Hi,
I just tried the free GNU Emu48CE for Windows mobile 2002/2003.
It comes along with all you need (ROM image, Skin bitmap file, *.kml file) for emulate a HP38G, HP39G, HP40G, HP48G and HP49G.
But I used a HP48SX for a very long time and that's a bit different to HP48G. So if there are any Skins and *.kml files fitting on a 320*240 PDA it would help me a lot, because I wrote many small apps for it and these will not all run on a HP48G.
JH
the kml is just the gui layout
of device
the difference between 48S and 48G is purely a rom thing
here you can find kml and prob roms too for the emulators
http://www.hpcalc.org/hp48/pc/emulators/
if you dont like to do the messing on the pda you can do all the work on the pc version and then just change the rom on the pda when you are ready
odd that they would not work on 48G
that never been an issue for me
Hmmm...
I don't know much about the emu and his configurations. Maybe the klm works as it is also with an SX GUI as long as the keyboard layout is equal. But even if it is only the matter of the ROM and not of the klm to interpret a keypress right, the lettering of the keys (bitmap) does not fit to a HP48. Same keys have not the same function on both calculators. It's a little bit like trying to type english on a keybord with greek letters on it...
OK, I can change the gui on my own, but I'm quite sure that someone else already has done this before and I try to avoid spending time on doing things other have already done and perhaps much better than I can do...
I will see what I can find at http://www.hpcalc.org/hp48/pc/emulators/ ...
it's quite much to read...
I think the most apps from my 48SX will work on an 48G but some of them uses direct system calls (SysRPL) and some entry point may have changed...

im trying to compare these two dll files but i dont reall know how to
I use this app.
http://www.ultraedit.com/index.php?name=Content&pid=34
I also recommend the free (!) WinDiff, on which I've elaborated in depth at http://discussion.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=215073
hmm i like the ultraedit but it makes the dlls look all wierd. maybe its supposed to be like that.
my problem is that the dll bta2dp.dll from tornado makes the a2dp work. and the bta2dp.dll from treo 750v does allow it to work.
i feel this file is necessary but i dont know the differances
I presume that's a typo because as I read it, both dll's allow your application to work?
I don't understand the problem, if you have have one that works then isn't that the solution? I don't get what you're trying to achieve. DLL's are composed of functions which are dynamically linked to at runtime from the application code. If the parameters passed from the application to the function in the DLL differ from one version to another, or the return information is different then that's the reason why one works and the other doesn't.
Unless you have the programming skill to debug the procedure as it is entered and subsequently change it then there's nothing that you're going to be able to do other than compare version numbers of the files but since you have already found one that works, what's the issue?

(Now I've noticed you try to compare binary files - windiff is only usable for comparing textual ones. Sorry.)
I would be very happy this xmas if I can find an application like I describe below.
My request is simple, so simple I cannot find it anywhere! I've searched and searched and wasted hours online trying to find it to no avail.
I would like to find a file explorer application with an interface like the Search Today plugin that will search locally in the main memory and sd card but not only web pages; an application like the type-to-search function found in Initiate for Palm devices.
It can be either a plugin or a button-assignable application (even better!).
I want to be able to start typing a word in the Today screen (or anywhere else by pressing a button) and the application will look through EVERYTHING in the phone and show all the instances of that word/phase narrowing it down as I type, and once I find what I am after and click on it, if it is an application it will open it, if it is a file it will open an application by file association, if it is a phone number it will open the phone application, if it is a video file it will play it, and so on.
I'm not after skins or pretty intefaces that flip and turn or anything of the sort, I don't need any of that because I want to use my phone efficiently, because for me it is a tool not a show-off thingy to beat the iPhone. I want an efficient, plain and simple "search and you shall find" kind of application, with a small footprint, preferably.
Cubes are very nice to look at and some people spent heaps of time honing their skills in developing it but at times they bore me, sorry.
Is there anything available that will do what I need? Please?
I'm searching for the same thing! I know one but its exclusive to sierra voq smartphone: it's called myvoq
I sort of knew that it was not going to be easy to find but I am still hopeful that the great brains out there would have come up with something.

I have a wm2k3 rom from the Sierra VOQ which has the myVOQ in it... But I can't dump it... I get some "can't load compressor dll" when dumping it...

Thank you but I think even if you managed to dump your ROM or copy the dll it probably would not have worked because I think the phone is a smartphone, i.e., no touch screen, am I right? I believe software made for smartphones cannot be made to work on touchscreen-phones.
But thanks for trying.

I discovered the correct terminology for what I am after: "Predictive on-device Search" - see article here. But still no concrete results.

I've found a few but only for s60 symbian phones...
not one for windows mobile.
Hi!
Since last week, I've been working on an usable kernel for the HTC Vox. I guess you've already looked at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368014&page=5
More or less, I have a working kernel. I've tested some images against the modified kernel, and both Gpe and Opie get to the welcome screen (without getting stucked). Nothing is really usable, as they're not even compiled for this specific platform (cannot get to compile opie for arm by myself... yet), but as a base, it's not bad at all.
As I've seen on my previous post, there's people interested on this (3300 views make me believe that), what I would want to know is, are there more developers interested on building a linux port for the Vox? Testers will be needed also, but later, when we get to something useful for testing
If you're interested, reply!
Cannot help u develop anything here, but would be a willing tester for it... thoroughly
I'd love to help, but I'm in the middle of moving to a new place and won't have internet most of the time next 2 weeks.
Do you have a Wiki or other place for collaberating? SourceForge perhaps?
I do have a wiki, but upload is no faster than around 80kB/s
In case you haven't seen it, you have a new build of the kernel on the other post, along with links and a little manual to start a graphic environment on the vox.
@barth666, @StefanHamminga
I've been thinking about it, and... I don't know what to do I mean, I think Sourceforge is the best place to dump it all, and it gives us a wiki too. On the other side, here is the xanadux wiki, and maybe it would be a good idea to let sourceforge host the files, and leave the wiki in here with other HTC phones... what do you think?
Oh! For GPIO dumping, the only thing I've seen working is the linwizard project's Haret_Omap.exe (in case you want to try to guess where the damned keys are )
PS: Anyone has an HTC Tornado? I'd love to know if the tornado kernel makes the leds and vibrator flash, I can't find where they are!

I have a tornado (and vox and wings), so tell me what to test
I know from the ml_iPod wiki (I am the admin) that SourceForge is really slow and the Php and Sql versions are old, in case you want to set up something like MediaWiki! You might want to try http://code.google.com/ , it has a built in Wiki and you can host files!
Just a suggestion
Keep up the good work
EDIT: I could even set one up, if you want, but I am not into coding at all!
Hi! Sorry for the delay, but I'm having lots of work this week and I've been unable to keep on with this...
@Walram: On the following days I'll try to build a kernel for you, wich should put all the lights on and makes the phone vibrate until you take the battery out Obviously just for testing, it shouldn't break anything, but I need to know if the originally-made-for-the-tornado vibrator and led drivers actually work on the tornado... Thanks!
@Frauhottelmann
Didn't know that google gave that service too! will look at it this weekend and post back when I have something done with this.. thanks for the feedback!

Hi!
Ok, here's what I want you to try. If you haven't downloaded it yet, download the Linux Test Image:
http://rapidshare.com/files/93938763/test.zip.html
Then, download the kernel for the tornado:
http://rapidshare.com/files/96145010/kernel_tornado_driver.tar.gz.html
Dump the contents of the first file to the memory card, and then overwrite the file "zImage", with the one from the second link. Run haret, and hit "Run".
It should, at least, boot. If it doesn't, tell me where it gets frozen (could be that you only se some dots on the screen, whatever appears, just tell me )
If it boots, don't stop looking at the leds (charge/bluetooth leds mainly), they should, at least, flash -theorically they should stay on all the time-. It also should vibrate, at least for a quarter of second
I just need to know what it actually does!
Thanks!
So what about a dev-page? Then you don't need to upload it to Rapidshare and you can see the progress better!
Hi frauhottelmann,
I'm going to tell you the truth. I think it would be better if it's you who admins a site for this project than if I do, for various reasons:
1. I started all this thing, but I'm no owner of anything, by now I just hacked four things to make this phone boot a kernel, but no more.
2. I've seen your work at the ml_ipod sourceforge page, and think it's usable, clean, and nice, and I think that's exactly what we would need (even if it's a little slow just as you stated in your previous post). I could make the graphics for the web (I'm quite decent at photoshop), but I have never built a wiki, or a project anywhere else, and I don't know a sh** about it, so that would be another big thing to learn, and for now, I gotta learn more about the linux kernel, and that itself it's huge.
3. I don't think I can handle work, classes, building patches, kernels and bootstrap images and administrate a site, it feels like too much for me
Conclussion? I think it's better to let people do what does better, and I'm quite sure you'll do it better than I, so if you want, it's all yours
PS: In any case, we will need a name for the project, any suggestions?
What I have heard from the ml_iPod developers is that upload to SF is not a nice process either. I still think Google code is better, although it's not as customizable as SF.net. But we could also set up a page on Googlepages (pages.google.com) and then point to the Google code site with the Wiki and downloads!
I can offer my technical know-how (SPL, GPIOs, etc.)
Since I have little time you should ask me precise questions for which I can try to find the answers.
Sorry for the delay...

So we can start using google code, and stick with it if it goes well. We can always change the hosting if something goes wrong! About the wiki, the easiest thing is start with google code too, and simply link the xda wiki to it...
i can't code, but i can keep you company maybe
i am here if help is nedeed
But what name do we want to use?
Linux for Vox?
LinVox !
how does that sound ?
just kidding
waiting to get linux running on my vox....
But what name do we want to use?

Hooked on Vonix!
vonix sounds ok
can also try "Mobile TUX"
wow
this is an incredible news ! linux on the Vox !
I'd love to flash mine with a movibuntu distro =)
How do you guys feel about splitting the project up in several subprojects?
Like:
Kernel and driver work: TI OMAP HTC Vox board patch and perhaps drivers
Base system: minimal rootfs and toolkit to utilize all Vox functionality
Usability: GUI and (for instance) Android support
This would also enable us to share the base system & usability work with other 'linux on smartphone' and embedded projects.
I do have a suggestion for the base system:
www.emdebian.org
Very up to date build toolchain for arm (GCC 4.x toolchains) and you can have apt support on the base rom. This would allow access to a huge amount of packages that can be used with relatively little effort. Others I've checked out are the new mobile ubuntu (system requirements way to high), MontaVista (severe lack of proper documentation to get up to speed quickly), uClinux (uses ulibc instead of the faster full fledged one, in my opinion we'd better trade some storage for more speed) and some others I can't remember now...
PS. I've got internet at my new place and I've recovered my bricked wizard from the 'spare electronics bin', so finally I can spend some more time on this
I know there are a lot of thread about Android but I would like to have some explanations to understand the whole pictures.
In fact, every times I read a post about android, it's more an ad for a ROM than a real explanation ... what I would to understand is really what's going on. A more High level understanding.
As per my understanding, Android is a graphical layer over Linux. So first I would like to understand how Linux is running on our Polaris
I know there are 3 files:
zImage which is the Kernel itself (and I think it's developped and maintained by DZO)
initrd which is the initial ram disk (like a standard Linux system)
NBH ... And I don't know what is the goal of the NBH ?
This makes me wonder 2 things
Why do we have different panel type ?
What is updated in this NBH every time DZO update it ?
Anyway, over that if I've correctly understand we have Android.
Ok but what I don't understand is the different method.
RootFS
NoMoreRootFS
SQSH
I've to admit I didn't investigate much in this.
I don't know what is RootFS or SQSH. If anyone can explain me that would be highly appreciated.
But I've tried the NoMoreRootFS method. I think it's the more recent and advanced method but not sure at all about that.
Anyway, I've understood that we start Linux and if we press "Voume Up" during the boot sequence it launches the application which is either in androidinstall.tgz or androidupdate.tgz (depending on the option "install" or "update" we select in the menu which appears after pressing "volume up").
Well, that's a beginning but over all of that I'v discovered that there are more than 1 version of Android.
1.6 : Donut
2.1 : Eclair
What are the differences between these versions ? Are there any other version ? I've heard of an "OpenEclair" version but don't what it is.
I think that's it for the moment. I hope that some people will be able to help me. Thanks a lot for any suoport you can provide.
the warm´s donut is the fastest...but only the hero sense builds have the "cool" style and EzInput 2 with german lang....but the hero sense builds are very slow...
Thank you Alexander but in fact my post was not related to any roms particulary.
I just would like to understand how it is working from a high level point of view.
There are lot of post to explain how to flash, what to flash but I dind't find anything on how this is working ?
How all these pieces are related with each others ?
Does anyone have links or help to provide with, please ?
P.S. : Yes it seems that Warm donut is an excellent ROM.
