Installing Java Games on V3re

[marx404]

I have not had any luck trying to install Java Games on my V3re. First, I tried MIDman, but it worked only one time, I sucessfully installed one game and I have not been able to get it to work again...weird. (I have plenty of free space too!)

Then I tried motomidman, which recognized my phone according to the bottom ststus bar, bbut when I tried to view files, I got a error "Unsupported Platform Can't" so this leads me to believe that this app is no good for V3re either. I have R334A.

I then checked the log file and near the end is this:

Model: V3re
Processing J2MEST...
Unsupported platform. Can't continue.
p2kapi.GetVolInfo: 0x0012CA78
p2kapi.GetVolInfo: 4586193, /a, ok
p2kapi.GetVolFreeSpace: /a/
p2kapi.GetVolFreeSpace: 4586193, ok
Disk /a/, 4586193 bytes free
Ready


This tells me that J2MEST is not compatible. What is wrong and how do I fix it?

Thank you Dumba. One thing I have learned from testing and lots of patience is that if I play with variables, I can get or find out why some apps won't work.

I finally got MIDman to play well with my V3re. The trick is to hit Send AT command button after connecting the cable, then I can successfully send the java app.
