Hi, i just downloaded space invaders game which is a PRC file, i have tried adding it to the games folder, and using the MIDlet mnger to try and find it.
Every time i try to run it i get an application error. The files are on my desktop pc, anyone know where i copy and paste them to onto the pocket pc? Have tried copying to my storage card, but still get the application error, perhaps PRC is an unsupported file type? (bit of a pocket pc noob im afraid)
Any help much appreciated.
Sorry! .prc files are for Palms!
You need .jar files to install to your midlet manager

I deleted the java link in my program list of the start menu by accident . I want to put it back there but can't find the JAVA program and am still unsure how to create the link. I am sure that java is still on the tytn as I can start java applets.
Any advice how to create the link and where I can find Java program ?
try to search for the file with some file manager(total commander,...), it should be somewhere in windows folder
Found it ! When searching with Total Commander I found the program and a shortcut. Copied it back to windows/startmenu/programs.
Cheers !
hi guys, im new here and got my diamond just yesterday.. its my first pocket pc, and i need real help..
looked around the forums and found a lot of good stuff..
downloaded a couple of applications like advanced configuration tools, gsen, registery editor, but i dont know how to install them. when i unzip the files on my pc the are in xml format and when i double click on the setup file it opens in notepad..
plz help me, what should i do? how do i install these applications?
Instead of unzipping the .cab files on your pc, you need to copy them to your diamond (using activesync or select 'disk drive' when you plug it in).
Then open file explorer on your diamond, navigate to where you copied the .cab file, and run it - .cab is an installer file for windows mobile applications

Do the following, hehe
When you download most programs they will be in .CAB format. Now all this means is that they can be installed DIRECT from the phone.
What I do is create a folder on my Diamond in Internal Storage called APPS and make sure my Diamond is synced to my pc / laptop using Activesync on XP or Windows Mobile Device centre if on Vista and then copy all the .CABS that i have downloaded into the APPS folder on my phone.
Once im ready to install the applications its very simple.
On your Diamond click on START and then PROGRAMS and locate FILE EXPLORER.
When FILE EXPLORER has loaded up in the top left of the window you will notice a memory card icon with the current directory you mobile is pointing to, push this and you will then see MY DEVICE and the location you are currently at.
If you have used a pc before its very similar to how the pc windows explorer used to navigate, anyway, select MY DEVICE and then choose INTERNAL STORAGE and then APPS.
Then its just a matter of selecting which application you wish to install as all the .CABS will be displayed. Select the one you want to install and follow the installation process.
If there are any small programs 1mb or less then I tend to install these onto my phone storage memory and for games I install them onto INTERNAL STORAGE but its up to you. Some programs require a SOFT RESET to work.
The SOFT RESET button is located where the STYLUS is stored on the phone, pull the STYLUS out and then you will see a RED BUTTON inside.
Push this and your phone will restart.
There is more information here at good ol xda-developers.com and also http://modmydiamond.info
Hope this helps!

How do you add/load Java games to the 8925 tilt which are (jar.) files? Also enabling the to launch through the Java Powered program installed on the device?
I've done it before but not lately and I don't have any .jar files on my phone so I can't test right this minute but try one of the following until it works
(1) Go into explorer and selected the .jar you want to install
(2) Start the Java program/utility and either
A - click on the .jar you want to install (if a list of .jar files is populated)
B - Click Menu > Install > Brower or Local Files
Someone else can chime in if you haven't figured it out yet

I just now ran through it to make sure I remembered what I used to know.
1. Make your self a folder (I call it Temp or the SD card).
2. Move the .jar and .jad (if you have a .jad) to that Temp folder.
3. Find the files with file exploere and tap the .jad or .jar if you have no .jad.
The game will "self install in to the Java folder in the \Windows\ root.
4. Some ROMs have no Java folder (.lnk) on the \Programs\ menu. A Java.lnk will be in the \Windows\ root though. Using Total Commander, copy the Java.lnk to the Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ folder.
Note: You don't need the .jad but it makes for more flawless installs. It contains the "road map" for the Java installer.
Hope that helps.
i tried it today and worked perfectly. dragged the .jar files and put it in my documents then i installed it and opened the java program and it was there.
but now im having a problem lol. i was going to remove one of my installed games, but then i accidentally uninstalled ALL my games, even the ones that came with the phone, i.e brain challenge, ms. pacman, solitare, etc.
i remember reading from somewhere that i can find all of those default games inside one .cab file. but i dont know where to find it in my phone.. or if someone has all the default games, do you mind sharing it with me.. thanks in advance!! need this asap lol

Well, I don't have the Java app, but I guess any .jad file with its .jar companion should be it...
