Starcraft Java - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps

Im not sure if this is considered warz so I am sorry in advanced if it is.
http://dibosmobile.blogspot.com/2007/09/mobicraft-starcraft-java-game.html
would it be posable to port that over to the kaiser? I dont know anything at all about java so sorry if this is a stupid question.

This would be awesome!!! I am an avid Starcraft fan. I have played it many many times and I have even downloaded many different missions.
I have downloaded the provided link but there doesn't seem to be any executable or .jar file? I wonder how this app works?

if anybody figured out how to play this game, let us know...
Starcraft is one of the best games ever!!

I am proud to report I made some progress I couldent figure out how to make a .jar file so I downloaded anoter game in .jar format and I prettymuch hijacked it I got starcraft to open now im trying to figure out how this game works. I have the .jar if someone could tell me how to post it.

The download I recieved was a password protected zip file called _dibosmobile.blogspot.com_-MobiCraft_Starcraft.zip. I unzipped it with the given password 'dibosmobile'. Inside of that there was a MobiCraft_Starcraft.zip file. It's actually a jar file (has the classes and manifest file). So, just rename it to be .jar instead. Copy that to your mobile and click it from File Explorer.
I've got MobiCraft menu up running at 24fps.

bad news
Sorry to say this to you all but mobicraft is pretty frozen. I joined the beta test team for it right before development stopped, and havent seen any updates since. SF link
The bad news is, its not playable. Really the only thing that worked was the chat, but its down now since they lost hosting. You could bug em I guess? Sorry.

OK I have changed the zip file to jar and it installs and runs the menu at 32fps. The problem is I can't get it to accept the new game. It doesnt recognise the d-pad fully? What button do you press for OK to begin new game?

Use # as ok and * as back/cancel the game was not designed for our phones so it operates on numbers 0-9, #, * and the d-pad.

Someone Please Help me!!

I was wondering if someone could please help me as I am a complete noob at this. I recently purchased the Tilt (Kaiser) and I love it. My question is what is the best emulator for SNES to run on the tilt and can anyone give me a step by step instruction on how to put it on my phone. I was also curious as to how to put Shadow Of Legend on as well (cant seem to do it). I have plenty of space as I have a 4gb sdhc card. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you in adavance.
Nick
There are quite a few emulators around. Some people like one and some people will hate it. It's all about personal prefs really.
Have a look around the web http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=snes+emulator+for+pocket+pc&meta=
find a few and install them.... usually they are just a cab file that needs putting on your device and then clicking to run it exactly the same as any other PPC bit of software
Yo guy, stop making the same thread over and over again. The mods keep closing them for a reason you dope.
Sorry man im just getting overly frustrated with this i cant seem to get it on my phone i dont know exactly what to do.
Ok, I'm going to try and close this topic once and for all...
I went to http://www.spicypixel.com/web/page/morphgear/Download.aspx and downloaded MorphGear and SNES9X MorphModule by clicking on the link [CAB].
I then extracted both of the resulting ZIP files on my Vista box, and copied them to my phone using WM Device Center. After the copy was complete, I tapped on both CABs to install them (to Main Memory). I then copied one of my SNES games to my phone (I will not provide any of these because they are illegal unless you have the physical cartridge in your possession).
I then went to Start -> Programs -> Games -> MorphGear, and launched the program. THERE WAS NO MENTION OF NEEDING A SERIAL NUMBER, MorphGear is an open source application.
I then clicked on the Open file icon and browsed to where I copied Super Punch Out (my SNES game of choice) to, and tapped on it to open.
I spent 30 minutes playing it at FULL 60fps with NO slowdown due to piss poor video drivers that we have to work with.
Please do not take this next part the wrong way, but if you do not know how to install a CAB file or copy files to your device using either ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center, you need to do A LOT of reading before you attempt to do anything other than make/receive phone calls on your device.
Good luck, and I hope this helps.

How to display Java Games in Full Screen ?

Hi,
I tried a few java games today from gameloft, and they eventually showed up 320x240 (which is very small) on my diamond.
Anyone knows a way to make the game to show full screen ?
Any help would be appreciated.. thanks
(I've tried the 'search' button)

AFAIK there is no way of scaling up games. you need to install 640x480 games to get full screen (as that is the screen res).
Any links ?
of course not, we don't condone warez
to be honest, i havent found any worth playing!

Google?
Many games are "clever" to detect the screen resolution, not because the VGA as we have in diamond , because of
many kinds of mobiles with many resolutions, i have some java games working fine with the vga resolution (beside the
fonts are too small)
java
there is a small app to change resolution, You have to open *.jar file and edit something, google it cause i do not remember all
If you are going to buy a game, bejeweled 2 is great!

I had Puzzle Quest Warlords on my Instinct. I would like to be able to play that one on my Diamond.
It's basically Bejeweled with kind of an rpg storyline twist. Fun and addictive.
Can't seem to get it to run with Esmertec tho.

Some games can be changed by modifying the MANIFEST.MF file.
Here is an example (using the excellent 7Zip Program)...
Open 7Zip
Browse to your Java Game & open it
Open the folder "META-INF"
in the "META-INF" folder should be a file called "MANIFEST.MF" - right click it & choose Edit [F4] - the file should open in a text editor (i.e. Notepad).
Perform edits...
If the file contains the lines (or something similar)
Code:
Nokia-MIDlet-Original-Display-Size: 176,208
Nokia-MIDlet-Target-Display-Size: 240,320
change them to
Code:
Nokia-MIDlet-Original-Display-Size: 176,208
Nokia-MIDlet-Target-Display-Size: 480,640
Otherwise, just add them.
Mostly, you need to get the Original-Display-Size correct and even then, this doesnt work for all games.
If that doesnt work, then I have found some games contain the lines
Code:
LGE-MIDlet-TargetLCD-Width: 240
LGE-MIDlet-TargetLCD-Height: 320
Obviously these can be changed to
Code:
LGE-MIDlet-TargetLCD-Width: 480
LGE-MIDlet-TargetLCD-Height: 640
Close the text editor & save your edits
Click yes on the 7Zip message box to update the original archive
Transer the modified JAR to your device, install it & cross your fingers.
NOTE: I am by no means an expert in this arena - this info comes from searching the net, opening many JARs & trial and error (i.e. your questions will likely go unanswered).
Give it a shot - might work - I've had about 40% success.
Regards, Steve.

Question for developers

Right away, forgive my ignorance on the subject, I'm sure I can spend 10-12 hours searching forums and figure it out or someone can take 2 min and just answer it.
Lets say one was to take an app from the market and unzip it into a folder to see what it's made out of. Let's also say that one has absolutely no clue about android, Linux or programming in general, just too much curiosity and a phone to play with. So that certain individual (and I will not admit that it was me, it was.... my friend) found .dex file inside and thought of editing it, nothing fancy, just replace some URLs with other URLs. Here the question: How would I (I mean... my friend) would edit .dex file? Notepad seems to do it but something tell me (I mean... my friend) that it's not the right way. How would I put that app back toghether into .apk format after I'm done with it (Agh, screw it, it's me, it's not my friend). I should also note that I'm not trying to do this for profit or trying to steal someone's app.
Any help is greatly appreciated
You my friend are a Grade A tard.
apk files are not unzipped.
Decompiled maybe?

Whatever you would like to call it. If it make you happy, I "decompilied" apk file using WinRAR to get a number of files including above mentioned .dex file.
Now that we have that figured out, how do I edit .dex file and repack everything else into .apk?
Thanks
First off, yes you can open the .apk file and see the other files but the files for the actual app are compiled. They arent editable. You would need the source to edit the app in any way.
As to the .dex file if you can open it with a text editor and change stuff all you are likely to do is break the app. As for putting it back together and getting it to install, good luck. You will probably need to get it resigned or something.
If you are wanting to learn how to make apps for android you should download the SDK. I believe there is a tutorial with some example apps that you can make out there somewhere also.

Agh, now we are getting somewhere.
Just for the record: I do not want to make apps, I'd rather leave it to pros and pay few bucks for working app that has no bugs.
The app I am referring too is StreamFusion which is a streaming audio player. Initial install puts about 30 preloaded stations in the playlist, none of which are of any interest to me. I unzipped apk and found this .dex file (resources.dex? not at home, can't check) which contained URLs for default-loaded streams. All I want to do is replace them with URLs of my own so I don't have to search shoutcast,add my stations and delete defaults everytime I decide to wipe my phone. Sounds like such a simple task, yet there's no clear documentation on how to do something like that (at least for the non-dev crowd).
With that said, I don't want to change the way StreamFusion, they do give you an option to remove defaults manually (one by one!) and they do give you an option to add your own stations in the playlist. It just takes too long and I've done it a few too many times already.
I'll keep playing with it, let me know if anyone for sure knows how to do it, otherwise I'll report when I figure it out or when I get tired of it.
Sorry for being rude earlier, i was in a bad mood
If you mean StreamFurious all you need to do is long press the radio station and hit delete

Have you actually tried renaming an .apk file to .zip and opening it? In short, apk is just like a jar. They're just zip files with specific metadata requirements.

when in doubt .. HEX .. hex editing of a file can maintain its purest essence and prevent it from crashing .. provided of course that you edit the right parts .. i've done this thousands of times in computer games .. change one little thing and POOF! your scrawny little piss-ant becomes mighty hercules and you can slay the dragon - LOL - ok .. so maybe not so korny

The defaults that are hard-coded into the apk are loaded on first run into a sqlite3 database. Sure you could edit the hard-coded defaults, but this would be an unclean solution. A better solution would be to backup the sqlite3 database to your computer and restore it with adb whenever you reinstall. You can also easily edit the database conveniently on your pc as well.
The location of the db is /data/data/com.streamfurious.android.free/databases/streamfurious.db
By the way, the SF defaults already include KQED, BBC WS and TWiT. What more could anyone possibly need
You can decompile apk class files from the dex file.

As for repacking it after the edit.....check this out this might help...

Quake 3 arena on fuze

i've seen videos, i have everything but i dont have the pak files where can i get them?
Not here. Check around the usual places. They are still under license, you know.
Try looking...

PAK files are available when you BUY and INSTALL the full game onto your computer. Any other way would be stealing. Like torrents or doing a little searching on your part instead of having other people do the search for you...
http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/28138830/Quake+III?tab=summary
You do need a working q3 cd key from a purchased game, there isnt currently a windozeCE IOq3 source available that i know of.
Q3 is open source and has been for years.
q3ce.cab
the problem was finding the pak's and converting them, i have a copy of quake 3 i just didn't understand how to convert them sorry if i wasn't clear
Just read the instructions that came with the package. Also, I couldn't make the convert work on Windows 7 RC1, on XP it worked fine, though it took about 20 minutes to convert everything.
However after conversion and copying all files to storage card, executing q3a.exe produced "Q3CE is not a valid pocket pc application". After digging arround found modified package for HTC Diamond, it starts, I see something in the log window and then it dies.
Anyone got it working on Fuze?

Is there a way to open .apk and find the code

Hi All,
i was wondering if there is a way to open a .apk file and see the coding for the app. Thanks in advance for your help all.
You mean like reverse engineering? It's a pretty fine line around here...
Not tryin to do anything bad or illegal..just wanted to see what an app code looks like...how its broken down....thats all
most apks arent just one thing. the apk acts like a zip file, containing potentially lots of files inside. you can use winrar to open them just fine.
thanks just tryin to learn what makes an app and how it works

thats where you should go then lol
Thanks B-man007...i will check that out
Just rename your .apk extension to .zip and unzip it. You will get to see some stuff there.
Stuff you can't see readily:
The manifest file can be viewed with some tools available on sourceforge (very easy). You can disassemble/reassemble the .dex file(s), but I warn you that this is a pain in the A. I have done it several times and cursed all the way through each time.
What are you trying to do?
Easy apk dissassembler.
The most easy way to dissassemble APK is using this app:
Is easy and intuitive.

reverse engineering is how i learned to write my own programs for my ti-86 graphing calculator back in high school. seeing how/why things work inside an established program helped me figure out what i needed to make what i wanted. i wish app development was as easy as basic haha. of course, i say that with no knowledge of java or android programming. i plan on going to school starting next year to learn it though.
