Dear All
It appears that there is an incompatability between the new JasJar firmware and the latest release of Opera.
The address bar is using the incorrect font and it appears as Wingdings!
The button text is also the same.
Can anyone else confirm this please?
Regards
JB
This has been discussed in the Opera beta tester forums..
You'll find it at the download page of Opera..
I tried the solution with Tweaks 2k2, but it did not work.
I changed the system font to Courier and the font displayed properly in Opera, but when I changed back to Tahoma, and Opera started displaying Wingdings again.
Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong?
I am running the newest ROM on my JasJar (released a few days ago) and the beta 2 version of Opera is running from the storage card.
Previously I was running the hacked Treo verson of Opera which also was displaying wingdings with the new ROM.
If you had searched, you should have found this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43624
Actually I searched "Opera Wingdings" and found this thread. I would suggest that similar threads be merged. :shock:
Both of the first 2 solutions work if I want to use Courier New, but they do not work for me when I change back to Tahoma.
However, copying Verdana.ttf from my desktop to the \Windows folder on the JasJar, and then a software-initiated soft reset solved the problem.
Thanks for linking me to the thread.

Hi there,
after flashing my Universal with the latest i-mate ROM (thanks to the forum for all the information that I found here) my beloved Opera browser is unusable since it seems to have replaced the default font with Windows Dingbats
Pretty hard to read
Does anyone know where the relevant entries regarding the used font are hidden?
Thanks for all input,
Manuel
u can read up my post on how to solve this problem
Thanks for the quick help, but it doesnt work for me... I copied a Arial.ttf to windows folder (tried both on Storage card a root)...still the ugly symbols...
For future desperados, here the link to vapors thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46825&highlight=opera
Edit: Funny, for me it works, when I copy arial.ttf to the fonts folder
hmmm i guess it depends on ur device then though it didnt work for me when i tranfered to fonts folder. well glad it helped u one way or the other

Your fix resolved my problem with the font. I copied the Ariel font to the \windows folder; I launched Opera and saw no change. I reset my device and re-launched Opera and it worked. Thanks!
My Opera install says it will expire on May 1st. Do you have a fix for that to extend the time period? I really don't like uninstalling/reinstalling apps on my Pocket PC.

My bad, you are right it is June 1st. Is there any way I can extend that time without having to install a new version?

apparently, there is no new version available .... possibly on June 1st Opera is either to launch new beta or fully-fledged and commercial product
Hi, has anyone had a problem with the opera/web and walk browser, coming up with a unsigned application error, on the tmobile rom, if so or if not can you send me the rom version you are using!! muchos appreciatos
Opera problem
Yes I have. Did you do a hard reset? I have seen this three times now after hard resetting my device. What I discovered was that half of the applications form the extended_rom were not installed including Opera. The shortcut is! This one is probably part of te rom.
To solve this install gsfinder or another explorer and go to \extended_rom\
Now open install all the cab files. Your problem is solved afterwards.

why not upgrade to the new (beta) version of opera.
http://get.opera.com/pub/opera/winmobile/865b/

my ameo has 8.65 (2211)- i just downloaded the beta with out checking first.
derrrrrrrr
i have a weird fault with opera on my ameo... it will launch fine the first time i load it. but then if i close and try and launch it again later i get the four colours spinning egg timer thin forever, only way to get it running again is soft reset..... anyone else got this
looked in running progs and killed everything there too..
possibily due to spb plus? or anyone got both running together fine
I also have a problem After two hard resets today, my opera vanishes from my device all together!
I'm not sure if it is the only missing software but is the only one i've noticed.
Any idea there I can get the cab to install it?
Imaginarynumber, you found only the beta? is it possible to get out of the provided cd?

Hi,
Couldn't find the answer with search...
Just installed then latest version (beta) of Opera and it's quicker.
How can I make this default browser when using the TF3D tab and TF3D favorites.
(I have clicked the 'use as default button' within the Opera menu, but it doesn't work?
Any ideas?
Thanks
I am looking for this solution as well, I think we have to play with registry, but I don't know how.
Any advice from anyone ??
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\EFBROWSER\
Value 0="Opera"
Value 1="xxxxx"
xxxxx = Location of opera.exe
It should do the trick!
Im running what I guess is latest opera 2128 and its at least 3 times faster than 1938 which came in my ROM.
The rotation function works flawlessly 98% of the time.
That annoying bug that brought up the phone display is gone.
Well what I did was uninstall the Opera that came with ROM using normal procedure then I just installed the New Opera and soft reset and it linked to the TF3D launcher automatically.
I didn't touch the registry at all.
I don't remember if when prompted to install on Internal or Device what did I choose. I believe I choosed Internal Storage.
I provide you with the .cab I used. LINK.
Greetings to all.

Woow I don't know on my ROM it appears on the uninstall list.
Maybe try installing and you will get the overwrite option.
This is my probelm also
THere are no opera on the remove program list...
And I already install the 9.5 opera (beta) from www.opera.com
If someone solve the problem, please share with us, HOW?? thanks

Installing the CAB file for Opera v9.5 2128 will first REMOVE three old files: Opera 9/OperaL/OperaPreL and then install the new files under the same names Opera 9/OperaL/OperaPreL. No need to update the registry because the same file name (OperaL) is used in HKLM.
Jus to be recoverable, I renamed the original Opera 9/OperaL/OperaPreL (1938) to Opera 9 (o)/OperaL(o)/OperaPreL(o) and save them in the Internal Storage.
Opera was NOT listed in the original All Settings->Remove Programs. The CAB file for v9.5/2128 deployed and updated Opera to v9.5, but it doesn't generate Opera in the list of Remove Programs either.
The beta version is indeed sensibly faster, but some white frames/text boxes are present during screen transitions, which will need to be removed in the final version. I am keeping Opera v9.5 in presence of such minor flaws because it is more responsive and faster.

Sorry Marios96, I have tried this registry trick after installing Opera (beta from there website) to the "Internal Storage" , but whenever I am clicking on the Browser icon in the Internet tab, it is keep opening the old one (as I have just installed the new version because there wasn't any option to uninstall the old one).
I have even soft-reset the PPC as well but no joy.
Any other trick ???

When you click on/install the CAB file that was copied over to your Internal storage, you were asked whether you agree to remove the old version of Opera. The old versions (again, for three files listed above) of Opera will be removed after you answered "yes" and the new versions under the same file names will be copied over. Because the file names are the same, the registry values are kept unchanged. Are you sure you are still using the old version after installing the new version? What did Opera say in Help->About Opera? I am seeing Version: 9.5; Build: 2128... And I did feel the speed
I have tried to install the Beta from Opera website, during the installation it DID NOT ask to remove the previous version, just simply installed on the Internal Storage.
But once I have tried to installed the "Sergio PC - Post 4" attached Cabit DID asked me to remove the previous version, and I said yes, but at the end of the installation it said "Installation Unsuccessfull".
Help required in this issue, as 9.5 is really faster than the pre-installed one.

Sid

Well, it did ask me if I want to remove the old version but failed to do so (1.93.x.x US ROM)
Any ideas?
What if you guys try installing to device?:

Hmmmm.. So the remaining option I have got left is to install the Beta version from the Opera website to the Internal Storage and keep it as an Icon under programs. But sadly my Internet Tab is useless after that.
Thanks for your help

What about if I will take the 3 files backup, and then overwrite the new version EXE's into the windows folder, obviously with the same name ????
What do think guys ??

Hello,
My WWE 1.39.405.2 ROM contains Opera 9.5 Build 16277. The browser works fine, yet it has issues with Flash (as discussed in other threads in this forum). I have discovered that my device actually DOES support Flash, since when I use IE it displays Flash pages correctly. The current version of Opera simply can't go along with it...
By doing some research, I read that the new Opera 9.7 does support Flash. I installed the new version, and found that out indeed it does support it. However, the problem is not only that the previous version of Opera is still in the device (since it is stored in the ROM), but also that it is the default browser. In other words, when e.g. I use the internet tab in Manila, the version 9.5 fires up.
Is there a way to have the 9.7 version installed and make it the default browser? I know that I can't get rid of the old 9.5 version (unless I change my ROM, of course), but I could compromise by having it dormant in my device, and having version 9.7 being the active browser in all instances.
*Bump*
Is there any way to make this happen? Be it to make the new opera the default browser or any other, so I don't have to go to the programs and open it from there.

I would also like to know if this is possible!
Anybody have an answer?
It has been solved! Flash CAN be made to work with the current version of Opera! Check here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542165
tf3d launches opera9.exe as default browser. I tried to change it through the registry but without avail. You have to place new opera9-ml.exe to windows directory, rename it to opera9.exe and overwrite original file. Attributes for that file are " read only " , " system " and " in ROM " and in my topaz it is not possible because of that. Perhaps somebody will discover solution

Yep, that worked for me (9.5 1938)
I would still like to know if it's possible to make 9.7beta my default browser though.
partial solution
I've changed a little original opera9.7b1 cab and it works as default browser in tf3d now.
But can't solve two things:
1- opera starts after soft reset or turning on with error message but then works properly
2- zoom bar works as scroll bar in new opera
if someone want to try it
install cab from link below
edit : don't change registry value my zoom bar doesn't work now in stock opera
make soft reset
after uninstallation you will have old opera, here is new opera
...and in other fullscreen apps which support the g-sensor (resco contacts/photo viewer for example) when I tilt my HD.
Any known solution to this? :/

Have you updated to a newer genuine ROM?
I know this is an issue in the official Orange ROM upgrade.
as far as I know I have the latest official greek rom
I had installed gyrator2 and was afrait it might have caused this, however the problem persisted after uninstallation, even after a hard reset!
Well after searching a bit more I found the solution!
a) download this file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3920829&postcount=522
b) IMPORTANT! Create a backup of the original LargeTitlebar.dll on your /windows folder
c) Replace with downloaded file
d) Soft reset
If manilla 3d is not opening after the first soft reset, deselect it from settings -> today and then select it again and soft reset
voila, not it works perfectly
Glad you got this sorted. Thread closed
