tired of slugishness on the f900? i am! Almost fixed. (Page 2)

wince is verrry proprietary meaning getting drivers for the system to run ANY other OS is near impossible, let alone having it fully functional. now hacking apart the current gui to customize it is more than possible. again i'm more worried about stability and functionality now. lets make what we have work right, then change a million things. everyone agree?

Agreed!

Any advancing on this?

yes yes and no to answer your question chuck88

no interest/help from the creator of msm7k for overclocking. however, the creator of wimospeed is in contact with me and willing to help!!! thank goodness for the dev's at xda. he has no familiarity with wince5 and no access to an f900bt unit. so i'm working with him on setting up the emulator for him with my modified system image running fx3.1 and yes, .net 3.5, all the basics are in the making for this to be a success so let's see if we can make it fly.

what i know so far. with windows mobile environments, ce5 and winmo 6.0 for example, the processor speed is constantly changing within a range so you can't just patch the registry for an overclock. this is important and where wimospeed comes in. you have to modify windows to use that program to actively control the processor clock based on load. that program has to be compatible with the hardware, which the processor is a go, but making sure the program has proper access to everything it needs is another story.

my hd2 died so i'm currently fixing that. i'll update the first post with information and post new news based on my next reply from the creator of wimospeed(iwfratz).

iwfratz made some time to help me with this project this week so i'd like to get him as much info and data as i can. firstly i need some help from you guys since i'm pretty new to this device

1: can someone post a link for getting an emulator running of the f900bt (i'm at work and we're not supposed to use the internet, lol)

2: how can i dump the os from my unit to sd or usb so i can load it in the emu and send him a zip of everything?

i know i could do alot of searching and reading, i'm sure someone on here chuck88 *cough* can point me in the right direction

Please refer here for the Download of the Emulator: Emulator Thread.

To run the WinCE5 Emulator with Chuck88's settings, follow those instructions:

1) Unzip "Chuck88's AVIC Emulator for WinCE5.zip".

1) Make "Chuck88's AVIC Emulator for WinCE5" the current folder.

2) Double click on standalone_emulator_V1.exe to start installation of the Emulator under Windows.

3) Copy one MAP file with the .FBL extension to iGo-chuck88\CONTENT\MAP.

4) [Optional] Copy one BUILDING file with .3DL extension to iGo-chuck88\CONTENT\BUILDING.

5) [Optional] Copy one POI file with .POI extension to iGo-chuck88\CONTENT\POI.

6) Launch RUN_iGo_Chuck88.bat.

7) Enjoy modding!

Note: If you have a 64-bit Windows OS, make sure to edit the RUN_iGo_Chuck88.bat to add " (x86)"

without the quotes to "Program Files" before launching it.

ws6nightcat, chuck88 this project sounds awesome! Hope things work out.

Posted May 02, 2011 · 01:28 UTC#33

Just checking in to see if any progress has been made?

Sounds like things were moving along and suddenly stalled; I wish I could be of more help.

Hmmmm, I think this is not easy job. If he can't succeed, nice try anyway.

sorry about the lack of responses and updates, i've had some downtime at the hospital and doctors offices. i'm out and can't see too great, but my vision is supposed to improve in the next few days. i'll try to get some work done on this this weekend.
