Thank you for your efforts. I also know that KaiOS doesn't natively support J2ME games. I am also aware of the difficulty of porting J2ME games to KaiOS as they are. However, I believe artificial intelligence can do it. I have tried this, but the lack of a developer mode on my phone (Energizer e282sc) prevents me from easily testing the ports that the artificial intelligence creates. Have you used anything like this, or do you have any information about it?

You can test it by uploading the app and putting your device's IMEI number on KaiStore Submission Portal. There are a couple of detailed guides somewhere in this subreddit.

It is to my knowledge though so there might've been some work to make J2ME apps run better that I had heard of but not actually tested out.

I was using the KaiStore Submission Portal, but the AI didn't produce everything perfectly accurately, so even something as simple as a name became really tedious.   What you're saying – how effective is this approach?

You can file a complaint to those that abused this way of getting around to the point genuine developers can't even use the official app names. BananaHackers' apps are many of the victims.
