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...

Yea, you'd think that would'nt you.. When I run Regs "root me" , It tells me I'm already rooted, but when I try the command, $ su , I get the above message..or permission denied..

Also, I see # from adb shell command, but the phone thinks its not rooted. What up with that. If I try to install busybox it says " No root access" , rom manager the same thing...all I want to do is install a recovery so I can get off the stock rom..
Have you tried something as simple as updating su in the play store and trying? If not, try flashing an HERCIMG recovery through hboot.

Old old thread but if someone encounters this again, it is due to busybox SU not having the correct permissions and can be corrected easily.
I got the info from here: ttp://forum.nas-forum.org/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=526
Quoted from that page:
Code:
su: must be suid to work properly
I finally discovered that /bin/busybox which provides su (and in fact almost all commands) has not its set UID , i.e. the unix rights are
Code:
rwxr-xr-x instead of rwsr-xr-x
i could finally change the rights with
Code:
chmod 4755 /bin/busybox
and su works fine again

Just thought I would share since I saw this on my synology NAS and it pretty much directly applies to this issue from an age ago.
yes, you need to su in order to make it work as administrator.

BusyBox problem: installed twice, removed one, damaged system

Hello guys, please help me out with this problem! I've been working on all day but my phone is still bad...
When I rooted my device BusyBox was supposedly installed by the toolkit I used to root (mskip's).
Then I installed BusyBox installer market app (Stericson's) and it said "BusyBox location could not be found". I thought it wasn't installed so I used the "smart install" with the default values, so it was installed to /system/bin and all the applets were listed as symlinked to /system/bin/busybox
After a while I realized that it was installed both in /system/xbin (by the root toolkit) and in /system/bin (by busybox installer). I used the uninstall option from the busybox installer app to remove it from /system/bin again and leave just one installation to avoid conflicts. This was not a good idea it seems. After uninstalling and rebooting, the phone started to work incorrectly, wifi doesn't work.. and most importantly, USB connection is dead with Android fully booted. the battery charges but the PC doesn't detect it. (It works on Recovery mode though).
I have an idea of what may be wrong. I think the "BusyBox installer" changed all the symlinks to system/bin/busybox, so when it was uninstalled, the phone was left without any of the applets of busybox even though the file /system/xbin/busybox is still present.
Or maybe I'm not really rooted anymore? However, the su binary is still present in /system/xbin/su but I still can't get to work commands like "mount".
How can I fix this problem? I will greatly appreciate any suggestions.
I think it might be fixed by installing busybox to /system/bin or even just copying the /system/xbin/busybox file to /system/xbin/busybox but because the phone is not working correctly I haven't been able to do that...
Here's the information I've gathered so far for you guys to PLEASE help me out with this:
SuperSU is installed and seems to works fine.
"BusyBox Free" installer app doesn't work. If I open it, it shows only black with the three buttons in the bottom but they can't be "clicked. It has been granted root permissions.
"ES File Explorer" gets root permissions but is unable to mount /system as writable (to copy the file).
In a terminal emulator application (Jack Palevich's), this is what I get:
Code:
$ which busybox
/system/xbin/busybox
$ ls
ls: not found
$ busybox ls
(works, outputs the directory content correctly)
$ mount -o remount,rw /system
mount: not found
$ busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
mount: permission denied (are you root?)
$ su
(the terminal emulator app has root permission, but when issuing "su" command, the cursor stays inactive for several minutes and when it finally responds, the following operations are still not succesful. The "su" doesn't seem to work.
$ busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
mount: permission denied (are you root?)
$ /system/bin/busybox --install -s /system/bin
busybox: /system/bin/zcat: Read-only file system
busybox: /system/bin/mountpoint: Read-only file system
busybox: /system/bin/nohup: Read-only file system
My plan is to make the USB work so I can use the toolkit again to restore a stock firmware and clean this mess. Oh, I have stock recovery and stock boot image if that's of any help to know it.
How can I issue the commands I need? or fix this problem?
I have basic linux experience so if you need the output of any command please let me know.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
... i think that flashing cwm recovery(.tar.md5) with odin and flashing a root+busybox.zip with cwm recovery should be the fastes way to fix this .... only thing is that it erease your "costum binary count" but with the "Triangel Away" app you can reset that counter ...
Thank you for the hint, enox. I'm will try to install the custom recovery now.
Thanks again enox for pointing me in the right direction. The phone is working again. I'm sharing what I did in case it helps someone in the future:
1) Installed the custom recovery 'twrp', provided by the toolkit (program_folder/recovery/recovery-twrp-2.4.3.0-GTI8190.tar) using odin with the phone in download mode.
2) Flashed this busybox uninstaller using twrp recovery. The phone wasn't working fine yet, so I continued to the following step.
3) Flashed a root+busybox.zip provided by the toolkit (program_folder/root/SuperSU-1.25-Busybox-RenameRecoveryRestore.zip) using twrp recovery.
At this point, the phone was working fine but to be sure that all symlinks were correct, I ran an additional cleaning script which you can find at the end of this post, along with my comments talking to myself while I was troubleshooting the problem.
I'll go to sleep now. Thank you.
Got a PM and I thought it would be better if I reply to it in the forum so others can benefit as well:

[Q] How to install ViPER4Android FX drivers?

When I install drivers for ViPER4Android FX I get "Driver installed, please reboot your device." and when I reboot, I'm asked to install drivers again. Did anyone figure out how to successfully install these drivers? I saw fixed around the forum, but they don't seem to work for me.

Doesn't it require root permission?
My phone is rooted, I wouldn't be able to install them if it wasn't. The problem is that after required reboot, it's asking me to install divers again.

Try this way...
http://www44.zippyshare.com/v/29045158/file.html (audio_effects.conf)
http://www68.zippyshare.com/v/82038954/file.html (libv4a_fx_ics.so)
1.audio_effects.conf - copy to system/etc (rw-r-r)
2.libv4a_fx_ics.so - copy to system/lib/soundfx (rw-r-r)
3.Instal V4A.apk
4.Reboot
Unfortunately, that didn't work.
Here are instructions for installing VIPER4Android on P7
1) have your phone ROOTED
2) install BUSYBOX from PLAYSTORE
3) install terminal emulator from PLAYSTORE
4)open Terminal Emulator and type in the following commands exactly:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cd system
lsattr
chattr -R -i *
rm –f /system/set_immutable.list
lsattr
After this set_immutable.list should be removed and you should have full access. Now you can install VIPER4Android
Work on my P7-L10

Two things to check
1)Are you rooted?
1b) Just because you rooted doesn't mean you actually are rooted
2)Does xposed have root permission?

I checked with Root Checker and it's working also fine on other app that requires a root.
about giving the permission what do you mean ? through SuperSU ?
yes I grant xposed when it asked me so what els ?
I think it's a problem in the z3 because it's a dual sim not like other phones !!!

Try installing it via recovery, it has a better chance of working IF you have a custom recovery as well.
I already solve my problem..
Just need re root from start until update to the last fw with pre root flashable and do install recovery once again...
And dont forget change to rw via terminal in your pc

just re root like usually you do and after that , update the FW to the lastest with pre root FW..
then when you finish..
in my experience my dual rec is gone so you cant do anything in recovery mode thats make you cant change system from ro to rw
to make recovery enabled again your phone after update..
do this
run your terminal in your pc inside giefroot folder then when the terminal already open
just copy command in below to your terminal pc..
just remember dont forget connect your phone to pc and make sure your debug is activate
adb push systemrw.sh /data/local/tmp
adb push modulecrcpatch /data/local/tmp
adb push wp_mod.ko /data/local/tmp
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/systemrw.sh
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/modulecrcpatch
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/wp_mod.ko
su
cd /data/local/tmp
./systemrw.sh
but about how to use giefroot you can look to this thread
