opera mini pointing to native opera

[BruceLee]

Whenever downloading a file with opera mini, native opera must be called with the link as an argument. Does anyone know which binary file is called? As I didn't manage to figure out.

Opera mini is just an example since all java apps do the same thing.

I was thinking of making a useful app but this is something essential for the development (I'm not giving more informations and/or hopes since I can't start anything without knowing which is the called binary)

Thanks

Actually I don't know exactly but this could but like

Operamini->kvm->am->native-opera browser

I think when opera tries to open a link and kvm (Java virtual Machine ) detects that this link can't be open by java application it redirects the link to Application Manager which then starts Native browser which then opens the link

I really not sure about the process but this can be almost 70%~99% correct

I hope this helps you

[BruceLee]

I'm aware of that.. But I still didn't manage to figure which binary is called exactly when calling opera.
I've tried getting the args of a couple of opera binaries I found but none received the link argument.

[kundancool]

try this

/usr/SYSjava/kvm -launch 00500

SYNTAX : /usr/SYSjava/kvm -launch xxxxx

this will launch the first java app installed in your phone memory

for more information about MIDlet number check this directory

/ezxlocal/.system/java/SystemApps/MIDletxxxxx

or use this command

ls /ezxlocal/.system/java/SystemApps/

I'm searching for the Native Opera binary that recieves the link.. Not the java kvm

I'm searching for the Native Opera binary that recieves the link.. Not the java kvm

The binary/Launcher which recieves the link is
/usr/SYSqtapp/opera/brwdaemon

I am not sure as this launches opera and there should be some argument to pass link

[BruceLee]

I've tried already that binary and it's not receiving link.

This is how I test:
- make a script that outputs all the args to a file /mmc/mmca1/args
- mount the script to the binary I want to test
- open opera mini and open any download link or something that makes native opera start
- the script is called and it outputs the args received

and it seems that that the link is not passed to this binary as an argument

EDIT:
Letting the terminal speak:

root@E6:/# clear; ps ax | grep -i opera
1536 ? S 0:01 /usr/SYSqtapp/opera/brwdaemon -d http://global-4-lvs-turing.opera-min..._V1._SX320.jpg
1542 ? S 0:00 /usr/SYSqtapp/opera/brwdaemon -d http://global-4-lvs-turing.opera-min..._V1._SX320.jpg
1552 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep -i opera

EDIT2:
I managed to make sort of a daemon which grabs the link from the native opera daemon and does something with it.
It's a very ugly method but it works.
Here it is if anyone is interested...

#!/bin/bash

# Make sure this is runned as root
if [ "$(id -u)" != "0" -a -z "$1" ]; then
exec /sbin/start-stop-daemon -S -c root:root -x "$0" -- restart
exit 1
fi

# Variables you can modify
debug="yes"
check_time=2 # seconds between 2 checks
running_flag="/tmp/SomeFlagName"
this=`basename $0`

debug() { if [ $debug = "yes" ]; then echo " $this@$$ > $@"; fi; }

# Check if daemon is already running
if [ -f "$running_flag" ]; then
# If already running kill the previous instance
pid=`cat "$running_flag"`
debug "Killing another running instance ($pid)"
if [ "`ps ax|grep -v grep|grep $pid`" != "" ]; then
kill -9 $pid
sleep 1
fi
rm -f "$running_flag"
fi

# Exit if the daemon was not killed
if [ -f "$running_flag" ]; then
debug "Another daemon is still running. Exiting."
exit
fi

# Put running flag
printf "$$" > "$running_flag"

# Mount foo over the opera binary so that it won't be launched
debug "Mounting foo over the opera binary"
mount --bind "$running_flag" /usr/SYSqtapp/opera/opera

# Start loop
debug "Entering the daemon loop"
while [ 1 = 1 ]; do
debug "New cycle" # FIXME: debug reasons
# Check if the opera daemon was launched
proc=`ps axo "%a" | grep -v grep | grep -i brwdaemon`

if [ "$proc" != "" ]; then
# If yes then try stealing the link from it
link=`printf "$proc" | tr '\n' '|' | awk -F'|' '{printf $NR}' | awk -F' -d ' '{printf $NF}'`
# If there is a link do something with it
if [ "$link" != "" ]; then
debug "Got link: $link"
fi

# Mount foo over the opera daemon so that it won't be auto-reloaded when killed
mount --bind "$running_flag" /usr/SYSqtapp/opera/brwdaemon
# Kill opera daemon
kill -9 `pidof brwdaemon`
sleep 0.7
# Restore normal opera daemon binary
umount "/usr/SYSqtapp/opera/brwdaemon"
fi

# Delay until the next check
sleep $check_time
done

# After killing this you should do the following commands with an external script:
# umount "/usr/SYSqtapp/opera/opera"
# umount "/usr/SYSqtapp/opera/brwdaemon"
# Otherwise you won't be able to use native opera untill reboot

Native opera can't be used while this is running,

Now that I know this can be done I can say what this is all about.
I'm thinking of making a download manager for EZX.
All I need now is time and knowledge..

good work Brucelee

really the terminal speaks the correct thing and the script to grab link is also good but still I will prefer a alternative so that we can get the link without disturbing opera
I have some interesting thing but I can show you in chat I can not test it as my E6 is dead and the thing required to test is not integrated in my A1200 FW

[BruceLee]

I have already started working on this and I'm making it in native ezx qt. Regarding the fact that this is my first qt attempt, it will take some time. Anyway it's much better than making it in sdl (although it could look way better in sdl)

Waiting for it
