Sirs,
I have looked on the net and have found nothing about any programs that it is possible to convert windows programs into
Pocket PC programs, preferrably Himalaya 6.1 by C_Shekhar.
Is this possible?
Thanks...
you can not simply convert Windows Programs to PocketPC Applications.
The Himalaya 6.1 ROM by c_shekar IS a complete Operating System for the HTC Himalaya PocketPC Platform, it is NOT a Program for Windows.
you can rewrite it, if you have access to the source code.
yeah a recompile possibly with a few modifications would work in most cases but one would as said require the source
some .net programs run on both pc's and pda's without any recompile
I think you mis understood me Sirs, What im trying to say is, how to convert a Windows program in able for me to install it on my pocket pc currently installed with Mr. C_Shekhar OS.
I know that the source code was intended and designed for a certain operating system and i have to emulate or convert the source code in able for the application be possible to install on a Windows mobile platform OS.
The said program was originally designed for Windows 98SE,ME,2K and XP 32 bits. I would be very thankful if you can assist me on how to convert the program so that it will be compatible with Windows Mobile OS platform.

And they gave you an answer. There is no way to convert or emulate Desktop Windows Apps to Pocket PC. Only if the App is OpenSource, and you have the code, by modifying it, you might create Pocket PC compatible App, out of it. Eventualy, maybe.

but mind you emulating an os more powerfull is pretty painfull
and a pda 400Mhz cpu is not something you can compare with a 400Mhz pc cpu
pda cpu's on 400mhz is closer to a 100Mhz pc cpu
and with the emulation overhead maybe a 75Mhz cpu
someone knows a way to synchronize ubuntu 8.10 and WM 6. With windows is easy to synchronize contacts and installing software but as with Ubuntu gets?
Hello,
Good luck
I've read lot of post to sync WinMobil and my GNU/Linux Debian, and I never reached a stable and valid solution.
@++
As far as I know currently only Mandriva offers WinMo sync in *nix world.
only working on (k)ubuntu 8.04
Hi,
we have 2 working syncs with Kubuntu (Kontact, kdepim) in 8.04. 8.10 is not working currently. I'm also waiting for opensync 0.40, which should hopefully solve some problems.

Hi guys,
as I read through the threads the upgrade to Win 7, same as the downgrade to Win XP, always requires the new installation of all software application programs that are not bundled with the OS.
i.e. MS Office, FireFox, Navigation software, ......
In June 2009 various news sites confirmed this obstacle.
In the last days I read that there will be (possibly) an upgrade that will not require the user to re-install the application layer programs.
Can anyone confirm or deny this statement.
And if it's confirmed will it be possible for the Shift?
Thnx a lot, guys
If you are upgrading from Vista, it is fine - you can do an in place upgrade and it will bring all your installed programs across.
If you have downgraded to XP, the only way to upgrade whilst preserving all your install programs is to upgrade to Vista first, and the upgrade to Win7 - there is no direct path from XP to Win7.
Regards,
Dave
Yeah, but Vista is still lurking, isn't it?
I'd rather endure installing everything twice (XP and Win7) than have Vista anywhere near my Shift!
In fact I did

Hi Dave,
thnx for your information.
I haven't done any downgrading (XP), not even the SP1 for Vista.
I have only liberated the Shift.
The OS is as shipped from HTC, only application programs installed.
If I do an inplace upgrade, will it get rid of all the Vista stuff that slows down the device? Meaning, will it be as good as a "complete from scratch" installation of Win 7?
Second, which version of Win 7 should I get? Home, Professional, RC?
And where do I get it?
Thnx a lot, cheers

Yesterday I made a full backup image of my Vista installation. Then I upgraded my HTC Shift to Windows 7 Enterprise RTM from MSDN.
The upgrade process took 3 hours, because it had to migrate 300.000 files and settings from one OS to the other. Before the setup I had 15GiB free on the HDD and after that 18GiB where free! So upgrading Vista to Windows 7 won't leave any old memory chunk on the HDD.
I only had to reinstall the Touchscreen Drivers. Everything else was still there: Several network shares, desktop widgets, explorer settings, all the applications with theirs settings, my two Outlook profiles with their on Exchange setups and so on.
Windows 7 itself also responds faster than with Vista. With the same auto-start applications I have more free RAM available and the OS itself looks much better.
So I can only recommend you to upgrade your Vista to Windows 7.
There is no need for a clean install, as long as your current Vista setup isn't anyhow broken.
After this Windows 7 experience I hope that the prejudice against Windows upgrades will be a thing of the past.
edit:
For the Windows 7 upgrade your Vista needs to have SP1 at least. I upgraded a Vista with SP2 and the latest Windows Update patches. The setup has to be started within Vista, otherwise it won't allow an upgrade. And you don't need to burn the Windows 7 DVD. You can mount it in Vista into a virtual drive or you can extract the ISO files to an folder. Before the first reboot the setup copies all the necessary installation files onto the local HDD. So after that the DVD isn't needed anymore.

Well i followed these steps - and when windows 7 boots the touch screen did not work as stated - so i downloaded the drivers from the HTC shift page, installed them. Although they did not error - they also did not work - seems to install properly but still not touch screen.
Also when I put the screen to 1024x600 the device bluescreened as it did in the pre-release versions..
Has anyone got Win 7 working (MSDN Release) and all hardware working; if so please share your steps.
Thanks
Kris

MS have stopped distributing the RC now, but they will still provide product keys for it until Oct'09 (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/download.aspx).
You can get the full RTM version of Win7 if you have an MSDN or Technet subscription, but otherwise you'll have to search the usual sources for a copy of the RC iso (not promoting warez here!).

Dave

Hello,
please try to uninstall the the VistaECDrvV1[1].0.1.10 driver first, then reboot, install it again and reboot again. Afaik I did this to activate the touchscreen driver.
Good luck!
And about 1024x600: That is a known problem. The Intel driver creates a BSOD as soon as you use a resolution higher than 800x480. The current workaround is to disable the Aero effects. With Aero Basic you can switch to higher resolutions without crashing the system.
I hope this will be fixed soon.

I need to try windows phone, i'm gonna get a one if i like it:cyclops:
The Web based windows phone is crap:silly:
i don't have a SnapDragon 200 or 400 so i can install windows phone 8.1 when it's out
and i have Windows 8 x86 but the SDK needs x64, i don't want to upgrade to x64 cause my RAM is Small
Any Help?????
I... can't even really tell what you're talking about. "Web based windows phone"? "i can install windows phone 8.1"?
Most stores in the US will let you try a phone for a while, and if you don't like it you can return it (sometimes there's a "re-stocking fee"). I have no idea if there's anything equivalent wherever you are...
i)If you have android...u can try with those wp launchers (although personally they are crap)
ii)Watch a lot of wp youtube videos and then sleep...xperience it in your dreams!!
iii)steal a lumia from anyone you know
iv)try it out at a store
v)dont drink bfore posting
You could try running the SDK on a virtual x64 Windows machine using Windows Virtual PC
