Hi, can you tell me how to install .sis files on W995, i can find them once transfered but it just says (send, copy and move). There is no option to install!!
Thanks in advance

Hi, as far as i know, you cannot install .sis files in Sony Ericsson dumb phones, since those files are not supported, because that extension is used in Symbian devices. IE: Nokia phones.
Please someone correct me if Im wrong.

There is no need to correct you
*jad and *jar files are what you want.

100% right.
.sis for symbian phones only.

Yes sis files for Symbian & as I once found out downloading Symbian sis files(themes) from a legit site corrupted my memory card a 16 gig one too

That can't be blamed on the *sis file.
Posted by Bonovox
What was it then??
Posted by hihihans
Bad luck?

No idea, but a .sis file wouldnt harm a phone that is not Symbian.

It was a Nokia 5230 I had

Ah, ok thanks for the replies guys, this might be a silly question but is there anyway i can convert it to java?
I am trying to install Helloox2 and also Garmin on a friends phone, i actually have a satio and all works great on mine!!.

no there is not.... as far as i know...!!
the .sis file is usually a compiled C++ program for the symbian OS.... converting an application means that you need to first be able to decompile it... and as you may know ... this step is something near impossible... unless you're an expert hacker!!!
of course it works on satio because it has the symbian OS in it...
and sn0wman... asking questions leads to learning something new... so it does not considered silly...!

No converting a Symbian installation file into a Java app is not possible. They're completely different.
@ Bonovox - heh, i doubt again it was the .sis file unless it was a virus pretending to be a proper app. More likely the firmware on the 5230 was dodgy. Possibly operator branded ?

Converting - no, but porting would be possible, if you have the source code to the .sis program and have pretty good skills on both C++ and Java and lots of spare time...

In theory its possible to port anything from one platform to another if you have the technical knowledge. But again, just not to put hope into sn0wman1's mind, its not going to happen.
