For those with slow connections can make surfing the Web a whole new experience.
Imagine you are in a place where you can only connect to a 56k connection (or worse), but you really need a few things on the Internet … Well, one option is the use of Opera Mini on your mobile phone, but it could be a dispute as text input can be a pain (and you are in a hurry), so what are you doing?
Well, you tweak and use of Opera Mini on your PC (of course)! You will receive proper text input, no more scrolling (due to full screen display) and far less traffic (and thus faster page loads) than with a “normal” browser. Sweet!
Where to download:
- Download and install the software you need (you can pick the snapshot as well).
- Unzip the archive (to a place you remember) on your PC.
- Download the Opera Mini .jar and .jad files.
How to make it work:
- Double-click on “microemulator.jar” to run it. If that doesn’t work you’ll have to type “java -jar microemulator.jar” in a console (please note you need to have JRE installed for this to work).
- Go to “Options -> Select device”, click “Add…”, navigate to “microemulator/devices” and select “microemu-device-resizable.jar”.
- Select the “Resizable device” profile you added and click on “Set as default”.
- Click on the “Resize” button in the lower right corner to choose prefered size.
- Go to “File -> Open JAD” and choose the Opera Mini .jad you previously downloaded.
- “Opera Mini” will now appear in the list of applications you can start.
- Click “Start” to launch it.
Hi. Great and clear instructions. I have a doubt:
Can I have a shortcut on the desktop so that I do not have to open the command windows each time I want to run Opera Mini?
Can I run other applications made for the mobile?
Thanks
