The first thing I ever wrote that other people used was a j2me app freshman year in college. It was a power hour app that played a random simpsons .wav every minute.

I was a pretty poor CS student, in hindsight I'm surprised I got it to work.

One of the very first "hacks" I did was finding instructions via a random WAP website on how to patch a J2ME game for some early phone that could run .jar games, in order to effectively crack it.
