Opera mini 5.1 The most important thing for your phone

If you want any decent speed and functionality of browsing when using gprs (the dolphin browser lags and is slow too) Then use opera mini 5.1
It compresses data before downloading so its fast and cost effective on limited data connections.

The trick to make apps/games rotate when slided and get rid of white box

You'll need to do a bit of programming here(just copy pasting actually).
Alright here's the deal. The games that you download will not rotate when you slide keyboard out and will have an irritating white box at bottom of the screen. Here how you get rid of these problems:
First off download winrar. Now with winrar installed download any game/app that you wanna modify.
Right click the app and select open with winrar. Open the file "Manifest.mf" in "Meta-Inf" folder with notepad. If its not opening with notepad, here's the trick. create a new text document and name it as "xyz.mf" Right-click it and select open with. Now check the box saying always use this to open these type of file(or something to that effect). Now you've set the default program to open .mf files notepad.
Anyways when you open Manifest.mf with notepad add the following lines at bottom:
X-Pax-Keyboard: Qwerty
X-Pax-TextInput-Hidden: true
MIDlet-Touch-Support: TRUE
MIDlet-ScreenMode: ROTATE

Save changes to the archive and exit. Now install that app and Enjoy!!!

Installing Games and Applications

The OS of this phone has an annoying security bug. It won't let you install .jar files directly.

You need to make an html file along with the .jar file. Here's how you do that:
First goto My computers and click on tools on top of the window
Goto Folder options and go on the view tab. Now scroll down to hide extensions for known file types and make sure its UNCHECKED.
this will show all extensions like .html .exe .rar etc after name of file.

Creating an Html File is easy. Just right click anywhere--------> new----->text document.
now copy paste this in the newly created document
<html><body><a href="_______">install _______</a></body></html>

where the _________ is replace with name of the game along with extension (to get correct name right click on .jar file goto properties and copy the title)
eg: for installing opera mini my code will look like this
<html><body><a href="opera.jar">install opera.jar</a></body></html>
where opera.jar is the name of app i want to install
now save the text document and save it as anything.html
Now tranfer this .html file along with .jar to your phone via USB.
Open .html in phone and click on link that appears.

Also to avoid all this you can directly download games/apps with your phone. Or if you have any other cell with bluetooth then you can transfer games on this phone(from PC) and then transfer them to your phone via bluetooth.
This security measure was probably taken to prevent us from installing free 3'rd party apps/games by promoting us to buy games from the samsung store which get installed easily.

For those who have youtube/Palringo problem

Ok all you guys who have trouble with palringo AND youtube. Here's my solution. It works for me. the reason your phone doesn't connect/ play vids is because the internet connection is using a proxy. Ie it is using another server to connect to the site servers, In other words you are not directly connecting to the site.
The solution is to delete all your internet profiles and master reset your phone(make backups and note that all your games/apps will be lost). Master reset by inputting this code *2767*3855#
Now when the phone restarts go to internet profiles. Check all of them and select the one which has proxy address as 0.0.0.0:00 (give or take a few zeros)
Now check by using YouTube. If YouTube is working palringo definitely works. Not when you master reset all the games you have unlocked are locked again, and you need to have the unlock code to unlock them again.
Also before resetting backup your contact numbers. And before formatting check whether you already have the Proper non-proxy settings. If you do there's no need to format. Of course if you absolutely don't wanna reset you can enter the settings manually.
Just google your service provider along with "Internet settings". Eg: "idea internet settings". this will give you details about the profile which you can then manually enter
