Downloading & Installing Java Files.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Java files can be a bit tricky at times. Most of the time, after you have downloaded and saved the java file on your pc, windows tend to change the icon & extension of the file into a .zip.
And this will led to those not familiar with this issue to extract the file. Once that is done, you will see a lot of folders and files. This is not the right way but ofcourse theres a way to get around this. Heres what you should do instead;
First, on your PCs, launch Windows Explorer and then select
Tools>Folder Options>View and uncheck the Hide extensions for known file type.
Now only can you see the full extension of a file and change the .zip into .jar and send it to your phone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Increase Your MMC Space.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your files in MMC are stored in multiple (disk) blocks.
So if you format using 16K block, the space used will be 16K eventhough your file is just 1K.
If you buy MMC, it is usually preformatted with 16K block. Therefore alot of space is wasted as most installed program files are usually less than 2K.
You will need a card reader to do this:-
1. Connect card reader and copy all your files in the MMC to computer disk. (Make sure you set the show all/hidden/os files to "on")
2. Do a format of the MMC using command line "format" and use the /A=size option.
Alternative, you can use the Disk Management in Adminstrative Tools to format. Make sure you select FAT. For 256MB MMC, smallest block you can use is 4K, 128MB is 2K, 64Mb is 1K and 32MB is 512B.
(Note: You cannot use the phone "format MMC" to do this as the format just clear the allocation table and does not change the block size)
3. Copy back all files to MMC.
Now you will find that you will have more space.
256mb MMC got back 30+ mbs

If you store your messages in phone memory, there are in c:\system\mail\...
If you store your messages in MMC, there are in e:\system\mail\...
Files in inbox are in folders like "*_F "
For example: E:\system\mail\00001001_S\0\00100c60_F\ (file)
or E:\system\mail\00001001_S\1\00100bc1_F\ (file)

You can use FExplorer (any jpeg/bmp, no resize), seleQ (any image, it will resize it) --> select the image you want be operator logo, select options-file-set as operator logo.
You can make your own logo:
The operator logos have the following format:
COUNTRYCODE_NETWORKCODE_SUBNETCODE.BMP
For example, for India:
Airtel : 404 10 -> 404_10_0.BMP
Tata: 404 07 -> 404_7_0.BMP
For the Entire List - Lookhere: http://kbs.cs.tu-berlin.de/~jutta/gsm/gsm-list.html
The size for bmp is 97 x 25 pixels.
Also, you can store diferent logos for diferent operators. For example if you change your SIM to other operator, you will see the other logo, or if you travel to other countries, you can store diferent logos for the operators in this countries.
Just ignore the first "0" in network code if any.
If you want to delete the logo to restore the original (name of the operator) just delete the bmp file from c:\system\apps\phone\oplogo.
