opera mobile as default Browser setting - Touch HD General

since purchasing my hd I have had the beauty constantly on the internet. I use it pretty much all the time. I do however have one problem, i an not sure hd it is something I have done but when I open an rss feed's link in the rss hubb I can never get the links to open in opera. instead I hatedtm copy and paste. I an sure there's a registry hack for this so could anyone help?

I'm also trying to do the same...
please help
at least let us know if it's possible!!

Open up your favourite registry editor (I use CeRegistryEditor), and check:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\EFBROWSER
It should be set to "\Windows\OperaL.exe". If this doesn't work, try searching for iexplore.exe.

ok i found it you have to change the key
hklr\http\shell\open
change to opera and reboot!
thanks dave

I tried this but still couldn't get it to work.
Has anyone any ideas please?

1) Open Opera Mobile
2) Type opera:config into the address, this gives you access to tons of preferences
3) Expand the install bullet
4) Check Browser First Time Launch and press Save
5) Exit Opera
6) Restart Opera
The first time you restart it will take a while, and may even close without showing you the browser, but now open a link from e-mail or other source and it should use Opera to open.

Awesome, thanks fella. IE opening all the time was annoying the hell out of me. Apart from flash support, Opera is a significantly superior browser.

Is this really the full path guys? Ican't even seem to see a " hklr" to start with ... what am I missing here?... could you please help and confirm?
Ok I found it now... in "hkcr" of course... well done for your tip then ....thanks!

lost opera as default...again!
Opera 9.7b browser messed up my config...
Right... I really hope that someone can help me out here.
This is an old boring problem I once had with Opera, but I had then found my answer. Only this time the remedy won't work: Basically, after trying out Opera 9.7b and then uninstalling it, the cooked Opera browser in Dutty's 3.6 won't function as my default browser anymore (when I click on links from Google Maps for example)...
So I used the usual solution:
1) Open Opera Mobile
2) Type opera:config into the address, this gives you access to tons of preferences
3) Expand the install bullet
4) Check Browser First Time Launch and press Save
5) Exit Opera
6) Restart Opera
But the config above doesn't seem to stay in the system, once Soft reset, I can see that it is unchecked again... Could somebody shine a light on my moment of darkness please?
Edit: all sorted thanks to registry edit above...

Opera 9.5 Build 1957 WWE & Fr

Hi there,
I've extracted this build from Omnia rom posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2623503
Cab updated
if you have "the specified module could not be found" at startup, re-download cab here, those now include ImmVibe.dll.
Install into main memory:
http://rapidshare.com/files/144273883/OBX-Opera_9.5.Build1957.WWE.cab.zip.html
Hardcoded intro Storage card:
http://rapidshare.com/files/144274089/OBX-Opera_9.5.Build1957.UC.SD.WWE.cab.zip.html
Hardcoded intro Carte de stockage (french language):
http://rapidshare.com/files/144274261/OBX-Opera_9.5.Build1957.UC.SD.FR.cab.zip.html
Enjoy ;o)
----------------- Install ---------------------------------------------------------------------
if you have previous opera, be sure to uninstall it, and delete every file and Reg as this build changed a lot compare to usual update, the default Opera9 folder is now expected to be in Application Data, where previous use to be in windows, the skin and other file changed also, and Opera seem to be very sensitive...it didn't worked for me at first try... so Clean your previous opera before install... ;o)
----------------- User Agent Modif -----------------------------------------------------------
Well this build have some default value coded to Samsung i900, but chance, we can override them via register:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\UA]
"UAMode"=dword:00000001 0: Mobile 1 : Desktop (control by the setting/advanced in opera)
"User Agent"="SAMSUNG-SGH-i900/1.0 Opera 9.5" ---> this is the user agent when identify as mobile
"UAD"="SAMSUNG-SGH-i900/1.0 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)" ---> this is the user agent when identify as DESKTOP
When set to identify as Desktop, if Opera don't find "UAD" key, it will send "SAMSUNG-SGH-i900/1.0 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)" as user agent so to change this, create the UAD key and set it to whatever string you want.
now, in OPERA, go to setting/advanced, and choice identify as desktop.
paste this into url (whitout http
javascript:alert(navigator.userAgent)
You should see the string value of the "UAD" key
here the .reg to identify as IE7 browser....
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\UA]
"UAD"="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0b; Windows NT 6.0)"
"User Agent"="HTC/1.0 Opera 9.5"
Thanks! Testing now....
not working for me, just flash over to new rom, so everything was clean, goes from the startup scrren it then goes to "the specified module could not be found"
Error message title is OperaL if that helps at all.
missing module...
It's seem like Opera use Vibetonz (vibration feedback)... can you try with ImmVibe.dll into you windows folder:
forgot to compress thee .dll
here ImmVibe.dll
it's linked to other vibe's dll, not sure we need them all, so try with ImmVibe.dll only

Loads now, and works on my touch! thanks. More opiton's in the settings menu, flash works, cool skin. Fast scrolling. Still playing with it. Are you going to update the cab's?
its working on my tytn too like the zooming option and seems to be faster...Well, my tytn is lagging less than it did with 1938 build...but the touch naviation seems to be less smooth..any words on that?
links dead?
thanks, it seems like this version has some more advance features and everything so this is a big thank you for me, i am testing flash on it now
Flash works with this build has well, works good, and no need for that nullkb, you are able to scroll just fine on youtube without anything poping up.

1. This browser still does nto recognize the HTC XT9 keyboard
2. I cannot stream videos...youtube doesnt work. when i click to watch a video the streaming media player opens on my touch but i get an error stating "failed to find network".

Thanks! I'll give it a try now
For your XT9 keyboard, i have no idear... i tried to keep the install as close as possible to the omnia setup. You may look at an older build which worked fine, check the opera.ini file, there is probably some key there you have to copy them into your current opera.ini file and file to the proper folder.
About streaming media player, it's not related to opera i think, i got same trouble, but it's a bug or something in streaming media player, if you use activesync to connect to the internet, it doesn't work, try when you are connected over wifi, it should be fine...
good luck
youtube isnt working..
no video shows up
the keyboard is not a big deal cause it will get ironed out in the future..as for using wifi lol i dont have that feature
youtube works perfect for me, and better then 1938 ever did.

[APP][REQ]UltimateSearch modification

Dunno if it is the right place to post it...anyhow I would let you to know this fabulous (maybe just my personal opinion) that allow you to enable on your today screen a complete search engine frontend:
http://www.gx-5.com/products/ultimatesearch/
It is called "Ultimate Search" and it's pretty cheap. I really love it because you can make a search on Google/yahouu/youtube/ecc...just by tapping one button on your today.
I've just one problem: it works only with IE, not with Opera.
I tried to open the .dll attached here with an hex editor to enable it to launch Opera instead of IE but unfortunally I'm not so able in theese things and so I failed.
Is there something who can help me?
Thanks a lot in advance.
PS: (to the mods) I posted here just the dll used by the program. No copyrights violated, no warez.
Come on guys...
there's really noone who could help me?
I'm sorry...never liked the "bump action" but I really need thi help...
So: ...BUMP...
use vjbrisk to map the iexplorer exe to the opera exe
Or maybe you can set Opera like default browser?
it wont open with any other Browser other than IE because its using the HTTPRequest and other commands provided by M$ in there SDK

[App] Opera 9.7 Beta Release

New opera is out 9.7 and is a MASSIVE upgrade
features better panning/zooming: Uses hardware acceleration = iPhone smooth on the diamond and A LOT less crashing
Opera turbo for fast page loads (Page gets compressed by server by upto 80% and then gets sent to phone.. IGN.com loads about as quick as on PC )
widgets and a lot more
Another improvement being it no longer has a delay of like 4-5 seconds when you click a link before it actually shows that you clicked something
Download link:
http://www.opera.com/mobile/
currently this cab will not replace Opera 9.5 and its bookmarks won't show up in TF3D so it must be launched from start menu/programs tab
If anyone can build a working OEM ready for cooking that works with TF3D's internet tab please PM me so i can give credit and update first post - Making it easier for cookers to include in their Roms
Unzip to windows and overwrite existing files. This will replace old Opera with 9.7 on internet tab. Be warned will delete old files so back up first If you want to undo this switch.
http://rapidshare.com/files/243198314/Opera9.7_InternetTab.zip.html[/URL][/URL]
does anyone know the registry value that controls were the bookmarks go?
or if it's listen in a .ini file, it should be edited to "Windows\opera9" to make bookmarks show up in manila
can someone please reupload the Opera9.7_InternetTab.zip !?
anyone build a working OEM package that works with bookmarks for visual kitchen? so far I've been able to get an OEM to show up in the internet tab but not the bookmarks, if someone comes across it or has the OEM from the Raphael forum (the link was broken and I couldn't download) please share and post it
please someone reuploadit...
When you say "unzip and copy to windows," do you mean to unzip the CAB file, and then copy all the files to the windows directory on the phone? Please clarify, as I would love to try this guy out. Thanks!
9.7 is certainly alot quicker but still has some minor bugs.
With turbo mode the web pages are compress so much that when soomed out you cannot read the text

That is wrong, on my Diamond it rotates just fine when tilting the device, you're right about the scroll wheel though...
This is from the official site:
"Buy and Register Opera
You have a free 14 day trial period starting the first time you run Opera. To continue using Opera after the trial period, go to www.opera.com/buy to buy a registration code.
To register your copy, go to Menu > Options > Register Opera and enter your registration code."
Does this apply to the mobile version of the above release ?

No, that's for the "stable" version, 8.65.
There's no need of registration for the 9.7 Beta version and it isn't a trial.
i found text under turbo mode to be completely readable, images are pixelated though.
if your using the cab scroll wheel and auto-rotate probably won't work (if they do then yay!)
I finally got the scroll wheel working in opera 9.7b1! Here is what you need to do:
1. Create (or modify) the following registry keys
- Open [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SmartTouch\OperaMo bile]
- Set String "ClassName"="OPERA-ML-MAINWNDCLASS"
- Set Dword "Mode"="4"
- Set Dword "WheelCount"="2"
2. Edit input.ini (mine is located in \Internal Storage\Programs\Opera Mobile\profile)
- Go to the [Browser Widget] group
- Change "Right = Navigate right" to "Right = Zoom in, 10"
- Change "Left = Navigate left" to "Left = Zoom out, 10"
- Change "Down = Navigate down" to "Down = Zoom in, 10"
- Change "Up = Navigate up" to "Up = Zoom out, 10"
Have fun

does this work? got it from a thread in the diamond sub-forum
anyone else find that when you press a link on a web page it doesn't work? (mainly with turbo engaged) very anoying and the only thing stopping me using this
this browser is just amazing...i compared it with the iphone....wayyyyyy faster.....oh man it just takes 5 seconds tops for a site like ..engadget
i would LOVE Flash on this....or somehow make mach5 player work on this hehe somehow
i'd love to be able to download...whenever i click start download .......nothing happeneds....anybody else having the same problem?
Yes, download only works if you disable turbo mode. I guess it'll be functional in future versions.
Is there any way to enable the zoom on default?
Whenever I start Opera it shows the web-page in the mobile-view (which I enabled) is active but zoomed out.
Double-post. Sorry
I found out that with turbo on. there things you can't do like open a new tab,download and click on some links. think it must be the way the page downloads. This is easily sorted out by turning the turbo off and then reloading the page you were working with. I think turbo mode is just meant for loading pages bloody fast and finding what your looking for.

how can i unlock 2 tabs only on opera on my TP2

im using chiese tp2 with tf3d, over here we have opera originaly come with my tp2 however, i can only open 2 tabs, one is first page and one more after that. my job needs to be using more tabs that HTC gave to us (2 tabs only) i normally needed 4~ 6 different tabs, therefore, im wondering that if there is anyone know how to unlock this "tab problem"
i have already tried to adjest the "max allowable" in opera:config, but wnehever i tried that still i can only open 2 tabs.
i really need to have this function to be unlocked, and please help me
There was a thread around here that contains the exact solution to your problem.
Solution
type in the browser "opera:config" without the quotes, scroll down to "User Prefs" and click on it. scroll though that list till you get to "Max Allowed tabs". i changed mine to 15, I dont recommend changing it to 100 and then trying to open 100 pages. My pc has firefox and ive only had to use a max of 25 tabs
Sprint TP2
I have tried this time & again to no avail. Am i doing something wrong?
you may already know this but you have to scroll down to the end of the user pref. section and click the save button after you change the setting.
mylok, yeah had done that already. no such luck.
The reason it won't work for you is because of push internet. Opera is always running in the background. That's why the changes you make in opera:config won't stick.
2 ways to go about it:
-disable push internet and stop Opera from running. You can't do this from the GUI. See here for details.
-or you can edit the opera.ini file directly with a text editor. This is actually quite easy. Save the file to your desktop and open it with notepad. It's very easy to figure out what you need to edit. Open it and try. Then overwrite the original file. (it's found under "\windows\opera9\")

T-Mob. branded: change browser in internet-tab?

Hi guys,
is it possible to change the default Browser (T-Mobile web'n'walk [Opera9]) to self-installed Opera10?
Could not find any possibility...
thanks!
No ideas? Damn T-Mob branding. No ROM Update available
I don't have Opera 10 installed, so can't give you exact instructions, but there's an executable in the windows folder called OperaL. This is what manilla runs when you open internet explorer from the internet tab.
You need to replace that with the executable for opera 10. It's also possible that there are associated files and/or folders with Opera 10. They may or may not need to be copied into the windows folder too. Sorry I can't be more specific, but I don't have Opera 10 as I prefer to keep the ability to pinch-to-zoom.
Incidentally, this has nothing to do with T-Mobile's branding. An off-the-shelf SIM free HD2 (like mine) uses Opera 9 from the internet tab too. It just isn't branded as T-Mobiles.
Thanks for your answer.
If this would be a "normal" Opera 9, it would be OK and no Problem. But every time I'll start the Browser by clicking the icon in the internet tab, the "web and walk"-Opera-Browser asks me "Would you really go online?" and I have to tap "yes". This is really ugly and so I want to replace it by another browser - in this case opera 10.

I understand - that would get on my tats as well! If you prefer Opera 10, try the above. If you'd like to keep Opera 9, I could supply you with the exe off my phone and it may get rid of the message. Don't know for sure though.

Check "HKLM\Software\Opera\Defaults\ConnectConfirmationMsg" and set it to 0
also check "HKLM\Software\Opera\Defaults\FirstTimeConnectConfirmationMsg" and set that to 0.
Good luck!
Thanks for this registry hack, but both of them are set to 0 by default. very ugly.
@johncmolyneux thanks, but my colleague has a hd2, too, but unbranded. he will send me his operal.exe and then we'll test if it's running.
It's pretty easy to bypass the MessageBox. The Opera (or Web'n Walk) Shortcut in the startmenu points not to \windows\OperaL.exe but \windows\BrandedBrowser.exe... so simply edit the shortcut located in \windows\startmenü\programme with totalcommander or something.
As Far as the Internet Tab in Manila goes... i don't have a clue. i searched the registry, searched several xml files in \windows....
YES, DID IT!
Thank you, operative1.
I've searched the registry for "BrandedBrowser" and:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\UseBrandedBrowser set from 1 to 0 and look - Opera10 is opening. Now i just have to change the Icon - but at the moment i'm really happy that the Shortcut is right!
Thank you all guys!
Great. Looking long time for it.
Thanks a lot.
idephili
THANK YOU! It fit's!
No hack/edit needed!
If you open Opera 9 and go to Menu/Settings/Advanced and uncheck Set Opera as default browser then exit. When you install Opera 10 it asks at that time if you'd like to set it as your default browser select yes and your done. No registry hacks or anything else needed.
