BJ2 and J9

I got my new BJ2 yesterday and so far so good. I've installed Opera Mini 4 and it seems to work well except the annoying permissions requests that show up all the time. In reading the forums, installing IBM J9 solves this problem however I am having a hard time finding the download for it. I went to http://www-306.ibm.com/software/wireless/weme/ and registered but there doesn't seem to be a download link without contacting an IBM rep. Anyone have a link to the download? Thanks in advance.

Dan has done a great job of collecting programs on his site. You can find J9 there:

Thanks for the info. I was able to install Opera Mini with J9 however the fonts are weird. Some letters are in caps in the middle of words (ie winDows mobIle). Anyone else having this problem?

You have to also copy over the Tahoma and TahomaBD fonts from your Windows fonts folder to the fonts folder of the BJ. These are the instructions I put together for J9:

Connect via ActiveSync
copy j9.cab to My Documents folder on Blackjack
Copy tahoma and tahomabd from Windows/Fonts to Windows/Fonts on BlackJack
Disconnect ActiveSync
Use File Explorer on BlackJack and tap the J9 cab to install
After it installs, tap the JAD files to install GMail and GMaps.

Hi, I followed these instructions for my BJII but have since decided to undo it.

J9 uninstalls as expected, but I am finding it impossible to delete either Tahoma fonts from my phone. When I try, it gives me a "sharing violation..." "..file may be in use" error. This is true for both the wm6 file explorer and with my desktop computer through activesync. I have tried killing all apps, but I think wm6 loads the fonts at startup.

Now I have to set the font size to "smallest" in PIE in order to get the screen to fit the way it used to and have noticed other font-size related quirks. There's no safe mode in wm6 right? Any ideas? Thanks.

Rename the tahoma font files, then reboot. Then you should be able to delete them.
