I really like opera mini and google local, but its a bit of a hassle to get to them. I know I can make a shortcut to the midlet manager, but I'd like to be able to link to the individual files. I tried making shortcuts to the .jar and .jad files in the Application Data\Tao....... file, but that just tried to reinstall the midlet.
Did you try to use launchers like cLauncher?
You probably need to make a shortcut to the midlet manager with command line properties to the specific midlet.

Here's a thread that's as close as a shortcut that's suggested.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=226466#226466
Hope that helps.
FYI, I gave up using the midi and now using opera instead of the mini.
How would I do a command line link to the midlet through the mamager? (\windows\jmm.exe" opera mini) doesnt work, tried (\windows\jmm.exe" operaamini) too because that was the name of its folder. it loads the manager and then gives "error, cannot install midlet"
I sent an e-mail to TAO and they told me to contact Cingular (I use an 8125). Spent 45min with cingular support and all they came up with was a number to call HTC. Spent 30 min with HTC support and they told me to talk to TAO. Maybe this isn't possible?
guttrhead: how do you normally launch a midlet? I never use java so can't recall. Do you double click it or go to the midlet manager to load it?

"... jmm.exe" -rOpera Mini,Opera Software ASA,Opera Mini
Hi, I use a magician , the shortcuts you have given do not seem to work. I have tried various combinations like within quotes and what not. What happens is that when I invoke this shortcut, the Midlet Manager Window opens very briefly for less than a second and closes immediately.
Anyhelp would be appreciated
Thanks
any solution for this? (I'm using opera mini 4 beta)
The nearest solution I can come up with is using mortscript. You can launch a mortscript like any other program and you can have it open the midlet manager and start the midlet. It would be based on keypresses though, so it could break if you installed more midlets.
Got midlet shortcut to work
Go to jmm.exe and hold down on the icon of opera - move to about and copy down the information.
Your link should read:
"\windows\jmm.exe" -r"[INSERT NAME OF FILE like Opera Mini or Opera Mini 4.1]","Opera Software ASA","[INSERT DESCRIPTION OF FILE like Opera Mini 4.1]"
The end result for me (after I renamed the midlet to Opera Mini from Opera Mini 4.1) was as follows:
"\windows\jmm.exe" -r"Opera Mini","Opera Software ASA","Opera Mini 4.1"
That should work.
I would to try opera mini, but on the official site I can't understand wich version is the best for the HD:
http://www.operamini.com/download/pc/htc/
Dude the HD comes with Opera installed? I believe you can upgrade the version 2682 that comes installed to version 2745. check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442252
Is Opera mini somehow better or different to Opera Mobile???
Just installed opera mini on my blackstone.
and it works like a dream.
its runs so much faster than the full version its almost unbelievable! the text might be a bit on the small side, but the pointer comes in handy for all that.
just doing some tests on the the independant website. downloaded, rendered and displayed in about 7 seconds. compare that against the full opera where your looking at about 20 seconds for the whole front page to display.
the mini version also offers proper double clicks for links and none of this zooming in and out by accident malarky.
get onto it. you won't regret it.
for the record installed the PPC600 Mogul version and everything looks great.
IIRC opera mini pre renders everything through their servers?

which versione doo you use? could you link me pls?
I think that is faster that normal opera and more suitable for gprs and 3g navigation than normal opera, isn't it?
in blackstone should be preinstalled opera not opera mini
yes, I'm sure. for me the mini version is far superior than it's big brother (Full RRS support for starters - yes i know the blackstone has the RSS hub, but this isn't linked to full opera browser - so not much use really).
there will be some sites that work better on the full version, but as far as my testing today has gone, all of the sites i used look and perform better in the mini version.
matthoy said:
yep.
and it looks great on the touch;s big screen.
i used it a lot on my e650 (suffered from a lot of image duplication when wrapping the page to the screen) but not on the touch, it's great!

Opera mini is great if you have slow connection(GPRS only), it is very fast, much faster browser than opera mobile. BTW original opera mobile freezes very often on my HD.

I woult to know one thing:
why this versione htc_ppc6800_mogul is the best for blackstone?
do you think will be released a dedicated version of opera mini for blasktone?
Mini Is Mini!!
to me..mini isnt worth it. TOO SMALL, not that much faster either. I cant find a zoom either.
After regular Opera, need jewelers loupes to read it.
Have to use stylus....blah blah...no way
Hell
I like the MINI - very fast
BUT
Does anybody know a trick to make the Font bigger ?
The menu is so small - even with the settings set to biggest Font
Thank you for help
Now why doesn't Opera Mobile have a function to zoom out to a total overview like mini does. I'm sick of spending 5 minutes scrolling down a long page with all the annoying f***** lockups!!

There is one version of opera mini only. The only small differnce on some versions is that some versions are signed for differend java runtimes. That means you dont have to grant internet and storage access all the time. but the browser itself is allways the same - i even use i on a very low end mobile motorola L6...
There wont be dedicated blackstone version, but maybe they will increase the fontsize with comin up more and more VGA and WVGA devices

From what I know, the opera mini goes through operas server which compresses the web sites and reduces the gprs cost very much compared to the full opera!
I can't find in opera mini how to enable the zoom button...is it there?
Opera mini - full screen?
Hi!
One question concerning opera mini - does it run in full screen on the touch hd?
On my htc X7500 there are the operating system bars above and under the java runtime so opera mini cannnot use all the display and run in full screen mode
Could someone please post a photo of the HD running opera mini with a web site like cnn.com loaded?
thanks!

yes it's full screen.
By the way, I have problems with entering address, because no keyboard is available. How do you do it guys?
Hi,
Yeah, I know that HD comes with Opera 9.5; and it is a much better browser than Opera Mini; but I am based in India. And here 3G is still in infancy; and we have to reply on EDGE for connectivity.
Now my HD has come pre-installed with Esmertect JBed Build ID: 20080418.2.1; and I was able to install Opera Mini easily on it and it is working fine. But every time I connect it to internet, it ask permission from me twice. I faced the same problem with my Palm Treo 750 (running Windows Mobile 5.0) and there I used a fix to change selector.utf and it worked fine.
But this method isn't working on HTC HD; and what is more, when I copy the modified selector.utf, it's size is 343 bytes, but it is changed to 340 bytes by itself.
Please tell me how I can do this? It is really irritating to click so any times to access net; on my Plam Treo, I have assigned the side button to open browser and it took me two click to open a site in my bookmarks, on HD it takes about 6-7 clicks :-(
Thanks

Hi,
Got it working!!! By default http://mini.opera.con installs an unsigned version of Opera Mini, which does not give an option of always providing access. I installed a Verisign signed version, and got an option to give access to Opera Mini always
And after that I created a short cut to launch Opera Mini (JBed + Suite1), and brought it to the program menu. Now I can invoke Opera Mini in two taps (one of Windows icon, and one on Opera Mini launcher), and it connects directly, without asking for any permission.
BTW, due to HD's high resolution screen (480 X 800 pixel), even very small fonts are crystal clear and easily visible, making the browsing experience terrific.
Cheers

I just installed this, and i must say its much nicer than the default that comes with the TP2. But theirs a few things.
1. I cannot find the program to launch it again after i close it. When i look under the drop down of programs running, all thats listed is "Java FX", which when clicked, does take me back to the browser. Is their not its own icon? Or is their a way to link the new one to the "internet" tab in Touch flo?
2. Is their any way to keep it from poping up its own software keyboard?
[edit] Ok.. someone posted this solution::: Disable Inline Editing in Settings\Advanced...
3. When i type in the address bar, it sometimes, double types letters. Very annoying.
never mind
beta 5 unfortunately has problems with switches from landscape to portrait and vice versa.
when i pull out the keyboard in oder to type something of course the screen rotates. In about 50% of all cases the browser UI does not follow the rotation, but the screen just turns white.
opera 4 has no problems with screen rotations.
Java
Posted this question in another thread too but seems more appropriate here:
I came from the Mogul to the TP2 so I'm not so sure how to install and run Opera Mini 5. I'd like to try it, but do you still need a Java applet launcher to run it? Or can you just run it on the TP2 if you put the .jad and/or .jar files somewhere? Thanks.

Follow the instructions on the opera website:
"To try Opera Mini 5 beta, simply visit the address m.opera.com/next, using your phone’s default Web browser."
in case the OEM of your phone pre-installed a suboptimal java runtime environment (or even none) try this:

LOL, that link redirects us to this topic...
That said, I also have some minor problems with the new opera mini 5 beta. It look way more slick then the standard version of Opera, but there are a few things:
1. Just like Lyian stated, I as well hate the opera interface keyboard popping up and would really like to turn off this feature.
2. When I slide out my keyboard, the java applet notices this action and tells me to restart opera mini 5 :S (using JBlend, standard application deliverd on my tp2)
3. I would really like to have the possibility to make a shortcut to opera mini beta 5 in the start menu.
4. Everytime I restart the mini-browser, it asks me if it may connect to the network. I would really like to have the mini-browser never ask me this again.
Now I do remember that there were some solutions to my little problems mentioned above. With the old opera mini there were some tweaks that offered an solution to point 3 and 4, but I can't find them anywere. Does anybody know if they work as well for mini 5, and where I can find them? Does anybody have an solution to the other problems?
Thanks in advance,

use jbed instead of JBlend. JBlend can not handle screen rotation at all (no matter whether the java application can or not).

use jbed and make a link in the startmenu folder to the jbed executable with the parameter "-run s0_".

When I use the keyboard for typing an URL it results in a URL like xda-dddddevelopersssss.com or xdaaaaa-devvvvvelopers.commmm. I don't have any problems with the keyboard in other programs.

Disable Inline Editing in Settings\Advanced...
I just started playing with Mini 5, and it's freaking awesome with esmertec jbed. It's got the speed of Opera Mini, but it has some degree of flicking and it can copy/paste text! Mini 4.2 allowed you to copy and paste text when you switched to text entry mode, but you had to change the keyboard to the old full keyboard to utilize CTRL C and CTRL V. I can now highlight text on pages. Plus tabbed browsing! Remarkable.
I looked for a signed version of 5, but I couldn't find it (I was able to install the signed version for 4.2). Is there a trick I'm not aware of?
Mini 5 works for some of the forums I visit. I was unable to post in the Yuku forums with 4.2, and it would format oddly unless I was in mobile view. Screen transitions are a lot snappier.
I've never had any luck with screen orientation transitions with Opera Mini, so it's not a big deal for me. I'm used to using it exclusively in portrait mode anyway.
I think I've found myself a new browser. Anyone have any tips or tricks to share?
ETA: I'd love to get the flicking speed higher.
Does anyone know how to get the clock/time to show on the top border/frame? It's on Opera Mini 4.2 and it'd be cool to have it on this browser also. Thanks in advance !
Has anyone here use the service Logmein ( https://secure.logmein.com/US/home.aspx ) with your HD2 ?
The iphone can do it, but I was wondering if the HD2 can do it also. I want to remotely control my PC at home when I am away using the HD2.
They've never made a compatible AX control for the current versions of IE or Opera that come on the HD2, so I'm afraid you have to forget about Logmein. I was gutted about that, but soon got over it when I started using Remote Desktop instead.
Give that a go - it should already be on your device. (Don't forget that you'll need to ensure your PC will accept incoming RDP connections, and you'll need to allow it through any firewall(s) you have - port 3389.)
You can use IEToggle (http://discussion.treocentral.com/treo-pro/177752-toggle-between-pie-ie6-free-app-cab-file.html) to switch back to old IE (Pie) style.
I use Opera as my main browser, and use old IE for logmein.
You use the toggle once, and it stays on the old version of IE until you ise the toggle program again.
With this (and the RACtrlCE.cab from logmein), it works perfectly on the HD2 (at least for me).
Wish they had a standalone app, but I find this program smoother then using RDC for a home laptop.

I thought the keyboard didn't work. That was the reason I didn't use an old version of IE. Is this now resolved?

I had the same problem, keyboard not working in PIE and logmein but the SWYPE keyboard works OK. So now I just switch to that to use logmein. Works well but not ideal I'll admit...
Use the client
Hi there,
Well I am using the client, available at https://secure.logmein.com/US/labs/.
It works like charm on my hd2.
sonix
I'm just able to find Hamachi2 cab at that address... I think this topic is about usig the "basic" remot control service, i.e. LogMeIn Ignition client for Windows Mobile
Anyway, having an hamachi client can ease the life with RDP
Opera 10
What are u talking about?
Opera 10 works fine with log me in. Rom version: 1.66.482.1
No need to toggle with IE....
Just ignore the message "To get the best experience...."
yup, using opera 10 (has flash support), i can use logmein without installing extra software.
i have no idea how it works before, but a few things i've noticed...the remote desktop shown on screen is nothing but a bitmap, so it's not interactive. so everytime i do an action that changes the screen, it will redraw the entire screen (and it's quite slow).
i can do left clicks. no idea how to mimick a right click.
you can send input text by using the textbox on top of the screen (then click send). and send special keys that are listed on the dropdown menu.
in summary, it's working but pretty limited.
