Help!

Some games/applications come as folders.
inside which u find several Java class files and almost always a folder named META.

HOW do i install such appz to the fone?

[Iceman5]

ok i dont wanna be rude or anything but did u even try????? send the .jar file to ur phone and click it. done! or u can use the installation wizard in pc suite for .jar .jad and .sis files

If you downloaded a .zip with multiple files inside rename the .zip to .jar then send it to your device.

If you downloaded a .zip with multiple files inside rename the .zip to .jar then send it to your device.

And if you downloaded a folder with multiply files Zip it then send it to your phone then rename it from *.zip to *jar in the phone.

Yep. I personally find renaming the file before you copy it to the device is easier. Its a lot easier to type.

NO NO NO it just dont work that way
When I zipped the folder n renamed it to .jar n copied it to fone it did not install, it said corrupted installation file.

and OBVIOUSLY it wont work.......cuz if u can browse the folder then it's definitely a FOLDER....with REAL contents inside....and if u ZIP them, they become UNUSABLE......until UNZIPPED........ JAR is a JAVA ARCHIVE it's NOT A ZIPPED ARCHIVE format.

These files need to be converted to . JAR

I know the Java language has acommand line program to convert multiple class files into JAR files, but anyone got smthin better that's GUI as well ??

easy to use and install?
that just takes the default folder and churns it into a JAR file without me havin to be half a Java Whiz Kid?

dont zip the folder... zip whats inside it. if its indeed a java game for ur phone it WILL work.

yes, it works tt way, rename the zip file wif mani folders in it, to jar, den send to fone. u need to change the windows folder settings on ur com. make sure the 2 options, "allow uppercase letters" and "display full name in title bar" options are clicked.

I had zip files but then I opened them or UNZIPPEd them n stored them as folders on my PC until I Cud find a way to get them inside my fone


Now I have those folders.....which in turn have lots of class files inside them
Now tell me how to go about it step by step pls.

step by step? i did!

1st, change the folder settings (as stated by previous post, im using win 98, not sure bout xp)
2nd, when u unzip the file, u got lotsa folders? zip it up again, den rename the file, for example

xxx.zip
change to:
xxx.jar

then send to fone. tts how java games are.

[SNMPwalker]

tried that uppercase and full address trick
then got different games folders
then tried winzip , windows XP default zipp util as well as winrar on each of these folders
then renamed them to JAR .

the fone recognisez them as either corrupt or smthin like... non recognized format file...

[tzeonn]

rar? u extract it? and see lots of folders?

rename the zip/rar to jar. not all the folders in there to jar!

[SNMPwalker]

Yes i did just that,
still no sugar
