It is safe to install and use client Java (Java SE). Java is just a runtime environment and is not connected to network. So your security depends on what apps you run with Java. SDK Manager is a safe app for sure

Thank you for the information

That's not true, sites and apps were being infected with java exploits not your java.

So how standalone Java package (Java SE) can be infected? Only poor-written Java apps may be infected, not the Java package itself.

I know what I meant but not sure on how best to say it

To protect from exploits, it is possible to just disable Java in browser. My browser (Chrome) asks me before running Java web-plugins.

how to use .jar app?

any idea how to use .jar app?
i am assuming you would need to have jbed or something of that nature installed to allow android java ability. if you don't already have it, you can update your android installation to include it.

I am using Eclair. By safe I meant does it hangs or stores too much data n all and yes the very primary query was rooting required or not.

No, it doesn't need root, so rooting is NOT required.
First it converts java apps to apks and you must keep J2ME runner installed for running those apps.
I'm using only one app with J2ME runner ( that is Shmessenger) and I like it more than the original yahoo mess app.
If you have other intresting java apps working on android please share.

I was only having one mobile bank-app which will not be useful to you...
Snaptu is also good(social netwrk, news, picturs, movies etc all integrated) I had it on my last java mobile [ http://m.snaptu.com/ ] not tested on android yet.
Any ways, in that J2me runner only you will find so many apps/games.
will share if anything else comes interesting.
Thanks.
I agree with games, but you can convert your prefered apps too, not only ones in the j2me runner.

Thoughtlesskyle's Not So Super Froyo
[RLS18] [12/4/2010] Who Invited This
Guy!
had anyone here has a java emu update file thanks
Android doesn't use a java VM it uses dalvik instead. Dalvik was reverse engineered to do java. I am pretty sure there are no updates for it except gingerbread.

hmm, instead of running opera mini jar on java emulator, why didn't you install operamini from market, or download the apk and install it via astro?
I think it will be better in performance.

[Q] Develop ROM Q

First of all i would like to say,
You guys are doing a great job and i really appreciate what you all are doing with this community. Spending a lot of time and money i am sure to develop and distribute these great ROMs.
On that note....
I would like to start developing my own roms to share to the world as well. I was wondering if someone could help me out atleast getting started on doing so.
Like what progs i am going to need
any type of coding or w.e i am going to have to learn
anything i need to do to start developing i can sure as hell try my damdest lol
Thank you for your help.

PS: Sorry if this is not suppose to be in this forum.
Start by learning adb .
Google android sdk and download and install the android sdk. Load the sdk manager at the end of windows installer or through ./android i believe in your extracted folder on linux (depending on what you use) and download platform tools. You now have adb. There are tons of tutorials on setting this up and its use.
Apktool. This is available on Google code. And Google search will pull it up.
Apktool d yourapk.apk
Apktool b yourapk.apk
Will decompile and compile apk respectively. You'll need java to run all of the above. Again, there are tutorials out there.
I recommend getting your feet wet with learning the basics of adb and Apktool and then you can dive into building android from source should you so choose..
I suggest you go to the top of the forum there is a section there called " chef central " & read most of the whole thing ....lots of info there not always about this phone but most works either way ....that's why it's called learning

Will it be safe to assume you mean ROM. Java coding is required. But seeing that you are asking this you should learn more about android system and start with some apps than when you get the hang of app development you could work from there and maybe even make money out of it.
also If you mean apps java will be the best way and ensure that it will run on more devices but there are also some android app maker but they are not free
BTW all the info should be taken with a grain of salt seeing I am not a developer
No you don't really even need to know Java.
You will need an Ubuntu installation (x64). I recommend 12.04. I can tell you for sure that it works on 12.04
Here are some helpful links.
