How To Download Games and Apps
Downloading games and apps can be confusing. Here’s how to do it:
- Be sure your phone supports Java ME (also called J2ME) apps. Check your phone’s manual or contact the phone’s manufacturer if you don’t know.
- iPhones, Android, Firefox and Windows phones do not support Java ME apps and can not run the apps on BoostApps.
- Free Basics blocks downloads using free data so be sure you have sufficient paid data to download the app.
- Visit boostapps.com with your phone’s browser
- Find a game or app you want.
- Click the “DOWNLOAD (jad”) link below the app’s description. The phone will download and install the app.
- Not every app works with every phone. Check the “Reported working on…” and “Reported not working on…” lists on the app’s download page to see if the app has been tried on your phone>
In addition to BoostApps, Java ME games are available from several other sites. The procedure varies a little from site to site but is generally something like this.
- Go to a mobile download site (see below for a list of ones that work) with the phone’s built in browser
- If it asks you to pick a phone and yours isn’t listed pick one with the same screen size, for example:
- Use Motorola V300 for phones with 176×220 screens.
- Use Motorola V190 for phones with 128×160 screens
- Use Samsung A707 for phones with 240×320 screens
- Find a game you want and click the download link or button
- Don’t expect every game or app to work. Typically only about half of them do
Download sites that work: I’ve successfully downloaded and installed games from these sites to my Boost CDMA Motorola Rambler:
GetJar: getjar.com If GetJar says it doesn’t recognize your phone choose Samsung, Motoroloa , LG or Java. It doesn’t seem to matter which.

I was wondering is there an application, where I would be able to download videos from the internet to my computer.
There are lots of PC apps for downloading videos from YouTube, etc. YouTube Downloader HD is supposed to be good
I am still unable to watch video clips from this site on my sanyo juno boost mobile phone any suggestions?
The Juno is not video capable, there is no way to make it capable.
How do i get a handler for my sanyo mirro?
Are you talking about this message that appears in the browser when you try to download a ringtone, play a video or upload a photo?
No Handler
A handler is needed to use this content type.
Get Handler
Cancel
The message means the phone can’t handle that type of file. There are no handlers. Reply with what you are trying to do when you get the message and which phone you are using and someone might be able to suggest a work around. If you are trying to watch a video, the Mirro can’t play videos.
http://myxer.com has fee ringtones that work
Can ringtones and/or wallpaper be downloaded to the Sanyo Juno without using a PC? And if I can download w/o a PC, are there any sites with free ringtones that will work?
