No unique User Agent String in Opera - Touch HD General

Hi Guys,
For development purposes I need the Opera Browser to send an unique User Agent String to the webserver (this is to distinguish between SonyEricsson X1 and Touch HD)
Based on the article
http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/opera-mobile-9-5-the-developer-angle/
The Touch HD is sending:
Opera/9.5 (Microsoft Windows; PPC; Opera Mobi/2682; U; de)
In this article there is a passage which says:
Note that the PPC part of the string is read from the registry on the phone; on some phones it may be modified to something different by the handset manufacturer, e.g. HTC PPC.

Click to collapse
... so it would be easy to create a registry file to install on all handsets to replace "PPC" with "TouchHD PPC" ...
My problem is that I don't find the entry containing PPC in the registry with Total Commander.
please help me

Pre-announce: XDA Special Edition ROM v1.2, need your help!

We're creating Special Edition ROM v1.2, the last one still based on the 'old' O2 3.17.03 ROM. We chose not yet to build based on PPC2003 because we feel many things will still change between now and the actual release, and we still need to learn a lot more in order to be able to make something which is a significant improvement over the official ROM, once it appears.
So what's new in v1.2 ?
PhonExt
[list:a7505d4dbf]Single handed dialing
per-contact and per-category ringtones
D9
Another means of dialing with one hand
imov Messenger Basic (formerly jabberCE)
jabber
ICQ
AIM
Yahoo
MSN
PocketCHAT
IRC
tdClock
Large clock displayed on Today screen
tdLaunch
A few rows of shortcut buttons on today screen
[/list:u:a7505d4dbf]
Futhermore we fixed a few remaining issues, and depending on space we may add a virus scanner (AirScanner), an alternative POP mail client (nPOP) , and maybe more.
We need your help:
In order to be able to add more providers in the AutoConfig dialog, we need snapshot files from people that have a working setup for their provider.
Here's the procedure:
1) Check http://xda-developers.com/incoming to see your provider isn't there yet.
2) Set up your machine like someone in your country is likely to want it (12/24 hr clock, timezone (pacific for US?) and other regional settings. Create the necessary connections (at least GPRS, WAP if possible), and name them something logical (such as "O2 GPRS Internet").
3) Make a snapshot using the ssnap.exe tool provided with the Special Edition ROM.
4) Extract the following keys with all their values and data from the snapshot to a text-file:
[list:a7505d4dbf][HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Clock]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Destinations\WAP Settings]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Providers\{EF097F4C-DC4B-4c98-8FF6-AEF805DC0E8E}\HTTP-{ADB0B001-10B5-3F39-27C6-9742E785FCD4}]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Providers\{EF097F4C-DC4B-4c98-8FF6-AEF805DC0E8E}\null-corp-{310E8001-80B9-C8BE-C333-EB6AB0026E3C}
For each connection, the following keys, where XXXX is the name of your connection:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\XXXX]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\XXXX]
5) Name the text file "Country - Provider" (e.g. "Germany-D1") and upload using ftp to xda-developers.com, username 'xdaftp' password 'xdaftp'.[/list:u:a7505d4dbf]
There's a file already there called 'Netherlands-O2' which can serve as an example.
You help will be much appreciated by others, and you'll be able to cold-boot v1.2 and have all your provider's settings right there. Deadline is this Sunday, July 6th, in the evening.
@ Peter Poelman
My Provider in Austria needs my Phone # (+43699xxxxxxxx) as User and a personalized password for GPRS Authentication.
My question:
is such a snapshot useful for the next release??

Please remove that annoying battery low bleep reminder.
After all its just another registry entry.
Why was this over looked...

No, it's not. I guess users of this provider would need to set up GPRS themselves.

Then again: you could just leave off the user and password values, and it would still be useful: i.e. provide apn, proxy (if applicable) and other settings. So yes, please send it anyway...

Hey, it also will be EXCELLENT if we can put our OWN LOGO (or picture) in the after RESET screen.
Dear XDA developer,
I already uploaded Thailand with AIS as the provider. There are other 2 providers in Thailand, which are DTAC and Orange. I will try to find them.
I wonder that some tools might be on your consideration in v1.2:
- Adobe Acrobat Reader
- TIFF file viewer (for viewing FAX file on our mail)
- Ephemeris for checking the Sun, Moon and Compass
- Ruler (I think this is cool, when you need to measure something but no ruler)
- Stop time for StopWatch
- FreqTune for checking the sound frequency
- Remote Display, CERDisp (Microsoft)
(All above is freeware)

Hi Jabber by mov software creates a lot of GPRS traffic as opposed to ICQ. Since both apps are freeware, I suggest you install both in the next release. What I would _really_ love is the pocket divx player which can also handle ogg vorbis and mp3. Definitely a better choice than the Windows Media Player (www.pocketmvp.com).
Installing VNC was an excellent idea!
This is a great place for info on the xda, my respects to y'all at xda-developers.com

You can, just create your own theme. Or create your own ROM if you want it to survive cold-boot.

I'll try to find it (I'll ask if Google doesn't help me), and see if they are suitable. We're beginning to run out of space, so I may need to make some choices soon.
Hi XDA developer Peter Poelman
:wink:
Also it would be nice to create a tool to change your operating logo on your XDA i.e. I’m using T-Mobile as my provider

Hi,
I have added the German-D1 settings...
just to let you know I had to choose two different Keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Destinations\Einstellungen WAP]
... Wap Settings is Einstellungen WAP in German Systems...Installed on an English 1.2 it should go in WAP Settings Key I would guess...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Providers\{EF097F4C-DC4B-4c98-8FF6-AEF805DC0E8E}\null-corp-{FB2E8000-800B-849A-BC41-A56D8A2D7266}]
... I was not able to find the {310E8001-80B9-C8BE-C333-EB6AB0026E3C} in my German system, so I took the one with "Proxy"="new-corp:1743" line, as in you netherland "demo" file.
Let me know if this is useble or if I shall search something different...

What about the following Reg tweaks?
Low Battery Warning:
Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\
Create a String value named "Default" and set its value to "Low battery warning".
Now go to Start > Settings > Personal tab > Sounds & Notifications applet > Notifications tab, select "Low battery warning" in the "Select an event" drop-down list and you can customize it.
Disable startmenu animation
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\
Change the "AniType" value from 6 to 0.
Display Daten and Time in titlebar
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\
Create a binary value named "TBOpt" and set its value to "13 00 00 00"
Just my 2 cents

Icons in Total Commander
@ Peter Poelman
i found that the default icons in Total Commander point to \program files\... , but Total Commander is in the Windows dir.
for correct appearance of folders and zip-files i changed the following registry entries:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tcfolder\DefaultIcon]
"Default"="\\windows\\cecmd.exe,-105"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZIPArchive\DefaultIcon]
"Default"="\\windows\\cecmd.exe,-102"
and i forgot:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZIPArchive\Shell\Open\Command]
"Default"="\"\\windows\\cecmd.exe\" \"%1\""
regards,
Fidl

Is there a registry edit for......

1) Making the picture size when a contact calls me bigger? Its always a small thumbnail size of their picture, I'd like to full size it, or, even full screen, just something bigger.
2) make my browser validate itself as ie 6 on windows xp? Im tired of viewing "mobile" sites as default, and want full internet functionality.
2)
Disguise your version of Pocket Internet Explorer Internet Explorer 6.0 running on Windows XP!
Many web sites that require encryption (such as banks and online retailers) don't verify if your browser support high encryption, they just check the browser version.
This registry hack will make Pocket Internet Explorer identifies itself as Internet Explorer 6.0 running on Windows XP, which may let you connect to web site that check the browser version
NOTE - This hack will prevent web sites that provide Pocket PC specific content to be able to know you're actually using a Pocket PC.
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent \
Change the default value from "Mozilla/2.0" to "Mozilla/4.0".
Change the "Version" value from "MSIE 3.02" to "MSIE 6.0".
Change the "Platform" value from "Windows CE" to "Windows NT 5.1".
Some web sites may just compare the user agent string, but if this is not enough, browse to the Post Platform\ sub key and delete the "240x320" value that specifies screen size.

Vodafone Live! on HTC Touch HD ..

Actual article present on my blog here.
I posted earlier about how to access the Mobile TV on HTC Touch HD on my blog here. But later I found out that method as an inadequate one to continue in normal usage. So I did some more R&D at home around this and found the perfect method of doing so !
So here you go now.
My HTC Touch HD has, L26 v9.0 WWE ROM and you need following software before proceeding further.
* AdvancedConfig – for doing the configuration changes on Internet Explorer User agent
* PHM registry editor – for making the changes to rtsp default player
Vodafone Live! runs primarily on S60 based devices and I had an excellent experience of it running on my earlier Nokia N95. So you need to try and ‘fool’ the system at Vodafone to assume your phone as a N95 instead of Internet Explorer running on a Windows Mobile phone. To do so, you need to change the ‘mobile’ user agent string of your Internet Explore browser to the one used for N95. Use the following steps to change the user agent string.
1. Run AdvancedConfig
2. Expand Internet Explorer option
3. Click on User Agent custom base
4. Change the value as follows
Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.2; U; Series60/3.1 NokiaN95/11.0.026; Profile MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1) AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413
Once you are done with this, to ensure that the change has worked, Open the internet explorer browser and go to the website http://www.useragentstring.com. Your browser should recognize your device as N95 using Mozilla Safari browser.
If this happens, then you have passed the first step!
Now go to Start –> Settings –> Connections –> Connections –> Advanced –> Select networks
Select “Contract WAP” as the default network and you are good to go.
Just to test if this works.. try accessing http://live.vodafone.co.uk via your Internet Explorer browser (in a Mobile mode, not Desktop mode) and see if it works for you.
It worked for me and I hope it would work for you.
However, I had one issue with HTC Streaming Media that the rtsp link would not play. Hence I had to go and change the default RTSP player to WMPlayer.exe by modifying the registry.
If you too are having similar issue, then open PHM registry editor and access the key \HKCR\rtsp\Shell\Open\Command. Change the default value from StreamingPlayer.exe to WMPlayer.exe “%1” and you should be able to view the streaming from your Windows Media player.
Try the above steps and let me know how it goes…
What .. no reply? :-(
Hey!
So, I have done exactly as you said, but no luck... the User Agent does not change. To be mentioned: I am using Dutty's XTREME v2.1. Perhaps the User Agent Code is stored in another place, not where AdvancedConfig expects to find it...

Dunno much about Dutty's ROM. I had it earlier and the above process did not work for me there .. probably because the Internet Explorer browser in there has a hard coded useragentstring in browser.dll
I tried the above on L26 ROM and it worked .. in fact to my surprise ... !
Hello!
Just an update. Everything works fine with Opera Mobile 6.5; there it is easyer to change the User Agent String. I replaced it with the string you gave and ... everything is working fine. Couldn't convince IEM6 to work, though! Ah, well... the procedure how to change to a Custom Agent String in Opera is described here: "In opera:config, User Perfs there is a setting called “Custom User-Agent”.". Good luck!
One question: where can I find this browser.dll in my device? Oh, and the quality of the live stream from VodafoneLive is lousy!
Thanks ...
I dunno about the browser.dll, supposedly in the Windows folder somewhere. I suggest you not to try and play with that, otherwise you will corrupt your IE forever.
I tried on IE first and it worked, so never bothered to try on Opera. Kept opera separately and in tact for web browsing ..

Text Reflow in Internet Explorer Mobile

I have a UK version of the HD2
Text reflow used to work alright in internet explorer as long as I was on the original factory installed ROM (1.43).
Ever I have upgraded to the ROM version 1.48 as available on the HTC UK website the text reflow inside internet explorer has stopped working.
I cannot even revert back to the original 1.43 ROM as a link to this is nowhere available.
Can anyone help. And anyone who upgraded to the UK 1.48 ROM also experiencing a similar problem.
Thanks in advance for all your help

Why would you not use Opera? Especially when HTC went ahead and made it the default browser for you...

There are things that IE can do that Opera can't, and obviously vice-versa.
I'd be interested in text-reflow in IE, but to be honest, I don't remember it ever working.

I alternate Opera and Skyfire for different needs, never saw a need for IE. Microsoft should have just dropped it if they couldn't make it better, because people unfamiliar to WM and the existence of browser choice dismiss WM entirely because of PIE.

Well there's the obvious "Opera doesn't run flash" issue, and there's a thread running at the minute with people asking why you can't use NTLM authentication in Opera (Windows Domain Authentication).
They're the first 2 things that sping to mind.
IE is fine, but each browser has their strengths and weaknesses. Anyway, this thread isn't a discussion about who says which browser is best, so I won't go any further into that.
Each to their own. I agree with the OP and want text-reflow in IE.

Yes, which is exactly why the OP has asked if anyone knows if this can in some way be enabled. If you want it in Skyfire, I'd suggest getting in touch with their support, or opening a new thread asking if anyone here has experience in somehow enabling it. I'm not saying it's possible, but I don't know that it isn't.
Thanks to everyone for posting here.
However I can confirm that Text Reflow was working perfectly with the original factory installed 1.43 ROM.
My problem is that I cannot find the original ROM now as only the new version 1.48 is now available on HTC's UK site.
As to why I want to use PIE over Opera is that some of the sites I visit more frequently are more compatible with PIE such as if you would like to play video clips on the BBC news site and specially my banking site which Opera can just not open.
Given the shortcomings of PIE such as no tabbed browsing and no pinch to zoom I still prefer PIE over Opera.

I have finally been able to get hold of the original ROM from 4shared.com
This is the RUU_LEO_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1****_ship.exe.
After installing this ROM text reflow is back again.
I am now going to compare the registry entries for Internet Explorer between the two ROMs. Will keep everybody infromed when I am done.
Thanks

Good plan - I look forward to hearing more, but I suspect that it may be down to the exe, rather than settings.

As in my previous posts, "Text Reflow" worked okay with the original 1.43 ROM on my HTC HD2. However for subsequent newer ROMs like 1.48 and 1.66, text reflow did not work.
Here is a registery change which has enabled text reflow to work once again, in both 1.48 as well as 1.66 ROMs
Using a registry editor go to :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main \
Add a DWORD entry "Enable Mobile Optimized View" with a DWORD = 1
Add a DWORD entry "Mobile Optimized View Minimum Height" with a DWORD = 50
With these changes internet explorer mobile is working with text reflow enabled on my 1.66 ROM. So anyone out there wanting to upgrade to the higher ROM's but simply does not want to loose the text reflow ability within internet explorer mobile, here is a solution.

Facebook Mobile

Hello everyone, I wonder if there is another version of facebook.But I'm pretty sure he is not in.
I think everyone agrees with me that this version is totally horrible. Why Facebook is for Windows phone so poorly made? Compared to that of android or iphone! I am ready to create a group for those who are prepared to 0.5 dollars per person for the dévellopers trying to create a true version of facebook for windows phone like android and iphone! Personally i am ready to invest in another version of facebook
What do you think? Thank you everyone, I hope I was clear

that's your opinion, this post is dedicated to people who often uses facebook, and for these people, use opera + facebook.com is not terrible
there is a never version of the facebook app that is available, for free, from ms marketplace. It's versioned 1.2 as opposed to v1.1 that comes preinstalled but i do agree with the other posters, Use opera, but you may need to change the user agent string in the newer versions to get the full site instead of the mobile one (i certainly had to)

There is a facebook for everyone.
And yes, I use it quite often and, as you see, the facebook app misses some important options.
So simply add a shortcut in the Internet tab and everything is fine.

To change the Custom User Agent field in Opera's config.
Open Opera and goto the address bar
Enter opera:config (make sure there is no http etc)
Scroll down to User Prefs and open the section
Scroll down to Custom User Agent
Remove everything in the box and enter the following string:
HTC_HD2_T8585 Opera/9.7 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)
Then scroll to the bottom of the list and there will be a save button, click it.
That works for me, I think the important part for whether its mobile or desktop version is in the brackets...
Another vote for touch.facebook.com

Thanks for the confirmation. My instinct told me to go back and check the "Leo Hints and Tips" thread to change it back from the Touch HD settings. So I was right. Funnily enough, the status box on the full FB website now works again!
