desktop program on windows mobile ? - General Topics

Hello,
I might sound naive but would it be able to run a desktop simple application (such as a dictionnary in my case) on my windows mobile device ?
Thank you in advance for any tip

No.
Different OS and different processor architecture mean your WM device wouldn't have a clue as to what to do with this app.
There DOS emulators that can run old apps with varying degree of success bu nothing for windows as far as I know.

As it's been pointed out, it's pretty futile to try to emulate anything. Use a remote controller application - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288506 for more info
EDIT: I've just noticed you've already read the article

There is a DOS emulator for ppc though.

BTW, there are a lot of dictionaries for the Pocket PC, including even Japanese. Did you read my related articles?

No, I looked around, but could not find your article. I would be glad to have the link.
I also found out that roadlingua dictionary shell (http://www.absoluteword.com/roadlng/) might be a solution, as I can create my own data base. I might be able to tune the one that is working on my desktop and implement it on this shell (french<>japanese). I will give it a try this w.e.
I also found these dictionaries for Japanese<>English (most of them freeware)
・EBPocket
・WordNet 2.0 - Dictionary & Thesaurus
・EDICT V05-003

command line registry export tool

is there a tool that can export a registry branch via command line?
already search google and this forum but came up with nothing.
when my device hard resets on its own i always loose my application settings and scores in games like astraware. they keep this informations in registry.
if this tool exists, i can just schedule a daily exporting of some branches from my registry to my storage card and import them again later.
Exist an excelent way with NS tools from SKTools http://www.s-k-tools.com/ about registry

you mean the nScriptm tool?
ill check it out. looks like it is capable. let you know later...thanks.
amazing little tool. packed with powerful features. (equivalent of the almighty PowerPro for windows http://www.ppro.org. )
it's almost perfect except that it doesn't support unicode. some apps are using unicode entries in the registry.
nice find though. i'll surely find many uses for this.
Here an exemple of my use that inscribe in larger need
View with NScript help what are the commande that i used
looks like you did overcome the unicode limitation using a workaround. thanks! i'll have a look at your script.
btw, i can't understand the comments. what language is it? i'll try to run in through a translator.
It's french, sorry it was for my use
thanks. you're the best!

difference between smartphone and PPC software tat i don understand..

Can a PPC software use in a Window mobile based smartphones?
are they functioning like in the PPC?
Can the *.cab file used for PPC use in smartphones?
I was just about to answer you, but then I go to the last line of your message.
We do not deal with WAREZ and craks here.
and
sthg about software tat i don understand..

is something that I don't understand
ok, prehaps i shouldn't ask it tat way... actually the main thg is i just wanna know if there is any possiblity tat we can use PPC softwares on Window mobile based smartphone?
That would depend on the software and the device.
Some will run, some you won't be able to use without touch screen and some will need extra components.
you can try...it's all winCE...
I know some of my old smartphone software works o.k. on my PPC, but PPC is like smartphone's bigger brother: with extras (touchscreen, others, etc.)
The screen is broke on my smartphone now but I seem to remember installing some stuff meant for PPC on there back in the day with varying results. I think some did work, but not a lot worked nicely.
AFAIK you need to port, change a few things (like have no touchscreen input) for a reliable result.
it being winCE is not always enough
binary files are spc for the cpu they were compiled for
but if they have the same cpu and the same libs
it would work
another matter is .net and java they are not written for a spc cpu but for the framework

Excellent article. Note that, however, it states all PPC apps run on a Smartphone w/ SPHelper ("Does this mean that they will run the same software? / Yes and no. All Windows Mobile devices (Smartphone, PPC, PPC phone edition, etc) can run the same actual executable code (.exe files) as long as it has been written for a Windows Mobile device. However if you actually try to install PPC software on a Smartphone (or vice versa) using Activesync, you might get an error message stating the device is incorrect and it will refuse to do anything."). This is, however, not really the case. See my related articles and hacking reports - in the articles I've posted in the last 2 weeks, I've posted a LOT of info on interoperability issues.
As a rule of thumb, about 10% of native (NON-Compact Framework-based) PPC programs can be hacked to work on a QVGA Smartphone. On a 176*220 one, even fewer.

Make sure you don't miss ANY of my articles. They are ALL in this very "General" forum.
I've published a LOT of information on these subjects, listing all the compatible software and how they can be hacked.
there should be a special forum for them since there are soo many they cant be sticky
some might get pushed far back

Yup, that's a problem.
I'll some time collect the links and put them all in the Wiki so that they are easy to find.

Keyboard evolution

Guys it's just me or it is a fact that the progress of windows mobile is really slow?
I mean there are several versions of windows mobile, 6.0 got our before 5.0 was even running well enough (not to mention several bugs in 5.0 that were barely fixed) and I wonder: wouldn't it be better to stick to an OS version for a longer period of time and make it run really good?
I won't go into a debate mac vs pc or anything of this kind, but isn't the standard windows mobile interface a bit boring? I like the iPhone for the innovative interface and design only, or another model I've seen m8 from meizu.
Something should change, not just a fancy gradient in the titlebar and the menubar!!!!!
I have a problem with the keyboards too. The MS sip is the same since 2002 pocket pcs!!! And that is really a lot of time of using the same cra.ppy system, and forgive me for overreacting but I think entering texts is a main concern, we all use these devices mainly as communicators or for various information storage that needs to be edited, moved from a location to another an all these actions require user input...
I know there are lots of experienced users on this forum, so this is a call to all of them , I need their suggestions in what would be the best choice for a text-input software for Pocket PCs?
I was using the SPB keyboard for about 2 years now I really like it, it's just that it covers all my text (yeah, I know it's fulscreen ), and I would like to try some similar variants: concern #1 : it must have big keys or it's useless to me.
Thanks for your time, everyone!
I'm using ZTA4 SIP, it's mainly for Chinese input but also can be used for English typing.
Cheers,
Vibranze
thanks, any link for that?

Try the skinnable Resco keyboard, several options available. See screenshot and download link below.

Instead of choosing the unknown chinese character, you can choose Abc so you will be able to type in English.

Vibranze thanks for the efforts but the ZTA4 SIP DOESN'T WORK ON MY DEVICE.
I have attached a screenshot, it loads, but it is unusable. Still it seems to have pretty small keys, but I'm not sure as it doesn't load properly, what could I do?

Hi,
Attached is the screenshot taken from my device. Altough it's a bit small but if you use stylus it's far far better than the normal keyboard, and some more it's also support keypad typing

Much Improved Opera Mini

Hello again Kaiser Funsters, I've done a quick sweep of XDA-Dev and strangely I cant find a thread about this yet, however I have found a group that is offereing the much improved opera Mini experience via a russian mod.
except they've ported it into English!!
they haven't ported the new 206 version yet but you'll be impressed with the improvements they've mede with the standard Mini Opera Jar.
take a look

What is improved?
Screen shoots?
Nadavi.
Yeah, I'm going to need some release notes or something. I'm not brave enough to just start running java programs from a random Russian website on my phone
I took the plunge and tried it . Not the smartest security risk - BUT I don't have any real data on the phone and I can always re-flash. Its a pretty interesting update. Once you install files from the links above, the newly installed Opera mini has built in links to the developers site that has FAQ's, instructions, basically full documentation - BUT its mostly in russian. I don't speak russian sooo... I can't help with the details. Basically, file downloading is MUCH improved (more like firefox for the PC), linking is better.. lots of cool stuff.
hey guys i am a native russian speaker and i got to tell you this is definately not a russian website

No it isn't russian, it's hungarian
look at the url: http://operamini.club.hu/keret.cgi?/opera_en.html
.hu is Hungary
For me, the package by Shlomki remains the biggest breakthrough in making Opera Mini easier to use...having Opera Mini as a shortcut in the \Programs folder just has to take the cake!

Default CABs Ready!!!
I made 3 cabs for easy installation of this hack.
What it does:
1. Installs MortScript (Default to Internal Memory, because of links and shortcuts)
2. Installs script to Windows dir and imports Reg values (to be independant of MortScript folder)
3. Creates a shortcut for OperaMini in the programs folder!
These CABs are for ARM processors and for Pocket PC only - not smartphones.
All you need to do is install.

My Mobiler alternative?

For some reason, I can't use my keyboard to input any data through My Mobiler, nor can I use the copy/paste feature. My keyboard only works on the home screen for dialling numbers!?
So basically, is there another way to connect to my Vox (6.1) using my PC?
Is there a VNC server for the phone?
Shame My Mobiler doesn't work. It's great to use, but keyboard input is my main concern.
A program called True connect works perfectly but it's ugly and costs £15!!
Thanks
I'm having the same issue as well on a HTC S620... Seems to not work on keyboard input

Could you add Celio Redfly Desktop Mobile Viewer Beta to your comparison list, please? I don't know if it is worthwhile but as you are a pro in this field and pride yourself in doing this sort of testing, if only for the sake of thoroughness ... it would satiate my curiosity.

Started testing it. So far, looks VERY cool.
I'm having a problem with the mute, I manually muted my phone (on the touch pad) and later I un-muted it with the mouse by clicking on the my mobiler display and now my phone is stuck with the speaker off, if I answer a call I can't hear anything (but they can hear me). Any suggestions on how to fix this? I really need help.
