Opera Mini 4

Hi Team,
Opera mini 4 has made my mobile surfing heaven. Good bye PIE! Thank god.
However. I have two queries.
1. Anyone know how to get shot of the annoying "Allo Net Access" Prompt every time i run the midlet? In my Java prog under security I only get "Ask" and "Never Allow". Need an "Always Allow" option, but it's just not there.
2. How the hell do i directly link to a java program, without having to first boot up java, then choose the app? I know this will be possible, but haven't fathomed it yet. I'm wanting to stuff the link under the internet button so I can be rid of PIE for ever.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Matt

OM4 is a java midlet - you must access it through Java. You can make shortcut on Today screen.
As to the "allowing network access", after you have opened program, go to Bookmarks and then Opera Mini - you will find options there. But basically, you will always have to check allow access to network.

Both can be done.

EDIT: I attached the files discussed in case you don't want to register.

Yes, both can be done. Here are the simplest instructions I put together a while back.

And yes, grab the fix.zip in the last post above and you can skip step 1 in my instructions in the linked thread...

The issue with the direct link works fine. But I have already tried to modifiy the selector.utf in both ways, by the fix and by using an hex editor.
But I still get this damn access questions.
I use a TyTNII with shipped HTC Rom with Opera Mini 4 final installed.
The description in your posted link is for OM beta2. May it be that modifications
are not suitable anymore for version 4 final?
A solution would be great.

Edit: Ok, seen in the link of the last post from jomo25 that the version of jbed is the cause. Thanx for the info.

Icon
This is all perrrrfect. Is there a way to change the Icon?

if you want to make a shortcut to launch Opera Mini directly:
Use a Notepad on your PC to create simple text file. And it should only contain the following text:
28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s1_
BUT you may need to edit it and replace the S1_ with something else. if this is the only Java app you have installed and used, then most likely you want to use S0_ in place of S1_.
Name it Opera.lnk (or whatever you want it to say).
And then copy it to your "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" folder.

I can launch Opera Mini in Esmertec Jbed with no problem.
I can see the Opera Mini with the same logo as Esmertec Jbed in Programs (I change the name to Opera Mini.lnk),
but I just can't launch Opera Mini by tapping it.
I tried both s0_ and s1_ but get the same result, it says:
Could not find suite s1_
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or
Could not find suite s0_
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

It might be s2, s3 or more - the s# changes based on how many other java apps you previously installed. Even if you had one and deleted it, it still counts as one. So try some more numbers.
Also Hans- make sure you are using JBED and it should work.

I had that same problem yesterday. I tried putting the s1_ in double quotes.
28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run "s1_"
Once I did that it finally worked for me.

Thanks enigmaneo, it works for me, too

Also make sure you ALWAYS check out the Wiki - I've explained all these questions in my Opera Mini- and MIDlet-related tutorials & articles (see for example http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=The (Java) MIDlet Bible and http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...n use Opera Mini as the system-level browser! - make sure you follow the links from the latter)

Thanks for this info... took me to "s7" until it worked. Thought I was doing something wrong...

UPDATE (11/30/2007): The link association problem has been fixed for WM6 in the meantime (see my last article on the association). This means you can already have the system invoke Opera Mini when you click a link in an e-mail / in any document.
Note that there are still newer and newer versions and optimizations (even faster and faster versions of the invoker script to minimize waiting for Opera Mini to be invoked) published in the Comments section of my related blog post; that is, make sure you also follow it.
And, again, now that you can easily invoke it from any other application (including the most important Messaging) by just clicking any link, Opera Mini HAS become a REAL alternative to all the other, mostly commercial alternatives on Windows Mobile. Make sure you give Opera Mini a try: you may fall in love with it. It’s really powerful. It’s plain great –(most of the times) much faster and cleaner than anything else.

I couldn't agree more. This little fix with turning off the notification to accept the session has made it a lot more usable to me. The browser is awesome and while it can be slow sometimes due to formatting the page, etc., I wouldn't use anything else. PIE simply falls flat in comparison.
I just really dig the screen scrolling with my fingernail (screen protector on there of course).

I did managed to get the shortcut to work but for some reason i just can't get the notification removed. I've downloaded the fix, patched the "Selector" file, replaced it in the phone but it still won't work & yes i did download the JBED from the link given...still no luck. Anything i may have missed out?

You, then, can just use the hack described at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1666254&postcount=6 - it'll work. Also make sure you read the entire thread.

I don't know what I am doing wrong. I even copied the text from the post and I have gone through 0-8. When I tap the opera icon it opens the text file. I have even tried it with and without the extra quotation marks.
What am I doing wrong?

Did you also try the hacked JAR file I linked to? It WILL work if you deploy it locally and manually set the Blanket model.

Can you post the link? I can't seem to find it

2 Questions

1st, how do you clear the recent programs that appear when you click the start button?
2nd. can somebody explain to me what you do to edit a registry. download the editer to my pc but then what?

Please use the forums search function. I found a few posts relating to clearing the recent used programs in the start menu. Look at this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325396&highlight=clear+recent+programs
There are programs that run on your pocketpc to edit the registry, Resco Registry Editor, for example.

Search for "ClearTemp".

o.k., found cleartemp, works good, but anybody else for my second question?

I already answered your second question. You can get a registry editor like Resco Editor in either cab or exe form. If its a cab, copy it to your phone and install. If its an exe, activesync to your phone and then run the exe on your computer to install it.

last2kno, do i install the reg editor to the phone and use it there or leave it on the computer and edit the phone that way?

Ramsport your sig is perfect!
Edit: Here is a tip from a web surfing pro! Get Google toolbar, then whenever you see someone say something you dont know or mention a name of a program or a term. Highlight the words in question > right click > Search Google for "XXXX"
You will get answers to your questions in seconds, rather then waiting for a response, hours or days.

How do I link ifonez icons to built in apps?

Hi
I am new to this forum and to HTC. I have set up my new phone with S2UL, Ifonez and Icontact. I have got a number of my apps working fine from Ifonez but I cant seem to find the files or commnads to load Windows Mobile 6 built in applications such as the following
Communication Manager
Task Manager
Programmes.
I have been searching through Google and these forums in order to find out but cant seem to find anything, so sorry if this is an obvious question.
I am also using Icontact Burt edition which is mostly working fine. However I am finding one or two contacts are displaying underneath the top bar so that I cannot really make out the entry. I only discovered it by searching for an entry that I knew was there but couldn't see in the list. Icontact seems to display a screen at a time rather than a continuous list so I am finding it difficult to see who these entries relate to. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Greg

Thanks for the quick reply.
If I understand this correctly I create a text file with the appropriate code in it and then rename the file with the extension lnk. Then I point one of ifonez launch icons towards this file. Is that correct?
If it is I still cant seem to see a code for Communication Manager or to open the Programs folder. Have I misunderstood?

You would simply make a .txt file with the "data" of the thing you want to link to, save the file, and then change the extension of the file from .txt to .lnk.
For example, to create a shortcut to Settings>System>Memory>Main, you would make a text document with this in it:
20#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4
Save the file as "Memory", and then use a file explorer/manager to change the extension from "Memory.txt" to "Memory.lnk"
The link to the Comm Manager is: 39#"\Windows\CommManager.exe"
The link to the Programs folder [in the Start Menu] is 40#"Windows\Start Menu\Programs\"

Sorry for the delay in replying, I have been caught up with work and unable to look at this forum until now. So thanks for your reply it was really helpful.

S2P is Slide 2 Play by A_C - Very cool IPhone style music player = You obviously didn't search too hard as A_C is one of the most popular developers on this forum - He also created S2U2 and S2V . SEARCH
Icontacts is a phone contacts manager - I havn't used it yet but I read that it is good - Available - SEARCH
GSLIDE - ? Something to do with sliding screen or something perhaps - GOOGLE it. You might not even need it.
Why don't you install them to find out yourself what they are? Where did you get these? Obviously not from their own threads / sites otherwise you would know what they are = Instructions / readme's are available in their appropriate threads / pages - SEARCH

sos, using my dads account, not used this type of forum before.
I am trying to install them, several done no problem, but the ones i mention have NO setup or install file, they just seem to be a bunch of random files with no instruction how to install or where to place them on my phone.
Have searched, so far I THINK the prob maybe my tof rom.??????????

They are .cab files. By default, WIndows will treat them as a zip file.
When you download these programs, you will have a ZIP file. Inside this file is usually a readme.txt file and a *.CAB file.
DO NOT open the CAB file. Copy the CAB file to your PDA. Browse to the file in file esplorer on your pda and tap on the CAB file. This will install it.
I just downloaded S2P and it does come in a CAB file as I explained.

There was no readme or text file and if i click on the setup to install it, a load of mumbo jumbo i dont understand comes up

I will google it some more, i cannot find a solution at the minute, because whenever i try to install it just wont do it, i'm not sure whether i have to convert them or not, on all my others like "ifonz" Ive just gone into them and they've installed when i click setup but these havnt, just a load of mumbo jumbo and technical stuff i cant understand

Those are the cabs. Basically don't open the zip file. Just copy the whole zip file to you device. Be sure to remember where you sent it. Then using your device, find the zip file (This is the cab). To install on your device, all you have to do is simply click on it. When you open a cab on your computer using WINRAR or WINZIP it looks like a bunch of mumbo jumbo. Stop opening the cab - Just put it on your device and click

Thanks very much! Ive installed almost all of the programs now, Im not sure what to do with iPodclassic1.0QVGA Is it a skin? Or is it not needed because i have S2p
and is there any good themes i can get to go with my XDA which are Like a dark aero skin? If you dont it dosnt matter
Thanks, Funny keyboard's Son

I believe that the IPodclassic1.0QVGA is a skin for Windows media player. If you have in installed, check out your media player settings / skins to see if it is there.

[Q] Custom Tab

Hi guys,
I don't know if this is the right forum to post on..
but I have a question relating to adding a Custom Tab in TF3D to display a custom program.
Is there an app out there that allows you to add your own custom tab? I would like to have a tab to run a third party app. Or is that a ROM thing?
Do I just change the registry in the manila files?
Also, is there a guide for noobs to understanding how TF3D works? I've had a look at the wiki and it lists all the manila files and their functions, but I'm not sure how they work (e.g.: Can I just 'add' an extra entry into a manila file and get an extra tab?)
Much appreciated if someone can point me in the right direction!

Really??? No one??
Wow....
Okay then, I'll give it a shot myself. I have basically no programming experience (aside from high school VB and a little HTML and I read a little C++ in 24 hours...I got to the 6th hour and got lost ) but it seems to me that editing various manila files (e.g.: 269*_manila) seems to be the way to go.
I'm on holidays at the moment, so I will get to it next week, but here's the plan of attack:
1) Find a manila file that lists the tabs and duplicate a tab entry but change the name (from various online readings it seems like it's 269**338_manila or something)
2) Find all the references and links that manila file has and duplicate those (obviously under a new name)
3) Duplicate the mode9 file, and see if I can't create a replicated tab of an existing tab
4) Change the mode9 file
5) Realise that I don't actually know how to do that, and find out how to use mode9editor as well as learn how to read the stuff that comes up
6) Cry a little
7) Play around some more
Any pointers from people who've tried? Or know more than I do (which, I am guessing, is most of you)
Oh, by all means, try yourself. And then post here.
