HOW TO create Menu Shortcuts to java applications

I bumped into this on a different site ... But it's the ability to link to Java apps directly, that way you don't have to open the Java App, then open the program you want.
I've made two shortcuts that work on my phone, and basically, the way they work is the following :
The "s1_" and "s0_" is the order in which they appear in the Jbed application
So you can open the files with any text editor and change the number following the S.
GMAIL
Code:
28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s1_
Opera Mini
Code:
28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_
The number 28 at the beginning of the line, is the number of characters in the whole line of text including the actual 28... but unless you add more than 9 shortcuts you won't have to mess with this.
Just follow the pattern and you can create shortcuts for any java application you want.
Once you edit the files, copy them into \Windows\Startmenu\Programs and it will appear in ur programs menu.

Java App links...
This is something that I’ve been wanting to do for a while now. Thanks, you did a great job!!

Nice. Good work David.

Nice find, this will come in handy for builds.

Don't forget to keep in mind, that it depends on the order in which programs appear on the jbed list.

here's a weird one for you guys. opera mini kept on giving me location errors, making many web pages render in norsk, and i only understand english. i have no idea what made it start to do that. first google one day, then myspace another, etc etc. after getting annoyed with it, i uninstalled opera mini from jbed, and tried using opera mobile. didn't like it as much as opera mini, so uninstalled opera mobile. went to download a signed opera mini from PIE again, and the java wouldn't autostart. so, i reinstalled esmertec jbed from here on the forum, and now opera mini works awesome again... except for the start menu shortcut. i've tried numerous tutorials, and i keep getting a "can't find suite s0, s1, etc etc" error. i've tried changing the s to anything, in hopes it would work, but no luck. opera mini is my only java app. any ideas anyone?

Open the shortcut in a text editor and see what the number on there is. if you don't have any other java apps, it should be "0"

I suppose that usual rules for .lnk works, so for example it would be
56#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s1_?\windows\shellres.dll,-8263
To create .lnk more easily you could use ShortcutCreator (if it works on your PDA)

I tried to use from s0_ to s4_, nothing worked....
Untill i opened my selector.utf(windows\appdb) and seen that gMail is "root=s-1_", so i've change my shortcut to point to "s-1_", this did the trick.
Thanx.

well... actually there is a copy/paste option in opera mini straight after instalation. select what You want to copy, open onscreen keyboard and press ctl (ctrl for resco kbd) and c. to paste ctl + v.
is that cool or what?

I'll have to look at this a little more.
I didn't see any options during the install that allowed copy/paste option.
Since I have the pocket pc at&t tilt, I used the generic opera mini download. Does each version matter? Opera didn't list the carrier/provider for the device, hence my generic selection.

The copy / cut / paste has nothing to do with the inherent Opera install. If you are in Outlook or whatever, highlight what you want to copy, click copy. Open Opera the open the enter web address dialog, open the on screen keyboard and click ctrl and then v and the copied stuff will be pasted!
As far as I know you cannot copy from Opera to something else.

yah, I have done that before w/no problems, but its copying text in opera mini that is not functional.
thank you,
tvos

hmm...
I am having real difficulties understanding some of the posters in here. :/
look: You CAN copy/paste to/from opera mini.
tutorial:
part 1- copy
to copy text- select it with stylus, open onscreen keyboard (standard qwerty should work best), press CTL button and after that press C
to copy current address- go to web page You want to open somewhere else, press left softkey (menu) and choose "enter address", press right softkey (menu) and choose "current address", copy displayed address as text above.
part 2- paste
in pocket internet explorer or in most other apps hold stylus for few seconds in address bar or wherever You want the text to be pasted and select "paste" from menu.
to paste anything into opera select the place You want paste into and from onscreen keyboard press "ctl" then "V".
if You shall still have any questions how to those... then I cannot help You more. I won't post any screenshots, I will not record any video. damn. I just cannot be clear mo on this.
:/

bro

bronx,
I appreciate the info - copy/paste is basic common sense of functionality.
Anyways, opera mini does not allow me to copy text by highligting with the stylius. I am able to activate the virtual keyboard to enter text by typing, but to copy text using ctrl-c and highliteing is not a option.
I have been messing with Opera 8.6.5 and its not bad. Just would like to use the same gui as Opera Mini in 8.6.5
Is there a way to remove the scroll bars completely in 8.6.5 and to force full screen all the time?

Opera Mini Java Button Assignment

Friends,
I reviewed the posts here in the forum and searched the internet. I am using Opera 4.1 (beta) and would like to assign Opera to the IE button. I do not want java to load, by-pass this directly and run opera.
I looked around the net and this is what I have found so far and still does not work.
http://tiltsite.com/2008/02/launch-opera-mini-with-the-tilts-ie-button/
26#\Windows\jbed.exe -run s0_ (tried 0-9)
28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s1_
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347688&highlight=opera+mini+4
All I want to do is launch opera mini using the IE button. Is this too much to ask for these days..
I am using mortscript (latest) and able to successfully launch internet links in outlook, word docs etc..
Please help!
Tvos

"\Windows\jbed.exe" -run s#_
works for me. try that.

hey I am getting closer..
it launched but came up with a error message in java stating Could not find suit s0_
Any ideas?
tvos

two things.
I was creating the wrong extension .lnk and I used the one from
26#\Windows\jbed.exe -run s1_ which worked.
thank you!
tvos

is there a way to get rid of the annoying message each time the application is launched? the one that asks for permission!
last, I know this has been stated but not sure if this can be done in the new beta 4.1
Can you select text by highlighting in opera mini and paste?
please advise and thank you!
tvos

my pleasure, glad it worked.
1) I think you need to use another MIDapplet (not Esmertec) to skip that prompt (I've heard Cloud lets you).
2) You still cant copy-paste in Mini

thanx, i am just glade to skip the non-sense of having to launch it manual each time.. plus, IE ppc absoulte blows...
tvos

Check out this post. It's explained very well and worked on my tilt.
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-...ed-includes-info-new-java-midlet-manager.html

beautiful job..
beta 4.1 I had to do some editing with the script to point to s1_ which was no big deal.
but how can I find the java app and change the permissions?
How to set permissions in signed versions of Opera Mini
Note: This is only valid for Opera Mini 4.1 beta.
As of Opera Mini 4.1 beta, we will offer signed versions along with unsigned. The advantage of the signed version is that you can change permission settings to less restrictive permissions. The end result is that you will get fewer permission dialogs for e.g., file and network access.
How to set permissions for Opera Mini varies a lot among different phones, but we will give you a few examples:
In general, you have to locate the folder where Opera Mini 4.1 is. Then you have to highlight Opera Mini 4.1 and press an options/menu button.
thank you!
tvos

i have everything working except the permissions and when i click on a link from outlook it doesn't pass into opera mini. opera mini loads perfect w/no problems, just doesn't complete the script.
i am using opera beta 4.1
any ideas?
thanx

Not installing it until they have a signed version like the http://mini.opera.com/beta ones.

Maybe it's just me but honestly i see no difference between 4.0 and 4.1...

What's the importance of having a signed one? I've been using the unsigned 4.1 beta since it came out and I've had no problems.

There are several differences. They have them listed somewhere... The main one I noticed in my short time with it was the inclusion of a "synchronize" feature, which syncs bookmarks and some other stuff with their servers. If you use the new beta for desktop machines, it syncs with their servers, too, so your PC Opera and Opera Mobile/Mini are up to date with eachother. Kinda like Microsoft Exchange for web browsing stuff.

Yeah but i dont really use that feature. The one thing i can say is I like the search in page feature.

Upgraded this morning. Upgrade process was fine...kept bookmarks and settings....I see no problems.
.....and there are differences in 4.1.....most notably, being able to download files without calling upon IE......and it's also supposedly up to 50% faster (which basically just means it could be 1% faster on 99% of the web, but if it happens to be 50% on the other 1%.....then it is "up to" 50% faster in general).

unassigned asks you everytime when you want to go online for net access. Plus whenever you want to save something to file system using browser it asks you permission to access file system.
Signed version only asks these questions at install and never after that

Upgraded from 4.0 to 4.1 without any problems, kept all my settings and bookmarks also. Did find it took a little while to upgrade so be patient

They do, they just messed up the links so you might have to click around, unless they fixed that problem.

The startoperamini thread includes a mortscript which launches opera for you in one step..no need to open java manually first. You can however create a shorcut that calls the java exe and tells it what midlet to launch...should be more info available via search.
The script is alot easier.

Which version of opera 4.1 is better for the Tilt?
I looked at the available HTC models, the Tilt doesn't appear there.
Thank you.

You cannot start it outside of Java but at least you can start it with one click. Just create a link file and put:
28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_
in it (where 28 is the number of characters and 0 the number of the installed java app.... so they may vary)
put this file in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and there you go.
No need for an extra step.

I tried the previous(generic) version
And it didn't work.
I asked the question because supposedly there're 2 versions, one is a signed version, the other unsigned.
Further, when I had my HW6910, there were a high-memory version and a "regular" version, and the "regular" version didn't work.

Here is the procedure that I followed for my 4.0 (I also upgraded to 4.1 last evening, everthing is OK). The procedure below works fine, no need to have MortScript and such.
Then you can replace the IE button with that shortcut!
However, I have not tried the selector.utf trick yet (again, it works with the 4.0). I use the "Fix.exe" (attached) to remove that security prompts. Just copy the selector.utf in the same folder, and run that Fix.exe (Make a backup of the utf file first!).
Here is the reference:
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-...ed-includes-info-new-java-midlet-manager.html
Making a direct shortcut to Opera Mini (or any other Java Midlet)
Since Opera Mini is a Java Midlet application, one annoying aspect is that to run Opera Mini, you must first run the Java Midlet, tap on the "Applications" list item, then tap on the "Opera Mini 4 beta" item. Luckily, some industrious users out there have figured out how to create a shortcut that launches Opera Mini (or any other Java app) directly. Assuming you haven't installed any other Java apps, you need to create a shortcut file (e.g., opera.lnk) pointing to ("\windows\jeodek.exe" -run s1_), or ("\windows\jbed.exe -run s1_"), if using Jbed instead.
The magic portion is the number after the the letter "s" in the shortcut target. This is the list position of the Java Midlet in the Jeodek/Jbed application list. If you install Jeodek/Jbed as a fresh install (non Mogul users), and then directly install Opera Mini, just use the number "0" to refer to Opera Mini ("\windows\jbed.exe -run s0_"). If you install another MIDlet (after Opera Mini), its index will become 1, then the next installed Midlet will have an index of 2, and so on.
Locating the number that corresponds to a Java Midlet
To find which number corresponds to an installed Java Midlet, navigate to the (windows\appdb) folder. There should be some .jar files in there, with one of them being the Opera Mini jar file (or other Java Midlet you wish to target). Whatever the number is after the letter "s", is the number needed in your shortcut link. Only the first part of the file name of the midlet is needed, so lets say, in the appdb folder, you have "s0_suite.jar", for your shortcut target, leave out the suite.jar, and only put "s0_", so your shortcut should point to ("\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_), NOT ("\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_suite.jar). A pre-made shortcut file can be found here.
Creating/Modifying Shortcuts on Your Mobile Device
The following lists a couple of ways to create edit/create shortcuts with parameters on a mobile device.
1.) Use the excellent shareware application, Resco Explorer (the method I personally use, and find the easiest).
2.) Create the shortcut manually using any text editor. Shortcuts have the file extension ".lnk". So, for example, lets create a file in a text editor, and save it with the file name OperaMini.lnk, the contents of the file should look similar to this :
Code:
28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_
28# means that the shortcut target, including the parameter (-run s0_) is 28 characters.
Note: A forum user has reported that the freeware application, Total Commander does NOT create the shortcut properly.
After you have created/named the shortcut, all that is left to do is to place the shortcut file in your start menu (\windows\start menu\programs) folder.
Skipping the Connection Permission Prompt (Only applies to JBed)
One of the only negatives of using Jbed, over Jeodek, used to be that any time an application wanted to access to the Internet, Jbed would ask twice if you want to allow the action. It will also forget this permission next time you ran the application, so you would have to give permission every time you ran a Midlet that tried to access the Internet. Thanks to forum user g-funkster, a work around for this annoyance has been found!
1.) Copy the file \windows\appdb\selector.utf to your PC (make sure backup this file first in case something goes wrong!)
2.) Remove read-only attribute
3.) Open the file with a hex editor, and find the line
Code:
domain=untrusted, \
Replace the text untrusted with the text tckmax. Add space characters between the x (in tckmax) and the comma (otherwise connection warnings or a nullpointerexception error may occur). The above line may appear multiple times in the "selector.utf" file, each corresponds to a different Java Midlet you have installed in JBed.
If hex editing is too blackhat for you, g-funkster has created a desktop application that can do this for you automatically! You can find it here.

Just had a look at the Opera Mini website linked above. Does anyone know if the Esmertec Jbed Midlet manager supports this JSR-75 protocol? At the moment, I am using the Mortscript method to allow opening of links in emails etc in Opera, but direct downloads through Opera sounds very good!

Yes, it does.

Missing link

Hi,
I need help ...
I just installed SKTools 3.1.12, and I used "Clean Up" tool ...
The SKTool cleaned up suppose to be junks, temporary, or bad shortcuts ...
But now, my link to Java (Esmeretec Jbed) is missing.
Do you know how to recreate it?
I used to have "Java" icon somewhere in the "Programs" or "Settings", which I can click to start Opera Mini 4.2.
Thanks

when i view the properties of the "Java" link file with resco explorer, the shortcut points to:
"\Windows\jbed.exe"?MPI_ProgramIcons.dll,-121
note that this is on my current ROM (PDA Corner Ultimate X2.V8). also, i can gather that for the above to work, there must be a file called "jbed.exe" in your windows folder and another file called "MPI_ProgramIcons.dll". can't decipher much more than that but perhaps someone else can
on a side note, i'm curious why you are using opera MINI when opera MOBILE is available for windows mobile and it is oh so much better! for one thing, it doesn't need java (i.e. its a native application) and it has a desktop rendering mode which works pretty well! give it a shot!

I tried to create .lnk file using my PC, content:
"\Windows\jbed.exe"?MPI_ProgramIcons.dll,-121
And I placed it in \Windows\Programs\
It does not work.
About Opera Mobile, it is slow ... unfortunately.
And I installed 9.7, but the Turbo mode setting cannot be saved permanently:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4878752&postcount=798

Fixed!
I used Total Commander, copied something.lnk to Java.lnk.
Edit the Shortcut to the above content.
Thanks ASCIIker!

Just a little info:
Get Opera Mobile from the source Opera Mobile website and the Turbo Mode works just not when dowloading you have to change setting refresh page.
Mind you i still use Mini as it's just soooo fast
Re: The bit in shortcut @ end after and inc ? points to a .dll and the no. of the resource so as to use custom start menu icons.
