[APP] Winmerge for Windows RT - Windows RT Development and Hacking

All,
Please find the attached Windows RT native binaries for Winmerge 2.12.4. Winmerge is an awesome diff/merge tool.
http://winmerge.org/
I'm not overly thrilled about this port and it was a bit dirty/hacky. I'm expecting all the functionality to work.. but please post any issues you find here. I haven't yet ported the shell extension.
I'll probably take a stab at porting the newer version and clean things up at the same time if there is a desire for it. Version 3 is going to be Qt based.. so maybe I'll just wait for that instead.
Cheers!

Dude (or equivalent gender-neutral term), you are a porting BEAST! Much appreciated. One can always use a good comparison tool.

Ha! Dude works just fine .
Thanks man. Winmerge was particularly annoying due to the MFC issues and its sheer size. Good fun though!

Very soon... TNT.20273 Series ((TNT BACK))

Hi,
Sorry for last period, I was very busy for my graduation and after graduation I got some free time to give you something new.
Many of users sent me PMs and asked me about new release (thanks for them)... so I started porting SYS and XIP from latest official release from Diamond which is 5.2.20273. I finished every thing, but need some time to do last touches and checks before releasing.
I just want to tell you that, there is new edition which is HTC Home free just for those users feel good with SPB Shell (I'm one of them).
So, keep in touch to download the latest TNT build.
See you tomorrow .
thank you!
OMFG thank you Its Right!
Have you got some previews for us? OWWW can't wait!!! What do you mean with very soon

KkK..i know that is not fair start to complain, but WHYY HTC HOME FREE =~~
it's one of best htc apps, and don't ask me why, but if you install it after flash a rom don't have the same "benchmark" as a build one.
but ok, we can live with only one tnt slim version ;P
ah, btw don't forget to check the internet sharing problem.
i think it's it...cannot wait for the next release!!
With that benchmark ist's right...
so here is my question:
is there a possibility to get Vanilla with builded in HTC Home?
Great news,my brother
we are waiting for that release will u use diamond themes or still keeping TNT themes?
HTC home isn't very good so it will be good to make it uninstallable

Its is a choice, while Profesional version like before with HTC Home.
About Internet sharing, I can't test but it should be fixed in case of base rom caused that (we will see).

I will do it if I can, but really you have to test SPB Shell 2.1.1 (latest) and apply Diamond themes .

TNT design with just the today skin from Diamond (I don't prefer Diamond skins unless the device with VGA screen )
HTC Home will be available in prof version.
Can we expect a Kitchen ?
Can we expect a Kitchen from this so we can at least cook HTC Home into the build if possible ?
Also Thanks for the effort. I have tried to port it myself but the documentation on porting roms seems to be very lacking. Is there any good read you can reccomend?
Great to see that you are porting this. Hope that you will eventualy post kitchen, for those of us who want to make our own additions. (I'm not the biggest fan of your app choices , but your vanilla, like mosky said, doesnt have chocolate on top )

ZERO.
It is the original camera 3.3 exe with modified graphics.
as I saw in your 209 kitchen you realized that the graphic files in the package are useless. they are imbeded into the exe itself. I just changed them. The version I posted is not compressed, while the version Molski posted I havent tested yet (it is already cooked into my rom, why add more kb.?)
I know that the one I posted works.
also, while taking appart the reasourses, I noticed that the rgu's we have inhibit camera's functions. there are graphics in there that we never see. most likely, because HTC did not think we needed them in this device.
You can use reasource hacker to view the file, but you have to unsign it in order to edit it. otherwize it will not work upon saving.

great work on this guys.
Well... Someone gave me the Key for this one. But I have my own key from my own CD of Windows 98. But the key of this one I think is from the internet, but anyways this ver. Of Windows is outdated, so I can use it without any purpose of sell or anything so is all ok.
Just wanted to say, this popped up on Portal and absolutely made my day. I'll now fix the screen on my Pre Plus just to play with this! You are a champion Travis and people like you make this forum awesome.
As a token of my gratitude, I can provide you with a genuine (legal; legitimate) Retail key for Windows 98SE or ME if you need them.
Thanks again for making my day Champ!
Awesome work. Looking forward to Win98 as I have a key from years ago. I'm looking forward to you bringing this to the Pre minus. And here I thought I would have no use for my old pre besides a wifi device!

I am starting a new project to port webOS over to the iPhone 3G 3GS and 4.
I have a website where i will be posting updates with project info. Also I am looking for someone with Linux experience as i have only a Windows 7 PC.
I need about 3 more people to help me with this.
Any takers?

So you have a website, a blog, a webOS phone and an iPhone. That's a pretty unique skillset. I wonder why no-one with that set of things tried to port webOS to the iPhone before? Once you've got that skillset the rest must be pretty straight-forward, no?
BTW, you can get links to download the webOS firmware from HP's official servers here: http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Webos_Doctor_Versions
Note that redistributing it (or any modifications of it) is illegal, so you may want to figure out that small issue first in your project plan ...
Good luck with your endeavour.
-- Rod
Are you being sarcastic, Rod? I suppose he deserves it by the know-how he puts forward. So if I get it right, he just has a website and wants others to develop and get the reward. Pretty nice business plan!
He also has a dream...the same one I have but I have an EVO 3d... Which I think should be easier...
Rod I was thinking can't it be done part way like webpage 2.1 on pre- using meta scripts?

Thanks very much for your offer.
Unfortunately, none of our developers use a Pre- these days for anything other than webOS 1.4.5 legacy testing.
I'm personally using a 1.4GHz 16GB HP Pre 3.
-- Rod
I dont get the point of it. Iphones are expensive and run unique hardware only made by apple. With that expense comes the seamless apple experience ,decent reliability and the proprietary is operating system. If your going to throw all that away,why even pay for the iphone to begin with. Their hardware is really no better than the stuff from htc. Htc hardware on the other hand is well understood and in fact,is very similar to the hardware in the touchpad.
Personally,I dont see the point of webOS on anything now. It honestly has few game changing features. What it does have is a unique UI that many people like. Rather than port webOS to other platforms,why not make a UI for android that takes the best things from webOS and throws out the bad ones,and fixes what needs to be fixed. Then you have something
really great,with a great UI,the ability to run android aps,but without many of the drawbacks of android.
As for your project,I doubt you will get any takers. What I suggest is you simply learn to do the work yourself. Start by downloading a Linux distro and installed it on an old pc.

ROM Development Guide?

Remember about a month ago when XDA came out with a book about rooting and flashing ROMs?
I was just wondering if there were any books (or guides maybe) like that, that showed how to make ROMs from scratch, not through all of these annoying kitchens. (Don't really like them, they make me feel like a noob... of course I suppose I am)
So whatever, that's really about it. Thanks guys!
(Oh by the way, I have tried Nero's ROM guide and wasn't a huge fan, also I'm getting another computer solely for the purpose of Ubuntu too if that matters at all.)

Pretty awesome, never heard of Lubuntu before now. I'd consider it, but any recent tutorials I've looked at use Ubuntu. (Sadly though, they're ridiculous! For example, there was a post about compiling Jelly Bean from source code, and its practically not even in English! I mean I know some coding and all, but despite that, nothing is explained. It just do this like "do this and then do this and this and then we're done. An don't worry, there won't be a troubleshooting page because we know all you out there are experts.)
Whatever, that's my rant. Hopefully a mod will come along some time soon and point us in the right direction. Fingers crossed. :highfive:

Lubuntu is basically a lighter version of Ubuntu, still runs on the same principles as in version number etc. I understand your frustration with regards to where to find "how to" code, but, my view on tutorials is exactly that where aspects of what you're supposed to be doing are not explained. I think we need to be looking into another category for books, e.g. a coding practice used for android. See what happens
Yeah I suppose you're right. Off to Google/Amazon!
(of course if anyone sees this and would still like to post, by all means, do so!)
EDIT: After a god half an hour of searching, I think I finally found it. The problem is, you're gonna need $50 if you want to snag it.
http://www.amazon.com/Android-Foren...-Security/dp/1597496510/ref=cm_cr_dp_asin_lnk
It is by far the most in detail book I've seen. Just look at the overview of the chapters! It's just like what I was looking for! Woohoo!
Oh man $50. Hard being a broke student.
I would love to learn to. Anyone can tell me where to start? What languages i need to learn (java, linux, c++, etc)?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If your tomato just so happens to be running a version of android that can support the Kindle app, you can actually get it for about $40 too...
And while I'm not an expert in this field (in fact I really don't know too much) I do know that android uses java and converts it to another language using the dalvik machine. So if you really have no where to start, try learning some java.

This is a great guide thanks
Thanks, good guide !
That book looks more related to security than anything else. Anything for development in particular?
If you look at the insides though, it shows how to create the internals, with step by step pieces. Chapter 7 (I think) also has 6 popular methods to obtain root access.
Look at the sneak peek and read the summaries of the chapters. It's definitely going on my Christmas list.
EDIT: As for anything solely for development, I have yet to find anything like that. Hence the reason for posting this thread.
Well, my tomato can support kindle.
Anyway, great thread. Hope someone who can help us reads this and decides to help us further.

I don't know any code what so ever. What's a good book, website, source to begin lear

And what language should I try to familiarize myself with first? Where do I go from there?
I aspire to work on ROMs one day, and even develop apps.
To be honest, I've also got ****ty computers and are too slow to work with, does anyone recommend getting a new laptop?
I'm probably going to need to be using something along the Unix, so will it be advisable to get a Mac or just stick with Windows and install Ubuntu?
(Sorry for not knowing as much as everyone else.)
I would be grateful towards any replies!

Hello @narsciso
Its great to see another individual taking an opportunity on learning more about Android development.
I would recommend you getting a new laptop or desktop as some developing programs are RAM hungry. Though they should still work.
Building ROMs from source - To be able to build ROMs from source you'll need to learn allot about Android, ive never attempted this so I can't help you here. But don't worry, there are plenty of guides here on xda that'll get you set up with a Linux distro and a workstation that will lead you to compile your first ROM from source. Just use the search function.
Modifying ROMs, ROMs can be modified using windows so you wouldn't need a Linux Distro to be able to achieve this. Again there are plenty of guides and useful resources that can get out started, just use the search function.
Building apps from source - Building apps isn't all that hard to be able to achieve this. You will need to set up a environment. You can do so by going to the android developer site and you can start by downloading their SDK Pack. This contains vital files that will get you started. Also includes Eclipse studio (Application Creator).
Another info on android app development is that its based on Java. So I suggest you learn Java coding as others won't be as helpful. But no need to stress over this, Java is straight forward and its easy to pick up.
Modifying apps, you can achieve this by using apk decompilers (this can be done on Linux and windows) you can decompile the app and make changes within the work folder.
You can use the source code of an app (contains functions and commands) to build an app on eclipse.
The apk itself just contains the layout and looks. The src contains vital info for the app to run right.
I would have provided links but I am using my device. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks a lot Krishneel! (I actually had a buddy of that name in HS, he still needs to give my CD back lol!)
You have broken everything down fantastically. I'll get down to reading as much as I can about Java, all the while saving up for a new laptop. I'm real excited now. You've given me a lot of motivation and insight and I'm very thankful to you for that.
So should I go with a Mac or stick with Windows when looking for a new computer?
Thanks again!

No worries mate, there's a fantastic place to get started in java coding its called "codeacademy".
Its all up to you on the operating system bit. Here's a bit of information.
If you're planning on building ROMs from source Mac will work as its based on Linux as I have been told.
If you're planning to work just on apps and further your work into ROM dev later on, you can use Windows.
If you want to build from source on Windows you can do so by using a virtual machine to run a Linux Distro.
Note: when compile ROMs you need a good PC and the compiling process requires lots of time. Which means you'll need patience but assuming that you're only going to work on app development for now. I suggest Windows.
But its up to you on what you feel is the best the looks, price, design or durability.

If you find it hard to work with just learning Java, you can also refer to tutorials on YouTube. There are so many. And they're really helpful.
