Hey,

I am trying to develop a Java application to help upload java games to my LG 8120 phone as the LG Phone manager application does not have this feature.As i have bought the phone and it is mine, there are no legal issues with me writing my own application to talk to my own phone to make use of its java capability.
I have been able to at the moment log the communications between the phone and its own LG application and have extracted the hex data being sent back and forth from it. I able to copy the hex data sent for each command and send the same bytes to the phone. The phone ends up responding in the same way it does to its own LG application. However i know that i cannot continually do this as there will be data that must change dynamically. So i want to basically extract as much information as possible from the hex data so that i can try and create a similar protocol in my own Java app in the correct manner.

Unfortunately i do not have much knowledge in the area of hex and am find it hard to understand the information even when converted to bytes or charachters.
If necessary i can post some example data being sent back and forth.

What would be the best way to extract information from the hex data i have that is also in charachter form?Do i need to look into some of the LG phone managers files for extra information?
