It would be very good to see an Installer based application for HTc Touch Diamond.
For people that do not know what Installer is, it is an application for the iPhone that downloads and installs other application on the phone.
And since the Diamond has WIFI I think it would be nice to have this kind of app.
So anyone what to make this kind of app?I will be happy to donate.
P.S Since it is a windows mobile phone it already has a million apps.
oh i would love the guy who make that happen.
Diamond + EvolutionRGB (iphone "game" you can get mith the installer) would be the last thing i need for my diamond. except getting tomtom worked
If I had some experience in writing application I would have tried to make it myself , but I have absolutely no experience
most sites offer a cab file which is relatively easy to install
the app would never work because it would require all developers to have the database in the app or accessable by the app
to unfeasable
the onyl reason iphone can do that is because apple controls everything and distributes via apple
so hence iphone can get them
not gonna happen on wm
You are probably right, I know its easy to install software on wm with cab files,but Im just saying that it would be great and easier
ya would be but
databasing would be nigh unmanagable... unless u get something like linux packet distro's
even so seems to be a lot of work for little effect
are u sure that there is no way to creat anithing similar to the installer.app?
a prog for wm just tu enter these "sources network". i thnink these iphone users calling the thing theyr doin "jailbreaking" and that doesn't sound very legal either.
pls can anyone tell me it is possible.....and if not then pls explain exatly why. so i can stop dreaming of it
thx in advance
Set up some kind of xda-repository (spelled right) just like I see on Linux communities ...
I will be in moscow in a mouth and a I know a few good developers there a might talk to them
Is AppToDate not along the lines of what you're looking for..? Or at least a starting point..?
Google it to find out more (is liked to the iPhone thingy) and take a look at:
http://www.modaco.com/content/apptodate/267096/download-apptodate-supported-applications/
Seems a good idea to me - although at the same time I can never imagine enough people signing up to it!
I couldn't find it anywhere on forums here, so I will ask. Is it possible somehow to use our beautiful Diamond as tv remote controler?
no
diamond does not have IR
If you run your TV/cable though WMC, then yes certainly, you should try the application called PPC tablet, works like a charm, easy to setup too, and very moddable too

there also are a lot of similar and, in most cases, much better apps; I've posted a VERY big article in the Wiki on all this; see http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...s for Windows Mobile - the Definitive Roundup

Linux is working fine, but you will not get the 1024x600 interpolated resolution. OS X is not working. Both linux and OS X has been discussed in previous threads. Use the search function!
mmm... I trayed on other machine linux and it make me crazy, can you tell me a perfect release of linux to install on shift? I want to browse the web (with flash and java) and modify office document!
Thanks a lot!

what do you like on Mac OS X? I will never try to install Mac OS X on anything else than a Mac... it is already buggy with some few macs.. I don't know why it would work well on computers it has not been developped for.

I didn't see issues with Leopard on Shift. Yes, I tried it out. The only issues I found were losing touch and syncing the system with Windows Mobile. Also I didn't like Leopard on smaller screen. I did this just to check that out, so got reverted back to Vista. I am eagerly waiting for RTM of Windows 7. BTW, I don't have issues with Vista. At home I have 3 computers that run on Vista (2 on Ultimate and 1 Business), 5 Computers that run Windows XP (various versions), one with Ubuntu, and 1 MacBook running on Leopard (10.5.6). I have issues with XP based systems when I installed BizTalk 2009 and SQL Server 2008, but I never faced any trouble installing them on Vista Ultimate. I don't have issues with VS2010 beta 1 installation on both XP and Vista. My primary home system runs on Vista Ultimate has variety of server softwares installed in addition to Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 and Eclipse Ganymede with Android SDK that I need. I also use it as my Live Mesh host.

Saiweb, Can You Expound?
You said that you got OS X working on the Shift; can you explain your method briefly? Were there really no problems other than losing touchscreen? How often did it go out? I'd appreciate it.
My friend putrawanz did installed mac leopard osx into his shift just to try it out sometime back , but he said it is very slow in responding , even when u pass the pointer through the dock , the icons that expanded and then contracted back to origin size was somewhat lagging / jerking in motion , so it can be installed but can't be used . unless we used the 2gb ram stick coming out dunno when , then maybe it can be a lot smoother

Which distro did you use to install OS X? I had issues with the GMA950 graphic card. The installation started in black and white (640x480) and I never got past the spinning wheel to start the installation...
It must work
I would think that it should run pretty well. I've seen the YouTube videos of it running on a Shift very choppy, but I've also seen a YouTube video of an u810 (which component-wise is pretty similar to the Shift), triple booting, one load of which was OS X. It looked like it ran fine; he didn't demonstrate everything though. I think when people first tried installing OS X on the Shift, it didn't support GMA 950, but then Apple released a MacMini that used the same chipset. That, or it just really depends on the method and .kexts.

I've also seem a youtube video but the one I've seen was definitely a remote desktop connection to a Mac and the guy said so on the comments. Go back there and check.
Positive that it was not remote desktop

It definitely was not remote desktop. He demonstrated booting each one, OS X, Windows, and ubuntu. Each time having to select the partition to boot from in what looked like chameleon or grub. I have my Dell Mini 9 triple booting and it has GMA950 the same way. Works flawlessly.

What I mean is the installation on the Shift that you said was choppy. I don't doubt it runs elsewhere.
I mean this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdx77Gi3vtA
Gotcha
Gotcha. Wonder if the recent news that Apple is discontinuing support for the Intel Atom will have any effect on the Stealy. I'm OK with just running 10.5, but I'd still like to hear about people's experience with it.

This video clearly shows that they used logmein. They did not install OS X to the shift...

She knows. She knew. Basically, there is no video that shows OS X running on the Shift, just a video of someone using remote login to access a computer running OS X. There is, however a video of someone running OS X on a u810, which is pretty similar to the Shift. I'm thinking he used the same method as was used in the MyDellMini forums.
Atom supported again

Have a ball with it people,
Hello i am new to posting on this site but a long time reader and i have a Xda mini S (wizard).
anyway
i have been looking around the internet because of a crazy idea in my mind.
The idea came to me yesterday after upgrading my rom to WM6.1 then to WM6.5
So am looking at WM6.5 and just am thinking wouldnt it be nice to have Windows Xp on my phone so can be like a portable laptop with calling and texting.
i saw some thing about it for a different pda i think
so was just wondering is it possible to upgrade the rom and install XP on a Xda Mini s.
Doesnt have to be like the Desktop version it can be a mini remake.
as long as its possible to flash it again afterwards if i change my mind about it.
Anyone have any ideas for me ?
An easy way to fix this is via citrix, or via vmware...
well you must be a retard to think xp run on wizard is no such thing runnning xp on a pda close thread please...
@HackWindows
Take a look at windows 98/XP on PDA!!!!!.

Maybe you should think outside the box a little before emphatically saying something isn't possible. Heck, 60 years ago noone thought it possible to carry around a phone withoutwires, or have a computer smaller than the size of a room.
hello,
i wanna say i had win 98.
but.... you have to change resolution with nyditot cause it isn't vga.
and on mine the mouse doesn't work.
just se this lik earlyer said http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362344
.
so goodluck i know it works cause i had it myself.
but as i said no mouse and slow.
just try it is great to see
also watch youtube there are movies about it.
Well, it is impossible to run Windows XP natively, because the architecture of the wizard(or any htc smartphone) differs from the pc architecture.
However, there are 2 ways to "run" xp on your wizard:
1) With an x86 emulator like bochs or qemu; you don't want that because it's even slow on a normal pc, and you still don't have sufficient RAM to run xp.
2) Run xp on a normal pc and use VNC or RDP to control it remotely(so you need a fast internet connection). I believe there an rdp app called "Terminal Services client" on a default wm installation, so I'd go for that one.
If you want to run windows to play games on your pda, I'd advice to forget it, vnc and rdp are not designed for such tasks...
Well, I dig this idea. any one with the know how should be able to port Tablet PC OS into an .nbf file with all the right drivers an stripped of all unnecessary junk ( a minimalist version) . If not a complete os than lookalike may be. May be i am dreaming big but someone should be able to help. I see ppl trying to port Linux/ android on wizard than why not XP?
The Omap processor (which is an ARM processor) isn't powerful enough to Emulate a x86 processor with acceptable speeds and memory to run XP on a wizard (even if XP has been stripped etc..).
Thread closed.
Alright,
This is running windows ce7 but its not actually a phone, its a RF unit. But i need to install Java on it.. Any way of doing that?
Also,
What is a good browser to use? internet explorer sucks... I do not have an app store so if you could provide me with the file i can just simply drag into the application folder ID appreciate it
THANKS
You'd do better to ask in the WP7 forum (does anybody hang out there anymore?) as WP8 uses the NT kernel and has very different structure from CE-based devices. It's also not binary-compatible with them.
Opera is the go-to non-IE browser for most mobile devices that don't run Android, iOS, or (a descendant of) Maemo. Pretty sure Opera Mobile is available for CE still, but I haven't paid any attention to that OS family recently.
Thanks for the response.. I'll continue looking... I hate this OS but its all we really have to work with right now :crying:
