Hey guys,
On my Windows Mobile 6.5.X, using the latest version of Iris Browser (1.1.9), I noticed that the "Navigate" context menu isn't working (at least using classic OS Menus), so I'm not able to bring up any of the navigation features, making my navigation experience quite frustrating.
I know that Iris is old and unsupported, but on my HD2 it's fast, stable and as of today it's the only good Webkit based browser, so I thought to modify the executable to work correctly with WM 6.5.X, and I reorganized the menu structure so that everything should be working.
Here you can find some pics:

And the download link: just unpack and overwrite the original IrisBrowser.exe
Tested working on my HD2 with Dutty's HG WM 6.5.X 23569. Let me know if it works for you
Enjoy
Always on the look out for a good browser. I'll install and post a review for yah tomorrow.
where can I find Iris 1.1.9?
iris browser its dead 1 year ago

Yeah, it's dead, like most of the apps for Windows Mobile today, but it's still a top-notch browser and on my HD2 it outperformss Opera 9 most of the times
You, sir, are a lifesaver. I cannot thank you enough. Iris is the only decent webkit browser available for the moment that has a halfway decent zoom to frame algorithm. It does everything else too, like flash lite, and really only needs a skinning to be up there with the big boys.
I was actually preparing to downgrade my rom to a 6.5 just to get iris to work.
Again, you have my thanks.
Wow Thaanks! Didn't know someone would be dedicated enough to fix this bug
EDIT: out of curiosity, how did u decompile/hack/fix the exe?

Anytime man I'm glad to give something back to the community
When I first used this browser 2 weeks ago, this bug was really frustrating so I started thinking to any possible solutions (except for going back to WM6.5 just for an app ). In the end the simplest was the most effective: I could edit all the resources using ResHacker
If possible I'm also thinking of modifying some other resources to be more finger friendly (i.e. the favourites window), but I dunno if in this case ResHacker will be enough

Thanks Drakknar, this had been frustrating me too. I think to keep the tabs menu item working you have to have it as the 4th item. Here's my version: exe zip.
It's great.
Iris browser has been the only usefull browser for google tasks.
This patch work wonderfull.
Thanks

It really depends on the app itself... Inside some executables you can view an impressing amount of resources, while on others there's almost nothing to edit except from the app icon lol. I guess I was just lucky to be able to edit this kind of resources on this specific app
can't download
I'm having some issues with Megaupload.
Mirrors please. Hope this isn't too much of a request.
Really nice browser.
@JamieKitson, I miss the 'home' function in your menu to go to the homepage.
ppl i need a big favor..... my iris browser crashes.... it says memory exceeds limit.....

pls hlp me....
Can someone who have a copy of menu fixed iris browser 1.1.9 reupload, please?
The megaupload download link is down. :-(
Still out there?
I know this is an old thread, but I'm still using Iris browser and I'm wondering if anyone might have a copy of either of the two modified exe files mentioned in this thread. With the loss of Megaupload, neither link works and an extensive Google search shows no other hosts for the files.
Thanks for any help!
Thanks to Reshack, here is my version of menu fix for IrisBrowser.
Just unrar the file and copy it to your IrisBrowser program folder in your WM phone to replace the original IrisBrowser.exe.

In both Crystal 3 and Mysterious 1.0 scrolling in Internet explorer is very slow. I have not tried Gullum 9 beta so I cannot comment on that one.
The problem is apparent after a fresh flash, or hard reset before installing any application, and remains the same. It is so bad that PIE is almost unusable.
I am surprised that little has been mentioned about this issue.
I stumbled upon a thread on these forums for another device that mentions replacing the webview.dll in the windows folder with the one posted on the forum.
Well it works like magic, PIE becomes smooth and fast.
I would appreciate any feedback regarding this issue.
Well.
I always found PIE very slow. So, this should be the last site you go to using PIE
www.operamini.com
It's just a Java Applet, but it's the best browser ever for any mobile platform as far as I'm concerned! Give it a try. I use the beta version, just add /beta like this:
www.operamini.com/beta
this is an old and real issue mentioned on crystal's thread earlier and, unfortunetly,it's regarded as something trivial.
to my knowledge the sluggish scrolling of pie, other apps like mdict also affected, have existed since roms built on core 18125.
of course certain roms, evo8 for instance, had taken the issue seriously that not only pie but also all apps affected by the symptom have been working like a charm.
i'm glad this REAL issue is singled out.
hopefully someone might help. thanks a lot!
@shylock
do you mind to upload the version of webview.dll u recommend here? thank you in advance!

Sorry there, didn't mean to cause offense. I just don't think PIE is a well thought out browser for Prophet. Also, I didn't know this was related to other apps as well. Which other Apps have you had trouble with?

don't worry^^ your experience about pie is true. i myself browse the internet with opera 8.65 in liue of pie as well.
as to how many apps are affected, i'm not sure but one of the most popular dictionaries in the world--Mdict is certainly confirmed.

I used Resco Explorer to copy and paste. It gives an error warning about possible data corruption, but I tell it to go ahead and soft reset.
can't find the webview.dll anywhere in my windows folder? I am running Crystal V3 with no problems, seems very stable. However, would appreciete any help on this issue - shoudl I just paste into the folder and see how it goes?
thanks for the tip, i was asking in a french forum, and nothing !
IE works like a charm now ....
Can I try it on a trinity ? same problem with IE .....
Thanks Shylock, i'm on V7 FrenchTouch by Xvx, and it works like a charm for me too

I thought you were on Michy's 6.0? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2903206&postcount=1482
Anyway guys, about the applications, I suggest you surf your way to
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/
or
http://pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php
or
http://www.freewareppc.com/
The best thing about having a PPC is that, whatever you want to do, there is probably a freeware program out there to get it done. So to make a list of all the "useful" programs out there would be quite difficult. Everyone's definition of what is "useful" is different. Rather, I would advise starting with what you want your PPC to do, and search for the right program from there.
yea well im testing all of em, michys is very nice but i cant close rltoday app so its annoying. >.<

A newer build...just want to make sure it is ready for general relase.
Installed, so far data and activesync look the goods. Ill test GPS etc over my lunch break.
Some different program icons...what do you think?
Same for me... Data, activesync, and basic functionality looking good so far. A couple of big pluses for me - memory use is only about 33%. It was above 50% on NRG's rom with TF3D 2 (that's not meant as any kind of negative towards NRG, I love his newest rom too, just a comment). And Weather Watcher works correctly. On all other cooked roms I've tried Weather Watcher appears "zoomed out".

A small problem (with a solution). You can't add file explorer as a favorite anywhere in the first two rows of favorites. Or more acurately, you can add it, but it won't launch. The solution is explained in post #500 here:

Try my icon pack I posted a few rows up and it should work without the fix.
Thanks for the solution but it may not be needed with the icon pack.
Please report back.
Thanks!
Yes the date was not changed.
If you are talking about my status icons I may have them done before this build is officially released. If not I will have an add on pack when this is officially released.
Thanks for all the help.
Just flashed your new test ROM. One stupid question - how does the GSensor work? Also the default keyboard does not seem to be of Fuze - guess I need to install the fuze keyboard cab from your other thread.

Go to tools...and in there is a nifty little app to change it.
Not sure what you mean how it works. I believe it is there for apps that use so they can auto rotate.

Regarding the GSensor thing, I was expecting "it is there for apps that use so they can auto rotate" but it is not working for all of the apps. it works for the calculator program but so far calculator is the only program that rotates as it should. I wish my Garmin XT would rotate .. is there any whitelist thing where I need to enter the information of Garmin XT ?
I will keep on testing this ROM and update.

You can use the G-Config program to add programs to the whitelist, available here. Makes adding applications a breeze, hit add new app, open the app and put the stylus in and reset. Works real nice with tf3d too

Downloading it now..
First impressions, very fast, quickly syncing with my Exchange, no flaws found im my first couple of minutes playing with it.

The moment a new build is released, they post about it there. The newest as of today (not sure if they have released a rom for the titan yet) is 21812 but, it seems to change every other day
I've been running 21806 the last few days and it has been great so far.
LOL, 21812 is already out!
Yeah I saw that less than a day after I had my phone how I wanted it. Ugh... it's like waiting for the new CPU or new car model to be released.
I have a question. How are the 6.5 ROM's obtained exactly? I'd like to start getting involved, cooking, etc. Currently running 21812, but don't care for the RAM and battery meters, or the "fave people" plugin.

If you don't like the meters the goto windows\startup folder and delete the two files. dcibattery and qwertymemory

Are you asking on how to create your own rom ? I'm also looking for the way to create my own rom and figure out how to troubleshoot problems with them. A lot of rom creators use PPCkitchen to create there roms by putting in the files for the new builds then building it on there and there is other kitchens for some builds as well.
Where they are coming from ? Chinese or Japanese sites, I forget the link, they have them all listed there, it tends to pop up from those sites, then trickles down to ppcgeeks, then to xda... With some searching in that fourm I linked before, you'll see links to the builds on there.

So these roms still do not work with the camera? I remember reading about it. Is it worth it? I know you have even less memory on startup. I just wish 6.1 would be able to use the marketplace.

They certainly do work with the camera. There are two modes, though:
High Memory Mode -> You cannot use the camera, but you gain an addition 5ish meg of RAM.
Low Memory Mode -> You can use your camera, but RAM is lower.
You can switch back and forth at will with a simple utility in your Settings menu and then soft resetting.
Oh wow that is cool. Hmmm. Maybe I will wait for development when fellow xda members can update an os without clearing any data. But hearing that is tempting. I would probably just leave the camera on. Maybe someone should make a new lighter camera for that mode. In the mean time I will look for some WM6.5 on Titan videos.

I'm sure I've read they have to support HTML5, so anybody know which ones do. HTML5 is very new and AFAIK there is no browser for WM with full HTML5 support, there may be some betas with partial support, they would need the geolocation part of HTML5 to be implemented. I'm about to try Iris now
maybe this'll help some of you (PM by Xenton; thanks!):
I couldn't post this as I'm new here and it has links so here ya go:
Right been at this most of the day now, the most promising course of action would be to google gears which adds geolocation functions to browsers. It only works with very specific browsers though, one being Opera Mobile 9.51 (Presto build 2.1.0+) it's available via Opera's FTP site at ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/winmobile/951b2 download "opera_v9.5beta2_gears.cab" and install launch the browser then goto gears.google.com and click install. It will prompt you to reboot your phone. Now relaunch the browser and navigate to touch.facebook.com try to use places, you should get a warning that your location information is being accessed via gears, click okay and you should be good to go.
I got as far as a suggested list of places for my location but nothing on the screen would respond.

It's been a while since I was trying to get this to working and I gave up, so this information may not be up to date but there were no apps that worked with places, the touch.facebook website did but needed a browser with HTML 5 support, I tried many browsers, finally a combination of browser and addon that should of worked but didn't. I think I'm correct in saying android and iPhone have browsers that work nicely wptg the Facebook touch site but WinMo has neither a browse nor an app that works wptg places. I did give up on this a while bin now, and would love for someone to tell me I'm wrong...
......EDIT: It works!!! I installed 4.1 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6392459&postcount=2 (this is the page the download app button on their facebook page links to) and it prompted me to update to the latest version and then, places was working, just like that amazing, I'm well pleased. Also had a play with the latest better, kept freezing and crashing but it looks very promising, an awesome app!
yeah i was using it for places but now when i go to places it locks up
It's still working for me, try uninstalling and they reinstalling, that might fix it, it is a beta still and is not rock solid stability wise yet.
