Let me preface by saying I am very new at WM... I have the Verizon Touch Pro and had been having problems loading CABs that required the current version of Microsoft .NET framework... Verizon (and I believer the Sprint) Touch Pro ships with .Net 2.0 ... the current it .NET Compact Framework 3.5.
I found the following article and installed the framework on the Stock ROM with the configuration tool, and everything works great (so far!).

note: I know the article is for the Tilt, but the info still applies for the Raphael. I'd be interested to hear others' experiences. Thanks!
yes, it is known it can be updated... everything will work

Just wonder where I can download free Java VM
into my Xda/Qtek on pocket pc2002?
Or is there a website where I could have trial
before buying? Thank You. :?
AFAIK there is no free JVM for the XDA/PPC2002...
The Personal Java implementation of Insignia/Esmertec is one that is widely used (IPAQ etc.) and is available for about $/E 50 at Handango.
More modern versions, supporting the CLDC and MIDP2.0 profiles (gaming api's...) are difficult to find. Esmertec has announced their JVM but does not seem to be available yet, and the one from Kada Systems will be released in about a week. Kada does have 30 day evalation versions (you must register...). Their current implementation however (MIDP 1.0) is far from stable
An alternative could be the WebSphere Micro Environment for Pocket PC 2002 - CLDC / MIDP by IBM, available at Handango for $6, which I never tried...
If you can find a free one, let me know !
Marco.
There are at least two free ones:
http://www.superwaba.com.br/
http://www.ewesoft.com/
I have taken a look at these and must say that YES they have something to do with Java, but if you are looking for a VM (like I am) which does support the latest standards (J2ME, CLDC/CDC and MIDP 2.0) which make it possible that your JAVA MIDlets run on PDA's and Smartphones (like Nokia or SPV) they seem useless since both EWE and WABA use their own set of libraries and deployment.
For example. on the EWE site:
"So Ewe is just another Java VM implementation?
No, the Ewe VM is not a Java VM since it does not implement a very small number of Java features, nor does it use any of the "standard" Java libraries and API. Ewe has its own set of utility, network, zip, gui and other packages."
Meaning if you want to run Java games of some kind which use the "standard" Java libraries and API, these VM's really seem useless

I am aware that "HD2 ROM Development" is probably not the best place to post compatibility issues with WM6.5, however, since there is no WM6.1 ROM for the HD2, I hope that this concerns other folks too.
I have several for me quite usefull applications which worked very well on many devices up to WM6.1 Build 21054, which I guess is one of the last WM6.1 builds. These applications show now varous glitches under WM6.5, particularly with item and date selection. I have tried numerous ROMs of the 218xx and the 235xx builds from various cooks on several devices, my preference are the Energy Series Roms by NRGZ28 though. Some of my applications with compatibility issues are:
Agenda Fusion 8.70 Calendar Software
http://www.developerone.com/agendafusion/index.htm
True Term - Dictionary Software
http://www.trueterm.com/DL-WindowsCE.html
practically all Visual Basic Software
I upload an example of a nice Periodic Table. The required runtime library is here:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/6/7/e67b873f-7d9f-4ee0-9fde-364218fcfa95/msvbppc.armv4.cab
Is there any hope that more modern builds will be compatible with older software again?
Hi guys,
I've read that Myriad Alien Dalvik will allow to run Android apps on non android devices.
Check this video on a Nokia.
It will be an dream for me to be able to run updated android apps on my beloved HTC HD.
Does someone knows if this will be available for WM HTC devices?
+1
Seriously, HD2 on WM6.5 with android apps. Perfect! Fingers crossed.
Hello!
I want to start developing apps for WM, but im stuck with a question in my mind.
My first app i did it in VS 2005 and now im trying VS 2008. Also i have some HTML skills and I want to know what other software is used to create WM apps, other then VB & VS.
I would like to know a few(free if possible ).
Thanx!

If you want to make some games, game editor is excellent for that. Iam making a cut the rope for windows mobile with it , I will let you know when its released. There are some limitations , but its free to use and simple to learn. The games in the website in my signature where made with game editor , go check them out.
You may struggle a bit here. All versions of Windows Mobile are running a version of Windows CE .NET, the vast majority of them on an ARM powered device.
Most of the operating system will have been written in Win32 C/C++ with a few touches of ARM assembly thrown in for device drivers, CE components etc.
ATL and MFC are both C++ class wrappers for the underlying Win32 stuff.
The .NET CF is the Mobile Version of the .NET Framework and again is a wholly Microsoft set up. (VS 2003 onwards)
Mono is a GNU linux .NET alike product and can be used to create CF exectables. It's free, but there are a few caveats. The first one being the fact that WinMo will refuse to run exe files created by Mono until you patch its compiled key. There is no real test or debug environment. It will be code, compile, patch, copy, run and crash ad nauseum, until it works! Also the QTK graphics objects, have not been ported over to WinMo.
The only 'free' MS offering is Embedded C++ 4.0, but it is C++ Win32/MFC/ATL only and takes a lot of hard work to master, and it was only really meant for development for WinMo 2003, although correct design of an application will allow it to run on later versions and appear like a MinMo 5/6 program.
Use of GPS may scupper your efforts, you will need VS 2005 or later.
To sum up, it's a minefield.
If Android was Written in C# Over Java
what was the benefits would it much faster ? could it have taken over iOS
would love to see you guys debate

Afaik you need a .NET environment to run C#. I'm not a Linux expert, so maybe my statement isn't correct: I know that Linux's mono framework also supports C# code, bu tI can't say whethere there's such a framework for Android. Neither do I know whether such a framework wouldn't slow down everything just by itself.
It would be
As it turns out, the guys of Xamarin created an C# ported clone called "XobotOS".
I played a lot with the thought of compiling/patching it (it has been based on Android 2.3), but the definite downside would be, that no Apps whatsoever could be installed if not compiled.
As long as I do not have the time to investigate, whether it is possible to decompile apks and rearrange them with .NET IL code, this is no option for me.
Why would it be faster? Obviously the VM is a lot more mature than the Dalvik VM.
Google confirms that.
