How to install games on Samsung F400

             Some of you were wonderinghow to install games on samsung F400 phone. Different from ordinary phone where you just copy the .jad and .jar files this phone wont just accept this kind of installation. To help you with this i discovered a way to install it on your phone.

                First let’s start with the things you need.

a.       Usb cable – to connect your phone to your computer.

b.      PC – of course you cant install a game without it.

c.       Samsung F400 mobile phone.

d.      BitPim – you can download this here  . Dont worry it doesnt contain trojans or other malicous softwares (my norton 360 says).

e.      Qualcomm USB drivers – here. It also doesnt contain malicious files.

f.        .jar and .jad files – ex. Bejeweled.jar and bejeweled.jad. Incase you only have the .jar files you can search for .jad maker.
