I frequently use the distance measure tool on google earth to show me direction (degrees off North). It was be extremely usefull if I could use this from a mobile phone. I am considering buying a HTC HD2. Is google earth available for windows 6.5 operating system. (I have to use this for a software program for work, it isn't available on any other mobile operating system) I know that you can load android to the HTC HD2. Is this now reliable? Can you have both operating systems, without affecting the reliability of either system? Maybe I could run android as well, should google earth be available reliably for android? Advice greatly appreciated!

Hi guys, I have an HTC touch (sprint) and got a job with a air balancing company and they have software that links their ppc's to their server for live data entry. however the application is only available for the palm os. Does anyone know if installing multiple OS's on a phone is even possible, like installing linux on an ipod? or if not, any way to convert a palm os application to WM6 combatible application. If needed, i have the install files for my application, any assistance would be greatly appreciated. If nothing exists i would even consider payment for the application to be convtered if anyone is intrested.
Thank you
Matt
you would probably have to build the application up again from the ground up if its a native palm application, although, if its written in a common language, i dont see why it couldnt be ported over
somebody more knowledgable should be able to help you better
and welcome to xda-devs
you can use styletap to run palmOS apps on windows mobile, if this is what you want to do.
Well, im 50% there, styletap works great, im able to load the software and run it, no glitches yet, however styletap doesnt seem to be allowing the application to sync with my server. any1 have any ideas? i even tried first establishing a data conn in WM6 using IE and hopped back to style tap to sync again. no luck
Hi,
is there an I-Go version (the new release) that can run under the android OS??
in general is it possible in some way to run Windows Mobile Apps / Games under and Android OS?
If not, what is the solution???
Thanks...
I think the answer is no to both. There is no way to run Windows software under Android.
If you are looking for sat nav software, nav4all is free but supposedly a little unstable at the moment, Co-pilot is a pretty good paid-for option.
GPS programs
Are program fro android have maps for all of the world like I-Go??

Hello all,
I have been tasked to look into possible lock down of user interface for Android phones. Previously, we built custom mobile application for Windows Mobile and used SPB Kiosk Engine to perform lock down so that users can only run our application on windows mobile devices.
I would like to find out whether it is possible to perform similar lock down on Android Phones (limiting the functionalities) and start up with just our custom built android application. It would be best if there are existing lock down applications which can do this (similar to SPB Kiosk engine). If not, the only way would be to compile custom firmware ?
Hope anyone who has ideas of this topic can shed some light.
Thanks in advance!

Hello all,
did some research on the web and didn't manage to find anything regarding lock down on Android mobile phones. Any comments on whether this can be done at firmware level (e.g. compile custom Android firmware) ?
Thanks,
Zell

Hy and welcome to our forum,
what do you mean with lock down??? I cant follow you!
Greatz

Hello Mccoffein,
Lock down would mean to restrict the functionalities. E.g. we only want the Android mobile phone to run our program on start up and cannot access any other functions.
Other examples on PC will be windows based Internet Kiosks, which only allows users to surf Internet net, but does not expose other functionalities of Windows.
Cheers,
Zell

Hello Mccoffein,

I've just bought another HTC HD2 had the power supply on the old one packed up and I can only charge the batteries ( I have 4 now) out of the phone, I've previously installed the Energy Rom and it was working brilliantly with its 16 gig microSd card and Tomtom installed.
My question is, there are links here to HOW TO INSTALL WP7 to HTC HD2, even I can follow them BUT, can I use my old apps "6.5" in the new WP7 OS, I'm not sure if its worth changing to WP7 if the old apps wont work like Skype and such.
Thanks in advance.

No, it's bit like asking if you can run iPhone apps on WM6.5 - just can't be done unfortunately.
Thx alot....
I was hoping that some apps were backwardly compatible, but I guess not.
Thanks again, I might play around on the phone thats being returned, it wont matter if I brick it lol.
Sadly not. There are some that have been recreated for WP7 but there is such a disparity in the underlying software architectures that porting just ain't gonna happen...unless someone writes an emulator.
But half of the fun of WP7 is playing with the new apps, some of which are quite sexy and a big step on from WM6.5.
^Maybe but i dont have igo primo for wp7? anyway is there any app for wp7 like igo ?
things are moving fast,every thing is possible but as mentioned above WP7 is made to be the new face for Microsoft and the past is past.
as for emulator, it could be the right answer.
but i don't think it would be for the HD2 and HD7 in their current hardware versions.

If you live in Europe then you can try Navigon Select. Pretty basic but does the job quite well and has the same map source as iGo
For the USA there is a free sat nav software in the Marketplace called A-to-B. This app has european maps (at least for my country quite good ones!), but turn by turn is US only for the moment. European voice guidance is coming soon.
I recall reading that WP7 is based on Windows CE 6.0 (R2, I think). I've also read of GPS devices with CE6 that run some CE5.x apps (after unlocking). In fact, no CE version has ever broken compatibility with previous versions. What usually gets in the way is the layer on top of CE: Windows Mobile before and WP7 now. With WM, problems attempting to run an app in a different version than it was designed for are usually due to 1) version checks during installation failing, 2) version checks at runtime failing, and 3) missing DLLs. I have a lot of experience with overcoming all three in order to get WM apps running on plain CE devices (like GPS devices), so, once I install WP7 on my HD2, I'll see what I can do. Microsoft has made a lot of changes to WP7 to cripple the underlying OS (ex. CE6 supports multitasking), so they may have removed or implemented something that I'm not aware of to lock the phone down and purposely break compatibility (afterall, if WM apps can be made to run, it'd undo what they're trying to accomplish, security-wise), but I'll give it a shot.
there is nothing to stop us having 6.5 apps run on here, both software and hardware are compatible BUT WP7 doesnt use the same set of APIs, so WM6.5 programs would need to be reprogramed (mostly around the UI and hardware interface) to work, of course if they were going to do that then they may as well just write a native program.
This also would mean your phone would need to be unlocked, soooo unless someone developes an emulation layer as a go between you'll not get them working im afraid.
Hello,
My company has recently developed an application. This is a single page application for data collection.
The app works fine on android / IOS devices in the native browser.
However, we have a whole fleet of the Motorola MC65 devices. They run windows mobile 6.5 and they do not properly load the page.
Can anyone give any advice on a possible rom for this device?
Thank you so very much.

Hello Robert
We are in a similar situation with around 20 of those MC65 devices and would like to migrate them to Android. Have you eventually been successful in achieving this?
Thanks for letting me know!
