Hi,
I have downloaded Opera Mini 4.1.11355 adv-int and 4.2.13918 adv-int both for Motorola L7 from opera mini's site.
I tried to run both using microemulator 2.0.2 and it runs perfectly fine, but I was stumbled on the inability of both version to save pages. It says that I supposed to use the "signed version". I am not sure that I was downloading the "signed version".
Where do I get the "signed version" ?
How do I know if it's the "signed version"?
Is there any configuration for microemulator to use the "signed version" ?
I have configured the microemulator to emulate memory card using these options:
org.microemu.cldc.file.FileSystem
And this is how I run opera mini:
#!/bin/bash
uemudir=/opt/microemulator-2.0.2
(cd `dirname $0`
java -cp ${uemudir}/microemulator.jar:${uemudir}/lib/microemu-jsr-75.jar org.microemu.app.Main --impl org.microemu.cldc.file.FileSystem org.microemu.examples.fcview.FCViewMIDlet opera-mini-4.1.11355-advanced-int.jad
)

The options to choose the signed version or not is only available in mobile version of http://mini.opera.com/ .
It's optional whether you use signed version or not, and there is no additional configuration.
Works fine for me. Sorry, I still can't find your problem.
Try asking to Opera Mini Forum.
If you have slow internet connection, try Opera Turbo.
