I have tried a number of different jblend and jbed versions to launch java games on my touch dual. Almost all of them either produced errors, didnt launch or install the java files. I finally found one that worked which was a version of jbed called JRebeiro Esmertec Jbed which has a build ID: 20071119.3.1. This one launched all the java files perfectly.....
However, the only problem now is that I can't use the soft keys! I can use the D-pad and the keypad (numbers) to navigate through the menus, but the left/right soft keys don't work. For example, if I run Need for speed pro street, the first option is whether or not to enable sound. The 'yes' and 'no' icons show, but I cant select either soft key so I cant continue!!
I tried searching the forum and read through the whole 'midlet bible' thing but didnt find anything conclusive!
Does anyone know a solution? or even a midlet manager that has the soft keys working?

Strange, in my 3.1 copy (did you use the same as me? http://www.winmobiletech.com/092007MidletBible/JRebeiro_EsmertecJbed_20071119.3.1.zip ) works just great on my (several) Pocket PC's.
If it doesn't work at all, get Cloudyfa's 2.1: http://www.winmobiletech.com/092007MidletBible/Jbed.zip
First of all, thanks for the reply.
I had the same versions as you just showed and I had also previously tried Cloudyfa's version too. I tried out the ones you posted anyway just to be safe but I had the same problem on both...no soft keys. (BTW, The soft key buttons on screen work in the Jbed main screen, its just when I launch a java game that I cant select or use the soft keys).
What buttons do you use as the soft keys?
The only buttons left on my touch dual apart from the number pad is the start and end call buttons, the navigation/D pad, the volume up and down keys and the camera button. Only the navigation/d-pad buttons seem to when I launch a game in Jbed, but the other keys function as normal (if i press the call button, the phone dialer appears, or if i press the camera button, it launches the camera).
So are the soft key buttons on the touchscreen (icons shown on the touchscreen) meant to work? Or is the touch dual lacking the necessary buttons?

oic. I've always used hardware buttons; no wonder in-game softkeys don't work (they aren't supposed to).
use a button redefiner; for example, AEBPlus, to map left/right softkey functionality to the existing buttons (for example, Camera)
Thanks for that. I finally solved it!
I went and got AEBplus like you said and I noticed it showed the left and right soft keys eventhough there arent any on the touch dual. Then I went to check the actual buttons option in the windows setting tab and found that I can map some of the shortcut buttons as left/right soft keys! Everything works perfectly now. Just got to find the right buttons to map the left/right soft keys.
Finally solved that problem! I'm surprised no one mentioned this anywhere else.....probably because its a touch dual specific problem.

So I installed Android on my HD2 last night and one of the first things I tried out was Snesoid. The problem is though that the only buttons that show are start, select, and the dpad. I can't seem to get it to show a,b,x,y. Anyone know what the problem might be?
Its my trackball click, key 272. I'm able to use it only during CWM recovery (such as key test) but can't use it while actually using my phone itself. Like for games or browsing internet like I used to.
I use a rooted my touch 4g with the latest aokp rom
Edit: if I hold down trackball while moving to a general direction it registers as a click, VERY inconvenient for playing my usual games requiring a trackball. I also tried exploring files such as qwerty.kl and such using androzip text viewer but got caught in an endless loading loop

Edit again: I believe this is related to why I can't trackball click.

I'm a newbie mindlessly surfing Google for answers all day, please if anyone could help me find a workaround
Edit: I've been up all night and managed to find a quick fix (still sucks for trackball-specific games during those split-second moments) I downloaded buttonremaper from xda and switched my menu key to dpad center.
It works for the most part, but like I stated earlier I'm still stuck to making the phone recognize the dpad center (it says its key 272 in CWM recovery key test)
Also, I have heard dpad center can also be key 232?
Bump?
I need help. 2 days ago that I have a problem with the buttons of Shield
They work parcially
Nvidia Button: Rather than launching Shield Hub, it makes Shield sleep (but i can shut down and reboot)
Home button doesn't works (No multitask, no Google Now)
Back button: Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't
Pause button: Only for Game Mapper
Luckly, A,B,X,Y, joysticks, d-pad, bumpers and triggers, work perfectly
I tried to do a wipe but when I enter recovery mode, i get a message that says "Any command". Anyway, i did a hard reset by the System configurations (and not be solved)
Someone more it has happened this? How i can solve it?
Sorry for my bad English, i'm using my poor knowledge of English and a translator
Thanks!
Hello,
Last week my phone went off because the battery was drained to 0.
Then next morning I connected the phone to my car's charger and when I turned it on, I figured that the soft keys are not working anymore.
I have tried multiple methods like clearing cache, factory reset (through Settings and Recovery), but none of that worked.
I am running the latest stock firmware (5.1.1 U2COH2).
Did this happen to any of you before? Is there an app that allows me to reconfigure the keys? Could this be a hardware issue?
I appreciate your response.
If you are rooted, you could try reflashing the kernel. Works fir me. Sprint variant
I'm not rooted. I believe it's a hardware issue, unless somebody else has a different opinion.
i have the same problem on the recent app softkey (left botton) . i made all kind of reset, but nothing change, sometime i have a "crazy" soft button that start to work like a spirit! or stop to work.
i tried also "safe mode" and a little less, but same (random) problem!
The only way, i find, before to go to assistance (or to put in the garbage!!!) is to disable the softkey.
i find this on xda:
Use a root explorer (I used X-plore with root enabled).
Go to
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
Backup file Generic.kl ( copy it as a .bk or something )
Then open the file Generic.kl using the text editor within X-plore.
Then find the word APP_SWITCH linking with the code number (mine is key 254), change APP_SWITCH to MENU. Then reboot and your are done. The Recent Apps button is now back to being a Menu button. Life is great.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/how-to-remap-buttons-t3084638/page4
put"#" before key 254 and the key stop to exist, and stop to crash my balls
if someone has a different way to fix is wellcome for me.
thanks!
