'failed to install midlet' error on XDA orbit - General Questions and Answers

I have developed a very simple midlet (my first one) that uses GPS to determine location coordinates and then displays them on the screen. (CLDC 1.1 and MIDP 2.0)
I am using the O2 XDA Orbit and have tried to install this using midlet manager as well as downloading from a host. Both times I recieved the error 'failed to install midlet'.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks,
Natasha.

1. welcome to XDA-Dev
2. as defcomg has stated, the TAO Intent MIDlet manager doesn't seem to support serial access. Install Jbed (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1483665&postcount=24 ) and try again.

Thank you both, I shall give it a go!

I installed JBed and now the midlet installs, however when I try to run the app I get this error:
"The midlet could not be instantiated:java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError"
My midlet only contains one class, could this be something to do with using an optional API (Location JSR 179)?
I read somewhere that you had to add a midlet-extensions property to the manifest which I have done (Midlet-Extensions: javax.microedition.location), could this be part of the problem?
Thanks,
Natasha.

Problem with WM6 contain MIDlet_Manager_11.1.7.1029

Hi all,
I have a bit problem with the MIDlet Manager 11.1.7.1029, I installed the Gamil / MSN JAVA, every time I do some actions on the JAVA, the MIDlet will ask "the problem wiches access the network........"
Do anyone know how to stop this message? because this is very bother, if runing the MSN JAVA, it will show this message a lot of times.
And also, this was no such problem on the version 11.1.7.1023, but I can't do downgrade to this version.
yes you can downgrade. I was having trouble with this version as well, except when I updated mine, it would not allow me to install any midlets. Look up risidoro intent midlet manager.
Yeah I get this same behavior with the .1029 version in the mUn ROM. I'm looking to downgrade to the .1023 version found here:

Esmertec JAVA Manager

Ok, this a bit off topic, but I guess people could find it usefull.
At least for me one of the most important applications on my MDA Vario with WM 6 (Pandora 3.2) is Opera Mini. It worked perfectly in the Intent Java Manager, *but* the last version (Opera Mini 4 beta) crashes it...
I tried one IBM Midlet Manager - not crashing, but ugly fonts, not working soft buttons.
Now I found Esmertec JAVA Manager. It looks good and it did not crash yet (*though so far I tested it only for a few minutes*).
It can be downloaded from:
http://wmblack.info/
Go to "Are there any Add-Ons?" and download "Black Add-On Cabs" (the file Enchantments.rar) ... There is a CAB "Esmertec JAVA Manager.cab" there...
Just install it - I used Pandora 3.2 with the previously installed Intent MIDP manager and had no problems to install Esmertec...
Thanks to Jimm98y for inspiration (I noticed he does have Esmertec in his ROM so I started to look for it - I have never heard about this Midlet Manager before)
@moderators: feel free to move this post elsewhere... I know it is not WM 6 specific...
Mirek
I posted similar information also on "Opera Mini" forum on Opera (with the note that if the moderators do not like the link to the website, they can delete it, but it would be nice to keep the info for other frustrated users of Windows Mobile and Opera Mini).
The reaction was swift. When checking it a few minutes later, the thread was deleted, together with my whole user account which I created this morning (without any warning). As if nothing has ever existed...
Well, never mind, I just wanted to help the fellow Windows Mobile owners... I do not care about forums on Opera...
Mirek
Tnx. I got it and will try it later today.
Mirek, do you know why you post is deleted? It is because Esmertec Java is not a freeware! It is normal to have post and account deleted if you post warez in software forums.

Well, both the thread and the account reappeared. The Opera forums had yesterday some technical problems, so maybe they worked with an old backup for some time (just a guess)...
As for warez: you may be right it is not completely legal, but I linked just a web with Hermes ROM (which is more or less similar to ROMs in this forum and which was *not* made by me)... This forum would not exist if we did not use "illegal" ROMs (there is no legal version of WM 6 for Wizard). So I leave this problems to moderators (I expect they may not like the link).
But back to the Opera Mini 4 Beta in the Java Manager. The only problem I saw was when writing text in edit fields. Remember to close on-screen keyboard before leaving the field! Otherwise it will "hang" there taking part of screen, impossible to close. If this happens, just open another text field, close the on-screen keyboard (it is possible only when editing) and go on...
Mirek
I found a nice place with many Midlet Managers (just one catch - the web page is in Russian):

Just one thing to say, this forum is not that forum, what we like is not what they like.
anyone knows how to use esmertec and opera mini with a proxy?
the TAO midlet manager gave u the chance to change or add a proxy in the registry. so u could run opera mini with an o2 surf&email flatrate

Looking also for a way to enter proxy
you know, for some reason, esmertec java wouldn't allow me to grab and scroll in opera mini. and for opera mini beta 4, that's a travesty, because i could only navigate with the dpad, completely defeating the purpose. i had gotten used to the intent MM built into the standard Wizard rom, but since upgrading to NBD 8.0, Esmertec Java was there, which is why i tried it. now i'm simply installing intentMM along with it.
[extra note]
there's also that nasty little problem of, if entering something into a text box, one doesn't minimize the keyboard, it will stay there on the screen with no way to hide it, unless one goes into another text box. annoying?
did anyone else have these problems?

the same problems here. I'm using Risidoro's Intent Manager 11.1.7.1023 instead which deals with the program's graphics and overall behaviour much better.
Anyone has the CAB for 11.1.7.1029 ? What are the changes?
This topic begs me the question....
i was reading and i'm in the process of "trying" to make a ROM, and well i need to know which is better Emertec or Intent? i have Jaguar 3.1 rite now and it comes with Emertec, however I'm just beginning to explore my Java app options on my cingular 8125.
THe newest versions of esmertec (dated june and july) seemed to work fine with opera mini..including the scrolling...esmertec is included in XM6R3 rom..the one in my signature if you want to "try it"
Good luck.
Plus...
i just ran Faria's kitchen rom last night and i used the inent and i immediately was greeted with a " Invalid application" when i tried to start one of the java games the emertec java found so easy to operate. So i now agree that emertec is the better of the two.
For some reason, now, when I try to use IntentMM, I get "failed to install" and "failed to uninstall" messages, so I am going back and testing this new version of Esmertec. If anyone wants the link to it, here it is. Jbed is Esmertec and Tao is Intent, in case you don't know.
[edit]
Oh just great. I installed the newest IntentMM, and now it won't uninstall. Also, now Esmertec has timed out (the linked file doesn't work). I am now OperaMini-less..
It looks like the Esmertec midlet manager version most of people are using is just a time limited trial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326951
I certainly found out that the Esmertec in TNT 4.0 no longer works (unless the date is moved back).
I did not try any other Esmertec version, so there may be some good one around... I do not know.
Anyway - Opera Mini 4 Beta 2 now works fine with Tao Intent Midlet Manager so not a big problem for me.

The version in XM6r3 is 20070425.1.1 and it is still working just fine. I don't remember what it was now, but I had an issue trying to use the June version that was in TNT 4.0 (and a few other roms) so I dropped back to the April version. Lucky choice I guess

I believe its right just made a cab out of the same April package version thats been posted elsewhere, so his CAB would be the same as whats in XM6r3.
Sorry, haven't followed this closely, but what is the "full screen" version? No menu bar at the top and softkey bar at the bottom?
yes, with opera mini :
no wm6 menu bar at the top (but a "slim" red opera border)
and no wm6 softkey bar at the bottom (but a "slim" red opera bar)

Help needed installing correct MIDlet platform

I have a Treo 500 WM6 Standard and I am trying out Opera mini beta 2. It all seems to work except that I cannot save pages. I discovered this forum and tried to install Esmertec Jbed 20080222 3.1.cab which, if I have understood, offers a better Java environment? It installs OK but when I run the program from mt Applications menu I get a blank screen only.
Have I installed the corrrect version? Or maybe the treo is the problem?
I read that "To save pages [using Opera Mini] a phone must support JSR-75" whatever that is!
I have a £50 Skype phone which saves pages no bother but not the expensive Treo!! I MUST have a way of saving pages. Can anyone help or point me to another solution?
Thanks

Dguitar, java applet:

is it possible to run this on ppc?
the online applet version:
HTML:
http://dguitar.sourceforge.net/fr/livedemo.html
the offline version as "dguitarapplet.htm":
HTML:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/dguitar/DGuitar0.3.1.v.zip?use_mirror=fastbull
the application itself:
HTML:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/dguitar/DGuitar-0.5.8.zip?use_mirror=garr
i'm new to the scene (just bought an ipaq 214).
i've read the java midlet bible, tried several combinations to no avail but
can't say for sure that it's impossible to run it on PPC, this is why i want an expert opinion.
thx in advance.
searched trough the net found nothing, there was only a single thread on this forum talking about Dguitar on ppc but no direct answer on the matter.
i tried CrEme plugin with PIE, JEODE plugin also, and nothing..
PIE can't display this applet, tried netfront 3.2 and nothing..
as far as i know opera doesn't have any workaround concerning the execution of java applets.
jbed and j9 gave me errors when i tried to execute the ".jar"..
i know that i still have to do deeper testing with CrEme to give up.
what i fear is that i messed up something on my WM install, trough heavy software installation, so all my testing could be erroneous.
i asked on this forum so i could have an answer from someone who have a clean and working java environment, if it is possible to execute this application, this application is unique because if it's working it would be the only "Guitar Pro tabs" capable application on the PPC.
