Development and distribution platform for mobile phones

Alchemy OS project.

Alchemy OS is a software development and distribution platform for mobile phones with Java support. Although this is not an operating system in the full sense, it provides rich platform to develop, compile and run applications directly in the phone, as well as install applications written by others.

alchemy-os's Issues

Can't install, causes phone rebooting

Model: SE W660i

What I did:

• stage 1: ran the Installer, chose JSR-75, allowed read permission, created the dedicated folder from installer (e:/Other/Alchemy/), allowed write permission... phone hanged for a while, not returning from permission dialog to the app, then rebooted;
• stage 2: ran the Installer, chose JSR-75, entered that folder (not even chose it!)... app hanged and caused the phone to reboot, again.

The directory remains empty after each trial. This doesn't look like a filesystem issue: I can successfully enter that directory with other apps, and create/edit/delete files in it manually. There is a lot of free space on the card.

What does the installer do first? Is this something heap-greedy? Or maybe it calls something not well-standardized?

your approaches doesn't work

you have said Open the file "/cfg/pkg/sources" and change http://alchemy-os.org to http://alchemy-os.sourceforge.net/.but that doesn't work I hope you can update alchemy-os to a right version which can refresh lists correctly

Your website have closed

I can't download package by using your website

Rewrite installer

Installer for j2me version should be rewritten.

1. Some phones do not show caption of the first (default) command - instead of command-based menu we could show list-based menu.
2. Shell script returns normally even if there were errors during installation - this is defect of /bin/sh (which also must be rewritten but that is another issue). May be use Ether program instead which can handle errors and show fancy progress during installation.

Maybe reboot as Android version?

Bug in ether compiler

code:

 var i: Int
 if ((i = in.read()) != -1) {
  ...
 }

generate IllegalStateException in time compiling. Message: "Stack inconsistency: empty stack"

LG x350: Phone hangs on boot

After extracting packages on installer, the application hangs on "Java" screen after opening Alchemy OS, don't even asking for read/write permissions
Both RMS and JSR-75 does the same issue

Procedure:

1. Open Installer
2. Select Install
3. Choose RMS or JSR-75, path, and install
4. Quit when finished
5. Open Alchemy OS
6. Wait for eternity into "Java" screen

Make PC version

Step 1: refactor code and make separate library of core classes which can be shared by different projects.
Step 2: make terminal PC version (without UI support)
Step 3: implement libui

I have fond that you have pkg 2.2

When I install alchemy os 2.1.8 on my phone,edit the pkg 2.1 source to pkg 2.2 ,refresh list,update the sh and reboot the software,it crash,why?
