Mobile Phone Design Template (Windows CE 5.0)
The Enterprise Terminal design template provides the functionality for a Microsoft Windows® CE–based mobile telephone handset.
This template supplies the foundation for supporting voice data, e-mail, and Web-browsing on a mobile handset.
The Mobile Phone design template provides an environment with rich graphics that does the following:
- Supports a 160 x 220 nominal display resolution
- Includes the Windows CE Standard Shell
- Optionally include Pocket Internet Explorer, Inbox, and ActiveSync technologies
The Catalog items you use to configure your OS design can vary. Use the New Platform Wizard in Platform Builder to create a starting point for mobile hardware that uses wireless data communications, and then customize the OS design to fit your needs.
The Mobile Phone design template targets a specific form factor and you can use the Emulator included with Platform Builder to view and test your new run-time image.
After you view the Catalog items listed in this topic, follow the instructions in How to Develop an OS Design by Using a Design Template.
Security Issues
For more information about security issues that can affect the Mobile Phone OS design, see the following topics:
- ActiveSync Registry Settings
- Authentication Services Security
- RTC Client API Security
- Cryptography Security
- Pocket Internet Explorer Security
- RAS Server Security
- Windows Networking API/Redirector Security
Mobile Phone Catalog Items
When you use the New Platform Wizard to create an OS design from the Mobile Phone design template, Platform Builder includes by default a specific set of Catalog items in the OS design.
Although you can select optional items in the wizard, the required items do not appear as options.
In addition to Catalog items you add to your OS design, some items are added during the build cycle due to dependencies.
The Sysgen variables for all Catalog items in the run-time image after the build cycle is complete are in the %_WINCEROOT%\Public\<OS design name>\_iabasefeatures.txt file. For more information about dependencies, see Catalog Overview.
Note Because one Sysgen variable can be set by another Sysgen variable, not all Sysgen variables in this files correspond to a Catalog item.
After you finish using the New Platform Wizard, you can add other Catalog items to your OS design. For more information, see Adding an Item from the Catalog.
If you build from a command line, for information about how to view a list of Sysgen variables, see Build Demo Tool.
