Hi,
I am trying to load a JAR file I created for a college project onto my Diamond.
I created it using Java / J2ME and the GUI was created with NetBeans 6.1. The app works fine on my PC, but for added bonus points with my tutors if I could get it workong on my Diamond it would be brilliant.
I copied the Jar over and it failed to install. I then found "JAD Maker" which creates a JAD file, but this also failed with
"errno=906 Invalid Descriptor"
I have googled this, but to no joy
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
DG.
Same problem installing gmail from m.google.com/mail.. help!!!
I'm having the same issue when I try to download or load a .jar or a .jad file into my diamond.
Also does Diamond have a java machine? Or do I have to download one into the system?
You should open Java(MIDP) manager and install local file in case the file on your Internal Storage.
The jar should be MIDP2 and CLDC 1.0 or 1.1

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

Hi everyone,
I am trying to install various cab's, the ones that I have tried in the past have been one cab file. I simply transfer it to my phone and open it there.
But... some recent files appear as multiple files after I unrar them, none appear to be a traditional "cab" and I can't work out what to do with the them.
Any advice gratefully taken!
That maybe because you are extracting what you have downloaded.
What extension are they when you first download them?
Give us some examples of the full file names after extraction.

Hi Mike.
The one file for example is the Intent midlet manager, it shows _setup.xml and files such as loads of JMMFIL after I use winrar on them. Should I not be unraring them and just placing the downloaded file on the phone?
It does show as a winrar file, very confused!
In a stunning turn around of events I am an idiot, no need to extract them at all! Thanks all!
Generally a cab file will be seen by winrar/winzip as a compressed file if you open it on your pc. But normally a cab file should be copied to your phone (main memory or storage card) and run from there - no need to extract.
hey guys im really sorry for creating this thread but I downloaded a .arm file to my comp and i synced to my tilt and my tilt wont open the file. how do i open a .arm file on my tilt? sorry for the n00b question. I searched google and no answer so i was hoping my fellow tilt brothers would help out a guy in the process of learning.
As far as I know .arm is not any format native to Windows Mobile / PPC applications.
Generally, when installing software on your device it will come in one of three forrmats:
1) .CAB file - This is like a specially designed zip file which you transfer to your device and run from your device. It contains all the information to install the files in the necessary locations, and generally also creates the proper shortcuts/icons.
2) .EXE file (PPC format) - This is an executable file for your PPC. It will only run on your PPC. If you try to run this from windows you will get an error (something like "not a valid win32 application"). This is what generally gets extracted from the .CAB file aboved and gets placed somewhere on your PPC.
3) .EXE file (Windows format) - This is a normal windows .EXE file and is generally a windows based installer for the program, much like a normal installation program for any Windows PC. When you run it, it often will place a .CAB file onto your device (or into the ActiveSync queue) to be installed. this type of EXE must be run from Windows XP/Vista itself and won't launch on the PPC directly.
If you are downloading a file different from the above from a vendor, they probably also provide instructions. I have not seen any program come in a format other than the above (unless they were also compressed with ZIP or RAR and needeed uncompressing first).
here is what the ext arm could mean
http://filext.com/file-extension/arm
but it could also be that you use some odd filemanager like file explore which dont show the right extentions and the file was called blabla.arm.cab
and explore is hiding the cab
use total commander
That does make sense. A lot of cabs for the arm architecture are called for example netcf.arm.cab. If you aren't using a good file explorer you are not gonna see the file extension. Do your note shoe note.pwi?
Are you sure it's .arm & not .amr? .amr is a media type file.
I find large file extension database here http://www.file-extensions.org
Hi
trying not to sound stupid but how do I install applications like Gsen on the Diamond. I have copied the programme over into the internal memory but when I click on the java file it opens it in opera
You copy the cab file and run it on the phone, dunno what this java file is.
Java file? Where did you download it from?
Installers for WinMo are .cab files, simply copy one of those to the phone and run it as a normal installation.
For GSen go to the authors website where you will download a zip file containing the .cab installer
Hello,
I would like to know how can I find the downloaded files in HTC HD7 with WP7?
I have downloaded files from my hotmail.
It says downloading when download is finish,I can't open the file.
WP said Can't open attachment.
(There's no application associated with this file type)
I'd like to know where this downloaded attached files saved in phone.
I looked for the files by using TouchXplorer but I can't make it at all.
I have Registry Editor, TouchXplorer and my OS version is 7389.
Can someone give me an idea?
Thank in advance!
i think that file can't be accepted with wp7.
yes Ttblondey ,
I am trying to install .ttf , wp7 can't accepted.
But the download was finished.
I wonder if I can find this downloaded file.
I have chance to move to Windows\Fonts folder
The system does not work that way. Once you download an attachment, it gets stored by Outlook in some encrypted, hidden file somewhere that can only be accessed through the e-mail app. If the phone can't read it, then you are pretty much out of luck.
You are not meant to have file system access, so WP7 works very differently than a computer with file system access. Opening files that the OS does not support is not something you can do... yet.

Thank for all your advice.
I attached as a txt file to hotmail.
It saved as to the office hab. By using TouchXplorer, I found my text file under Document Folder. I changed file extension to .ttf.
Copy & paste at Windows\Fonts
can't do yet to change fonts in WP OS , still trying
