Samsung Behold: How To Install Java Games And Apps Like Google Maps, Gmail And Opera

The following steps will make installing latest Java games and apps fast and simple for your Samsung phone
- Download and install TKFileExplorer 2.2 on your PC from this link
- In the same .rar file, open SAMSUNG_Composite_USB_Driver_4_34_WHQL.zip and choose the Setup.exe file. This will install the necessary Samsung Driver to use TKFileExplorer.
- Open TKFileExplorer and go to Settings then choose COM. On port, click the drop down menu and choose the port that is visible (something like port 5/port 6). NOTE* you must NOT be connected in pc studio program. Now click on FILE and CONNECT.
- On the bottom half of TKFileExplorer, browse through these folders Exe/Java/Games. Now that you are in games, create a new folder. Name it after what you are going to install (for example, Google Maps, Gmail, Opera Mini etc). Now you will need to place the .jar & .jad files of the program you will be installing. On the top half of TKFileExplorer, browse through to where you saved the application files (.jar/.jad) and select them both. Now right click and choose ‘Download’.
- Open up your dial pad and enter the following, *#6984125*#. Choose INTERNALS and enter the following, *#9072641*#. Now scroll down and choose Storage Settings. Then update Java DB, followed by update apps database. Now you are finished. Go to Menu>Applications/Apps & Games. Your newly installed app should be visible.
Note: Make sure you are updating the java database within internal -> storage settings. If the phone doesn’t connect to TK, then restart the phone. Once it boots up, hit the end call button when the Connection Preference (USB or PC Studio) prompt shows on the phone. Select the port within TK and hit connect. All the folders within the Behold will showup on the bottom part of TK. Now simply drag the folder/file from the top portion (the C:/ drive) and drop it into the Games folder on the bottom bar. It should transfer quickly. Only transfer one or two folders at a time, then exit TK, and repeat the process so a transfer error doesn’t show up. For games, include the .jar and .jad files in the folder.
hi i have a samsung behold and i did all instruction above and the applications still did not show in the games and apps folder on my phone. what should i do?
Hi,
I dont see any Setting -> port options. If i manually enter Com1 or Com2 then it says “Error : Communication was lost”.Please help me on this.
Hi,
instead folder Exe/Java/Games, you have to use
User/Mass/Java/Games
To Venka:
Your’s driver isn’t working correctly.
Reinstall it, or try another.
(for me was this suitable:
http://rapidshare.com/files/297326273/SamsungJet_USB__Driver.rar.html
)
When the newest PC studio is working correctly, then drivers are OK.
(COM1 and COM2 are common serial ports, phone NEVER connects thru these ports.)
i use both option
1) Exe/Java/Games
2)User/Mass/Java/Games
but i icant install games or any other software in my samsunh jet S0003 Please help for install games and app.
Hello, i am using the samsung jet. I can’t go on the step for dialing *#6984125*# and *#9072641*#. It gives no response for this. Can you solve out the problem?

Hi,

The only way I can get the TKFileExplorer to work is to choose pc studio when I first connect it. I do have the Samsung Pc installed on my computer, but I always make sure the program is closed before I open TK.

Procedure for samsung corby pro(not for non-technical persons)-
You will need –
1. Wireless Router, connect your PC and your mobile to it.
2. Games (jar files) on your PC. You can download games from any torrent site – btjunkie.org. After downloading, you will get “jar” file, generate a “jad” file using jadmaker.
3. A web server(apache) on your PC, download and install from http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html
Further steps
1. Start the web server
2. Create a “games” directory in your “htdocs” folder and put jar and jad files there.
3. Figure out your ip address using “ipconfig” on command line. Write a html e.g name – “game.html” in “htdocs” folder having contents like –
abc
<form action="http:///games/Tom_And_Jerry_-_Food_Fight.jad” method=”get”>
Tom and Jerry
4. Add these lines your httpd.conf file after the existing ‘AddType’ sentences-
AddType text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor .jad
AddType application/java-archive .jar
5. Restart your web(xampp) server.
6. From your corby pro internet browser type in “http:///game.html
7. Click on the “Download” button, and thats it!
For non-technical persons, if you know a web programmer refer this steps to him/her, he/she can set it up for you.
Due to this page not allowing html content directly, pasting again for your reference –
Content for “game.html” as mentioned in above step 3.
‘ form action=”http://your ip address/Tom_And_Jerry_-_Food_Fight.jad” method=”get”
input type=”submit” value=”Download” ?=”" ‘
~
~
~
~
~
~
1. Create a new text document(on desktop right click > new > text document)
2. In that paste this.
#Write ur application/software/game name in the space provided.
for example

#Here operamini.jar is name of the application/software/game that is going to get installed.
#Remember that the name of the application/software/games should be same with that u write here.
#If your .JAR file name is operamini.jar then in the space provided you should type operamini.jar
3. Now rename that file to abc.html and copy both the files (”abc.html” and the file you want to install) to a folder via Cable to the phone.
4. open abc.html in ur phone and the file you want to install is installed
#I THINK THIS IS THE SIMPLEST WAY TO INSTALL ANY application/software/game
i found this on some other site…hope this helps everyone…
Vaibhav has told the simplest way to install java application in Samsung Mobile Phones and it works. In fact this method in another view can be looked as installation via OTA wherein we click on a link in web page and the jar file will be downloaded from location in server.
Here in above case the jar file also is in same phone. Both the file has to in same location.
Another thing I noticed is that in Samsung Corby Pro I just dragged and placed the JAR file at a location. And simply click it to install. The installed file will be in games folder.
Ya agreed thanks Vaibhav
hii i m useing samsung corby plus. so plz tell me how can i install more games????????
Thanks a ton Vaibhav. Your method works. Can anyone tell me how to get stupid “Samsung Kies” working? It keeps on giving me a “Error objectID not set to instance of object” or words like that and doesnt execute. Otherwise Im loving this phone.

I got this thing to work but sometimes I get game happy and an error shows up. When i delete them it messes up the other games that I downloaded successfully. When I try to delete them from the TkfileExplorer, it won’t let me. How do I delete them.
there is no port visible in the drop down menu of port.If i manually enter Com1 or Com2 then it says “Error : Communication was lost”.Please help me on this.
i try this solution.. and it works for some JAVA games or app.
> convert to .jad
> I can’t create folder at internal file so i do create folder at external (sd card) called Games
> then copy the .jad and .jar files to games folder
> at phone, i install the .jad and it work at Samsung Corby
thanks…

Hi,

CAN ANY ONE TELL ME A WAY TO UNINSTALL THEM. I TRIED TO FORMAT MY PHONE, BUT NO HELP. JUST TELL ME HOW TO DELETE APPLICATIONS FROM GAMES FOLDER & INSTALL NEW ONES
java games are cool because they need very little resources and the graphics are good too.
These same Codes work for the Gravity 3, but so far I’ve been unable to get any additional apps or games installed on the grav3.
And, I haven’t been able to get the TKFileExplorer to show a COM port.
Anyone out there had any luck with the Gravity 3? Any suggestions on how to add some of the 1000 Java games I have to my Gravity 3???
Thanks so much,
Flash
none on these things work! can’t somebody make a noob friendly solution
OK I have to say I’m getting a little peeved. I have tried numerous methods, two from this site and everything is a no-go. My phone (Samsung Corby Plus) does not reconize Jad files or jar files (I have changed my phone to read bigger Jar files). I have put both Jad file and Jar file into a folder created through New samsung Pc Studio called Games. I did it for the SD Card and on the phone itself. Both ways when I open the folder on the phone it shows that both files Jad and Jar are unsupported. Why is this and how can I fix it? I can’t believe with all the tech heads out there that I can’t sinf a simple method (clear step by step) that actually works. Please please please help would be appreciated.
i use corby plus and am able to install games in phone memory….(use jad maker to create a .jad file then install game using the jad file….both the jad and jar file must be in same folder)..BUT HOW TO INSTALL GAMES IN MEMORY CARD……the internal mem. is only 4 mb for games…………. EXPERTS PLZ HELP US CORBY PLUS USERS
Other Codes:
Master Code access *#5239870*#. Choose INTERNALS and enter the following, *#7092463*#
Are those codes supposed to work on the Samsung Corby Plus? Cause I tried them and no dice. Rohan J can you tell me how you got your games to work please.
So people realize that the Samsung Corby Pro and Samsung Corby Plus are two different versions of the phone right? What works for one may not work for the other, such as the Master Codes.
I have a “SMS Memory Full” problem with my Corby.
As I know it’s sms memory is up to 500sms, but even when I have only 200 sms it tells me that the sms memory is full!
Please what can I do? Any help may be useful.
Thanks
INSTALLING GAMES IN SMASUNG CORBY PLUS GT-BT3410 1.FIRST GO TO GAMES AND MORE AND MAKE SURE U GOT SOME FREE MEMORY……(GO TO OPTIONS AND MEMORY STATUS). 2. THEN IF U HAVE NET GO TO ANY SITE WHICH PROVIDES FREE APP DOWNLOAD …I RECOMMEND GETJAR.COM AND WAP.IN ……..DOWNLOAD…IT WILL INSTALL EASILY. 3.IF U DON’T HAVE NET MAKE A JAD FILE FOR EACH JAR FILE U HAVE ON YOUR COMPUTE USING JADMAKER SOFTWARE ….(GOO
http://areacellphone.com/2009/10/samsung-behold-howto-java-apps/
CONTD. …..GOOGLE IT ..ITS A FREEWARE PUT BOTH .JAD AND .JAR IN ANY FOLDER IN MEM. CARD OR PHONE MEMORY …INSTALL USING .JAD FILE …………………………………IT IS A 100 % WORKING SOLN. …..I AM GOING TO PLAY WIMBLENDON TOUCHSCREEN ON MY CORBY +….
Rohan J thanks man but it doesn’t work for me. Here is what Ièm doing. I have both the Jad and Jar file. I put both into a folder on the phone and on the memory card I called it games. When I go to said folder on either the phone memory or the memory card either way it tells me that both the Jad and Jar files “Not supported Content”. I even tried the method up top about making a text document and renameing it ABC.html. Even that is not supported content. I just don’t understand why it’s working for everyone else.
hey c …do u hav gprs / net connection …..then go to http://www.wap.in and download any game ..it installs easily OTA (over the air) . ” not supported content” ..to a jad file ..:0 i dont understand….then here is what i think u should try ….get any .jar file on ur mobile ..size must be less than 480 kb ……..and copy it to phone mem. then open the jar file …my samsung corby plus doesn’t requir jad for jar less than 500 k
http://areacellphone.com/2009/10/samsung-behold-howto-java-apps/
Thanks again Rohan for trying but I give up, nothing’s working for me. I don’t have free internet on my phone. I had changed the settings on my phone to accept larger then 500kb Jar files. It doesn’t matter if I put them (Jad or Jar or both) right unto the phone memory or the memory card, when I go to click on them it says not supported content.
hi, i followed the steps and have the app working and i can move files. the issue i think is with the site i downloaded from – getjar.com. they know my phone type and show apps supported for it but when I click download they only give the .jar file no .jad file. are they doing something wrong or am I? samsung behold
So C did you get anybody to explain to you how to get games installed on the Corby Plus? Cause I’m in the same situation you are. My Corby Plus says Jad and Jar and HTML files are all not supported content. Anyboby got a way around this?
hi
wat if there is no port to choose from
plz help
playing Java games has been my past time these days
Hi I have a LG Rumor touch and I was on getjar.com trying to download apps but it wont let me it keeps saying “Fatal error” and numbers. Can you please help?
There is no PC suite available fo the Samsung Intercept (android) and I cannot jus drag and drop into thr phone. What do you suggest and j2me runner does not work either. I need professional help and I am not a computer wiz.
Why do I get a message saying ‘unsupported file type’ when I have transferred over a jad/jar or try and run it? in samsung corby pro
evry 1 that have samsung corby plus gt b 3410 that want to install games and app
just do what i say
1 downloud the games or software that u want jar type
2 then downloud the jadmaker its a software
3 then convert the jar to jad and put both of them to ur corby plus and run them
jave games are very convenient to use coz they have very small file sizes
hey, when I click the drop down menu on port I can’t find any port visible.
“On port, click the drop down menu and choose the port that is visible (something like port 5/port 6)”
Here the program’s drop down menu is empty and no port is visible although my phone is connected via USB
java games are great because their file size is small and the graphics is great too
