Testing your project with your emulator is not possible!!!! I shall tell you why: at first!!!- In the emulator you see a button on the right corner.
Dec 12, 2011 - launch the software by executing 'iGO 8.3.5.193799.exe'. - without map. Last edited by catymag; 22nd March 2015 at 03:51 PM.
When you click on that, you see that your applications has been started as much you clicked!!!! But you can't see nothing The cause: You have created an default applications with form position poDesigned. But the screen of the emulator is not so large. So The application start out of the boundaries of your screen. Change your form position to for example poScreenCenter.
You can change this in the object inspector. Below I give you mine build options: Target os wince target cpu family arm target processor standard Something I've in mine original applications, but not in this test application is: compiler options- additions and overrides - LCLWidgetType:=wince I advise you to do that also. Then you see the result as in the attachment. Now you can try it on your physical device, but please, before uploading make a hard or soft reset on that device. I don't have your device, but i HAVE a motorola with windows ce 5.0 and on that lazarus build programs works almost the same as on a windows mobile based device. Remark the following.
When you got somewhat further in developing for your device. Don't forget to upx your program. For 2 years ago there became a sort of a bug in the wince compiler for lazarus regarding network connection or keyboard input that could crash your application on your device. This is device specific (not brand but appearantly exact the same devices could crash one, but the other doesn't bother) Fortunately by using upx everythings works correct.
Hopefully this is the appropriate place. This may be a dead end but I thought I'd ask. EDIT: This probably belongs in the General section but I don't see a delete or move option. I have a generic Chinese headunit in my car running Windows CE 6.0 with a very limited shell running on it. Is there a way to force it to close out of this or load another on the unit? My input options would be Micro-SD or USB drive via the USB host adapter. I can't even load programs other than whats built in except for the GPS software.
No offence jwoegerbauer, but I tried ceFFM on WinCe emulator and after correcting couple of Mortscript unclosed quote marks, I still got different Mortscript errors which I wasn't able to correct in a simple way. So I didn't dare to install it on my WinCE 6.0 Chinese GPS tablet at all. I also tried MioPocket Mini from, it installed without problems on emulator. So I tried it also with the unit itself, but as it is still quite bloated and slow with heavy Mortscripts and also the interface probably needs some better graphics support, it's not very fluid. I ditched it and I am still using the original interface, which is fluid and through which after a very simple 'hack' of replacing some exe files and redirecting them through Mortscripts to run my own programs from SD, I can basically start any program.
I suggest You first point to Your navigation path configurator (every Chinese unit should have one) to 'desktop.exe' (You'll find it in gpspassion.com somewhere) and after running it You should be able to access the WinCE original interface and take it from there. Also before anything else, try to find out if it is possible to hard reset the device in case You get in trouble (probably not) and if it has a persistent registry (probably does), in which case You'll have to be VERY careful about modifying the registry. For example, my device has a custom shell, so if I would try to replace it with original shell from HKLM init, it would brick my device as I have read others with the same device have 'successfully' accomplished. Most safe would be to continue to use the original interface, maybe if You need some additional programs You could launch the 'desktop.exe' any time from the navi shortcut and run the stuff from desktop. Just stumble into this thread Actually my goal is to play (downloaded) video in mkv format so I don't have to convert it in order to be recognized by my Head Unit. But in the end, my Head Unit can play mkv file, view office docs, play game and has a customizable menu.
Here what I do: I'm using Chinese Head Unit which the GPS files are inside an SD card. Just try to remove your SD card safely and copy to a folder (let's say SDbackup) in your PC/laptop.
Inside this folder, you will find.ini file which specify the path to your GPS problem. Open this file. Mine (maplaunch.ini) is look like this: igo path= mobilenavigator mobilenavigator.exe; iconpath= mobilenavigator igo8.ico; showname= igo8; Then search for a PORTABLE (no-need-to-install) shell menu or application launcher, I use GPS Menu. Copy that portable launcher/shell to your SDbackup folder while keeping the folder stucture the same.
I have no info about this chine head unit, Therefore I use portable launcher so I dont have to install and taking chance to brick it. Then edit the executable path in.ini file above to point at the portable launcher.exe. (Mine become path= mygpsmenu gpsmenu.exe. I cand do this since the wince only lock the IGO map folder. If it's also lock the path above, then copy the portable launcher files into the folder path (ie mobilenavigator) and rename the gpsmenu.exe to mobilenavigator.exe. Copy the SDbackup folder to a new SD card. Keep your original GPS's SD card as a backup.
Try this new SD card on your head unit. If it's boot up perfectly, then you can edit this launcher to display your existing GPS apps and other apps. 'GPS menu' has include some apps like tcpmp video player -which can play mkv & subtitles, music player, document viewer, game etc.(I guess the last two just for showoff ). You can also 'unlock' (accessing the wince desktop) the Head Unit, Good Luck! And Sorry for my english. Quote: Originally Posted by Legodude522 Hopefully this is the appropriate place.
