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

[bsw11]

Update - figured that part out - got MINI 4 to install.
Pretty nice - have a few questions:
Does it integrate to Flash 7 or Flash Lite?
Is there a way to disable Touch Flow so I can finger scroll?
What is the app name that is running -Java?

[Menneisyys]

So is it easy to make pie the default browser again once you make these changes?

FWIW, I followed the four steps on my Sprint Touch and I get PIE still loading default pages. The only difference is I used SK Tools to import the registry changes.

Evidently the .mscr file is not being fired off correctly, because if I manually run it, I do get opera mini to open.

Did you import the WM6-specific Registry file?

1. nope, nope
2,dunno
3, MIDlet

Does this whole procedure actaully INSTALL Opera Mini as well?
I went to the min.opera.com and tried to install the large model (I am on an ATT-Tilt using a Dutty ATT Rom) and all it did was hang in IE and put me through java install HELL on Opera Mobile.
Please clarify how to get the the actual jar for the browser installed on WM6.

Thanks,

Read the Opera Mini review at http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1275368 ; it explains, step by step, how it should be deployed.

Did you import the WM6-specific Registry file?

I did. I even checked the registry to make sure the registry setting was set. i noticed that it said that the key '1' was set tothe mortscript script. i saw that '0' was set to PIE. I also have 3 &4 in there.

edit: i am running PIEPlus, tho I doubt that matters

[TruBlu01]

Hmmm, PHMRegistry Editor's import is greyed out. I went ahead and manually typed in the reg stuff (new value) for 1. When I click a link in outlook I get

:dEFBROWSER
The File ':dEFBROWSER' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or retoring this file.

OK I found out what I was doing wrong... nothing evidently word .doc files do not invoke OM as you suggested. Nor does flexmail. I did get a picturemail last nite that did invoke opera mini. So pocketoutlook works. but other programs do not.

Can you tell me what the registry key used to be so I can change it back?

edit: switching the reg key to \windows\iexplore.exe brought back the settings to default

[OutPhase]

I also cannot get it to open via Flexmail

I found how to get it to work. Take the string now in HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai/: DEFBROWSER and put it into HKCR/http/Open/Command with the %1 going into url="%1"

Also, the mortscript file you wrote has url = (url,2), but with 2 instead of 1 it pastes in "ttp://..." instead of "http://"

I'll post a reg file for the above fix later when I get home.

Thanks - I wouldn't have thought WM6 is so half-baked (that is, half of the apps still depend on the pre-WM6 (that is, the HKCR/http/Open/Command) way of invocation).

Also, the mortscript file you wrote has url = (url,2), but with 2 instead of 1 it pastes in "ttp://..." instead of "http://"

That's because two leading additional chars needed to be passed in order to work via the new (DEFBROWSER) way - otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to name these constants at all.

I'll try to play with this stuff when I have some time; in the meantime, I recommend just adding two additional chars after "url="" in HKCR/http/Open/Command so that you can use the same MortScript (without checking for the string to be passed with a CharAt() function so that you know where it has been called from and what has been passed - that is, whether the start of the URL should be cut off).

[OutPhase]

So far, I haven't had any adverse effects from (url,1) instead of (url,2). I'll let you know if something goes crazy though.

Thanks for your hard work.

I have posted on Menneisyys' blog with an updated script that will only remove the first character from the url if it is a space (also posted below). In my limited experience, opera mini doesn't even care if there is a space before "http" so it'll still go to the correct url anyway if you take out the code that modifies the url.

Will there will be a new blog update adding the wm5-style linking in the registry to wm6 devices? No idea how to test this wm5-style linking on my wm6 smartphone.

If (ProcExists("jbed.exe"))
   Run("\Windows\jbed.exe", "-run s0_")
   sleep(3000)
Else
   Run("\Windows\jbed.exe", "-run s0_")
   sleep(8500)
EndIf

SendLeftSoft
Sleep(100)
SendLeftSoft
Sleep(100)

if (substr(url,1,1) eq " ")
   url = substr(url,2)
EndIf
SetClipText(url)

SendEnd
SendHome("",0,1 )
Sleep(100)

SendCtrlKey("V")
Sleep(100)
SendLeftSoft

An issue I found was that if I get a Sprint picturemail, it wont open in OM correctly. I wonder if in mortscript there is an easy way to open said links in PIE, ie if url contains pictures.sprintpcs.com then open in pie

You can use the mortscript function Find:

If ( Find( "pictures.sprintpcs.com", ToLower(url) ) )
   Run("\Windows\iexplore.exe", url)
Else
   ...
EndIf

I suppose this can be used to detect if a link is local ("file:///") and launch ie instead of om.

Here is something I cooked up to give you a choice when you click a link:

if (substr(url,1,1) eq " ")
	url = substr(url,2)
EndIf

list[1] = "Open in Opera Mini"
list[2] = "Open in Pocket IE"
list[3] = "Copy to clipboard"
list[4] = "Cancel"
Choice("With this link...", url, list)

Case(1)
	Call OpenOM
Case(2)
	Run("\Windows\iexplore.exe", url)
Case(3)
	SetClipText(url)
Case(0,4)
	Exit
EndChoice


Sub OpenOM
	If (ProcExists("jbed.exe"))
	   Run("\Windows\jbed.exe", "-run s0_")
	   sleep(3000)
	Else
	   Run("\Windows\jbed.exe", "-run s0_")
	   sleep(8500)
	EndIf
	
	SendLeftSoft
	Sleep(100)
	SendLeftSoft
	Sleep(100)
	
	SetClipText(url)
	
	SendEnd
	SendHome("",0,1 )
	Sleep(100)
	
	SendCtrlKey("V")
	Sleep(100)
	SendLeftSoft
EndSub

Wow..tried it... that works great!

Now this is phenomenal. Works exceptionally well. Thanks!!

So in order, Menneisyys, OutPhase, and badbob001 You guys rock

Oh yea and Mort from Mortscript certainly does as well! Thanks to all of you!
