Before building OpenTTY, ensure you have:

  • J2ME SDK Mobile installed on your target device
  • OpenTTY source code (the complete repository)
  • Java-enabled mobile device with adequate storage
  • Basic file management app to navigate directories

🛠️ Build Process

📥 Step 1: Download SDK

  1. Download SDK.jar to your mobile device
  2. Transfer the file to your device's main storage or SD card

📁 Step 2: Access Repository

  1. Open your file manager and navigate to the OpenTTY repository folder
  2. Ensure all Java source files and resources are present

🔨 Step 3: Compile with SDK

  1. Launch SDK.jar on your device
  2. Browse to the OpenTTY repository directory using the SDK's file browser
  3. Press the Build button (identified by a hammer icon 🛠️)
  4. Wait for the compilation process to complete

📦 Output Files

After successful compilation, check the dist/ folder for:

  • OpenTTY.jar - Main executable application file
  • OpenTTY.jad - Java application descriptor file

📲 Installation

🎯 Method 1: Direct Installation

  1. Locate OpenTTY.jar in the dist/ directory
  2. Execute/Open the JAR file
  3. Follow your device's installation prompts
