Hi guys,
i've been installing different builds on my X1 to see if any of them offer better rendering, zoom etc. but all of them have issues with the hardware keyboard.
Apart from the pre-installed build of Opera has anyone managed to find a newer build that works with our X1?
Many thanks!
Nope, still use the stock opera.
Me too. Anything other than the stock one gives nothing but trouble.
Same here. Stock opera ftw...
Ver 9.5 Build 2141... which is stock.
No reason to change as it suits my needs. I don't use the hardware keyboard on this anyway.
Stock one here too, I tried loads of builds but this one seems to work the best or the X1, plus it allows access to BBC iPlayer with the stock one.
the latest one from the omnia repacxked for vga 15233
typed using the hardware keyboard

The vga one works on the X1's wvga screen?
yep its only a skin
I have tried 15233 on my X1 and i didn't work quite so well as the stock one. The hardware keyboard was not functioning properly and because it is VGA version the zooming doesn't always focus correctly on the X1's screen
Hi all,
most people want to change opera version because they think there is no zoom option like the HD one when you can choose the degree of zoom.
But you can zoom in and out using the volume up and down button
lol thx. i didnt knew that

Great! Must check it.
P.S. The beta version which we have on X1 is amazing...
Opera
Hi
I'm using opera 9.5 15202 vga version on my Xperia X1i and it works beautifully
with zoom and all, I'm using 5 tabs option even. works fine for me.

I tried to update to 15xxx with overwriting opera.exe and operal.exe in \windows folder.
After that Opera is not starting anymore, so I went back to stock .exe files.
Did somebody make a .cab from the stock X1 opera so I can test the installs without having to do a hardreset when I want to go back to original one?
I heared that Build 15xxx have othe .ini than 2xxx, maybe that's the reason for updating-problems?!
no, the beta 2 version crashes alll the time
the stock is just fine for me!
Does the stock version support flashlite 3.1? It doesn't work for me. If anyone has it working, what opera build do you use and what flashlite cab did you install?
Was using the stock. Using 15233 right now, but I was going to go back. Its not really better and I think panning works better in the stock. Will try 15202 though.
My flash works.
Build is 2141 I think.

Can you tell me what cab you installed for flash? My flash acts like it wants to work but never fully loads. There will just be an empty box where a flash object should be. I can even tap and hold on it and get the flash context menu.
I am using the stock version of Opera but I am having problems getting it to load some of the forums I visit. I get the message "The requested page cannot be displayed". When I use wifi I get the XML Parsing Error. Is there a fix for this somehwere? I never had this issue using Opera 9.5 before the X1a.

As I seen through lots of research most people are having problems with the hardware keyboard functioning in Opera. Can someone with development experience create a fix for this? I can elaborate on the issue as I've researched it but I think most people are familiar with this issue.
This would be amazing if it could be done. It's the issue that's keeping me from using 9.5.
I go through the same thing. But instead of the touch keyboard, i use the regular keyboard.
wich is the last version of opera 9.5 wicht is comnpatible to the htc wizard hardware keyboard?
The stock installation on my Xperia might work, its optimized for hardware keyboards and works w...err, lets say better than the other builds floating around It's for VGA devices, you'd have to find a skin for QVGA, there's some floating around the forums here or you just back up your old one (\Windows\Opera9\skin\standard_skin.zip) and copy it back after the installation.
Edit: Uploaded here [Link]. Its Build 2141 direcly pulled from an XPERIA X1. This version puts its files (settings, config files, cache, skin, ...) in \Application Data\Opera9 instead of \Windows\Opera9 as HTC builds do.
Please report back if it worked for you so that other know, if they can try.
thx......ill give it a try. but i want an sd card installation ;-)

hmmm....i´ve tryed it.....i get an error on setup.

Can you please just pull out the Opera9.exe and OperaL.exe ( I think thats what they are ), so that we may just do an update to keep our qvga skins, and bypass the install problem? That might just do the trick..
Thanks much!
Rytt
good idea....this schuld be working
So i guess its agreed that there is no fix out there. Time to roll up our sleeves and come up with something. This problem is annoying a lot of people and keeping many from using the software at all.

Use Opera Mobile 1184! It works perfectly with the keyboard, able to uninstall (since it's on the SD card) and if the files are posted here that I've requested and if it works, viola! Fast Opera + Perfect Keyboard.
I still wonder why I have heard no news of Touch Pro's Opera working with Tilt's keyboard. Any thoughts?

Everyone else that I spoke to said that build was slower. Can anyone confirm one way or the other?
Have you guys with the keyboard problem tried the 1957 build? I have it on my Mogul and don't have any problem with either the on screen or the device keyboard.
Here is the link for 1957 with SD installation that is uninstallable...(This version also puts its files; settings, config files, cache, skin, ... in \Application Data\Opera9 instead of \Windows\Opera9 as HTC builds do).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425268
It is also faster than the 23xx versions except for the latest build 2745

Build 1957 works fine on my x7510 (no keyboard problem neither autorotation problem). Now I'm trying Opera build 2520 extracted from the latest oficial Omnia ROM. There is no problem with the keyboard and seems faster than build 1957.

Where do you get 2520? Do you have a cab or the upgrade? Also, are the files installed in \Windows\ or \Application folder?
sorry guys for not keeping up with the thread, I was quite busy lately. Unfortunately I'm on the go right now and cant upload the requested 2141 files. Ill do that once I get home, hang on a little longer...
Question which I have, is which build the Touch Pro features and if Flash will run in that version respectively in the 19xx builds mentioned abovee... While flash is not a must I'd like to have it none the less.

I extracted it directly from the Omnia ROM. So there is no cab (although I can try to create a cab with this build).
The files are instaled on \Application Data\Opera9, just like build 1957 (also from a omnia ROM). In fact, the files on the new build are almost equal to the ones on build 1957.

That would be awesome if you could make a cab of 2520 for SD install. Also, does it have the zoom like 1957 where you slide your finger on the right side of the screen? Or is it like the 23xx versions where you tap on the up arrow, then the zoom icon, then zoom slider? I really like the 1957 zoom, it is much easier and intuitive to use.
Thanks!

Zoom is like in build 1957. For those that want a quick upgrade from version 1957 extract this files to \windows folder.

Before creating a cab I want to test opera widgets.
there a file config for the Keyboards quick link
New opera build extracted from latest (30/12/2008) Omnia ROM:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MH67LC7D
It has the same features (zoom style, scroll window, etc) than previus builds from Omnia ROMs
Enjoy
very nice, i have always considered omnia opera builds some of the best.
any chance you have a link for the rom?
In the line of the 1957 ? Great i'm gonna test it
Played a bit with this version, Flashlite 3 worked after reinstall on memory (i had Opera on SD and this one is on memory)
I can't tell if it is much faster than the build 1957, but it scrolls fast, the zoom is smooth and there is no landscape issues with my kaiser when using the hardware keyboard. I also noticed that it lags less than previous build when scrolling/zooming with flash stuff on the page.
I love it
Darn, didn't fix two of my issues - Stars don't show up on the Google Reader Iphone version (google.com/reader/i) and my phone is still identified as a mobile device for ESPN.com. The mobile version loads automatically and I cannot get the regular version to load, even though in my settings I have it set to identify itself as a desktop computer.
Anyone else run into these issues?
Thanks!
Anyone got a mirror? I can't download this thing from megaupload, very weird!
Just installed this version and now everytime i start my phone is just insists on loading up opera on its own, and if i close it, it will just fire it back up every minute
very annoying!

This Opera version is awesome...
FAST, cool interface... Flash 3 work now...
Zoom bar in right side... no keyboard problem...
wow ! i think one of better Opera build tested for me...
THX for this gift ! happy new year !
Any way to get a SD version please?
I am using the 2520 version from the omnia that is the two file upgrade from the 1957 version. The omnia versions have always been the best.
Thanks
Can one of you guys please try https://secure.k12planet.com in this build. Im still on build 2128 because every build after this one results in the site saying that the browser is incompatible. I need this site to work for school. Thanks.
Edit: If it works, the page will show a login screen. Wait until the page stops loading because on the Opera builds where it doesn't work, it briefly shows the login screen before quickly changing to the browser incompatibility page.
^^^vidman...that site loaded for me on 2520

Guys, calm down...
It isn't a zoom slider like in the other opera versions. There isn't a "zoom" button. This one...tap on the right side of the screen, and slide finger. If you wait too long you get the menu. You will see a vertical zoom bar popup. Much better IMHO since it doesn't have the zoom button covering up the screen.
hello! anyone have problem that when backlight goes off it starts to blink? like one second backlight on and other off? anyidea how fix that?
VGA skin is attached. I did it real quick, there might be a few glitches, I used the basic diamond skin, but this one has all features of the omnia version. so give it a shot. it is better then nothing at least. and it works great on the touch pro.

Well then I'd hate to say this but the QVGA cab does not work on my HTC Touch running stock Sprint 6.1 ROM. Says "Unable to install Opera Mobile 9.5. The device does not have a valid ROM version.". I checked the cab and it's not limiting to specific platforms and I've had this error before on another Opera cab and removing the Setup DLL from the cab fixed it. I'll try that and let you know. Thanks.
same problem on my Sprint HTC Touch for the QVGA, running NFSFAN's rom and can't install.
Removing the Setup DLL from the cab fixes it.
ooppppssss hold on i will fix that
ok it is fixed and reuploaded now
installs now, thanks. seems pretty speedy!
Hi, some question:
We can use flash in this build??
Do you gonna release Sd version for the app (for qvga version)?
Thanks

Does this also include all the other Raphael devices like the unbranded Touch Pro or an Xda Pro or is this really a Fuze-only build to be used on AT&T's network?
anybody know the changes?

the one labeled - fuze vga - is set up for at&t since i have a fuze
the one labeled - vga - is for any vga device
the one labeled - qvga - is any qvga device.
Ok, thats what I figured, it might be preconfigured (guess proxy settings and stuff) specificly for the Fuze and not any Raphael. Thanks for the answer, will try the build. I'm on 15202 now and it works really well on a Touch Pro, massively better than the 15529 or so, it's got zoom and renders really quickly.
Is there any consensus on whether 15202 is the most reliable/effective Opera build thus far?
I will tell you which one works better for me, this one or the 15202 once I managed to get this on my mobile. I'm currently fighting with Netbook-Touch Pro-connectivity related problems and I'm too lazy to get out of bed to try the whole thing upstairs with my Notebook...

Cant agree, lucian777. For me 15202 is better, mainly because
Nicer loading screen
Adaptive Zoom settings are right after install, no manual tinkering
15202 got the bottom left zoom slider
cant make out any speed differences so far
So no advantages but no real drawbacks either, so I stay with 15202 on my Touch Pro.
Edit: Big drawback, this 15445 isnt uninstallable!
Edit 2: And no other Opera will install ontop of it, tells me installation failed... gotta love those hardresets... *grmpf*
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!

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.
There is a video on youtube showing the HTC HD2 running internet explorer with multitouch working - pinch to zoom.
Now I know IE is not the popular choice but I find the flash support in some of the newer roms to be excellent and I probably use IE more than Opera.
Does anyone know how to get multitouch working in IE?
You could use BSBtweaks which lets you add apps to pinch to zoom and rotate.
Thanks for the response, tried but no luck. Im using MIRI rom, not sure if it's compatible

The ROM won't change this - it's part of the OS. For some reason, you can't add pinch-to-zoom to some programs. IE is one of them.

Ah, that sucks a little, IE has become quite a good browser, if I could get multitouch, like in the video, I could ditch opera :-(

Bump, was thinking the same
i wasnt liking the new implementation of opera 10 and was searching for a tweak in IE
The version that you are seeing is a special one that Adobe used to show off flash 10.1 running on the device with 'propper' pinch zoom built in. I'm sure it will eventualy leak in one of the 6.5.x builds, but until MS leak it then we are stuffed.
