Samsung Star-- JAVA Apps problems

Guys, how do we install Java games/apps in Samsung STAR?

Whenever i try to open .JAR and .JAD files it says "file type not supported" although third party pre loaded apps like Google Maps work nicely.

The guy in this site seems to have a solution using TKFileExplorer -*kartikgajetech.blogspot.com/
But the problem is that TKFileExplorer cannot detect my Samsung Star.In the PORT drop down menu nothing comes.Something SHOULD come like the picture below

Is there an alternative way to make java apps work on Samsung Star ??

T

Try downloading apps .

Samsung sucks at java.

samsung not good in java department.......nokia has wide variety of apps....

R

u need the new firmware to install java files simple,,,,,,,

P

I cancelled plan to take Star bcoz of damn poor support of apps.

even a basic SE supports JAR so nicely

R

u jst need to updrage the firmware if u r too lazy not their fault
guess u will jst hav to waste ur time charging the phone bcoz this samsung batteries are way better,,,,,,,,,

Wat?? you need a firmware update to make apps run?? What kind of a phone is that?? And yea. No phone executes java better than SE. Comparing other manufacturers to SE on java implementation is baseless.

@ dreamcatcher ,
Stop se ass licking in every post , it was about samsung star , not se.

@ raj

Do you mean with latest firmware we can just open .jar files in phone to run it ? also will it run smoothly ? I'm skeptical since even mighty omnia hd have crappy java support.

If you dunno how to speak properly, please keep shut.

R

sorry for the late response was out of town yeah i hav the new firmware & installed apps & games all working fine,,,,,,,,

He is asking for your advise and not ur opinion .
Anyway try java files of the correct resolution . They will work .

can I ask how can we play java games without D-pad...do we get touch buttons

and if we play 320x240 res game on 640x360 res will it be fine or wont be able to play

R

i dont knw abt the resolutions
but the games hav controls acc. to the games itself
sometimes a virtual keypad is provides
sometimes u hav to touch the screen

@ raj

Does the new firmware allows to install java files by copy pasting , like nokia or se or do you still need special softwares ?

Btw , any other improvement in new firmware ?

R

yeah jst copy paste then when u click on the jar file it prompts to install
new improvements are a completly new main menu.......new widget etc.

K

Thanks Raj buddy. Installed the firmware u mentioned. the catch is we dont have to press find port and if the slot is there just install it. Thanks buddy. now looking for an iphone emulator for the same. good news samsung has launched a developers site like nokia so that samsung may be improved like the SE version with some really cool apps.

R

no probs,,,,,
whts the new site for samsung developers

P

Sorry, I was down with fever past 2 days...

I was selecting M.../..250 instead BRMC2133 (as mentioned in the website ) ... and thats why phone went blank....(I was worried but I knew you guys will help me to come out of it :smile:
