Let's pretend I'm new to windows mobile. (I am). Can anyone tell me HOW I get to these HKEY directories that everything is edited in. If anyone could give me a step-by-step instruction on how to install or modify anything at all in the phone, I would greatly appreciate it.
Please start the steps right after the 'Turn on phone' step, as I am fairly confident I have that under control. Every time I've asked this question on other forums I just get links to different forums with no helpful information below a certain level of expertise. I have never coded or done anything other than drag and drop folders, etc so a dumbed down version of how to start and I can learn from there. Anything! PLEASE!!! I hate having this amazing machine and not being able to utilize it.
oh, Touch Pro, sprint
First you need to install a registry editor. The two most used are PHM (free http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/) or Resco Explorer (paid http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/). I prefer Resco, but everyone has their own pref.
And installation, you fire it up and simply navigate it to your registry. Pretty straightforward.
I downloaded the free one but it isn't showing up in my phone. I navigated to its folder on my pc and everything seems to be zipped. when I unzip the file extensions are *.001 and I can't open or access them. am I doing something wrong ?
also, if anyone can explain to me how to install .net framework ?

i assume you need the new 3.5 .net compact framework.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3c6b-42f1-9fd9-0041345b3385&displaylang=en
You simply download and install the file on your computer (not your mobile device). This file will install the framework on your computer and will activate the add/remove programs on the sync center, so the next time you connect your touch pro it will ask to install the program. Then you just follow any instructions displayed on your touch pro for final installation and you're set to go!
here's on .Net http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=470
It has an extra app to choose a default .Net.
There's also a Tips and Tricks section and a walk through for TouchFlo3D at fuzemobility.com that you may want to try.
I can relate to this problem.

I have a Alltel HTC Touch Pro. The software that came with it does not work with Vista. I googled active sync for Vista, I got links to Windows Mobile Device Center. I installed that onto my desktop. It syncs my phone to my desktop, but only shows my device memory and the storage card. I have installed downloaded and installed net.frame. When I downloaded Advanced Config Tool and draged and drop (also copied & pasted) into the device memory and tried to click the cab. file it only shows that it will go to the c: drive on my desktop. I do not see anything showing for the windows on my device. Hopefully someone can post some useful infomation about this. Yes I did use search, that lead me here. There are lots of complete noobs. Before we can add useful information for others. ( like showing off the really cool function of these new phones we have to be able to use them ourselves. Thanks for any help.
Here's some tips that might help you:
When plugging your Touch Pro into your PC via USB, you should be prompted on the Touch Pro whether you want to connect as "ActiveSync" or "Disk Drive". You should click "ActiveSync" for installing applications.
If you are using your desktop PC and download an application for your Touch Pro, it will typically be .exe or .cab. The .exe files are intended to run on your desktop PC first, and will then trigger an installation to your Touch Pro through ActiveSync (Windows XP) or Windows Mobile Device Center (Windows Vista).
If the file is a .cab, it is intended to run on your Touch Pro directly and will install the program. To move a .cab to your Touch Pro, you use the explore feature in ActiveSync (or similar feature in Mobile Device Center), and drag and drop. (Alternatively, you can download .cab files directly onto your phone from the source website using the Opera web browser). Once the .cab is on your Touch Pro, you use the file explorer program on your phone to naviagte to the file and then execute it.
When you install programs onto your TouchPro, a dialogue appears on the phone to walk you through the installation. To save your phone's shared memory, you can install programs to your memory card. Unfortunately, some applications work best when installed onto the phone versus installing them onto the memory card.
Hope that helps
Thank you very much for your reply. I'll give this another try. I had the Alltel HTV Touch Flo awhile back and was running XP on the desktop. If I remember correctly, I saw my device in the tree layout with the software running XP. I gave the Touch Flo to a family member and got a BlackBerry Curve. Wanted to go back to a windows platform for the versitilty of programs. I know everything has a learning curve to it. With lots of reading and study, trial and error, and help from generous people here. Noobs like myself can get a lot more use and enjoyment from their devices. Each new version that comes out is getting faster, more powerful, and has more features. Others see these things that we have and want one. It would be helpful if we could help them to see all the possibilities that are there. The I Phone gets a lot of attention with commercials and has opened up for new apps being developed. There are as many, if not more apps for widows. We just have to learn to implement them with our device. I know I did not start this thread, but others can see the original posters title and understand their, and my question. Thanks again to the reply, and to anyone else who comes up with more help for the noobs.
Having a VERY weird problem with Eclipse and I cant work out for the life of me what is going on. Will be VERY appreciative if someone knows what the problem is here.
IF I create a new Android Project, it will save a folder with all the files to C:\users\silver\workspace
IF I create a android project from an existing source, the workspace folder does not contain the saved project folder.
Up until today there was no problem. Then for no reason as far as I can see, it went nuts on me.
Ive reinstalled and setup Eclipse. Ive even restored my PC to an earlier point to see if that would help.
If I cant work this out, its 2 weeks worth of work down the drain
Anyone got any ideas as to what the heck is going on?

Have you tried to import the specific project? I am sure the project which should be imported is an eclipse project. If yes you are able to IMPORT it instead of creating a new project from source. If not have you tried to cut the specific project from the workspace folder and then create a new project from existing source and choose the project esp. from your desktop and mark copy it to the workspace folder. (In some cases eclipse is not able to import/create a project if its in the workspace folder.)
If these things don't help. Update all the Android Specific Stuff. Update to newest ADT and SDK. And try it again.
If it won't work even after that i will need some more detailed information about your problem.
Good luck
Not sure why but it just went mental regarding anything I tried. Only way in the end was to copy and paste everything manually after creating the classes again
Back to square 1 at least well sort of...
I now have another problem lol.
I modified the SDK so I was able to use Internal API's, though I still have one error that I cant get rid off, which is...
"The import android.os.SystemProperties cannot be resolved"
Dont suppose you know how to modify the SDK to be able to use the whole source?

I've been searching to see if there is a way to use a clone of my phone as an android virtual device for eclipse, I've not found any answers..I'm beginning to think that it is not possible because I haven't found the "here's how to clone your phone as an AVD" thread anywhere..is this correct?
If that isn't possible, exactly how much if any modification can I make to the AVD to make it more like my phone (contacts, apps and settings etc), would I just find the AVD's files and replace them or are they packed in a zip/rar file or are they just resource files that are being called up that will change the behavior of every AVD that I create if I alter them?
Finally- what would you guys say the minimum system requirements for developing for ICS and compiling ROMs would be? Looking to get a new desktop, this 1.5ghz gateway notebook isn't going to cut it....
Thx!
(BTW..I've already started making apps..nothing useful but they worked, and I got them on my phone and functional...hopefully be able to contribute back to the community soon yay! )

Is there a reason as to why you didn't perform a search utilizing your favorite search engine with the key words 'no bootable device'?
Here is an example.
did you check, is there have OS installed before? or try create linux bootlable USB like slax or any tiny linux distribution. just for make sure your hard drive has OS installed.
If there's already an OS installed, then it's maybe the storage of the device failing.
