Hi,
I just installed the new K-Jam rom (K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship) and everything seems to be working fine apart from opera 8.5 beta 2 which worked very well with my older rom and now opera displays gibberish in the URL (address) line - it's similar to the windows windings font with lot's of weird characters.
The pages that I browse display ok too apart from some content like the google "search" button.
It seems to me like the wrong font is used in some parts of opera
Any ideas?
Works fine here, give me a url you are having issues with and I will try it on my KJAM with the latest ROM and Opera B2
I am having the same problems with Opera since ROM upgrade. When typing in a URL or a google search or anything, the font is similar to windings (i.e. not readable).
i found this beta really slow and screen becomes unresponsive using wifi. Installed cos of tabs but gone back to IE.
I managed to solve this problem by using Tweaks2k2.NET:
* I copied a verdana font from my windows xp machine to the pocketpc windows folder
* using Tweaks2k2.NET - chose the verdana as the default system font.
* Problem solved.

hi guys
I am using the O2 Exec and just upgraded to Qtek's latest WWE ROM. However I noticed that after upgrading, that some programmes display weird symbols instead of normal text. These programmes include:
- Opera browser
- Today Time (a today plugin telling the time, written by a member here)
Is there any way to get rid of these symbols?
ok found the solution
basically its a problem on Opera side. All you need to do is to copy a system font (i chose Arial) from your desktop PC to the windows folder of your PPC.
Note: It's the windows folder and not the windows/font folder.
That should do the trick and you can now use one of the best browsers on one of the best PPCs.
Hope that helps
Worked for me. Thanks.
I am grateful for the tip .... it solved me a lot of hassle
regards
Ok, I hope I dont get ripped into for this..but I couldnt find the answer.
I always found the web browsing experience pretty woeful on my X1...esp compared to the ifone. When you scroll up/down its juddery, giving me the two grey squares until it catches up on itself. Its really bad. I have installed various versions of Opera...the one I have stuck with is the version i found on this forum...when zooming you use an invisible scroll top right on the screen (does that make sense?)
Anyhoo, I then installed the superb Touch-it4.5...the version of opera in it is truely awesome! The juddering was gone, silky smooth and had a zoom button bottom left which worked even better than the version I was using...but...the hardware keyboard didnt work (I noticed a few other people had the same issue and the fix was to install another version). When going back, its all juddery again...did anybody get a fix for that version? What version does everybody else use as there are so many floating about.
Also, a little of topic but I was reading about a version of Opera (only on the symbian os so far?) that when you are presented with a bunch of buttons or text boxes (say for example a login/pass box) you simply click on them and it enlarges the boxs to full screen automatically and makes it alot easier to put in usernames/passes etc.
Thanks in advance folks, maybe once we get a complete fool proof guide we could stick the findings into the x1 tweaks, apps and panels thread!

Unfortunately the working and non-working items are all within the Opera9.exe itself:
1. Vibration
2. Scroll with optical pad
3. Zoom with volume buttons
4. HW keyboard interaction.
5. PushInternet support
So there's very little chance of a "perfect" Opera version. I use 15991 with Zoom enabled on a PI enabled ROM or 15696 on a non-PI ROM.
You could try and switch on "Smooth Scrolling" in opera:config and see if that helps with the judderiness...
You should wait for 9.7 to be released
I had the exact same issue.
I downloaded Opera 9.5 BETA and it works a charm. The UI is slightly different (colours) to the one installed with 4.5 Touch-IT ROM but it works perfectly for me.
The only issue is that I have to launch it as a seperate program from my start menu. I cannot seem to make it my default browser (I have no idea how to do that!) and how to get the Internet tab "launch browser" to launch Opera 9.5 and not the standard Opera.
Also if you run the standard Opera installed with 4.5 Touch-IT ROM, close it and then try to run Opera 9.5 BETA, it only loads the standard Opera, not 9.5.
I have to turn my phone off and back on to solve this and start using 9.5 from my start menu.
Long winded but its how I cope..
Opera 9.5 b2 with Gears
I use the gears version now.
I had so many problems with logging into sites with the version that ships with the phone that I gave up. The stock version only plays lip-service to being able to use flash anyway so I don't feel I'm losing out.
Also, the caching and navigation to previous pages is way faster in the gears version of the browser. Occasionally it slows down and thinks about things for a little while, and it forcing back to the default keyboard every time you try to enter stuff into a text-box, but its a beta after all so what do you expect?!
Obviously the gears version doesn't have flash support but I can't say I've missed that, since the stock version wasn't that hot anyway ;o)

If you paste the Opera9.exe, OperaL.exe and setup.dll files in to \Windows Manila will launch whatever version is there - for the second point II think the Manila files need ameding - haven't loooked yet though.
Hey, i recently downloaded the opera mobile 9.5 due to the hype of everyone here on the forums however i experienced issues with it. Such as the url bar dissapearing while i was typing in a web address and difficulty with the keyboard. I would like to go back to the standard opera mobile found on the x1 however i cant seem to find any versions other than 9.5 beta. Any help suggestions?
standard opera mobile from x1 rom is in the windows folder. You will find a cab there. Just install it and everything must be fine again.

Opera Mini 5 Beta has been released!!!!
Tried installing it on my Ozone using the Esmertec Jbed Java App and opera doesnt work.
So, un-installed it, installed the Rose JBed ver 20080808 - found here -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438581
And so far so good... I think I like Opera Mini 5... we'll have to see though.
Now just working on creating a new shortcut for it
Edit - here's the shortcut to launch Mini 5 automatically, you just have to use the Rose JBed above and install it to your storage card.
Cool
Thanks for that Jbed to run it. Works pretty good but I put in a bug report about Jbed 20090216.5.1 so hopefully we can get it working on that one too.
thanks for the info. it looks much more slick than v.4 I don't know whether I like the cursor thing. I am used moving from field to field with button press.
I can't seem to sign into gmail. I have to play with it more.
...for some reson it's acting strange on my Snap....when I push the "a" on the keyboard, it reads it as "g" in Opera. It makes getting into my yahoo mail kinda problematic
I use Opera because it's FAST. Anyone have any opinions whether the new beta is as speedy as version 4.2?

haven't actually clocked it, but 5 seems faster than any previous version so far for me. The interface and tabs are very slick and snappy. now for that skinny unreadable font...apparently jbed rose is all it will run on atm, so I've been messing with my registry trying to change fonts...but all I've managed to do is change the environment font, opera still uses its same ugly proprietary font no matter what.
Obviously I'm digging in the wrong place...can anyone direct me to the correct registry or xml file to change the app font?

Use JZ SmartMort. In the JZ Settings program: General Tweaks / Hacks -> JBed Java -> JBed Font Sizes. Mess around with them to your content.
Before you do that though, do take a look at the font settings within Opera Mini itself: Settings -> Font size
is anybody else having issues when typing any letters that also have numbers on them? ie. 'q=1','w=2','e=3', etc (on OZONE). Its acting like i have num lock on and its not actually typing in the letter, instead it works like a keypad on a dumbphone so i have to tap W/2 twice for a B.. this happens for all the number keys which makes this browser unusable!
please help!
hi all is it possible to run both the default opera and the newest opera together on same device, maybe install one to the storage card would it work
I'm using the beta Opera 10 from SD card and it works fine (very impressive). I did not delete the original version. It's handling of drop-down selection lists is particularly user-friendly. But only the original version will change to landscape mode when you tip the HD2 sideways.

there's an updated version that supports rotation. but still no pinch to zoom
I'll try it. Meanwhile, I like to 'tap screen to zoom' that Opera 10 does more than the pinch. It works like the closeup function on the HD2 camera.
just add the window class to the reg or use bsb tweaks to enable landscape.
beta 2 does seem as happy run of sd as it does in main memory. just remember to set the caches to storage card.
both apps are installed in different folders so they don't conflict.
I installed the beta 2 of opera 10 and i still have the orginal (Installed Opera 10 to phone) gonna delete the original, well at least for now.
OK ALL THANKYOU
so i can install to storage and the default opera will be untouched, great news ill try the latest beta then,
where do i get the latest beta as their no many which is newest
Try: http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/
When installing opera 10 is it possible for the web tab of sense 2.5 to open quick link favourites in this instead of the pre-installed opera version? Is it just a case of setting it as default? If this is the case would any browser work ie skyfire?
can you enable flash in the beta?
hi
do you know how to set as the default browser?
I didn't do it when instaling
try uninstall and installing again.
beta2 works great. improvement in almost/all every aspect
Runs much faster and overall great improvement. Now all that is missing is multitouch zoom and flash support and we are 99% satisfied!
In fact, you can install both in SD or device memory. They application has a different name. One is Opera and the other is Opera 10.
hi ,

The new version, 10 Beta 2u also auto-rotates to landscape mode.
What are the improvements over Opera 9 and are there any negatives?
- The negative point for Opera 9 in my opinion is that most of the time it wants to open the web page in 'mobile' version by default. This only reasons is so boring that it made me prefere Opera 10.
- With Opera 10 you will lose the Pinch & zoom.
Wow this new beta 2 is great! This version Does rotate without having to use tweaks. Browsing is wonderful!!
reset default browser to 9.7
for those that want the 9.7 as default browser try this
in opera 9 type
opera:
in the address bar. Then hit preferences and do a search for "first". A list should appear with something like first launch. tick this box, then hit save. exit opera. Open opera 9. it should now be default browser.
