9210 Tips and Trick #1 and #2

[X-Shadow]

Hello 9210 Users,

Warning, these tricks may require expert knowledge<br />in basic file system of 9210. If you are not sure<br />what you are doing, please do not attempt to play<br />with your VERY EXPENSIVE PHONE! I am not liable<br />foe any damages or accidents that will occur by <br />following my tips below. You do this at your own<br />risk and disgretion. SO please, backup your data<br />first!

Here are 2 very useful tips that will make your<br />9210 a better phone <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Tip # 1: Java-applet Enabled Browsers<br />The built-in 9210 Internet Browser is not capable<br />of viewing java-appletpages <img src="frown.gif" border="0"> But you can easily <br />enable is by adding the Web folder below to<br />x:\system\apps

Download Web folder from:<br /><a href="http://users.anytimenow.com/sid67b/web9210.zip" target="_blank">http://users.anytimenow.com/sid67b/web9210.zip</a>

After putting the Web folder in your phone's<br />file system, will be able run java applets <br />separately from the web pages! Sometimes you<br />need to reboot your phone and delete web.ini<br />file found at x:\system\apps\web\ directory<br />in order for the java applets to run. You have <br />to delete web.ini after every reboot so that<br />java applets will still run by default. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Note that not all applets are runable using the<br />9210 because some applets need too big memory or<br />the display area of the 9210 is not enough for it.<br />Sometimes the lack of a mouse will also render<br />the applets unusable <img src="frown.gif" border="0"> Anyway, I found a guitar<br />tuner applets that works 100% with the 9210!<br />Download it here:<br /><a href="http://users.anytimenow.com/sid67b/9210guitar.zip" target="_blank">http://users.anytimenow.com/sid67b/9210guitar.zip</a><br />The controls are Tab to change the string number<br />and the cursor keys to make the string sound.

To close the java applets that are running, you<br />need the Switcher program which you can download<br />at <a href="http://www.my-communicator.com/9210/index_eng.htm" target="_blank">http://www.my-communicator.com/9210/index_eng.htm</a> ...

Java applets takes about 500k+ of memory to run,<br />so don't expect to run 2 java applets at the<br />same time because your system will surely hang!

<br />Tip # 2: Changing the side panel graphics.<br />The 9210 has only 5 basic side panel patterns:<br />Plain + Wheels + Sand + Water + Leaves.<br />If you want to change this manually, you have to<br />make a bitmap file with a resolution of 130 X 200.<br />Save that file into a jpeg and send it to your<br />phone's x:\documents. Now open the file using <br />your phone and choose 'Save as...' and then use<br />the filename 'display.mbm' (it is important to <br />put the .mbm file extension). Before setting up <br />the side panel to your new personal graphics, you<br />must set it up at Control Panel to 'Wheels' or<br />else your personal graphics will not be displayed.<br />Restart you phone, and then go to <br />x:\system\data<br />You will see a file there named display.mbm, <br />rename this file into displayback.mbm. Now copy <br />your graphics which you named display.mbm earlier<br />into this folder. Then restart your phone. Now<br />your new graphics will be shown <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> Do not attempt<br />to change the graphics using Control Panel options<br />into Sand, Water or anything else, you must leave<br />this settings to 'Wheels'. If you wish to restore<br />your old side panel graphics, delete your <br />display.mbm and rename your old displayback.mbm<br />to display.mbm and restart you phone <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Trick your friends into believing that your 9210<br />has Windows 98 installed in it.
