Symbian signed and openess
I hav'nt posted for a while, primarily becuase I am behind in whitepaper writing and partially due to work commitments.
Anyway I am working on a new set of posts explaining the OMA-DM
adapters and how to access them so this will be starting in a few days
as I have realized the...
Updated Devcert List
Thanks to Tomasz Maciąg I have updated devcert list to check to see if the supplied certificate is in binary form and if so it does not attempt to base 64 decode it.
Apparently some folks have binary versions of their devcerts!
DevcertList uploaded onto Wiki
One tool I am continuously missing is the ability to get a list of IMEI's and capabilties from a devcert.
Our devcerts have lots of IMEI's and varying capabilties and whilst you can open the certificate in Windows and look at the extension fields to find out if the IMEI is...

Yet another way of getting the IMEI.
I know code examples have been slim at the moment, but unfortunatly I have been overcommited everyelse. However I dug out a golden oldie (for me anyway) - getting the IMEI number for any number of scenarios. (More)

Useful security functions
Its amazing how your first design is always the worst.
I wanted to create an executable that could only be launched
by a specific set of applications.
Sometimes from a security point of view you want to know who launched your program so that for example you can control which...
Password based encryption
I have posted a new wiki entry on using the password based encryption API's
Password Encryption
This example shows how to encrypt a password using the PBE API's which a much simpler than using the RAW API's as these use chaining and require different and correct block sizes to avoid...
Symbian/Nokia KB updates
First off Symbian have updated the help compiler to fix the issues with rtf files saved in newer versions of Microsoft Word.
You can download the new compiler from FAQ 1436 - just follow the instructions and replace the one file.
This certainly fixed my problems with Microsoft Word...
A Carbide.C++ Tip
I noticed that when I was using Carbide.C++, the thread list was taking a long time to dies (sometimes up to 5 minutes).
With the help of Ling W at Carbide support it was eventually traced it down to user error.
It seems that if you kill the emulator by closing it using the red close...

Variants and Symbian
Been a while since I had a chance to post. What with the startup, summer holidays and work intruding.
The Champions day in Singapore was good fun, even got to meet Jukka and Anthony Pranata and
even got to do a day out around Singapore with Sammi and PushL.
During the week, I had an...
Google Developer Day
Between moving house, two projects in crisis, no broadband and google dev day I hav'nt had the chance to do any decent coding for the blog. I was however really impressed with what google gears potentional was on a mobile device, especially for Enterprise applications. It makes development much...
Kay mappings on the E61 etc
A couple of people this week asked how to work out what key is being pressed when capturing raw key presses. This is particularly interesting on the E61 as there are a number of variants of the keyboard and the blue keys all end up being different depending on the device and the language variant...
