constellation-wp7

This is one workspace for the Windows Phone 7 FullUnlock components. One basis install clones all of them side by side. The workspace defines no build, run, or test actions. Each project targets Visual Studio 2008, Windows Mobile 6, and the WP7 SDK (ARMv4I). You build them on Windows with those toolchains, not here.

Components

On-device modules (the unlock chain):

• clkflt — a WinCE file-system filter (clkflt.dll). It redirects file lookups, so the OS serves patched copies of stock system modules.
• ulv — a loader verifier (ulv.dll). It stands in for \Windows\mslvmod.dll and relaxes module authentication, so unsigned code loads.
• upl — a policy engine (upl.dll). It stands in for the stock policy engine and grants access that the OS would normally deny. It links ulv.lib and iri.lib.

Usermode helpers:

• accman — an account manager (accman.exe). It elevates account privileges to full trust through the ADB API and HKLM\Software\OEM\Accman. It uses the shared common headers (github.com/maximmenshikov/common) as a git submodule.
• uplhlp — a policy helper (uplhlp.exe). It is the companion to upl. It watches the policy message queue and shows localized toast notifications. It links StringLoader.lib.

Shared library:

• StringLoader — a resource-string loader (StringLoader.lib). It loads localized strings from WP7 .mui resources. uplhlp uses it.

Install

Run basis install to clone every component into this workspace. Each component is its own git repository (github.com/maximmenshikov/<name>). Read each component's README for its build steps.
