Opera Mini 5.1
A new version of Opera Mini was released today that is supposed to work better on phones with small screens (less than 200 px wide) and/or low memory (less than 4 MB free Java Heap). If Opera Mini 5.1 detects that it is running on a phone with low resources it uses a simplified user interface with a text rather than icon based start screen to reduce memory usage. There’s also a new *+0 shortcut to quickly switch between desktop and mobile view
I had high hopes that this would work on my i776 but it doesn’t. Just like with 5.0, the app installs and starts up displaying a “loading” progress bar that takes over 10 minutes to reach 90%, at which point the app hangs! I’m posting it for those of you who have a model like the i856, i9 and possibly the i465 that 5.0 worked on. This version of Opera Mini 5.1has been modified to install alongside of Opera Mini 4.1 and 5.0 rather than replacing them.

the phone i have iz the i465 and the opera mini 5 and 5.1 dont work on my phone. and i waz also wondering if there waz any browserz for my phone that letz me watch youtube if could you please add it to thiz website
I don’t know of any browser or app that will let you watch videos of any kind on an i465.
i have a sanyo incognito…can you download files with opera 5? It said it download a pic and a song but i cant find them in my phone?
I don’t have an Incognito so I can’t say for sure if this will work. But on other phones that have memory cards:
When you start a download you should get a pop up that shows where the file will be saved and has a dropdown that lets you change the location.
If you scroll to the bottom of the dropdown and click on “Other” it should show you “Phone Memory” and “Memory Card”.
Tap Memory card and you can drill down into the folders on the memory card and find a location to save.
You will need to experiment to find which folders the phone’s Gallery and Media Player use.
Install a file manager like Ultimate File Explorer and you should be able to move and copy files between folders on the memory card.
It’s REEALLLLY slow on IDEN phones. (probably not the i1 though). Just keep Opera Mini 4.2 in my opinion.
this regular version of 5.1 does run at comfortable speeds on my i856. i did notice the same occasional crash i had with the regular version of 4.2 when i would try to go to a page pulled up from a google search. also noticed some random pics didnt load.
Just intalled it on i776 for boost. Took forever. Not really worth it since 4.2 runs much faster and smoother.
