How to Install two instance of Opera Mini ( Nokia N8 - Symbian Belle)

I need to install two (or more) istance of Opera Mini for my personal reasons.

I tried to install one time in E: (mass memory) and a second time in F: (sdcard).
But wherever I install it, the last one installation overwrite the previous one.

How Can I do it?

Thanks in advance.

ps. I know an easy solution is to install Opera Mini and Opera Mini Next, but I don't care it.

ps2. Someone told me that I can do it through editing of Opera Mini package with SIScontents...I've SIScontent but I don't know what I need to change.

Rename the first installation from meta-inf folder > manifest.mf > MIDlet-Name so that it will not be overwritten. Then install the 2nd one. Tutorial/instruction on how to rename Opera Mini:

Does It work only for Java Version of Opera Mini ?

I want to install two instance of S60 version, your tutorial linked above is still good?
(in .sis there is no "meta-inf" folder )

Sorry, I woudn't know that it doesn't work for S60 phones. Thanks for mentioning that there is no meta-inf in .sis. I don't know how to contact Serola, but if you post it on the link below hopefully he will notice it:

If you use different versions of mini, it should work. I had 4.x, 6.x, mini next, and opera mobile 10.00(499) installed on my S60v3. If you want multiple installs of the same v. , you might have to rename one.

The same versions overlapped or not will work as one. The thing is that client-id is detected and that will force reinstallation of the second Opera Mini app which eventually will copy the cookies from previous (used) one.

I think work as one because every version is installed in the same path (!:\system\apps\OperaMini\....)



Even If i can't understand the why, if I Install one time in E:\ and the second time in F:\ i don't have two instance of Opera Mini...

7.x and y are both betas, I believe. That won't work. You can install a beta and a final version, or versions though.
