Resizing Java Apps/Games Display Resolution

This is something I've learned about 4 years ago, when I was really dissapointed on some java apps/games that could run on my phone, but the resolution is totally out, sometimes smaller, sometimes bigger. You just need Winzip/Winrar in your PC to do this.

THIS TUTORIAL APPLIES ON ALL NOKIA PHONES, THERE"S NO GUARANTEE ON OTHER DEVICES, BUT YOU CAN TRY.

1. Put the installer file in you PC anywhere, for example the installer file's name is 'zed_grease_en_Nokia_E65_v1_2_4_N73.jar'. Right-click on the file, select 'Open with'. Choose Winrar/Winzip to open the file.
2. This is what you'll see. Double-click on the 'META-INF' folder.


3. Double-click on the 'MANIFEST.MF' file. Open it with 'Wordpad'.


4. Go to the bottom line of the whole text and paste these;

Nokia-MIDlet-Original-Display-Size: xxx,xxx
Nokia-MIDlet-Target-Display-Size: xxx,xxx



5. Change the 'xxx,xxx' to your desired resolution. For the 'Nokia-MIDlet-Original-Display-Size', type in the original game's resolution for example if the game's resolution is 176x208, type in 176,208 replacing the xxx,xxx. And for the 'Nokia-MIDlet-Target-Display-Size', type in your mobile's resolution for example if it's 360x640, type in 360,640 replacing the xxx,xxx.

6. After you're done, save the whole thing and exit wordpad.


7. This dialog will appear in front of Winrar/Winzip windows. Click 'Yes'.


8. Exit Winrar/Winzip and install that new installer you've just modified into your mobile. If you find the resolution is still out, please recheck the original and your device's resolution, you can always google it. You can also try to play with the resolution's value untill you got it right. Believe me, you'll begin to understand more on how java apps/games operates on mobile phone. Back in the days, I've learned about mobile phones the hard way, there's no one to help me :(. Hahahaha! Ok you can always mail me @ comablack.87@hotmail.com, for any enquiries. More tutorials coming soon! Good luck with this one!

Up to 12 large interactive maps in 4 settings: Beach, snow, platform and lava. (personally, this is my favourite!!)



Gameloft's Uno
- Uno is quite a popular game and I'm sure you have played it at least once. It's now time to take it to the next level as Gameloft has conveniently designed a mobile version of it. The mobile game is fast and it should be just as fun. Too bad you're playing mostly against a computer and not your real friends.

SPECIAL EDITION!!!
The Big Roll In Paradise
(21.16 MB)



Big Roll in Paradise is all about the game of bocce. But let me assure you, you’ve never seen bocce quite like this before. In this game, you are a guest at “Paradise Island” in the Bahamas (no relation to the real one, I suspect), and you will encounter a wide range of other guests and employees on the island who are all skilled at the ball-hurling game.
At the same time, there is something of a mystery within the game, too – after all, you are in a place called Paradise in the Bahamas. Several of the guests will allude to the hidden treasure that may be found somewhere on the island!
The Big Roll is seriously a lot of fun. And even if you can’t take a vacation to an island getaway this summer, you can immerse yourself in this game, and pretend you’re there.

Polarbit Iron Sight
-UNSIGNED-
(15.02MB)



Iron Sight offers a unique blend of action, strategy and simulation. The basic premise is deceivingly simple: destroy the enemy before he has a chance to destroy you! Attack with a large and varied range of weapons and power-ups: homing missiles, artillery, satellite support, cluster missiles and much more.
Iron Sight features an advanced AI – enemies respond to the current situation, value possible threats and weather conditions to select the appropriate weapon and utilize available terrain for cover. Beginners need not worry, however, as the game offers suitable difficulty settings for both newbies and battle-hardened veterans.
The campaigns take you through many different environments, from war-torn wastelands and frozen wastes to green grassland, all littered with the remains of a shattered civilization. Two separate single-player campaigns and multiplayer over Internet or hot-seat ensures hour-upon-hour of gameplay.
( This app is unsigned, see my tutorial on signing unsigned apps/games )

Because no matter how much fun outrunning the AI might be, nothing beats letting human opposition suck your wake as you leave them behind in a cloud of vapor and humiliation.
Besides gut-wrenching gameplay, WaveBlazer features spectacular visual effects, unlike anything previously seen on a mobile device. Boats throw up a cascade of sparkling water as they slice through rippling waves reflecting majestic buildings and scenic surroundings. Tracks run through some truly inspiring and immersive environments; ranging from lush, green grasslands and inviting, ivory beaches to freezing wastes and murky grottos.
