[How-To] Install Jbed on the HTC DESIRE

Felikz over at XDA has put together a very short guide on how to install Jbed java on your htc desire, So you can play any Java file :)

Instructions......

1. Download this.

2. Start a shell (i prefer adb shell), and type the following (each line confirmed with the return key)


adb remount
adb install Jbed.apk or adb push Jbed.apk /system/app
adb push libjbedvm.so /system/lib
adb shell reboot

Reboot and Enjoy!!

Windows 7 Activation - Remove W.A.T 2.2.5


If you are a Windows 7 user you may of noticed a new update found on the Windows Update Service. The update (KB971033) has been released to try and combat the Windows 7 users who are running a pirated copy.
Once the KB971033 update has been installed it will give you random pop-up messages telling you that your version of Windows 7 is not genuine and other random things.
Just hours after release a fix called RemoveWAT 2.2.5 was released to combat the Microsoft Update. RemoveWAT works quite different to other Windows 7 Loaders and Activators. It works by simply removing all files relating to Windows Activation Technologies while still allowing Windows 7 to run Windows Update and appear to be Genuine.

WORKS ON ALL EDITIONS OF 7/2008R2/HS2010
NOT FOR VISTA/ORIGINAL 
SERVER 2008!!!!
IMPROVEMENTS SINCE 1.0:
- renames slmgr on x64 as well
- Works on unicode systems
- silent mode with /s switch
- UI tweaked slightly
- No reboot necessary
- Passes WGA on X64

There will be no windows activation section in control panel
no slmgr, no nags,  no prompts,  nothing. WAT gone. .

In theory this should have a 100% success rate on all machines.

         Version 2.2.5
Fully protects from WAT Update (KB971033)
Disables trial time bomb in evaluation ISOs fully

Installion and Use:
1. UnRAR
2. Run as Adminstrator
3. Click on Remove WAT button

To Return Windows 7 to Original State:
1. UnRAR
2. Run as Adminstrator
3. Click on Restore WAT button


Download HERE!!..........  


EDIT: Remember if your doing a fresh install, uncheck activate online and DO NOT put in a key.
