what installer do you use?
Developers, what installer are you using for Pocket PC software installation?
I've struggled with this and can't find anything really suitable. MSI is very flexible, but I
can't get it to work. It installs my application folder in C:\Program Files, opens the
Add/Remove Programs, but then doesn't actually install the CAB file.
The free installers I've tried are very easy to use but not very complete. I don't see any way
to help the user with Compact Framework installation or other dependencies such as OpenNETCF.
So, what are you successfully using?

Alternative text input modes - how ?
I'm looking for a way to add alternative text input modes to pocket PCs and
smartphones, beyond - for example - T9, multi-tap, and standard
auto-complete.
Sadly, from what I've discovered so far, it seems that these modes are quite
hard-coded in the system, and I've not been able to find any infos on the
SDKs about ways to bypass them.
Could someone please point me to any source of valuable infos on this
subject ?
Thanks !!

No synchronization in SQL Server CE
Hi,
I've been trying sync with SQL Server CE with no success. The next lines are
a guide about the description of the problem:
- The AddSubscription works ok. No exceptions, and the MYSQLCE.SDF file is
well created. So, I suposse the connection parameters are ok. You can see
the code below (elimitated the exception handling).
- When executing this code as a response to a button click, the PDA stands
"in limbo" in the replNw.Synchronize() line. It's necessary to reset the
device to restore it.
- I can access the url thru the iexplore in the PDA without problems getting
the "SQL Server CE Server Agent" message.
- I followed all the steps to create and publish a database in SQL Server
2000. The snapshot is created, and the publication has been tested with
normal (non SQL Server CE) subscribers. IIS and SQL Server 2000 are in the
same machine. ActiveSync and the physical connection to the PDA are in other
machine.
How could I trace the problem?.
...

CeFlushDBVol problem
I have a CE database stored in compact flash memory. Afer adding a new
record to the database I call CeFlushDBVol to make sure data is
written to the flash memory. The application is running on about 100
Pocket PC 2002 devices without any problems.
Recently, I installed the application on 10 new Symbol PPT8860 with
Pocket PC 2003 (CE 4.2). It works fine on 6 of them, but on 4 of them
the call to CeFlushDBVol takes 6 to 7 seconds instead of the normal
less than one second! Have anybody else noticed this strange
behaviour?
Are there any known bugs in CE databases at the moment (CE 3.x or CE
4.x)? Tag: agg. pocketpc 2002 Tag: 76833

PocketPC 2003 unable to get device ID using KernelIoControl
Hi,
I can not get the device ID of PocketPC 2003 devices. I have been
using the code at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/retrievedeviceid.asp
The KernelIoControl call always returns a status of
ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER. It tells me that the required buffer size
is 36, but gives this error even when I set the buffer size to 36.
I read in another post that it has something to do with PocketPC 2003
apps running in user mode only, which does not give me the permission
to call KernelIoControl? If thats the case, is there any way in
PocketPC 2003 to get a device ID?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

2. is it possible to compress this incoming audiodata from mic in realtime?

i want to read out a DLL (e.g. coredll.dll and a few others, to see what
functions are imported / exported, readable text inside the DLL) from my
PocketPC, which is stored in ROM of my device. Is this possible ? I thought
about touching the file (so OS is creating a copy of the file in RAM) or by
just reading complete DLL and writing a copy to a new file. Is this possible
?
Perhaps there is already a tool for doing this ?
