Jbed - An Application That Lets You Run Java Apps On Your Android Smartphone

Jbed is an android application that helps android smartphone users use/run java J2ME based applications on their android powered smartphones. So, if you have got an Android Smartphone and want to run your favorite java apps from your old Nokia phone then this is the perfect app for you. Since, android doesn't have direct support for java based (jar) applications or games this app acts as an interface between java apps and android system and helps you run J2ME games and apps on your android smartphone.

So, without any delay grab the apk file from below and install it on your android powered smartphone. Also, if you are comfortable with flashable zip then you can download it and flash it in your recovery (press home + power button to go to recovery).

• Download Jbed.zip :  Flashable via Recovery Mod.
• Jbed.apk : Install it using ADB or manually.

Here are some screenshots of Jbed app on my Samsung Galaxy Pop GT-S5570 running Cyanogen Mod 7 on it.

After I flashed Jbed.zip in CWM recovery you can see I got Java app on my App Drawer.

Thesaurus app running with the help of Jbed. Please note that due to lack of keypad this wasn't working fully on my touchscreen smartphone.

I swyped this text on my touchscreen based android smartphone in a VML Editor Java app (Midlet) that was also for Nokia phone.

So, now that you have got the app required to play java games/apps on your smartphone make sure you get yourself some jar files. You can download some from below sites or find yourself some other site that works well. Also, note that Jbed will show you fuzzy screen when you run java midlets in portriat mode. So, make sure you run all Java apps (or J2ME Midlets) in Landscape mode for clear display.
