And finally a working way to save/ open OBML files on your PC! (Downloading also works!!)

As we all know there are two ways to use Opera Mini full screen on the PC
1) The Microemulator way
2) The Sun Wireless Toolkit(WTK) way

But we want to have the 2 great features of OM 4.1 on the PC, viz Save pages/ Download files.

The micro emulator way to use the JSR75 features is described here.

Well i had little luck with it :frown:. It might work for you though

Now here comes the one that worked for me from top to bottom.

First of all a million thanks to Makube for this great work.

Here are his articles,

Downloading files, saving pages on PC cant get any better

Exchanging OBML files between phone and PC is now a breeze

P.S. I take no credit whatsoever.

Congrats.

This is where i get lost. I dont know what this object is all about and where is it. I'd be honest and say i know nothing about no java. Could you explain this step to me in detail in your own words?

EDIT: I thought this step is just to create shortcut and editing the config file is the one related to JSR 75. Was that wrong?

btw,
1. Are you able to view obml files saved by phone on microemulator?
2. What exactly happens when you click on save?
3. Did you try the wtk method?

I am not at my desktop right now. Would try this once i am there. Thanks serola.

Got on my PC, tried that out.
Man, now thats a treat.

Works like a majic
I owe you a

I am a bit confused now which one should i use
Microemu or WTK?

IMO, Microemu UI is very easy to use.
but WTK UI is much quicker.
I need to compare them a lot more

Very happy for now

EDIT:
After working on both the emulators for about a couple of hours, this is my first impressions.

Microemulator wins in many aspects.
Initially WTK seemed faster but as time went by it became a memory hog.
I started to get 'error fetching file' during downloads.
So personally i'd prefer microemulator over WTK.

Here are some screenshots.

the answer is NO. Or if you can, then I really don't know how.

There is no sis emulator that could install and run .sis files on pc.

i created a shortcut for microemulator.jar, and when opened properties of micro.... there was no such thing as object, there were only two tabs general and shortcut. pls tell me a solution-serola thanx.

I got some screenshots for you.

When you copy/paste
java -cp microemulator.jar;lib/microemu-jsr-75.jar org.microemu.app.Main --impl org.microemu.cldc.file.FileSystem org.microemu.examples.fcview.FCViewMIDlet apps\opera-mini-4.1.11355-advanced-int.jad,
into 'target', make sure you change the name of the jad file according to the one in your apps folder.

Here we go,

Thanks Philry4n

hi,
i've just tried it and it works fantastically.
i've got the jsr75 to work as well, thanks a lot
but just a question is it possible to access the # shortcuts with any other key?
like maybe / or - as they are closer to the keypad

hmmmm......The device we select to use OM, the default or the large or the resizable ones are not developed with OM in mind. But that doesnt end the story.
I had used the sun wtk emulator and there was a device that had some different shortcuts.
May be some more research is needed here .

@ jpseudo &
serola.
Thanks a lot !
Now I can surf net using opera mini on my pc. Its great for internet surfer who's using very slow connection 'dail-up connection type' like me
But one thing,
when I tried to save page, I got error massage "there's no memory card inserted."
So, I click on "bookmarks" => saved page folder=> manage =>set folder. Here I got msg
"use signed version of opera mini . ."
I donno i've download opera mini from link provided 'google's translated version of russian web page.. .Its opera mini 4.1...355-int.jar & jad.
Help !

Are you using microemulator or sun wtk?
If you are on Microemulator, what happens when you press the ok or cancel button when the error message appears?

thats like the error i got, i bet your're using microemulator.
check <a href="http://my.opera.com/community/forums/findpost.pl?id=2573757">this post</a>
if not may be someone else can help you.

@jbpseudo
Yeah,
I'm using microemulator and when I press 'ok' again I got error massage
" file not found, memory card not inserted"
* <u>'this all happen even after i modifying the file config.xml as described in the above post'</u>.
It would be so usefull if this 'microemulator' could access file system of my pc.
<b>Please help !</b>
___________________________________
@selurus,
Followed your link and in my case too I did.nt get 'Label' tab . . 'object' etc but seems everything is fine except problem of file accessing to pc.
Help if have any

@ktricho, Somewhere else i read about an alternative way which might work for you. Replace the config2.xml file with the one inside this zip file,
http://baicon.wab.ru/plus/config2.zip
Create a folder named 'filesystem' inside the .microemulator folder(the folder which has config2 file). Now inside the 'filesystem' folder create two folders named 'C' and 'E'.
Try saving pages now.

Thank you very much for this info.

which Operating System are you using, i guess it must be Windows. please mention version. Also have you checked the screenshots in <a href="http://my.opera.com/community/forums/findpost.pl?id=2574511">this post</a>. it shows you the step by step procedure to create the shortcut, btw i think the file the shortcut is created for is not right. please create a shortcut for the correct file as per the earlier post.

<b><u>@jbpseudo</u>,</b>

You are great !
When I open the folder '.microemulator' I found the folder 'filesystem' was already there but it was Empty, I open it and make two new folder named 'C' and 'E'.
** :happy:ly
Now =>microemulator shortcut=>start=> . . "Operamini started. . "=>menu=>bookmark=>saved folder=> ". .blank folder appear. ."=> Manage => set folder => msg 'set permission to allow opera mini. . . .' =>I clicked ok
HERE I FOUND TWO FOLDER/DIRECTORY 'C' AND 'E'
I select 'c'.
Though it was blank as i've not saved any file yet. But when I copied all saved page 'obml file' from phone to .../.microemulator/filesystem/c/
when I open them with my operamini on pc
.
.
LO !! . It work like magic !.. .
.
Now "<u>I CAN VIEW MY SAVED obml ON PHONE AND CAN SAVE WEB PAGE ON MY PC</u>"
<b>Hats off for <u>"jbpseudo"</u>!</b> Thank you very much !!

@ktricho. Thats great news . all the way.

hi friends. I've done as told above, and the shortcut is placed in the same folder where microemulator.jar is there but i'm getting this error while running the shortcut.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: lib/microemu-jsr-75/j

which i understand is that it is unable to find the classpath for lib folder, when it is there only under microemulator folder.
What can i do?

You need to check whether the config2.xml file is updated. You might try the config2.zip file link i have given.
Even though it looks irrelevant, make sure you set the location of .jad file correct, i.e., change it to the one in your apps folder.

I'm using microemulator but when i opened opera mini in it there is no option of saving pages.Why?

Hello!

In simple terms, my knowledge of software is VERY limited. I was able to use Sun Wireless toolkit to save files in the OBML format. My model is Sony Ericosson W810 with screen resolution of 176*220. The problem is the emulator offers only four options for screen size, viz., "default color", "default gray", "media control skin" and "Qwerty", and none of these resolutions render properly when I transfer the files back to my mobile phone. What can I do about it? It would be very nice if some one could give me step-by-step instructions about what and how can something be done.

Thanks in advance.

By the way, that's the basic purpose for me--to save files on the PC and read read them on the cell phone as GPRS costs are very high

PLEASE HELP ME !!!

How preparing files OBML for Sony Ericsson K510i (res. 128 x 160 px) to view offline in Opera Mini 4.1 (4.2) ???

Please, read: http://my.opera.com/polski/forums/topic.dml?id=257963&t=1227618913&page=1#comment2807013

Hi!

In very simple words, my object is to be able to save files on the PC in a proper (176*220) resolution, which I could transfer on to my cell phone and view thus saving on GPRS cost.

When I try the Sun wireless toolkit, the resolution isn't proper though I can save the files, and also view them on my cell phone. I tried to add a new skin using the instructions in "BasicCustomizationGuide", ie. I created a folder called "w810prelim" and renamed all the files in that folder with the same name, but with that I couldn't get a new option in the program "Default Device Selection" that is available with the toolkit. Then, I changed the .properties files of defaultcolordevice to the above resolution, but that didn't open and got the following error message "OTA server emulation started ...
HTTPS server emulation started ...
Warning: Could not start new emulator process:
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "240screen.height=320"". The numbers are 240 and 320, as I tried to get the file into original resolution

While, if I use the microemulator and use the resizable screen option, I can set the screen size to appropriate resolution but NOT save the file. In spite of having downloaded the Opera 4.1 versions of both .JAR and .JAD files, and having the JSR-25 file in the following folder "microemulator-2.0.2.tar.gz\microemulator-2.0.2\lib".

Could someone please tell me how do I view the files in above resolution and also be able to save them in .OBML format to be able to view them on my cell phone.

Thanks in advance

I can get mini opera working with micro emulator thanks to all these posts.

But I can't succed to navigate to my localhost (because I would like to use the configuration to have a look on mobile Asp.net pages which I published on my localhost )

Any Idea

Alain

Thank you very much everyone... it works!

But I have one question (though it's not a big issue). I tried to play a youtube video (in the mobile version of youtube http://m.youtube.com). But clicking the "Watch video" link doesn't do anything. Any special tricks or app to make a mobile video viewable?

This might be a foolish question, but sorry I am not into these Java things

Thanks for any help in advance

& its not very difficult to type a few commands either

I wanted to use the obml saved on my pc to watch them on mobile. I did the process mentioned by you in these thread. I was able to save obml file on my pc. But when transfer it to my phone, Opera doesn't detect the file. It only detects files saved by itself. What to do? please help.

Have you set the folder to where you have saved the PC OBML files?

sorry im late,
is this not working in OM5 or i miss something here, couse when i try it on my OM5 its not working good.
