Why so serious?

Basically, here's how it goes down.
This is a lil' tutorial on how to remove the dpad at the bottom of apps and make them fullscreen
It's all trial and error; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Necessary items:
  • .jar or .jad file of app/game you want to hack
  • winrar

IF YOU ARE WORKING WITH A .jar FILE
Step 1: Locate file and right click
Step 2: Hover mouse over Open With and select WinRAR Archiver
Step 3: Open the folder META-INF or something of the like
Step 4: Open up the document MANIFEST.MF
Step 5: Add this code (it doesn't matter where)
  • MIDlet-Touch-Support: True
    UseNativeTextButtons: false
    ReverseSoftkeys: true
    UseNativeCommands: false
    LGE-MIDlet-TargetLCD-Height: 320
    LGE-MIDlet-TargetLCD-Width: 240
Step 6: Save and close
Step 7: Test to see if it worked (i.e. send to your phone)

IF YOU ARE WORKING WITH A .jad FILE
Step 1: Open file with Notepad
Step 2: Add aforementioned code
Step 3: Save and close
Step 4: Test results

That's it guys.
As far as my experience goes, I haven't been able to stretch out a game's resolution but I believe it does work on apps (as evident with Opera Mini)
Usually with games, it just removes the dpad but you are left with a blank spot where the dpad should be.

So yea, go out there and have fun  Smiley

So, changing
LGE-MIDlet-TargetLCD-Height: 320
to
LGE-MIDlet-TargetLCD-Height: 400
won't stretch the application?

EDIT: No it won't.

I open the jar files with winrar and navigate to the manifest.mf file and click on it. It opens with notepad and I make my changes then go up to file and hit save. Winrar then asks if i want to save the new changes and thats it.

you said it works in games but in games it just removes the dpad and leaves a black spot.
