Opera Mini 6 fullscreen on Samsung Jet S8000

Summary: To get Opera Mini 6.1, fullscreen, on your Samsung S8000 Jet, point your phone to this web address: http://bit.ly/pE1GkS. Enjoy!

Update 2011-07-07: Now with Opera Mini 6.1. The link above now points to the JAR file itself, not the JAD file as before. I had some problems with getting the modified JAD to work. The linked JAR is the "English (International)" version, according to Opera's pages. The installation (when you start Opera Mini for the first time) took a few minutes on my phone, so please be patient.

When you go to the download page for Opera Mini/Mobile for the S8000 you get:

"Based on testing performed by Opera Software, this device supports Opera Mini 4.3."

Well, I am sure it does! But so did Opera Mini 5, and I am quite sure Opera Mini 6 will work nicely as well, except for one thing: Opera Mini does not tell S8000 that it supports touch, so the phone puts an extra set of keys in the lower area of the screen when the application is running, taking up valuable screen real estate.

Luckily, the solution is quite simple: Add the following setting to the JAD file that describes the application (the file you get when you choose to download Opera Mini 6 anyway, but to a regular computer):

MIDlet-Touch-Support: true

And then use that JAD file instead to install Opera Mini 6. The one I fixed is provided above, so go ahead and download it to your phone right away!

I am not sure if Opera ever sorted out their JAD file for Opera Mini 5, but until it is fixed for Opera Mini 6, it is available here, at least.

Note: This fix might work/be needed on some other Samsung phones as well, but I only have the S8000 myself.

I was four days in Stockholm this summer. It is a very likable place to be. Below are 16 photos of what I stumbled upon while walking the streets and paths. Areas of focus were Kungsholmen, Södermalm and Djurgården. Enjoy (the pictures are clickable)!

At first, it didn't move, so I thought it was a sculpture. I haven't looked into what kind of bird it is.

The photos were taken during two of the four days. The first day was mostly spent in the Royal Palace (photos prohibited) and in shopping streets. The pictures above are from the two following days.

The last day was mainly spent at Fotografiska, a quite recently opened museum for contemporary photography. Definitely a place to visit!
