Java Shortcuts

Hi all,

is it possible to put a shortcut to a Java app on your menu?

For example I have some Java games when I go into apps, but id rather have an icon for each in games. Maybe there is a way of making a shortcut?

Great idea! Even though you can do most things with the joystick & softkeys, there are far too many "keystrokes" needed to get to the command you want. I'd happily pay for it.

That said - Nokia should include it as a utility in a FW update???

move your entire apps folder to the games folder! 😉

Essentially a small C++ app is needed that will open the APPS program (ie the MIDP enviroment) and run the selected program in the background.

That way all the users see's is select icon (as normal) and app opens.

What the OS sees is the MIDP envriiroment being opened, the app seleceted, and the app runs in it's sandbox.

Any takers?
