Goat asked me to put this on here. Same process for widgets!!

Hey everyone, I found a new way of installing games. Not sure if you know about it yet or not. If you don't I would like to call it, "Sheep breaking", LOL.

Ok here is how you do it it's simple.

1.) Get your game file with the extension .jar.

2.) Copy the html file that I attach with this post.

3.) Modify the html file by opening with Notepad. Modify the highlighted areas shown in the following:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Game
</title>

</head>
<body>

</br></br></br></br>
<h1 style="background-color:#F0E68C;">
<p><center><a style="text-decoration: none" href="Enter game file name here.jar" >Game
</a></center></p>
</h1>
</body>
</html>

4.) Just send the new .html and .jar to your phone. Should be in the "Other Files" folder.

5.) Open the .html file and click on the link.

6.) BINGO!!!!! Game installed!!

Make sure you input the correct .jar file.
You may delete all files when complete.
Save the .html file for reference!

I really wanna know if this uses the phones internet or has data charges that apply. It looks like it uses the internet but I cant tell since the files are all on ur memory card. I need to know cuz I dont have internet and I need a free way to download games to my phone. Thanks for your help Cheesy.

I'd have to say that it probably doesn't use the internet.  It looks like the browser is being pointed to a local directory...the same way you can use firefox to look at your C: drive on a computer.

I'd agree, doesn't appear to access anything but phone file system.
That would be some crap if Att somehow charged you for data from your phones file system through the browser back to your phone. LOL

Sorry no vid, may help explain some things though. First of all, see the two downloadable files attatched to this post (theyre at the bottom). Well download them and then copy them to your phones memory card the same way you would if copying and pasting files onto a usb drive (If you dont have a card reader on your computer then I dont know how you would do this, but I bought one for like $7 at best buy a while ago). I like to keep the .html file and .jar file in the same folder on my memory card, you might want to do the same. Then insert the memory card into your phone, find the html file on your phone, and open the html file. From there it will automatically install the game onto your phone, you should see it in the game browser.

^That is just to show you how to install it once you've created the .html file, you can use my example to download the actual pacman game if you want, I also made several other .html files for games that I downloaded and Ill upload them if you want me to.


How I created the .html file:

1) I copied the example at the begginning of this post (the red text is what I changed from the example) to get this:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Pac-Man
</title>

</head>
<body>

</br></br></br></br>
<h1 style="background-color:#F0E68C;">
<p><center><a style="text-decoration: none" href="Pac-Man.jar" >Game
</a></center></p>
</h1>
</body>
</html>





2) Notice that the red text in href="Pac-Man.jar" is the EXACT file name of the .jar file, it should be that way for all the .html files you create

3) You can make your .html files with notepad but make sure to save them with .html at the end. I like to add HTML_ at the begginning for convenience and organization.

4) ALSO, when you save them, select the "save as" option and make sure you change "save as type:" from "Text Documents (*.txt)" to "All files". Because of this the ".html" that you should have added to the end of the filename will make the file become an .html file.



I hope this helps, and sorry if I get something wrong since Im new to this stuff.

Also, does this method work with the samsung impression? If not, is there any similar method that would work?

Try it. It should work on most Samsung devices like the propel. Should not break your phone if it doesn't.

No officially does not use data at all. Brilliant idea on whoever made the html. Also no memory card reader is needed, simply set your connection setting to mass storage and put it (the html and jar file) in the video or picture files, and hit the html and click game and it should install auto. Extremely fast and brilliantly easy!

I tried this on the Impression but I keep getting "Invalid URL"   I put the Jar and the Html files in the videos folder under the mmc folder. This seems simple but I could use some help.

With this version of jar installation do you run into problems with permissions? like the constant asking for permission to use the internet?

Games do not need special permissions like apps do. If you install apps this way that need special permissions (internet, camera, file system, etc.) they won't work properly
