How to install Java games and apps on "some" Phones
I've realized that many people cannot, do not or don't know how to install mobile java software.
If you don't know Java......
usijali, just read on you will get the gist of things.
Note that these are generic instructions, so comment to this post with the exact make and model of your phone and we *I* will point you to the right direction.
OMG! this is the first pure Geek post this year! I've changed!
Go on........... sue me for plagiarizing,,,
lakini i've put the appropriate references, kwa hivyo kula wire...
From Nokia Forums:
1. Launch PC Suite on your computer.
2. Click on the Install Applications logo (the three squares and a plus sign).
3. When the Application Installer appears, use the section on the left to choose the directory on your computer where you have the Java J2ME games or apps you want to install.
4. On the right side of the App Installer, click on "Phone Memory" and select the "Memory Card" or "Mass Storage" option. Note that if you've given your phone's memory card an odd name, it will appear instead of "Memory Card".
5. Click on the game or app you want to install on the left, and then click on the arrow button in the middle. A box will appear telling you to continue installation on the phone. Do NOT close this box, just leave it where it is for the moment.
6. On the phone's screen, follow the instructions and select "Memory Card" or "Mass Storage" or whatever the memory card is called. Be patient, the game or app may take a long time to install, especially if it's particularly large (many megabytes for example).
7. When the game or app has been successfully installed, you'll see a message telling you so. You can now go and use it. You'll probably find it in the Applications folder of the main menu, but some games or apps may install themselves elsewhere, perhaps creating their own menu folder for example.
And that's it, that's how you install Java J2ME games or apps from your computer onto your phone. You can now close PC Suite if you want.
If you want to remove a game or app, just go to its icon in the phone's menu system, click on Options and then click on Remove.
From Yahoo Answers: (Confused really)
Please follow the following steps to install the software on your Java platform.
1. Put the .JAR/.JAD on your desktop (PC), then open up your phone's software also on the desktop.
2. Drag the .jar file (from your desktop) to the icon labeled "phone memory”. You will see that it goes into an unfiled folder when it copies.
3. Go to this folder using your phone and highlight or select the .jar file. You will see from there that it will open-up and install.

You will need internet connection as well. | This guide will take you though the steps need to install java games onto your Motorola V3 mobile phone. Please have your phone ready, including a cable. You will need internet connection as well. Ok, firstly, you need Windows to recognise your phone. You can download drivers here if you haven't got them. Make sure all the drivers are in one folder. Now you plug your phone in. Windows will say "New Hardware Found." When it searches for drivers to install, remember to select the folder which you saved the drivers in. Now the drivers are installed, you will need Midway. Midway is a program which connects to your phone and allows you to install games. You can download it here. Don't open Midway yet. You will also need JADmaker, a program which converts JAR files to JAD files. Most games come in JAR files when downloaded so you need to convert them to JAD file or they won't work. You can download JADmaker here. You will need to find some games now. Here are several sites you may want to go to. java2phone mobileplayground mobiles24 mobile9 fehers When you have the game, get the JAR file and just drag it into the window of the JADmaker. A new icon should appear, it has the same name as the game and the file extension should be ending in .jad. You now need to enable Java applet loader. Download P2K tools here. Run P2K tools and plug your phone in. Click refresh and then go to "Other Features" on the left hand side. Go to the bottom of the window and click "Get." Now click Java in a column near the left. Check "Java Applet Loader" or something similar. Click "Set" next to "Get" at the bottom. Nothing may have happened but you have enabled Java Applet Loader. Now you will need to know which port your Phone is plugged into. Go to Device Manager (Start>Run> type devmgmt.msc). Go to "Modems." Double click Motorola usb modem. Click the "Advanced" tab and then click "Advanced Port Settings." There should be a drop down menu with COM# written there. Remember the number beside COM#. Open Midway and go to settings. Find the spot where it says COM# and put in the COM# that you remembered before. Click OK. Close all windows. If your phone is still plugged in, unplug it. On your phone, go to Java settings and select Java Applet Loader. It will say insert cable so insert the cable into your computer. Now open Midway. Click open JAD. Once the JAD file is opened, click download. Your phone should say Download or cancel. Select Download. Wait for it to complete and you have finished. You can now install games onto your Motorola V3 Phone.

How To install java software on Samsung using PC Sudio.
1. Transfer the .jad and .jar files to the phones memory to the 'Other Files' folder.
You can transfer the files from Samsung PC Studio's 'Phone Explorer', or just transfer it straight to the memory card and move it to 'Other Files' from the phone's menu.
If you don't have a .jad file, you can download 'Jad Maker' (google) and make a new one.
2. Exit all menus and type in this code: *#9998*4678255#.
You should now get a 'Activated' message. Java install is enabled.

Press 'Options' (left touch key) and you should get a 'Do you want to install' question.
Press 'Yes' to install.

| Ati Nani, The 1.5 and Phone Randomness |
Continued from here: http://wachirasam.blogspot.com/2008/05/ati-nani.html
So, we're kidogo (sic) high, and this bible is laying there, its a hot afte in the ka-6 by 6 cubicle of a room, and we're arguing about who'll "bag the hag" and general boredom. She's gone out to wash the dishes (did i mention it was a single room) and i picked it.
Before i go any further, it is wise to note that i read my bible by opening it at random. And believe me, whatever i read applies to my life. It all started this way....
So i randomly open the bible and fall on Proverbs.... Chapter 7! Of all the bible Verses, how now?
S i start to read aloud, my buddy giving me this quizzical look of like, Hell No, dude, u readin a Bible?
Vs 6:
I saw among the young men one without sense, walking in the street near the
turn of the road, going on the way to her house.....
Vs 21:
The Simple man goes after her, like an ox going to its death......
At this stage we're bemused,
Vs 26:
her house is the way to the underworld, going down to the rooms of death.
Nani alikwambia hatukutoka hiyo place kaa wasee wame - sting -iwa?
Yep, we ran, straight out and back to the bar, where we continued ruminating on the weirdness of the whole saga.
Suffice it to say, that was a long time ago, and the urge to drink has been replaced by some other liquids, though its been kinda tough, there's someone who's been there with me.
Anyhow....
Update: Am no longer in limbo, The new job is great, just settled in and already am supposed to be researching on Thin client solutions!
On to randomness:
How To Install The Holy Bible on your phone: (Must support Java Apps!)
1. Using your phone, browse over to http://wap.getjar.com or if you're on the P.C go to http://www.getjar.com
2. Click on "browse by device", then "browse by model"
3. click on "Search" and type Holy Bible.
4. On some phones and networks, you're not allowed to download files above 1.2mb (i think), so you might be given the option to download to P.C then transfer to phone.
5. (a) If not, click on the bible you want, read through the info and click "download to phone." The software will be downloaded, installed and will launch. Simple.
5 (b)Not so simple: (I have a motorolla L7: Yeah, gloat all you want, but its a good phone!)
I chose Holy Bible.jar (this is the java binary file)
Since the file is approx 1.4MB, i had to download it to P.C and then transfer to the phone.
How?
1. Connect your phone to the P.C in storage mode, not modem mode, so that you can see the contents of the phone in windows explorer.
2. Browse through your folders you'll find a folder called "Java" or "KJava" mine was in the Removable disk\mobile\Kjava
3. Copy the Holy Bible.jar file to this Kjava folder.
4. unplug the phone from the P.C
5. On the phone, browse to "Applications" (Mine was Games and Applications)
6. Select Options, you'll find the option to "Install New". Select it.
7. Select Holy Bible and Voila!
You're set.
Update: Another bible free for download is Go Bible. Haven't tested it, so cannot vouch for its usability. |
