(MY) MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH: now, you can use Opera Mini as the system-level Web browser!

[Menneisyys]

Menneisyys, thanks for sharing your research with us!!! It's all cuz of you that I keep perpetually enhancing my scripts, I want my life back

I agree with tmknight. I have a separate thread for my stuff. It makes it easier to maintain by editing. I post something here when I release a new version otherwise it's clutter.

OK guys, added a lead to the thread starter post.

anyone with c++ skills?

As far as i can see the default setting for both the mort and the c++ varies depending on when the application was added to jbed, (ie if it is the first app you ever added will be s_0 if it is the second s_1 etc. which means this will vary for everyone.

have tweaked the c++ as easier to hexedit.

1/ open and install the cab
2/ copy the exe from the seperate folder (the default for the cab is s_0, so start at s_1?) and paste into windows, overwiting the original
3/ try an email link
4/ if does not work try the next exe

i,ve edited and signed up to s_6 so should work for most. and quick and easy to do

with the fact that this can be set as default for email, you can upload and download, and it's faster than the 4.0 ver, i gotta admit i'm impressed. works well for a beta

think this is my new browser

this is the limit of my skills with c++, but had a question. both the Mort and the C++ work in the same way. click on an email link and the script auto opens jbed and the 4.1 midlet.

is it possible by using this to auto open the midlet when jbed is selected directly?

for example, i have edited the lgmenu and set the link on my cube so the internet explorer links to jbed. this works fine but i then need to click on the 4.1 midlet to open it. so in essence its 2 presses instead of one.

this would be more effective if when we select the jbed link, 4.1 auto opens.

(yes i know a lot of folks have other midlets. but suspect there are those like me who don't)

if anyone can help edit the c++ option, (attached again) or put together a small c++ app to do this i would be grateful.
i don't use the mort version as, overall the c++ takes less space than Mortscript and the mort opera app combined on my dev.

Cheers

Chris

JZ SmartMort v1.2 Release - THE MOTHER LOAD

Announcing JZ SmartMort v1.2, just released. This is the one to stop the DEFBROWSER problem, it also uses badbob001's pixel seeking logic. I tested on a bunch of platforms like WM6 WM5 & PPC 2003. You will love this one release notes below.

Get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=382043 or on SourceForge


v1.2 *** 2008-04-13

- Added badbob001's superior logic for pixel seeking instead of arbitrary pauses.

- Wrote a .Net executable to deal with the DEFBROWSER & MSPIE issues with running MortScript and passing command line arguments - yeah baby! WM5 & PPC 2003 will need .Net Compact FWK 2.x and above, WM6 works out of the box.

- Added a JBed troubleshooter to the Install script. It checks registry and Start Menu shortcuts. It does not fix anything automatically but does report findings back to you. I saw problems when people try different CABs of JBed versions.

- Added device Unlock/Lock capability to Install script. JBed install errors on WM6 emulators until registry is manipulated. If fails, search web for SDA Full Application Unlock.

- Added ability to set a default browser through the Install script, no manual script editing required.

- Fixed UTF file parsing and stripping quotes from jbed command.

- Dropped TAO Intent support - too slow and seems to fail to install on WM6 emulators.

- Dropped Opera Mini 2.0x support - hard to test pixels because it's white and full screen.

Is the answer on this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380504&page=2

It talks about links (shortcuts) and modifying them in a text editor.

Hello!

Tvos

My script pack has an option to "fix icons/extensions" which will put it all back to IE defaults. I developed that piece after a lot of research, ever since I tried installing Opera 9 and realized how much stuff they changed in the registry in attempt of becoming the "default" browser on my phone.

My signature below has the links to my script pack.

 

[tvos]

this is what I had to do in order to have outlook recognize the links as IE browser.

I had to change the following registrykeys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\wsp\Shell\Open\Command
String Value (Default) = iexplorer.exe %1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\ EFBROWSER
String Value 0 = Pocket IE
String Value 1 = :MSPIE

Now, I want to have net front as the main browser that links will open from outlook. Do I just replace the iexplorer.exe with netfront.exe and call it a day?

please advise and thank you,

tvos

JZ, how come there were never any replies to this?

I am looking for all the features you speak of here. seems that everyone is. So i'm just asking the obvious question: Is your solution set still the best compensator (for what windows lacks) on the market? It's totally odd that there would be no comments... but then again, I have seen threads with great information just scroll off the page....

thus this posting... anyone have any feedback re JZ's scripts for use with Opera Mini ?

Major Breakthrough does not work when Opera is on storage card

Major Breakthrough does not seem to work when Opera is on the storage card. I assume that is the reason it doesn't work on my HTC Touch Pro 2, WM 6.1.

 

[EngineerMind]

I Just updated my "SkweezeIt!" app so that when you click on a link in an RSS reader or an email, it will prompt you with:

1) Launch IE normally.
2) Run URL through Skweezer.com proxy using IE.
3) Copy the URL to the clipboard, then launch the new Opera Mini for Windows Mobile, then you can "Paste" the URL into the url box of opera mini.
4) Abort the clicked on URL.

I'm not sure if this fits in with this thread, but it might.

I have an HD2, which comes with Opera Mobile 9 as the default browser.

As Opera Mini opens much faster, I thought it would be nice to have it as the default browser.

IMO, that advantage would not only be for opening web pages. A lot of help files, etc. in WinMo apps come in the form of .htm files. It would be nice to click on one of those links, and see that help file there right away, rather than wait several seconds for Opera Mobile 9 to start up. (IE starts up faster than Opera Mobile 9, but I am having trouble with its text formatting, usually way too large, no good word wrap,etc.)

I should mention that the Opera Mini I have installed is the native WM beta 5.

So, I tried the following--With Resco Explorer, I navigated to a local .htm help file in my Windows folder. With a hold-press, I got the context menu, and chose "Open With..", then chose Opera Mini.

Strange result. Opera Mini started, but it did not open the file I selected at all. It just went to its start page, with its speed dials.

Is Opera Mini incapable of opening up any other way, than opening its own start page? (Unfortunately, it gives you no choice of any other kind of start page even, and Opera Mobile 10 as well. Even for its speed dials, I would prefer a text listing as in Opera Mini 4. But that's besides the point.)

That makes me wonder--how could Opera Mini be used as a default browser, if it will only start with its own start page? If you click on a link in an e-mail, it will not open that link, but will go to its start page. If you open a local .htm help file (also part of the function of a default browser), it won't open that page, but its start page instead!

Well, I assume you folks have probably found a way around that problem, with the scripts and such. Could anyone explain though, why when I selected an .htm file on my phone, and chose "open with Opera Mini", Opera Mini started, but did not open that page at all?

The new Opera Mini 5.1 (released yesterday) for windows mobile now supports being the Default Browser!!! (allows passing it URL via the command line)

I just updated my app "John Cody's Skweezer" so that when you click on a URL in an email or RSS story, it will pop-up with a menu that allows you to launch that URL in the new Opera Mini, or Pocket IE, or even through skweezer.com - have fun!
