Latest UC Browser 9.5 (Signed Java Version) Modified to Remove the Virtual Keypad On Samsung, LG and Other Touchscreen Phones

UC 91 With Virtual Keypad UC 91 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 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.

  1. I tried to install the signed version of UC 8.7, it gives me an error “invalid descriptor.”

    • UC hasn’t announced a new release on their site or forum. I downloaded the current version and except for the version number it appears identical to the one posted here. Probably just a change to the paid shortcuts on the front page.

      I’ll post 8.8 when it’s released.

  2. Sir i don’t know. how use many account in one site in uc browser. plz guide how to use multiple account manager in uc browser.

  3. Im using uc 8.6 but i cn’t ply any video on youtube it shows ! Define acces point first ! Downloading speed also vry slow 3 or 4 kbps….SIR PLZ HELP ME

    • UC isn’t a video player, it just passes videos to the phone’s media player or browser to handle. You need to the player and/or phone’s data settings.

      For the slow downloads, on many phones the built in browser is the best and fastest for downloading.

  4. no.its not work. I save a page in same folder where previous one saved. Bt cud not find them on new version. Plz help me.

  5. I saw it on Howard Forums. Specifically one person stated he downloaded from your site and got the qwerty keyboard.

  6. There is a menu button, but the only options for text entry settings are: language, show word candi, next word Predic; t9 dictionary.
    As for the virtual keyboard…if I go into “appearance” the virtual keyboard is on “never use”…the Keyboard type is either 123abc (t9) or qwerty. I’ve tried both…no change…just the telephone layout.
    If I use the regular TF browser, I get qwerty…if I use the Opera Mini (that I downloaded from your site), I also get qwerty. I’m at a loss…although I could use the Opera Mini, I prefer UCBrowser.
    HELP!

    • I don’t have the phone so I son’t know if it’s even possible to get a QWERTY keyboard. Opera has its own built in QWERTY so that’s why you see it there.

      It may be that the LG 840G only displays a T9 keyboard with Java apps. I know you said that other people see QWERTY with the UC browser on the LG 840G but I looked through the comments here and I don’t see anyone saying saying that specifically.

  7. I think that’s the UC Browsers own keyboard. You can turn it off by setting Virtual Keyboard” to “Never Use” in UC’s Menu under Settings > Display.

    That should give you the LG 840G’s normal keyboard as it appears in the built in browser. I don’t have the phone so I don’t know if the LG keyboard is QWERTY or T9. If it’s T9 in portrait, it might be QWERTY in landscape.
    ————————————————–

    I’ve tried everything you suggested and I still can’t get the qwerty keyboard. I, also, cleaned out the cache and cookies folder to avoid conflicts…and all I get is the keyboard that looks like a phone whether it’s in portrait or landscape. I know it works…others have been successful, so what am I to do now?

    • Is there a menu button on the phone keyboard you get? If so press it and see if it lets you switch keyboard types.

      Also, double check that Virtual keyboard is set to “never use” in UC’s settings. Don’t forget to press Save after changing it.

  8. hi. i tried todownload any video or audio song in my memory card more than 50mb or 2mb . he shows me insufficent disk space but my card memory is empty . please help me.

  9. how to view ucbrowser’s save pages online?
    actualy i update uc from 8.6 to 8.7 and all my save pages exits in my phone but cant find in uc. Plz help me.

    • I upgraded from 8.6 to 8.7 and my saved pages form 8.6 are still there in 8.7. In UC go to Home and click the toolbar’s Downloads icon (an arrow pointing downward) and you should see them. If you don’t see them, try saving a page into the same folder that you used for saved pages in 8.6 and see if that helps.

  10. If you download UCBrowser from the site (http://is.gd/uc87lg2), how do I get the qwerty keyboard? The download went well, but all I get is a keyboard like my phone and I’d have to tap everything multiple times to get the letter I want. I’d prefer a qwerty…is it possible? I used your suggested site for Opera Mini and it worked great…

    • I think that’s the UC Browsers own keyboard. You can turn it off by setting Virtual Keyboard” to “Never Use” in UC’s Menu under Settings > Display.

      That should give you the LG 840G’s normal keyboard as it appears in the built in browser. I don’t have the phone so I don’t know if the LG keyboard is QWERTY or T9. If it’s T9 in portrait, it might be QWERTY in landscape.

  11. hey denis. There is new update for UC. New version 8.7.1 released. Plz remove its virtual keypad. And i suggest those who want other important apps without d.pad, simply type apps name touch in google .thats it.

    • I see that the version number has changed on the UC download page. But I can’t find any information about any changes on the UC site or UC Forum. I suspect that it’s a minor update, possibly additional paid placements on the start page. I’d like to limit updates here to announced new releases.

      If you have more information about this release please share it here.

    • You have to understand that this is my personal blog where I write about things I’ve discovered and that interest me, mainly mobile browsers and browsing. It’s not a free service to modify apps for you. I’ve shared the technique now you need to do the work yourself if you want apps that I’m not interested in.

      “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” Chinese proverb

  12. Meaning is the code something you can give me and then i can add it to my other apps following the rest of your instructions in this article.

    • The lines I added are:

      LGE-MIDlet-On-Screen-Keypad: no
      LGE-MIDlet-Display-Mode: both

      I’ll update the post instructions to include those as well as fix the 8.7 download to include the new commands.

  13. Thanks for your share! I’m very interested in UC Browser 8.7 with Smart Account Manager. Does it support Vietnamese?

  14. denis when u add game and apps forum for samsung and lg phone yar. And plz mail me the newshunt apps modified to my email or post here plz plz.

  15. I tried the download links for the modified versions(8.7 & 8.6) as well as for the opera mini and the browsers downloaded and work on my lg840g but the keypad is still there. Any suggestions for this phone?

    • I don’t have that phone but the modded versions have been reported to work with other LG touchscreen devices. Your phone probably requires a different jad attribute to hide the keyboard. I’ll see if I can find out what it is and if I do I’ll a post a test version for you to try.

  16. how to go top/bottom of the page in touch mode of uc browser. I tried but did’t find shortcuts.

    • The “something” can be accessed very elsiay with PHP. If you have a web page address that looks like this:index.php? month=september&name=smith&age=24Then you can access those values in PHP like this:This will print septembersmith24.As for accessing a text file, that’s easy too:This will read the entire contents of the file textfile.txt into the variable $text, and then print it out for you.You can also access many databases with PHP, I highly recommend you use MySQL. It’s a bit too complicated to describe here, though. There are some good references made to good books by folks above. The “Teach Yourself” series is great.

  20. add operamini 5.2, 7, and 6.5 touch version but low size. Ur previus verSion of opeRa 6.5 and 7 too large.

  21. how i share modified files into server and how i get the file link. Also say me some site for that.

    • The files are already shared on Dropbox. You can re-share the link on Facebook or Twitter. Or you can download the jad and upload it to your own Dropbox or Plunder account if you want.

  22. now add some new touch games for samsung phone touch version. And add newshunt apps in touch version for my samsung champ deluxe phone. Plz
