• Add Any Application Shortcut to Main Menu

    This tutorial will guide you to add your favorite Application to Main menu in your Nokia S40.

    Tools Needed: A PC, MobiMb, NotePad

    Lets take a Mostly used application i.e. UC Browser.
    We have to add a shortcut of UC Browser to the main menu.
    P.S.: You need to have a ".jad" file of your application. 

    Step-1: Connect your Nokia Phone to your PC through a USB data cable and select "Nokia Ovi Suite"

    Step-2: Open MobiMB, Connect your Phone and browse "C:/Hidedenfolder/Menus/".
    On that folder you can see a file named "menusettings.xml"
          
    Copy that file to any folder.
    Now browse to that folder where you have stored your UC Browser.

      
     Find the ".jad" file i.e. "UCBrowser_V9_5.jad" . Now copy this jad file to the same folder.

    Step-3: Open that folder where you have copied that two files.
    Now open "menusettings.xml" with NotePad. Look for "<nativelinks>". Then you will see like this.
      Add a new line at the end of the nlinks with a new "id", like 
    <nlink id="11">localapp://jam/launch?midlet-vendor=Vendor;midlet-name=Name</nlink>

     We have to replace "Vendor" and "Name" with our desire app's exact Name and Vendor.

    Now open the "UCBrowser_V9_5.jad" with NotePad in a new window.
    Copy MIDlet-Name, i.e. Copy "UC Browser"


     Paste it in the place of "Name" like this.
     P.S.: If there is any space in the new name , replace that space with "%20". So we will paste "UC%20Browser" in the place of name.

    Open the jad file again and copy MIDlet-Vendor i.e. copy "UC Mobile"


     P.S.: If there is any space in the new vendor name , replace that space with "%20". So we will paste "UC%20Mobile" in the place of vendor.

    Now Look for "menuitem". You will see a table like this.


     Now add a new line at any place of that table. Write this on that new line
    <menuitem nlink="11" />

     


    P.S.: If nlink="11" do not works, you can use <menuitem id="11" /> or <menuitem nlink-id="11" />.
    Here "11" is the "id" of the new "n
    link" we added very first.

    Now save this file.


    Step-4: Open MobiMb and paste the new file i.e. paste new "menusettings.xml" on "C:/Hidedenfolder/Menus/".


    Step-5: Exit MobiMb. Disconnect your phone from pc and restart your phone.
    Its Done.
