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 have a boost samsung seek & it doesnt let me download or see anything what do i do ?
Quite a few of the games and apps on this site have been reported to work on the Seek. Which ones have you tried that didn’t work and what error message are you getting?
Hey dennis i found a site where you can get more games for the MEboy any chance you can upload those games here if i give you the link because i can’t download from that site and im using my phone to try and get them. Thanks!
You could try using the universal uploader.
But you can post a link to the site here and I’ll see I get some of the games for this site.

What are some good sites that I can go to for free games for my Sanyo Innuendo? Im tired of searching and getting the run around.
I listed the five best sites in my last reply to you.
There are many games I try to download, if not all, that a message pops up n tells me I need a handler. What is that? And even tho the website is for my phone type, Sanyo Innuendo, it tells me that most of the wallpapers, games, and ringtones are unavailable for my phone. Are there different types of Sanyo Innuendos?
There are no handlers. The badly worded error message is telling you that you trying to download a file type the phone can’t handle. The Innuendo only supports jad files for game and app downloads. Sites that offer jad file game and app downloads include BoostApps, http://wap.getjar.com/http://mobilerated.com/wap/http://mobilestore.opera.com/ and http://wap.hovr.com/
For ringtones and wallpapers you can use http://rumkin.com/tools/sprint/ to send them from a PC to the phone
