Re: New Minimo build 0.16.9-1
 

I'm sorry I was confused with Opera considering the hardware button. I have the n800 for only a week. But you're right, an option for the icons would be a nice.

Re: New Minimo build 0.2
 

Thanks Antonio!

Small problem: when activating the onscreen keyboard, the keyboard's "menu" option (where you get access to the cut/copy/paste functions) is now broken... this menu flashes briefly but quickly closes. Thus I am unable to paste info into Minimo.

Re: New Minimo build 0.16.9-1
 

This is awkward, not being able to activate the navigation controls in full-screen mode... once upon a time there was a menu that one could activate to reach the navigation controls.

In addition, closing tabs does not always work... certainly for active windows ("transferring"). For example, with maps.google.com the resulting windows stays in "transfer" mode, the stop control does not work... and the close-tab control does not respond... what happens next is that minimo's screen switches to tab-less mode... and I am unable to get it back to tabbed mode, nor to close the current window.

Thanks tonikitoo, this is by far the app with the most potential on the N800. I installed yesterday and will try it out, it already seems to be a lot more stable and faster.

Re: New Minimo build 0.2
 

I just gave this version a quick spin and is it just me or does it appear quicker to load sites than Opera? :)

The lack of any menu in full screen mode makes it a pain to use, although I actually quite lack the fact there is no toolbar and could live with just a context menu. As things stand I have to switch back to non-full screen mode in order to change to a different site or go back to my homepage (my homepage is a web page where I keep my bookmarks - kind of like Homebase) then revert to full screen.

Also, the inability to scroll the page using the stylus (because the default behaviour is to select text) is seriously annoying as I hardly ever want to select text, please make scrolling the default stylus behaviour in the next build! :D

I know there are several other things which aren't quite there yet (Homebase and Bookmarks don't seem to be working in this build) but if you can fix the full screen context menu, add support for the Back/escape and Menu buttons, and change to stylus scrolling by defauilt then Minimo is in serious danger of replacing Opera as my default N800 browser! :)

Re: New Minimo build 0.16.9-1
 

Yup, minimo has been inching tantalizingly close to daily-use quality for the last three versions, but there's always this or that little detail left...

Re: New Minimo build 0.2
 

indeed, i wrote about the problem already. this is (mainly) what keeps me off from using/trying minimo, the missing ability to use keyboard context menu. since i often use copied links, i have to use opera.
but bugzilla seems to me unused or i have no access to submit a bug

Re: New Minimo build 0.16.9-1
 

Good news, the fix for the icon toolbar in fullscreen mode is almost ready. That was quick ! But then it's not a Nokia project :-)

New Minimo build 0.20.1 available
 

guys,

as many of you requested, I just upload a new build enable icobar while in fullscreen mode !!!!!!

new features are being implemented in minimo upstream ;)

Re: New Minimo build 0.16.9-1
 

Tonik!

Thank you so much for spending time on this project and actually listening to what the users need, it really makes a big difference and if I where nokia, I'd be giving you an award for innovation, thankyou!

Re: New Minimo build 0.16.9-1
 

Thanks Antonio !!

Re: New Minimo build 0.16.9-1
 

I am giving this (Minimo) a try. I have installed it successfully, but don't know where the "enter" key or button is located so that after I type in a web site I want to go to, what do I do next to actually go there? (Of course, I am connected to the internet when I attempt this.)

Re: New Minimo build 0.16.9-1
 

Simply hit return (enter) on the virtual keyboard :-)
BTW, thanks Antonio. So far everything looks good.

Re: New Minimo build 0.16.9-1
 

Not sure if this is a dumb question...but I can't figure out how to edit the Homebase page. I can add bookmarks to it, but how can u delete or modify them?

Thanks for the great effort on this port. Nokia should have done it...

Re: New Minimo build 0.16.9-1
 

Am still unable to access a designated web site via my Minimo installation. The return button on the virtual keyboard doesn't do it (after I've typed in the url and am on line). Are there any instructions for use of this (Minimo) application? Of course, I can use Google fine. So ... why am I bothering with this???

Re: New Minimo build 0.16.9-1
 

humm ... could you better explain your problem ?

Re: New Minimo build 0.16.9-1
 

1. I connect to the internet.

2. I go into "Extras" and click on the "Minimo Browser" icon.

3. A screen appears with numerous icons on the bottom.

4. I tap the magnifying glass icon and a "Find" box appears along with a virtual keyboard.

5. Using the virtual keyboard, I type in a subject of interest, as I would do with Google.

6. At this point, I am stumped. What do I tap with my stylus to effect a search? The normal "return" key on the virtual keyboard doesn't accomplish this. It only serves to hide the virtual keyboard. There is alongside the "Find" box a "Next" designation, but a tap on this also does nothing.

Re: New Minimo build 0.16.9-1
 

The find icon is for finding text on a web page. At the bottom of the screen below the icons is a space. Tap there and enter your URL.

has anyone tried to listen to sirius satellite radio with this browser?

Re: New Minimo build 0.16.9-1
 

Expediter: Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction. That works fine.

Hi tonikitoo,

from http://www.maemo.org.br/minimo/dists.../binary-armel/ I am unable to to see anything but the 0.20.1 version. Is there another URL for this version?

Thanks-
