My App Won't Install on My LG Rumor Touch and it says Memory Card Error-How to Fix the Failed JAD File

By


The Problem

In short: MY APP WON'T INSTALL

You may be one who has received an error message saying that "it [the app] cannot install from memory card".

Or

You may be one whose phone abruptly restarted after the "downloading" and "saving" phase of installation.

The goal of this hub is to help you fix this problem when it is the result of a JAD file problem. Its easy! I promise!

Assumptions

My Testers

Bad JAD Example

Bad JAD Script

To make sure that this was truely a "Bad JAD" I loaded it into the phone.

It caused my phone to abruptly restart after "downloading"/"saving".

The app had not really installed, as I noted by visiting the APPLICATIONS menu.

We must fix the BAD JAD!

Good JAD

Good JAD Script

*Don't Forget to SAVE Your Changes to the JAD File"

Of course, I tested this one too.

It worked exactly like it was supposed to.

I have tested over 100 apps in the last few days, and I can attest that many many apps that would not install with a BAD JAD did install with my fixed GOOD JAD.

@Iktomi, do you think that I could email you the files requesting some thing like "in landscape" or something ,please.

@danatheteacher if i email you the files do you think you could try please

@Jarreth, in my experience, if an app does not work after following install instructions and after trying to fix the JAD file, then usually, the app just plain will not work.

I'm not sure what you meant by support? - if there is true "support" staff for the app, then contact them maybe???

@ danatheteacher what should i do if it doesnt work and the file was designed by support directly for ln 510?

@Jarreth I will be creating a hub explaining in detail how to edit the Jads and Manifest files and how to install on phone, etc. But if your phone firmware is v8 then it's a no go. Gotta find a work around for v8. You can check what version by going to "Main Menu", "Settings", "Phone Info", "Version"

@danatheteacher you can edit the jad or jar, i cant remember which, to enable touchscreen. i did it with line rider

fyi i have made the same comment under NocturnLunacy in other hub comments.

@danatheteacher its awesome you created this hub. i got a rumor touch thru vm cuz i thought it was a smart phone which it was intended to be until virgin and sprint got ahold of em and made em retarded lol.

Anyway pointing out how the lines tend to become split and read as separate lines. but also the manifest and midlet versions need to be the same on both the jad and manifest files. Also the cldc needs to be 1.0 or 1.1 and the midlet profile needs to be 2.0 and the size needs to be 328x240. but i usually just delete the line for the size and that makes it auto instead of absolute. or just put MIDlet-Orientation=landscape. but all changes need to be changed in both the jad and manifest files.

Okay. I will keep trying then. Thank you! :)

@anna, yes, the other reason is that it just won't work. You can always try and remake the JAD file from the JAR using JADMaker, but if that too doesn't work, then there is something wrong with the app. Find another version or the same version on a different site. This is often what I do as a solution.

I tried to install several .jad files on my phone, but the error message "Installation from memory card to phone" always comes up. I tried editing the files in WordPad, but they were not bad JAD files. Is there any other reason for the error message?

It's wonderful. I made one app work by myself. Thanks for sharing

@Bob, no, you've hit on the other major problem, network connections. Apps have to want to connect, it seems, as http and through port 80 only. Not everything is set like that and/or can be. I have not got Snaptu to work nor have I found anyone who has yet.

Bob 21 months ago

Have you got snaptu to work it installs fine but Everytime I use it it saids connection failed

dkk 21 months ago

I tried those apps. This method works. Thanks a lot.

By the way, do you plan to try some IM apps, such as instango etc.

danatheteacher 21 months ago

See my other hubs @dkk. Look at the one on Installing Rumor Touch Apps. There is a link to it up above under "Assumptions"

dkk 21 months ago

How do you get those jar and jad files? I search for apps but can only download one file jad or jar.
