Opera Mini, ... on the Z Options

[matrix200]

How does it compare to Opera 7.55?
I am running 7.55 on my C3000 and it is not bad but if i could get AJAX on my Z that would be great
Also how is the speed?

As I mentioned in my followup post, I was mistaken about the AJAX support; if you want AJAX, you would need Opera Mobile, not Mini. Mini seems to be a minimalistic browser aimed at phones.

Thanks a lot for these instructions!
Five remarks:

1. basic operamini works on my Zaurus SL-5500 cacko rom, while advanced doesn't (so if someone is worried that it will not work at all just change to basic option)

2. there are inverted commas missing at one point in the script (after the second-time opera-mini-... should be twice, i.e. "") so it should properly be:

x----COPY----X
#/bin/sh

if [ `which evm 2>/dev/null` ]
then
evm -Xprogress -XappName=$0 -cp "me4se.jar:javapng-2.0-rc3.jar:opera-mini-1.2.2960-basic-us.jar"" org.me4se.MIDletRunner com.opera.browser.Browser
fi

if [ `which java 2>/dev/null` ]
then
java -cp "me4se.jar:javapng-2.0-rc3.jar:opera-mini-1.2.2960-basic-us.jar"" org.me4se.MIDletRunner com.opera.browser.Browser
fi
x----PASTE----X

3. my script filename is simply " operamini " without " sh " as commonly Zaurus executables have no extension, I don't know if it changes anything

4. Obviously remember to change references in the script to the proper filenames - in my case that was opera-mini-1.2.3214-basic-uk.jar

5. I also put the relevant jad file in the same directory - just in case - so try that if else it doesn't work

I'm seeing this when I try to run opera on my 5500 running OpenZaurus

#./opera.sh
/opt/QtPalmtop/bin/evm
---=== ME4SE Version 2.5.1 ===---
Exception in thread "main", java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java/lang/System.setProperty(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;

my script reads

evm -Xprogress -XappName=$0 -cp "me4se-2.2.0.jar:javapng-2.0-rc6.jar:opera-mini-3.0.6540-basic-int.jar" org.me4se.MIDletRunner com.opera.browser.Browser

I had the same error. This topic is old, and I think the me4se.jar that the original posters used was 2.1.3, but you and I mistakenly downloaded 2.2.0

[ShiroiKuma]

Reviving a very old topic, maybe someone still uses this me4se. I'm trying to use it for running some games on the desktop. It works moderately well, however how do you emulate the left and right phone buttons which some games need to carry out certain tasks. It gets stuck and I can't send this left and right button to the app running...

[sdjf]

Can anyone with Sharp ROM or an sl6000 explain where they put all the me4se files? I am trying to get Opera Mini running but clueless even after reading all the posts in this thread.

There are many directories and files in the me4se app, I currently have them in one directory on an SD card, along with the OperaMini jar file, and am thinking of symlinking to them from either /opt/QtPalmtop/j2me or /opt/QtPalmtop/java.

Maybe I should make an OperaMini folder under those, or move all files there until I see what works and then do symlinks? Leaving it all in internal memory gets difficult as I tend to fill up my Tosa with lots of files and run low on free K.

Oh, yeah, I have tried running, and get missing file errors even though I see the file MIDl--- or whatever it is, is somewhere in all those subdirectories.

This may be a silly exercise, though, what we really need is more like Opera 9 or 10, the operamini is like 8.1

Comments, help???

thanks,

More details on my most recent attempt to run:

bash$ find /mnt/card/Programs/OperaMini/ -name MIDletRunner.class
/mnt/card/Programs/OperaMini/org/me4se/MIDletRunner.class
bash$ ./OperaMini.sh
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: .mnt.card.Programs.OperaMini.org.me4se.MIDletRunner
bash$

The file is there, what do I do?

Microemulator might be a better way of running J2ME apps.

Keep the java stuff in its .jar file, and add that to the classpath.

... if you're using a new enough jvm, which that of the Zaurus isn't.

In my experiments, I used j2me-zaurus_1.1.8_arm.ipk, ran it like "cvm -Djava.class.path=me2se.jar:opera-mini.6.5.jar ...MIDletRunner Browser" which gave a window (presumably from me2se, but then still didn't like the java stuff available.

Thank you! But, oh my, this is greek to me, I have not touched the jar file contents. And have no idea what a classpath is or where it is. I have just now read a little bit by googling, but it makes no sense to me.

My command is as follows, what do I change (it is all on one line, browser may make it look like 2 lines)?

evm -Xprogress -XappName=$0 -cp "/mnt/card/QtPalmtop/java/me4se/me4se.jar:/mnt/card/QtPalmtop/java/me4se/png.jar:/mnt/card/QtPalmtop/java/opera-mini-2.0.4509-basic-us.jar"" .mnt.card.QtPalmtop.java.OperaMini.me4se.MIDletRunner com.opera.browser.Browser

This is on my Tosa, Sharp ROM 1.12

I am sorry, please show me what I wrote wrong. I can write bash and sed scripts, but this is foreign territory for me. I grabbed the version of me2se mentioned earlier in this thread, 2.1.3, plus opera-mini-2.0.4509-basic-us.jar

I do know my Z recognizes evm and not java when I do the "which" command.

thank you!

[sdjf]

The command has to go in a shell script as bash coughs on the odd number of quotes, here is my most recent attempt:

evm -Xprogress -XappName=$0 -cp "me4se.me4se.jar:me4se.png.jar:opera-mini-2.0.4509-basic-us.jar"" -classpath /mnt/card/QtPalmtop/java/OperaMini org.me4se.MIDletRunner com.opera.browser.Browser

Made progress with that, got MIDletRunner recognized, now it has trouble finding JAD data:

bash$ ./OperaMini.sh
Display size = 240x320
trying to load JAD data from: /META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
No MIDlet specified, trying property
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com/opera/browser/Browser
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.findContainer(Ljava/lang/String;)Lsun/misc/Launcher$ClassContainer;(Native Method)

and proceeds with a very long list of sun error messages, won't repeat them here unless somebody wants to see them.

Googling not getting me answers for the JAD issue, which looks like the next stumbling block.

thanks,

I am still struggling with this, it is finally just not finding the Browser.

bash$ evm -cp me4se.jar:png.jar:opera-mini-2.0.4509-basic-us.jar:MIDletRunner -cp OperaMini.javax.microedition.MIDlet Browser
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Browser
bash$

Anybody know where that is declared? I do not see any files with that as part of the name in the md4se or OperaMini files I downloaded.

[sdjf]

Well, with Quickening's assistance, I got it running on my Collie but not my Tosa. Strange thing, as they are both Sharp ROMs.

Anybody got ideas why that would be? I am guessing the screen size may be an issue, but since sl6000 screen is bigger, that does not make sense.

My Collie has a seriously compromised joystick, so it is painful to use as that seems to be the main way to communicate with OperaMini, to tab through a page. But the Collie's joystick is hypersensitive, goes too fast, plus because of it's broken power plug, gotta use it in docking station without hardware keyboard.

Input will be appreciated, I saw someone else got OperaMini working on their Tosa, so this is a surprise.

[sdjf]

Got it running on Tosa as well. Had to install Jeode to get it to work.

Also found another basic opera mini, but I see no way to upload here:

opera-mini-3.1.10423-basic-int.jar

It is a little better than 2.0, could not find a more recent lofi one. One important thing is it did not work to give -cp to me4se.jar, I had to move it to it's own directory and make the -cp me4se/me4se.jar instead.
