This is my Tutorial on how to put games on your envTouch.

Heres a video link to the tutorial:


Things you will need:
1. your phone
2. a USB cable
3. BitPim software
4. some .swf games


Step 1.
Download the latest version of BitPim from www.bitpim.org. Make sure you download the 1.0.7 version that came out on August 10, 2009 because it supports the envTouch.

Install it and make sure you are able to run it.

One problem I had to get BitPim to run was that I got an error message saying that msvcp71.dll was not found, I fixed it by downloading the dll from dll-files.com and installing it into my windows>system directory. Here is a direct link to the .dll if you experience the same problem:
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcp71


Step 2:

Before connecting your phone to the computer navigate to settings&tools>tool>usb auto detection> and choose Modem Mode. otherwise it wont work

Once you have BitPim up and running and your phone connected to your computer lets make sure BitPim recognizes your phone.

go to BitPim and on the tabs go to edit>settings> and click on phone wizard.
Choose our model (lg-vx11000 (envy Touch)) and click next. Then where it says available ports click auto. Now BitPim should recognize your phone and be able to retrieve the information needed

Next: in bitPim go to view and make sure that view filesystem is checked. Once that is Done you should see a filesystem icon on the left side in bitPim. Click on that and click on teh folder that you should see.

You should see a sign saying retrieving...
It usually takes 10 seconds or it to retrieve the information from your phone. Once retrieving is done proceed next.

Next you are going to navigate to flash>ui>tools
you should see a bunch of .swf files with names like: ezTipType1Sub.swf, etc.

Step 3:
Now its time to get some .swf games for your phone. here are some links for some games that I found worked well with the phone:

http://69.93.231.198/albino_flash0004/squares2sheep(www.albinoblacksheep.com).swf

http://64.191.61.82/flash09/miniputt(www.albinoblacksheep.com).swf

You can find tons of games if you google them.


Now here is the "hard" part.

Download teh games and save them wherever you like. Now make a folder for the game. put the .swf game in the folder.

NExt proceed by renaming the .swf game you donloaded to the following: ezTipType1Sub.swf then make a new folder and copy that same game which you just renamed to the new folder.

now you should have 2 copies of the same file in 2 different places. Now take the file in the new folder and rename it from ezTipType1sub.swf to ezTipType1Main.swf.

Then go to bitpim and right click on the file ezTipType1sub.swf and choose overwrite. choose the new game that you downloaded and renamed with the corresponding name. After overwriting is finished you should see the size change.

Do the same thing for the ezTipType1Main.swf file.

After that is done, change the 2 files form ezTipType1sub to ezTipType2sub and ezTipType2Main to ezTipType2Main

And again overwrite the following files: ezTipType2sub and ezTipType2Main make sure to overwrite them with the corresponding names.


Thats it. youre done, no need to restart your phone. simply navigate to setting&tools> tools> ezTipcalculator and instead of the unsufull Tip calculating application you will find a fun game to play.

Thanks for the tutorial it worked great for me.

yes but im not sure where to upload them. tell me where and i will do that

I couldn't find the files on my pc ;(. but im sure anybody else from this forum could give you the files. jus post a thread that you need some original .swf files.

Hey guys! I love this! So cool! I havent tried it because i didn't understand the instructions. Can someone rewrite the instructions please! I am sorta new to BitPim and this website so could you include every single detail very precisely please! TY

can you answer my question PLEASE

Yes Dillpickle1 and could you answer my question "Hey guys! I love this! So cool! I havent tried it because i didn't understand the instructions. Can someone rewrite the instructions please! I am sorta new to BitPim and this website so could you include every single detail very precisely please! TY " TY

tman, I'll try to rewrite them for you. I just did it and also found the instructions confusing, but understood enough of it to make it work.
1. Install BitPim (The latest version can be found here I think:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitpim/files/bitpim-tests/1.0.7.20090722/bitpim-1.0.7.20090722-setup.exe/download)
2. Connect your phone in modem mode by navigating to USB Auto Detection in the Settings menu and selecting it.
3. The phone should be automatically recognized by BitPim (make sure to start it AFTER you have plugged in the phone).
4. The second-to-last option on the left-side pane should be Filesystem. Select this and expand the plus icon on the main pane of the program.
5. Navigate to flash, then ui, and finally tools.
6. Download a flash game, such as the ones in the original post.
7. Copy the .swf file four times and rename each of the files to one of the following:
ezTipType1Sub.swf, ezTipType1Main.swf, ezTipType2Sub.swf, ezTipType2Main.swf
8. The result should be four identical files, just with different names.
9. In Bitpim, right click anyone of the four EZTip files and select overwrite. Navigate to its corresponding file and select that.
10. Repeat step 9 for the remaining three files.

I hope that this makes it more clear to you. If you don't understand something or it doesn't work, just tell me.

3a. select 'view' 'filesystem' in case you don't see that folder

does verizon charge you for playing these games

and do they charge you for playing the games the phone came with EX: nfsu resident evil tetris??????

please answer
ASAP

would it be possible to replace the tetris, nfs and resident evil demos with other flash games instead of applications like ez tip calculator?

@jimbo33000
As long as you follow the directions, I can't see how anything would be messed up by it, but there is always the chance that something could go wrong. If you get a game that doesn't work or something, then you could always just restore the original files found above.

@thegtiguy
You can't replace those games because they are brew files and as such can not be replace with swf files.

just a note to remember:

'sub' files are for external screen

'main' files are for internal

Why can't i get the 2 bottom games to work? I want to download them but it wont let me. Please tell me how. It just takes me to the page.

Right click on the file and click something to the effect of "Save Link as..." and save it that way.

Tried Linerider, very slow. MiniPutt works nice though.
I have a separate folder for each game. In it I have the copies of the .swf files named like indicated above so I can swap in the new games whenever I want. By the way you can just drag and drop to BitPim, it works just fine. Just select all four files and drag them into the flash/ui/tools folder and it will overwrite the EzTip files automatically.

Miniputt is still my favorite, but Squares plays pretty good on the Touch too. Playing slower is actually a bonus in Squares, it gives you some time to get used to the flow of the game. I found it way too fast on the PC.

strange. I wanted to put the squares game but it won't work... It starts up but the bottom part of the games does not show up and i can't moves.
The minputt: could't move in any direction.

I got battleship and pacman and they work.

okay i tried doing this and when i went to click on my folder it said " Failed to auto-detect the port to use. I couldnt detect any candidate ports".... help would be greatly appreciated! thanks guys

Ok but how do you download the games like miniputt and blocks?

try manually selecting the phone under bitpim options

Curveball is great on the EnV Touch,so far I can only get it to work on the touch screen but it works really well. Download the SWF file here: http://fliiby.com/get/121203/curveball-g7sohsh8fb.html

weapon-x, you can replace just the outside ez-tip and leave the internal one alone:
'sub' files are for external screen

'main' files are for internal

yes, i have zookeeper running when i select ez-tip calc on my external screen, yet i can run ez-tip calc on my internal screen as well
