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.

What’s the error message when you try to open the browser?
Does the unmodified version from wap.ucweb.com work?
Oh, it seems an error occured!
Possible Cause:
This site is temporarily unavailable,please try it later.???
That’s UC Browsers generic error message whenever anything goes wrong. Possible causes include:
Mistyped URL
UC Browser server error
The site you are tying to reach is down.
Try restarting the browser and/or reporting the issue on the UC Browser Forum: http://forum.ucweb.com/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=102

Hai frnds my phone is samsung gt_e2652 it does not support uc can you help me
:-] dennis,just want to compliment you on your site,its full of helpful information.sir,I downloaded a ton of games,3 versions of uc,one browserand opera mini.i was having very fast browsing w/the 8.9 version,but last fdw days the pages half load and just sit there.are there too many browsers there and which should I stick with (huawei U7519 ). also,it took me an hour(page by page) to get to ” newest comments.” Is there a shortcut? thanks!
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.
hi,new here.can anyone plz tell me the best browser version for my huawei U7519? also,most sites say “java not enabled” yet i know it is on in settings menu.(items downloaded to my apps run in java fine)
UC recommends version 7.2 Lite for that phone, Get here: UCBrowser_V7.2.0.46_Java_pf71_(Build10071909).jad

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.
For almost a week now i couldn’t open my facebook account through uc brower. Kindly help or advice
What error do you get when you try?
sir, actually i don’t understand what you want to say ? How can i reinstall my older software?….. Is this browser not work on my new software

Its run only 240×300 screen size,not in full size 240×400 (with keypad)

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.
Can you help me….

Easy to use UC Browser 8.9 version
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
I can’t help you troubleshoot “does not work”, it’s too generic.
Please describe what happens when you click the Play button or link on a video on http://m.youtube.com using the UC Browser?
Sry the link is here http://dc624.4shared.com/download/ZqPuy_re?tsid=20130206-074837-ab268dec

You need to change the MIDlet-Name in MANIFEST.MF so each version has its own name. See: http://forum.ucweb.com/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=25551&pid=313515 for instructions.

You need to put the jad in your Dropbox Publc folder.

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.
SIR WHEN I DOWNLOADED VIDEOS OR SONGS, ETC. FROM UC BROWSER AND THEN PLAY IT I FOUND THAT VIDEOS OR MP3S BREAKING DOWN FROM MANY PLACES AND CLARITY IS ALSO NOT GOOD PLZ FIX THIS PROBLEM
PLZ PLZZZ
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.
can u add a UC browser 8.3 Cloud version jad (signed) in ur list i need it badly
Please provide touch screen uc web for java
Download links for the latest touch screen version of the UC Browser are in the post.
Sir when i play the downloaded files then vdo breaking down and when i exit to my brower then my all files remove my handset is samsang C3312 so plz modefie this ver. 8.8
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.
excellent
Can 8.8 play video? im trying it in my phone but it cant.( gt-s3850) is my phone. pls reply ASAP
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.
when i exit, all downloaded files and saved pages removes. I exit mannualy.
uc 8.8 is amazing plz add here modified as soon as u can denis.
uc browser 8.6 and uc browser 8.7 is not working in my lg t375.
