New FREE Program! Jar to Alx! Made by Brandon Swift aka me!

[Mrulukai]

Hello fellow crackberry heads,

I've visited this forums a couple of times... Anyway
BSCreations! - brandon.berryreview.com

For all you Crackberry Heads out there, heres a nice utility I really hope you will use. (I spent a whole 2 days working on it so you better!). Do you want to get games onto your Blackberry? Do you get tired of having to go through various OTA sites hoping to find a java game or two that might work with your Blackberry? Now I cant guarantee you free jar games or any jar games at that, but I can give you a nice little program that can make things a little easier. Theres a nifty little file type called .ALX which you can upload to your Blackberry through Device Manager. Searching various forums I've found that many Crackberry heads want Jar games on their phone yet find it very difficult with all the errors and complications. Now those who have successfully convert their .Jar games into .ALX have a higher success rate of getting a game to work, but have to go through the trouble of copy and pasting directories in a batch file and praying for the best. This may work but its slow, and for those who arent nerds and geeks, its a major hassle. So my fellow Crackberry heads, I give you a BSCreation: Jar to ALX! With this program, all you have to do is download and install theBlackberry JDE and Run this program to create that ALX file you need to simply upload your game to your blackberry through Device Manager. Finally you can have a nice user interface that its mostly just clicking, and deciding which jar file to convert. This program saves your directory information so you can skip 2 of the three "find a directory steps" to make things alot faster. It comes packaged with JADMaker which is a plus because Jad files are also in high demand. So use this FREEEEEEEEEE Program. Yes I said free!!!!! and Feel Free to DONATE!!! One Dollar!.. To my paypal account!!!! MrUlukai@gmail.com is my paypal address... Im sorta kidding but Im not! But anyway, this is a free program so try it out. Refer people to it. And most importantly Donate $1 to my paypal!... And another most important thing is to send me emails, post on forums (Hopefully Ill check em) And give me private messages that tell me how much you like the program and how it can be made better!

Add my pin to bbmessenger also. = P

I've just updated the program to a version 1.2.

Note:
J2A doesnt like JAR filenames that have spaces in them. I forgot to add this in the help file and as a pop up message on first run so I apologize. So make sure the filename for the JAR is "mygame.jar" Instead of" my game.jar"

Updates:
New Design

Reworded messages to be a little more percise on what exactly the program is doing.

Start button doesnt freeze or disappear under any circumstances (that I know of)

Ive also fixed the ALX files so there will be no XML error when trying to load onto blackberry with desktop manager.

Ive added a debug mode so you can see what goes on when that command prompt window pops up.

Also added an ability to start or stop the sound.

Ive hopefully fixed the error where The program resets itsself and asks for directories again.

Check the help file or readme for any extra stuff.

Brandon

Wow Old Post huh! Newest Version is 1.3.1 you can find it at Brandon.berryreview.com.

1.3.1

Now tells you if Jars are incompatable with J2A.

1.3

Glad you guys like it!

seems excellent and i was hoping to get it to work but i just cant lol. I convert the game into .alx then while transferring to my phone i get "XML syntax error on line 2" any suggestions?

[Mrulukai]

Hmmm... I havent seen that error since version 1.0? I'd say get the newest version 1.3.1. If you have it and it still doesnt work, try another jar.

[k4cowboys4k]

I installed the new version and got the same error, any jar files you have that you know work i cant test to make sure its that problem?

[lmcsp]

How do I do this with a Mac?

I have 4 versions of need for speed [all jar] and I wouldn't mind not having to play 'brickbreaker' for the rest of my days ..

EDIT: I found a way to do it via USB without converting files: D+D the jar file into your BB directory and the go 'explore' then you will see the file, click on the file and 'download'.

I havent got it to install the game yet, but I will keep you'all posted

I am having a little trouble :: See my other thread

Thanks for the link.

[jesseshangout]

Thanks dude.

Not to rain on your parade but, the pearl will convert the jar by itself. If your gonna do it using DM anyway why wouldnt you just have the phone do it for you?

... The most late response ever... Well from my experience I have a hard time trying to get my pearl to convert jars. If I download one OTA the jar may be to big or my signal may go out or sumthing, I try to do the media card jar install and I've never got that to work, and if the jar im trying to install is incompatable, my phone freezes. I just find it easier to use this.

Oh and this program is at a version 1.4 now =D. Woot

Does this work with .JAD too ?

[Mrulukai]

.Jad's are only descriptors of Jar files. Jar files contain the actual program which needs to be converted.
