Hi,
I've been trying for quite a while to get a Java emulator working with android but couldn't. I use my phone mostly for chatting, the app I use is called MXit and you do get an android version but it sucks. Java is much faster, better and more reliable. I've tried several Jbed's and none worked. All force close nearly instantly. I want v5.9.8 specifically, the site is m.mxit.com or www.mxit.com.
System and Data is installed to nand and I'm using the Scoot CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RLS3 (Gingerbread 2.3.5) [07/08/11] build.
I've attached the jar that I'd like to run..
I've tried online converters, no luck.
If someone manages to find a way, I'll appreciate it LOADS.
Thanks,
Monk
Mxit at its best blows, but if you really do need to run mxit, try using an IM application that supports xamp/jabber as a protocol. Mxit uses the protocol and you can use that to chat on mxit instead

Hey,
Uhm, MXit v6 and up sucks at it's best. That's v6 for java, the entire style ain't very good, but the version I have there which is v5.9.8 is actually one of the most efficient mobile IM's that I've found. You can easily manage 7+ fast moving conversations at a time. Since I have a lot to do with chat zones, I need speed in switching places since I can be in 4 rooms at once and still be chatting with a couple of friends at once. The new MXit doesn't support tabs which slows texting down a LOT. And well, that's why I'm looking for a way to run it... Otherwise, I must face my fear and go back to the dreaded WM...
Any idea what IM's I might be able to use? I have Whatsapp and am able to get Ebuddy etc. but which one would be able to do it?
Edit:
I FINALLY got Jbed running.
Steps:
Download Jbed.zip
Download This
Read This
Do what is said, run cmd and enter these commands:
>cd c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
>adb.exe
>adb remount
>adb push (where-ever you had it eg. c:\Jbed\system\app\Jbed.apk) /system/app/Jbed.apk ---- and so on with every file and NOTE THE slashes, system dir must be forward.
>adb install (where-ever you have the apk)
And then it worked
Well, nearly. MXit installed, but can't connect to the network, so while its doing its first run, it says "Installing" and then drops out to another screen telling me about connection problems... Gonna try sort this out now.
P.S I will host these files on my own server if it's needed...
Regards,
Monk
I was wondering if you decided to stick to the java version. I installed the android version and it blows the java one out the water. Built in push notifications are just brilliant, you receive message notifications even when not logged in!

LoL, uuuhm, well, since this post I've been to 3 different WM6 roms, because well, I needed MXit and tabs and so on but now, I got fed up with WM again and have gone to Droid again, which is awesome. But yes, I'm now on MXit for Android because well, I'm not that active on MXit anymore. I have a feeling that soon I will be and then I'm gonna be looking for Java emulators again (and probably come read my own instructions here to get it to install ) and then maybe get fed up with no tabs again. Well, whatever I do, I'm never happy with it. I just wish I could have the best of both worlds.....
Yes! Indeed, the statusbar updates and offline msg alerts are AWESOME though. and right now, I have Whatsapp, Ebuddy, PingChat, FacebookChat, and MXit installed on my phone and still attempting to get a ported version of BBM (with very little luck) so yeah. Droid FTW! MXit without tabs FTL! still.
how did you make your mxit work??
my mxit is always crashing just like the jbed and wont even open. what do i do??

the only IM program I use is aim. I've read the comparison chart and a few threads I found searching but I haven't really seen one that comments directly on the aim functionality of the programs.
what client do you all like best for aim?
thanks
IM+

I use IM+ and i like it.
Agile Messenger all the way. Has softkey support for WM5/6 which IM+ does not. Plus IM+ doesnt auto-reconnect if you drop cellular signal. Agile does.

I use MunduIM. It's cheap, has a decent interface, and works well.

auto reconnect seems like a must have feature if you want people to be able to communicate to you on aim reliably.
i was looking for an IM program that works with sms so i downloaded mobile IM (oz communcations) via medianet and it works ok, i dunno why but windows mobile makes everything seem complicated. i had the same prog on my old sony ericsson w810 and it seemed to work a lot smoother
im also looking for a good Aim client sort of like the one similar to the sorry ass t-mobile sidekick... an aim client that includes ur buddies away messages next to there name and also has there icon picture visable
I've noticed a majot trend- seems like almost everyone here wants something that used data instead of SMS for IM. I'm quite the opposite, and am looking for a client that works like the original OEM, that uses SMS. I actually don't have a data plan, and even if I did, I have unlimited IM through SMS and would rather use that than a data connection.
I've found CABs of the Oz client used on both AT&T and T-Mobile, and I've installed both, but both give me the same strange error when I run it.
ExceptionCode: 0x80000002

Any ideas or hints on this one? Any good IM clients out there for WM6 that would use SMS, or at least give you the option to use SMS?
slick messenger..
can buzz in yahoo and live messenger with it
dunno in aim because i didnt have aim id
For those looking for IM over SMS get the latest OZ Instant Messenger and Today plugin here:
http://www.cinetsystems.com/xda/Kaiser Cab Collections/OZ_Instant_Messanger_at_t_AKU_0.4.4.CAB
http://www.cinetsystems.com/xda/Kaiser Cab Collections/OZ_IM_Today_Plugin.CAB
For those looking for IM over DATA get Agile Messenger here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/57054171/agile_messenger_ppc.CAB.html
slick is definitely the best.. its so fast to when i send messages it actually is instant unlike other programs. plus it free and supports a wide variety of protocols.
Without question, agile is just as "instant" as slick and FAR better looking than slick (which looks like it was directly ported from a series 60 device and doesnt even utilize the windows mobile interface.) Have you even tried it?

The Agile that u uploaded , I can't get to work at all. I can't Log into AIM or Yahoo even though my Interenet is working on my Phone ?
Am I doing something Wrong ?
Same hea, it just doesn't connect at all either through 3G or WiFi.

Go figure it's having problems...the proxy used by this program is currently offline, but it is a temporary problem. Expect it to be resolved soon. It is NOT the program, but the web proxy. Please be patient and it'll work soon.
MJB
Interesting ? And exactly Who's Proxy Is this going through.... Please PM me if this is Sensitive Material
Anyway to Tunnel it Through my own Proxy Server ? So I don;t have to Rely on Someone elses ?
i have used agile before and i admit the slick interface isn't as nice as agile, but its not unbearable. i actually kind of like the simplistic streamlined look though. plus slick has features such as file transfers, offline ims, messages history, and a lot more configuration options.
also doesn't agile require you to purchase a key after a certain amount of uses?
Hi there i also have a dutcht version of the excaliber and i have instalt windows live messenger beta on it but it keeps saying that there is a problem with my internet connexion. i am a orange costomer can any one help me with this?
I don't know what the problem is but I have the same issue on my Dash...anyone?

Does anyone know where I can find the latest binary for WLM?
IM Client
Hello again all, I was wondering what program everyone is using for instant messaging? I'm using the one that came bundled with my t-mo dash but I just don't like it. Anyone have any suggetions?
You might as well do a search or take a look at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290153&highlight=
I'm using Agile Messanger and I'm absolutely satisfied.
i am using the new skype. it works good with wifi and chatting also works with gprs after you once connected via wifi, the first time.
There is a new one that does them all (AIM, MSN, GTalk, Yahoo, ICQ, and Jabber) that is currently free and Java based. I quit using IM+ (which I paid for) and am using it exclusively. Currently the beta testing is closed while I think they upgrade their servers, but should open up again shortly I think).
It is supposed to be for the crackberries, but works great on my Dash and K-Jam:

Octro: www.octro.com
Free during beta. Big thing about it is it does Google Talk (VOIP) over 3g or even just 1x speeds.
Also does IM with GTalk, AIM, Y!, MSN and ICQ. It has a nice today plugin, customized away messages and auto-login/logout.

Works on my Excalibur and Blackjack..
I find Octro little bit strange as I don't see all of my contacts there and also Octro does not download the "nicknames" from ICQ server so I see only their IDs
Anyone know where I can get the OzInstantMessenger cab?
Agile Messenger is all you'll need. There are some annoying bugs here and there, but for the features it has, I believe it is the best option out there.

Wow, I have been using Octro for Gtalk but I had no idea that they also supported Y! and MSN! Is this a a new feature? I just updated mine like 3 weeks ago. That's wonderful (makes my paid version of IM+ looks positively lame).
Edit: Ahh, I am running v1.0 and v1.01 onwards added support for multiple chat clients. How fantastic!

it used to be until they unleashed that crazy pricing scheme. Plus, I get errors on staturp from it. It's never been the most stable either.

1.03 just came out about 3 days ago. It now adds vibration to the smartphone edition (which was lacking). It enables automatically in the "meeting" profile, etc.
such a great app. I'm hoping they add some SMS relay to the system too to save battery life (like Verichat had)...

McHale, did you have to do anything special to get JiveTalk running on your Dash or KJam. What version did you install? I am wanting to load this on my P3600 if at all possible, but I am getting java errors.
Thanks,
Shawn
I would also like to know how you got Jive Talk on the Dash. I just switched from a Pearl and liked using it on the BB, I would love to have it on my Dash tho. Any info would be great.
MSN Live
Is there a way just to get MSN Live from WM6 into WM5? Does anyone has it that could share it?
hello, i now i'm not a genius but i can take direction or instrucctions..i tried to download your jzsmartmort application but i guess my phone couldn't support it or it was me who didn't know how to installed it..anyways i did have problems with the original ie icon it said that an error or could not run the mortscript ..but i finally uninstalled the program..ok, the thing is that i defenetly would like to see if you mr jzsmartmort can provide me with a program other than my original ie on the phone that i can use..i already have syfire but is too slow..i tried opera mini but it doesn't let me installe the program..like i said i'm not an expert but i can defenetly follow instrucctions on how to download applications or other programs that could make my phone a better phone or a phone that has a lot of programs i can use..thanks a lot and in hopes to receive a good response..
well....
well, i use multiple browsers for different reasons. i rarely use IE, skyfire is good for full sites and flash and, I use opera mini for most of my searches and overall browsing. im tinkering with a few others. They just came out with a smartphone friendly version of the full opera browser v10 beta 3. Id try that but it is kind of slow as well. In regards to opera mini, you do have java installed on your phone right?
btw, smartmort doesnt install more browsers. cool stuff though once you figure it out lol
Greetings!
My question is: how to disable Update Profile tool on Sprint Firmware , so it would be not
to run automatically once a day?
Help me please. Thanks!
DO NOT TRY THIS ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN WINDOWS MOBILE VERSION 6.5.3 OR HIGHER! IT CONSISTS OF A .DLL FILE DEVELOPED AFTER WM 6.1! YOU WILL DISABLE FEATURES!
I love using Mobile Shell 3.5.3, and I love using Windows Mobile 6.5.3, but the facebook and twitter widgets would not connect for me. I kept getting the error cannot connect. It was driving me nuts and forcing me to switch to a regular 6.5 rom. I figured out that 28002 was the last 6.5.3 build that these widgets worked on, so I pulled some packages out and added them to the new builds and viola! it worked. I've narrowed it down to the webview.dll file. This works fine for me when I cook it in, and I've tested the cab a few times. The widgets can connect now, and Internet Explorer doesn't seem to be affected. I don't use it all that often so I can't really say for sure if it makes a huge difference.
The cab is hard-coded to go to the windows directory and cannot be uninstalled. So this is kind of a one-time deal.
This is only a test and will need some feedback from others before we can call this one a sure thing.
BACKUP YOUR PHONE BEFORE YOU TRY!
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT THIS MAY DO TO YOUR PHONE!
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
.
i'm guess i'm the only one with this problem?
I'm using a 28205 6.5.3 build, and the Facebook widget works fine for me.

No you're not. People are all over SPB developers behind in the SPB forums. So far they have just said that they are looking into it.
I'll back up my phone now and try this. Is there a manual way of uninstalling and getting back to the old settings?
So no luck. I am using build 23037 and the Facebook screen still keeps getting the "Retry" button. Internet Explorer seems to work ok.
I actually receive the same error, yet it updates my status anyway.
It works! It opens my default browser and there's a message about a bug in the application, therefore I cannot log in. But when I try again to open Facebook in SPB Mobile Shell it logs in.
My ROM: Energy.KOVSKY.23519.Leo_04.Feb.2010
Thx a lot man!

I too have a 23519 build this seems to have worked for me although only for google and facebook widgets the twitter does not say fail to connect any longer but it just sits on a white screen anyone else?
I'm have ing the very same issue using Flame build 23529.
Twitter widget sometimes say failed to connect with a retry button, sometimes it just displays and white screen and hangs the mobile, requiring me to pull out the battery.
I'm downloading the patch now! Will let you guys know how it goes.
WOOHOO!!!
It works!!
Thanks mtstmp!
WICKED!!! IT workedd!! you're a genius, i love the facebook feature of spb mobile shell too =D THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHHHHHH
Amazing this solved the problem for me too
thank .....works like a charm
My facebook works fine but twitter has never worked. I get a range of errors error 403, error 406, white screen or a twitter message about the page being invalid.
I tried installing this fix but its still not working. I have tried all the cookies etc.
Im using an hd2 with a cooked rom (WM6.5.5)
any other ideas?
Thanks
man ...thank YOU and F SPB
Works perfectly. Thank you!
Twitter's still borked though. After login and confirm it says sending you back to application and proceeds to lock up.
Thanks for the great work, FYI, this also fixed FIM's internal browser on 6.5.3.
still does not work
im using kumar rom 1.3 for tmobile and it does not work
thanks man this seems to be working for me I can at least get to internet explorer to log into facebook now i wasn't able to before. big thanks for that i can at least add pictures to my contacts now using facebook
Just gave it a shot and I also got the white screen. It also dissabled explorer for me. Used SK tools to uninstall and explorer up and working again. For now..... Thanks for working on this problem.
Stock 6.1 Rom on Vouge
it doesnt work for me...
I have a Palm treo pro and until last week both twitter and FB widgets worked fine. Now, no matter what, they won't connect. I tried using this cab but just got the white screen and stop IE for working properly, so I deleted and IE got back to normal. Thanks anyway...
Anything else we can try to make these widgets work?
HI,
Wondering if anyone has skype working on android with rhodium? It doesn't seem to work for me with tiad and frx04 with the latest kernel. It would just crash and go back to home screen or stay in the sign place. Would be cool to use my skype account with this phone. The windows mobile skype app was really bad if people used it.
Thanks!!
AFAIK they haven't made one for our old phones yet - as in old native Android devices don't work with Skype...
Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong - I just remember reading that somewheres... I haven't tried the app myself.
skype works fine for me, I used FroyoX, now I'm going to FRX04, and I use the WM skype and its not bad... You should also download a task manager app from the market to kill unused apps, I get about 50MB of ram after killing them!
You can also try IM+ its free for android and very light and faster than the official skype app. However it's ugly
Edit: here's the link for skype http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873073
