Latest UC Browser 9.0 (Signed Java Version) Modified to Remove the Virtual Keypad On Samsung, LG and Other Touchcreen Phones

UC 90 With Virtual Keypad UC 90 Without Virtual Keypad

I did a post a while ago explaining how to modify Opera Mini's jad file to hide the unneeded touch keypad that displays at the bottom of the screen on some touchscreen phones. The post included a link to the modified Opera Mini. I received a request asking for a copy of the latest signed Java version of UC Browser modified to hide the keypad.

The process for modifying the UC Browser or any other Java app is exactly the same as what was described in the original post:

1.Download the app's jad file to a PC. You can get UC Browser jad files (signed or unsigned ) at www.ucweb.com/English/UCbrowser/platform.html?platform=java

2. Open the downloaded mini.jad with a text editor or Windows Wordpad

3. Scroll to the bottom of the file and paste in the following lines:

Nokia-MIDlet-No-Exit: true
Nokia-MIDlet-On-Screen-Keypad: no
Navi-Key-Hidden: true
UseNativeTextButtons: hide
ReverseSoftkeys: hide
UseNativeCommands: hide
MIDlet-Touch-Support: true
MIDlet-ScreenMode: ROTATE
MIDlet-Landscape-Support: true
LGE-MIDlet-Width: 240
LGE-MIDlet-Height: 400
LGE-MIDlet-On-Screen-Keypad: no
LGE-MIDlet-Display-Mode: both

4. Upload the file to Dropbox.com or another file sharing service that is easy to use in your phone browser. Click here to get a free 2GB Dropbox account (by using this referral link I get an extra 250 MB of storage in my Dropbox which I thank you for).

5. Visit Dropbox with your phone browser and click the modified mini.jad link to download it to your phone.

If that didn't work or you don't have a PC or are just in a hurry, here's are links to the latest signed version of the UC browser as well as some older versions.

Latest Version

UC Browser 9.0 (25-Apr-2013) The latest "full" (non-cloud) UC Browser release. According to UC, new features in it include:

  • Fast Video and Audio Playing We have designed the Fast Video and Audio Playing feature to break through storage limitation and poor network connection. The new feature allows users to play video files that have been saved to UDisk directly, without having to download those big files to local phone storage. Enjoy the fluent videos watching on Java Phone.
  • Account Information Saving To make logging-in to your favourite webpages more convenient, we’ve added the ability for you to save usernames and passwords on several websites, such as Facebook and GMail.
  • Improved User Interface We’ve given our user interface a makeover, optimizing the design to provide an enhancement of user experience. The menus, night mode, operation in touch screen phones and more has been optimized.
  • Bug Fixes The stability of this version has been increased and there have been numerous bug fixes, such as a solution to the missing Speed Dial issue.

      UC 8.9 probably got corrupted. Delete it and re-install.

      The only way to find the best browser for you and your phone is trial and error. The latest one is usually the best but if you have problems with it try progressively older ones until you find one that works.
      Comments are listed newest first under each post. There's also a link to to the ten most recent comments in the sidebar on every page of the site's PC version.

      There's not much you can do other than report the issue on the UC Browser forum and hope that they fix it. Use Opera Mini or the phone's built in browser for Facebook in the meantime.

      If you modified the jad and installed the app using the jad the keypad should not be there. I'm not sure what went wrong but check your work. If you can't figure it out paste the .jad text or a link to it in a comment and I'll take a look.

    Hello Dennis Bournique,

    I have uc browser 8.4 You told us before that u browser itself cannot play youtube movies, because that depends on the mediaplayer. First we had Android, also with a uc browser (probably an older version, but i can not remove version 8.4 now)
    But we have Meridian as mediaplayer , but also moboplayer does not work.
    Do you please have a suggestion?

    Kind regards Irene Reijnen

      It's a Beta. I will wait for the official final release on the main UC site.

      If you want the Beta follow the instructions in the post to create your own touch optinized version.

      The problem is probably due to the limited capabilities of your phone's media player and nothing to due with UC Browser. I bet you get the same results downloading the files with the phone's built in browser.
      I'm just a blogger and not part of the UC Browser development team so I can't fix UC.
      Please turn off your caps lock when commenting here. It's ugly, hard to read and makes you look like you are yelling.

      I don't understand what files you are trying to play or what playing files has to do with UC Browser.

      Also, what's "VDO"?

      In any case fixing bugs in UC Browser is beyond my abilities.

      UC Browser isn't a video player. It tries to open videos in the phone's native media player. So only video sites that work with the phone's built-in browser will work in UC Browser.
