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 http://www.ucweb.com/ucbrowser/download/
2. Open the downloaded .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
ATT-MIDlet-VirtualKeypad-Use: No
4. Upload the file to a file sharing service that is easy to use in your phone browser.
5. Visit your file’s url 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.

Dennis Bournique, you know this is totally a helpful. anyway do you know how to change the BG colors? or the default color of UCbrowser theme?(the light-blue and white) without downloading a theme.
You can change the background color to black by choosing the Night theme (Settings > Display > Themes) There’s no way to change the theme except by downloading a different one.
I’ve bought a china phone and almost all usefull applications are installed into it from the company but I can’t do this ….So please tell me that how I can install Uc browser into it or any other browser???
You mean a fake iPhone or something like that? Some of them don’t let users install apps or don’t support Java at all.
If the phone supports installing apps one of the following methods should work.
1. Go to the website where the app is available using the phone’s browser and click the download link, the app should download and install
2. Download the app to a PC. Copy the the app (.jad file) to the phone’s memory card using a cable or card reader. Using the the phone’s file manager click on the app’s jad file on the memory card and the app should install.
but the operamini 7 modified version say too large when i download that. What i can do yar. I dont know how modified that plz modified that opera4.4 version and add here plz. For my samsung phone. Touch version.
I’ve posted Opera Mini 4.4 modified for touch here: How To Hide the Opera Mini Virtual Keypad On Samsung, LG and Other Touchcreen Phones
Lifted for ever
sir plz how i get opera mini4.4 full touch screen without vertual keyboard for samsung champ deluxe phone.
The process is the same for any Java app. There’s a modified version of Opera Mini 7 here: http://blog.wapreview.com/16785/ Much better than 4.4.
and plz add other browser modified version here like bolt, ibrowser, QQ for samsung phone
Bolt doesn’t work. The servers have been shut down. I never heard of ibrowser or QQ.
when i download jad file of ucbrowser then i open it with wordpad but there no text seen. Just file name yar.
You downloaded an empty file somehow. Try downloading it again.
PLZ call me yar in [phone number removed] i want to discuss about edit jad file system
Ask your question here so everyone can benefit from the answer.
Plz add more uc browser and latest that means ucbrowser8.6 signed version and full touch like others for my phone samsung champ deluxe. Plz quick add that. As soon as posible
I won’t be able to get to it until next week. 8.6 is only a minor upgrade, but if you are in a hurry the post tells you how to modify it yourself.
I’ve added UC 8.6 modified for touch to this post.
How can i keep more than one versions of ucbrowser without replacing the existing one?
You have to modify the jar and change the Midlet-Name. Instructions here:
What’s the difference
between v8.3, 8.4, &
8.5?
Is this app can now download games?
’cause mine is only
making a trash.
Will you please tell me.
The differences between UC Browser versions are the new features listed above for each version.
The built in browser is usually best for downloading and installing apps.
In the USA java phones are not sold much but in the outer world they are, most made in China and India. My new touch screen is Chinese, running java sava os it doesnt talk like the iphone but does everything else like a highend smartphone. Its a no name brand. Plenty small companies in China making them, not all, but some work great. The Chinese are very good at it.
Thanx your ucbrowser is very good. Can you plz send me the link of operamini 7.0 verisgn fullscreen.
There’s a link to it here: How To Hide the Opera Mini Virtual Keypad On Samsung, LG and Other Touchcreen Phones
I like your updated uc browsers:-)… Can you please send the updated opera mini brower with no virtual keypad on my email id [Email Address Removed]:-)…… Please.
Posting your email address on the open internet like you just did is asking for a ton of SPAM.
It’s not scaleable for me to email links to everyone which is why I post them on my blog. You can find the download link for the modified Opera Mini at: http://blog.wapreview.com/16785/
I wan’t to see apple safari
Go to the Apple Store :)
very good
Wow it so make sence ooo keep it up
uc browser 8.3 is not supprted my phone
my is samsung Gt-s5270k
when you open the .jad file with windows wordpad you just need to look for the following line:
Nokia-MIDlet-On-Screen-Keypad: yes
and change it to:
Nokia-MIDlet-On-Screen-Keypad: no
in case you can’t locate the line, just scroll to the bottom of the file and paste in the latter.
this works for me.
People still use Java ME?! The cheap galaxy phones like Mini and Gio costs less than most S40 phones and more powerful than “1GHz” s40 phones with no multitasking.
Samsung phone support unsigned apps easily and it does not create problem in using .jar modified app.
So please upload the .jar modified version also.
Many net user want .jar version
There are many tutorials on the web that show you how to modify the jar as well as many sites with modified jar downloads. I don’t see any reason for me to duplicate them.
I wrote this post to show how to modify the jad to get rid of the virtual keyboard because it is has many advantages and is less well known then jar modification.
Hey u can use this code in .jar version.Just open with winrar and then drag and drop MANIFEST.MF folder and open it with Notepad and these lines to remove virtual keypad-
MIDlet-On-Screen-Keypad: no
MIDlet-Scaleup-Support: False
MIDlet-Touch-Support: True
(If above three lines don’t work,then add these two below lines also)-
LGE-MIDlet-Width: 240
LGE-MIDlet-Height: 400
(That’s all.Save and Enjoy)
http://www.twitter.com/tecknoamit
That works but modifying the JAR is more difficult, has no advantages that I can see and means the app is no longer signed.
It’s easier to modify the JAD and is the only way if you want or need the signed version.
Nice.,i want to try in Nokia 311 if this phone available in market.,
Plzz update to 8.4.0
Thank’s Man
/…
This is Very usefull
I cn’t upld photos on fb..thrugh Uc browses 8.2 ,plz help me.
Not all phones allow third party apps like the UC Browser to access the file system which is necessary to upload photos using the browser. Using a signed version of UC browser may help, but if that doesn’t work you can always upload photos by sending a picture message to your Facebook email upload address.
check in settings if photos are not blocked
What is this in reply to? Use the reply link below the comment you are replying to so your comment will appear below it.
which browser is best for samsung champ deluxe duos (it already has an in-built browser and opera mini 6 but that doesn’t works nicely)
thanks for .jad file of uc with removed virtual keypad.
The best browser is the one that works best for you on your phone. I don’t have a champ deluxe duos so I have no idea which might be best. You say Opera Mini 6.0 doesn’t work well so try 6.5 or stick with UC if that works well.
super
I m using uc..but photos are not opening in my fb accnt..what should i do?
Browsing is speed but downloading very slow
Please modify the .jar version uc browser for touch screen
If I modify the jar it will invalidate the signature. Why can’t you use the .jad?
hey sir plz update d 8.2.1.144
Exiting d virtual keypad
4 samsung n lg phoneS
What do you mean? The last link on the page IS 8.2.1.144.
Iam using uc browser 8.0.3.107 But it doesnt have vido search engine (vuclips.com videos) which vertion have that tool. Iam using sonyericsson yendo w150i mobile. Which vertion is best for my mobile for downloading videos and how would i get that vestion to my mobile.
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.
Wch uc version is best 4 my samsung monte gt.5620
UC hasn’t tested that phone. Try 8.2 and if it doesn’t work try 7.2 Lite.
ok
like
Which version suitable for samsung champ E2652
as given advise 7.2.0.46 lite version is not work so well
I don’t have an E2652 to test with but 7.2.0.46 lite is the version that UC recommends for that phone. You should as on the UC Browser Forum maybe someone there who has that phone can suggest something.
UC BROWSER 8.2 versions is not good because mostly times give a error.
Try it
Which version suitable for samsong champ e2652 as advice by 7.2 is not supported
UC recommends the UC Browser 7.2.0.46 Lite version for the Samsung e2652
For samsung s8500 no need for a patched app just change use virtual keypad or not in apps.
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.
hey sir
