How to install Opera Mini, the new navigator Web for Palm
Opera Software has sent finally Opera Mini, the version for portable devices of its famous navigator Web multiplatform, with version for Palm. This movable version maintains the characteristics of its older brother: speed, pleasant interface and accessibility.
One is a Java application, concretely of profile MIDP 2.0. Therefore, we will have to install the virtual machine Java in our Palm, soon to execute Opera Mobile. This virtual machine is necessary to execute this one and other Java applications in the Palm. These are the steps to follow to install both components:
- The virtual machine Java (concretely the WebSphere Micro Everyplace Environment, a product of IBM) we can lower, it of this page of Palm. The file to day of today is a called ZIP WEME571.zip. We unloaded it to our PC we decompressed and it.
- We enter folder “JVM/ARM4T” and inside we will find several programs for the Palm. In order to have the version in Spanish, we installed the files J9JavaVMMidp20.prc, J9JavaVMMidp20_es.prc and JavaVMCheck_esES.prc. With this already we will have installed the virtual machine Java.
- Now we will install what is in himself Opera Mobile. We go to this one page (you do not worry because it puts Tungsten C, it is worth for all the models), we chose in the pull-down menu of the part inferior “Spanish”, and will appear two unloadings. Second, finished in “.jar” it is the file that we are going to unload directly from the Palm. We point the route of that file.
- In the Palm, we abrimos the program “IBM Java VM” and chose “To install”. Where it requests the URL to us, we wrote the complete route of the unloading. In my case it was: http://mini.opera.com/global/opera-mini-advanced-es.jar. We accept, and it will be able to be unloaded. When it has finished, we left this program, and already we will have a called icon Mini Oper. This one is the navigator.
Opera Mini once activated the way hi-res (to read end of post)
Note that Opera Mini is thought mainly for movable telephones. Everything both takes control of bellboys of the part inferior. He is quite elegant, and mainly simple to use. I have liked that she integrates functions of Opera desktop, as the progress bar that indicates the Kb unloaded at every moment. He is quite light, mainly compared with the Blazer that comes to me by defect with the Tungsten E2. The pages load very fast. And something that is thanked for is that it divides the long pages in several parts, not to fill the memory of the Palm, to the style Google Mobilizer. Really, a good navigator Web for the Palm, that I recommend to you to try.
Published: as it warns well Excavate in the commentaries, a version of Opera Mini in format PRC exists, to be able to install it during a Hotsync, without needing unloading it via Internet of the page of Operates. In any case, we must first have installed also the virtual machine Java.
We use a method or another one, the installed program the same, since when trying to install the PRC in my Palm, after to have followed the process original, I received the error:
- It already exists: C:\Palm\palmOne\Marcos\Install\opera - mini-1.2.2960-advanced-es.prc
To install has failed the synchronizationError of protocol: The file already exists. (400B)
In the page of the unloading, an advice for the users of a Treo 650 occurs who want to use Opera Mini: to activate the double buffering in the virtual machine. This option is in the “Preferences” of our Palm, in the category that is created call “IBM Java VM”. We enter and we selected the square “To use buffer storage double”.
Important: in the same site there is an option “To use hi-res coordinates”. If they have a Palm of hi-res, activate it. When I proved Opera Mini did not like the finished one, because it seemed thought for devices of low resolution. But with this activated action, the quality of the images, the interface, etc, improvement CONSIDERABLY. I have updated the capture that is in the article so that it is seen.

In the page of It operates is a version in .prc supposedly for TREO, he is the same?
Then I did not see it, and no matter how hard I look for itself without seeing it. You can give the connection me?
Ah! I finish finding .prc in another page: http://mytreo.net/downloads/details-838.html?Opera_Mini
Yes, it says that it is necessary to have installed Java to be able to use it, so I suppose that is the same, but in PRC, not to have to unload it via Internet.
If it give the connection me that you found in the page of Operates I will put, it in the article.
Thanks
This it is the connection:
http://www.opera.com/produc..
I have seen it in PDAMexico.
Thank you very much they excavate.
There am addition that option, and of step some things more than there am leido in that page: what good now sees hi-res. It enchants to me.
Regularly I use Blazer, simply because it came with my Palm TX of factory. After reading your note quize to prove Operate-Mini. With the installation I did not have problems (since your explanation is very detailed) but it does not work to me!
Any URL that I want to sail says to me “has happened an error”. I with Blazer sail in a network WiFi with proxy HTTP with authentication He will be that he does not support “proxy” Opera? somebody sails through proxy it could make and it walk?
Blazer has option to form it, but Opera Mini no. Nevertheless, in the configuration of the virtual machine java (already you know, in “Preferences” of the Palm) yes that can be defined proxy HTTP.
To see if it works to you
The WebSphere Micro Everyplace Environment does not work with Sony Clié TJ-37.
Java for Palm are more virtual machines. First that is happened to me she is the one of the own Sun: http://java.sun.com/products/midp4palm/download.html
Tomorrow I will test.
With the virtual machine of Sun it does not work because it is MIDP 1, and Opera only works with MIDP 2. I found one more a older version of the one of IBM, unloaded the connection that there is in the CD of the Zire72 and works well with the CLI. Now I have left to trastear with operates to see that so she goes (at least already she starts).
In case anybody does not know it mini Opera works through proxy own of Operates that he is the one that modifies the pages to reduce them, that releases to our PALM of the work, but I do not know that so will work with some pages, nor that so the speed considering that first filter with proxy of operates before arriving at our hands. In addition, we do not know if they can have access which we see, just in case, if planeais to put a pump, it diagis by webmail through Does not operate
Yes, the oldest version of the machine of IBM works with older equipment. What law in the page of Palm, is that to unload it is necessary it to pay about 6 Euros. You had but it in the CD of the Zire72, you have saved them to you.
Proxy of Operates is similar to the Google Mobilizer that commented in another one post. It divides the Webs to adapt them to devices with little memory. Clearly, this has the counterpart of the loss of privacy. It must on the matter have commented something in post.
With respect to the speed, I tested few, but in speed of unloading it goes just as the direct Blazer, and in renderización of the page more express is very many. Sites that with proxy of Operate not see… use well will say the daily it.
Thank you very much they excavate again to contribute important information.
I have tried of which you say to form proxy HTTP in the preferences, but he has not worked to me. In fact I proved several syntaxes and I did not manage to make walk it. He is that he only proposes a line to you of text to form proxy, and in fact I have direction IP of proxy, the port that uses, the user and password of authentication. Probe several of the standard syntaxes that are happened to me and nothing.
Some commentary?
Federico, you have tried to put the direction with proxy implicit?
I know that he is coñazo, but equal you can prove this TV:
http://usuario:password@servidor_proxy:puerto
an example would be:
http://alucardx:micontrasena@bioproxy:80
what it says to him that alucardx is to user, micontrasena password, bioproxy the proxy server and: 80 the port of proxy
To see if therefore it works to you
a consultation. I have followed the steps but at the moment at which hotsynk installs the virtual machine java, the equipment is reinitiated, to alguen him has happened the same?
Hello, I have a T3 and after installing the virtual machine java and Opera Mini, when attempt to accede to some Web, the Palm is hung and appeared pantallazo “to restore”. I connect to Internet by means of Bluetooth PC. To somebody it happens to him more? You have the solution?
Thanks
HR
Hello harpo, passes the same exactly to me, and also I have a T3… gives me that at the moment it does not have operates for us
Hello to all again…
Harpo, changes the preferences of the virtual machine for the opera, ponle 8Mb of memory and 32kb to him for the size of the battery and watches to see if therefore it works to you
A greeting!
It works,
Thanks for the aid me_rallo
Marks I do not decide to me where law, but I saw that this version of operates mini is unstable (I am safe of that) and that there is another version of operates mini is like 3,07 either 8 I do not decide to me or and that also it is possible to be unloaded just as the mentioned version or. That there is of that?
you already proved the navigator to univer itself? I saw writing in another subject and your you mentioned that the probaryes so that parecia good… you have proven already it? that so this?
Not yet I have had the opportunity. When it can I will make it to write here an analysis thoroughly
They have left new versions Opera Mini since I wrote this post. Now more models of PDA are even supported.
Hello. Greetings from Caracas Vzla.
Friendly. reading carefully. gustaria me they would help. .pues me I have one palm treo 650. java installs the machine to him. and soon it operates mini as it is explained above. but whenever it starts it operates. .y I place some direction to look for. .la palm is reinitiated. it gives conflict. already law all the post. I have installed 2 times operates. .y always the same problem. one settles. it abre. .configuro. .le I give cyualquier cos. .por ejemplo my operates. or I place some direction abrir. .y there to him. resetea palm. that sera?
change the version? some version better? some navigator for palm that is not the one that brings this?
thanks of before hand.
Hello Jose.
Perhaps your Treo, by software that you have installed, walks very right of DbCache memory. It installs the DbCacheTool and it watches the memory levels.
I have a T/X and with himself not to correctly install the virtual machine of java. I have copied *.prc as it is indicated in the article and I even installed from the fast installer of palm but nothing, not with himself that work. Exists another virtual machine aside from palm that works? Later, I went to the page of IBM I did not find references to palmOS, so I suppose that there will be other adaptations of VJM for palm, ....... Thanks
Perhaps this installer can ayudarte.
Thank you very much Marks, already are working and seem that Opera responds… I hope to be able to prove it calmly in house this behind schedule… to aver that so it goes. Thank you very much.
A greeting
I have a problem, when it has an operation tries to form the network, only arrives until the 3 from 6 steps and one leaves. I have changed almost to all the options of the virtual machine and nothing to him.
Ah, use plug2net like connection.
If they know something porfavor they postean.
Hello that so, I have a Tungsten E2. It installs everything as it says in the page and it works all good apparently, but when wanting to change of page hangs palm. What sera the reason, memory, installed evil (although wifi works the Internet) the truth not it, if they can help if not tendre me that to return to the Blazer. Greetings and thanks for this page!
Hello, congratulations by this super site for all the Palmómanos of Hispanic speech. I for a long time have a E2 and am but that happy with her. In fact I consider my brain already external
Ever since I knew that existia Opera Mini tries to install it to stop using the horrible Blazer, unfortunately I have not been successful to make work it. The problem is that all the installation is carried out without problems but when I want to sail to a page anyone, it shows the warning to me of license for a moment and Operates goes out it returns and me to the menu of Applications. If access no page and treatment not to form the network says to me that it cannot be connected although with Blazer the connection works perfectly.
I have version 3.1.8295 of Operates mini and the 2.2.14 of IBM Java VM.
I BELIEVE that the problem is the configuration of memory of the JVM for Operates, but I have moved them a little and nothing don't mention it. If somebody has had similar problems agradeceria commented to him on the matter, since at the outset it doubted that Opera Mini worked in a humble E2 but I see that but of one this working without problems.
Greetings from the CD of Mexico
hello friendly, I have a Palm LifeDrive and I have not obtained that Operates mini is in all the screen I have installed, it as file .prc and has not worked to me well. And when dealing with to install from IBM JVM it leaves a message to me error after to introduce the direction. When abrir a page Web only Appears to me a left flank of the content and they do not appear options to form tamanho of letter, nor I can either use the cursor of 5 directions, that I do? so far volvere to install it in case something I made bad. another question. .no are problems if I also have the machine of java HQ 1,0? also I have problems with mundu im but that is another subject. greetings from Chile! and them agradeceria any ayudilla!
Good now, we do not have virtual machine JAVA, from the machine of palm
Greetings Marks, I have been whereupon the page where previously was the machine of JAVA for Palm (from the site of Palm) not this more available, you know some other connection of where could unload it? then I do not give with the Google…
greetings to all in this Link find all referring to jva for palm including a machine java that installs from the SD without using hotsync I hope serves http://www.pdatungsteno.com/2006/01/25/como-instalar-opera-mini-el-nuevo-navegador-web-para-palm/ to them
Hello to all I have one zire72 installs java as they indicated but in the page that makes reference when it sends to you to put in the drop-down menu spanish soon to look for the file to.jar, an my PC does not appear, s eque not to do already installs all others and enters operates mini from IBM java deice installing and it does not move almost of a 25% and if I install prc directly so that palm runs it abre as soon as it speaks to me of license that is what I have been able to see and leaves the program, somebody can help me. Thanks
