  • Security code retrival tool for u880

• Improved u880 support. Java installation is much faster. Java games can now be transfered from phone to PC.
• Fixed minor bugs in directory listing code which may have effected the u8360, and u880

Changes in version 1.6

Changes in version 1.5

• Folder support for phones that support folders, eg u8360, u8380, etc

• Fixed a bug that may have prevented some phones installing java games in v1.4.2
• Support for the u8380 is assumed to be the same as the u8360 in this release. U8380 users, please provide some feedback
• Overwriting games with the u8360 is functional but does not change the name of the game being overwritten. This is a non-issue since GThing creates RMS entries for the u8360 and overwriting is not required
• Ver.b has a fix so that older phones work properly again when installing java, a small nokia fix, updated libgthing, and a few potential crashes fixed.

Changes in version 1.4.2

• GThing is now aware of the hidden java RMS trick
• GThing now list the java games by a different method which should work on newer phones
• Sub directories are filtered out for newer phones while support for subdirectories is not finished

Changes in version 1.4.1

• Automatic connection and com port detection.
• Large directory support fixes
• Nokia emulator optimizations

Changes in version 1.4

• Games shown in the Java section with GThing will now display as a picture icon if the game cannot save or a movie icon if the game can save. Useful for choosing which games to overwrite to get save games working.
• Bug fixes for phones u8120 and newer
• Improved Nokia graphical transforms and new sound emulation implementation

• German Translation
• Accessing extra folders now possible, eg Animations, VoiceRecordings
• Renaming files now works correctly on the u8130 and newer
• Detection of u8150. Planned u8150 support not yet completed . Possible abandonment due to newer phones not using the u8150 protocol and lack of donations. If you would really like to see support for the u8150 then I suggest you try and organise enough donations to purchase a used u8150 that I can use to finish libgthing support for it.
