How to install softwares in Samsung Star

Samsung came up with three new touch screen phones, Samsung Star, Samsung Star 3g, Samsung Corby. Great phones and great price. But unfortunately these are not smartphones, so you cannot install softwares and change your normal phone to something extraordinary.

But the phones support J2ME apps, so you can install jars and still get a feel of apps. Download new java apps from http://www.getjar.com. But there is another problem, just putting the jar file in the memory card doesnot solve the purpose. There is no way to install these jars. I will teach you a way to install these apps to you Samsung phones.



Ok, lets start. We will require 3 things

• TKFileExplorer
• Jar creator (optional, required only if your Java file ".jar" does not have a .jad file.Download here)
• Java App/Game you want to install. :)
  

Step 1: Download and install TKFileExplorer from here Also if you haven't installed PC STUDIO or the USB driver, now will be a good time to do that.

Step 2: Open  TKFileExplorer and go to Settings then choose COM. On Port,
click the drop down menu and choose the only port that is visible (something like port 5/port 6). In my case it was port 8. (IF COM PORT IS NOT PRESENT, TYPE IN MANUALLY.START FROM COM1,COM2.. so on)

NOTE* You must NOT be connected in PC Studio program. 

Now click on FILE and CONNECT or in the icon as shown below.

Step 3: On the bottom Left of TKFileExplorer, browse through these folders Exe -> Java -> Games.
Now that you are in Games, Create a folder on your machine with the name of the game & paste the .jar & .jad file in that folder.Now go back to TKFileExplorer & browse for that location where you have made the folder right click & Select Download.

Thats it you done for the TKFileExplorer part. Discconect your phone by clicking the icon or by File -> Disconnect.

Now 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 -> Games & More. Your newly installed App should be visible!
