Make V360 an iPod Shuffle

Turn V360 into iPod Shuffle with flip closed

With YuetMod v1.5, you can turn your V360 into an iPod shuffle. However, we use the motorola sound player in the multimedia menu, instead of iTunes. Basically we can achieve all the functions of an iPod Shuffle, except the function of playing Podcast.

What is an iPod Shuffle?
iPod Shuffle is a music player with wired headset, but without a screen. It plays songs randomly. You can use the buttons on the player to skip song, stop playing and pause & resume playing. Of course you can also adjust volume.

What's the setup?
1. copy songs to /b/mobile/audio to the TF card via USB or bluetooth;
2. create a playlist for all the songs;
3. select the playlist, press "Menu" then select "Sound Setup". Set "Auto Repeat" and "Shuffle" On.
4. plug your wired headset into the V360.

How to play?
1. press the Smart key a few times to enter Shortcuts menu, then select Sound.
2. select the playlist, then press Smart key again to play it. The outer LCD will show a blank screen, but it is better than iPod Shuffle, which doesn't even have a screen. I call this blank screen "the sound player screen".
3. in the sound player screen, press Volume up/down keys to adjust volume.
4. in the sound player screen, press & hold Voice key to stop playing.
5. press the button of the wired headset to skip current song and jump to the next song,
6. in the sound player screen, press the Smart key will hide the sound player and go to the Shortcuts screen; press & hold the Voice key will go to the home screen, in which the date & time is shown.
7. If you don't have any voice name in your phonbook, you can pause/resume playing. Go to the home screen, press Voice key to pause playing. Press & hold Voice key will resume playing.

This is the function of my V360 that I use most often. Enjoy it!

V360 and iSync on Mac

How to make V360 work with iSync on Mac?

Lastest version of iSync should support V360 natively. However, if you are still using older version of iSync, you may not find V360 in the list of iSync-supported phones, although it can actually work well with V360. There is a way to make iSync recognize V360. What you need to do is to add a key for V360 in iSync's MetaClasses.plist file. The file is located in Contents/Plugins/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/Plugins/
PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources in the package contents of iSync. To show package contents, Ctrl+Click the iSync icon and select "Show Package Contents". To add the key for V360, simply insert the following text into the file.(Please replace all "[" with "<" and all "]" with ">".)

Best setup for flip-close operation v2

Best setup for flip-close operation Version 2

jizzmoto33@momo told me that I can replace the Voice key with headset key, then I come up with this Version 2 of setup for flip-close operation. This setup is applied in YuetMod v1.5 MP. (It should be able to apply for other clam-shell moto P2K phones.)

Refer to Version 1.

Version 2 Pros & cons: comparing to version 1
Pros:
1. can make speakerphone call.
2. can pause music playing.
3. can jump to next song.
4. avoid accidental power-off
Cons:
1. can't power off the phone when flip closed.
2. not as easy of use as version 1. Have to "press & hold" voice key, instead of "press".
3. can't stop alarm when phone is on.
4. can't stop music playing when sound player is hidden (home screen).

What you can do?
1. Call out using speakerphone
2. stop alarm sound when phone is off
3. stop/pause playing music
4. reject phone call
5. play music, adjust volume and jump to next song
6. enable/disable alarm
7. browse recent calls
8. browse phonebook
9. change personalise setting
10. view storage devices
11. change ring style
12. change usb setting
13. on/off bluetooth
(probably more ...)

Configuration
1. Map the keys as follows:
browser key = smart key
camera key = voice key
smart key = fire key
voice key = wired headset key
wired headset key = right key
2. Set "Setting->Headset->Voice call" on. Set "Setting->In-call setup->Answer option->multikey" on.
3. Update mma file to put Shortcuts at the 5th item of the first level of the menu.
4. Create shortcuts for those functions that can be shown on the outer LCD.
My shortcuts:
1.sound
2.alarmclock
3.recent calls
4.phonebook
5.itunes
6.personalize
7.storage devices
8.loud ring style
9.soft ring style
10.vibrate
11.vibrate & ring
12.vibrate then ring
13.silent
14.USB setting
15.On bluetooth
16.Off bluetooth

How to operate?
1. press the smart key two or three times, depends on whether your phone is in standby mode or not.
2. shortcuts menu is shown on the outer LCD. press volume up/down keys to select the item in the menu, then press smart key. Using the smart key, you can play music, enable/disable alarm, etc.
3. if you want to go back to select other items, press & hold the voice key, then repeat steps 1 & 2.
4. to stop alarm/reject call, press & hold the voice key.
5. When you are in the sound player screen, you can use volume keys to adjust volume, press & hold the voice key to stop playing music.
6. If you do not store any voice name in phonebook and wired headset is connected, you can pause/resume music playing. When you are in the home screen (hide sound player), press Voice key to pause music, and press Voice key again to resume.
7. When your wired headset is connected, you can use the headset button to jump to next song.
8. To make speakerphone call, go to phonebook, select the name then press voice key. Once the call is connected, press the smart key to activate speakerphone.
(Note: always press & hold the "Voice Key" to return to home screen before opening the flip, otherwise it may cause the phone to reboot. In sound screen, in order not to stop playing, press the smart key then press & hold the voice key will bring you to the home screen.)

How to achieve it?
The best & simplest way is to flash to my YuetMod v1.5 MP.
Or
1. Use P2KMenuEditor to map the keys, or simply Hex edit the 005B-0001 SEEM. Read V360 SEEM 005B-0001 key map for more info
2. Use Hex Editor to update mma file. It is hard to explain how to update. The easiest way is to download my mma file. My mma file will also give you 3x4 icons.

mma hacks

Hacks of mma_ucp / mma_dcp The menu files of motorola p2k phone

I am not the one who found out the details of these mma hacks. I don't know who it is. I sucessfully edit the mma files of V360 based on this hacks.

Update on 15 April 2007: added mma hacks for newer phone. Record lenght in mma of newer phones (such as V360/L7/K1) is 36 bytes, while the record lenght in older phones (such as E398) is 22 bytes.

Now open the mma_ucp file using a Hex editor, and read the followings to understand what are those values in the mma file.

WARNING: Putting an incorrect mma file in your phone can turn it into black screen and force you to flash your phone, so edit it carefully and do it at your own risks.

In the mma_ucp/mma_dcp file, the first 10 offsets are the header. The menu item record starts from 0x0A offset. The first item is "Root", the second is "Container", then follow by 7 root items (home key items). After that is the "MenuRoot" item, follow by all other menu items.

mma hacks for older phones (22-byte record length)

Each record is composed of 7 items starting at offset 0x000A. The length of each record is 22 bytes. The attributes of a record are as follows starting follows: (Unless specified, each item is 1 byte in length)

[has child items] (boolean; will be a 1 when there is a child item)
[parent item's index] (everything except root has one)
[next item's index] (will be FF if this record is the last item in list)
[child item's index] (will be FF if there are no children)
[NULL]
[lock status] (determines if an item/application is lockable and it's state; see Settings > Security > Lock Application)
[item ID] (the string identifying the menu item, 16 bytes)

Address 0x02 = Number of menu items in hexadecimal. This will need to be increased to add menu items.

Here are the details:

Address 0x16 * index + 0x0A = [has child items]; Also the start of this item's attributes; 01 indicates this item has sub items; 00 indicates it's just a regular item.
Address 0x16 * index + 0x0B = [parent item's index] (self explanatory)
Address 0x16 * index + 0x0C = [next item's index]; If value is FF then there is no next item; end of list for this menu; works like a linked list.
Address 0x16 * index + 0x0D = [child item's index]; If this is not FF, this is a menu as well.
Address 0x16 * index + 0x0E = Null (don't touch)
Address 0x16 * index + 0x0F = Menu Type; this may be a bit flag... Values I've see are as follows:
* Value of 00 is seen on hidden items not shown (shouldn't mess with this one)
* Value of 01 means lockable but value was not set (might be an invalid value; showed blank in Lock Apps)
* Value of 21 means locked
* Value of 40 means not lockable (item is not seen in security > lock apps)
* Value of 41 means unlocked
* Value of 61 means view only (Option available for phonebook)
* My GUESS is that bit 0 is the one that determines if the item is shown in the Lock Apps screen. Bit 5 means locked, bit 6 means unlocked and bits 5 and 6 both on means that it's kinda locked (view only).
Address 0x16 * index + 0x10 to 0x1F = This is the string ID for the menu item.


mma hacks for newer phones (36-byte record length)

Each record is composed of 10 items starting at offset 0x000A. The length of each record is 36 bytes. The attributes of a record are as follows starting follows: (Unless specified, each item is 1 byte in length)

[has child items] (boolean; will be a 1 when there is a child item)
[parent item's index] (everything except root has one)
[next item's index] (will be FF if this record is the last item in list)
[child item's index] (will be FF if there are no children)
[NULL]
[lock status] (determines if an item/application is lockable and it's state; see Settings > Security > Lock Application)
[item ID] (the string identifying the menu item, 25 bytes)
[whether it is home key item] (CC = home key items, and CD = all other menu items.)
[offset of customised function] (2 bytes, only meaningful when 10th item is not "00 00")
[length of the customised function] (2 bytes)

Address 0x02 = Number of menu items in hexadecimal. This will need to be increased to add menu items.

Details:

The first 1-7th items are same as those in older phones, except the length of the 7th item.
Address 0x24 * index + 0x0A = [has child items]; Also the start of this item's attributes; 01 indicates this item has sub items; 00 indicates it's just a regular item.
Address 0x24 * index + 0x0B = [parent item's index] (self explanatory)
Address 0x24 * index + 0x0C = [next item's index]; If value is FF then there is no next item; end of list for this menu; works like a linked list.
Address 0x24 * index + 0x0D = [child item's index]; If this is not FF, this is a menu as well.
Address 0x24 * index + 0x0E = Null (don't touch)
Address 0x24 * index + 0x0F = Menu Type; this may be a bit flag... Values I've see are as follows:
* Value of 00 is seen on hidden items not shown (shouldn't mess with this one)
* Value of 01 means lockable but value was not set (might be an invalid value; showed blank in Lock Apps)
* Value of 21 means locked
* Value of 40 means not lockable (item is not seen in security > lock apps)
* Value of 41 means unlocked
* Value of 61 means view only (Option available for phonebook)
* My GUESS is that bit 0 is the one that determines if the item is shown in the Lock Apps screen. Bit 5 means locked, bit 6 means unlocked and bits 5 and 6 both on means that it's kinda locked (view only).
Address 0x24 * index + 0x10 to 0x28 = This is the string ID for the menu item.
Address 0x24 * index + 0x29 = [whether it is home key item] (CC = home key items, and CD = all other menu items.)
Address 0x24 * index + 0x2A to 0x2B = [offset of customised function]
Address 0x24 * index + 0x2C to 0x2D = [Hex length of the customised function]
* The offset of first customised function starts at the end of the last menu record. the 9th item is only meaningful if 10th item is not '00 00'. In other words, if the 10th item is '00 00', you can give the 9th item any value without affecting the mma_ucp's function in any way. for the first special function, 9th item is always 00 00 and 10th item is hex length of first function. for the second special function, 9th item is the ending offset for first function. if you have no special settings for a record, just make sure 10th item is 00 00. Customised function can be used to create branded icons/links/functions. The details of how to define such functions is not clear yet. You can, however, make special functions using p2k menu editor, and import the resulting functions created. p2k menu editor is currently limited to creating alternative icon names/images.

I know it is not easy to understand, but I don't know how to explain it further. I think the best way to explain is by questions & answers, so post your questions.

SEEM Edit Guide

SEEM Edit Guide for Motorola P2K mobile phone

This guide is made to answer questions, such as "How to seem edit?", "What is SEEM edit?", etc.

SEEM? I don't know why it called SEEM. In my words, SEEM is the memory area in the P2K phone that works as parameter table or data storage. With different parameters, the phone can behave differently, have different options, enable/disable some features, etc. SEEM is also used to store user data, such as SMS, Databook entries, phone information, call history, etc. There are many SEEMs and they are identified by SEEM ID. With P2K software, like P2K Tools, you can read the SEEM from the phone and update the SEEM back to phone. The SEEM is represented in HEX format in the SEEM editor. There are many customized SEEM edit software out there, but you can always Hex edit the SEEM file, when you fully understand how the SEEMs work.

The words you need to understand:

SEEM or SEEM ID: the id that identifies a particular SEEM, such as 0032-0001 and 004a-0001. The first 4 digit is the SEEM number, while the second 4 digit is the record. One SEEM number can have multiple records.

Offset: the address of the byte in the SEEM. one byte has 8 bits.

Bit: the 0-7 bits in the byte. usually each bit represents an option. we enable or disable the option by turning on or off the bit. "on" means "tick the bit" while "off" is "uncheck the bit".

Once you understand the above, doing seem edit is pretty easy. You need a SEEM editor software (P2K tools, Motokit, Moto4Lin and many others). Let's do it by examples. In example 1, we will edit an offset in the SEEM. In example 2, we will write a seem file to the phone. (It is recommended that you always save the SEEM to a SEEM file in your PC/Mac, before writing the SEEM to the phone.)

Example 1: edit seem

In this example, we want to enable usb charging, and we know that the seem for usb charging option is "SEEM 004a_0001 offset 0207 bit 0: (1 enable, 0 disable)". You can read [v360 seem list] to find out the seems for other options/functions.

Now let's start.

Here is a screenshot: [Screeshot of P2K Tools]

1. open p2k tools, click seem edit icon
2. in the Seem (num/rec) box, enter 004a and 0001, then click "load from phone"
3. find offset 0207, which is row 200 and column 07
4. select the offset, then enter "01" or uncheck 1-7 bits and check 0 bit using bit operations. (Hex value 01 represents binary value 00000001, FF will be 11111111. You can either update the hex value or update the bits. It is your choice. Sometimes bit operations is not possible, then you have to do Hex edit. For those SEEMs that store user data, you can only Hex edit it.)
5. click "save to phone" and restart the phone. It is done.

Example 2: upload seem file

In this example, we want to upload the 005B-0001 seem file to the phone. Here are the steps:

1. open p2k tools, click seem edit icon
2. in the Seem (num/rec) box, enter 005b and 0001, then click "load from file"
3. select the seem file and load it
4. click "save to phone" and restart the phone. It is done.

Obfuscate midlet jar files on Mac

How do I obfuscate my midlet jar files on Mac?

download proguard @ http://proguard.sourceforge.net/

install proguard and change the midlet.pro configuration file as follows:
# define library jars
-libraryjars /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/ CurrentJDK/Classes/classes.jar
-libraryjars /Developer/Java/mpp-sdk/midp.jar
-libraryjars /Developer/Java/mpp-sdk/cldc.jar
# do not use mixed case classnames
# -dontusemixedcaseclassnames

use the following shell script to obsuscate the jar file:

=============
#!/bin/sh
#Author: Yuet
mppdev="/Developer/Java/mpp-sdk"
proguard=${mppdev}/proguard/lib/proguard.jar
preverify=${mppdev}/osx/preverify/preverify
jarpath= "/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Classes/classes.jar"
classpath="${jarpath}:${mppdev}/cldc.jar:${mppdev}/midp.jar"
infile=$1
outfile="out-$1"
arg3="@${mppdev}/proguard/mymidlets.pro"
java -jar $proguard -dontusemixedcaseclassnames -injars $infile -outjars $outfile $arg3

unzip $outfile -d "temp-$infile"
$preverify -classpath $classpath -d "temp-$infile" "temp-$infile"
cd "temp-$infile"
zip -r ../jarsObfuscated/$infile *
cd ..

How to install java games & apps

How to install java games & apps on Motorola P2K mobile phones

There are a few ways to install java applications into Motorola P2K mobile phones, including E398, V360, L7, V3, etc.

Install via bluetooth
This is the simplest way, provided you have setup bluetooth connectivity between your phone and your PC/Mac. Mac has build-in support for bluetooth and it can support most of the Motorola phones. All you need to do is download the jar file from the internet to your PC/Mac, then send the jar file to your mobile phone via bluetooth. Your phone will recognize the jar file and install it automatically. Of course you have choice to install it in phone memory or TF card, if there is TF card in your phone. (Read how to set up bluetooth mobile phone on mac, if you haven't set up your phone yet.)

Using Java App Loader & Midway, via USB cable
1. You need to enable the "Java App Loader" function in Java Setting. It can be enabled by editing the following seem:
SEEM 0032-0001: offset 43 - bit 0: Settings > Java Settings > Java App Loader (1 on, 0 off)
(It is enabled if you are using my MP. Read my SEEM edit guide if not sure how to edit the SEEM.)
2. Get the software "Midway", which you can get from Motorola's website. Install it. (It is for PC only)
3. Now go to Java Setting in your phone and select "Java App Loader".
4. Connect your phone to your PC via USB cable.
5. Open Midway, select the jad file, then send it to your phone.
6. After file transfer is completed, it will be installed in your phone automatically.

Install in TF card, via USB cable
1. Set "Default connection" of "USB setting" to "memory card".
2. Connect your phone to your PC via USB cable. Your phone will be recognized as a removable hard drive.
3. Copy the jar file from PC/Mac to /mobile/kjava directory of the removable drive.
4. Go to "Games & Apps" menu for Memory card, then select "[install new]".
5. Then select the games/apps to install.

The above methods won't work if special permission is required to run the games/apps. You can grant permission using MotoMidMan.

Install using Moto Midlet Manager (MotoMidMan)
MotoMidMan is a free software, download and install it. You must also have installed the driver for Motorola P2K phone. By default MotoMidMan will grant full permission for the games/apps installed using MotoMidMan. MotoMidMan is very easy to use, so just download and use it. If your java apps has a jad & a jar file, select install jad file. Otherwise, select install jar file.

If you have a new phone model, you may see "unsupported platform cant continue" when using motomidman. One possible solution is to check your S/W version, then add the version into "model2" in the motomidman.ini file. For example, your S/W version is R452B_G_08.02_08R. You can add R452B to Mode2 in MotoMidMan.ini file, as follows:
...
Mode2 = R4513 R3511 R479 R47A R4517 R478 R452B
...

Generate JAD file using JADMaker
Most of the java j2me apps packages come with both JAD & JAR file, but some of them have only the JAR file. To generate the JAD file, you can use a program "JADMaker" to do it. Just open JADMaker, then drag the JAR file into the JADMaker's window, the JAD file will be generated in the same location as the JAR file.
