Installing non-VM apps on Rumor Touch

**atraum** · 09-21-2010, 11:04 AM

Anyone find any J2ME apps for calendars other than Gcal? I have tried Gcal and although it works OK I'm really looking for something that has full month, week and agenda views that syncs with Google. Not sure if these types of apps are in demand anymore on J2ME but it will help me "curb" my desire to buy an Intercept as soon as it hits the shelves.

Yeah, GCAL is kind of a turd. I find the best results with bookmarking "www.google.com/calendar/m" in a browser (such as opera mini). Assuming you are already logged-in, this gives you an agenda view with the ability to view existing events and use the quick-add feature for new events. Not very robust, but manageable for now. Hopefully a better google calendar app will be discovered.

OHH I like that. Thanks!!

A jar file is a packaged Java application and so is rather like a collection of folders and files all zipped up. JADmaker will extract all of the files from the jar file, use info from those files to create the jad file, and then cleanup all the extracted folders. However, if it fails to extract all of the files from the jar, it gives up and doesn't bother to cleanup.

The reason that the extraction fails is likely because one of the folders has a file called "a.class" and a file called "A.class". Since Windows filenames are case insensitive, these two files are considered the same file. This confuses whatever extraction tool JADmaker is using and so it fails.

It's actually a mistake on JADmaker's part to even try and extract all of the files, since all it should need from the jar to make the jad is the manifest file.

I just installed the Google Voice app... I went into settings and chose data instead of voice, and made a call and it worked, but it just called me from my google voice number and when I answered was ringing the person I was calling. I had heard this was how GV works but was my first time using it.

What I'm wondering is, did it make it using my data? It seems unlikely since I answered the call, that seems like it would use voice minutes. I hadn't checked my minutes prior to making the call, so I don't know to compare. I could call again and check, but was wondering, if it's still using voice minutes then why is the option even in settings?

Hmmm wonder if the data setting is just data?

In settings it says:

Call With:
-Data
-Voice

You can pick one of the two... this "call with" gives me the impression that it's referring to how the calls are made... either using data or voice minutes. It works just fine when I choose data, but I think it's still actually using my voice minutes because I'm having to answer an incoming call from my GV #...

I think the settings options may be misleading or something.

I'm confused... lol

If you log on to Virgin Mobile then go to My Account -> Account Activity, it should show all in and outbound calls that used minutes.

Thanks, I didn't know that.

So, now that the phone has been hacked, what can be done with it? For example, has someone found a way to turn on file transfers via Bluetooth. I try BlueFTP but it can't connect to my PC since it times out. I suspect there's a firewall.

It shows the calls from my GV #, I made 3 total, and each one is listed with the minutes, so it is still using voice minutes.

I don't understand why they even have this option in the settings... or if it's referring to something else it should be made more clear. "Call With" sounds like making calls to me.

I can make GV calls for free with my Gmail, so I know they offer some free calling that way, and when I saw those options it seemed awesome; guess it was too good to be true.

After I install apps / games can I delete anything from the memory card?
Don't like having to scroll to the very bottom to get to to new apps / games on the phone to install em.

Yes you can. I always delete them after it is installed.

Anyone know if there is a working police scanner out there? I know that the iPhone has one so I was just curious to see if there was a java version that worked on the Rumor Touch.
