Download Gmail for symbian S60

This article has had so many readers that don't speak Portuguese , that I decided to write it in English. Sorry for my poor English skills.

After I’ve reinstalled the operating system on my Nokia E63, I went to install all the applications that i previously had on the phone. One of those applications was Gmail, so I went to m.google.com to download it has i've done before, but unfortunately this application wasn't available anymore for the S60 systems. However, and since this application is written in Java I do not understand why Google made this call, mainly because it isn't only the S60 phone users that are affected with this decision. Lots of others with a Java compatible phones are also affected.
It is not the purpose of such an app to be available to the most users possible?

I've googled, and found lots of sites that provide the Gmail application for mobile phones similar to mine, but in all versions, at least one of these problems was found.

• The application icon is very small - 12x12.
• There isn't the possibility to run the application in full screen.
• The menu is in the center or in left, not in the right as intended.

The solution to this problem is as follow.

If you edit the Jar file in a word processor, you will notice that it begins with PK, which means it is a zipped file.
Therefore if you unzip the .Jar file, you can modify some of its parameters. This can be done using Winzip or Winrar.
If you want to modify the application icon replace the file GmailIcon.png by another png image.
Finally, edit the file MANIFEST.MF on META_INF folder in order to adapt the application to our phone.
Start by adding the following lines to the file:

MIDlet-Touch-Support: TrueUseNativeTextButtons: falseReverseSoftkeys: falseUseNativeCommands: falseLGE-MIDlet-TargetLCD-Height: 240LGE-MIDlet-TargetLCD-Width: 320LGE-MIDlet-Height: 240LGE-MIDlet-Width: 320MIDlet-Screen-Mode: LandscapeNavi-Key-Hidden: true

Finally, modify the parameters you want.
The MANIFEST.MF file for my Nokia E63 looks as follows: 
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.5

LGE-MIDlet-TargetLCD-Height: 240

Note the line ReverseSoftkeys: false this indicates the location of the context menu and the lines LGE-MIDlet-TargetLCD-Height: 240; LGE-MIDlet-TargetLCD-Width: 320; LGE-MIDlet-Height: 240; LGE-MIDlet-Width: 320;  indicate the screen size of the phone, on mine is 320x240.
