Opera 2808 and Flash Running

########## UPDATE 29 NOV 2008 ##########
I update forum for put more detail.... (Special Thanks to DIB2000 & Dutty & VeyKa and ALL XDA-Developer and Thanks to kdskamal http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=1507 for your post !)
For View Flash on Windows mobile Device, have need to:
0) Opera and Flash is need to install in same Memory, i suggest to install in INTERNAL MEMORY !!
1) Check if OPERA don't runnig using TaskManager (if running Kill it) with this program (Thanks Dutty)
http://www.4shared.com/file/73670418/1e67bf53/Task_Regedit.html
2) Opera Browser (i preferred 2808) in VGA o WVGA (depend to DEVICE TYPE)
If you don't have install, use that links:
If you have VGA DEVICE install
http://www.4shared.com/file/73664152/2e17ef45/WM6_PPC_HTC_Opera9_WWE_2745.html
then install upgrade... read end document.
If you have QVGA DEVICE install
http://www.4shared.com/file/73664351/b49a6a91/Opera9_WWE_2808_qvga.html
If you have old version on this Link you can Update to 2808 Version
http://www.4shared.com/file/73564410/242afb28/Opera_2808_update.html
3) Flash Cab
there is a beautiful Thread to explain and install (view link) (For my opinion install My_Flash.cab)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423860
4) Flash DLL Plugin to put on "\windows\opera9\plugins" to enable Opera to use Flash Installed (Skip this step, if you use Opera_2808_update on step 2)
(this version is OLD version 8.1.56.1 07/07/2008... is there a new version ? PLEASE POST)
http://www.4shared.com/file/73667918/b6083d09/NPFL3ppc.html
5) Null Keyboard (if you don't view keypoard when click on flash site) (nullkb.ARM4.CAB)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423860
Is need to reboot device !
if all ok... you can view youtube site !!!
If you have alredy install OPERA and My_Flash (Cooked ROM aka DIB Rom o Dutty Rom) you have only to update Opera.
On strange Cooked Rom is possibile to have problem to Update Opera File, for use Opera_2808_update (http://www.4shared.com/file/73564410/242afb28/Opera_2808_update.html) i suggest to:
1) Install TotalCommander (http://www.ghisler.com/ce.htm)
2) Unpack Opera_2808_update on Documents Directory
3) Using TotalCommander Copy or Move content of Opera_2808_update directory on \windows folder. In this mode you put 3 files:
\windows\Opera9.exe
\windows\OperaL.exe
\windows\Opera9\plugins\NPFL3ppc.dll
if all ok... you can view youtube site !!!

Thank cityhunter71, I'll give it a try and let you know how I get on, just one silly question though, should the folder be "PLUGINS" or "Plugins"? http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1119089

in my dib 1.21 is plugins (all lowercase

Here is review of youtube (and flash) working in Opera Mobile on a HTC Diamond with installation instructions
http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=1507

So I tied it out and I didn't get too far, I thought I'd just try the obvious first so I went straight to youtube, my keyboard just kept popping up and it felt slow. None of the videos I tried worked either, but I'm not so sure I installed the right flash .cab. If anyone can provide a link to the preferred flash installation I'll give it another go. I guess I can live without it though, the youtube app on my diamond is fine as it is. I would like really to watch bbc iplayer, but I don't suppose this would allow that even if it worked 100%

iplayer works on Skyfire and works quite well, the browser itself needs a little work yet though in my opinion.

Go to link I mentioned in my previous post

edit: solved

1. What else beside the flash comes with 2808 ?
I tried once newer Opera, but beside the new build number it was realy sux, It took long time to open the Opera itself (5 -10 seconds) instead 3 second with the orginal Opera comes with the Diamond (1522) , and the orginal Opera open flash as well (it open streaming player and play it..)
2. The links above didn't say if it's VGA version...

this trick works for me in a touch pro. (cooked into the Raphael 1.051 unprotected rom)
2808 is VGA and opens quickly 3 seconds + or -.
I visit Youtube & i can watch youtube videos, jerky but can watch them. maybe 5fps.
Normal flash sites, with no videos only flash animations play better in my touch pro.

Where Flash Cab ....
Sorry uniqueboy my frist post is incomplete...
You need to install first cab for using Flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423860 (My_Flash)

Not working yet
So here's what I've done on my Sprint Touch WM v6.1
Installed Opera 2808 on SD card.
Killed Opera9 process.
Installed My_flash to SD card.
Copied NPFL3ppc.dll to /Windows/Opera9/plugins directory.
Soft reset.
Opened Opera and went to YouTube.
No videos would display.
Sooooo....is there a step I missed? Seems to me like I got everything, but since other people are getting this to work I'm assuming I missed something.
AJ

Opera is alredy present on INTERNAL STORE... don't install Opera and My_flash on external memory !

Opera is not installed on internal storage (not anymore at least, though I don't remember uninstalling it).
The instructions seemed to indicate that I could install Opera9 and My_Flash to the storage card and it would work. Is that not true?
AJ

mmm, I read that it is better to install and operate in the same flash memory.
I've always seen opera and flash in \windows
I propose to do so

Yes I have an Opera9 directory in /windows and that's where I put the NPFL3ppc.dll file (plugins) but that is not where Opera launches from (the OperaWM.exe and OperaL.exe are not located there -they are on the storage card).

OperaWM.exe and OperaL.exe are located in windows directory!!!!

Have you possible to remove opera on SD card (unistall) and reinstall on \ ?
You can also:
1) Search where is presente Opera9 directory (with inside directory styles, locale, etc.) and put plugin\NPFL3ppc.dll
2) Search where is present Opera9.exe and OperaL.exe and update with my zip
3) Install My_Flash where is OPERA (if in SD, install on SD)
Reboot... and Pray !!
If don't run i suggest to HardReset Mobile to restore original installation and retry install.
Good luck

Simple way to make opera bookmark appear in internet tab

Hi everyone ,
i found a easy way to make opera bookmarks appear in touchflo 3d internet tab.
-copy \application data\opera9 into \windows\
-open opera and type about:config in the adress bar
-in the quick find type : opera directory
-change the path to \Windows\Opera9\
-click save
-click ok when the pop up appears.
-close opera
enjoy your bookmarks in the internet tab.

forgot to say that it must work with every build of opera and that bookmarks will be updated automatically

Great find, its working for me on TF3DHD Beta 2 with the stock X1 opera. Now i dont need to install the horrible, buggy Touch HD opera build.

woot nice!
u became my personal hero today

Very nice!
At first I thought it wasn't working, but after a soft reset they showed up. Might wanna add that step to the tutorial.

my phone is now perfect thanks !!!!

it shouldn't need a soft reset, just restart tf3d (settings>today untick OK ,then retick) or use the rearrange tabs in tf3d settings tab.

gReat! it work!! no need soft reset, just copy paste in \windows\ and woaalaah.. its appear in internet tab
Many Thanks
Cheers

the tips and tricks thread needs to be updated.

this part is mandatory if you want the bookmarks to update in touchflo 3D

Yeah, I'm using itje's wwe 3.01 touch-it rom. dunno why I had to reset then, I tried saving the new directory path twice and nothing showed up, but it did after a reset so I don't know.
Either way its working fine, so no worries.

did the bookmarks refresh corectly intouchflo 3d on itje rom ?

The opera folder is over 18mb, so after pasting into windows I deleted the original folder and now opera won't load...doh!

just copy the windows/opera9 in application data and opera will launch again.

argh!!
This isn't quite working for me - nearly though.
I do the above and I get the FIRST bookmark folder appear "Games" and thats it. I then go into opera and delete all the folders and leave the three boomarks i've added in the list, bbc, the reg and youtube. I exit the bookmark editing in Opera and the three appear perfectly on the Internet tab.
I then go back into Opera and it recreates all these crap default folders i don't want and in the process screwing back up my internet tab.
Any ideas?

More clues.
I have figured out that when I tried to add a new bookmark of my own, when I click on the star in opera it re-creates automaticaly all the old folders. I then have to delete them again and the tab is back to normal - talk about pain in the a*&e.

which rom are you using ? wich version of opera do you have.
Did you change the config path in opera configuration page ?
seems that opera is still using the original file and not the copyed one

Hi Ty
its on my Omnia so not sure how helpfull the Rom version would be.
Opera version is 9.5, build 15529 and yes, I changed the config line.

i suppose you are using touchflo2D on a custom dxkj2 or similar ? which version of touchflo 2d are you using ?

How to back up opera 10 settings/bookmarks

This was easy with opera 9 but with opera 10 I do not know how to save the settings/bookmarks so I can restore them after flashing.
I am using Valkyrie v5.4.23517 FireStormLEO.
Anyone know how to back up opera 10?

Anyone know anything about this? have search but cant find anything for opera 10.
is it just a case of backing up all the opera file in the windows directory?

what ive been doing my last couple flashes is i just active sync my phone
explore
windows mobile device or whatever
program files
i drag the entire opers 10 folder out, flash, install opera 10 then activesync and go back to the program files folder and copy and replace the opera 10 folder from your desktop.
its a lil bland but since you gotta sync to flash anyway your not really going outta your way.
passwords and all that are still working but this is the only method ive found

Prior to using Valkirie 5.5Leo I used to copy two folders from ProgramFiles>>>Opera10>>>Profiles>>>datastorage and secure these two folders contains 9 favorites and password etc. but now since Opera10 is cooked into the rom there is no opera10 folder in the progfiles...it will be either in windows files there I already looked but could not find another place is the rgistry which I have to still check.

There is no opera 10 folder in program files.
There are opera files in the windows directory but opening it under active sync takes ages. I can be waiting several mins for the folder to show (windows 7 64). I can open it with total comander quickly and this is what I used to do to back up the opera6.adr file to the memory card for opera 9.
I did look through the above thread but couldn't find an answer. Perhaps I will post there if backing up the files in the windows folder doesn't work.
edit: there is a folder called profile in the windows directory that is full of opera files. i will see if backing up this works.

Don't you just use the inbuilt Opera Sync thing?

What I do is create an Opera Link account. Then you can sync your links on your start page each time you flash. This will save your links on the web and each time you flash and then sign in to the Opera Link they will pull down and display in your start page of Opera 10.
I had to D/L Opera to me desktop to create the link account but then you can delete the PC version and only run the mobile version.

thanx for sharing this info . Now I got a link account too. Let's run a firmware upgrade now and see if it really works

I too am curious about it working. It keeps the links, but what about passwords and other settings?

No, it doesn't keep those. Opera link only saves your Bookmarks and the Start Page links. You'll have to reenter your settings and passwords everytime you freshly install opera.

sure?

Can Opera10 be set as the default TF3D Tab Browser?

Hello All,
I've tried searching numerous places and have not been able to find a definitive answer as to if the newest version of Opera10 can be set at the TF3D tab default browser. I found a thread that suggested copying the opera10 files to the WINDOWS folder and renaming an oper file in the manilla folder, but that didn't work for me... or I didn't follow the instructions correctly.
I guess I should start by asking, can it be done? And if so, is there anyone out there that could possibley explain how to do it, or better yet .cab it up, so that a person such as myself doesn't mess anything up.
Thank you in advance for any responses or help with this. This forum/community is absolutely great!
Thanks,
DeMo

yes some version out that have been adapted to make it default or there is a reg hack to make it so ill try to find it

right i think this is it but to be honset not 100% so if some one can confirm
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER
"0"=Opera Browser
"1"="\Program Files\Opera Mobile 10\Opera10-armv4i.exe"
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\Shell\Open\Command\Default
"\Program Files\Opera Mobile 10\Opera10-armv4i.exe" %1
edit this was to change it from IE in a rom i was using not sure if its the same if it has opera9 as the default already

Thanks guys! I appreciate the responses. I'll go check the Opera thread mentioned above and try posting there.
I am trying to get Opera 10 to launch from the TF3D Internet tab when you push "Launch Browser", instead of it launching Opera 9.x.
I've found information about editing an xml file, but that seems to be a solution for the T-Mobile TP2. I have a Sprint TP2 w/stock rom (I failed to mention that earlier).
Anyhow, thanks again. I will continue my search.

I just downloaded Opera 10 Beta from Opera's website last night and installed it on my Tilt2, stock AT&T ROM. During the installation, it asked me if I wanted to make it the default browser. I clicked yes. Now it is used when I click the TF3D browser button.

Yes, but if you cook it in, it doesn't set as default browser, unless you install the reg tweak...

Okay. I'm still a noob at most of this, cooking ROMs is way over my head.

I found that if you go into the settings in whichever browser you are in (I've done it with Skyfire as well) you can select it to be your default browser and it will open with the TF3D link. Hope this helps!

Opera_Mobile_10_WM_beta_3_2.cab Does not have a setting/option to set is as tha default.. i aswell im dying to get this working as i hate opera 9.7
and not that i want skyfire but i just tryed setting it as default browser and still opera 9.7 open when i click tha globe or the browser softkey on tha internet tab...
Me & tha wife would really like an easy solution for this aswell
Thanks
Well opera 10 gave me tha option to set it as tha default browser wen newly installed but it did not open via internet tab..
What i did was delete all tha opera crap from my windows folder, then took contents of tha out of tha "Opera Mobile 10" folder i had installed on internal storage/memory card Renamed tha .exe file to OperaL.exe and pasted it in my windows folder, it works fine.. but uses like 10MB more memory then the default opera...
Now if i could get a copy of the internet explorer exe that i could rename and paste, in place of opera 10 that may be better as opera10 takes alot of space (on tha diamond i can't aford it) and i cannt copy tha IE exe - my device says i cannot edit ROM files ?

[Q] Need help recovering Bookmarks in Opera Mini

I have lost the ability to open opera mini 5 with all my bookmarks saved - Out of the blue I get a error saying "The file opera mini 5wm armv4 cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found....."
I can still access all the files the program contains on the computer as well as on the phone itself. Its only when I click on the icon to start opera do I get this message. I am sure that the bookmarks are contained in one of those files so even if I had to copy it and past it into a new copy of the program. I just don't know where to find them and how to do it.
I have grown used to just copying the folder from my computer with Opera mini instead of reinstalling the cab each time I did a hard reset. I realized I could just copy and past the shortcut and opera mini would be back like always with all my bookmarks etc. I never bothered to use opera link to save my bookmarks.
I tried a hard reset, tried recopying the file from my computer, and even tried to load it on a different touch pro 2 that I have lying around. I still get the same message. I have seen some posts about not this particularly but generally about this errror message. The solutions seemed complicated involving editing certain codes and seemed a little beyond my reach (though if that is my only choice I will try) Has anyone had this issue and can anyone help me. I have bookmarks that go back a while and it would be a shame to have to start all over.
Thanks
Steve

I guess you installed it on memory card, and that's how you tried to run it on the other device... If you have modified Opera Mini executable (OperaMini5-WM-armv4.exe), as you obviously did, it won't be able to run anymore until you reinstall it. Go to m.opera.com, download and install.
Nothing too complicated, just uninstall original one and delete all it's files before installing it again.

I appreciate the attempt to help but thats not the problem it has to do with a certificate. I can reinstall off the cab but I wont have my bookmarks though I will give that a try.
