Installing an application...

[mserougi]

Okay now suppose there is this application (native EZX/Qt binary) that I want to distribute to everyone, not just the ones who have linloader already installed and are familiar with the workings of the phone, but complete linux illiterates, who have no idea how to flash the phone, or install linloader, with no mpkg support, on a totally unmodified phone, something like a jar file, how would I go about doing that? I figured one way of doing that was through exactly that, jar files, and packaging linloder with the application, and figuring out some way of having linloader installed automatically and then creating an icon for the app and associate it with linloader... of course checking for the existence of linloader if I'm also distributing updates... difficult but doable? Or maybe there's another way I don't know?

Another way : asking Motorola politely to include LinLoader, MPKG, and NEO in their next Linux phones, perhaps? And give handsome royalty to those creating the apps?

Well that's quite unlikely I'll be researching the jar stuff then...

Okay turns out it's not exactly as simple as I thought... I don't think I can simply edit any file on phone using java, it's not allowed... My plan was to use a .jar file to modify the phone's db and add linloader so that later I can run any application...
