Mobility Site - View Single Post - Opera Mini 4.1 beta released

UPDATE (04/12/2008):

1. I've continued using the current 4.1beta on my BlackBerry 8800. No lockups at all so far - as opposed to 4.0. Certainly VERY good news - the pretty frequent lockups with 4.0 were quite a pain in the back.

2. Several people have asked how the signed version of 4.1b should be used on Symbian S60 devices, particularly because previous posts (see for example THIS) in the official Opera Mini forum referred to earlier S60 versions. It's pretty simple: After deploying, go to Applications / App. Manager, scroll down to Opera Mini 4.1, press the Action button, select Open and change all occurrences of "Ask every time" (file system read/write operations, that is, "Read user data" and "Edit user data", will belong to this category) to "Always allowed". Then, just exit by pressing the right softkey two times.

BTW, it's also here that you may want to change "Ask first time" to "Always allowed" of "Connectivity" and "Network access" so that, after loading, you aren't nagged for network access permission at all.

3. As far as Windows Mobile is concerned, there is another, new version of Jbed 3.1, this time allowing for being installed on a storage card without any hacking (and, of course, it keeps all the other goodies: sound emulation, M3G etc.). I've very thoroughly tested it on both MS Smartphones and Pocket PC's (WM5 and WM6 alike, including even the latest WM6.1); it worked just great. It's available HERE for direct download. After decompressing the ZIP file, transfer the CAB file to your (WM5+) handset and execute it there.

Note that it doesn't create a link in Start Menu (not even when installed to the built-in storage); therefore, you'll need to manually create it. It's pretty simple: either copy (after, if you install Jbed on a storage card, changing "\Windows\jbed.exe" to "\Storage Card\Esmertec Java\jbed.exe" in it; if you're afraid of manually editing the file, I've created it for you; just right-click THIS and select Download / Save) to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs (on a touchscreen-enabled Pocket PC) or \Windows\Start Menu (on a touchscreen-less MS Smartphone). On Pocket PC's, you can also go the usual way: go to the home directory (for example, \Storage Card\Esmertec Java), highlight jbed.exe, select Copy; go to the target directory (\Windows\Start Menu\Programs or any subdirectory of it) and select Edit / Paste Shortcut. Then, you may still want to rename the just-created .lnk file so that you can remove the "Shortcut to" prefix.
