Netfront 3.1 on an NX80V

[clie_wannabe]

though ive gotten hold of the TH55's Netfront 3.1 from a friend, i wasn't able to test it on my NX80V because i had it sent in for repairs (faulty graffiti)

now, that ive gotten it back - PERFECT!!! is all i can say...

using the new Netfront, i can now access Microsoft Exchange's Webmail (Outlook Web)... i can also access MSN Hotmail... and i can also now access previously unaccessible internet banking sites!!!

what's more - no more "page too large errors"

hhhmmm... now that i have a good browser with me - do i have anymore need for my Zaurus SL-c750?

[clie_wannabe]

it is just a PITY that SONY is SO GREEDY that they wouldnt release this version to other CLIE owners.... and even stop all efforts to distribute the application... :mad:

well... sony is still enjoying its position in the top, but ill soon be awaiting its downfall... hehehehe... ;)

Question - since it's a relatively ginormous program, is it really worth having it in RAM - is it really that good? I have a copy of WebPro 3 I've managed to jam into flash with JackFlash on my NX80V, and that seems to have an advantage for me over NetFront 3.0 in that I'm not all the time switching from "scroll" to "input" and back again.

The downside with WebPro is there's a million little cach files or something all over the main memory. NetFront has only one, if I remember correctly.

NetFront can't go into flash I believe, according to the rules of JackFlash. I'm scared to death of JackSprat, frankly, but could probably be talked out of that by someone who'd used it succesfully on an NX80V.

Any thoughts, or is this just too out in left field?



tks

[dizzy]

does anyone know of a site where i can get netflash3.1? or if anyone is willing to share, can u send it to me at epterkim (at) comcast (dot) net? thanks!

[flat spin]

I would also be most apreciative to get a copy of 3.1 at worf (at) tiscali (dot) fr if anyone has the time. Thanks.

[Hakaida]

I wouldn't mind trying it, too, again, only if someone doesn't mind. Either PM me or email me. Whichever is easier for you.

Thanks.

tks Works perfectly from ROM thanks to JackFlash.

[MarkVI]

Could you please send it to me too? Thanks!

[Nikko1965]

If Sony won't do the decent thing in spite of all the money I've given them then maybe someone out there could PM it to me too?

Cheers!

[mshaf]

I've been tring to get it from someone too. COuld you please send it to shafmichael (at) hotmail (dot) come

[mshaf]

actually it's shafmichael (at) hotmail (dot) com

[anitanium]

how did you get NF3.1 working in flash?
is it something about using filez to rename the revision number?
i read it somewhere, but could someone clarify?

They use the JackFlash beta for OS5. Gives us a TON more room on a NX80V.

[anitanium]

but doesn't netfront already exist in the ROM of NX80 devices?
how did you bypass that?

[MarkVI]

Could someone pleae send it to markvi_fan (at) yahoo (dot) com?

Thanks!

[Ptah]

I did obtain a 3.1 from an UX or so I was told, but it fook'd my NX73.

The TH version is different? Or doesn't it work on a 73?

Why the **** can't I get it from the Netfront website? Is it obtainable elsewhere?

you dont need to bypass it

the OS looks for the app with the latest version number - you could have multiple netfronts in ram - 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.1; and youd still have 3.1 running

[clie_wannabe]

it seems my screenshot of the Hotmail under Netfront 3.1 hasn't been approve yet by the mods... hhhmmm

[meir87]

To anitanium: you just change the name of the file to netfront 31 instead of 3.
To clie_wannabe: upload your picture into the member gallery and then use the [iimg]url[/img] notation and there is no need to wait.

[clie_wannabe]

wow!!!

thanks for the TIP!!!

but now, with the help of Netfront 3.1 - kewl!!!

:rolleyes:

[mshaf]

I just checked clie-wannabe and didn't get one...could you please send it again or to my email: shafmichael@hotmail.com
Thanks!

[meir87]

BTW, I meant you could do this http://www.cliesource.com/gallery/data/506/4309HRCapt20040229132634.jpg

I did that by putting "http://www.cliesource.com/gallery/data/506/4309HRCapt20040229132634.jpg"

without the quotes.

[jpattigr]

Has anyone tried this on an NX 70? I have one and if sent will try.
jpattigr at Yahoo.ca

Thanks

[mshaf]

Cliewannabe,
Having trouble uploading to my NX80. Could you please give me step by step instructions on how to upload. Do I need to delete Netfront 3.0 first? Already had one hard reset...
Thanks for your help!

[meir87]

You can't delete NF 3.0. To install simply change the name from netfront3.prc to netfront31.prc then copy it onto your MS. Then using filez, change the version id from 1 to 2. After that simply copy it into your RAM and your free to use it or put it in to flash using JF.

[mshaf]

when i copy it onto the ms where should i put the file. Also, where in RA should I copy it to. Thanks for the help meir87!

[mshaf]

RA should have been RAM in previous post

[meir87]

Doesn't matter where on the ms you put it as long as you know where it is so that you can copy it into RAM (I would recomend the root directory for simplicity). As far as where to copy in to RAM I'm afraid I don't understand your question as there are no folders in RAM. Just select the file on the ms using filez and hit copy and select "to palmcard".

[mshaf]

oh ok i see thanx

[meir87]

No problem. Post back if it works.

[mshaf]

Meir87, How do I change the version ID?

[nofx]

anybody what to share the love?

[meir87]

Thats only necessary if you want to put it into flash. Select the file, hit details, and under version id just erase the 1 and write in a 2.

[mshaf]

When I try to copy or move the file it gives me an error which says: an error has prevented the file from being moved

[meir87]

Is it already on your MS and u can't move 2 RAM? If yes, try moving with a different file manager (clie files).

[nofx]

mshaf, somebody sent it to you........could you send it to me???
nofx@gti(dot)net, would really appreciate it......need to check outlook mail......please.......
