hi all...
i cant find any j2me (Java 2 Mobile Edition) cracking tutorial here...
anyone can help me? i mean the tools requirements, etc...
just the general steps...
although step by step is better...

coz i can decompile a .class file back to the source code...
i know i can find something useful there (such as hardcoded serial number, or serial number generation algorithm)
but i dont know how to compile it back to .Jar and make it work on the phone...
i don't know Java programming...

if anyone can help regarding this problem... please share...
tutorial links would be great too...
i really appreciate it...:)

and btw... it's not just for cracking purpose...
it's useful to translate a game/app in made in foreign language...
coz lots of high quality games/apps on the net written in other language than english... :(
and i know i must recompile it back to make it work...

sorry... please excuse my broken English...

Thanks before...

Sorry for refreshing the topic, but I have got a question...

I was playing Leisure Suit Larry on my mobile when I thought about making a localized version into polish (czesc, Krzysztof ;)) so that more people can enjoy Larry's adventure and his humour (LSL7 for PC was really appreciated by many people in Poland due its perfect localization).

I extracted the .jar file using WinRar and found language files in .dat format. I can open then with Notepad and change words inside. The problem is, when I try to compile all the files back to .jar (using JarBuilder), they don't open (using Kwyshell MidpX emulator). This occurs only when I change something within the files; if they remain unchanged, the game starts normal. I thought the game checks its size - but even if I only change the letters in english.dat (for example New game -> Nwe Geam), it doesn't solve the problem.

What am I doing wrong? Perhaps everything, and should do it in a complete different way? Thanks in advance

Hmm..this is an old post but the topic is not..abt 4-3 years after this post i've found some neat tools ranging from class translator to reverse engineering for purpose to be run on phone..i've made some tutorial on these but based on a java pc reversing tutorial..
