How to make full-screen Java Games/Apps on LG Xenon

lg-phones — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 12:57:36 +0000

Hello all, I am back with another great tutorial about how to install Java games & application in LG Xenon with full screen without the on-screen virtual keypad. So have fun with this trick. LG-Xenon info

Here is step by step procedure for installing full screen games on LG Xenon.

Simply open the .jar file with WinZip or WinRAR, go to the META-INF folder, and open the MANIFEST.MF file. LG Phone Problem and Solution

At the bottom of the file, insert the following lines to make it full-screen in portrait view:
LGE-MIDlet-Width: 240
LGE-MIDlet-Height: 400

If you want the game/app in full-screen in landscape view, insert these lines:
LGE-MIDlet-Width: 400
LGE-MIDlet-Height: 240

If you extracted the MANIFEST.MF file, then drag it back into the .jar file, and into the META-INF folder.

If you can’t get the game/app to run from your memory card, upload the .jar file to a website, and download it from there from your phone; as most games/apps don’t work directly from the memory card.

This has not been posted anywhere on the internet, after extensive searching, so I thought I’d post my findings here.

FOR THOSE WHO DON’T KNOW, THESE ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PORTRAIT AND LANDSCAPE:

LG Xenon Bypass Java security?

lg-phones — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 16:37:35 +0000

I have read the thread about bypassing the java restrictions on a LG TU720 (Shine) and LG Vu, and i was wondering if the same thing was possible on the ATT network with my LG Xenon? LG Phone Problem and Solution

The Java signing policies say that only AT&T-signed apps can access Internet without prompting. Third-party signed apps have session "one-shot" (prompt at first access), and third-party unsigned apps prompt on every access. LG-Xenon info

Anyone figure this out? Please let me know, thanks.

How to load applications via memory card on LG Xenon?

lg-phones — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 04:21:30 +0000

I just found the LG Xenon trick and copied it to my blog!! This thread is originally posted by bhiga which I found on LG Xenon forum. Thanks for bhiga! LG-Xenon info

Credit: bhiga

Source: http://www.youmobile.org/load-java-apps-from-memory-card/

It’s working on AT&T. Rogers may or may not allow you to load applications this way.

Note: "Context menu button" = the rectangle with horizontal lines through it, that appears on the upper-right hand corner of some screens.

Note2: .jad files with a MIDlet-Install-Notify line may use Internet. If you have pay-per-use data, you may want to try removing the MIDlet-Install-Notify line to avoid data usage – or just install the .jar and not the .jad LG Phone Problem and Solution

How to load applications via memory card on LG Xenon

1. Obtain the .jar file (and .jad file, if possible) for the application you want to load.
2. Open the .jad file (if you have one) and check the MIDlet-Jar-URL line. It should NOT have a http://web.site.address/folder/folder2/etc at the beginning. If it does, remove everything except the .jar file name.
For example (this is for Google Maps), change
MIDlet-Jar-URL: http://m.google.com/maps/download/binaries/L1/2.3.2/maps_m2.jar
to
MIDlet-Jar-URL: maps_m2.jar
2. Copy the .jar (and .jad if you have it) file to the memory card via your PC (use a MicroSD card reader, or if you have a USB cable, connect the phone to the PC in Mass Storage mode).
3. From the Home screen, tap the Application button (box with 4 dots).
4. Tap the Folder tab.
5. Tap More.
6. Tap Other Files.
A list of files will appear here. This seems to be a list of all the files the phone doesn’t "know" about.
NOTE: You will likely see .jad and .jar files here with numbered names, like 020.jad and 020.jar, etc. DO NOT DELETE these! These are the applications that you have copied to your memory card. If you delete these, the associated application won’t work anymore and you will need to reload it.
7. Tap the .jad or .jar file you want to install. Once you go through the confirmation screens, it will be installed TO YOUR PHONE. NOTE: You may need to copy/move the .jad and .jar files to phone memory first.
8. If you want, go to Games or Applications and tap the Context menu button and tap Copy to or Move to if you want to move or copy the application to the memory card. Yes, I KNOW it is ALREADY on the memory card, but if you don’t do it this way, it’s not somewhere the phone knows how to access it.
9. To clean up the files you used to install the app, go back to Other Files, then tap the Context menu button, tap Delete, then choose the file(s) to delete.

Hope that helps folks!

LG Xenon problems with youtube?

lg-phones — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 13:05:28 +0000

My friend told me that he want to watch a youtube video on his LG Xenon phone, but the video would go gray and make some strange noises than it would freeze up. He tried taking out the battery and putting it back in but it would do the same thing when he try to view a video on youtube. LG-Xenon info

I got youtube to play on my LG Xenon. It’s a fix i read somewhere earlier.

I’m using opera. Make sure you have a youtube account created and you are logged in (if you are already logged into google then you should automatically be logged into youtube). LG Phone Problem and Solution

What you need to do is look on the bottom of of youtube mobile’s site and click the help button. then scroll down the page and there is a section about optimization. Click optimise. Then lie on all the questions. (example: if you see an image lie and say no you don’t see it)

LG Xenon Phone Photos – LG Cell Phone Pictures

On question 4 there is a button that says click here. Click that button. The next few questions lie and say you do see the videos.

Once you have finished optimising click on a video and hopefully you are lucky like me and it plays.

You can also go back to the optimization page and reset the settings if you screw up. I had to do this as I screwed up my first try. Hope it helps you, enjoy!

AT&T LG Xenon

lg-phones — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 12:51:55 +0000

I got the AT&T LG Xenon phone about 3 months ago. This phone is absolutely awesome, it’s very easy to use and so durable. I love it. The touch screen is great you can adjust the size of the words and buttons but not responsive, you have to put a little pressure on it unlike the iPhone, and it is occasionally slow or freezes but it is not for more than a second. LG Cell phone Reviews

I am personally a huge texter, it’s my life and this phone is great for texting. The AT&T LG Xenon’s keyboard is actually a perfect size and a very well designed keyboard. Texting is great, it is easy to get used to, and the texts show up all together like an instant message. The camera has great quality, it does have a flash, I feel like I’m using a digital camera, it fits right in with my Photography life style. The voice recorder and the video recorder is real good and the speaker has great sound. The AT&T LG Xenon’s battery isn’t the best but its pretty good, it just needs to be charged like every 2 days. Tip: Since I don’t use the internet, I turn off 3G (set to 2G) to make the battery charge last longer. Calls and texting are not affected. LG-Xenon info

Only one problem I have was transferring contacts from the SIM card to phone memory. The phone numbers didn’t show up in phone memory. This was fixed by taking out the battery and re-inserting. You only need to do this one time (after transferring contacts).
