Hi,
I'm looking for some tutorial or complete project, how can I run native app from Windows Mobile to Windows Phone 7.
I know, it's bad question, but why not.
In theory, you can make it happen. Cuz Windows Phone 7 is based on Windows CE 6.0/7.0 But actually MS has already removed some unneeded features of CE or WM. Although they use the same kernel,but you can't run it from WM to WP7 directly.

i was just wondering if it is possible to put Windows mobile on the Centro wich runs on the Palm OS by ACCESS 5.4.9.
I don't think older Palm devices have the capable hardware to run WM... could be wrong though.
Even if the hardware was capable of running the OS there is no chance of getting the drivers for this device so there is no way to put WM on it.
For any device to support windows mobile someone needs to write windows mobile drivers for every piece of hardware in that device.
there is a program that is call styletap it launcher you can run palm on window mobile it i expensive but it good
Styletap lets you run programs written for the Palm OS on a Windows Mobile device.
It will not let you install Windows Mobile on a Palm device!
Hi
I have an HTC Touch HD with Swedish Windows Mobile 6.1. I very much want to use the PIM program called Pocket Informant. But when I try to install it, I am told that my platform is not supported
Is there any way that I can still go ahead and install it? Or is there a great chance that it will not work, even if I should not be able to install it?
I am quite annoyed that I cannot easily replace my Swedish OS license and installation with an English one, but that's another discussion....
I guess my question merely is; Is there a tweak that can be carried out, to run English Windows Mobile programs on non-English installations? I don't know Windows Mobile that well, so I have no idea whether this would actually be possible.
On Windows based PC's, this works. So I thought it might be the same on Windows Mobile devices?
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?

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)
I have a question. Would it be possible to modify a windows mobile release to use the user interface from vanilla Windows CE. Desktop, desktop icons, start menu, etc? I know that all of the Windows Mobile releases use the Windows CE core. So I would assume that for the most part all the drivers and most applications would be compatible? I think it would be awesome to have a full desktop on my phone. The Ubuntu 8.04 port gave me the idea a few days ago.
Thanks in advance,

Moved as not ROM Development.
I know that i can run Android from my Windows Phone. But is it possible tu run Windows Mobile on Android phone? For example to run WM 6.5 on Desire?
If not so why?
don't believe so it's possible to run android on wm because android is opensource
wm is not so making it happen could take years
So we are not able to make drivers?
