Since the LG Vu typically runs on a Java-based platform (MIDP), you can install Java games as .jar files. Here's how you can do it:
1. Get the Java Game Files (.jar and .jad)

• Download Java games in .jar format. Some games might also come with a .jad file (the Java Application Descriptor file), but the .jar file is usually enough.
• You can find Java games from various mobile game websites, just make sure you’re downloading from a trusted source.

2. Transfer the Java Game to Your LG Vu - Log in to see links

You can transfer the game files to your LG Vu via:
a. Using USB Cable:

• Connect your LG Vu to your computer using the USB cable.
• Once connected, enable File Transfer mode on the phone (if prompted).
• Copy the .jar (and .jad if available) file to the "Games" or "Java" folder on your phone or any folder you prefer.

b. Using Bluetooth:

• If your LG Vu supports Bluetooth, you can send the .jar file from your computer or another device via Bluetooth.
• Make sure your phone’s Bluetooth is on, and accept the file transfer when prompted.

3. Install the Game on the LG Vu

Once the game file is transferred, you need to install it:

• On your LG Vu, navigate to the "Games" or "Java" folder where you copied the .jar file.
• Select the .jar file to start the installation process.
• Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.

4. Launch the Game

After installation, the game should appear in your Games or Applications menu. You can launch it directly from there.
