Mini Commander 2.2

Simple file system explorer, in English, much like MOBY EXPLORER


BUT


This one will allow you to copy the games you buy to a folder where the files are not encrypted, allowing you to back them up to your computer (and share them with us :D).

Previous questions:

Q-Does this works with all mobiles?
A-I don't know, I just tested it in my SE k610i and it worked fine (you shall see in a while what I got :P), so I assume it's Sony Ericsson friendly (one catch though, I can't access the file system of the phone itself, only the memcard system folder, where the game to backup must be saved, so maybe this will work only on MemCard enabled mobiles)

Q-Do I have to patch/hack my mobile for this to work?
A-No, of course you'll have to endure the constant permission popups if you don't have your mobile pactched (I don't have it patched), you only have to say "yes" to the permission question.

Q-Are there any risks?
A-Not that I'm aware...

Q-How does it work?
A-On my k610i the memcard system folder (when I place it on the memcard reader or link the mobile through USB to my PC) is encrypted, not allowing to copy workable files.

But the mobile OS has to read the files, so everything is "unencrypted" so to speak.

What the program does is work out a way for you to read the data in the mentioned folder and save it in a non-encrypted file.

This is done by inserting the file in a .GIF container and then extracting it from that container... voilá... unencrypted file.

Tutorial

1.- Install the application.

2.- Buy a game.

3.- Make sure you have the game in the memcard.

4.- Run the application.

4.1- Allow all system access prompts as they appear (from now on, until the end).

5.- Using the joystick/thumbpad select the memcard drive (E: in my case)

5.1- Navigate your way to the SYSTEM Folder and afterwards to AMS Folder.

6.- Locate the game you bought (generally by the name) using the joystick/thumbpad.

6.1- While highlighting the ***.jar file press 0 (to select the file).

6.2- Press the right softkey.

7.-In the main menu select FILE.

7.1- Select TO GIF CONTAINER.

(remember to allow all system (read/write) access)

7.2- A GIF file has been created in the system folder (if everything went according to plan).

8.-Now exit the program (sometimes you have to hard-shutdown the program throught the multi-task button), remove your memcard and read it on your PC (I haven't tested with USB access but it might be the same)

8.1- Move the GIF file (it's in E:/System/Ams) to another folder (other than SYSTEM).

8.2- Remove the memcard from the PC and place it back in your mobile.

8.3- Run MiniCommander again.

9.- Navigate your way (as described above) to the folder where you placed the GIF file.

9.1- Highlight, select the GIF file with the 0 (zero) key (as described above).

9.2- Press the right softkey, select FILE MENU and now select FROM GIF CONTAINER.

(remember to allow all system (read/write) access)

9.3- You should now have the JAR file in that folder (if everything went according to plan)

10.- Exit the program and navigate your way (now in the inbuilt SE File Explorer) to the folder where you have both GIF and JAR files.

10.1- Sometimes you won't see the jar file, just exit the folder, get in again or press right on the joystick/thumbpad and then left (this will select the display mode of the files (from all content to in-phone content or to memcard content) and the file will be there.

11.- Send the file to your computer or to a friends mobile through bluetooth.

12.- Most important....POST THE GAME ON IPMART :D


Note: you should backup the JAD file as well, since some games have features (like multimedia/system access) that will only be fully workable if you have the jad file.

This might be a complicated way of getting the games, but it's the only one possible for those with newer mobiles (that are not accepted yet by FAR manager) that will work with all content providers (since the Opera trick does not work with providers that don't post a direct download link).

Looks like a good application. Will check it on my K550i and update the results. Thanks for sharing ...

It's a bug in the db2020 phones that lets you do this. You can also achieve the same thing wiht mobyexplorer (after removing the hidden attribute) as centuri (or somebody) found out.

You are absolutely right!!!

I never heard of such a thing, so when I found out that way I was amazed....using MobyExplorer is way simpler...thanks for the hint

Np :)

I think this also works on the W810 because of the java changes they made as well. (it asked if I wanted to replace my game instead of invalid file)

- centur
Open MobyExplorer > е:/ > mark System > Menu > Properties > unmark Hidden > Ок

From phone Menu > File manager > open folder System > Ams > search file name ( with Java icon ) > More > Manage file > Copy > Memory Stick > create New folder ( or in someone else ) > Open > Paste


Again open MobyExplorer > е:/ > Other > open New folder ( created before ) > mark file ( copyed before ) > Menu > Edit > Copy .... click Back button > Menu > Edit > Paste

Now you can Install again this application/game and send via Bluetooth ( via Infrared )


To "hide" folder System restart your phone or again open MobyExplorer > mark folder System > Menu > Properties > mark Hidden > Ок

@zendero

I'll know you will appreciate this one :D

It's called EQ Java Extractor. It scans your java directory on the memory stick and lets you copy the game you want; just by clicking on it. It copies to the other folder in the memory stick.

I tested it on my W810 as it has the same bug as teh K610 for java games.

But there is a simplest way to copy your games and/or apps from your cell phone, to your PC.
This program called MyPhoneExplorer.
You can download it from here for free, 'cause it's a freeware!
