• System Requirements
• Installing on a Java enabled Phone (Nokia, Motorola, Sony, LG, Samsung etc)
• Installing on a Pocket PC
• Installing on Palm OS (Treo, Lifedrive, Tungsten etc)
• Installing on Blackberry OS 3.8+

1. System Requirements:

• MIDP 2.0

• Phone that supports JAR (Java Archive) files of size 800 KB or more.

• Screen width of 128 pixels or more (135 pixels recommended)

1. All Java-enabled Nokia phones come with a software called "Nokia PC Suite". You will need this installed on your computer in order to install the software. If you already don't have this software, please download it for free from: http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite
2. Make sure you have your Nokia Data Cable ready (The USB cable that came with it)
3. Unzip the ZIP file that you just downloaded (e.g. for QuranReaderArabicMK.zip) on your PC. Windows XP already allows you to unzip files by right clicking on them and selecting "Uncompress". If you don't already have an uncompressing software, please download WinZip for free from http://www.winzip.com. This will allow you to uncompress the ZIP file.
4. From the uncompressed folder list, browse into the CLDC 1.0 directory
5. In the directory you will find two files, a .JAD file and a .JAR file. On the .JAR file you will notice a Nokia icon against the name of the file (provided that you have installed the Nokia PC Suite software). Simply double click on this file and click on 'Yes' when it asks you if you want to install this file. From here on, keep following the prompts that you get on your mobile screen till the software is installed. If your phone complains that the software is untrusted, simply click 'Yes' when it asks you to confirm that you'd like to proceed with installation.

Important Note: By default, most new mobiles (like Nokia E61/E61i/N95) come with strict installation rules to disallow un-certified softwares. Since these softwares do not contain a certificate (so that they may run on all mobiles as most mobiles will refuse certain certificate authorities), you need to lower the security level on your mobile. To do this on most Nokia models, you need to follow these steps:

1. Go to Tools->App. mgr.->Options->Settings
2. There you need to set Software installation to 'All'.
3. Save and try installing the software again, this time it should work

Installing it on a Series 60 phone such as Nokia N80

1. If you have a N80, following the above given instructions will not yeild anything. Please follow the instructions given in this section.
2. You will still need to unzip the file and will need to arrange the USB data cable for your phone (see above for unzipping instructions). Please also make sure the memory card that came with the phone has been inserted into the phone.
3. First ensure that your mobile is setup to accept 'Data Transfer Mode' rather than Nokia PC Suite mode. To do this, click on the 'Nokia Menu' button on the front of the phone and then browse into 'Connectivity' from the given list. Then click on 'Data Cable' at the top of the list. Click on 'Options' and then 'Change'. From the list, select 'Ask on connection'. Now click 'OK' when done.
4. Next, connect the USB cable to the PC and then to your Phone. Your phone will prompt you to select the connection mode. Choose 'Data Transfer' and click 'OK'.
5. Now from your PC's desktop, double click on 'My Computer' and then on 'D:' (the dive letter could be different for different computers, basically this is the phone card that is present in your phone)
6. Now once you have the drive folder opened, you will see a list of folders there, such as 'Data', 'Images', 'Videos' etc. The one we're interested in is 'Data'. Double click on 'Data'. In this folder you should find a 'j2me' folder. If it's not there, create one. Double click on this folder to open it.
7. Now we need to copy the installation file to this folder. From the unzipped folders that you downloaded, browse into the CLDC1.0 folder. There you will find two files with the same names, but different extensions (i.e. one will be a .JAR file and one will be a .JAD file). Copy the .JAR file (e.g. QuranReaderArabicMK.jar) to the 'j2me' folder that we just opened. Once you have copied the file to the folder, you can safely remove the USB cable at this point as we will now be installing the file from the phone in the next step.
8. From the front panel of the phone, press the 'Nokie Menu' button. Goto the 'Tools' directory on from the list that is shown and select 'File Manager'
9. Make sure you are viewing the Phone directory list by pressing the 'right arrow' key once. You will see the same list of folders that you saw from within your PC. Now select the 'Data' directory. From within the directory, select the 'j2me' directory. You will now see the file on the next screen that you had copied from your PC to your mobile. Click on 'Options' and select 'Open'. From this point keep pressing 'Continue/Okay/Yes' and the file will be installed. After it has been installed, it should appear under 'My Files' from the Menu list.
