Latest UC Browser 8.2 (Java) Modified to Remove the Virtual Keypad On Samsung, LG and Other Touchcreen Phones

Posted on April 20, 2012 by Dennis Bournique

UC 8 Shows with Default Touch Keypad on Samsung Wave UC 8 After Removing the Touch 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:

MIDlet-Touch-Support: True
UseNativeTextButtons: hide
ReverseSoftkeys: hide
UseNativeCommands: hide
 Navi-Key-Hidden: true
Nokia-MIDlet-On-Screen-Keypad: no

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.

I've posted the modified UC Browser 8.0 jad at:
dl.dropbox.com/u/4637247/UCBrowser_V8.0.3.107_Java_pf70(Build11112416).jad
Short link: is.gd/uc8touch. To install it, go to is.gd/uc8touch with your phone browser.

Update: 21-Mar-2012 UC Browser 8.2 Alpha has been released. It features many enhancements and bug fixes see my review for details. This is the latest patch release that adds swipe navigation and fixes a bug that made entering URLs on bada phones impossible:

dl.dropbox.com/u/4637247/UCBrowser_V8.2.0.132_Java_pf70_(Build12032111).jad
Short link: is.gd/uc82touch. To install it, go to is.gd/uc82touch with your phone browser.

Update: 20-Apr-2012 The Production (non-Beta) version of UC Browser 8.2.1 has been released. New features include a built in RSS reader and bookmark backup and restore. See my review for more details.

dl.dropbox.com/u/4637247/UCBrowser_V8.2.1.144_Java_pf70_(Build12041210).jad
Short link: db.tt/ajY88aHm. To install it, go to db.tt/ajY88aHm with your phone browser.

      I don't remember ever seeing a vuclip search in any version of UC. I don't see the point of having single site searches built into browsers. There's a site search on the vuclip site, use that. Or use Google with a "site:" query filter e.g. "world cup site:vuclip.com" to find world cup videos.

      Go to wap.ucweb.com with your phone's browser. It will detect your device and serve the best version, currently 8.2.

      That's true for the S8500 but not for all Samsung touch screen phones. Also the option to disable the virtual keypad was removed from bada 2.0 so if the S8500 ever gets 2.0 it will need this patch too.
