Opera Mini 5 for wm2003se - PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General

Hi all
This is my first post
I thought I would share this modded opera mini 5 cab for wm2003se
It works perfectly on my Alpine
Enjoy
View attachment mini5_wm2003se.cab

Excellent find - works well.
Had been using the midlet version, this seems quicker.

Thanks
I found that as well
Very smooth and runs fullscreen as well, unlike the midlet version

Is there any way of reducing the font size even more than 'small' ?
I found typing
config:
into the address bar gives some 'power user' settings, but no more luck..
Have found configuration options quite lacking in both this and the java version - maybe I'm missing something.
As you say this runs much smoother and seems faster.. and loads really fast compared to the midlet version..

please make upgrades for wm2003se .... surely most of ppl would like it...

Outstanding!!!
OUTSTANDING!!!
Thank you very much!!!!

Thank you. It's work very well in my XDA IIi.

thx,try it

thank you so much! it works great!

Thanks this is EXACTLY what I needed! I couldn't find any good browser for my Windows Mobile 2003SE PDA, this is it!

great!Thanks very much.I hope that i can see more sofewares shared each other.

Nice to have an alternative browser to IE which crashes on a lot of modern sites.
However, I'm finding that it is very erratic about loading sites straight away -sometimes it takes a few goes or have to shut it down and start again.
Doesn't handle forum replies or webmail very well and no word completion.
But, at least it does load most sites pretty well.
Thanks

Opera Mini 5.1 available for wm2003se.
Or visit m.opera.com using Internet Explorer on your PDA (can't download it with Opera Min Beta).
It'll download alongside your current installation, so your bookmarks, etc won't be transferred over (there's probably a way). Just tried it this morning; not sure which I prefer yet...
Good that they support 2003 out-of-the-box still

The CAB won't open on my XDAIIi (Invalid Windows CE setup file). I'll try via PC later.

Strange... it definitely installed on mine... as you say, see how the PC install goes..

I don't see the XDA IIi listed under supported devices...XDA, XDA II, XDA IIs, XDA III but no IIi...

Amazingly, they actually have an installer for 2003se devices this time. I checked out the m.opera.com site from my WM2003se and there was a mobile 2003se alternate installer!
I installed it on my Dell Axim X50, Windows Mobile 2003se, it works perfectly. Quite a bit better than Opera Mini 5 beta.

Yeah, I installed it. Nice to have an alternative to IE but it still has quite a few false starts when trying to connect.
Imports bookmarks from mini using Opera Link which is good.

opera mini 5.1
Fab!
It has a default browser option!
and works FAR better with forms than 5

Why Opera?

I have Opera on my Kaiser. 26 days to go for free.
But I have problems being motivated to buy the version.
Anybody an opinion?
Have no problems with IE till now. But maybe I am missing some important features.
Huib
Have you tried "Opera Mini" ?
If not, try it, you will never go back to IE
It is super fast, very compact, and works, also with that neat zoom/unzoom!.
Again, the browsing and rendering speed of Opera Mini is superb.
Drag and scroll.
Highlight and copy text
Save images
Successfully renders web pages more frequently than does the IE - IMHO

Try scrolling down a long page with PIE and you will know why Opera Mini is better. PIE almost grinds to a halt after the first screen or two has scrolled up.
EDIT: Update to above entry. PIE now has a fix for scrolling issue - downloadable here: IE Slow Scroll Fix for Kaiser_Tilt.cab

Gotcha!
Tested them both with a longer page and the difference is clear.
Thanks for your input.

Hi!
can Opera-mini and other apps be run from the memory card satisfactorily?
i.e are they slower?
I wonder if my other applications such as Resco Explorer 2007 and Code Wallter can be run from the card too?
Ofiaich
Don't take what I say as gospel but when I had Opera installed on the SD card it didn't function completely correct - like didn't follow email links correctly along with a couple of other glitches etc.
Likewise I have always been a bit hesitant to install things that operate so cloely with the OS, like Resco Explorer, to the card. They have always seemd to work much better on the main memory. Just my opinion.
Thus I have Opera mini and Resco Explorer installed on the main memory while just about everything else I have on the SD card.
jcrompton!
Thanks very much! Sounds good to me, and I have space in the main memory!
I will get on and download Opera mini !

Opera Can Handle Regular Youtube!
Please Dont quote me on this, but if i am correct, Opera (paid version, not mini) can render many types of complicated flash websites including Youtube(Yes the regular one not youtube mobile). I say this because i tested it for myself, a while ago on my mda vario or vario 2 (sorry cant remember). What seemed to be a slight problem though was, it ran out of memory frequently (ram) and as such the program would not start if other applications were running in the background.
Opera users on WM6, your reviews and thoughts on this are much appreciated!

opera mini? that's a java midlet. why wouldn't it work on the kaiser?

OK - so I just figured out how to get Opera Mini work via the Java app under programs -- have you been able to get email links and other http links to automatically be opened by Opera Mini - I made some registry changes to get Opera Mobile to be the default browser, can you get Opera Mini to do that ? (wasn't sure since it is buried as a Java program)

Well you asked for it. I am going to have to quote you. Youtube does not work on my 8925 in Opera, neither the moble specific version (says media file type not supported) nor the full youtube site. Ugh.
I agree that you wouldn't really want to use Opera Mini on the Kaiser....Opera Mobile though is the bomb! I just wish it was free like the Mini version is, but it's good enough to pay for anyway. PIE just is not very good at rendering most webpages.
opera is very good browser but the built in pie some times show websites better than opera example http:\\www.xda-developers.com

I don't agree , it's superbly fast, it's free and it has good viewing settings. For straightforward surfing it's fine. I say give it a try you may be surprised.

Does opera support flash videos?

I just hit YouTube with Opera on mine and any 'watch now' links open the video for streaming in WMP. Is that normal?

Opera Mini 4 Beta 3 is out.

Looks like some great new improvements.
See here.
And it is now saving cookies. I was fed up by entering passwords / usernames each time I visted a site requiring log in.
Hope this time around cookies keep working because they initially did for the beta 2 but after some time it stopped saving cookies.
Opera is a nice alternative to PIE, but has anyone tested Mozila's lightweight minimo http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/ ?
I downloaded it and a few sites tested were great. It has a pretty simple interface and lacks of course many of the options, but is quick.. and free
Make sure that if you updated your selector.utf file for the previous beta (no nags about net access) that you need to do it again.

minimo seems to run slow on my TYTN II. just did a install, tested it on a local website, and uninstalled it immediately
You should read the "Browser Bible" posted in the General forum. It is a very detailed and updated comparo of all the WM available browsers. It includes MiniMo, Picsel, PIE Plus, Opera Mobile, Opera Mini, etc.
And FYI, it doesn't recommend Minimo...
yes... after further testing... minimo is not yet there.... back to Opera
I note that while entering text in Text-Boxes like replying to this thread if the text is longer than a number lines then when you hit the okay button Opera Mini closes itself. No problem if the text is just a few lines long.

Touch screen web browser

There is something about me that doesn't like using Internet Explorer. On my phone (Sony Ericsson K850i) I use the Opera Mini 4 Beta browser and love the way that it renders sites and you can zoom in and out etc...
I installed Opera Mobile on my HTC hoping that it would be exactly the same as mini but I was very disappointed Not only does it not have the text for the soft keys but it doesn't accept touch screen inputs for pressing links and text boxes. Also you don't have the zoom in/out function so you have to see a fully rendered screen or and "everything on one column" rendering that cripples the content.
Is there a decent browser for Windows Mobile? What I am looking for is something that works exactly like Opera Mini but with more compatibility with flash etc...
Any ideas?
At the least I would like to be able to install Opera mini but it comes as a .jad file (Java Midlet?). Is there any way of installing these as my Kaiser doesn't know what to do with the file atm.
Thanks for any help
Oliver
There must be someone out there who uses a browser that they're happy with?
Is there a version of Opera that works with the touch screen?
Thanks
You don't have Java on your phone? Opera mini is free and it is a Java Midlet so you could try and see how you like it without spending any money. There is another free browser that I have called Minimo.
LINK to direct CAB download-- http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/
It isint the perfect browser either but it does alot of what Opera does and lets you set it with preferences too. Give it a shot and see what you think. Don't like it just remove. I will look on my phone to see if I can extract the Java .exe for you.
I use netfront 3.3 its got better functions than PIE and its back and forward functions using your D-pad is very usefull. as for opera if you want it to scroll like opera mini just enable touch and grab on opera v8.65. it will select links as opera mini does it just wont zoom in like opera mini
Ceck out the articles at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Web Browsing, browsers
picsel browseris my fav. look around enough and you'll find it
Thanks for the replies!
I'll definitely have a look round for the browsers you mentioned.
I would much appreciate it if you could provide a Java app to enable Java on my phone too
BTW, I'm using Schap's latest ROM if that helps.
Im a bit confused here about the op. Am I the only person that has a copy of Opera Mobile that does everything that the op said it doesn,t do? Which version of Opera mobile did you try? I use O.M on my kaiser and everything you said it doesnt do, mine does.. Ive got touchscreen interactivity aswell as touch scrolling, i can zoom in and out, 3 can resize the screen format to desk top,just fit and one column. Im runing Opera mobile 8.65 for Windows Mobile Pocket PC. By anychance did you accidentily download the smartphone version?
As above - op must have downloaded opera instead of opera-mini...
I'm posting using o-m and must say it's one of the best if not best browser for the wm platform
WOW!
Just installed Picsel and I love it.
The GUI is a bit dodgy but that's cos it's designed for the clie but I love everything else.
Thanks
(Bit of an effort to find a download though)
Ah, I downloaded the Smartphone version. That's prob why I don't have the touch screen thingy.
BTW Subliminal, there is a difference between Opera Mini and Opera Mobile. Opera Mini is what I have on my Sony Ericsson k850i and I would have thought that Opera Mobile worked similarly. It does all the same things but not as smoothly as Opera Mini.
Opera Mini is for Java based phone apps. Opera Mobile is for WM platform.
Opera Mobile has more functions (I think?)
but one main difference is that Opera Mini is free whereas opera mobile isn't.
A direct shortcut can be created to launch opera mini without the need to load the java midlet first. A quick hex edit can skip the connection permissions and another quick tinker can allow direct links from emails to open in opera mini. Sounds more work than it is.
Ive just been checking out the Netfront v3.4 technical preview
https://www.access.co.jp/english/nfppc/agree_34.html
its alot better than v3.3 and has some very nice features. its got a similar zoom feature to opera mini4 its a scroll and zoom. plus the visual bookmark is nice also. I cant wait for it to go to retail I will be getting it. opera9 will be ready soon also but ive not seen a preview of it yet. from what ive read though its also going to be alot better than v8.65 and incorperate feature of mini opera4 like the page zooming
I've just downloaded opera mini 4 and have installed it onto my phone.
I have one querey.......
when I was instaling it and when I first used it, it say
this program is connecting to .......port 1080...... requires airtime..... you maybe chaged.....
does this mean my phone isn't using the wifi connection when im running opera mini 4?

I'm also using netfront 3.4 since a little time. Very, very nice !
but... I can't use it with a wifi or USB connection (error : TCP connect...) ... Answer acces.co about that but no technical support on this version ;-(

It must be something to do with your settings, Ive just tried it with usb and wifi and both connect fine. Infact it connects quicker with usb than it did with v3.3.

Mmmm... don't reach the solution ;-( , even after modifying the browser settings. Always the same message...
"Cannot load page. Check that you are properly connected to the network. Type : TCP connect"
dolbe, can you give me your settings for this great browser ?
MS DeepFish is the best browser I've seen yet. It's in Beta for now though and has limitations. It's similar to Iphone's Safari - which is great.
Opera Mobile 9 will support zooming, just like Opera Mini. I asked Opera for a release date, but they won't say anything. It's supposed to be released "soon".

HELP with ATT Tilt!!!

Hi, I saw the other day on the internet, the WM6.1 have a very cool internet explorer, that you can zoom out and things like that.
Is it posible to install a internet explorer like that on a ATT TILT wm6 ???
I can do that with Opera Mini it is free just got to www.opera.com on your phone and it will download it. It is a java app so you will have to run java everytime you want to get online but it loads quickly on my tilt so it doesn't bother me. Loads a lot better than IE

thanks it works
My opinion
Personally I never use Internet Explorer unless checking MLB/NFL scores quick.
I use Opera Mini ( http://www.operamini.com/beta/ ) <---- Download here
This is one of the best free browsers out there...again in my opinion. I also like Opera 9.5 (here is the link to the leaked beta version that I use and I love it!!) ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378876&page=10 )
Hope these help. Have a great day

I tried it too. Look at the speedtest via T-mobile GPRS.(first thumbnail)
I can´t beleeve it, but it´s real.
Till now the combination Opera 8.65, Pluscom 54Mbs WLan SDCard, Medion router and 20.000 kBit/s Versatel DSL was the best, but this is the fastest test I ever made.(second thumbnail)
If someone can explain it to me, maybe I beleeve it then.
Btw Pocket IE is really great in defending the last place.
