mda III midlet manager

Hi
It would be great if someone could help me with this.
I work for t-mobile and I am trying to help a customer with opening JAD and JAR files on a MDA III.
As far as I can tell there is no midlet manager. I have searched the CD with no luck. Can anyone help. No java files can be opened at all
well if it's not there then it's because you dident put it there
you being tmobile
such programs are not included in normal windows CE
so it's 3th party applications the 3th party being tmobile
tmobile can include it in the extented rom in their next rom release if they wish

WM6 with SQL Mobile

Do any of the current roms have this included? If not where can i install it?
Thanks
question is, how to UNINSTALL it...
That's the SQM not SQL ... little confusion
If I'm not mistaken ... something like Service Quality Module...Management ..whatever
According to one of the cookers they removed the SQL (SQL Server) Mobile from the ROM to allow other apps to be added.
I seem to have it in my rom.
Actually it comes from mun, because I used his aRTM as a base.
Although I don't know if it's functionall and how to test that.
SQL Mobile is included in all official WM6 (Professional) releases and provides a framework for databases to communicate on PPC devices. It is NOT needed by most casual PPC users as most of the applications that require it are enterprise related and built for specific functions. Hence, why my ROM release was named "Business Edition". It can be removed quite easily, but it has an EXTENSIVE registry presence. It is included as a package in the registry I think, so perhaps this can be removed in double_ofour's new kitchen.

I agree with the "EXTENSIVE registry presence"
It's alot of it in there.
Is SQLCE the same thing? If so, that comes (the runtime) with Pocket e-Sword (Bible program) as I have to install that on my phone to use it. Its part of the install (and in the add remove programs shows up as a seperate install from e-sword itself so you can install, then uninstall e-sword if you don't want it).

Should be the same ...
SQL .CE
That file should not be removed (sqlce30). It has a different function.
sql ce is not SQL Mobile.

Office

Ok I have the Office2007 cab but it doesn't seem to be compatible with WM5 is there a version someone has here in cab form that will run under WM5?
It don't think it will because it has some specific dependencies on the WM6 core. I could be wrong though. There is a cab in here called OfficeFix2. Run a search for it and give it a shot.
You can download MS Office 2007 here :
Code:
http://rapidshare.com/files/36100054/MS_Office_2007.rar
only work with WM06
extract rar and install file .cab
I had office2007 already luckily there is a person on PPCGeeks that ported 2007 to WM5 and I am good to go now thanks.
well we are developers. they are geeks. there is only so much we can do

WM 6.5 CHome on older WM versions

Hello,
I installed WM 6.5 SDK. In emulator it looks good, but i don't want to install 6.5 on my phone, because some people done it have trouble with some programs (e.g. Opera Mobile 9.7). But it's possible to extract all the Chome files and registry values. Using RomExtractor by GreateVK I got Today DLL, mui, and using Total Commander registry values from HKLM/Software/Microsoft/CHome/ and HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Today/Items/Windows Default. Will it work on WM 6.1, and is it possible to port so that work? Copying files and adding registry keys do not take effect. System core version in 6.1 and 6.5 is 5.2. Are there some big core/system differences, not UI differences?
Thank you)
Did you get all registry trees?
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Windows Default"
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome
HKLM\Security\CHome
Which DLLs and such files did you extract?
yes, security.... i'll try... files? chome.dll, chomeres.dll, chomeres.dll.mui, chomewmpplugin.dll
cmhome.dll is also linking XmlLite.dll, which is not existing on WM 6
I forgot to mention, of course you also need the Titanium*.cpr files.... And all PNG files which are used as icons in the Titanium panels.

How do I use Windows Mobile apps on a Windows CE 6.0 device?

I just bought a Windows CE 6.0 device called the A81 MID that has the following specs
7 inch 800x480 lcd screen
Arm Cortex A8 600mhz
256mb ram
WinCE 6.0
I bought this thinking since i can use alot of wince apps on WM phones it would work the other way around too
Im trying to install Skyfire and Opera on the device because IE sucks on this device.
Every time I try to install a .cab ile I get the error "not a valid windows ce setup file"
Whats strange is that a lot of programs i have that is designed to run on WinCE won't open on 6.0 either
one example was FinalBurn CE .14, nothing happens when i open the .exe
Even the classic CAB installer to manage cabs from self destructing when installing fails to open and gives me the error "not a valid windows CE application"
Is this problem unique to this device or to WinCE 6.0?
The CAB files include some information saying on which platform and/or version of the OS it can be installed. IMO this is the only issue that prevents the application to be installed on your notebook, and this will also result in the error message you wrote. It's the same message that appears for instance when you try to install an application that requires WM 6 on a PPC 2003 device.
Since WM is based on Windows CE it's usually no problem running WM applications on Windows CE, unless you don't access any telephony APIs or any other similar stuff explicitly available only on the WM platforms.
So you can just go ahead and extract the files and registry settings from the CAB and install them manually, or re-create the CAB with different version requirements. If it doesn't work then I dare to say it's 100% the reason that some special WM APIs are used.
I managed to run some WM application on a Windows CE emulator. They are actually working fine, though the GUI doesn't look very good because they are optimized for Mobile phone screens and not adapted to the Windows CE "Desktop" OS.
I also have a Windows CE notebook and I'm planing on porting Nitrogen to it. If I have the time. Some day. Eventually. Yes.
Edit: problem of some WinCE applications not running on your machine might be that they are designed for WinCE 5. WinCE 6 has a re-designed kernel and some APIs are obsolete.... It's the same problem that will happen when we'll be switching from WM 6 to WM 7.
any ideas on how i can extract the registry and files? ive tried a couple of cab extractor and they all end up giving files with weird names and extensions such as skyfir34580.001 and other rubbish like that. Winrar gives me even worst filenames. is there any kind of tutorial you can point me too? i have no programing skills so porting would be way over my head.
have you had anyluck installing skyfire 1.5 or opera 10 on a wince device? also have you ever gotten finalburn to run on your wince devices?
search for MSCEInfEn
to create a new CAB look at this:

thx for the explication RAMMANN --
i plan to buy a windows ce '7" mini netbook' and i want to use all WM6/6 progs from PPC (if hardware supports it, of course)
