jad

A JAD is basically just a text file telling your device where to find the actual components. Here's an example:

MIDlet-Name: Blackberry Messenger
MIDlet-Version: 5.0.0.8
MIDlet-Vendor: Research In Motion
RIM-COD-URL-1: net_rim_bb_qm_peer.cod
RIM-COD-Size-1: 1139546
RIM-COD-URL-2: net_rim_bb_qm_peer_resource_en.cod
RIM-COD-Size-2: 28244

"RIM-COD-URL-1: net_rim_bb_qm_peer.cod" is telling your phone to find the file "net_rim_bb_qm_peer.cod" in the same directory the JAD file is in. If you download the COD files for your app, you can create an ALX (which is like the desktop version of JAD file) file in notepage, which can be used in App Loader/Desktop Manager.

Seems like this might be confusing to you, so post the app you want to install and I'll make the files for you.

Alright, didn't realize this was coming from MobiHand. Give me a few minutes, I'll have it for you.

oh cool, thanks for doing this

PS- in the meantime, install BBSAK (BlackBerry Swiss Army Knife). It'll be a lot easier to use than Desktop Manager, and you'll need it to install apps.

EDIT: whoops, forgot to give the link! http://rimgeeks.com/download.php?f=B..._Installer.msi this is to install on your computer.

[Itanium Shock]

will it work with jad? or what?

[312]

Download this ZIP file to your desktop: MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

Just realized that I didn't even need to create an ALX, BBSAK installs without it.

Once downloaded, open it and drag the 2 files out to your desktop. Open BBSAK (it'll prompt you for your phone's password, if you don't have one leave it blank and click OK) and click INSTALL COD. Point it to your desktop where the 2 files are and double click autotextbak. You'll get a message saying it installed successfully, and voil�!

BBSAK installer: http://rimgeeks.com/download.php?f=B..._Installer.msi to be installed on your computer

[Itanium Shock]

oh okay
that sounds good,
thanks for helping me with this
I really appreciate it

[312]

No problem. Let me know that you got it installed...

And FYI, it's AutoTextBak. (they forgot the "c" in "back" when they named it!)

[Itanium Shock]

yeah it works

and yeah i know lol

[312]

Man, you already had someone do this for you...WTH?

Download the attached Zip file to your PC.

Unzip, and use DM to copy all 3 files to a new directory on your memory card.

Browse to the .jad file and click it.
