How to install Java Apps and Games in Samsung Star - New Simple Method

                               
Problems with existing methods:

Using TKFileExplorer 
  • It doesn't work for many (including me).
  • COM port not available in TKFileExplorer Settings.
  • Lot of other issues.
Using LITE FTP
  • Annoying Advertisment every 10 Seconds.
  • Cannot work continuosly, it forces you to visit a link.
New Method Using Minicommander (FREE and NO ANNOYING ADS)

Steps in Mobile Browser:
  • Open http://m.getjar.com from your mobile browser.
  • Search for Minicommander in the search box. (If not found try 'Mini Commander' instead of 'Minicommander', or simply go to www.getjar.com/ from ur pc and search for mini commander, get the quick download code and then download it using ur mobile)
  • Click Minicommander in the search result.
  • Now click Download Minicommander, It will be automatically installed in your Phone.
Steps in PC:
  • Download the necessary game or application to your PC.
  • Let us consider you have downloaded Mario.jar.
  • Create a folder called 'Mario' (Consider G:\JavaGames\Mario)
  • Copy the Mario.jar file to the G:\JavaGames\Mario.
  • Download and install JADMaker in your system.(Note : JADMaker needs .NET Framework 2.0 or above, you can download it from microsoft website)
  • Run JadMaker from the Start Menu.
  • Open the folder G:\JavaGames\Mario
  • Drag the Mario.jar to the JadMaker window.
  • New .jad file called Mario.jad will be created in the folder.
  • So your folder G:\JavaGames\Mario will have Mario.jar and Mario.jad.

Connect your mobile to PC:

  • Now connect your phone to PC using your USB cable.
  • You can either choose PC studio option or you can choose Mass Storage option. (These options will be provied only if you have selected the option Menu -> Settings -> Phone Settings -> PC Connections -> Ask on Connection)
  • Copy the folder G:\JavaGames\Mario to your menory card. For example consider you have copied the 'Mario' folder to a folder called 'Applications' in memory card.
  • Now disconnect your phone from PC.

Steps in your Mobile :

  • In your phone goto Menu -> Application ->Games & more -> Minicommander
  • It will ask 'Minicommander may access read user data continue?'
  • Give 'Allow, ask once'.
  • Minicommander's UI will be like this.
  • Open /filesystem/ in the left hand side.
  • Open /Mnc/Applications/ in right hand side
  • select Mario folder in right hand side.
  • Press '5' in the number pad at the bottom of the screen.
  • This will copy Mario to /filesystem/
  • Exit Minicommander.

Final  steps to update Mobile Java DB:
  • Now open up your key pad and enter *#6984125*#.
  • This brings up Admin Settings.
  • Choose INTERNALS and enter the master key *#9072641*# and confirm.
  • This brings up Internals screen.
  • Now scroll down and choose Storage Settings.
  • First press Update Java DB
  • Then Update App database
  • Then Update Media database.
  • Finally Create AX Dat File.
  • Exit the settings by pressing the Call Cancel key.
Thats it.

  • Go to Menu -> Applications -> Games & More.
  • You can see your newly installed Mario Game.
  • It will be named as something like 'Minicommander/mnc/Mario', just rename it to 'Mario'....

Cool...... Similarly you can install any number of Applications and Games....
Hope this helps you....

Please comment if it works for you.... :-)

Update : For some people the below code seems working. Try this, if my code is not working

1) To Enter Admin setting menu use *#5239870*#
2) To Enter the Internal menu Master key use *#7092463*#


Thanks to the unknown person.
