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

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 don´t want that, I just wanted to point that links to shop is not warez, or is it? What is warez? I thought it was pirated stuff.

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.

I use a number of Microsoft Access Databases for my work, and each one is intensely coded and designed and basically run like actual programs. What I am looking for is to be able to take these databases with me. Now understanding that Microsoft and Android are two completely different beasts, what I really am looking for is the ability to take the tables (I use all Back-end database so all my tables are in a completely separate file then all my forms, queries, and reports) and the data with me and be able to run them in a program on Android that keeps the relationships and fields and all of that sort of stuff.
Now what would be great is the ability to use forms (even if special forms for android need to be made), run queries, and even be able to run reports and print as PDFs.
now I know how to code in VBA, hence the extensive coding I have done in Access, so anybody willing to WORK WITH in creating an Android Program to basically be an extension of Microsoft Access please contact me. Please not I use the words WORK WITH loosely, while I am trying to learn how to Program for Android, I currently do not have a computer that I can use to develop programs for android on, and well I would be only able to create the "Hello World" starter program and this project seems a slight bit more complicated. But what I can bring to the table is real world experience in testing and using the program day in and day out, a number of already existing Microsoft Access Databases ranging from Complex to Simple that I use every day. Really a program that can run Microsoft Access Tables on Android would be really useful to me and I am willing to do anything to help make this happen.

I think we must have the same job
Android utilizes an sqlite database engine and it looks like sqlite already offers a conversion utility HERE. The real question would be how to get the data in and out of the phone. Regarding forms, they definitely would need to be custom built.
Thanks this is deffenetly a start, From what I can tell this This Looks to be the most promising, It looks like all you would have to do is put a MS Access Database file on your SD CARD and have a program access it. That way you copy it back and forth. Unfortunately it doesn't support Access 2003, but I can save down. I also got a lot of learning to do in programing Java programs.
Forms would be as simply as making a program, this is great thanks much

I would like to say, "yes, please!" to this idea. I currently use Smart List to Go (the descendant of ThinkDB) on my Palm TX. The TX is dying, and I've been shopping for a replacement. HanDBase exists for the iPhone, but I don't want an iPhone. So I've been focused on WinMo - not by choice as much as by necessity.
And android option would be very welcome around my computers.

Exactly and we're talking about creating an app that would enable manipulation of an sqlite database. Essentially all that would be needed would be to create a ui framework wrapper for the existing api in android. Not the least monumental task I've heard of an individual taking on but not the most either.
The versions of pocket office that I've seen for android do not currently support Access databases as far as I'm aware. If I'm wrong could you post a link and save everyone some trouble?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Jackcess library is now patched to support android (will be in 1.2.2 release). Also seems to support 2000, 2003 and 2007 formats now.
Works great for me.
View jackcess site. Couldn't find anything on support for android. I'm using htc desire and would really like to find program to view ms access file. Can you tell me how you do it?
As I remember reading worked as on PC, while writing had some problems.
This forum prevents me from linking directly, but if you click tracker/patches on Jackcess project, check Android Compatibility Fix - ID: 3101578
The changes are in trunk and will be in the 1.2.2 release. I've added some
notes which will eventually make it to the FAQ page on the website
detailing the compatibility steps:
- Set the system property "com.healthmarketscience.jackcess.broken
Nio=true"
- Set the system property "com.healthmarketscience.jackcess.resour
cePath=res/raw/"
- Copy the *.txt, *.mdb, and *.accdb files from the
"com/healthmarketscience/jackcess/" directory in the Jackcess jar to the
"/res/raw" Android application directory.
- Before executing any Jackcess code, set the current Thread's context
classloader, e.g.
"Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(Database.class.getClassLoader())".

Until this version (1.2.2) is released you need to build lib yourself.
You also need commons-lang and commons-logging from apache commons.
Before you use Jackcess in Android code, you set
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(
getClass().getClassLoader());
System.setProperty(
"com.healthmarketscience.jackcess.brokenNio",
"true");
System.setProperty(
"com.healthmarketscience.jackcess.resourcePath",
"res/raw/");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and copy those resource files to res/raw
Then you can work as on PC, for example open /sdcard/yourprogram/file.mdb
Jackcess has no GUI, it's a library to read/write access files.
Getting an Access file into Android
I keep a lot of information on a Psion Revo, which has just turned its face to the wall and is giving up the ghost, and have always backed the information up on to my pc as an Access file. It looks easier to get this into a format acceptable to Android by converting the Access .mbx file into an Excel .xls file. This can be searched readily by Column and Values. Maybe this deals with too simple a need for most enquirers to the forum, but if it helps somebody then so much the better.
hi all i have beenlooking for something the same for some time now and just the other day i came accross this site cellica.com
the android app is free and the desktop application has a 5 day trial period or its $50 to buy it works great the only thing you can not do is create a report from the phone
i have emailed support team and they said they will be adding it on in the future.
Any Updates???
I currently build and use databases in MS Access and was wondering if there are any updates on this topic now that Tablets are in use now. Looking to get the Motorola Xoom (2nd version) in the future, but would love to be able to use a program that I would be able to access my MS Access databases while "on-the-go".
Anyone? This would be huge (I believe), since we now have tablets.
Thanks a bunch,
~Kilch~
Access to MS Access by Android
Hi,
I'm also looking to get on-the-go access to my Access databases on my Android HTC Tattoo.
The file is on it, I just need a tool to access it in read-only / search mode, but judging from the previous comments, there doesn't seem to be an oversupply in applications.
The "convert to Excel format" may be OK for me. I want to use a 3 language Access DB (dictionary) on my phone, so I'll try the Excel solution.
It would be nice if we had an ACCESS reader though...

Panacea Database
I know XDA frowns upon excessively hawking your own products here, but I do seem to be directly answering more than one of the reply questions, it just happens that the answer is an application my company released.
The Panacea Database application can handle Access from Access 2000 to Access 2007. It has also worked so far on every Access 2010 database we've tested, and we've received no complaints in that department yet. We release updates from time to time as we improve its functionality and features, often guided in our priorities by user e-mail and market comments. Our next update will be focused on improving screen layout for a variety of Android devices - from small QVGA smartphones, to large WXGA tablets. After that we may move onto other functionality.
In the interest of fairness, I'll point out arafa1209's post. He mentions Celicca Database, which is the only other application that I know of that deals with Access databases on Android. It has features Panacea does not have (yet) - ability to work with forms, ability to create and modify databases, ability to connect to your PC etc. Like us, they also send out updates improving their app regularly. So you can compare the apps, and use which one fits your needs better (or use both). If anyone knows of any others they can post here as well, but these are the only two I know of currently.
Just tried Panacea. Although it is more basic and annoyingly doesn't remember the last files you'be opened necessitating finding the file each time you open the app I prefer it for the simple reason you don't have to convert the Access database to another format.

If you update the app, this should be fixed, the last version should have this feature.
Got the update last week. Certainly goes a long way to making it more user-friendly. Keep up the great work!
Since the last update it seems to be broken. Although it remembers the last database I cannot open a table within any database.
Edit: It appears the file was corrupted. Loaded a new file and all working again.
Any news in this topic.
I tried panacea Database, works fine. But not very effective. Searching data is a must for me however I didnt manage to find a search option. When I search for tables, it cant even locate the tables by names.
Guys I am new to Windows Phone development as i have just started, so please forgive my mistakes.
I am planning to develop an app, simple app for viewing time table of my classes.
My couching classes regularly updates the time table on their website. And the link can be found here

1) How can I compile this app?
2) Is this possible or not?
3) if yes, than how?
please give suggestions

1. You will have to work with microsoft visual studio and windows phone sdk.
2. Yes it is possible
3. You can use htmlagilitypack for parsing the html. This is a very nice tutorial for that.
Ofcourse you should be familiar with programming in C# and XAML. You can easily find tutorials for these.
You could also use the AppStudio, which is an online environment for creating simple apps. It's way less powerful than Visual Studio + WP8 SDK, but it doesn't require a download and it's reportedly very easy to use (I'm used to VS, so AppStudio is no big deal to me, but you may find it more your speed).
Yes, I have searched quite a different number of ways and have yet to find another thread, on not only this site but others as well, that comes close to answering my question or asking the same one. I assume this means the answer is no, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Is it possible to hack games on my Windows 8 Phone? I have a Nokia Lumia 520. The particular game in question is Throne Wars. I'd like to get into the game and change the amount of in-game currency I have.
All help is appreciated.

Assuming in-game data is stored in the AppData folder, you could (theoretically) modify some files and results should appear.
Problems you are facing:
-you have a Lumia (so you can't really modify any files because no proper unlock is available)
-we don't know how the game stores it's data (weird file format, etc.)

If the game programmers are followed by the standard scheme only The apps can save data in any format...
Yeah, there's no guarantee that they used the IsolatedStorageSettings feature to store that data. Might have, might not have.
There's also no guarantee that it's unencrypted. Encrypting the data using DPAPI is easy, but makes editing it much harder.
You also could easily get your game account banned. Xbox Live games are known to have anti-cheating mechanisms; Throne Wars may not but then, they might.
But yeah, the key problem for you right now, aside from moderately questionable ethics (let me guess: this is one of those games where if you need more money you're expected to pay a few dollars for it?) is that your phone has no "interop-unlock" or similar "jailbreak" available right now, so you don't have any way to access the app's isolated storage at all. Thus, you can't change it.

you would need a developer unlock for that (search development & hacking section to get that on your lumia). Next grab Windows phone power tools from here: http://wptools.codeplex.com/ . Install a XAP of the game (you need to find one yourself) usinf power tools. Next you run the game, after that you can copy its data to a pc using Isolated Storage feature in power tools. enjoy.
There is some application windows phone to edit values? As cheat engine, game or game hci killer! Please answer my ask!
"Edit values" is so vague as to be meaningless. If you open Messaging on the phone and type "I don't understand computers at all", you have edited lots of values.
It sounds like what you're actually looking for is something that will let you cheat in games. Technically, this is possible on many games (although Microsoft will ban your Xbox Live account if they catch you doing it with their games). I don't feel like writing out a tutorial for how to gain access to apps' data storage and then use a file browser, though. There is not, to the best of my knowledge, any all-in-one tool that will automate doing it for you.
