JAVA app from HERO

I've just pushed new Hero Java app into my rogers build and it works fine.
What you basically need is:
Jbed.apk (install with adb install)
libjbedvm.so (adb push /system/lib) - remember to remount as RW.
I strongly suggest to run linux-swap (as it killed all my applications and hanged for some time without it).
Files taken from Drizzy's build.

I just went to getjar.com and d/l the jbed runner, installed and it worked perfectly without pushing it but I haven't found any good use for it, must java programs are worthless on our phones since they were made for regular phones and not smartphones like ours

I have a .jar file on sd, but it doesn't read. Anyone know for what OS i have to download it for (ei: motorola razr)

What is remount as RW? Just want to make sure I get this done correctly.
So I just download it and then:
adb install jbed.apk
adb remount
adb push libjbedvm.so /system/lib
adb shell reboot

Correct?

/system is originally read only, you can't write files to it. It's for protection/security reasons. Run the following command, which remounts it as RW (read-write, instead of read only).
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

I've used Nokia N95 ebuddyIM to test. Some of apps doesn't work (to be honest my biggest motivation was trying to run SmartCam for S60).

You can use it to run java (J2ME) apps. Like the ones from getjar.com

Wanting to know the same thing..

You don't need to do all this, I posted before that, go to getjar.com and find the j2me runner and install, it works the same and does work on cyan's roms

Put both files on root of sdcard.. and do this on terminal
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/jbed.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/libjbedvm.so /system/lib
reboot
Or download it from getjar.com like gridlock32404 said..
And yes it works on cyan's rooms..

Chances are you will need to run a fully compliant j2me jad or jar file. as for a jad u need to make sure the jar file has the full path or else it will fail.
java apps made specifically for Blackberries and not for universal j2me devices will not work as well as most java apps for Symbian based Nokia phones and specific Ericsson models.
Also a lot of Nokia apps will not have properly built manifests but those u can go in and correct or build yourself and repack the jar
your best option for downloads are any Motorola or Samsung since 99% of them are purely java based with the exception of the few Win Mob

As hinted at in the other thread, the solution is to delete some stuff from your /system/ directory.
I deleted about 20 ringtones I never use from /system/media/audio/ringtones and then repeated the adb push command. Worked a treat.

Good J2ME runner for CyanogenMod (Donut)?

Hi,
Does anyone know of a good J2ME runner for CyanogenMod 4.1.999? I've tried Netmite's J2ME Runner but frankly it's slow, eats up valuable screen real estate, and messes up the fonts.
In one of enomther's ROMs there's a "vsapps" jbed.apk download that's very good. I think it's the same one from Esmertec that you find in Windows Mobile builds.
Does anyone know where to get a version that's compatible with CM?
Thanks

Nevermind, I was able to get it from here

How do you install it? I saw the steps but it doesn't go into detail. Do I type that as a superuser? And is the "java.zip" suppose to sit in the root of the SD card? Thanks.

the steps on how to install it is by using adb, not through su. here's a guide on how to use adb if you want to try it out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719

Here are instructions if you don't have ADB setup on your computer:
unzip java.zip, and place the contents (jbed.apk and libjbedvm.so) onto your sdcard (don't put it in any folders).
go into terminal and type (remember its case sensitive):
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
busybox cp /sdcard/Jbed.apk /system/app
busybox cp /sdcard/libjbedvm.so /system/lib
reboot
then it should work

I am using CM 4.2.3.1 and i've just install, it's running OK.
Pls. reboot your phone afer install.
cheer

gonna install this now!!

Just re-tested on CyanogenMod 4.2.5 with the following procedure and it's working
adb remount
adb install Jbed.apk or adb push Jbed.apk /system/app
adb push libjbedvm.so /system/lib
adb shell reboot

Not working on Cyanogen 4.2.9.1
PS: you can also place the libjbedvm.so into /data/data/com.esmertec.android.jbed/lib - by this way the lib file won't get lost after every reflash...

Help using Terminal

I'm currently using Dwangs donut ROM.
For some strange reason my Terminal Emulator is "missing".
There is no icon for it in my app tray.
Market shows it as installed, but cannot open it nor uninstall it.
I have now installed Better Terminal Emulator Magic. What commands do I need to enter to completely remove Terminal Emulator from my system, so that I can try reinstalling it from the Market?
I hope I've made myself clear - if not please feel free to ask for clarification!

Look in the Development Tools or Spare Parts. I've seen a couple builds where it ends up in there.

To remove it do this in the recovery console
mount system
rm /system/app/Term.apk (i think that is the name for it)
reboot

Ah, now we're getting somewhere (sort of!)
I've done that, but get the response:
rm: cannot remove ' /system/app/Term.apk' : No such file or directory

that means its not there or its spelled wrong..
try using /system/sd instead of system
also, maybe clearing the market cache would work

Tried both of these - no joy :-(
1. Same response as before
2. Terminal Emulator still showing as installed (but Open & Uninstall buttons greyed out), even after clearing Market cache.

well if you dl one of cyanogens roms, you can pull the apk from there and push it to system

Yea or adb install -r

if it is not in /system/app then you can drop it in there with these commands, make sure that the .apk is in the root of your sdcard
Code:
mount sdcard
mount system
cp /sdcard/Term.apk /system/app/
reboot

FaceBook not installed. Market thinks it is. Need a fix.

So, I had facebook for android installed and recently update to cyanogens latest ad somehow it got deleted. Could have been a theme that removed it, as I didn't notice it until after I applied a theme. The icon was still on my home screen, but not in the app tray and the widget is gone.
Anyway I when into the market and it says its installed, its not and the option to uninstall or open is grayed out.
Any way to fix this?

In order to get it fixed for me I had to go into adb and
Code:
adb shell
rm -r /system/app/com.facebook.katana
rm -r /data/data/com.facebook.katana
exit
adp push Facebook.apk /system/sd/app
The app still didn't work but I was then able to uninstall it in the market and reinstall the market version and it has worked fine.

The reason you're getting that, is because it doesn't exist in that directory, try the second command, and see if it gives you the same error.

put the apk on sd and try this :
1. Open a Terminal Window:
2. Type the following:
- su
- mount /system -o remount,rw
- cd /sdcard
- cp "appname".apk /system/app

Help with uninstalling FACEBOOK app that came with NAVi Hack

OK! My problem is I want to use the Facebook for android but when I upgraded to the latest CM it vanished.... so I check my app list to see that Facebook is still installed on my phone.... I just cant get rid of it... When I go to the APP the options OPEN and UNINSTALL are greyed out...... and when I check app manager FACEBOOK is no where to be found....... I was told I might need to go through $SU to uninstall the facebook app... but I do not know the commands....
So heres where you guys come in.
Can you guys help me troubleshoot this problem, and solve it?

delete the apk from /system/sd/app. Download a file browser if you don't know how to use the rm command.

This is what I did to solve the problem:

Tried something on a hunch, and it worked.
Mounted via ADB and removed the app. Then removed all traces of the app from Dalvik-Cache. Rebooted, reinstalled via the market. Boom, problem solved.
For others having similar issues, maybe give this a try?
Exact steps I followed:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/app/com.facebook.katana.apk
rm /data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]
