Some jar-applets does not work properly with the resolution of 800x480 as they are writen for a smaller resolution. The problem is, that the application tries to go to the full resolution.

It would be very useful to be able to force a resolution (e.g. 360 x 640 ) for some jar-applets.

Is it possible to ony install a .jar file if there is no jad file for it? If so, how?
Of course - you just need to use "Open midlet" button, and navigate to Your .jar file. Although, be warned, that some nasty programs, that come with both .jar and .jad won't work without .jad coming first.

Honestly, You could just try it, and ask, if it would not work.

Thanks for the reply, Estel!!!

I cannot find this Open Midlet button in my phoneme qml. I had installed this from ovi store. Maybe versions are different???

Probably yes - forget about Ovi Store, and use versions provided on the first post, in this very thread.

Is there any progress on having a better virtual keyboard or using the standard virtual keyboard on the N9? The current one has very small buttons.

I am not sure it is Qt related. as I only use Qt for the graphical front-end, not for the networking part.

The JavaME VM backend is pretty much network type agnostic.
Since there is no tight coupling with Maemo, you cannot turn on
and off 3G or WiFi from within the midlet (or pop up a window
whenever a midlet tries to access the network). I would have to
replace the networking subsystem for that.

Davy

I am not sure if Maemo can natively run at other resolutions
beyond 800x480.

The other approach would be to run a midlet in a virtual frame
buffer of 400x240 rather than 800x480, and then have Qt double
the size of the virtual framebuffer in software when rendering
each frame update. However, this is quite likely going to
impact the rendering performance.

I can confirm Estel's response. If you select a jar file, the VM
will look at the MANIFEST.MF file inside the jar file for the details
on how to start the midlet.

The jad file has a few more details in it, and some applications
indeed rely on some attributes specified in the jad file. So your
mileage may vary.

I am aware of the problem, but due to lack of time, I have not
been able to explore this further.

Basically, I have not yet found a way to programmatically pop up
the N9's virtual keyboard and trap keyboard events reliably. The
problem is that I am not using Qt widgets for text input which
would automatically trigger the keyboard. I have tried using a
dummy text input widget located off the screen and trap changes
in this text field, but I still could not get the virtual keyboard to pop
up (at least not on the emulator) :-(

The other solution is to modify phoneME's version of the virtual
keyboard, and size it up to a more reasonable resolution.
