Opera Mini CAB for Windows mobile 5/6/6.1
UPDATED 14-May-2009
Updated to Opera Mini4.2 Buid 13918 (20090303)
New JBed 20090216.5.1
two seperate versions for Hi-Resolution and Low-Resolution screens.
Large fonts for VGA devices
Small fonts for QVGA devices
I created this cab to use in my Himalaya & Diamond I keep this in the ExtROM (SD Card) so that I don’t have to re install this every time I hard reset or upgrade my ROM through new builds.
This CAB will install the following software and tweaks:
1. Jbed Java-VM (Latest)
2. Opera mini 4.2
3. Signing Opera mini as trusted(So that annoying confirmation prompt to network
connection and to Saving/uploading files is removed.
4. Direct shortcut for opera mini in Start->Programs->Internet.
Shortcut for Jbed under Start->Programs->Accessories
5. Nice opera icon for the shortcut & to be used in the today launchers.
Pros:
Traditionally to do this all you had to transfer several files and do several taps and clicks on your PPC & PC, but with this you can do them all by just tapping the CAB.
You can add this cab to your Extended ROM or add the files as an OEM to your ROM in cooking, so after each hard reset your favorite browser is available right there. You can simply synchronize the bookmarks in two taps.
You don’t need to install any other JVM, ‘cos this already installs Jbed, the best full screen JVM that also supports soft keys. Try some Nokia s60-v3 games on it…
NOTE: Make a backup of the folder “APPDB” which may either in your Jbed installation folder. If you wish to remove this application and want to restore the previous apps, simply restore this folder.
Happy Installation….
If you are already using Jbed and hundreds of other JAVA software too, you may prefer the tweaks but not to loose the other softwares. If that’s the case you can follow the steps I have described and apply them and copy the Cab in to your Extended ROM so that it will only take effect after your next reset.
Signing Opera mini As trusted…
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. Thank GOD, 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.) Extract the file “sign_operamini.exe”
from my zip to the same folder and run it.
4.) It will patch the selector.utf and create a backup too.
5.) Now replace the selector.utf file in the pocket PC with the patched.
6.) DONE
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 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\jbed.exe -run s0_")
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 Jbed application list. If you install Jbed as a fresh install 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. The last installed MIDlet will have the last index.
So go to any text editor and create the link, the replace the extention TXT with LNK.
A pre-made shortcut file can be found here.
Code:
28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_
Making a icon for Opera Mini shortcut
I have created a icon dll file to be used as the shortcut icon. Copy “ Opera_Icon.dll “ to “\windows\appdb\” folder and add the following part to the end of your shortcut link.
?\Windows\Appdb\opera_icon.dll,0
So the link should be like this,
Code:
28#"\Windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_?\Windows\Appdb\opera_icon.dll,0
I have also attached a .ico file to be used in other launchers.
Opera Mini 4 on Windows Mobile as Default Browser
XDA-Devs forum member shlomki has released the hacks in CAB format so that they’re very easy to install. These CABs are for ARM processors and for Pocket PC only (not smartphones). You can try them too..
• WM5 OperaMiniAsDefaultBrowser - WithoutSelectionDialog.cab
• WM6 OperaMiniAsDefaultBrowser - WithoutSelectionDialog.cab
• WM6 OperaMiniAsDefaultBrowser - WithSelectionDialog.cab
NOTE:
Using the 'WITH SELECTION DIALOG" cab, you get the dialog box to select either IE or Opera Mini as the browser to open the link each time you click on a link in a email, contact or in the messenger.

Is is legal to post a cab installer for Opera mini 4.1 here? I don't wanna get banned....!
The cab will install the following softwares & tweaks...
1.Jbed java VM,
2.OM4.1
3.Signing OM (so that annoying confirmation prompt to network connection & saving files is removed)
4.Opera mini dirrect shortcut in Start->Programs->internet (so that you dont need to open the midlet manager & then click OPERA.
5.Nice opera icon for the shortcut & to be used in today launchers.
Pros:
Traditionally to do this all you had to transfer several files and do several taps on screen. Now you can do them all in one tap.
You can add this in the extended_rom or even cook in your rom to make OM4.1 available through hard resets automatically.
You dont need to install other JVMs after your hard resets, 'cos this cab already installs Jbed.
Cons:
You man have to re install your other java files if you are already using Jbed as your current midlet manager.

But is it Ok to post here???

Stop playing, lol. It's good of you to ask, but of course it's ok to post your 'tweaked' opera mini. I'd love to try it out. Only sheer ignorance and a total disregard gets you banned for xda.
nice dude
So, Opera Mini 4.1 CAB for Windows mobile?
Dude,
Waiting for you to post your tweaked cab files. Appreciate your help
Mohan
yes please!
Since you haven't tried to hack apart the EXE, and since it's free for download, I think it should be fine. Although, just to be sure, I'd host it somewhere other than on this site, so Opera can't try and destry XDA-Devs...
Is opera Mini better than Opera Mobile??

That depends
Opera Mobile is a stand alone, high memory high bandwidth program that renders web pages as the are. Opera Mini runs within a Java program and renders pages for better display on a small screen. Opera mini also has much smaller bandwidth and memory usage.
Begging you to post it, it would make my life allot easier.
Opera Mini also synchs its bookmarks with Opera 9.5 beta on the desktop. For me that's a big plus point.
Waiting for this tweaked Opera Mini cab is almost as exciting as waiting a new L26 or Dutty Diamond rom, lol.
A howto to remove the security message when Opera Mini tries to connect to the Internet would be also fine!
I have make this from a half year for German Users but now without Esmertec Jbed, because Esmertec have send a mail and say that this is not legal.

Two questions, do these cabs enable you to do simillar things indicated in the first post in this thread? I'm not home to use google translator to interpret what's being said referring those cabs. Also, can you post these cabs here because I did notice that one of those cabs is just over 3MB. I'm assuming that it's a tweaked Opera Mini 4.1.

What's the build of the Jbed is? Is it the latest(20080428.2.1)?

It's v2.1 (20070802). I prefer that version, because if I use 3.1 (20080222) the cab will be over double the current size. When the new Jbed is installed in the SD card (which is not possible in the older versions) I got some problems with Opera Mini. As the new Opera mini frequently access the file system but not in a constant manner, it freezes for about 5sec once a while. This is because it cannot access the SD cards as fast as the main memory. This is not there if you use a expensive, good memory card. But most of us Sri Lankans (asians) go for cheape onces more...
ok, thanks for the post. You posted two cabs, so which one do I have to install if I want Opera Mini as my default browser and it creates an icon in my ppc folder? The opera mini cab or the Opera Mini Tweaks cab. I'm under the impression that I dont have to create any mortscripts, etc, and hoping all I need to do is install a cab. thanks in advance.

i need help tryin to change my IE web browser to mini opera. i need the shortcut to direct me to the opera browser. any way of doing this>? please help its annoying to load it from java. thanks
I used this for getting a shourtcut: http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?p=995880#post995880
If you need another version of Jbed: http://eazyvg.linuxoss.com/2007/10/17/java-midlet-manager-on-htc-artemis-wm6/
After install of the new Java, overwrite the old Java shortcut with the shortcut from the programms folder (with totalcommander for example).
I use this, too.
But I don't know how to change the default browser to the new opera mini.
Edit:
Here's the way how you can use Opera mini as default browser

This thread belongs in the Titan forum...not Titan upgrading...
I am still new to the forum, but love the work of Erofich and Gnat especially....my StarTrek is like new!! However, I have tried more than one cab and version for the Adobe LE, but no matter with one (currently the 2885XX version) PDF attachments and files will not open in Adobe LE. I have to open Adobe LE first and then browse to the file, which I had to save to Main Memory or Storage Card, in order to open and view the file. I presume there is some registry entry not made. I am not into hacking my registry, so is there a CAB which will associate the files?
Cingular 3125
WM 6.1
you can use total commander and change the file association
Thank you for responding so quickly. However, what is Total Commander? Where is it? And if it is a program to be installed on the client, not sure that is possible.....the Smartphone is mine and I receive a stipend for it from the company, but the desktop is the company's. That is why CAB's are preferred.

Hi Guys,
Those of you who have downloaded and installed Opera Mini, may find that every time you are accessing Opera Mini, jbed asks for your permission to allow internet access. This happens because the Opera Mini midlet that is downloaded by default is not signed by any signing authority and hence is 'untrusted'. If you do not want that, there are two methods to do this:
1. download and install GC java pack (which is a right option if you do not have java inbuilt into the ROM you are using, but may cause problems if your ROM already has Java).
2. Fire up Internet Explorer from your mobile and goto mini.opera.com. Now it will ask you to download the latest version. Do NOT click on that hyperlink, instead you will find and option which says "download another version", click on that hyperlink and now you will be presented with the signed versions of Opera Mini. Choose a version which suites you (in my case I used Versign as well as "Multiple certificates" without any issues).
Sorry if it has been discussed before.
thanx for dis !! i use opera mini java midlet will try dis multiple certificate version
opera mini really reduces the gprs cost by compression of pages thnx again for d trick!
Removing untrusted rom jbed
hi guys you can also use this program to make any java app trusted in jbed, found it somewhere on the forum...
Just connect gene to computer and run the exe
Update: Fix found thanks to EmporerBen @ the Evernote Forums.
Replace the \Windows\webview.dll file on your phone with the one in the zip file attached to this post.
[Original post]
I've started this thread to try and get to the bottom of a bizzare issue with the Evernote WinMo application on 6.5.5.23xxx builds.
Evernote is (usually) an excellent, free note-taking application that syncs to the web. You can sign up for a free acount [here]
The issue is that in newer builds of Windows Mobile 6.5.5, you can't see the contents of any of any notes. They all show as blank.
The notes show fine in the list and thumbnails view, but not when they're opened to view the whole note.
The issue is present on multiple devices and from multiple ROM chefs.
From my research, I think I've narrowed the first report of the issue down to build 23519 or there abouts.
Older, builds work fine. I've confirmed build 6.5.5.21895 (the one with the start button still at the top) works.
---------------------------
I've tested this on my own device, an HD2 and found:
Not working:
Energy.Leo.23544.Sense2.5_with_Cookie_HomeTab.Mar.11
Energy.Leo.23544.Sense2.5_with_MaxManila.Mar.11
Energy.Leo.23544.Sense2.5.Mar.11.7z
Working:
Energy.Leo.21895.Sense2.5.Mar.11.7z
Energy.Leo.21895.Sense2.5_with_Cookie_HomeTab.Mar.11
Energy.Leo.21895.Sense2.5_with_MaxManila.Mar.11
---------------------------
Evernote have said that the issue is because the newer builds use Opera as the default browser, but this is not true.
Both sets of ROMs have Opera 10 (beta 3 I think) set as the default browser, and Evernote works on the v21895 ROMs, regardless if the default browser setting is IE or Opera.
I've logged a support issue (I'm a payed member) with Evernote, and the issue is being discussed in their forums as well.
Does anybody have any ideas about either a fix or troubleshooting this further?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just wanted to second this
I have been enjoying the crap out of this new build, and then......No evernote.
Evernote is like, the App that i use most heavily.
Seems i have to scoot back down to the 219 build unless someone has some insight.
Thanks,
Just echoing this, it's a big problem ... Works fine in pre-6.5.5 releases.
Does anybody have a link to download for WM? I tried several times and it doesn't work at all.
EmporerBen found the solution here:

Updated OP with fix
I am not able to paste webview.dll into the windows directory. I tried using Resco and still I am not able to backup a copy of the original file or paste the new version into the directory.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
If someone can make it into a cab file that will work (i.e. will automatically update the dll for you without you having to get too clever).
I think (not tested it!) this is a cab file containing the updated webview.dll:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624465
but that's certainly what the thread suggests and I've checked out the setup.xml in the cab file - <characteristic type="webview.dll" translation="install">
The problem for those who are using WM6.5.x ROM's and have webview.dll stored in ROM, is that it's unable to replace the file with older one.
Found an ugly but effective solution to resolve this issue without reflashing.
1. Download webview.dll from the first post.
2. Rename downloaded webview.dll for example as webvie1.dll.
3. Put it in the Windows directory.
4. Open your favorite registry editor (I use SKTools Lite), find entries with webview.dll and change them to webvie1.dll.
5. Soft reset.
It works for me on ETEN Glofiish x610 with cooked WM6.5.3 ROM and resolved problems with Evernote Mobile and Blade WiKi.
(sorry for my english)
I've been looking for this similar problem but not found.
I use a T-Mobile SDA II and I do a hard reset on my T-mobile
through a clear method of storage, after a hard reset process is completed and entered into the home screen, opera my default T-Mobile can not be opened " Can't find opera (or one of its components)" and then I see the program files and it did not exist.
occurred opera broken link on the home screen, I try to install opera mini and opera 8.65 but the icon remains in the home screen can not be opened and delete then how do I fix it
may remove or replace the broken link opera his pacth new link
thanks
Thread moved to Hurricane forum.
Copy the .lnk file for the program you want to launch (e.g. Opera) to the name "Short_AP1.lnk" and move that file to the \windows directory.
