Please help me with my 7210

[Breathe]

Ok, I know this is a weird question, but I'm wondering; if I upload a game to the mobile, it goes into the Applications menu, is there anyway to move it under games??

[Iceze]

No, I dont believe you can move the game using the phone alone.

You could probably try using software found www.logomanger.co.uk to try.

If anyone has successfully acheived this please let us know.

This is very possible, but you have to modify the jad-file (NOT the jar-file).

I don't exactly remember what the values are, but try to download bounce for 7210, and study the jad-file and compare it with the jad-file of the game you want to install...
It's pretty obvious when you see the difference.

If you still can't figure, just let me know and I'll post a how-to when I get home from work.

[Breathe]

thx mate

I'll try this now
but I would still be glad if you tell me exactly what the part needed to be changed so I don't mess up
You can take your time

Hi again

It shouldn't be a problem... a jad-file is only text.
it only describes the jar-file..
how big the file is, who made it, when it was made, and among those where to place the file...

You know where to find bounce for download, right?
just browse the forum and you'll find it on a russian site I believe.

Just open the files in notepad... gonna be easy to tell the difference...

And it won't harm your phone in any way

[Breathe]

ummm will problem is I can't seem to find the old bounce anywhere...

all I keep finding is bounce 1.8 (even on the russian site)

[btn21]

Bounce v1.8 works just fine (it's actually the first version that works normally without any horrible bugs).

You can look at the jad-file that comes with bounce v1.8...
compare it with the jad-file in the game you want to install...

This is an example of Nokia's Bounce v1.8 jad-file:

MIDlet-1: Bounce, /icons/icon.png, com.nokia.mid.appl.boun.Bounce
MIDlet-Name: Bounce
MIDlet-Vendor: Nokia
MIDlet-Version: 1.8
Nokia-MIDlet-Category: Game <-- look at this line!
MIDlet-Jar-Size: 55563
MIDlet-Jar-URL: http://www.softwaremarket.nokia.com/...S_no-NO_sv.jar

MIDlet-1: Sky Diver, /icons/sdicon.png, com.nokia.mid.appl.skyd.SkyDiverMIDlet

I guess you should understand now

Use wordpad... it handles the file better

hi der, wat exactly do we need to modify in the jad file so that wen we upload the game it will go to the "games" menu and not in the "applications" menu? wat do you mean by comparing the two files above? we will delete this or somethin?

You will have to add or modify the lines I pointed at....
I told him to compare the files so that he could see the difference... if you're wondering what files... read the posts thoroughly.
Maybe I can post some examples after I get home so that you can test it on your own phones...


Does anyone know a little java and programming out there?
Maybe you can make a small software that changes or adds this string to the JAD-files... Just to make it easy for people who don't have much clue.
Should be very easy...

[Breathe]

well, it says Games on the .jad files but it STILL goes into applications...

[btn21]

Hmmm... I must have forgotten something I did to make it work...

Can you send the files to my mailbox, I can have a look at it sometime during the day.
If you have a link, then just post the link for me so that I can dl the files myself.
When I have figured, I'll post a full how-to manual. I was supposed to do that last nite but I was busy replacing my brain with alcohol.

My mail is btn21@despammed.com

thx for your time btn21

[btn21]

Hi again...

I'm sorry for being so slow.
I tried to modife the jad-files yesterday as I told you to do.
I even made a jad-file from scratch, but unfortunately it didn't work.
I know I managed to put it in the games folder once, but I just can't remember what I did.
As I told you, I have also been screwing around with different software and application uploaders and aslo some recompiling and stuff... so it's a little hard to remember what I did.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?
I'm pretty busy these days with my job and I'm moving too, so I don't have much spare time. I don't have too much time in front of my computer at home.

[Breathe]

oh well

it's ok
thx for your time mate and good luck with moving, it can be a pain inthe ass I know


does anyone else know the answer please?
