This is probably a daft Q, but can one (or should one?!) use rechargeable 2032s in the 900 series MobilePros? I've not changed mine for years - now need to and have only just discovered that the '2032s' come in both 'normal' and 'rechargeable' versions.

Thanks,

CASIO DT-X10 and §%&$&)!? Netgear MA401

Hi all,

after I got a bunch brand new CASIO DT-X10M30E ( INTELPX255/ARMV4T/CE.NET 4.1) I tried to use them in our warehouse to simply transmit barcodes to our website.

I happily equipped them with some old NETGEAR MA401 PCMCIA from our stock.

Now the desaster:
I virtually tried any available drivers which are available from anywhere or your site.

To name a few, these were:

http://www.hpcfactor.com/support/cesd/h/0028.asp
PRISM400XXXX
WLAN400XXXX
were only XXXX=1824 installs. All other cabs are refused as "not appliceable to the OS".

After reboot always: "PRISMSTA.exe is not a valid CE application". Bonk!

Inserting the card the device asks for the driver name. I entered the corresponding dll (PRISM, WLAN, etc) name provided by each installation cab. Bonk!
The adapter LED blinks 1x and then off.

Funny enough, if I remove all drivers and enter the driver name of a native WINCE dll called netwlan.dll I get a solid LED on the card. The downside is there is no setup tool on the device and the card doesn't show up. However this action creates a registry entry in /COMM called /netwlan1 referred from /netwlan which has a bunch of settings in a key called /parms. The card itself shows up correctly in /DRIVERS with correct references to ndis and netwlan.

Used to PEEK and POKE I tried to set the parameters manually and .... failed miserably, as the entries do not match the required settings for SSID/WEP
encryption. Hours of digging the net didn't come up with useful information. I even mailed CASIO a request for their SDK - NO ANSWER!!!

NOW, I'm lost! It would be a pity if the devices remain useless, due to my ignorance :-)

sorry for kraut english :-)

regards

Aironet 350 Setup + WPA

Hi,

I have a MobilePro 900 with cmonex v2 loaded, and am trying to get an Aironet 350 to work. The official Cisco installation instructions indicate that I'm supposed to use ActiveSync to set up the drivers on the device, but I do not have an XP PC at my disposal right now. I have tried directly installing the CAB files in the 2.72 driver package, and don't seem to be getting anywhere- there are a few in the package, and the ones that have allowed me to run them give me a warning about not being for my device, and then don't seem to allow me to launch the Cisco ACU utility.

Does anyone know how to set this Wifi card up? Additionally, once the Cisco drivers are working, it should support WPA, right? CE.NET 4.2 actually recognized the card and installed rudimentary drivers on its own, but these did not support WPA. Thanks in advance.

HOW TO enable WPA on Windows CE 4 using AEGIS client

Here's a quick how-to on enabling WPA-PSK Security on Windows CE 4.x using a supplicant software called AEGIS client.

1. Configure your WiFi access point / router to use WPA-PSK Security. If you're unsure how to do this, consult Google or the documentation for your access point / router.
2. Download AEGIS client for PPC and Windows CE.
3. Install AEGIS client by running the downloaded EXE, transferring the extracted CAB to your Windows CE 4.x device using your preferred method (memory card is by far the easiest one) and then launching the CAB on your Windows CE 4.x device.
4. Configure AEGIS client following the picture guide below.
5. Pump fist. :)

I'm ready to answer the questions you may have, but please consult Google before asking the more general ones. I would really like to keep this thread as specific and focused as possible.

Installing CE Agenda on 900c cmonex v2

I've installed CE Agenda on an MP 900c with the cmonex v2 rom, but it won't run. I get the "please register" window, but after I click OK CE Agenda freezes. I can use other programs, but CE Agenda won't close and eventually I have to soft reset.

During installation, CE Agenda asked if I wanted to replace a couple of dll files, and I said no because the versions CE Agenda wanted to install were older than the versions already installed, and I thought that installing the older versions would mess up something else. Should I have replaced the dlls? Or could something else be causing the problem?

Best WIFI card for Mobilepro 900 with Cmonex V2 ROM

Hi everyone I have been trying to buy and setup of ebay a number of wifi cards for my mobile pro, love the device now it has the cmonex, and yes I am very old and late to the party, probably by about 5 years!!!

Anyway I had a Cisco Aironet 350, but the ACU.exe will not open properly so can't set this up. I tried the Truemobile 1150 with the agree cab file which will load but the card will not pick up WPA.

So to save me more expense, I could do with knowing what people out there use with their machine, whilst connecting to a WPA wireless.

Your advice and thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Has anyone tried this on a core CE device?

http://www.mytinytv.com/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx

It appears to allow you to view any TV channels you receive at home on a mobile device, either while at home or on the road. The mobile device streams the TV program from a PC at home that is connected to the home digital TV reception and acts as the remote TV server. The PC also has to be connected to the digital TV set-top box by infrared in order for the PC to change channels like a remote control. It looks like Pocket PCs all the way back to Windows Mobile 2003 are supported, leading me to wonder if it could be done with a core CE device running CE 4.2 or later. :unsure:

Thoughts? :blink:

custom roms for 900c!

February 22, 2014, 11:27 am

i had a thread about that subject which was sadly lost in the crash along with the thread about the newest firmware :(

it was about creating custom roms for the 900c (maybe hpc2000 900 too). it would be based on the latest revision, OS firmware version 2.02, would include fixes, needed dll's, useful registry hacks, useless stuff like the citrix install cab would be removed, and so on... i would like to hear what additions/hacks you think would be most useful.

so far i made two custom roms (and experimented a lot a few weeks ago... this will be resumed soon!), one has a modified explorer.exe (i know it can be done with mui's too), to make the low backup battery warning disappear for ever (i had a funny story about that but i know that's been lost too). this one isn't really interesting, but the other one sure looks cool with a replaced gwes.exe and commctrl.dll, giving the 900c the "xp look" that some other cenet devices have by default (such as the sig3). i know it sounds funny but i like my 900c a lot better since then :rofl:

let me show a photo below... :cool:

other plans also include working out how to replace a module (not file) in rom, and to fully delete files. the best would be if we could replace coredll.dll too..with a better version. that'll be a very hard task...
but i have even crazier ideas too (but no word on those yet :x :rofl: )

Hi guys! :)

I'm getting a Sigmarion 3 charger soon, and going to revive my Sig 3.

Does anyone want a Linux that works on Sigmarion 3 under BOCHS?

I have some files, and I'm hoping somebody could teach me more to boot full image, not just floppy image.

Well, I may be regressing, but I just got one in the mail today. What a nifty little machine. I played with it a while. Battery is shot in the thing so right now I have it in a zillion pieces spread across the table.

Going to go to Radio Shack tomorrow and see if I can find a 7.4V LION cell for it that will fit in the battery area. Can't exceed 130mm x 68mm x 10mm in size...but I bet I can find some battery from a remote controlled car that will fit in there or something.

Then it will be time to flash the thing to CE.NET 4.2.

More info to follow as I discover it...

WM2003 on 900c, or WM2003's ActiveSync?

October 7, 2014, 11:20 am
$

This was pulled from the Custom Roms thread, but it tied into a concept i was already mulling over - since that thread was 83 pages anyway, i'm just going to start a new one.

another possibility: just bin the beta package and simply port the 900c to WM2003SE, this is certainly quite possible but not as an installable CAB like the TFGBD package is.

Holy crap, you're kidding. That would be AWESOME.

We're talking the full WM2003 OS and apps, not just a shell or skin or something?

I posted another message which C:Amie shot down pretty quickly, about building what he termed to be a gateway app that would translate network signaling (specifically the ports that Activesync 3.x used for network syncing) to a com port on the host pc, so that wireless syncing could be forced in ActiveSync 4+, because it would think it was just a serial connection, much like Bluetooth.

While I still think it's possible, once he described the reasoning behind that not working , I got to thinking. My main goal is being able to sync my email, calendar, and contacts, over WiFi, against my Exchange server. Everything since PocketPC 2002 does that natively. Is it not possible to simply pull the apps (Mail, Calendar, and Activesync) out of the more recent PPC or WM OS and install them into CE.Net or HPC 2000? We make ARM apps run on MIPS cpus and vice versa through DLL hacking and tweaking, and the HPC 2000 office suite is in Cmonex's rom, so I'm curious how this would work, and what would be involved.

Cmonex, I'd love your thoughts on this.

Cheers.

"jailbreaking" a Compaq/HP T20 Thin Client

December 9, 2014, 4:02 pm

So, I was googling for some things and I came across this article:
http://www.instructables.com/id/Compaq-EVO-T20-Thin-Client-as-an-MP3-Player-Netw/

It's basically a guide to using one of those Compaq T20 thin clients as an MP3 player. Honestly, I'm not really sure why a guide would even be needed to do what amounts to installing an NT4 compatible MP3 player and running it but it's still a neat use of the hardware.

But what struck me is this:

"To build this project you will need a Compaq NTe Evo T20 ( and its power supply ) - the Win Ce version cannot be used nor can the later XPe models easily ( the XPe Version can play music but music file storage is an Issue and you need to store the music files elsewhere on your network as I have not found a method of getting a Xpe version to read a Local USB pen drive)."

I vehemently disagree.

Don't let the poster of this guide convince you otherwise. The Windows CE models can be used to do the same thing as this above guide. I've even seen the CE clients being sold for as low as $8 on eBay some days. All that it really requires is some different software and maybe a little CE familiarity.

First, lets tackle the myth that these can't run 3rd party software...

Read your thin client's documentation on pushing updates via TFTP. You will notice some updates include an .exe once extracted. There's your in.

All you really need to do is replace this .exe with another one of your choice like TCPMP or a file browser and point your thin client's update application to it. It will then run your application. You can then run a registry editor or file browser and do whatever you feel like on the device.

To make this easier in the future and ensure your device is always "jailbroken", you can edit your device's registry to run the application you want on startup under HKLM\init by just adding a string with something like Launch60="your.exe".
See:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms901773.aspx

You don't need a desktop OS like NT or Linux and high end models just to play MP3s on a thin client. That's just silly!

To play mp3s, just use the x86 WinCE build of The Core Pocket Media Player(TCPMP) found here:
http://www.hpcfactor.com/downloads/tcpmp/

This plays anything from OGG to FLAC and has pretty decent playlist support. The CE editions of these thin clients already ship VNC so you can use that to remote control it. With this, they can even play videos!

Want to have even more fun?
Install PocketDOS on your CE client and run your favorite DOS applications from yesteryear.

Now, the sky is the limit as to what you can do with your "crippled" CE client. You are only limited by your imagination, your compiler, OS version, available open source projects(not much software for x86 CE) and CE itself. No Linux, no flashing, no desktop Windows and no viruses in sight.


Hope this helps someone.

NEC MobilePro 900 questions

I recently acquired a 900, making it my first ce.net device! (Thanks michelbel!) There are a few things that I couldn't solve using the forum search and HCL however!

1. I run WIN7 64-Bit and tried using the 900C Windows Vista Beta driver from the HCL for connecting the MP900 to my computer via the microUSB port. It said it was incompatible, I checked the .inf file from the 64-Bit archive and it turned out that it's the same .inf as for the x86 version of the driver on HCL.
In a (probably stupid) move I simply replaced x86 with amd64 in the file, and it seemed to work at first, but in the end didn't (that would've been too easy).
Soo, is there a way to get the proper .inf file? It would be awesome to use microUSB

2. I noticed that my standard Microsoft optical mouse works fine on the 900C, but there's no mouse cursor. I found a few discussions on the forum, but no solution on how to get it to display a cursor when the mouse is connected. The MP runs cmonex' 4.2 firmware by the way.

Hi,

I remember long time ago there was some app that allowed to use RS232 mouse with PPC/HPC (i don't remember now, all I remember and still have is adapter that converts null-modem sync cable into serial port) Maybe someone remembers the name? I have Simpad SL4 with broken digitizer, and while I'm able to skip calibration, I need some way to interact with OS for presentation purposes.

Ok, self reply, found it:
http://www.hpcfactor.com/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=9769&posts=5#M96156
It's called mouser and it's available for download at http://damnsoft.org/web/software/museum

TabBackup 0.0.0.4

I stumbled upon the app linked below while poking around the Web looking for other stuff. It appears to be an app for creating backups of POOM databases. I found it on the Russian site hpc.ru. It's in Russian, and does not appear to have support for other languages. However, I was able through trial and error to identify the menu selections for backing up Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks, and create backup files. However, despite three selections for the type of file to back up to (one of which appears to be CSV), the resulting backup files are saved without a file extension no matter which one I choose, and while I haven't checked it yet by reading the files in Notepad, I suspect that the resulting files from each file format selection version are identical to the other two. :wacko:

I figured our Russian regular, Alt Bass, could have a look at it and tell us what the Russian menu items and dialogs say. I wonder if it would be possible to recompile this app in English. :unsure:
