LF File Brower Code?

There is file browser code in the PDAPdemo applet in the Sprint wireless toolkit.  Remember file browsing uses JSR 75 so you will need a signed app or an "unlocked" phone to run it.

I was hoping to get a certificate with the proceeds of donations, which I could then use to sign open-source (and maybe free) apps that use the file browser, calendar interface, media interface, GPS etc.  Unfortunately I'm only 3% of the way there.

It's $500.

How do you unlock the phone?

Well, I don't want to make promises I can't keep, so until I've done some experimenting with the developer certificate, I wasn't going to say much. 

The day will come (hopefully in our phone's lifetime) when the LCDUI fix is released, people start downloading MIDlets, and find out that they can't run them due to the "909" error because they used protected APIs.  Hopefully by then I'll know enough to be sure what I can and can't fix.

We're not exactly on topic either      At some point I'll make a new post either here or in third-party apps discussing what can and can't be done without signing.

As far as "unlocking", maybe that was a bad choice of words, but if you search for _policy.txt, you will find info on how to let "any" app run.  That could be a dangerous thing to do, and Sprint could disable it at any time.

After "L-Day" (LCDUI fix day) there should be some.  Until then, only existing apps that are touch-aware and don't need a keyboard - which is a very limited set - or those that are written or hacked to use SIWL.

L-Day - I want to copyright that.
