Opera Mini 7 for Java and BlackBerry

Opera Mini 7 for Java and BlackBerry

The long wait is over
Today we are releasing Opera Mini 7. Since the Opera Mini Next release we have received lots of feedback. Thank you!

Opera Mini 7 includes all the features introduced in Opera Mini Next:

• Smart Page gives you an overview of your favorite sites, latest updates from social networks (Twitter and Facebook), news gathered from your sites and suggested links.
• Support for more than 9 speed dials.
• Right-to-left support in UI.
• Tab improvements.
• No more "www." in address bar.

For the final version we have made the following changes:

• Improved stability and performance for Nokia S40 devices. The main concern for these devices is the limited memory set aside for Java applications (often only 2 MB). We have both lowered the memory used by Opera Mini itself and the size of the loaded pages.
• Speed dials on Java devices will now show the title instead of a spinner while waiting for the thumbnail to load. This should make it easier to scroll through speed dials.
• Fixed an issue with loading the wrong page when a link was clicked.
• Removed a bogus text wrapping setting that was introduced in Opera Mini Next.
• Fixed more right-to-left (RTL) issues. There are still device specific bugs, but those are mainly caused by limited or no device support for RTL.
• General performance optimizations and UI fixes.
• Made Opera Mini work on Samsung S8500 Wave and Samsung S8600 Wave 3.
• Fixed a connection issue with newer Samsung devices.

To download Opera Mini 7 visit http://m.opera.com on your phone.
Please report any bugs in our bug report wizard.

Enjoy!

At first glance appears to be
more liquid than Next but I have
to better look, that is longer.

Thanks for update

I didn't get any issue on Java Emulator on Android....
But let the other users try it out

@mvthakar, yeah your right man, I used Opera Mini Next before with my Nokia E71 and I encountered a lot of problems even if it was a Symbian version so I switched back to 6.5. As I'm using this by now, this Opmin 7 is great. ^.^

Hi opera mini team,thanx for the amazin opera mini 7 release,it's workin awesome on my samsung star and im lovin the new text speed dials and home screen,this is a great release guys,keep up the awesome work:)

awesome

it seems that saved pages from v6.5 is not compatible in v7. will have to reload the pages, so if the saved page is one of page, it'll be gone.

what the hell is wrong with om7? The social networking tab does not load anything!! Cannot log in to fb or twitter! I m using nokia 3110c! I noticed om7 hangs a little bit! Please fix this!

Very disappointed. On my nokia 5130, the browser hangs every 5 minutes. Very slow scrolling cursor. Very slow homepage. After opera link enabled it hangs again. Seems opera next problems still stay in the official version. This version is not stable sorry to say.

Problems regarding saved pages still there and the bookmark short cut have changed. And it just hangs again. In comparison to opera 4 versions this is way way too slow.

Hi Opera Team! I still not Opera Mini full screen (240X400) on my Samsung GT-S5620 Monte. I am very disappointed:(

Congrats opera, you just removed the worst version yet. Opera mini next 7 was faster, better compatibility with saved pages and even that homepage feature.

@perthomas

I'm using v7.0.29915 for j2me on nokia 5800. When i opened a saved page, it said the saved page is not compatible and asked me to reload it. In that particular case, the saved page was a twitter search saved either last year or the year before, and wouldn't be the same to reload again. It's no big deal for me as I'm using om for s60 now, and in fact it was most probably saved from v5.1.

Finally!!! The full version is out!!
Didn't found a bug yet. So, good one. Keep up the hard work opera team. Although I am slightly disappointed with the same old, slow download manager. This is the worst thing of Opera. Please improve it guyz.
Also looking forward to see if this version too crashes or not, like the older ones. Hope this issue is solved. :|

That's dependent on your network carrier, not Opera Mini 7.

Sorry for sounding dumb, but what is my network career?

Network carrier = Your SIM Card company (e.g - Vodafone)

He meant Carrier

Hi. Recently installed OM7 on my BB9300 with OS6 and there are couple annoying issues that I've noticed that were not present in OM6.5.

1. OM7 has 2 zoom levels instead of 1 and text does not wrap to the screen after the 2nd zoom. This is highly irritating as horizontal scrolling is needed. Overall, text wrapping to screen width is very poor when compared to the BB browser.

2. OM7 looses connectivity after being left open for a while. Trying to open a page will result in the connection not available pop up being displayed. OM7 will then need to be restarted.

Otherwise I'm loving OM7.

I use Mtn. I just wonder why on 8520 it was free and on 9300 it is not. Perhaps it is the 3g lol. I don't mind paying

What APN were you using on your BB 8520? Check it on 9300.
It may have been changed.

I don't have the 8520 anymore. I'm not good with technical stuff. It is ok, if I want to use opera mini I don't mind paying. It is awesome for forums!

As your wish
Well, Opera Mini is a cost cutter and it'll screw up your network carrier.
Pay less, browser more

Opera Mini 7 fixed a problem I was having in 6.5 with the Yahoo Finance website where the Back key on my BB would simulate the Enter key when I was in the Get Quotes text field causing the page to refresh without taking into account the stock symbols had been entered in the field. Works properly in Opera Mini 7.

When i tried to install opera mini 7.0, my phone turned off and all my programs and games were deleted, and i still can't install it. Why?

Hi Opera team!
Thank you for the full-screen (240x400)
version for samsung GT-S5620
Monte:D
I am no longer disappointed:D

I received a message asking me to upgrade from 6.5 to 7, which I did automatically via the BlackBerry app world. After the update and the required reboot of the phone (a pearl 6105) the software is still 6.5 (same interface and confirmed in the help section) but the app world says that I installed the 7, as the applications list in the phone. Did somehow the number versions were messed up when you submitted your software to RIM?

When I start OM, there are no speed dials. They only show up after connecting to the internet and syncing, which takes a few minutes. This happens every time I start OM. In addition, speed dials are shown as text only, and the thumbnails load only if I use them (click them at least once). Phone is SE W705. Does anybody else experience this problem? It never occurred with previous versions of OM.

hello,
thanks for the new version. i have had any problems since i installed it.
blackberry 8520.

Hi Opera Team!!

I use a Blackberry 8900 (Os 5.1) and I have a big issue with the RSS Feed in OM7, and never happens before. When I check my feeds, Opera load tiles and other graphics surrounding the feed list and in every feed I open (and shows nothing in this graphics, just passes from gray area to white), becoming more heavy and slow to use, I open 3 feeds in separate tabs, a newspaper, a tech blog and crackberry.com RSS, I reach the 3rd tab, and the other tabs erases and shows "this tab has erased for recover memory, please update". I go back to OM6 and still happen (but I stay in OM6 'cos manage memory a little bit better), so i think your servers are sending all that crap in the feeds (killing the supposedly light of RSS rather a complete web page) please return to the older view of RSS feed or please fix. Thanks for your time and your work.

I use a Samsung GT-B5722 and with my phone browser, the prescribed opera mini is opera mini 7,but after downloading it, it didn't open due to java error.Meanwhile I already have opera mini 4.4 and when I tried using it to download opera mini 7, the device detected was Samsung SGH-E860V, which is not my device.

Hi people of Opera!!!

For some reason the RSS Feeds built in Opera Mini 7 (and OPM 6.5.2 too) changes the layout adding unnecessary graphics, I made the report bug ID: SKIRNE-174551 about this issue, but still happens and slowing the feeds (not web pages, just the feeds) maybe if I showing the problem you can solve:

(This made in Opera mini 7 and OM6.5.2 for blackberry OS5 in spanish, I have to mention i stick with OM6 because handles a little better the load of unnecessary graphics rather than OM7)

















So please, please go back to the older layout in RSS Feeds built in Opera Mini, or please, please fix!!!

Thanks

I'm a bit new to the world of Opera Mini. I just got a new phone (Samsung GT-C3322) and went straight to the Opera site where it suggested I download OM7. I did, but when I launched it I got this same Java error.

What to do?

I am using bb 9700, it works great, except when the address bar is opened, it lags to type an address, why is this?? And should incorporate some themes into this new version

I was just wondering.. will downloading this newest version of Opera Mini delete/remove/clear the data (eg. saved pages, bookmarks, settings, etc.) stored in the previous older version? Because currently my opera link isn't working (and hasn't been for the past few months), so I'm afraid that downloading another version of Opera Mini will not retain all my existing data. I'm using version 6.5 and a J2ME/Java phone.

Will be very, very grateful if someone or some mod will enlighten me with regards to this issue. I really want to try version 7 you see ._.

You don't have to mod opera mini, just instal 2 version, one is your 6.5 and other v7, but first you must change the name through midlet, and don't download from m.opera.com,it will replace your 6.5

I'm sorry, but I totally didn't understand that xD Could you explain more thoroughly what I'm required to do? Thanks!

if you download from m.opera.com which the latest version,it will replace your opera 6.5 and your data inside it will gone, so you must install 2 opera mini version, one you have v6.5 and v7.0,
but first you must change the name of opera mini, default name or v6.5 which installed in your phone is 'opera mini', you must change it to 'opera mini 7' or up to you in order to not replace your old opera,

how to change it,
you must have blueftp, moby explorer in your phone, and the .jar file of opera mini v7,open blueftp and click .jar of opera mini, and extract all inside it to new folder,open mobyexplorer and search 'META-INF' in new folder, open it and double click MANIFEST.MF and edit 'Midlet-Name: opera mini' for example and change it into 'Midlet-Name: Opera Mini 7' then save it, after you save there will .bak file, delete it exit moby and open again blueftp, select all the extracted file and extract to jar 'Menu-Compress items (jar)'

I'm unable to extract the .jar file of opera mini v7 into the new folder. The option is a gray link (non-usable link) in blueftp when: I "select all" the files in the .jar file of opera mini v7, then open the new folder. What now??

ETA1: Figured it out. However, I encounter a "ZIP format error" message while extracting. The message: "Encountered problems with the format of currently processed file. Reason: CRC check failed for file a". This message seems to appear for all .class files. Any idea on how to fix this??
ETA2: Also, where is this jar 'Menu-Compress items (jar)' you mentioned?

try another .jar file,maybe it corrupted,
there is Compress-items(jar) option after you click menu option

or i can send you the edited opera mini v7,just give me your email address

Okay, I did what you said. But when I selected the new .jar file "operamini7.jar" and pressed "yes" when it asked me to install, a message saying "invalid file" came up. What went wrong?

i will send you my .jar file,
check your email and tell me if you receive my email or not

Yep, I got it. Thank you (: Will my existing data appear in the new version though? Because I have over 300 bookmarks and saved pages, and 20+ feeds. It'll be horrible if I lose them

unfortunately it can't, is the opera mini from me working properly??

No When I try to download, it says “Unsupported Content”.
