Hi all. I would like to ask 2 things regarding OM:
1. Can I get the font size much larger than is its maximum(I have it adjusted as very large,but is still very small)
2. I can't select texts in input dialogs. On my Himalaya with Cloudyfa Esmertec emulator it is possible(different version?). I want to copy links sometimes or delete parts of the text.
Some ideas? Thanks
uh oh, i just realized something. with the VGA screen on the Touch Pro, does that mean Opera Mini does not let you zoom in and out? Is that why the font size is a problem?
Are you viewing the full page zoomed out with font set to large or zoomed in? Zoomed in I have small text set and everything is large and the right size.
My problem's are with Java (thread title?) I cannot load certain pages due to java issues which is enabled and working... Some forums and Hotmail to name a few.
Any updates or fixes we can apply? (found this thread from searching, going to sift through some more for an answer if not...)

1. I'm also interested. Same as you (small fonts on zoom in mode)
2. You cannot copy/paste by holding BUT you can copy via CTRL+C and paste via CTRL+V (as on your PC) either with virtual keyboard or hardware one.
CTRL+A for select all.

Ctrl+A isn't also working. Just Ctrl+Arrow or Ctrl+Shift+Arrows
Ah, you're right. But atleast copy/paste work fine. You can try to select the whole text from inputs with double tap
For large fonts do not use the generic version. Try this version here. From your phone use opera mobile and go to http://mini.opera.com/beta/ Then click the link that says "If this version fails..." and download the first version with multiple certificates.
I originally installed the generic version and the text was unreadable. With the above version everything is nice and big now.

Hi !
I noticed a while ago that the small fonts in Opera Mini (latest 3 version - non beta, and all the 4 betas) have a rectangle around them which doesn't match the background... It's like the letter background is not completely transparent (it darkens the area around a letter). If you can't see this, try looking at the screen at an angle. Note: This only happens with SMALL fonts.
Is this an Opera Mini prolem or a JVM problem (i'm not sure who draws the font...) ?
Actually i could have sent this as PM to Menneisyys, but i thought maybe i start some talk...
The reason i'm asking this is because it's the last issue i have with Opera Mini, and maybe i should look for another JVM (useless if Opera draws the fonts and not the JVM)...
Thanks!
See section "6.3 Still no non-Western fonts in smallest charsize" at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340322 :
"In order to keep the size of the JAR file down, the developers of Opera Mini have chosen NOT to include any non-Western character in their custom, (in most MIDlet manager) edge-smoothed Small font set. Only a rectangle will be displayed upon encountering characters like this. This is pretty much similar to how Thunderhawk, the famous (IMHO, Opera Mini is far more recommended), albeit, for long not updated Windows Mobile Web browser did: it also uses a custom fontset and it also refuses to render anything non-Western.
This means you MUST use at least the Medium font size on your handset (because it uses the native charset of the device and not that of Opera Mini), should you want to read pages using the non-Western alphabet."
The OM folks have announced they will NOT implement non-Western chars to keep the JAR size down.
Oh, maybe i wasn't clear enough: i can see the letter, but the area around it (it's bounding rectangle) is not transparent, i attached a picture of what i mean (it's not from the device, when i try to take a photo the problem is not visible in the picture)
I noticed that i had that problem with the Esmertec Jbed manager, Tao Intent shows small fonts just fine without gray boxes.
Tao font is also much more clear to read.
Damn ! I don't like Tao 'cause it doesn't support fullscreen, and doesn't exit after i exit opera mini called from command line...

Strange, no such problems with me (Jbed).
Also, I downloaded an original verson of Opera Mini recently as I lost my Russian copy.
Oddly, my Russian version allows me to open and switch between two windows or three.
I know this is an old thread, but i want to bring closure: The latest Opera Mini 4.1 beta doesn't have this problem. So i was right, there was something wrong. Now the small fonts look GREAT !
I found the typing area (the space below the message body) becoming too small after exchanging a few messages. Wonder if there are ways to enlarge the typing space to allow seeing 3-4 lines (now I can only see 2 lines). Thanks.
This seems to be a problem only when using the threaded SMS feature. I you turn that off, you get the full screen. The other problem with the threaded SMS feature is that it take away the character count which also drives me a bit crazy. Anyone know how to fix either of these two issues while retaining the threading feature?

It doesn't take away character count. It's right there on the top bar, next to the start button...
Drop this in /windows and overwrite. Might need total commander. I cant find the post but basically you edit the thread_sms html file in windows, i have this one saved in both my wife and my phones pre-edited.
note: you need to have show hidden filed turned on to see it on your pc.
you can use the freeware "TOTAL COMMANDER" and edit the file thread_sms.html. You can do a search to easily find it...i think it's in the windows directory.
look for this part:
<inbox:content id="COMPOSESUBECT" width="98%" height=35 spell...
and play around with the number in height (in this case 35). I think I tried 70 and got 3 lines for my text replies. Just change the numbers and see what works for you.
*you need to soft reset after editing the file.
Thanks, venelar & koppee1 for your help! It works.

Hey thanks a lot. I had been looking for it at the bottom of the screen where it appears when a new message is created. You have solved a big issue for me! I can kind of live with the small typing area but the word count thing drove me crazy -- I am a wordy guy.
i have installed wisbar advanced with the original theme. After that i havent the character count which has been in top. Is there any way how to get the character count back in threaded sms, or how to get it to the postion where is in the normal SMS sending... anyone hlep?
Hi, I installed the above thread_sms.html file from venelar (copied using resco explorer and soft reset) but now my threaded sms is broken, if I select a thread and click reply then nothing happens other than a slight screen 'flash'! Have disabled threaded sms in advance config and ordinary messaging is fine. Would like to get threaded back but like an idiot did not make a copy of the original file. Don't really want to hard reset and start all my settings again. Can anybody upload an original touch pro thread_sms.html file to help me out or suggest what I have done wrong?

it worked 4 me without the soft reset!
THNX much better now! now I can actually see what I typed...
After some experimentation:
Height of 35 = One-line SMS typing area
Height of 45 = Two-line SMS typing area
Height of 70 = Three-line SMS typing area
P.S. As per Pensador, a soft-reset was not required.
Doesn't work in Landscape SMS Mode

Changing this seems to only increase the SMS text area for the screen in Portrait. When I use the keyboard (i.e. screen in Landscape). Anyone know how to increase the SMS texting area for both orientations?

This is an awesome fix. This should be placed in the wiki.
Also, you don't need a soft reset and it works for both portrait and landscape.
Hi all, this is first time i post, just want to give back to XDA , anyway, my english is not very good, lets start the topic...here's how i do..
use any regedit goto
1. "HKLM\software\apps\esmertec java\properties"
delete key "com.sun.midp.io.http.proxy" --->now you have speed and even use wifi connection.
2. "HKLM\software\apps\esmertec java\device info\java font"
edit the "size large" key to "30" --->now you've bigger font size in extra large setting.
3. install "JRebeiro_EsmertecJbed.cab" than uninstall it. ---> i accidentally found this work. now i've the "yes, don't ask me again" option for the permission. if you know what i mean...
4. go mini.opera.com download the "Multiple certificates" version and install.
5. change font setting to extra larger.
hope this help, and sorry for the bad english.
ps. try upload the "JRebeiro_EsmertecJbed.cab" but got Upload of file failed, so, just google it, should be 2.5mb

I didn't think the browser would work all that well without the proxy. Have you done some thorough testing to see if it still has most of its website compatibility?

In Opera, I'm using Extra Large font. I wouldn't mind trying something even a bit larger.
But, In HKLM\software\apps\esmertec java the only subfolder I have is Properties. Nothing with Device Info and nothing about java font anywhere.
Did you have to build this or was it there?
I'm using version 3.1
i can confirm that the font edit works, it definately is much easier to use now... dont know why u dont have that folder, maybe try to uninstall and reinstall? thank you very much for this info!
Which version of esmertec jbed are you guys using?
Is the java font a dword?
Can someone post that java font key part of the registry so I can try to add it?
Once that's set, what font size do you set inside opera mini? Large or Extra Large?
Nevermind, I tried the version of jbed here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439989
and I see the keys now.
I'll play around a bit more and check this version out

Same here, i dont have this folder or dword. I tried creating it but it changed nothing when i launched opera mini. Im not sure what version im using as it was an installer for esmertec and opera that was bundled into one cab file.
Any advice?
The java in the link I posted above is nice.
Fonts are much bigger, even without the hack posted in this thread.
I do now have those keys too, so it must have been that jbed 3.1 that didn't make those keys.
mine is from the at&t ship rom. don't know what version is it.
the proxy is point to at&t, i've no problem for delete it, and i now can use wifi too.
will try the link you post, thanks.

hey, thanks for this, but this made some of my websites stop working. i tried to add that key back, but now all of operamini wont work.. i tried un-installing and re-installing, no go. if somebody could go to that file, and make sure its correct, (also, i dont add the " at the beginning at end, right?) and tell me whats the content in that file. i left it blank for right now, and it doesnt work.. thanks for any help.. dont want to hard reset :\
> Which version of esmertec jbed are you guys using?
Keys are seen with 20080912 version..
> Is the java font a dword?
No, this is string value
> Once that's set, what font size do you set inside opera mini? Large or Extra Large?
You have three steps in Opera and in the settings, but the scales aren't the same so large in settings means very large in Opera...
After tthe registry edit the font size is still the same for me...
For the font...
I have installed VGA_Esmertec_Jbed_20080912.5.1.cab(try to google for it) this way:
- Synchronize your Operamini
- delete the Windows\Appdb folder(I am not sure if a copy for backup and restoration later works).
- install the cab
- download Operamini again(maybe Appdb folder restoration should be enough)
- synchronize to restore your bookmarks
the new screenlock for wm6.5 looks much better than the one for wm6.1. and i know that microsoft never meant to imitate iphone. however, the new screenlock is not so easy to use with the slide block sooooo-up-there...
fortunately, i found CHomeVisualEditor.exe, which help me to modify the original screenlock to a much-easier-to-use mode. download the txt file and then rename the file name (just delete ".txt", cause the actual file type is ".cpr"), copy it to "/windows" to cover the original one. the effect pic is shown in the attachment 2.
please be advised if the files don't work, copy them to "/windows/lockscreen" to cover the original ones. then reboot your phone. they shall be working by then.
p.s. i put "silde to unlock" outside the screen (top margin: 640) so you will not see that one the screen. i guess no one need that shown on the screen right...?
note: i updated my rom recently, and found the position of time moved much lower than that of the former one. if the position of time doesn't meet your need, try to open the file as a text format, search for "Layer ID="TimeAppointment" Top". the last number shows the position the time should be present. for your reference, use "-30" for 640x480 and "0" for 480x640.
no one replied. no one need this?
tbh u should have posted this in the Software section...
Looks awesome. Thanx

Good day all,
i have searched the forums thoroughly and have been unable to find an answer.
I was looking for the best reader and after seeing allreader and mobipocket, i actually dont mind adobe pdf and using my finger to pull the pages down.
however, my query is if there is a hack/fix to allow true fullscreen for viewing, removing the bottom bar as well (as this bar is still there in fullscreen mode)
What would also be useful is if it were able to program the vol up and vol down buttons for scrolling
Now what are the odds?? Half an hour ago I was looking for absolutely the same thing with a friend of mine. We weren't able to find anything similar. I would appreciate some help as well!
I am looking the same thing
Yeah, me too.
We all are, lol
i gave up searching for a working pdf reader, i just convert them to .txt files and open them with alreader...
but if someody finds a real pdf reader I'll kiss his shoes
comicreader mobi has real fullscreen support but it doesn't support pdf yet. you have to convert them to cbz or cbr files (make images from each pdf page, add them to a zip and rename to cbz or to a rar and rename to cbr).
You can disable the toolbar in full screen mode via registry. It looks really good once disabled. I am on the train now, so cannot remember the keys but will reply again with the keys unless somebody else posts before me.
i will begin my search again tonight to find one.
i tried the allreader way before posting, and the tap bottom of the screen to turn pages is very nice. I will play with font size etc and see ho wi feel about that.
however it would be so easy to read pdf's from emails etc without converting if i could get the full screen reader.
don't get me wrong, its very usable as is, but such a waste of screen real estate while reading the pdf

People always knock wm, but you gotta love the tweaking you can do.
There you go:

From "1" to "0"
-->Softreset
On Adobe Reader-->Tools-->View-->Full Screen
Double Tap to exit fullscreen.

good job pal, thanks a lot
hmmm
itsa bit tedious to click the volume button that often as it only scrolls 3 lines per click.
anyways to make it scroll a whole page, or better yet, enable kinetic scrolling in pdf or enable that feature in allread that allows you to change pages by tapping the bottom right part of the screen?
thanks for all the help
Trash the LE Reader and search for the Adobe Reader for PocketPc 2.0 recompiled version for ARM processors. I hope this is legal, because Adobe seems to hide this version somehow. It has:
-Reflow
-Full Screen
-Tap to Scroll
I use this now for several years and it is still the best.

I don't get the part with "ARM processors"
Yes this is the right version. I installed this one (german version) and it didn't work on my HD2. After a longer search I found a version recompiled for ARM processors and that version worked fine. I recommend you try this one first and I will look if I find a link to the other version.^^
EDIT: OOOOPS sorry, I was wrong with the recompiled version. It was TCPMP recomp for ARM. Acrobat reader 2.0 should work fine.
