Ok well i've been messing around with BitPim with my phone, and I'm trying to

The first thing you need to do is run from source.  You will also need to
be able to understand hex views and figure out where fields beging an
end.  Try getting the analyser working while accessing the filesystem.

Ok well i'll try to figure out how to run the source I guess.
First thing I guess is to figure out how to use the cvs system... been so long... anyway...

Did you use BitPim to write to the phone at some point?  The index file
should not exist on your phone.  If you lie to BitPim about the phone
model, it will quite happily scribble all over your phone's filesystem.
The phone won't care about those files.

No I didn't use it to write, i blocked writing so that I wouldn't screw up my phone :P mainly cause of the model different :P Could perhaps someone who has done this figuring the Hex stuff out, please write some kind of tutorial? I'm sure that you would have an assload of submissions by people who have the phone, have the software, and could just "count the hex and find out where fields end." and then submit it to some kind of repository of knowledge. I personally would do it with every unsupported Telus phone if I knew *how* :P

This is the layout used by LG J2ME phones and BitPim already has code to
handle it.  However you will need to work out the field sizes etc.

We don't deal with games in BitPim.

Roger

uhm, please do?
The biggest pain the ass on Telus is the fact that you CANNOT transfer games from phone to phone, you CANNOT load them from other places. you MUST either purchase a trial, purchase the game or not play games at all. It's the biggest f-up that Telus has done. NO NEW PHONES come with games built in on the PCS side. They're jad games but not really. There is a .jad file, but the .owa is the actual game itself... if I could figure out how it works, how to write python, etc. then maybe I'll add this functionality for Telus phones. Cause as I have stated, it is a big f-ing pain in the ass not to mention expensive, to play games on your cellphone. (For Example: the Tron 2.0 light bike game costs $4.00 + $0.50 download fee + Airtime to get = Approx. $9.00 on your bill) all for a stupid game that is available elsewhere, but Telus is making you pay for it... grrr...
