DeepFish! (New microsoft browser for WM5+ devices!)

Has anyone tried it yet?
http://labs.live.com/Deepfish/whatis.aspx

I saw this posted elsewhere and tried to sign up, but they have already stopped new applications
Would love to try it on my Wizard though. Opera is fine for me on the Universal, but anything less than VGA would benefit from something like this.

Deepfish
Well here is the .cab install file but it needs an activation ID.
Can anyone help?

My activation ID is different so I wonder if they're tracking these?
Oh, and doesn't posting this break the rules????

@Griffy wiffy Thanks for posting the cab-file and the code
So far Deepfish works smnooth and offers a nice idea on browsing the internet on a ppc but in its early development stage it's not useful for daily purpose, but shouldn't take long until we have a good alternative for surfing the web

I guess that the posted cab is for pocket PC? Any chance anyone is willing to post the smartphone version?

"As a technology preview, Deepfish is early in its development cycle (still a few releases from beta quality). As a result some features are not implemented or are only partially implemented. Currently, the technology preview does not support ActiveX controls, AJAX, cookies, Javascript, and HTTP POST."
PUKE... I don't get how its worth browsing with???? no cookies??? no java??? I think i'll wait till final release

this is very nice idea, it is useful right now, it looks a lot like I already saw on some Nokia phones, E series. I'm wandering why is not freely available for download, is money the only thing that drives M$ !?

Does anyone know if this works on WM6. I've tried installing this and it says its successful but there is no new program installed nor any shortcut icons>
Any ideas

seem the activation code was blocked

Guess it doesn't work for WM2003SE?

It won't and I don't think WM2003(SE) support will ever be released. The platform is being ntirely phased out; for exmaple, NetFront 3.4 and Minimo 0.2 don't support it either.

great find thank you

I can't believe it
I can't believe only one person has said thank you for finding this. Opera Mini is sweet and fast (although Opera Mobile in Desktop mode is the only browser that I have been able to log in to my banks site chase.com and it has tabs ). Thank you very much really appreciate it.

I remember being confused with the CAB choices. What's the difference between options 'with and without selection dialog?'
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1740111&postcount=17

Menneisyys posted his thread in the General section too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347689
The selection dialog will kick in whenever you click a link to open a browser, so you can choose between PIE or Opera Mini. For more information see post #6 at the link I posted.

nevermind, didn't realize this thread is ancient...

Sorry, said my thanks to Shlomki already (the dude who tied up the different mortscripts into cab files). I think this is an awesome package indeed - Opera Mini truly rocks!

chase works for me with opera mini. I pointed my chase bookmark to "https://resources.chase.com/MyAccounts.aspx". if you don't get forwarded to your account after entering username/pass just reload the page by clicking on the bookmark again.

First of all, if you are talking about Opera Mobile, then it is a commercial software so no ROM release will have it.
Now, the second part. There aren't very many ROMs released for Kaiser yet so go through each release and check yourself to see what software are included with the release.

thanks for that
ive never used opera but i was advised by a colleague to get it
whats you r views on it ,,is it worth getting (i presume being commercial itll cost to obtain)
is it worth actually installing ???
thanks

Certain sites seem to work best on different browsers. I have both Opera Mobile and PIE installed (and use both regularly). There is a 30 day trial of Opera...check it out before you buy. Also try Opera Mini - also a very good browser which I've used at times. Hopefully, someone will soon integrate all the best features of each.

OPERA MINI is free dude and its the best browser for windows mobile device to date.
and also there are TONS of roms released for the kaiser..
I'm guess sherpa has an attitude and posts just to get his post count up.. cuz obviously his post was rather pointless.

I think my post was very straightforward. Opera Mobile will not be included with any release; to see if Opera Mini is included, just go through the ROM release threads. It's that simple.
Plus, if I really wanted to post just to get my post counts up then I would have thousands of posts by now since 2004.

I believe that one of Duttys roms had OPERA in it. I guess it was the V1 version of his fantastic rom - but the Forum has agreed not to use commercial software.....
But Companero. Use Operamini instead - its greeeeaat. By far the fastest browser you can get - and you can sync your links with MyOpera so you wont miss anything if you flash a new rom.

I do know that Jack's current FULL version has Opera Mobile in it. I believe it's out there if you look hard enough.

Yes. There is a post in the Device Upgrading area (top part of the forums) that has the how to do this.
OperaMini works well in most cases, but remember that whatever you are doing is rendered on a remote server. Don't use it for anything that should be secure (ie: don't do purchases or passwords across OperaMini IMO).

whats the big f**ing deal about sherpas post? he said as simple as needed: opera mobile is commercial. except for very few cooks, noone creates ROMs which include commercial version of different software for obvious reasons. if u want it, go buy it!
on the other hand, opera mini is free and you can install it in less than 5 minutes on every ROM, provided it has the right java applet installed. If not, one can also install Indent Java Midi applet which works perfect with Opera Mini.
i really hate all this smart ass talking and this show off from some of the users around here. it is a lot quicker and more useful to give a simple answer, even if it had been posted thousand times rather than telling to go read the wiki, search with google etc.
bleah!

A Request for a Mobile Version of Site

Was wondering if there was any chance of having a phone friendly site that goes into WAP mode when It recognizes Pocket Pie it would be so much better for surfing and navagating with my Tilt.. Anyway, just a thought. Thanks.

i have to agree - This site is very hard to navigate off a WM Device

There is a Mobile version of the site. I use it every day..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/

Or, use Opera Mini 4 that's what I use and this site is perfect on it

WOW, had no idea, obviously. Thanks!!!
Thanks for the Opera suggestion, but I like PiePlus better. I don't like the extra clicks needed to get to the favorites in the Opera products, unless something has changed in a never version.

Checked out the link, but the links on those pages are not up to date. In fact, they are really out of date. So I guess my initial request still stands!!

This is awesome. I didn't know about this either.

Windows Mobile CAB archive?

A while back I found a link to a mediafire archive with something like 50 CAB's in it, for Windows Mobile 6.x. Does anyone know where that archive is?
It used to be bookmarked on my computer, but I accidently deleted it, so it's now gone.
I imagine that some of those CAB's are probably somewhere else on the interwebs as well, but I have been searching all day to no avail.
Also, FreewarePocketPC still has lot's of stuff available for WM devices, but a lot of it is intermixed with crap for Android(most of the Android **** that's clogging the site is just virus anyways), and Windows Phone 7, and some of the links are dead.
P.S. I have an archive of CAB's as well, I will be sharing soon, most of the CAB's I have are still available elsewhere on the interwebs, but with WM6.x getting older by the day, and so many things linkrotting as we type, it won't be long before the ever-diminishing set of workable programs reaches zero, and our beloved WinCE/WM6.x based devices are dead forever. So the more mirrored archives there are, the better.
NOTE: IF anyone wants an app, PM me, do not clog the forums with requests. NO, I do not have warez and paid software, I do not have any way to make your paid software work without paying, DO NOT ask for warez, if you do, your PM will be copied to this thread for everyone to see and laugh at.

1.) Opera Mini 5 - In download box below. Web browser for WM2003 all the way up to WM6.5.5, still works and because of Opera compression, it renders nicely even over 2G and modern websites are rendered nicely.
2.) UC Browser 7.04 - In download box below. Another web browser for WM5 up to WM6.5.5, still works, built by a Chinese company, not sure if it uses compression, like other browsers for WM, rendering quality is hit or miss depending on the site.
3.) Opera Mobile 10 BETA - In download box below. A newer version of Opera, for WM5 and above, still works, like with Mini 5, it uses Opera compression servers so it browses fast over 2G and modern websites are still nice. AFAIK it supports Flash.
4.) SkyFire - In download box below. Another nice browser. I am not sure if it still works, it uses SkyFire compression servers, supports flash. SkyFire as of 2013 was still available for Android, so it's possible the compression servers are still active. If the servers are not active, then since this AFAIK does not render locally, it's just here for historical completeness.
5.) ZetaKey 2010 - In download box below. This is a browser that is AFAIK still developed for WM6 and up. It supports HTML5 and AFAIK Flash, based on WebKit, so even without compression servers(which this does not use), it should render modern websites okay.
6.) Iris Browser 1.1.9 - In download box below. This browser still works. Uses WebKit, although it is not developed anymore, it does score a 100/100 on Acid3, has a pop-up blocker and supports NPAPI plugins just like Firefox.
7.) ZetaKey 2017 - In download box below. See ZetaKey 2010 entry. This is the newest version of that browser.
8.) TCPMP Finger Friendly. A great media player for WM devices. IMO it's even better than what comes on most Androids even in 2019.
Original link is still up: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634951
Or you can download it from the box below.

1.) Flexilis Mobile Security - Link in download box below. This is a once-popular anti-virus program for WM6.x devices. It is AFAIK the precursor to what we now know as Lookout on Android devices. I am not sure if it has new virus definitions, but then again, is there anyone actually creating *new* viruses for WM6.x anyways?
2.) ESET Mobile Antivirus - Link in download box below. This is another popular anti-virus program for WM5 through 6.5.5, although the WM version is no longer developed nor is it still supported, ESET is still around and still makes some of the best anti-virus software for Linux, Windows, MacOS and Android.
3.) FingerKeyboard - Probably one of, if not the best alternative keyboards for WM6/6.5. It is way better than the stock keyboard(although the HTC keyboard is decent).
Download it from the box below, or the original link is still active here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487677
4.) Esmertec Jbed - This allows Java midlets to run on Windows Mobile devices.
Get it from the box below or go here(https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407667) because the original link is still active...
5.) Adobe Reader - View PDF files on Windows Mobile. Get it from the download box below.

Dude, don't you think you've been late with this thread for about 10 years?
I know maybe 3 or 4 old-fags here at xda (including me) who still have functional WM6.5 - WEH6.5.3 phones. And we are mostly "chiefs" - we cook our own roms and have all the necessary soft in our roms already.

I am just putting this out here mainly as a way a of preserving these programs for anyone who might care aboit them. Also, so if there might be anyone out there who still happens to have a device that can use these. So, sure, the thread is 10 years out of date, but thats exactly the point.

I'll take that bet...
Well I for one would love to see archives of old WM6.x CABs. I bought the HD2 In the first week it was out, and loved tweeking and fiddling with it until I had to factory reset it and remember where I stored the latest viable backup.
I must have crashes that thing a dozen times or more!
Well I never did get myself together enough to build a kitchen and learn to cook up some ROMs, but I had fun with all of the crazy and cool programs and apps. Cookie monster had an awesome UI Tweeker as I recall.
So yeah, I found the ol' Leo and charged it up! It's working!
I would love some links to CAB archives!

I recently bought some Windows Mobile devices just to play with, so I would also love an archive.

Finally somebody doing this. Thanks.
A bit late, but preservation is always good.
I tried finding games for WinMo, but every single link i came across was dead. (If somebody comments about piracy... WinMo has been discontinuted for, like, what? 10 years?)
If anyone still has any app installed on their WinMo phones, please make a backup and upload it.
I was a Symbian user when WinMo was still used, so i kinda missed on pretty much everything.
And you know what's the weird thing?
You can still find SYS files for Symbian all around the internet, but WinMo apps simply vanished.
So, yeah, if any of y'all have any app, just post it here.

I have a bunch on my HD2, I just dont know how to upload to here. Or anywhere else for that matter. I will look into a file share site. Any help would be appreciated.

http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ still operates with most links still working. In most cases it offers a primary link & a mirror link to download the Apps. On the rare occasion both links fail a web search on the App or developer name will usually yield a result. Only very rarely can I not find a WM6.5 CAB, registry hack, etc., that I want. I've been amazed how much is still out there. I've used the HD2 as my sole Phone/PDA for almost 10 years & by trial & error I've got it to be very stable (a screen freeze is now a rare & notable event). I recently added the new 400GB microSD which is so fast I can put most Apps onto SD that formally required Device Memory installation only. I can't speak too highly of this little device. And the screen is much more scratch resistant than my wife's Lumia 950! Cheers

When you tap the reply button and it opens up that new page where you write your text and stuff, scroll down until you see "Manage Attachments", tap on that and a new page will open, from which you could upload your files. :good:

Sites that still have some form of .cab files:

A good extractor for cabs and thier extension files would be nice.

Chill, it's no problem.
You could upload them to your Google Drive and turn on link sharing for the zip you made from the cabs. (And tap on "Everybody with a link: can view", not "Everybody with a link: can edit")
Then copy the link and post it here.
Also, thanks for those links. Really useful.

Having better achieve of cool apps and games still good for even the htc hd2 would be great for WinMobile 6.5

I attempted to reply with an outline of a project I am starting, and included the links to my dropbox file of HTC HD2 software, however it was auto flagged and i cant find the technical contact form as my browser is not allowing me to scroll through all the options in drop down menus and other pages.
sorry guys! I shall return when I can and try again.

Making a online archive with every possible cab categorized in smart way is one of my dreams since when I started discovering the world of technology and modding through this wonderful OS called Windows Mobile
The websites listed in this page allows you to search on old filesharing websites.
You can still find a lot of apps on
---Emule (servers +KAD especially)
---"windows mobile" and "pocketpc" sections on softonic.com (if I'm not wrong a con is that for each cab you want to download Softonic downloads a windows installer that then downloads the cab)
---install the webarchive extension on your browser and visit every old bookmark you saved in the past with the hope that the webpage was saved on the archive)
If I had the time I'll buy some webspace and I'll archive every WinMo app! XD (I would need less GBs than a single today's laptop hdd)

Actually, just dug out an old HTC Diamond2 that was once used by a relative, I was looking for software and this has actually been pretty helpful, I'm trying to figure out what these old PDA-ish devices still can do, I know that the few that can run Linux are actually pretty well supported to this day, but this one looks pretty much obscure so far, not a miracle, but I did want to play around with it
