how to change standard browser

Hallo,
since i started the Internet Explorer, Opera isn't longer standard browser, I have tried to change the reg-key:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\EFBROWSER]
"0"=Opera Browser
"1"=\\Windows\OperaL.exe\
"2"=dword:00000001
"3"=dword:00000000
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But it doesn't work. Does anybody know how to change it.

i'm sure if you seach enough you will find the answer, it has been asked many times.
i'm sure a search of "change default browser" will find something...
-edit- did the seach for you. Thread here

i have googled for it but the only thing i found is to change the registry.
When i lounch the browser from TF3D, Opera starts. That's OK. But when i "klick" on a link in RSS Hub Pocket IE starts.
Sorry for my bad english.

Increase number of tabs in Opera?

I'm currently using Dutty's 3.2 ROM with his 3.3 fix applied.
When I have 2 tabs open in Opera and try and open a 3rd, I get a 'maximum number of tabs' message.
Ideally I'd be able to open 3 or 4 tabs at once, so I did a search to see if I can find out how to change it - as my old Diamond could open 3 at a time.
I found a thread which said open Opera and type opera:config into the title bar and then search for 'tabs'. I do this, and its set to 2... so I change it to 4. It then tells me I may need to reset the device for changes to be applied. I restart it... and I still get the same error when I try and open a 3rd tab! If I type in opera:config again, its set back to 2. It seems to be resetting itself - and it doens't work if I don't reboot either.
Is there some file set as read only or something that I need to change before I change the setting as it doesn't seem to be keeping what I change it to.
Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem!

Edit : sorry, I didn't pay attention that you already tried

Just found the answer by fiddling - so heres how if anyones interested!
Open Total Commander, and browse to the Windows directory. Open the Opera9 folder.
Find the file opera.ini and click on it. Click File -> Edit.
Scroll down to the heading [User Prefs] (quite far down)
Find 'Maximum Allowed Tabs=' and change the 2 to a 4 (or whatever you want)
Click File -> Save.
Now find the file opera1.ini and click on it. Click File -> Edit.
Scroll down to the heading [User Prefs] (near the top this time!)
Find 'Maximum Allowed Tabs=' and change the 2 to a 4 (or whatever you want)
Click File -> Save.
Click File -> Exit.
Now REBOOT the device. When you start, you should be able to open 4 (or whatever you chose) tabs.
Simple really!!

Glad I can help out... I'm usually the one asking for help, so its nice to help someone out for a change!!!

Or, another way:
Start opera.
Type "opera:config" in the address bar.
Scroll down to "User prefs" category and open it.
Keep scrolling to you get to "Maximum Allowed Tabs" and type in a new number.
Depending on which ROM version you're running, you either need to restart opera or restart your mobile for it to take effect.
(I think you only need to restart entire mobile if you're using a "Push Internet" ROM)

Perhaps try reading the first post in a thread before replying...
If you're using Dutty's 3.3 rom and try what you said - it doesn't work - hence why I said I'd tried it in the first post... and then found a way of actually getting it to work.

You are completely correct.
I read the first post, but didn't pay attention.
I read 'maximum number of tabs' and thought Opera:config, why bother with editing files... ?
What's worse; I have Dutty's 3.3 and had the same problem.
In my case it worked using Opera:config, exiting opera using opera's menu and then reboot...
Nevertheless, I apologize. I should have read with my brain as well as my eyes...

mind me...i was searching for a solution to this prob. and to jus highlight my choice of method which worked for me was the method used by Royan
ELFIN
ROM: Original Shipped Rom (M2D 3.10)
Default Opera: 9.5 Build (2392)
Anyhoo thanks to both of yous

Why my zoombar works only with the photos?

Now my zoombar works only with the photos.
Someone can help me to make it work with the other applications?

I had the same issue, this happend after I installed something for Opera. I solved it by a hardreset.

you can set the zoombar to work with many applications by adding them to the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SmartTouch\

This sounds very interesting. Could you please explain the procedure more? E.g., if I want to add Resco Mind Games and Pool Rebel, what steps should I take to achieve it?

I have this entry in my registry and also there is the key for Opera Browser, but it don't work.
What values I must set for Opera Browser?

It seems it does not work if page is loaded in "mobile view". If you disable "mobile view" (in Opera: Settings->Display>Mobile view) and reload the page, it should work.

thanks so much, I have checked what you said, that by disabling "mobile view" the zoombar works correctly with Opera browser.
Hovewer I think that "mobile view" is the best setting for most of web sites.
Perhaps in mobile view the zoombar is unnecessary .....

keenly awaiting the arrival of my Diamond 2 after using the Diamond for a year....fingers crossed
can use the zoombar like a scroll bar when you rotate to widescreen? guess I'll find out tomorrow

Anyone that knows how to set up an app in the Reg Key Smartouch, so as zoom bar can be used there?

For those who wanted to activate zoombar for Opera 10, can refer to this thread

I've only got it partially worked. Will try further.
Sorry I cant post a link since I'm only junior member.

A problem with deleted registry keys

Hi folks,
I was trying to change the Favourites icons on the HD2, having found them in the Windows > Thumbnails folder, and managed to delete both of the registry keys in doing so. I thought they would reappear if I removed and replaced the Favourites, but they haven't, and now I am left with no website icon at all, just the grey 'internet' icon. I have set other Favourites to different buttons, and these work fine, the registry keys having appeared. How can I fix the problem with the first two icons?
Thanks for any help.
Simon.

Anyone?

you can re-add the registry keys you deleted, no?

No, it was one of those {xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx} type keys, and I have no idea what the letters and numbers were now. I'm just annoyed with myself for not taking a backup first. It was the old "It'll be alright" syndrome.

Make a backup of your phone (e.g. with SPB Backup), then Hard-reset, then restore backup.

Thanks. I was hoping to avoid that, but I think I'll have to.

Have you only tried setting them as what they were before, or have you tried setting them to different favourites?
I had a similar problem and got round it by modifiying the URL in a way that would not change the location, but make the UI think it was different, and therefore reloaded the icons.

Yes, I've tried with different URLs, and they work. The problem definitely seems to be with the URL. If I use that same URL in any of the other button links, they too won't display the thumbnail, but will for any other URL, and any other URL also works in the two buttons I've 'broken'. Seems I need some way to make it completely forget those two URLs, so that I can start again. Deleting them from Favourites doesn't do it, as the same thing happens again when I redo them.

Then try this trick - it's how I fixed the exact problem.
Remove the problem favourites from the internet tab.
Open either Opera or IE so you can edit your favourites.
Modify the URL of the problematic favourites by adding ?a=1 (If the URL already has a ? and then some other stuff, put &a=1 instead).
You should now be able to add the favourites back to the internet tab, and after a visit to them in Opera they should have refreshed (fingers x'ed!)
Let us know how you get on

OK, well, that works, until I remove the '?a=1' and go back to the original URL. If I don't do that, the browser ignored the ';wap2' suffix, and opens up the full site, which I don't want, as it's a forum, and it's 100 times easier to use the 'wap' interface. If I add ';wap2' after the '?a=1', then it does open the wap interface, but takes me to the index page, rather than Unread Posts, which is what the bookmark is for.
I know I'm being a bit fussy and anal, but these two forums are the ones I Admin on, so I use the bookmark links all the time, and it's going to be annoying if they don't work the way I want them to.
Thanks for the suggestion, though, and if you can think of a way to get it to work, I'd be more than grateful. I won't post the full link, so as not to spam, but the URLs are both the same, and are variants of:

How to get the real ENGADGET on Opera 10 (solution)

Hi guys I was very frustrated every time I want to read Engadget on the new opera mobile 10 without using Turbo mode. I spend lot of time looking for a solution trying to spoof agent and others but no way to get the real version...instead everytime I get a text only version for wap devices.
Finally I found the solution:
In opera10 goto to the web page "OPERA:CONFIG"
goto NETWORK and scroll down for "HTTP Accept"
there put this text:
text/html, application/xml;q=0.9, application/xhtml+xml, image/png, image/jpeg, image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, */*;q=0.1, application/youtube-client, application/x-obml2d, multipart/mixed
PS:This solution can be a workarround to others sites with the same problem too.
I hope this will be usefull to someone

it's a pain in the ass typing it all, but it's worth it thanx for the tip. now if there would be a fix for the text flow/break

My biggest issue is the crap zoom (needs at least a zoombar if pinch to zoom isn't an option) and camera not working with Opera running in the background.
Also, for engadget (I'm on there all the time), you can just scroll down and hit view desktop/full version. Also, you can add something like ?m=false (it's not that exactly, and I can't check it at the moment) and it will change the default mobile version to the full version.
However if your tweak works for all sites, then hats of to you! And I need to get on that later tonight.

You dont need to type it!
connect your HD2 to activesync, and go to the folder where you installed opera 10, got to the folder profile and then edit the file "Opera.ini" (in my case it is \Storage Card\program files\Opera Mobile 10\profile\opera.ini)
There, under [Network] add the text like this:
[Network]
HTTP Accept=text/html, application/xml;q=0.9, application/xhtml+xml, image/png, image/jpeg, image/gif, image/x-bitmap, */*;q=0.1, application/youtube-client, multipart/mixed
Save the file to the HD2 and that is
(I first do this the hard way...typing all in the HD2 grrr)

Can you gimme a page with the text flow/break problem? I will try to find a solution to that too. (still none of the pages I usually go show this bug)

Thanks Shagratt.
BTW, to everyone worried about entering all that text, most of it is already there as the default, all you have to do is add the last part listed below to the end and save.

Not exactly, I think the most important one is removing the wap part (engadget must use this to detect mobile devices), but in my opera mobile 10 there was only a empty space, so I have to write all.
