Hi
I've experienced lots of problems with the Wizard's midlet manager, especially when trying to use Opera Mini.
It sees I've got a working connection, but when loading any web page I get an error message - critical error kind of thing.
I hard reset my Vario several times hoping it would solve the problem... in vain.
has any update to the Midlet Manager been released? And where to get it from? I checked the TAO site, but no downloads are available from their site (they seem to ship direct to HTC and the likes).
Alternatively, what is the work around? I want to use the Midlet for Google maps and other midlets. Thanks
Download the attached zip file but DO NOT unzip it. Overwrite the one in \Windows on your PDA. Once your done, start up Midlet Manager then Menu -> About and confirm the following version numbers...
Runtime MIDP 2.0: v10.1.7.551 (Build 20060317)
That's the version I'm running and it works just fine with Google Local Maps and Opera Mini.
If after performing the above you still can't get Opera Mini working properly then I'd suggest uninstalling Opera Mini (tap and hold the icon and select uninstall) and then visit http://mini.opera.com in Pocket Internet Explorer and download Opera Mini again. If that page says something about recognising your device as an iPaq of some kind then just ignore it.
You may just want to scrap tao's manager and go for IBM's http://www.winmobiletech.com/sekalaiset/IBMJ9MIDP.zip
I haven't used it, but some people like it. It displays satelite images in google local too.

Keitaro: Where did you get that update from?
Thanks

Thanks again

The zip file came straight from a fresh install of a 2.24 ROM
I've now tried the first solution (the update to Tao's MIDLET) and the midlet manager freezes then crashes as a result!
No good...
Any idea why it does that, and any other work around to the problem?
Cheers
Ok perform this step as well, download this file...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=12426
...and overwrite the ones found in...
\Application Data\Tao\intent
and
\Windows
I've just done that, but in vain. the Midlet Manager still freezed then crashes. I can't even uninstall my old version of Opera mini and / or install the new one. The Midlet Manager crashes before I can do anything...
Any suggestion?
Maybe I should go back to the original Manager?
Navigate to...
\Application Data\Tao\intent\app\jam\midlets
...and delete the operamini folder and see what happens then.
If Midlet Manager still locks up then by all means replace rofs_target.zip and target.img.zip back with the versions you had originally... assuming you did back them up first
Just out of interest, what ROM version are you running and what Midlet Manager version did you have prior to all this messing around?
Thanks Keitaro.
My ROM is T-Mobile's UK ROM 1.6.2.4 - I am waiting for T-Mobile to release the new ROM.
Maybe that's why the updated Midlet manager does not work.
I did not backup the target.img.zip file unfortunately.
Could anybody on the T-Mobile's 1.6.2.4 ROM upload their Windows/target.img.zip file here please?
I could then downgrade my Midlet Manager.
thanks
You can always install the IBM Manager.
It's not as pretty, but it works.

gamescan - just done it, and it works great.
Thanks
opera mini
i screw up my midlet by deleting the target.img. i want to have a fresh installation of opera mini. How will i uninstall the previous mini in my xda?
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 also v8.65 and no beta.
sorry
my stoooopid
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
Cheers
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.

Thanks for the advice, atleast someone has taken initiative to help.
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 ???

Sid

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

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
I recently installed Opera 9.7 build 35432 from the leo rom, I was unaware installing this cab would overwrite my stock opera settings ITS NOT EVEN IN THE PROGRAM LIST ANYMORE! When I had previously installed the opera 9.7 beta 1 there would be two opera browsers in my programs menu
This was not the case this time, Installing Opera 9.7 overwrote the stock where there is only one Opera browser in the programs menu
With that said does anyone know where in windows I can find the stock opera? Whats the filename??? I would download the stock from the opera mobile all versions thread but that would take up some memory so I wanna find it in the windows folder if there
