Hi Guys. We have some custom programs that were written to run on Windows Mobile 6.5 devices. As it appears that 6.5 is at the end of its life span, we need to start considering our options.
Our source were written for the mobile .NET framework. I've done the research and know our 6.5 binaries wont be compatible with W7 Phone as its a very different beast.
Is the upgrade as simple as downloading an SDK and recompiling the sources ?
The next question would be, is there a Scanner Wedge type application available for W7 Phone ? Right now we use the Motorola DataWedge application to capture barcodes, which then parses the code as a keyboard input string.
While the binaries won't run on Phone 7, they will probably run on the impending release of Windows Embedded Compact 7. This is the continuation of Windows Mobile for data capture machines and the like.

As the Platform Builder for this has only just been released, it will take a short while for devices to appear that run it.

I assume Motorola's products will be the one of the first to use it.

On Enterprise handheld devices the OS lives on under new name:
Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5
Windows Embedded Handheld 7
I want to Install Windows 8 on my Notebook. Before installing i have a question. Can Windows 7 programs or WP7 app runs on Windows 8?
Almost all Windows 7 applications work in Windows 8's Desktop environment. Some tools that alter the system at low level might have issues. I've currently not run into any problems.
Windows 8 can't run WP7 apps. It only supports Metro Style Applications built atop WinRT. These are similar to the model of WP7 App development but Developers have to port the to the newer system (which makes a lot of sense because blowing up a Smartphone App to a 12"+ Display just isn't all that usable).
Morning everyone!
I recently bought a Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, and noticed that under information, it states the NAV system runs Microsoft Windows Automotive.
I did some recon, and found that this is a stipped down version of Windows CE? I've tried searching to see if anyone has done any hacking, I've seen a few basic mods/hacks, but nothing crazy like the stuff xda-devs push out...
Just wondering if there's been any work done on this? Any cool hacks?
So, you want to "hack" Windows (Embedded) Automotive (7), which is part of Microsoft's Windows Embedded family? What do you mean with "hack"? Please specify.
There is not, and there will probably never be a "hacker" or "modder" scene around devices running Windows Automotive, as all the SDKs are closed to the public and only acessible to manufacturers who signed a deal with Microsoft. There is no way of really adding functionality to these systems for a hobbyist, and even if there was of course it would validate any and all warrantys on the device.

I was just wondering if any work had maybe been done. I'm not familiar with the OS as you can tell. But from my previous experience in the Windows Mobile land and some hacking I've seen in the past on devices that ran CE I was just wondering if anything had been done...
I know there's been a few minor hacks and mods (re: interface changes, animations, pictures, voice prompts, map side-loading, etc...). But that's all I've read so far...

Windows Automotive is based on Windows Mobile, not on Windows CE. Perhaps 'unlockers' developped for Windows CE might do it, who knows?

I read that it runs a Windows CE kernel, also read that it uses a lot of stuff that Windows Mobile uses... Main interest would be to see if it's possible to load up a complete Windows GUI (like what people did for the HTC Shift)...
I have a cts-v as well and I'm hoping to play with the latest nav software update disc (2012) when I receive it tomorrow. I know some have converted it to usb so it doesn't take 2-3 hours to update your system. I'm also wanting to see if I can do some mods/hacks/tweaks to it just to play around. Can you point me in the right direction on the mods/tweaks you've read about? Of course I'd just like to start out with images/sounds/slash screen stuff first.

Wondering if anyone ever did anything with these... I just bought one myself in my '09 CTS-4 . You can remove the hard drive and image it to your local hard drive and I have seen where people have been able to access the files within. Since Windows Mobile Auto is related to Windows mobile you should be able to use some of the same tools you would use with Windows Mobile. My understanding is that it is not a stripped down but a supped up version to support additional hardware and functionality. .Net code is byte code that is run by the runtime in standard windows and is easy to decode and reconstruct the source code. I am guessing windows Mobile is similar. You should be able to reconstruct enough that you can use the standard .DLL from windows mobile auto in a regular windows mobile development environment then just copy the finished file over... In theory anyhow... I have seen information that it may require signing but I am not sure that signing was necessary with Windows Mobile 5. I will be tearing apart my new NAV system before I install it to see what I can access in it.
Did you find anything? I'm looking to "hack" my 2011 Fusion Sport w/ Nav. Runs on similar platform based on my research.
