HELP!! Developer needed!!! - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi all,
I am looking for someone to get involved in the development of SMS Minder, as I don't have all the time I wish to give to it at the moment.
The first thing that needs to be done is to get a Windows Mobile Standard 6 version created, full source code from the Professional version will be given.
At the moment, the Professional version works, but there are increasingly more people that wish to have this running on their Standard devices.
Reply here or drop me an email at: [email protected] to get involved.
If you haven't seen SMS Minder and wish to have a play about, have a look in my sig.
Thanks in advance!

Fonts/Language Support for XDA2

Hi there,
As with some I am new to the world of XDA. I never new this kind of subculture existed!
Firstly thank you to the volunteers who have put a lot of effort in to getting a site like this up and running! Well done.
I should get to my point now...has anyone got a comprehensive list of characters/fonts the XDA2 can display. I have checked the official pages, and also the XDA itself but I am pretty dissapointed with the level of support. I surf lots of pages and also communicate in a number of languages namely Eng/Jap/Kor. But I cannot find any patch to enable display of these languages?
Asking the offical support sites gets the usual response of "We are thinking about it, but have nothing in the pipeline".
This is very frustrating.
If anyone knows when/where I can get this kind of patch I/we would be mutually greatful.
Cheers
Mebius

SMS Fun Tool

Hi everybody. When I write SMS with my girlfriend I sometimes mess with the text. For example I write the text down on a paper and writh it backwards like:
Hi sweetheart. I just wanted to say that I stay here one more day. I love you --->
ouy evol I. yad erom eno ereh yats I taht yas ot detnaw tsuj I. traehteews ih.
So that she has to read it from the end.
Unfortunatly I am not a programmer. Could anybody write a tool that can mirro an sms text please. Then it would be easier. No need of paper anylonger.
And if anybody else has more funny ideas it could end up in a fun sms tool.
Thanks alot.
Greets Alex
oh yeah great fun. I suggest you ask your girlfriend to look at the phone facing a mirror and read the text from the mirror image. Just joking no offince There are serious issues which need to be resolved with XDA2 SMS before we can make fun out of it.
Kufi, have you really thinked on what you said ? did you try the mirror ? was the same effect ?
Alex, if i have some time, i'll write a simple app to do it in the next days and post it here
regards
Hey Hbatista! Sounds great!
Thank you very much!
@ kufi if you turn your display off you get a mirror
Alex
loooool guys, you are wonderful! I tried the mirror but what I saw was the ugly me..
here's your tool with source code
Glad that good humour still persists!
Here's your app. I'm including source code and a ARM cab to do the installation. You should copy the cab and dat file to your device and proceed to installation.
Hope it helps
regards!
talking about good humor..
I included in the about box a small credit to Kuffi!
Hi hbatista! Thank you very much for your cool tool.
A copy function would be cool though. Because then I could copy any text into a sms or mms using the normal tools which also stire the send messages.
And... Nice Mirror Pic Man!!
Thanks.
Alex
right away!
no problem!
here's the new version with a copy/paste menu!
Thanks Man.
Really nice one.
Alex
Now I get an error:
MirrorSms.exe
MissingMethodException
Application::Run+0xf
frmSendMirrorSms:Main+0xa
Is anything else exept the files you attached needed to run it properly?
Alex
sorry!
yep.. I only tested it on emulator, and I don't know why the opennetcf is not being correctly installed...
this new version is working...
Now another funny thing. Does anybody remeber these secred languages form childhood? We were about 5 children and we had such a language training it for weeks. At the end we were really fluent and nobody could understand us. My sister and I still use this language for fun every now and then.
Now we could transfair this to SMS.
For example: Iluvi aluvam coluvomiluving laluvateluver.
which means: I a m co mi ng la te r
I am coming later.
The rule is: After each vowel you put luv and then repeat the vowel if there are more vowels in a row like ea you take all of them and put luv there like ealuvea.
Do you like my suggestion?
Any other ideas?
Alex
lol
well, and what about random ? :lol:
the source code is there, so any other posters can change it. now i have to come back to my vehicle tracking system
Thanks anyway.
Very nice tool
Greets
Alex
phonenumber?
Do you need to type the phone number in by hand? I don't know any phonenumber nowadays ...
Copy/paste doesn't seem to work in that field

contacts integration only available at commercial release
(read this post title) :lol:
I'm just kidding.
Well, integration with contacts will be a little more difficult. There is no library to do it in the language i used.
Even the clipboard integration was more difficult than sending the sms (can u imagine ?), because compact framework does not support CE clipboard.
I'm not fluent in eC++, but maybe other posters can do it...
Although, if i have some time i will do it...
regards
Hello hbatista,
I'm trying to find a simple programming language to program small nice functions for my Qtec. can you suggest an affordable language ?
thanks
See OpenNetCF
Hi Abalgir
Right now, the best choice would be eC++ (embedded visual c), but for someone initiating, it could be complicated. You can also choose embedded visual basic (eVB).
Although, Microsoft operating systems are migrating to "Managed code" and .net technologies. This means that you should start thinking on using .net to program the devices. In .net you can choose your favorite language, like c# or vb.net, but i prefer c#.
With .net compact framework, you can do a lot of things, but some core fiunctionalities are still not available, but you can use something like OpenNetCF (see www.opennetcf.org) to do core things like sendsms, etc
hope it helps

[CLOSED][Samsung SCH-i760 ROM] What would be best???

*THIS "PROJECT" IS CLOSED ON MY PART!*
If you wish to still follow this, please visit the below link, I believe alquimista and some other folks are still giving this a try.​

Samsung SCH-i760 ROM
**UPDATE 03/10/08**​
I have found some useful tools to help me accomplish this, but still have some things left to find. Any help would be awesome, first I need a way to find what I can remove (useless files that take up space) and most importantly where I should to start to make this work. I'm pretty sure the forums will be closed later today, so if you could email if your able to assist me I would appreciate it!
What do you think?​
Hey everybody, I've been browsing this forum numerous times in the past couple of weeks looking to customize my i760 and haven't found much on it for upgrading it's performance. It seems that not many users have this phone, so I'm thinking of creating a ROM for this device.
It will probably take me some time, being this will be my first time creating anything for a PPC.
I'm asking for some help for this:
a) From fellow i760 users to get some input on what might be the best items for the ROM.
b) Also from advanced users on the best way to approach this creation.
All help will be very much appreciated.
I'd like to have some contribution to this forum, seeing how my phone has been completely customized from developers on this site. Big Thanks to all of you out there whos software I am using! You all have done a great job, I appreciate your time and hard work for it.
What are your all's thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance.
Any question you can email me @ jtisr241 @ aim dot com.

I had the i760. I got rid of it because of the lack or roms.
And Your are right there are no roms out there, its not because people dont have it, but its something with the way Samsung makes their roms. It's not as flexible with as the HTC devices.
Thanks for the info, I still have a ton of research to do before I look into the development, I'll keep that in mind hopefully I can find a way around it.

I'm not sure what compatibility the ROM will have, another thing I'm learning.
I would love to see a rom that does not include the d-day and all the get it now and vzw branded software there under WM6.1 with the threaded MMS of 6.1 and the Palm threaded SMS. But, that is just a pipe dream, so I will settle for just a software update.
Thank you for your effort sir.

Thanks, that's what I hear, hopefully once I figure out all the odds and ends to ROM's I can better understand how this is configured.
I second the vote for a rom that does not have the "extra" garbage including that useless picsel browser thing. An end button deactivator (comes in handy to "accidentally" hang up on the wife, but most of the time it's a pain in the ass), a built-in S2U2-like app, built-in touchscreen inteface (ifonz-like I guess). Overclocking.
Overall better memory use, power use, touchscreen use, end deactivator (tried AE, it hated my i760!!)
Update: Oh you know what I'd really like to see - one touch access to contacts, then particular category. The thing I miss most from my cell phone is pressing one button which calls up MY contact list, not the thousands of contact in Outlook. So to recap press a soft key, get the personal contacts list category.
what is the good word?
yea there's def. not a ton of support for the i760; but i've heard that there will be an update to wm6.1 for it so that should satisfy alot of us owners if its true
I hope theres a 6.1 Rom!!
I hear there is and Verizon will have it for download for the i760 on there web site when they finish there part of it.

760 for High speed Internet Bluetooth connection
Hey does anyone have any luck using the 760 as a celluar modem? I am using PDANet to open the profile and I connect without issue but I can only stay connected for a very short time usually less then one minute.
I have also been all over this site and I am looking for a ROM and there does not seem to be much of anything available for this device. Has anyone had any success with the ROM or any update that would let me use this device reliably with my laptop. I am not sure if it is Verizon or a setting on the phone but it is killing me.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Todd
I just ordered a i760 so i can help.
i say no iphone interface, its not that good i dont see why people want to copy it.
Alright, it seems there won't be an update anytime soon from Verizon, so I'll try to get something accomplished here, it seems all I do is work sometimes. Anyways, I'm still messing with apps and plugins to see what I want to build here. As soon as I can figure which I want I'll post the news.
Any suggestions on what should be included?

i760 Rom Dump
@ TheChampJT
I've been watching this thread for a bit now. At the same time I have been digging deep into my i760.
I was finally able to use itsutils (from here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/tools.html ) to run the following commands without errors:
pdocread
pmemmap
pmemdump 0x80000000 0x02000000 rom.nb
That last one gave me a 32Mb file obviously titled "rom.nb". I was feeling all uber l33t until I realized I have no clue what to do now. I am trying to decompile the file I dumped with the perl script that Willem (aka itsme) posted on his RAPI tools site. I am trying to compile the perl script in WinXP, because that's the OS I dumped the rom.nb file with. Should I boot into linux (fedora 8 or Backtrack3beta is all I got) to run the perl script? I haven't tried much of anything with it yet because I just dumped the rom.nb file late last night. However, any advice would be much appreciated.
I think my i760 is CID unlocked, because the first time I tried to run pdocread I got an error that said "Have you CID or application unlocked your device?". When I was able to run pdocread, I assumed I had somehow CID unlocked my device. But I have no way to tell for sure whether its CID unlocked or not. Its not like there's a popup window on the i760 that says "You've CID unlocked you device!!" So that's my second question, how do I know if I CID unlocked my device?
I've been hacking away at this for a solid 12days now Well, more like a month or so. I always peek into my new toy's registry as soon as I get it and make a few changes here and there to see what happens. I've run the Windows Mobile Security Configuration Tool and set my profile's security to "off". I made some changes to the reg entries under the policies entry. I've also done the whole **33284 then set to DM then reboot and set data connection to Modem Through USB, connected my i760 and installed the drivers for the Samsung modem in that mode (they are different from the MCCI drivers and modem set up). As you can probably tell, I operate on a "try a small hack, then see what happens, repeat" basis.
So that's where I'm at right now. Probably TMI for you, or anyone else reading this, but I am trying to put out as much info/knowledge as I can.
Obviously I am willing to help get a working, easy to use, cooked rom. Let me know if you want any of the files I have pulled off my device or any of the tools or dll's that I have found on the web, or any of the print outs I got from the itsutils cmd line tools.
Ta Then,
Alqui
You can PM me here at XDA or over at PDAPhoneHome, that is unless you think I'm a total ****tard, then don't PM me anywhere.
T9 for the front.

[dev] "fake call" freeware [coding]

Attention:
The Release is Here
I do alot of skinning but finally decided to jump in and try and actually create my own program, and i need a little help
Some of you may be familiar with trinket softwares "fake call." If not you can do a quick read up with this link.....
http://www.trinketsoftware.com/FakeCall/
I am in the middle of developing something similar but a freeware version (if you didn't know the software isn't freeware any longer) I had put a very basic but working program together in basic4ppc, i then found out i had to buy the software to compile the program. Since i already own visual studio 2008 i decided i would go ahead and try to rewrite my program in vs.
I have completed my design, but i need help with the code....
i need a help with-
"sound" - i obviously need to be able to play sound, i have looked in ms help in vs and they provide some keywords but i am getting errors when i debug.....
-how to load images from an xml file- (in need code for the call)
These will all get me rolling and allow me to release a beta......
I'm getting closer and closer
Because everyone has a different dialer or "incoming call screen," i have decided the best way to go about your fake call is to allow people to select a screen shot and a sound of their choice, creating a very customized realistic experience for every phone (as it would look just like the dialer on your phone) without having to input an obsessive amount of information. (caller name, picture, ect..)
thanks for your help in advanced
THANKS TO-
MRABIE
Attention:
The Release is Here
Wow, this is great. Ya, since fake call is no longer free this is a very amazing idea. I know a lot of people here will help you. We just have to wait. =)
Great idea, I downloaded that app a while ago when it was posted and was rather disappointed to find out it was fake freeware. A couple of suggestions, the aforementioned app would use the default ringer. The suggestion seems pretty simple from a logistics point of view but may be more difficult to program than I would imagine, when selecting a person with a ringer other than default associated use that one. Maybe have a call timer that will stay up and count until the end button is tapped. Hope this helps.
I didn't realize that the other software had gone commercial. Thanks for stepping up!!
bump............
What programming language are you using, considering Visual Studio supports several.
In vb.net your Wait method could be replaced by Sleep(milliseconds). Documentation. I am not sure, however, it this method is included in the compact framework, assuming that's the one you are using. Hope this helps somehow.
Full .Net documentation can be found here.
I am using .net but may consider rewriting again later after getting a release to rid the program of dependacy on the .net framework.
I Have updated the list, as i have gotten some stuff already figured out thanks to different people on the forums, THANK YOU
If you guys can help me out with this other stuff it would be greatly appreciated

thanks for posting.
just as a reference, there's something called DOWNCALL which is free and simple.
edit: my bad, this calls someone at a scheduled time.. doesn't fake a call.
this is nice of trinket but will only last until the 24, and is really only supposed to be for our webpage.
UPDATE:
i'm working on xml now
still need help with sound
did this die out or is it still in development?

APP request - grol testing software for windows mobile

Hello everyone. I am a second year electronics student and am now working for my General Radiotelephone Operator License (GROL). I am looking at having to memorize the answers to just under 700 questions. Its rather tough lol. The reason I am here is simple. I have searched and searched and have not found any software for my touch pro that will help me study for this test. I don't know how to write programs but I know that many of you out there do a phenomenal job. I am looking for someone that would write a program for me that would quiz me on all the questions for the GROL. In fact I believe that if one where interested in making a few dollars he or she could go all out and make a program that creates a full exam from the test question pool, then watches which ones the user gets wrong and makes sure to ask them more often. It would also be cool if a pop up window came up explaining the proper answer. I also think it would be nice to have a screen at the end showing results. I know at first this seams daunting but I do have software that came with my book that is close to this and could send you a copy. Also, the entire question pool is listed on the fcc website. It wont let me post the link here but if you contact me by email i can find it for you.
The GROL only requires sections 1 and 3. The only other program similar was marked at $40.00 and for the pc. Nothing has been found for the PPC where it makes the most sense. During random downtimes a person can do a few random questions here and there. I believe that if made to look nice with a nice touch style interface someone could post this to windows marketplace and sell it for $20.00 easily and make some nice cash on it. I would learn to program and do it myself if it weren't for the fact that I am in class now and need it ASAP.
Thanks in advance for all that entertain the thought of taking this on

It's not exactly what you said, but maybe you can use SuperMemo UX & SuperMemo Mobile. It's free software, but you will need to build your own course.

I know this is an older post. And I knkw what you mean, and are talking about. I am changing career fields into Avionics, and a classmate has an app for his (cry)Phone. But in the Google Play Store, they have some, but they are expensive for what it is ($19.99 and $12.99). I can't find anything except crApple. Absolutely no Android. I can't even find anything where someone ported the CD that is in the book over to Android and other platforms. I have coppied the files from the CD to a folder on my computer called "GROL." So I didn't have to have the CD in my computer the whole time. I'm going to graduate at the end of this month, and I only have Element 1 done. Partly its my own fault for waiting until now. But either way, I'll have 3 & 8 done. But it would be nice if I could take the studying with me when I have life going on and not by my computer. Lol
Android surpassed crApple, and yet we still get kicked to the curb.
