Installing games on the LG KG800 Chocolate phone

ryan · #1 (**permalink**) 31st July 2006, 07:27 PM

Java games can be installed on the LG KG800 chocolate phone using:

* GThing
* DirectWebInstall
* GThing Junction
* The software that came with your phone (LG Contents Bank)

In order to use LG Contents Bank to upload games you must follow these steps:
edit config.ini on the LG Contents Bank directory to change
EXIST_JAVA=N
to
EXIST_JAVA=Y

Next, you must copy a jar and jad file containing the game you want to upload into a sub folder in the Contents Bank directory called "Contents\Java"

You MUST edit the jad file with notepad or similar text editor to add this line of text to the end of the file:

MIDletX-LG-Contents: KG800

You should then use LG Contents Bank to upload the game you have placed in the correct directory.

Good Luck with that!

Ryan.

Hi Joanne,

Welcome to the game-thing.com forums.

I have attached a series of pictures to show which files need to be edited, where the games need to be put so they can be installed, and what needs to go into the JAD file.

If that fails, try Junction, its probably easier and provides more functionality.

pls help me.

ryan · #6 (**permalink**) 7th December 2006, 05:02 PM

Make sure you add:
MIDletX-LG-Contents: KG800
to the JAD file if you are using the "LG Contents Bank" method otherwise you phone will not think the game is from LG.

All other listed methods don't need this step.

If MODEL_NAME= in config.ini is not set to KG800 edit the line to have

MODEL_NAME=KG800

Thanks,it's worked

Hi, when I click connect in contents bank, it first lets me select port and baud rate, I choose LG USB cable (com3) and 115200, and then nothing happens, and then I click connect again and it says "Initializing.. please wait". Can some one please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

eddie1687 · #10 (**permalink**) 21st December 2006, 02:33 AM

ok I got it to work, i didn't know I had to turn on the modem, but now when i run the game it says: The MIDlet could not be instantiated: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
please help

ryan · #11 (**permalink**) 28th December 2006, 12:23 AM

that java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError would probably be because the game or application you are trying is using some feature your phone doesn't have. Most of the time this is caused by trying to run a Nokia game.

Installing with junction can fix this since it installs a nokia emulator when needed.

Hi Ryan thank you for the help u gave i have done evry thing you said i only have one more problem!!! when i want to transfer i to my phone and i pres conect in the lg contents bank it gives me a window short after with the text time out and then nothing happens. the pc does manage to se the phone when i conect it i can transfer from the usb memory the phone have. i just cant do it from the lg content bank. what do i dOOOOOOOO

ryan · #13 (**permalink**) 29th December 2006, 12:03 AM

Hi tariq

if you havent already done so, put your phone into modem mode before plugging it in. Modem mode can be turned on in the connectivity section on your mobile.

if your phone is not in modem mode when you plug it in then the computer will treat your phone like a memory stick and contents bank will not work.

ackman · #14 (**permalink**) 3rd January 2007, 04:26 AM

hi i have a kg800 chocolate, but i can't install java games. if i try with the content bank, it sais "Initializing... please wait" also if my phone is in the modem mode. if i try with junction it sais "Junction Error: Required information missing (IMEI, Phone Model) Please try again", and with gthingtest there is the same error message. what can i do?
There is the log, if it can help you
ps. sorry for my bad english, I'm Italian
Thank you

ryan · #15 (**permalink**) 3rd January 2007, 04:12 PM

Hi ackman,

Looks like you phone just doesn't want to respond, its giving an error for a very basic command given to it.

Have you tried turning your phone off and on again? Try removing the battery and reinserting it.

ackman · #16 (**permalink**) 6th January 2007, 08:18 AM

Hi ryan,
I tried turning my phone off and on again and i also tried removing the battery and reinserting it, but nothing changed. i have the same problems and the file log is the same. what can i do? where could be the problem?

The game probably tries to use some feature your mobile doesn't support.

Quite a few games are designed for Nokia phones and will only work with Nokia Emulation available in junction and GThing

Its also possible that the game/application uses some feature that cannot be emulated such as bluetooth access.
