#31 Don't Drain The Battery
--------------------------------------------------
With Lithium batteries there is no advantage to draining the battery. The battery will infact last longer with partial rather than full discharges. There is no battery memory effect with a lithium battery - you can charge the battery whenever you like without fear of reducing its charge capacity, and you do not need to drain a lithium battery completely before recharging it.

Renaming Java Titles
The following steps will guide you on how to rename a Java Application / Game so that your desired name will appear on the phone.
Note: You must acquire the following software.
0 - Archiving software - e.g. WinRAR, WinZip.
1 - Open the .jar file using one of the above software. I suggest on using WinRAR because it retains the file structure of the archive.
2 - Navigate to the file system and double click on the META-INF directory.
3 - Extract the MANIFEST.MF into your hard disk and the open it using any text editor that you may have. e.g. Notepad, or Wordpad.
4 - You will see something like MIDlet-Name: XXXXXX where XXXXXX corresponds as the name of the midlet. Edit it to your liking then add it back to the archive above replacing the previous MANIFEST.MF file.
5 - Enjoy
p/s : You can also edit the icon size of the midlet for it to be uniform with the other icons.
