[Tips And Tricks] Optimizing Opera Mini 5 ( Part 1 : Speed )

Out of my boredom, I decided to write some tips and info’s about OM5. The browser I usually send my friends through bluetooth. Today’s post focuses on Opera Mini 5’s Speed.

1. Browser Boot Up.
This refers to the time the java app takes until it is fully launched. This differs through various cellphone OS/units. In my experience with my N70, handler apps with settings windows on start increases the delay. So a mild fix I found was to install the midlet in phone memory.
2. Page Load Time.
This now refers to how fast OM5 renders a page. Of course, it depends on the page size, the bigger, the slower.
Things you can do: input in address bar opera:config and set everything to “NO” except “fit text to screen” option, then save. Set image quality to medium or low for a not-quality based browsing. Set protocol to SOCKET when it is available and working for you. Switch to UMTS or Dual Mode if your phone can and your network provides it.
3. File System Access.
This refers to the time it takes you accessing your file system (uploading/downloading). Of course, the lesser pop up’s, the faster. This is solved by using a signed OM or maybe h4cking through phones security. It dependes on phone unit. Least I forget, the downside of OM5, it dont remembers previously accessed path..

These are just among simple things and info’s you might know or might not know. Hope you learned something.
