM running Ghost Spectre's interpretation of what Win 11 should be is uploading now! I'm stuck at work for a few more hours, but when I get home I will make a video to guide you all through programming our new toy!
Now, as this is a class and a learning environment, you will be left with a problem We will get Kali Linux setup and working in our Windows 11 Virtual Machine, We will Install the Android Subsystem through ghost's toolbox, since it's easier.
We will get all our features and dependencies unlocked, and then you will be presented with the problem... Some solutions.... And well just an opportunity to THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.
The android subsystem is giving me trouble in the VM. Maybe it will you, too.
Can You solve the problem?
Also I want you to think about this question:
What do we want windows to be? More so what do we want computing to be, to Do?
