View Full Version : Loading Java Midlets using Windows Vista

Ok, so I've tried many different ways of trying to load games onto my v3re using Windows Vista. Here is what I have found to work best:

I got MOTODEV Suite for Java ME and installed it. It has a utility called Mway (NOT MIDway.) There could be a standalone version of it, but I'm not sure. MIDway and MotoMidMan won't work. In any case, here are the steps I follow:

1. Plug in the phone. Open up MOTODEV Suite. There's a sub-window called Jave ME options. Click on the Tools tab.

2. Click on the Config Tool. Your computer will open and close the connection between your phone. There will be an icon in the system tray. It'll flash red, and then when you wait, it will go green. If not, try running RSD Lite in the background. Note: The config tool may say the phone is not connected. As long as the system tray icon is green, you're connected.

3. Unplug your phone. Go to Settings>Java Settings>App Loader. The app loader will have you plug in the phone. Plug it in, and it will tell you the JAL link is active. The icon in the bottom left hand corner of the screen will be BLUE.

4. Back in the same window as the Config Tool, click Deployment. It will pull up a subwindow called deployment tool. Select the JAD for the app you're trying to load (note, you must have a JAD and a JAR for the app.) Select a COM port. The only port that works for me is 4.

5. In the upper right hand corner of the Deployment Tool sub-window, there's a button with a little green arrow. Hover over it, and it will say "Deploy." Click on it. It will bring up the status

6. It may say "MWAY> Opening port COM4... Failed!" That's not fine, per se, but it's expected. Click on the button repeatedly. The computer may disconnect the phone and reconnect it. If the icon in the system tray goes green, go ahead and unplug it. Run the app loader, and try again. Yes, this does work eventually.

7. It may say
MWAY> Opening port COM4... Done.
MWAY> Transmitting JAD...
AMS: Serial: port[1] Data ready 6 byte(s).
SJAL : sjal_DataRdyHandler : got 15 bytes, expecting 84
SJAL : Timer expired.
MWAY> Unable to connect to the phone! Quitting...
MWAY> Closing port COM4... Done.
MWAY> Transmission failed!

This is actually a relatively good sign. If I can get it to do this, I usually just have to click on the deploy button five or six times, and it starts loading.

8. If that fails, try it on other ports.


I know it's not great, but that's as good as I can come up with. Using this method, I can load all games compatable with the v3re. If I've helped, please click the thanks button.

If anybody has another way of reliably using Vista to load Java apps, PLEASE post and tell me.

So you got working good or good enough?

Danation

Yeah, I think so. After trying a bunch, it looks like I can get my apps installed.

Some games, after l install them, come up with an "Application Error" but I think that has more to do with the phone's compatability with the game.

ding ding ding correct answer I get that all the time as try diff games and apps. You just trudge through them and the ones that work keep if not delete. Want a list of games Ive found to work with our phone?

YOUR WELCOME, if jad files are giving you a hard time I can send to you, or give you a guide on how to create/fix jad files, or you can look for a program called "jadmaker" which someone said they used and it worked.

Danation

Yeah, JAD Maker works perfectly. I've had no problems with JAD issues.

Can you point me in the direction of where you downloaded it from?

uh.... I don't remember, lol. I think I just googled it and clicked on one of the first couple links and found it.

Is MOTODEV Suite the same as MOTODEV Studio? Because I can only find MOTODEV Studio.

Danation

Yeah, it looks like they changed the name since I wrote that guide. I'm pretty sure this is the right one:

are you sure its the jad file you have?? usually the jar file is the one you create the jad from. try copying the file to another location and just rename the extension to the one you need.

i cant remember, but i think creating a jad file consisted of zipping the jar file then renaming .zip to .jad..... in any case, it was a simple procedure like that:)
