Update to MIDLET Manager? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Hi
I've experienced lots of problems with the Wizard's midlet manager, especially when trying to use Opera Mini.
It sees I've got a working connection, but when loading any web page I get an error message - critical error kind of thing.
I hard reset my Vario several times hoping it would solve the problem... in vain.
has any update to the Midlet Manager been released? And where to get it from? I checked the TAO site, but no downloads are available from their site (they seem to ship direct to HTC and the likes).
Alternatively, what is the work around? I want to use the Midlet for Google maps and other midlets. Thanks

Download the attached zip file but DO NOT unzip it. Overwrite the one in \Windows on your PDA. Once your done, start up Midlet Manager then Menu -> About and confirm the following version numbers...
Runtime MIDP 2.0: v10.1.7.551 (Build 20060317)
That's the version I'm running and it works just fine with Google Local Maps and Opera Mini.
If after performing the above you still can't get Opera Mini working properly then I'd suggest uninstalling Opera Mini (tap and hold the icon and select uninstall) and then visit http://mini.opera.com in Pocket Internet Explorer and download Opera Mini again. If that page says something about recognising your device as an iPaq of some kind then just ignore it.

You may just want to scrap tao's manager and go for IBM's http://www.winmobiletech.com/sekalaiset/IBMJ9MIDP.zip
I haven't used it, but some people like it. It displays satelite images in google local too.

Keitaro: Where did you get that update from?

The zip file came straight from a fresh install of a 2.24 ROM

I've now tried the first solution (the update to Tao's MIDLET) and the midlet manager freezes then crashes as a result!
No good...
Any idea why it does that, and any other work around to the problem?
Cheers

Ok perform this step as well, download this file...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=12426
...and overwrite the ones found in...
\Application Data\Tao\intent
and
\Windows

I've just done that, but in vain. the Midlet Manager still freezed then crashes. I can't even uninstall my old version of Opera mini and / or install the new one. The Midlet Manager crashes before I can do anything...
Any suggestion?
Maybe I should go back to the original Manager?

Navigate to...
\Application Data\Tao\intent\app\jam\midlets
...and delete the operamini folder and see what happens then.
If Midlet Manager still locks up then by all means replace rofs_target.zip and target.img.zip back with the versions you had originally... assuming you did back them up first
Just out of interest, what ROM version are you running and what Midlet Manager version did you have prior to all this messing around?

Thanks Keitaro.
My ROM is T-Mobile's UK ROM 1.6.2.4 - I am waiting for T-Mobile to release the new ROM.
Maybe that's why the updated Midlet manager does not work.
I did not backup the target.img.zip file unfortunately.
Could anybody on the T-Mobile's 1.6.2.4 ROM upload their Windows/target.img.zip file here please?
I could then downgrade my Midlet Manager.
thanks

You can always install the IBM Manager.
It's not as pretty, but it works.

gamescan - just done it, and it works great.
Thanks

opera mini
i screw up my midlet by deleting the target.img. i want to have a fresh installation of opera mini. How will i uninstall the previous mini in my xda?

Thanks Talents, you've saved everyone alot of time there

It adds a disconnect option to the GPRS popup. Only realised it was an Orange thing when i put the 1.12 rom on my M500 and saw it had gone.
some of the files you've attached say tmobile on them.. does that brand the phone? will i have t-mobile popping up on every app i open. I bought my jam from dubai and using it on cingular.. i'm also on the WWE rom, just wondering if these .cab's are compatible.
The cab files are compatible with all HTC Magician machines (i.e. i-mate JAM, O2 XDA mini, Qtek s100, T-Mobile Compact, Dopod 818, etc.) and will not pop up any brand or logo after installation.
thanks for that info, i will do these updates in about an hour. thanks again
Are these cab-files ripped of the default install on the windows-dir?
Fonix voicedial is eating a lot of memory of the ppc. The normal installation (downloadable at fonix) can install on the sd card, but the extended rom versions i have seen only install totally on phone memory

Use CAB-Installer. With that, you can choose where to install.

Many thanks for your efforts. Very informative.

Thanks for the effort mate, I shall have a play with those.
Will ask one more time: I am on holiday so my only internet-connection right now is with my Magician and GPRS. Pocket IE will not handle attachments on the forum (downloads the php-file). Could they be downloaded in any other way or could someone upload the cab-files to the ftp? Please..
EDIT: Of course I found the files on the ftp and succesfully downloaded them with resco. Sorry, should have looked better. Even so it is quite irritating that attachment downloading is not working with Pocket IE

I tried that.. but if the path is an hardcoded default in de cab, cab-installer uses that default
Also, i do not see the programs of the extended rom (when i install them myself) in my 'remove programs'-list.

In fact, downloading works in PIE. Just download the file (it'll show as download.php, correct) and then rename it to whatever it should be with the extension that it's supposed to have. Alternatively, when trying to download via PIE, in a "Download" popup dialog tap "Change" and change the name of the file to what it is supposed to be. After your download is completed, use your file explorer to locate the file and change the extension of the file from .php to a correct one.

I just installed that poxy T Mobile UXC T-Mobile RC23 and it just hard reset my bloody Jam.

Aha! Thnx very much for that info mata!
But how does this work?! If I want to install for instance the Camera Wizard to update my camera, where do I have to install it? I asume it has to overwrite the original camera app, or can I really put it everywhere I want? And to make it clear... does this hard reset your device?!

T-Mobile MDA USA Midlet Manager

Hello everyone...
I tried to seach through all 271 pages of my search request about the T-Mobile midlet manager that is missing from T-Mobiles rom and I could not find a post that was similar.
I apologize in advance if this in any way a repost.
I was over on buzzdev.net and found a download (with free registration), and found a download intent Java MidleManager that, I believe, comes with the nonbranded T-Mobile MDA .. I just downloaded it and Im about to install it to see if it works. Here is the link if you want to check this out.
I hope that this helps those of you that are looking for the midlet manager

here ya go so you don't need to register.....or if you forget you login...
thanks..
When I try to download Google Local, File Explorer opens showing nothing. Any thoughts?
Do you have the midlet manager installed? If you do open it up and tap on Menu---Install---Browse then navigate to http://www.google.com/glm

Get Google Local (GLM) Satellite Images on Cingular 8125

EDIT 11/1/06 Satellite images don't work on the new version of IBM and GMM. However, using IBM version ibm-weme-wm50-arm-midp20_6.1.0.20060727-102926 and GMM 1.3.2 it works really well. Quick, no freezing like with the default midlet manager. The 20060727 version of the IBM manager adds the softkey buttons, so it's way better.
EDIT: 8/18/06, process works with IBM Software 6.1 and GMM version 1.3.0!
Been looking for a while and haven't seen a step by step, so here goes:
- Basically you need to install a second Midlet Manager onto you 8125. It's made by IBM and can be downloaded here.
http://www14.software.ibm.com/webap...04-06+13:40:42.143397R&S_TACT=104CBW71&S_CMP=
You'll have to sign up for an account. Then download this exe: CLDC 1.1/MIDP 2.0 for Windows Mobile 5.0/ARM
- Once you've installed the exe on your computer, browse to:
C:\Program Files\IBM\WEME\runtimes\61\wm50-arm-midp20\
There is a cab file there-> weme-wm50-arm-midp20_6.1.0.20060317-111429
- Extract the cab file and transfer its contents to your device. I suggest either: a) \Storage Card\Program Files\J9\MIDP20\ or b) \Program Files\J9\MIDP20\
- After copying the cab files contents to your device, run the "emulator" file in the bin folder.
- While it's running, use your web brower and navigate to www.google.com/glm. Pick Generic -> Advanced MIDP2. it should ask you where you want to save the ".jad" file. Save it to "My Device" NOT "My Documents" on your device. Name it something simple, like "glm".
- Go back to Midlet HQ and choose "install". Type in the file name like shown here http://www.winmobiletech.com/032006Midlets/J9InstallLocal.bmp.png
but replace "a" with glm if you named the file that.
- It will connect to the internet and install the Google GLM midlet. Tada!
To get sat images, you'll just have to run GLM through this new midlet manager, and not the one that comes with the device. no bigy. Enjoy.
thanks for the links... But could you clarify some things. What are you talking about replacing "a" replace what "a" where?
Also I get an error when I try to Save to My device from explorer. Don't know if that is normal or not. Could you explain this a little better?
Why do you need the second midlet manager? Java installs fine on my KJam
-Mc
For some reason, the default midlet manager of the wizard (8125) will not allow you to view the satellite images from GLM, hence this big ordeal.
hbkdinobot: Replace "a" with "x" just refers to renaming the file so it's easy to find it later. When you download the file it wants to name it something extremely large. I'm just suggesting you rename the file to something simple and easy to type in and remember.
I'm not sure why you're not able to save the file. keep trying!

Why not just use "Virtual Earth Mobile"? One install for SP and PPC and has Sat and Maps. http://www.viavirtualearth.com/vve/Gallery/VEMobile.ashx

The fact that it's neither very stable (had it lock up several times) nor as usable as GLM may have something to do with it. I tried VEM, hoping that it would be a good substitute on my Javaless T-Mobile USA MDA, but promptly uninstalled it after much frustration. Instead, I flashed the MDA with the new Imate ROM that has Java in it, and Google Local Mobile now runs on my MDA just fine. It may not display the satellite images with the Intent JVM, but it's perfectly stable and usability is much better.
I installed the VEM on juiceppc's recommendation, we'll see how it works out.
VEM seems to have very old image data compared to GLM...
try this http://www.mgmaps.com/
On my t-mobile MDA (with the 2.17 custom ROM) the IBM midlet manager doesn't seem to work with glm (asks me if permission to use airtime but then gives me a blank screen).
The midlet manager that comes with the custom ROM can run both glm and mgmaps, but neither show satellite imagery.
I'm having the same problem as Sorcerer and I am running the 2.17.7.2 WWE ROM..anyone know what the issue is?
Works perfectly on my 8125. Thanks Jizzay1!

When running the cab it gives me;
Failed to install aria htc x.cab
This is on Prophet (Qtek S200) Anyone else seen this error?
kind regards
marl
Edit, downloaded again, works fine now, thx for the cab
Any ideas if this is possible to be mapped to a hard button.....like the ok button on the 750v?
Thanks
I have tried three times on my TyTn but every time the cab file fails to install. I downloaded the zip file, renamed it and put in in my SD card. When installing I got the message Cound not install etc.
Any help available?
I'd suggest you to have a look to the device and try to find out if there is no left files from the former installation.
I've struggled time ago with such Resco things. Maybe it's the same issue.
It's only for Pocket PC PE, or it be useful for WM 5.0 Smartphone Edition?
I have a Qtek 8310. ¿Can I use this taskmanager?
Thanks

T-mobile ameo opera problem

Hi, has anyone had a problem with the opera/web and walk browser, coming up with a unsigned application error, on the tmobile rom, if so or if not can you send me the rom version you are using!! muchos appreciatos
Opera problem
Yes I have. Did you do a hard reset? I have seen this three times now after hard resetting my device. What I discovered was that half of the applications form the extended_rom were not installed including Opera. The shortcut is! This one is probably part of te rom.
To solve this install gsfinder or another explorer and go to \extended_rom\
Now open install all the cab files. Your problem is solved afterwards.
Gerald
why not upgrade to the new (beta) version of opera.
http://get.opera.com/pub/opera/winmobile/865b/
the msi worked for me. i did do a sprite back up first though incase
opps... just discovered that the beta expires july first. sorry ignore my previous post
Thats odd, my advantage already has v8.65 (obviously, not a beta either), what version does the Ameo have installed?

My Ameo has also v8.65 and no beta.
sorry
my stoooopid
my ameo has 8.65 (2211)- i just downloaded the beta with out checking first.
derrrrrrrr
i have a weird fault with opera on my ameo... it will launch fine the first time i load it. but then if i close and try and launch it again later i get the four colours spinning egg timer thin forever, only way to get it running again is soft reset..... anyone else got this
looked in running progs and killed everything there too..
possibily due to spb plus? or anyone got both running together fine
I also have a problem After two hard resets today, my opera vanishes from my device all together!
I'm not sure if it is the only missing software but is the only one i've noticed.
Any idea there I can get the cab to install it?
Imaginarynumber, you found only the beta? is it possible to get out of the provided cd?
