Hey, just got an idea! i play this game, minecraft, which is actually just an .exe file with no instalation but with a folder placed in appdata/roaming as an source. I guess its java based, at least you can download a java-version.
My question is, what would it take to port that to hd2? it uses keyboard for moving and some other buttons for exiting, opening storage ect... so the keyboard thing has to be implemented in some way.. it also uses mouse for moving...
any ideas for how to do it?

I'm not sure how you'd get it working, control-wise, but the Linux "version" offered for download is literally just the .jar file.
It's more likely to be ported to Android. Example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-9K8ZQTOMY
emulator?
looking nice on android, but its not real gameplay... i was wondering if there was some kind of windows-emulator for winmo...
qwak,
why emulate Windows on WinMo, if game is written in Java?
Better is to find/write/configure Java VM to run it...

File type not supported!? Eh? So, if android doesn;t use the file, it won't download it!? I'm gonna try again, but if this is the case, it's blatant bull**** and almost censorship area of wankness!
or does the browser freak out with RS? anyone else confirm this?
thanks, oh. and before some asks, my ISP is down, so i needed to dl a cab for my athena from my g1, as my athena is simlocked atm.
Its not file share. If android doesnt know the file type it wont download. Ive tried downloading jar files. Same thing, even with java installed.
Its the same in android file manager, if you put a file on your sd card and theres no application to open it it just says file reading not supported
what a pile of [email protected]!
Nothing to do with sensorship. The android operating system is very new. Suppost for other types of files will come later, along with more features.
Look at bluetooth. You only have bluetooth headset support. Its not locked, other forms of bluetooth communication will be made availible as updates come out.
The browser wont download not because google is saying no, but becuase theres nothing that can use that file type. Whats the point of downloading if you cant open it.
Actually agree. This OS is still very new and only been in existance for a little over a year and development is still in the infancy stage. Give it a little awhile when the ball gets really rolling, then maybe we can soon start to enjoy Android a whole lot more.
CABinet files are for Microsoft.... so why the heck would you want to download anyway?
You can't install Windows Mobile apps on the Android...

... idiots.
Not sure how it is censorship or blatant BS. Think about it when you download something on your actual computer and the file type is not supported it asks you how to open it. On firefox it asks you what you wanna do. This makes perfect sense. Especially seeing as they are still working on the OS.
How do i get the unlocked emulator for visual studios 2010
what i've done so far:
downloaded WM70C1.zip
i tried to uzip it but my computer won't
so then i tried to rename it to .bin and placed it im my sdk images folder and renamed the old image WM70C1_old.bin but that didn't work.
did i download the wrong thing?
i've been working from this article http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2010/03...-emulator-download-the-unlocked-bin-file.html
has anybody else tried it the same way and it worked?
what are some other methods of running the winmo 7 emulator?
thank you for your time and response
Lets pretend you have a working setup of the developer tools for running a Windows Phone 7 application from Visual Studio 2010 or Expression Blend 4, and just need to replace the emulator.
If you downloaded the emulator from the said link you get a 72.2 MB zip file called WM70Full.zip which you have to unpack, and then you'll have a 75 MB file called WM70Full.bin
This you copy to the following path (for 64-bit users, else change the program files path): C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\WindowsPhone\v7.0\Emulation\Images
And then run your project from Visual Studio, or Expression Blend. It should now be using the unlocked emulator.
Just did it on my laptop a minute ago, and it works as expected. (I used Expression Blend to test it with). Proof: unlockedemu.png
I should perhaps add the unlocked emulator is even slower at starting up, so I wouldn't recommend using it for active development, unless you have a really really good reason to do so. Also remember the emulator is horrible slow if your computer don't support hardware visualization.
When you figured out how to make the above work, I'll recommend you to get the April release of the emulator, it's a bit newer, and have some more features you can play with.
well i guess the data corrupted last time, so i downloaded WM70FULL.zip again and followed the direction and it works fine. and your right, its ridiculous slow, but i didn't plan on developing apps i just wanted to play with it (although not much is even there to look at) thanks for the quick response
Download the April release then. (not sure if you saw my post update)
But yes, renaming a zip-package to .bin won't work very well ;-)
awsome! i'm downloading it now. i probably should have searched a little harder before posting. thanks again to your contributions
Found a windows mobile cab file that wouldn't run on an a dell axim x51v due to the resolution requirements. If somebody can port over this cab file to android, you can get free mobitv and free sirius xm. The trial has been disabled and there is no billing.

Yikes. Seriously?
yes,.. just PORT it over,.... Hey,.. did you try changing the file type to apk? JOKING
ROFL, forgot to rename the .cab to .apk
Oh dear
Seriously? This is really really funny.

I'm not one for closing threads, but can we please close this one? It's misleading and going to create merciless ridicule.
Long answer ...
Perhaps you are joking perhaps not but in the interest of those wondering ...
A WM cab is an installer containing (usually) a compiled executable program, written for an entirely different OS, WITHOUT the source code that was used to build it.
And Just in case you still don't get it, no source = no port. The only possibilities without src (that i know of) is 1. Complete rewrite or 2. something like WINE for android to run WM executables natively (WINE would likely be harder to achieve!!!) . (Ok and perhaps if written in. NET, you could de-compile to get a good chunk of the logic / math but the front end is still a rewrite)
Short answer...
Not possible.
Just open the .cab in notepad, and at the end of the file, add WorksOnAndroid=1, then rename the file to .apk. adb push to /system/app, or just install it via Astro or your favorite file manager. It's working great on Nexus, no idea if it will work on the G1 though, due to screen size differences.
install ubuntu for ARM on the sd-card, start and vnc into it, install virtualbox, install xp, run a windows mobile emulator, run your cab
you guys are assholes.....
It cannot be ported over from windows mobile sorry.

VirtualBox is virtualization software, not an emulator. VirtualBox will not run on ARM. From the VirtualBox about page: "VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware."
And I honestly don't think he was trolling. Some people just don't know.
Need to run two reader apps (two parallel texts for reading the original literature) on one screen. Two copies of the same program like Moon+ would be even more nice.
I'm fairly certain this is impossible as of now. Either their are no apps that can possibly come close to supporting this. Or, this it is merely a limitation of the current android operating system.
But for the record, this would be amazing and drool-worthy.
there's a UI system someone posted a while back that allows android to operate in a 3-viewport mode, where you have 1 big viewport, an 2 smaller viewports, each running a different app. and you can switch between them. there's also ixonos' thing...which is a windowed UI. i personally prefer the former, because it wastes less real-estate.
neither of them are available atm, but they will soon.
although i don't think you can run multiple instances of the same app.
oh yea, the adam ink has a multi-pane launcher as well, which works just like the first one i described, and that's already available...although it doesn't seem like it's very good.
either way though, android, and especially honeycomb is capable of multi-tasking, i think it's just a question of ui issues, and everyone is trying to find the best presentation for such a function.

^I think you're talking about Onskreen's Cornerstone:
http://onskreen.com/
Looks promising but I think they're only shopping it to OEMs at the moment.
Yea, that would be a killer feature. Maemo Os does it beautifully, why can't android ?
+1 to this. Multiple windows in Android would be a very attractive feature.

Yes, thats what I found lately, but it's not available as .apk anywhere.
Need something reliable and easy to work with.
how to install UBUNTU in dual boot mode on Asus Eee Pad transformer
Hi,
Thanks a loto for your thread about Ubuntu on Android .
I just unrooted my Asus eee pad transformer and I want to use in dual boot with first O.S Android and second Ubuntu.
I download from internet the following folder zipped:
linux-flash-kit.tar.gz
Ubuntu.img
But I don't Know how to go on, could you help me?
At the moment I download in MicroSD memory ( 16 gb) Ubuntu .img and into " linux-flash-kit.tar.gz" I can see file like "flash-linux-android.sh".
Now I confused because on the web I can see a lot of information but, for example, in this last folder I can see only to start on ubuntu ( desktop) but on other topic I can see using APX mode on Windows but They use others files.
Could YOu help me to understand where I have to paste files and where i Can start installation?
Thanks a lot for your help.
I would be happy if there was just a file manager that had multiple windows for copying and pasting. I'm sure that could be done.

Have you had a look at Total Commander for Android ?
It's an official android port of the classic two-pane file manager that and works great on the Transformer.

(This post is useful as well as it details how to give the program full root access so you can even use it in place of something like Root Explorer

So this may be a little annoying to some members because there are probably threads out there somewhere however, I am new to this website (friend suggested it) and i am new to android and xperia play.
So i'm a little miffed at the lack of serious ps1 titles on it and i was hoping Sony would release more now that the tablets are out and using the same software but they aren't.
Is there anyone who could explain in clear steps as i am a technical noob and have no idea what i am doing with this phone, how to get ps1 emulators/roms to work well?
I've read about FPse and such but i have no idea how to work it or how to make sure it runs games properly. So i wouldn't wanna pay for it and then not know how to use it.
Any help would be really grateful.
Thanks
FPSE is really simple.
1) Extract the BIOS from your PSX (it's illegal to download them...).
2) Extract the ISOs from the disks of the PSX games you own (it's illegal to download them...).
3) Install FPSE and put the BIOS file and the ISO you want to play inside your SDCard.
4) Run FPSE. It will ask you for the BIOS you've ripped. Go to the folder where you've extracted it using the program's file manager, and click on the BIOS file.
5) Now you can do the same procedure to select the ISO you want to play. You have different options to configure the emulator to your liking.
6) Get an idea of what you're doing to your phone. No one is going to spoon feed you everything.
Hey, thanks for the reply and I appreciate it.
I own the majority of ps1 games that I want to play so I can just
rip those using imageburn right?
I dont expect to get spoon fed anything but as im still relatively
new to my phone I also wouldnt want to install an app or mess
with settings without knowing the right way to go about it.
Again thank you for the steps, will use these when trying it out.
Is it true that multiple disc titles run into problems though when disc switching?
Not on fpse. There is a handy Eject button so you can pop in the new disc as you need it.
