Developing Apps for WM2003SE Phone Edition - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi everybody,
I'm a newbie and ask therefore a newbie question! What do I precisely need from M$ to develop applications for my Magician and similars?
My list is:
1)eVC 4.0 (latest SP)
2)WM2003SE SDK (for Smartphones or for PocketPC??)
am I right here? where is the simulator?
Thanks

you're right
and the sim is inside Vc

SDK for PPC; smartphones is only for smartphones!
If you can get it, "MSDN" is also useful to install, but it's all available online easily enough.

HOWTO start MIDP Application development - some questions ..

Hey guys,
Currently I am Java programmer (applications and applets for PCs), but I want to try something new, and so I am instersted in developing apps for cellphones. Hope you can answer my questions:
1) MIDP 2.0 does support animated gifs and allows me to access the phones memory (for loading files) when the phone supports this, right? Whats the name of the API that allows me to access the phones memory?
2) Whats the best free development platform for MIDP 2.0 at the moment? Currently I use Eclipse, but I guess I need something else for mobile development.
3) Are there any websites with tutorials that give me a lil introduction to MIDP? Any links are welcome.
Just started to look at this myself, though not fully understanding it yet, managed to get a MIDP helloworld class compiled and .jar created just using javac / command line so far, but haven't managed to get it working on the device yet, need to look into preverifying so i'm told.
2) J2ME toolkit perhaps, free with registration on java.sun.com, explanation of it is in the link in reply (3), might be worth a look first to see if it's what you're after.
3) http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/W-P/ce/networking/article.php/c7911/
If anyone has any further info, please respond.

Android on Himalaya??

Hi !
Based on this : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Xanadux
What d u think, is it possible to have Android on our Himalaya device??
For those who doesnt know Android: http://code.google.com/android/index.html
As i do understand from the existing infos (google forums and the wiki above) if somebody smart enough may run NOW the Android on hima...
Am i right, am i wrong or am i just dreaming??
whoa!!! 10 million dollars?! that's fantastic!
I am waiting the good news from the master of HIMA
The official facts say:
Will ANDROID run on (insert phone here)? No.
Having said that, the OS is based on open source linux and the programs on java. The hima can already handle java apps, so that is one step in the right direction.
As for the os, linux on a hima might be a bit different (yes I am aware of the above mentioned hima linux os). It really all depends if they tailor the code to upcoming phones and backwards compatible or just for upcoming phones.
There facts section suggests the latter.
SymbianOS ?
Hi folks,
and what about SymbianOS ? I read an official statement from 2001 that Symbian and Intel concluded a cooperation agreement about the port of Symbian OS to StrongARM/XScale ...
The statement (german) :
http://www.tecchannel.de/news/themen/business/408982/
So long
HonkBB
does it only run java progs ?
judging from the speed diff between .net and java apps on wm
compared to native progs
that would be pretty slow

Google's Android on Magician !

Hi all,
Just read an artice on the hack of Google's impressive Android mobile OS. Hackers have used files from the emulator and installed the OS on some Linux phones. I was just thinking that there was a post on this forum saying that Linux could be Installed on Magician. Also Android uses Linux's kernal. So why not give Android a try. Would be great to use the new Android on Magician.
Any clues on how to proceed with the Installation ?
Is it really? I listen about porting on only Linux-PDA but Magican isn't Linux-PDA.
Of course, Android can run on the Magician, BUT never forget that you need drivers for the device - even for Linux!
And that's the problem: if you don't have any information about the chipset etc you will need month or even years to develop them.
If you want to run Linux on the Magician, there is already a project which try to develop drivers for Linux. Last time I read from their progress Linux runs on the Magician with the possibility to use the phone (but no GPRS)...
Use the search if you are interested;-)

It is http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Magician , isn't it?
So If Linux can be installed, then Android can also be installed. Because it supports all Linux compatible devices according to the hack.
For the DRIVER part, pls check the official Android website-
http://code.google.com/android/
and let us know. Waiting for your reply...
Thanks!
Peoples - a hve WORKING linux on my HTC magician.
name is Angstorm with GUi OpenMoko.
Work - tochscreen,Sound,GSM,blootuth.
thet meens - drivers are exist and work
Can anybody say, where i can download Google's Androuid for ANY platform ?
I'm Find =) Android For Zaurus
it seems to me, For using rootfs on magician we mast change drivers in it
http://www.omegamoon.com/blog/static.php?page=ZaurusAndroid
As me say one man, it takes compiling magican's drivers using Google android SDK.
Some useful links

Немного о портировании для OMAP -> http://elinux.org/Android_on_OMAP
Sory for my English =)
does anyone know how to actually download the Android platform? regardless of phone model or drivers? or is it just included in the SDK and you gotta compile it yourself? If I can somehow get my hands on a copy of the image I'll probably end up spending the next 3 weeks trying to flash it natively into the ROM
The Android sources can found on this page: http://code.google.com/p/android/downloads/list
It is only kernel. Without drivers.
Found a new article for search on "Android on HTC", got this:
Android Kernel Found, Android on HTC Kaiser imminent
It says, that the kernal works only on MSM7200A chipset for now.
Take a look, link: http://fandroid.net/content/android-kernel-found-android-htc-kaiser-imminent
what i cannot understand is:
if there is an working linux kernel (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianXanadux) than android should be executable also!?
All necessary driviers shold be available.
So why should it be impossible to have a running android on a Magician?
cheers
aitsch
p.s.: the Magician is a very fast device. maybe android is running well on it.
UPDATE: Google has released a new version of Android, v0.9
Any updates on running Andriod on Magician ?
I could run Linux (Openmoko) successfully.
