Yea, the title speaks by itself. I have a Himalaya with WM6 and I'm developing a .NET CF program. I need to make some screenshots.
How to? Possibly for free? I found VITO Screen Capture but is not freeware and probably the license expires after formatting HDD...
Thanks in advance
Many programs can make screenshots from within the device, or from desktop pc.
Freeware utility for PC:
MyMobiler
Freeware Pocket PC apps:
MagicSS
IliumSoft's Screen Capture - with possibility of timed screenshots
And many other free apps - some were developed in Development and Hacking subforum here at xda-devs.
MyMobiler is awesome - great little program. In addition to allowing screenshots, it allows complete control of your PPC from your computer, which I find incredibly handy when I'm at my desk. Being able to work with files on the PPC from my desktop window with a keyboard and mouse is far more useful than it sounds.
XnView - a nice free image viewer also allows timed screenshots (you activate the program, set screenshot timeout, minimize it and afret given time the screenshot will be taken). Just make sure you save them in png - jpg's can look ugly.

Yeah I would give my thumbs up to My Mobiler too. Great application and its free.
My Mobiler Problems after Kaiser Tweak
I have a Tilt and I just had to do a hard reset. I installed MyMobiler and it worked perfectly until I installed Kaiser Tweak. I basically set up KT with all of the Advised Settings. Now, whenever I try to run MyMobiler, it tells me that my password is incorrect and I need to reset it. Once I reset the password on the computer, it tells me to reset it on the phone using a method which is not possible.
BTW, I never setup a password with MyMobiler.
Any Suggestions/ideas?
taking Screenshots from Device/Emulator
Hey,
here is a detailed solution for taking screenshots from your device or emulator

Chaps,
I'm new 'round here (first post), and I am not that clued-up on PDA and Windows CE terminology and suchlike. However I have a technical background, so will probably get along OK.
I have a Fujitsu Siemens Loox N100 (see link here.) I bought it as a Sat-Nav system, but have since discovered that you can unlock it and reveal the underlying Windows operating system. It claims to be Windows CE v5.00.
Having managed this, I have loaded various bits of software onto it, including TCPMP (MP3 player) and SpreadCE (Pocket Spreadsheet program.) Both of which work very well, and I am very happy with them.
I now want to find both address book and diary software, thus allowing me to use the machine as a PDA. However, I simply can't find anything to fit this bill - it seems that if you buy a PDA with WinCE on it, it also comes with Pocket Outlook, allowing you to do both these things. I don't have this software, and therein lies my request.
Is it possible to get hold of CAB files for Pocket Outlook, to solve this problem? Or, failing that, can anyone recommend a suitable PIM application that will both keep track of contacts for me, and run a personal diary? (If these sync with Outlook on my desktop PC that would be the icing on the cake, but it is not essential.)
Does anyone have any suggestions for suitable software for these tasks?
The other option is to use SpreadCE to write something using Excel functionals. I may be able to cook up a reasonable address book like this, but a diary would be beyond me!
Thanks for any help!
Oli.
Quick update ...
.. searching on here has thrown up "My Calender v1.5", which looks ideal for the diary part of the problem, but when I load it and run it I get the message (on the pocket device) "Fail to load CLSID".
Any ideas?
Thanks, again.
Oli.
Sorry, I am not familiar with any PIM software that will work on Win CE.
The devices we deal with here run Windows Mobile. Though it is based on Win CE (same kernel) it has a few additions on which most of the apps (fortunately not all) depend.
There is no such thing as cab for pocket outlook.
There is one thing I can recommend:
Search for "opening MIO C550". Someone created a cab for that device (unfortunately it runs CE 4.2) that adds ActiveSync to it and some dlls (like aygshell.dll) that Win Mobile apps need to run.
It also has some utilities though I am not sure about PIM.
I think this might work for you (at least you will be able to run a wider range of apps).
Oh, and the error you are getting is probably due to a missing COM object. Nothing to be done about that.
Levenum,
Thanks for your reply. It was helpful.
Your comment about Windows Mobile and Windows CE is very helpful. I thought that Windows Mobile and Windows CE were the same thing - different names for the same software. Thanks for clearing that up - apologies for ignorance. The fact that there are some things on Windows Mobile that are not on Windows CE may explain why some of the software I have tried hasn't worked.
I will try the "Opening MIO C550" search as you suggested. However, I can run Windows ActiveSync on the N100 as it is. (Although that's about it!) I'll post up here with details of how I get on ...
What do you mean by a "Missing Com Object"? What is a Com Object? You suggest that there is no way of fixing this - shame, as My Calender looks just about ideal for what I want to do!
Thanks again for your help.
Oli.
Please receive my apologies. I gave you incorrect model. There is no C550.
Mio P550 is a full PDA, but Mio C510 is a PND.
Any way here is the link, judging by the screenshots it has some kind of 'contact' app. Hope it helps.
'COM object' is a programming term. M$ invented the system and it is very problematic when moving programs around.
As you may know almost all windows programs rely on some DLL files in addition to EXE files as well. Those DLL files are programs too but they do not run by them selves but only offer functions to be used by other programs.
The idea was that if there is a common function, like say opening a window it would be in a DLL and instead of every programmer rewriting it in his code he would just call the function.
COM objects are stored in DLLs too but accessing them is more complicated. For one thing, its not enough for the DLL just to be there (like with normal DLLs) but it needs a registry entry. Have you ever dug through the registry and seen the CLSID key that has many sub keys that look like this: {a1234678-1234.....? Most of them are COM objects.
Virtual keyboards are implemented as COM objects on WM.
Levenum,
Thanks again.
It looks like I am onto a losing streak with this. I tried the details as described for the Mio C510, but to no avail - it doesn't work on the N100.
COM Objects ... thanks for the explanation. Am I right in understanding that the problem I have is a missing DLL file, when I try to run MyCalender? Would it be possible to put the relevant DLL file onto my machine? My Calender looks very much like the sort of thing I am looking to run, and I am frustrated at being so close to running it!
Failing that, does anyone else know of any PIM software that might run on WinCE?
Thanks again,
Oli.
Actually, what the error means is you are missing some registry entries.
It is most likely those entries are pointing to a DLL but there is no way of telling which DLL without knowing what the app looks for in the registry.
By the way, you do not need to follow all the instructions there.
You just need to get the cab and manually install it (I understand you can access file explorer on your device).
If that does not work, then sorry I am out of ideas.
Hi,
This is probably a no, (and i've searched for this already btw but not found anything), but....
Is it possible to launch a different application other than the touch cube when you slide your thumb up the screen ?
thanks in advance
Matt
Yes it is, but not with the normal TouchFlo. Search for FTouchFlo, it does basically the same, but you can assign any command to each direction of sliding your finger over the screen.
That means four different possibilities.
Don't know if this helps, but you can try this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1971424
Note that VJBrisk is basically just a tiny app I made to allow you to replace one executable (eg BioTouch.exe), with VJBrisk, and VJBrisk will allow you to launch a shortcut with parameters.
You may well not need to do that step, depending on your needs. The thread above explains this much better than my mumblings.
V
cheers chaps, will take a look at these.
I had hoped it was as simple as a registry change but guess not
thanks
Matt
Use UltimateLauncher, and get rid of TouchFLO Cube. It also lets you assign functions to run any .EXE or .LNK to swipes in all 4 directions. That's what I did. But I only use Up and Down. Up to get open my contacts and down to invoke the S2U2 screen lock.
I've decided to go with vjbrisk which is working very well at the moment.
however, even with show all files I am unable to fine either LaunchStartupApp.lst or Launchstartupapp in the windows file. Am using a polaris (o2 orbit 2)...any ideas where I can find this or if it's called anything else.
It's not the end of the world, would just be useful to free up 5mb or so.
cheers
Matt
Try to install the Vspainter 1.75
but it can not work in my Touch Pro...

Here is a freebie that works well-
Mobile sketcher- it is by Chris Craft at http://www.cjcraft.com/blog
It allows you to import pictures, draw over them and then save them as bitmaps.
He has many other apps such as a gps compass
You WILL need to update your phone's .net framework for this to work- not such a chore

For a list of his other progs follow the link

If all you want to do is make and store basic sketches, then you can use the NOTES app that came with your phone, in DRAW mode.
Hi folks,
Like the title says,
I'm new to winmo after a hiatus of over 4 years. Loving my HD2/Leo (after sorting out some teething problems!).
I know there are hundreds if not thousands of apps that will work with the Leo but I would love to hear from seasoned winmo users; what are the first 5 3rd party apps you load up on your new device ......and more importantly, why?
Freeware is always good but I don't mind spending money on an application that does the job right.
So, what are your "Desert Island Apps"?
The apps you can't live without?
The apps that show off the functionality of Windows Mobile?
The apps that just "get things done" & of course the apps that are good for relaxation/entertainment..
Do tell!
Cheers,
wab.
Resco explorer, Skype, Palringo, SPB Traveler, Pocketmusic, iGO8, Opera, CorePlayer
Thanks for the quick first response, just like your name
Why those apps? Why Pocketmusic over HD2's built in one for example (though I think I know the answer to that!).
Didn't know skype app worked on the Hd2. Must investigate!
Cheers,
wab
hi
1) Resco explorer - best file explorer
2) Core player - best divx, flv, avi media player
3) Igo8 - my fav satnav
4) Spb backup - name says all
5) Experiment 13, Resco bubbles - gaming
I have just 1 app. which has travelled with me for a long, long time and has seen many devices, started with the old Windows CE Philips Velo: PhatNotes.
Oh yeah, and ListPro (of cause ...)
The rest is subject to changes. Changes that are mainly influenced by the device I'm using. Right now, I'm trying to substitute as many apps as possible for finger-friendly apps.
Cheers folks. Yes, Finger Friendly is good!! I like how the new 1.48 ROM seems to have pinch/zoom in more old apps. PhatNotes and List Pro I have to check out!
Keep 'em coming.
For me right now
1 - Mobipocket Reader/AlReader - For eBooks
2 - Pocket Informant - For PIM and GTD
3 - The Channer/CorePlayer - For Watching TV (when it works) and Media files
4 - Sugarsync - For Files on the go/sync'd to work computer
5 - YoMo Media - For RSS feeds
Above list subject to dramatic change based on suggestions in this thread!
Of cause, how could I forget Mobipocket. A pity though that browsing by tapping on the screen is such a hassle with the responsive screen of the HD2. Although I defined a big margin, I couldn't help selecting text so now and then instead of tapping to go page up or down.
But don't let me kidnap this thread... keep the suggestions comming
Just on that appelflap, in mobipocket, if you go to menu>options>general and under "Default selection action" change that to "None", its then a lot easier to change pages.
I've mine set up with the orientation and full screen icons visible at the bottom on app start (uncheck "Use Windows Mobile 2005 Softkeys" in toolbars tab to see these).
I then use icons to rotate screen and then enable full screen and then it works fine.
I can't go back to "normal screen" from here but its easy to hit the home button and open app again to get back to non full screen mode. I usually just hit home when I finish reading anyway and leave it in the background until I get a chance to read again.
Hope that makes sense and helps!
But anyway, on with the indispensible app finding!
Like appelflap said, keep those suggestions coming, especially for noobies (and there are a lot I think since Leo came out!!).
Resco Explorer - best explorer for me
Alreader2 - for .fb2 books
Navitel - for navigation
PhatPad - for notes
More or less these are my top 5:
1. Resco Expolrer - Best file explorer for me
2. CorePlayer - Plays most videos decently
3. iGo - For navigation

4)SpriteBackup~backup prog works very well for me
5)e-Natives Showcase~The best taskmanager for the one that is missing on the Leo!
1. iGO8 for SatNav
2. Pocket Informant as PIM

TURNS OUT:
1.3.6 is not designed for use in a Snap Dragon CPU.
Core Player opens up, but pressing the Play button causes a total freeze "of the entire unit, then only a soft reset the unit back to life.
tHIS DOES HAPPEN..twice to me, and removed it..reportedly the community is wating for the release of Coreplayer 2.0, said to take care of the incompatabilities with 1.36. Guess I am waiting too...
Actually I opted to can Core playerand got Kinoma Play.
I'd used and liked Wisbar 3 but not in the HD2! Turns out that Lakeridge is beta testing version 4 for WM 6.5 right now.
Mine are:
eWallet
Resco Explorer
Pocket Informant
Phat Notes
Sprite Backup Full Version 6.5.5 bld 1
Sorry 'bout all the added info but there's my 5.
Take Care
I've been using Coreplayer v1.3.5 build 7340.
Never had any freezes or had to soft reset.
