Opera Mini 5 Final
Opera released the “final” (not Beta) version of Opera Mini 5 today. The Opera Mini 5 changelog claims that this version has “Improved performance on low memory devices” so I had high hopes that it would work on my i776 where previous releases had not. Unfortuanately it still doesn’t work on my i776. Just like the Betas, it downloads and installs but when I try to run it it hangs when the “loading…” progress bar is at 100%. So close, yet so far.
The last Beta reportedly worked reasonably well on the i9 and i856 so I’m posting the final version for users of those two iDEN phones. It may work on other models but I doubt it.
Normally installing this release of Opera Mini 5 would replace Opera Mini 4.2, if it’s installed. Seeing as 5 doesn’t work at all on iDEN phones and prior versions had some issues even on the i9 and i856, I’ve renamed this copy from “Opera Mini” to “Opera Mini 5” (following this “Renaming Java Applications” tutorial) so that it can coexist with 4.2 rather than replacing it. You can safely download and install this version of Opera Mini 5 without affecting your Opera Mini 4.2 installation.
If you download this please leave a comment as to whether it works or not and what phone you are using. And if it fails to install or you encounter bugs please also file a bug report at mini.bugs.opera.com. When filing a report it will ask you for the build number and version. The values you should enter are 18635 and “5.0”. Filing bug reports is the best way of getting problems with software fixed. You can also report issues on the Opera Mini User Forum, but bug reports are supposed to be more effective.

i want to install free suitable version of operamini for my nokia Asha 200. but it has not been done. please help.
If the versions on this site don’t work, go to http://m.opera.com with your phone’s browser and click the download link.
there are a couple apps like the IM, Navigation,and Myspace.. they all came already on my phone… i used them before just now when i click on them it says no handler… i have looked under my stuff and cant find the apps I download.. also how do i turn on javascript?
I have no idea why the pre-installed apps would give you that handler message. Never heard of that before. Try taking the battery out for a couple of minutes and then retrying. If that doesn’t help you could try calling Boost although I suspect they won’t have an answer.
When you download apps to the Seek you need to do it by going to Boostapps with the phone’s browser and clicking the JAD link. Don’t use the Send to Phone button, that’s for Motorola i Series phones only.
Not sure about the browser. Look in the browser’s tools menu for the Javascript setting. It might be on the View tab.
Hey… why dont anything show up on my phone after I download it? it says run once its downloaded, so i try to and it says Java power then nothing.. if i go to downloaded apps or watever it doesnt showup… I have the samsung seek.. also it says i have to get handler for pre downloads?
If the install succeeded, the app will be be stored in My Stuff > Applications.
The built in browser displays a “no handler” message for any type of content it can’t handle. However there are no handlers that you can install. I don’t know what you mean by “pre” downloads. What are you trying to download?
where do i get a handler to play youtube on my sanyo juno?
The Juno isn’t video capable. There is no handler.
i want to delete operamini from my sanyo phone please help ok, it show a lock symbol when i go to applications an it wont delete thanks
If Opera was pre-installed by the phone manufacturer you can’t delete it. If it wasn’t pre-installed you should be able to delete it. If it’s running in the background you may need to exit it before you can delete it. If it still shows as locked when it’s not running there should be an unlock option in the same menu where delete is.
