Now you can open a java app directly from the activity menu. All you need is the unsigned jad of that app. Put it in the other folder, in memory card. Let's say the name of jad is mini.jad. Add a bookmark named Opera Mini (its's a shortcut to Opera Mini). In the address type "file:///card/other/mini.jad". Now open the bookmark. It should look like you will download Opera Mini. Press "no". Then press activity key, go to internet and open Opera Mini bookmark. Press continue BUT when it asks you to replace the app press "no". Then it will ask you again if you want to open the app, select yes and voila! Even if you transfer a file via bluetooth or play an mp3 from file manager, it works, trust me!
Sorry for my English...

You are right. I have also operamini as a soft key on my K850i. One touch and connected to net.

I really dont understand what his shortcut all about?

You guys don't understand me! I'll explain you again! Once you have that bookmark, press the shortcut key, press right twice to go at the internet shortcuts and choose the opera mini bookmark(or any other bookmark to a jad file!) No need to mod your phone by adding a special shortcut, or to leave an app always opened just to appear in activity menu! You need to have that aplication already installed! Hope you understand this time!

activity menu isn't in standby right? if it is, i'm sorry, my fault! for me, the activity menu it's the menu after you press the shortcut key, on sony ericsson of course, and not the menu in standby on the orange branded phones!

Menu > Settings > General > Shortcuts.
Or press activitymenu >Shortcuts >ad (at the bottom of the list)

Just assign operamini to one of the directional key (d-pad/joystick) and thats it. In standby you press the directional key and directly operamini opens.

Path to set this is already given above by my friend, hihihans.

you can't add an app to the activity menu. It goes up to the apps folder.
