About ttlite
Note: this project was migrated to Google Code on Feb. 3, 2010. Later Oracle decided to keep all projects on Kenai, so I would like to make google code site as a mirror of this project.
ttlite is an even small,fast and open source Java ME twitter client for mobile phones. It is an enhanced version to jibjib-1.0.17, which was created by sugree (@sugree) based on LoliTwitter by @pruet and Twim by tlaukkanen (@tlaukkanen).
The enhancements of ttlite include:
- support displaying older tweets and caching tweets since application starting-up.
- support transportation compression which means not only saving money but also speed. Thanks to java4ever.com providing gzip implementation for j2me.
- support https.
- refactored some codes and cleaned-up some un-necessary codes.
- reorganized the menus.
- fixed some minor bugs, such as: wrong time interval, some texts in StringItem was truncated in display, could not make and display favorites correctly...
- remain small size (around 40KB) with more features
- In march 2010, version 0.98 was added the features of sending with GEO info (suppose your phone supports GPS or other location service) and sending SOS message with just one button.
- In April 2010, version 0.99 was added the features of Lists, RT, Official RT, Direct Messages, Delete, etc... and fixed some bugs.
Installation
- The source code doesn't use any phone vendor specific APIs. It should install on most of phones that supports Java MIDP2.0, including lots of mid-low end phone models.
- Go to Downloads page and grab the latest jar file and transfer it to your phone, then install it on the phone. Some phones may also need the correspondent .jad file with the same name along with the jar file for installation.
Support:
- You can send your questions in reply-message to @ttlite on twitter. If the software works on your phone, I will appreciate if you can tell your phone model to @ttlite on twitter.
- This is a free and open source software, use it at your risk.
