Obviously beta, very good ui!

The feel of the program is very good. Cant wait until the release of 9.5.

a bit slow but feels great and the ui rocks too! with double tap on the screen you can zoom in or out!

love it - v9.5 should be good. I don't think it is slow
but this version seems to be for vga screens - all of the controls are huge. or is that just me?

how do you uninstall? ):

The icons are big for me too.
Also can't see it in 'Remove Programs' - oh dear!

The icons do appear to be in vga but if you press and hold on a webpage you can select to switch to landscape and all the buttons are visible - settings, transfers etc. I find it very useable even with the big icons as it automatically returns to fullscreen thereby hiding all icons.

its rubish if u ask me there is no uninstall and im now having to re flash my hermes to stop opera from opening every .cab i put on my phone!
i can understand it a beta but ive never had this problem with other opera software...

can anyone figure out a way to uninstall this. i don't want to hard rest my htc touch

Delete the programm folder, shortcuts and registry data
8 MB for installation needed^^. I'm trying storage card...

I told it to install to the storage card, but it looks like it's installed it in program memory anyway

yep same here...
after testing it for about 10 minutes i can say:
1. UI is well made, tabbed browsing is great
2. it's not as responsive and fast as opera mini which is kind of sad
3. as described it seems to be vor vga only, so it looks kinda odd...
4. did you try logging in into some site? it will allways put a blank in between two letters. i can't log in into anything with this browser
still, better than netfront. then again, i think i'll stick to opera mini 4

Plus it's taken over as the default browser

opera beta
Seems to run very slow! UI is very bad. This looks like it has a long way to go

opera
where did you find this beta?

qvga skin
overwrite the original with the attached skinfile in \Application Data\Opera9\skin
... there are surely some glitches, since i just shrunk the files in 50% of their size with irfanview

Slow scrolling in Windows Mobile... 2D acceleration ?

Before the Polaris I had a XDA Neo, which ran only at 195Mhz. However it seemed that the Neo was able to scroll the symbols within Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer smoother than the Polaris does. How can this be as the Polaris is clocked at an even higher speed and has a more powerful hardware in all aspects than the XDA Neo ? Screen refresh while scrolling is often very jerky on the Polaris within the Windows controls, it even slows down while tabbing on the screen sometimes so badly !
Is there any driver that would accelerate the response within the Windows controls ? Why do all people ask for a 3d driver if there is hardly any application available that could utilize it ? I think the 2d performance is also way behind. Is it the Windows Mobile GDI driver what is missing or is it available but in a very generic version ?

are you using the original rom? because the cooked roms here on xda are a lot faster than what htc gave us. maybe you can try one of them. Be sure to read how to hardspl etc, because it is not without risk!

Re
Using the latest SWTOS. After Bepe 0.67 it seems to be a fastest and most stable option available.

I know, my 4 year old pda can scroll smoother. On my polaris all windows stuff is slow, scrolling, tabbing, opening windows. Doens't matter what rom. Only the Manilla 2D part is smooth...
I don't see the use of the 3D drivers either when the 2D isn't even good. I think Windows is just badly implemented on the Polaris.

Use this attachment...

Be aware that "Use this attachment..." means loosing zoom/overview functionality in Pocket Internet Explorer...

what's the point, IE is a POS browser anyway. Opera mobile is the way to go. my 0.02.

^
totally agree
just leave IE far behind and use a better browser like opera
anyway, why opera 9.5 is limited only 3 tabs opened at the same time?
can it be fixed or it's just the way it is?

The problem is not just IE.
For example;
When I go to All Programs and start scrolling it seems very slow as if every icon is refreshing 10 times... The same when I click the task manager in the upper right corner, the whole startbar flickers like it is refreshing.

I totally second this.
It's a shame that we have to stick with a problem like this.

Yeah I got that too. And I totally agree. My sister own a HTC P4350 and she is not having problem with icon refreshing.
IMO, if there is some 2D drivers able to fix that, i'd prefer to have them rather than 3d drivers ^^ (Even if both will be great)

Ok look that :

The video was not on a polaris but it's exactly what I have.
Seems to be a GDI driver problem or something.

I have the same problem with my HTC Cruise.

That's exactly the problem yes, I think it's another bad implementation issue from htc.

I don't have this issue on the stock WM6.0 ROM. The icons scroll pretty fast in Programs. I think I did some reg tweak on the TouchFLO scroll speed to get it like that but it was a long time ago so don't remember details.

Also forgot to say, that scrolling issue is different than the IE scrolling issue. That fix that's attached to this thread (if I think is the same one) does fix scrolling within IE to make it faster but don't think that will fix your scrolling in Programs folder.
I stand by my earlier point, use a different browser, IE is not all that.

Yes i'm already using opera, I didn't even know IE was slow, never used it

I can also confirm the problem with 2D on my 6.0 stock rom. It is too bad because the device should be preaty fast. And this polaris problem isn't only at scroling, it's about everything we do on the screen: press stard button, open a window, closing a window... everything has a lag.

As far as I remember, i got this problem with all the roms I tried :
- sfr 6.0 base rom
- syrius r0
- sfr 6.1 rom
Also, this problems don't seems to be on every polaris. Guess we will never have a way to fix it...

Why install Opera Mini when you can Get full Opera Mobile 9.5?
http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/

When the coverable is only 2G (GRPS) opera mini becomes the best way. A page with 200 KB reachs the pda with 30-40KB so surfing is possible...

no problems here! installed mini 4.1!
i perfer mini 4.1, it loads pages so fast!

I am running Opera Mini without problems. How have you installed it? I always open www.operamini.com in PIE and install it that way and have never had any problems with installing it

It was configured to use "My Work Network" instead of "My Isp". Now works. Thanks !!
Dani

mini works really well at this resolution, but for gprs webbrowsing (especially forums) netfront on it's simple browsing mode is hard to beat, certainly for speed.
on a java topic, has anyone got java google mail 2 beta to install, I get java lang errors when I try to start it

Downloaded opera mini, but it seems to be a bit dodgy when opening the keyboard to go landscape. Sometimes the thing just goes to a white screen and I have to hit the end button to get back to Windows...

i have downloaded the mini opera from my phone. once i close it.. i can't find is it located at.
can someone help?

are you guys talking about the new opera mini panel? or the regular?
cause if you didnt know, there is a panel available at Sonyericsson.com
cheers

That's not a "Panel" on the SE website but "Software", which is the same thing as people have been talking about.

Try to update to Opera Mini 4.2 and to the version with multiple certificates. It will only ask you once for internet connection and save you the time. It works perfectly in landscape too

On a wifi connection is opera mini better than opera mobile? My opera mobile crashes quite often when i zoom in b4 the page finishes loading

Opera Mini with WiFi is the fastest way to browse the internet The second one is Netfront 3.5 concept version, which is a lot faster than opera mobile and renders AJAX pages very nicely (not in design but for fast use).

where is it located after installed to the phone? I can't find it.
thank you.

It is in Programs / Java / Applications or direct in Programs / Opera Mini with an "e" icon.

i know this is kind of off topic. does anyone know how to get rid of the "SMS/MMS message send" notification? it pop up everytime when the sms sent out and the pop up is unable to dismiss manually.. i have to wait like 6 sec to be able to type the next sms.
thank you

Which phone model do i put when choosing download? X1 is not on the list

Best webbrowser for wvga (landscape mode)

Hi guys!
Im looking for a webbrowser that works with my Touch HD in landscape mode. Googled a bit and actually didnt find that many answers...
Thankful for any help I can get.

I would like to join you in your question.
Opera crashes if I turn HD to landscape (not really closes, but screen jumps to Home)
Anyone knows y?

Something you've installed or changed, I guess. Works fine in landscape for me.

If you installed the color top bar, than that is your problem most likely. Install a different top bar.

Thank you!!
Do you have a Colored Toolsbar that works properly and dont impacts other programs?

It may be bull****, but it's the best WM browser available. The WM standard Internet Explorer is available in Programs, you can also try Opera Mini or Skyfire.

[Q] Opera

Currently, I'm running Itje's Touch-IT v7 ROM. The built-in Opera doesn't support the HW keyboard, but it does support push internet.
My problem is that it doesn't do what I want it to! Who can help me find an opera that does what I want it to? I'd like to see at least a version number and link when you suggest something.
What I'm looking for:
1) Most important of all: HW Keyboard support.
2) Would love to see the vertical slider on the right side of the screen to control zooming.
3) Support for the TF3D Internet tab bookmarks.
4) The latest version supporting above features (less bugs!).
5) No need for push internet. (what is push internet anyway!?)
Above list is in order of importance. If anyone can point me to one with the first two features, I'd be thrilled already. ^_^
If many people will post links, I'll be making this post a comprehensive list of opera versions and features for the X1.
Opera 16194 - X1 - Link
Speed: Scrolling is very smooth, overall pretty responsive.
Zooming: No on-screen zoom, but volume button zoom works fine.
Input: HW keyboard works fine, as well as SIP.
TF3D Compatibility: Bookmarks will be visible when the opera6.adr file is put in windows\Opera9. You'll have to manually select them as push pages to show up in TF3D.
Thanks in advance!

Nope, not yet! Thanks for the link, I'll try it out and post the features =]

Alrighty, the newest X1 Opera is pretty good. Does anyone know of one with the on-screen zoom slider? It used to be in Itje's Touch-IT 4.5 rom iirc.

i saw that one in default HTC opera... but hw keyboard wasnt working on those

Maybe you guys can help me out. Im running the default opera browser but recently have been receiving a message "the requested page can not be displayed" Any ideas as to what the problem is. It onlt occurs with some websites and just recently began to cause this problem.

You people can try the version found in the Jack's ROM topic. See in UC package template.

didnt see this version with working hw keyboard for xperia

has there been any update on this ?
is there a current version that supports all of the features metioned on the first page ?
i'm currently using build 2532 and i can't use a few sites and it crashes randomly whereas the version that came with the stock rom was just fine. :-(

I tried to install build 16194 posted in the link, but it failed and said the device was not "authorized". Does anyone know what could be the problem?

maybe u need sdk certs dunno just guess

Thanks. I resolved the problem. Did a hard reset and restored using Sprite backup, then installed Build 16194. Now the hardware keyboard works fine.
