All the Intent MIDlet Managers 11.x ever released!

[risidoro]

Hi all,
Before Esmertec Java ever came, the only Java midlet manager available (at least on this forum) was Intent's one.

Long time ago i published HERE the first cab-ified version of the 11.x series: 11.1.7.1023. It worked with google maps and opera 3.1 and fullfilled all my needs. I then quit following Intent's further developments until today.

This morning i read this great article by Menneisyys (i have still to find one of his articles which is not great!) and realized that there were two more recent versions of the Intent midlet manager: 11.1.7.1029 and 11.1.7.1034.
In particular, the latest one was already available as a cab but it was not suited for connecting to the net since it prompted asking permission each time a connection was made instead of each session. So using it for browsing with opera mini would have required the user to give his permission every time he opened a page! Even worse that Windows Vista UAC!!!

What can i say? I had to do something! And i was able to re-enable the per-session check!!!

Obviously, the credit for version .1034 should go to dFine (i used his file: TAO_JMM_11_1_7_1034_WM5_Communicator_by_dFine.cab) .
I have only removed the oneshot-only security limitation.

Now, i give you here all the versions of the Intent MIDlet Manager i have: they will all work without prompting you each time. ENJOY!


UPDATE: Thanks to megarek who informed me, i'm happy to publish here a still newer version of the MIDlet manager: 11.1.7.1036!



- Intent MIDlet Manager 11.1.7.1036 Newest release! Can Be Installed in SD Card too. (tested)


- Intent MIDlet Manager 11.1.7.1034 Can Be Installed in SD Card too.

- Intent MIDlet Manager 11.1.7.1029 Can't be installed in SD! Must go to Device

- Intent MIDlet Manager 11.1.7.1023 Can't be installed in SD! Must go to Device

Have Fun!!!



RELEASE NOTES:

Version .0136: while stable with all the midlets i've tried so far (google maps, mobile gmaps, etc), i have had problems with Opera Mini 4 beta2: i'm am not able to quit the program (menu->quit will freeze the midlet manager) and i've experienced random freezes too. I don't know if these bugs were present in release .1034 too.
EDIT: user Menneisyys did not experience this problem with his Universal, so it is probably a rom/device related problem. I'll keep you posted on this.

Version .1034: I don't know if it is a version .1034 specific issue or a problem with opera server but i wasn't able to install opera mini 4 beta2 straight from my ppc. I had to download opera jar file (attached below) in my desktop pc first and then copy it in my ppc.

Great! You're the BEST! Will accordingly update my tutorial.

It's a separate hack by dFine; he explicitly enabled storage card support. This is why his releases are all stroage card-aware.

Yeah, i checked the registry entries in the cab and they all point to %installdir%, it was really a good work from dFine!

thank you. great job

Great post, thank you kindly!

However, I don't mean to nit-pick, but .1034 is not the lastest version. The T-Mobile Hermes ROM (WM6 3.60) comes with .1036 of the Intent Midlet Manager

just to warn you, that one also ask for verification on every network access!

[risidoro]

I have the cab hacked (no security) and ready. I'm testing it right now. Will post in 15 minutes...
