Java Midlet Manager on HTC Artemis WM6
The reason I decide to write this post is that there were several problems with JAVA Midlet Managers with some of the latest coocked ROMs such as awesome B&B series and Artemis Touch ROMs (you can find them at xda-developers.com -> Forum -> Artemis). Though being unofficial, these ROMs are truly awesome and reliable, with latest and greatest features included.
The problems were of several nature, but with the latest one is that whenever you try to install Java application (.jad/.jar), you end up getting a message stating “low space” even though you have a lot of room in your phones memory.
Before the following steps I as well tried Intent’s latest 1036 Midlet Manager, but to no avail with important apps. Tried installing in main memory as well as on storage card. Then, according to Java guide (see below), I tried relocating the Jbed files to storage card and then applying the reg key. Still was getting the same “low space” error.
Here is what I ended up with … it is quite simple:
I downloaded the Cloudyfa’s Jbed 20070802.2.1 .cab installer and installed in main memory (effectively overwriting the existing 20070802.2.1 in B&B 4.2 ROM in my case).
Esmertec Jbed has very good softkey support.
MIDlets, after compilation as .obj, are kept in the same directory, making phone’s memory usage even worse. Again, if you manually relocate it, or install it using .cab file onto a storage card, it’s on the card that it’ll keep its deployed MIDlets on!
Now Opera Mini 4 Beta2 and Gmail 1.5.0, as well as several other applications are running nicely (though few are still not) and in full screen which is really cool. Only downside for this Jbed 20070802.2.1 is that it doesn’t support for example cookie handling, unlike previous. Apart from that Esmertec Jbed is without a doubt the best KVM/JVM out there right now.

UPDATE (Feb’08): The latest Esmertec Jbed build 20080222.3.1 can be downloaded from here (.cab 1.18MB).

[...] as the discussed OM4 here and latest GMail, then, you will want to download the Jbed MIDlet Manager HERE. Just install it (it’ll be installed in the main memory) and you’re set – you can go on [...]

Strange, I have just tried d/l the file and it is working. Try once again. As mentioned by you already, you have to be a registered user of the forum to fetch the file.

When I downloaded the contents of the JBed link I got lost in how to run the install on my phone cause there were no .cad or .exe. Could anyone help me out in getting this program to run on my phone. Sorry this is my first time ever trying this :)

Copy the .cab file to your phone->open file explorer->click the .cab file to install it … simple as that.
