How to resize java games and play it in fullscreen on your cell
October 17th, 2009You may be wondering, how to play those java games which are either very big or small for your mobile phone’s screen resolution. We happily present you a simple hack and tweak to re-size according to your cell screen resolution.
Say you have downloaded pinball.jar in your computer. Now all you have to do is extract it with 7zip, win-Rar or any file extractor. Now in the extracted folder, go to MANIFEST folder and extract the MANIFEST.mf file (every java file contains manifest folder and file).
Open MANIFEST.mf file with notepad. Copy and paste the following code:
Nokia-MIDlet-Original-Display-Size:123,456
Nokia-MIDlet-Target-Display-Size:456,123
In the Nokia-MIDlet-Original-Display-Size: enter the java game’s original resolution. And in the Nokia-MIDlet-Target-Display-Size: enter the desired screen rezolution that you want
For example:
In Nokia N82 it’s 176×208 resolution:
Nokia-MIDlet-Original-Display-Size: 176,208
Nokia-MIDlet-Target-Display-Size: 240,320
for Nokia N95 with 176×208 rez:
Nokia-MIDlet-Original-Display-Size: 176,208
Nokia-MIDlet-Target-Display-Size: 352,416
Now Go to the same jar game and open it again with winrar go to MANIFEST folder then delete MANIFEST.mf file and then add the MANIFEST.mf to the archive in the same folder. And then you are done. Now move the game to your mobile phone and enjoy.
10 Tips to speak english well
October 1st, 2009- Observe the mouth movements of those who speak English well and try to imitate them
When you are watching television, observe the mouth movements of the speakers. Repeat what they are saying, while imitating the intonation and rhythm of their speech. - Until you learn the correct intonation and rhythm of English, slow your speech down
If you speak too quickly, and with the wrong intonation and rhythm, native speakers will have a hard time understanding you.
Don’t worry about your listener getting impatient with your slow speech — it is more important that everything you say be understood. - Listen to the ‘music’ of English
Do not use the ‘music’ of your native language when you speak English. Each language has its own way of ’singing’. - Use the dictionary
Try and familiarise yourself with the phonetic symbols of your dictionary. Look up the correct pronunciation of words that are hard for you to say. - Prepare a list of frequently used words
Make a list of frequently used words that you find difficult to pronounce and ask someone who speaks the language well to pronounce them for you.Record these words, listen to them and practice saying them. Listen and read at the same time. - Buy books on tape
Record yourself reading some sections of the book. Compare the sound of your English with that of the person reading the book on the tape. - Pronounce the ending of each word
Pay special attention to ‘S’ and ‘ED’ endings. This will help you strengthen the mouth muscles that you use when you speak English. - Read aloud in English for 15-20 minutes every day
Research has shown it takes about three months of daily practice to develop strong mouth muscles for speaking a new language. - Record your own voice and listen for pronunciation mistakes
Many people hate to hear the sound of their voice and avoid listening to themselves speak. However, this is a very important exercise because doing it will help you become conscious of the mistakes you are making. - Be patient
You can change the way you speak but it won’t happen overnight. People often expect instant results and give up too soon. You can change the way you sound if you are willing to put some effort into it.
