How To Change An Application's Permissions

[Alpha43]

Here the manual instructions to change an applications permissions by modding the permissions.

1. Copy the jar file to your phone
   
2. Install the file by going to the games, and install new, Or you can go to the file manager and install the file as well.
   
3. Plug the phone into the PC
   
4. Using windows explorer (USB Storage mode) navigate to \.system\java\DownloadApps\MIDletXXXX on your SD card where MIDletXXXX is the last directory in DownloadApps in alphabetic ascending order.
   
5. Make a copy of the file registry.tx (in case you need to recover original file)
   
6. Edit the file registry.txt with a editor compatible with unix (eg wordpad). Do not use MS Word or Notepad! (Be sure the file has a line saying: Jar-URL: appname.jar - if not, you are in the wrong directory)
   
7. Change the values to these ones
   - DRM-Mode: Allowed
   - Is-Trusted: 1
   - Domain: Manufacturer
   so that it looks like the code below.
   
8. Save the file and disconnect from PC
   
9. The app should now be able to read and write files.
   
   **Below is an example..Text may vary depending on what application you are modifying **:
   

Jar-Path: /mmc/mmca1/.system/java/DownloadApps/MIDlet20006/Files/Minipauker.jar 
Jad-Path: /mmc/mmca1/.system/java/DownloadApps/MIDlet20006/Files/Minipauker.jad 
Perm-Path: /mmc/mmca1/.system/java/DownloadApps/MIDlet20006/permfile.txt 
Suite-Icon: /mmc/mmca1/.system/java/DownloadApps/MIDlet20006/Files/MIDlet-1.png 
DRM-Mode: Allowed 
Is-Trusted: 1 
Jar-URL: Minipauker.jar 
Description: 
Domain: Manufacturer 
Signer-Name: 
Mot-JavaVM-Heapsize: 0 
Delete-Notify: 
Num-MIDlets: 1 
MIDlet-1: j2mesync, /mmc/mmca1/.system/java/DownloadApps/MIDlet20006/Files/MIDlet-1.png, de.ohli.Minipauker.Minipauker.

After this the app should be able to read/write files correctly.

Alpha you need to explain alttle more because some of the procedures dont match up to the V8. There is no sd card and in downloadapps there is nothing. Im confused, you have to remember that this is new to some of us that are used to using p2k. Thanks

Would this procedure work with a number of different apps or just the 2 you have created? For example, I would love to have the gmail app (java) working on my phone and wonder if this procedure can be used to get it going...?

I fixed the write up. Now it should be easier for you guys. Remember you need to install the files first. Also fix your folder settings in windows to view hidden files.

Alpha,what folder are we copying the 2 files to? i dont have the option to install new.And when i go to sytsm/java/downloadapps/ there is nothing there. and where do i put the .systm folder that i downloaded? sorry buy im pretty confused right now.

[Alpha43]

Place whatever your trying to install in this case the two apps i posted in your phones memory. Do so by changing the phones usb connection to memory instead of modem mode.

After that place the two files to the root of the folder that will appear on your window's "My Computer" You will see an extra drive that acts like a removable drive. Just place those two folders then eject the drive. After you have done so attempt to install the files using the file manager. Finally go back and follow the instructions i put.

*Do not use another .system folder, every phone has one built in already*

Will these instructions only work with your 2 apps at this point?

No, this will work for any application that denies permission. This is the reason why i made this a sticky, its good to keep for future reference.

Ok i did all that and when i go into the program it tells me that application ran out of memory and has quit. ?

[HENRY8875]

Alpha, ive done every thing by the book and it is installed but says not enough memory, i even did a reset of the phone to make it stock again and reinstalled the apps and i get the same error. Any ideas?
