Install java games/apps on windows mobile smartphones/pocket pc phones

Posted: 3/30/2008 By daniel Email this | Comments | Post New Blog | |

There's always a Java Midlet Manager or Java vm (jvm) with your phones - this allows you to store and play Java games and apps.

The Java games/apps usually come in the form of "midlets" - these are recognised by the file type *.jar. Now, all you need to do is grab a .JAR file, then copy it across to somewhere on your Smartphone, then run it.

  1. Download game (.JAR file)
  2. Sync phone, then copy .JAR file across to \Storage\My Documents
  3. Using internal file browser on the phone, click and run .JAR file
  4. This loads up the Java Midlet Manager and will install the file

Once this is done you can re-run the game simply by launching the Java Midlet Manager - the steps above simply INSTALL it.

After this, it's just a matter of getting the latest .JAR file and installing it!
