opera mini works on hpc2000 (and possibly ce.net)

so, opera mini works. you just need to install the correct version of the java midlet environment and manager, IBM J9: j9-midp20-wm2003-arm_22.CAB
it is a wm2003 only installer but it works fine.
hexedit the OS versions of all EXE and DLL files in the J9 bin directory after installation. executabilitycheck works fine for this task. oh and you need aygshell (16.5 kbyte version).
(to change its norwegian menus to english: Start Opera -> Meny -> Verkt?y -> Instillinger -> Spr?k -> English and OK)

J9 works with many of the phone midlet applications as well
will test it on ce.net now.

thanks to TFGBD for his help to locate the right version if IBM J9. it would not have been possible without his help.

now i'm looking forward to the release of the pocketpc version of opera. coming soon. stay tuned

Awesome! little bit jealous for HPC 2.11 users like me bit out of topic, is there any chance to make it works on Jornada 690.

no sorry there's no SH3 version of this IBM J9... at least i don't know of any. but try and search for ibm websphere J9.

ok it works fine on the MP 900C.

NO HEXEDIT needed! and no aygshell. it likes the ce.net 4.2 aygshell present in the ROM of the 900C.

so you just install the cab file and click on opera.jar and that's it...

its very good work. nice!

is opera mini a alternative web browser for the hpc2000 hpj720 ?

try it and you can decide for yourself

it is faster on some pages than IE and i like that. however it won't load every site..

Does IBM J9 support HPC2K MIPS?

J9 users can use a lot of midlets as the Getjar:
http://www.getjar.com/software/Java/All

Download the JAR file of a program.

nice application . Too bad it stores installed midlets under /My Documents/midlets in ram. It would be nice if we could store them in cf so we could have lots of midlets without calculating if they worth the space they aquire.

I searched the registry but couldn't locate any string to modify this. Maybe some hex editing will do. I'll try when I have some free time.

If anyone finds a solution post please.



p.s.

i navigate through lan interface using proxy. opera mini can't work under these terms. so a bit useless to me. or maybe i miss something. found another web browser too. here it is

this version doesn't maybe an older version?? (but opera mini will not run on an older version probably)

Hi cmonex, this looks really interesting and I'd like to try it out but I'm having trouble downloading the IBM J9 software from your link. Downloading starts ok but 'completes' after a random amount is saved. The best I have managed is a few hundred Kb but the download usually finishes after about 10% has actually done.
Operamini.zip comes down fine.
Have you got another link that I can try?
Thanks
Stevie

hmm, something is really wrong there..
i'll upload the file to another server and give you the link.

Thanks cmonex, I'll keep an eye out. I did venture across to the IBM page to try and get it direct but got hopelessly confused by all the different versions.
It's strange as it's just as if the download has completed, no errors etc. I can watch the little green bar slowly moving across as the download progresses and then it suddenly jumps to the end.
Don't know if anybody else has the same problem, it is probably just my PC.
Thanks again,
Stevie

if any of the cabs are named j9-midp20-wm2003-arm_22 you're lucky.. it'll be the right one..
