• YouTube for BlackBerry Storm

i get :
HTTP ERROR 400

n other pages load no problem...

also blocked in China... for now...

do i load CODs to my memory card...?
i tried via DM but only ALX files are readable...


:Eyecrazy:

Just bear with me for a couple I am trying to find out for sure.

Ok from what i found out just the .alx file needs to be installed.

But i still think it will not work because China blocks it.

can i just load CODs into memory card or via DM [or AppLoader...?]

For DM you require .alx files (and .cod files - with the .alx telling DM how to install the .cods to your BB); for the memory card you need .jad files (and .cod files - with the .jad telling your BB how to install the .cods to your BB).

So, if you make a full 3rd party apps backup with BBSAK, you can use it either way, since - besides copying all the required cod files into the backup folder of your PC - it creates a jad (for memory card) and an alx for DM in parallel.

Let me add: If you want to install from your memory card, make sure, that you copy the full backup folder of BBSAK onto it, since the COD files are required as well - then simply use the file manager (OS5) or the media folder application (former OS) to open the backup.jad on your card.

thnxs buddies... :hail:

da problem is... BBSAK wont allow me to input on da field "save as" therefore i can not create JAD file [let alone ALX]... :Eyecrazy:
no matter how i try... it just wont let me put anything in "save as" so prevents from allowing feature to be completed...

once that is cleared i can deal with JAD or ALX files...

any thoughts...?!?

What are yoy clicking that is asking you to save as?

Not sure, what you are trying to do here either. In the very first screen of BBSAK there is a button: Backup Apps - one click here and you should be done?!

Oh, I see. After you have selected your cods, filled in App Name, Version and so on, you have to press the "Save to" button to enter a JAD file name there - you cannot enter it directly into the "save as field". Once entered this way, press "Create JAD".

:duh: :crazy: for me...

thnxs 4da super tip buddy...

JAD created... loaded files to memory card...

and... i get this message when trying to run JAD
ERROR: invalid manifest or application descriptor
"MIDlet-Version" attribute is not a valid version number...

any clues...?!?

Uff, not an expert here, MIDlet-Version is typically the version number of the app - e.g. the RIM Twitter client would be 1.0.0.28, but I know from other apps, that it could also be this format 1.0.1 - have you entered some number in the field? Have you filled in something in all the four fields?

If nothing works you could also try the BlackBerry Master Control Program - it offers similar functions.
