Debugging wm2003 exe and dll files?? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi,
I'm very new to programming, but I will do anything to make the eten bluetooth manager function correctly (thanks to vijay to have uploaded it to us) I think this will be the ultimate ms stack upgrade..
BUT
I searched a lot, and still haven't found anything simple that simply debug those bt manager files (exe and dll)
Anyone know anything good? Usable? Practical? :lol:
Any help is welcome; I've already looked to VB6 app but is way too complex.. I only wan't to debug, nothing else (for the moment )
Cheers, MocciJ

Unfortunately the only widespread pocketpc debugger is IDA (trial version available).
If you only need to get access to resources etc, check out Resource Hacker etc. Or use the Visual Studio resource viewer.

REQUEST: Registry entries MS Bluetooth stack (ppc2003SE)

I'm looking for the registry entries for the microsoft bluetooth stack on a ppc2003se device and maybe the bt dlls in the windows directory. I downloaded a imate jam rom, but I can't figure out how to extract the information I need from it If someone could provide me with a copy of their registry entries (i think all the important ones are stored at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\), I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time!
Jason
P.S. In case you are wondering, I'm trying to restore full bluetooth functionality to my crippled samsung i730 verizon phone (mostly I want the DUN profile). It uses the ms stack and the main (only?) problem appears to be that some of the registry entries have been removed. If I can compare my registry entries to working entries, I'm hoping I can find the solution!
you can extract all files from ROM with dumprom tool, then convert default.fdf to defailt.reg with fdf2reg.pl script.
The BT DLLs from jam's rom would be useless for you - they are XIP.
Thanks for the info on the dlls, i didnt know what arcitecture the jam used. As for the dumprom tool, I tried it multiples times in different configurations to no success (nk.nbf, nk.nba, different passwords). The rom I grabbed was 1.12 from the "How to upgrade with the latest I-mate Jam ROM --GUIDE--" thread. any suggestions for one that will work?

Java XLet

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a jvm for wm 6 which supports xlets. They are part of the CDC toolkit...
I don't want to have to use midlets as it is quite a big process to convert an existing swing program into a midlet.
Has anyone been able to do this?
Thanks
Edit: I just discovered that esmertec jbed is supposed to support cdc and should support xlet i guess...
but when I run my xlet all I get is a 'File error (???)'
I also know that others have this problem as was posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339579&page=7
But I don't think they were resolved.
Bump:
Has no one ever tried to get xlets working on their phone?
Ok, I found a java manager called CrEme.
It's great it lets you use any standard CDC java app which supports standard swing/awt. So you can instantly port any java app directly to your phone.
XLets/Managed aplications still don't seem to work but given that it runs normal apps, Im not too worried
I don't have any links for it but I've got the files if anyone wants them.
dear user, what does that all have to do with HRDF (Hermes ROM Development Forum)? why don't you ask this kind of questions in GDs (General Discussions)?

Java Development on Touch HD

I've been studying Java with the Open University and would like to put into practice some of my newfound knowledge on the mobile side of things.
Can anybody help me get started by telling me which configuration I should be using with regard to CLDC/CDC-MIDP, are there any JDK's for the Touch HD etc?
I have tried searching but to no avail so far so would appreciated your help.
Also, is there a decent Java compiler that operates under WM6. As that would be novel to play around with too! I currently use NetBeans on my pc.
Regards
Gary
Java on a mobile device = J2ME
There are plenty of Java VM for Pocket PC (check this thread). I think JBed (found in most blackstone ROM's including stock ones) is the best. It has severe limits but it is the best you can get on blackstone. For developement you can use your PC with Sun WTK 2.5.2 (it is supported by Netbeans).
There are no decent java compilers that run directly on PocketPC.
As your first app can you create a D-Pad in java to run skymobile????

Java ME : JBed or JBlend, choose one of them, both work great.
Java SE (Yes Desktop-class Java): MySaifu - http://www2s.biglobe.ne.jp/~dat/java/project/jvm/index_en.html
As for the JDK part (I mean the javac compiler and other tools), I do not know such a package yet. However, you can make javac work with MySaifu with a tools.jar file copied from standard JDK (1.3 or older probably).
Hope this helps
Java development with JVM for CDC
Thanks for your help guys.
I've managed to ge set up and have managed to create my first Midlet and run it on my Blackstone via JBed. I've used NetBeans 6.7
However, that is CLDC/MIDP, but when I try and install CDC creations JBed will not install it because a Midlet name is missing. Is this because the stock JBed does not support CDC. I have tried to find out but it is not perfectly clear and I will have to pay for a JVM to test my theory out if nobody can advise!
Thanks for help

MOD EDIT
Moved to Themes, Applications and Software forum (?) as not related to rom development
I'd seriously look at JavaFX, sun released a beta of it the other day.
I really like it, it works well on the HD from my limited testing
http://javafx.com/downloads/windows.jsp
One slight flaw with the current version is that it wants to get network address even when try to search for local jar/jad on storage.
but setting it as default file association gets around that one..
JavaFX
Downloading as I write....
Thanks for your advice I appreciate it. As you may know, as a newcomer to development of JME it is so complicated to get started due to all the configurations so any pointers at this stage are very much appreciated.
Thanks
Gaz
OK, I have JavaFX installed on my HD and it works and I particularly like the calculator example app included with it. However, I still cannot get my CDC app to install. It says "Cannot install application because critical information is missing from the application file (.jad). I thought CDC used xml files and not JAD for descriptions. Am I wrong or is something to do with my platform/deployment configuration?
I cant see a jad file in the deploy folder either. Is this an error.
Thanks
Gaz
Nope, you still need the JAD descriptor file.
It's plain text file, just find some on the internet, open it with text editor and alter some of the properties in there, it's really easy.
Don't forget to change the path to your JAR archive - the best way is to put there just simple JAR name and copy the JAD to the same directory as JAR.
Thanks Pepcza,
I'll try that, just a thought though, if you still need a descriptor file (in this case .jad) why does'nt the Netbeans deployment process create it along with everything else? It does when creating CLDC platform apps!
Gaz
JavaFX
I think we should concentrate on this one. Youtube videos are working in bolt browser using Javafx. If only it would be a bit faster, It'll throw Jbed out of the window.

[Q] How to use DirectDraw?

Hi, I come from China.
These days, I get a problem.
That's my title said. How to use DirectDraw on Windows Mobile?
I found a file named "ddraw.h" in WM6 SDK folder.
But it is only used by c++.
I want to use DirectDraw by c# or vb.net.
Is there any idea?
Better to be a library...
Thank you!
[My English Doesn't well, Sorry.]
如果你会中文那就太好了:
这些天我遇到了一个麻烦,就是怎样在WM上使用DirectDraw
我在WM6的SDK里找到了一个ddraw.h文件
但是那是c++用的
而我是使用vb.net的
有没有办法呢?
最好是一个类库……
谢谢……
Anybody know it?
How can u draw your UI?
Did you check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487354 and http://blogs.msdn.com/b/marcpe/archive/2006/03/03/542941.aspx which it references to as well?
The developer there seems to have similar issues and is using C# to access DirectDraw (by using a specially compiled dll.)
Since I'm no WM developer (yet), I can't help you out any further... but I'm sure some searching even on this forum alone should be able to provide you with enough information to get you started.
Oh and... welcome to xda-developers!
Thank you for your reply Art4.
I know that`s a solution. I tried to compile ddraw.h to ddraw.dll, but failed.
I'm very bad in c++, only VB.Net...
.h is just header which you include in your project (C++). The target .dll is already compiled somewhere in WM or the SDK. In that .h you can see what functions have which parameters and you can via interop and marshalling put them in your C# (or VB.NET) project and call them from there.

Try QuickCab v2.0 free!
I initially also used QuickCab but since it lacked some features (for one the ability to use a custom setup.dll was removed in version 2.0) and IABovine apparently stopped development I searched for alternatives:
Pocket PC Setup Creator - free for non commercial usage
Phone Setup Creator - not as much featured but author seems open to suggestions
Extendir Cabs - a cabarc GUI made for creating cabs for extendir
MSCEInf - excelent cab setup extractor (it preserves the file names and setup structure)
There's however no free cab setup "editor" that I know other than WinCe Cab Manager...
PS: QuickCab version 1.0 is not in the original thread so I attached it bellow.
thanks man, ive got a hex edited version of wince 3.0. does that Pocket pc creator have an expire. ?
No expiration date, nag screens or anything else... You get the complete version (almost since you can't use a custom setup.dll) not just a trial.
