NVFS, E2 and HotSync
Hello, I am trying to sync the data of my application onto an E2 and a TX, which means that I have to write around 27000 records for one of the database files. On the TX, it is no problem, but on the E2: During the HotSync run, I get no errors calling SyncWriteRecord, but when I close the database, nothing has changed. I tried to close/open the database every 100 recs in order to force a DmSyncDatabase like behavior, which results in having 5700 recs written on the device and then returning error 0x4015 (Generic remote system error (returned when exact cause is unknown) as result of SyncCloseDatabase(). After that, the device is in an inconsistent state Note: Does anybody have experienced problems, that are caused by a faulty memory card build into the E2? I want to find out, if it is a problem caused by a bug in the OS (5.4.7 BTW) or by something that goes wrong with the device. Any ideas, help? -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
NVFS Patch for Tungsten E2: to be or not to be?
Hello, I spent the last couple of day (and nights) on working around the *** NVFS DBCache implementation on an E2 - (rather than spending the time with my son, who is visiting me right now ***G***) I tried everything in order to keep as much memory out of the DBCache, but I am sort of at the end of the flagpole. (Yes, I read all I could find in the newsgroup and on the internet) Our GIS System must be able to deal with an order of magnitude of 2-4 records in one or more databases. If I show them in a map, I do have to DmQueryRecord or DmGetRecord all of them as time goes by. But as soon as the DBCache gets too much filled up, the system gets so instable. Will there be a patch for the Tungsten E2 as well as for other devices that will fix the NVFS issues in a profound way? I also need something to tell my customers: right now there are no other device alternatives out there. All the new devices come with NVFS. The others will sooner or later be discontinued. What is the problem with PalmOne / PalmSource? Does the Windows Mobile deal with Microsoft mean, that serious bugs on the PalmOS side are not addressed anymore?

NVFS: White Paper missing from PluggedIn web site
Hi everybody, I tried to get as much information about the NVFS problems. At some point the articles refer to the "Update NVFS White Paper.doc" on the palmplugin web site. Although I am member, I cannot find this document. Would be anyone so kind to mail me the paper (and possible other infos)?

[ANN] Palm OS Simulator with skin drawn around
Hello everybody, I am pleased to announce my first implementation of "SimulatorSkin". It is an extension to the Palm OS Simulator (5.x), that installs a skin around the simulator window pretty much the same way POSE does. It consists of a DLL, that patches the WindowProc of the simulator and a PRC file, that installs the patch automagically when the simulator is reset. The current implementation is a fully functional "proof of concept". However it is currently limited to the Garnet simulator (Version 5.0-5.4). I haven't tried to extend it to Cobalt (yet). It also doesn't really work (yet), if you change the display resoulution or magnification. Please also read the information in the Readme file of the distribution An other feature added is, that you will be asked to save the storage snapshot file, before the simulator is terminated. This way, you don't accidentally forget to do so, if you are running a presentation or whatever. The binaries and the source code of SimulatorSkin are freely available at no charge. The source code ist licenced under the terms of the General Public Licence. No warranties and all that stuff! VIsit our website to download the package. http://www.caos-gmbh.de/opensource/simulatorskin.html HTH Tilman Skobowsky -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
Simulator Skin: legal issues
Hello everybody, I am not very much into legal issues, which is why I want to check this first: If I posted a DLL/PRC that will provide the Palm OS Simulator with a skin like we had it before in the emulator, would that be a violation against the EULA of the Simulator?

PalmDebugger Symbol Files: How to?
Hi, I wonder, if there is a way to generate symbol files for the PalmDebugger as supplied by the SDK? The best thing would be to convert CWs psym file into a symbol file for PalmDebugger. But I don't even have a clue, how to generate Module.code.n.sym file via PRC-Tools / GCC. Is there anybody around here, who knows how to do this?
