Bluetooth emulator |
Unsupported |
This package includes a Bluetooth emulator and an API providing the same interface for Win32 emulator and target phone. The simple Bluetooth emulator enables debugging the Bluetooth functionality of applications within the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 IDE without additional hardware. Andrew Qu & Nancy Wang developed this tool to debug Bluetooth games, so one particular category of applications that this utility is most suitable for is board game applications. The Bluetooth API only uses Symbian OS core functionality and is therefore phone independent. However, the example provided has been developed and tested on Symbian OS v6.1 with S60.

Panix |
Unsupported |
Panix is a software package which allows developers to debug their Symbian OS applications when they fail to execute properly on a specific device, although they may function correctly under the Symbian OS Emulator. This package contains two components: the Panix Utility which runs on a Symbian OS phone and provides information on software panics, and the Panix Tracer, a Windows application which provides in-depth analysis of the data generated by the Panix Utility. This tool currently supports devices with a Series 60, Series 80, Series 90 (Nokia 7710) and UIQ platforms while the windows application requires the Microsoft .NET Version 2.0 runtime environment to be installed on the host PC.

AIF tool for Symbian OS v7.0s |
Unsupported |
Symbian has adopted a new AIF file format from v7.0s. This allows AIF files to be built from a revised Perl script which calls into the other Symbian OS C++ build tools, avoiding use of the WINC-dependent Aiftool.exe. Old-style AIF files will continue to be accepted on new Symbian OS phones, although AIF files built with the new script will not work on phones based on Symbian OS v7.0 or earlier.

PETRAN v9.1 |
Unsupported |
PETRAN is a tool which processes the final object files into the format that the Symbian OS loader expects. It strips a Portable Executable-format file of symbol information that is not required for an ARM target., making DLLs much smaller; as a consequence, ARM targets only support linking by ordinal.

Ethernet Connection for the Symbian OS Emulator |
Unsupported |
This package contains resources and documentation to allow a user to configure the Symbian OS Emulator to connect to Internet through an ethernet port of the host PC. The contents of the downloadable ZIP file should be extracted on the root of the Symbian OS SDK to be used.
a.Instructions on how to configure a Symbian OS SDK to connect to Internet using an ethernet port Connecting the Symbian OS Emulator to the Internet using Ethernet (293 Kb)

TaskList |
Unsupported |
Installing Task List allows you to view the current tasks running on the UIQ emulator. The control is accessed via the control panel in the app launcher. The TaskList allows you to bring forward apps from the background and to close apps down. The same effect can be achieved on the udeb emulator by typing ctrl-alt-shift-T. This control is particularly useful for Java apps launched from a command prompt on the urel emulator as they could otherwise get lost in the background. Full sources are also made available allowing you to build a version of the control for testing apps' behavior on a UIQ device. It should be emphasized that the Task List is provided here for testing purposes only and is not formally part of the UIQ platform.
To install TaskList or its sources, extract the files into the root drive of your SDK.

Winsock Plug-in |
Unsupported |
Winsock Plug-in is an extremely useful plug-in for the UIQ SDK for Symbian OS v7.0, that when enabled allows the emulator to make use of your host PC's networking connection by forcing the emulator to use the Windows networking layer instead of the Symbian OS networking layer. Note that this utility has not been fully tested and is unsupported. To install unzip the archive and follow the instructions in readme.txt. Versions are available for both the Metrowerks CodeWarrior compiler (winscw) and Borland C++BuilderX compiler (wins).

PrnESock
(available from Peroon) |
Unsupported |
A free and useful plug-in for Symbian OS v6.1 SDKs, that allows the emulator to make use of your host PC's networking connection by internally mapping of Symbian networking API (RSocket, RHostResolver) to the Windows networking API (winsock plug-in).

Configuring Bluetooth virtual serial ports (with source) |
Unsupported |
The BTComm Control application allows one to configure the Bluetooth virtual serial ports of a Series 60 phone. Both the remote endpoint of a virtual serial port (i.e. the remote device) and the link's security settings can be set. Bluetooth virtual serial ports can be used, for example, by an application for debugging to a remote terminal or to provide a link for GDB debugging.
The source code shows how to do this in Symbian OS v6.1, v7.0 and 7.0s using the older Bluetooth APIs as well as how to do it in Symbian OS v8.0a on which the Series 60 2nd Edition FP2 SDKs for Symbian OS are built.

Symbian CommDB Editor with wizards |
Unsupported |
The Symbian CommDB Editor is a Java application which allows the easy management and creation of CommDB settings using a graphics user interface. Using the CommDB Editor, the user can create or modify CommDB table entries and parameters with ease and error checking provided by the editor. The user can then generate a CommDB settings file, either in the CFG format or the new XML format (v7.0s or higher). This file, can be used as input to the CED command-line utility, in order to generate a binary CommDB database file (DBMS format) for use by Symbian OS. The current version (3.4) provides support for Symbian OS Version 7.0 (both UIQ 2.0 and UIQ 2.1), 7.0s, 8.0, 8.1 and 9.1 and it integrates with a pre-installed Symbian OS SDK. It also provides support for the implementation of CommDB Wizards, as plugins written in Java to the Symbian CommDB Editor, which allow the customisation of CommDB settings for specific purposes using a graphics interface. The current package contains the following wizards:
a. Modem Wizard
- it allows the user to insert various pre-defined modems to CommDB for use with the Symbian OS Emulator (available only for Symbian OS Version 8.0).
b. Ethernet Wizard
- it allows the user to configure CommDB in order to allow the Symbian OS Emulator to connect to Internet through an ethernet port of the host PC. This package also contains the drivers required for performing this operation which must be installed on top of the Symbian OS SDK. Note that this application requires that a Java Runtime Environment 1.4 or higher is installed on the target computer.This new package fixes a problem to a supplied text file.

Symbian CommDB Wizards SDK |
Unsupported |
The Symbian CommDB Editor Version 3.0 or higher provides a framework for the implementation of wizards which allow the easy customisation of CommDB for particular purposes. The CommDB Editor Wizards are plugins, also written in Java, which are loaded dynamically when available for a particular Symbian OS version.
The Symbian CommDB Wizards SDK (current version 1.3) allows a developer to write wizards for the Symbian CommDB Editor using the API that the editor exposes for that purpose. It also contains the source files for the example of the Modem Wizard, i.e. a CommDB Wizard capable of automatically adding CommDB modem settings for a number of predefined modems which can be connected to the Symbian OS Emulator. It requires that the Sun Java 2 SDK - Standard Edition (J2SE) Version 1.4 or higher is installed on the development computer.

QFileMan |
Unsupported |
QFileMan is a file manager for UIQ.Although the file system under UIQ is not intended to be visible to the end user, it is often useful for application developers to be able to browse the file system on a UIQ phone and see which files are where, and even move, copy or delete them. QFileMan allows you to do this. In addition it provides TaskList functionality allowing you to view and control the currently running processes.

UIQ text input framework |
Unsupported |
Some libs and headers needed for those developing new text input frameworks, e.g. a handwriting recognition module, were omitted from some versions of the UIQ SDK. You can download a patch for your SDK to remedy this. Also available here is a design document providing a high-level overview of the architecture of the UIQ text input framework.
