Full screen on LG BL40 (disabling virtual keypad)

[Realnoize]

Just wanted to share something that I found a solution to but was bugging me since I began playing with the Java export functionalities of MMF2dev...

I have a new LG BL40 (awesome touch screen phone with big screen (345x800) and a lot of great features).



But since LG has a legendary bad service and support, even on their own forums, I thought I'd share this for those that, like me, might want to create fullscreen, touch-enabled JAVA apps (By default, the phone put a virtual keypad on the lower portion of the screen, preventing using the full screen for your apps).

You should add to the Manifest file (and the .JAD file) those lines :

LGE-MIDlet-Height: 736
LGE-MIDlet-Width: 345
LGE-MIDlet-Indicator: HIDE
LGE-MIDlet-TargetLCD-Height: 736
LGE-MIDlet-TargetLCD-Width: 345
LGE-MIDlet-Allowed-background: YES
LGE-MIDlet-App-Orientation: portrait
LGE-MIDlet-On-Screen-Keypad: NO
MIDlet-Touch-Support: True

Don't forget to enter the modified .JAR file size in the .JAD.

This works for me now, and I can create all those beautiful, high-res, apps I wanted to create for my phone.

This might work also for other phones (LG ones, more than anything), but screen size should probably be modified accordingly.

Thanks for posting.

Nokia phones (Symbian S60 5th edition) have similar kind of settings that can be used, in a little bit different format (can be found on Forum Nokia).

Same solution works for just about any phone :-)
