How to uninstall Opera 9.5 Build 2745

Hi Community,
I installed Opera 9.5 Build 2745 Cab from a Touch HD on my Xperia.
Because there is a bug with the keyboard, you can only type one letter in a textbox and after that it will deselect that box, I want to get rid of it.
My problem is I can't remove this version via System -> Remove programs.
It's just not listet there. I already tried do install/uninstall an official beta of Opera.
This only helped me as far as an Opera was listet but it only removed the official beta.
Anyone a suggestions what I could do?
thanks in advance

why dont you run the stock Opera from the Windows folder? that in theory will install the default X1 version and replace the one from Touch HD.

Just go to your windows directory in the root of your phone memory there you will find a .cab of the stock opera
Thank you for your reply, byt there is no an Opera cab there...
- Some people here have had the same problem. I think they all did a hard-reset (everything will be gone afterwards).
-> If you do a hard-reset, you can update your ROM while your at it. The new official ROMs have a better Opera version built in (9.5 build 2532, but way better than the original one, scrolling works with the optical joystick now, faster, better landscape support etc...)
My problem is that in my custom rom (Touch-It Experience v.3.01) I have Opera 9.5 Build 2532, but I cannot change with AEKmap to the GREEK layout. Is not working. I can write only English...
Perhaps, should I take the: Opera.exe and OperaL.exe from the cab of Build 2520 (which is working with AEKmap - Greek well, but there is no scrolling which I DO want!) and overite the ones of the 2532?
Or vice versa?
Do you think that I will solve the problem?
Thank you!
I searched and searched...and I didn't found a solution.
Is there now a way to uninstall opera when it's not listed in the program list? It's driving me crazy!

Reinstalling doesn't work
When I try to do this, it say's something like "opera software asa opera 9.5 cannot be removed"
Did you just try to install on top of the current version, without uninstalling it?
I think this version is in some custom ROMs. The bug was definately the same and installing the version I linked to on top of the previous version always did the trick for me. But perhaps it depends on the ROM
Maybe it's because Opera mobile is my standard browser?
Could this be the reason why I can't re/uninstall it?
Another option is to try SKT Tools. You can kill opera.exe and I found several posts here and on PPCGeeks stating that it worked.
I tried it with the stock opera on my Sprint TP, and it worked (I do not even remember what the original version was). First time I got the same message (cannot delete...). But once I stopped the opera.exe from running, it worked just fine.
Hope this helps.

How to enable internet sharing (tethering) with stock ROM?

Hi,
As title said. I want to share internet using my X1 with a stock ROM. I tried dutty's inernet sharing app but it did not work. Is there any working app to share internet with PC using a stock ROM(like UK STOCK R3 ROM)
And yes i have searched all over but most solutions i have found works only on selected phones, not X1.
Thanks.
Go to the start menu-->Programs-->Internet Sharing
If you need help, there is a help menu in the start menu.
There is no Internet sharing application with the UK stock ROM at least.
I have a stock UK ROM and Internet Sharing is listed under Internet (not sure if this was a folder created by me in the dawn of Xperia ownership, but the program was definitely installed when I got it.
I personally use WMWifiRouter, I'm guessing you're wanting to share a fixed Internet point from your laptop, rather than sharing your 3G access?
I want to access the internet from my laptop using my phone internet connection. I'm using the R3A stock ROM, definitely there is no internet sharing utility in this ROM...
I have a stock generic UK rom and definitely the internet sharing is found under start-programs and works both with the cable and with bluetooth with my toshiba laptop

Yes, Internet Sharing is definitely included in the generic ROMs, but perhaps your network operator didn't include it in its specific ROM.
Maybe it's just the program icon (and not the application itself) that was removed; in this case there should be an applacation named "IntShrUI" in your \Windows directory that you can run using File Explorer.

Can't install "widget" on my i8000

Hi everyone
I tried to download Samsung Widget through the Widget app that is located on the default widget bar of i8000, but when i click install it said something like "errors occur when applying/installing the widget".
Actually, I have flashed my rom once and it is now a non-English version WM6.5.
I8000HZUJC1(it's not a lite rom, it's an official rom but released by the service provider, they only added some apps related to their service)
I've searched for similar issues on the internet and seems that not many ppl are having this problem, so was wondering, does anyone here have any idea or solution for this?
Thanks very much!
-Jeff
is there no one having this problem..?
ok..I guess maybe I'm the only one who is still using Samsung's original UI (widget) ...
Suggestion
Did you use File manager or File Explorer when installing widgets?
For me, I'm using i8000 too but I cant install widgets through File Manager, instead i used File Explorer and it works....
You can try it out and let me know whether it works.

[dev] plugin flash with android 3.0

Hi there !
I was working on an android 2.2 tablet and moved to Iconia android 3.0 and encounter one issue when using flash plugin :
- I bought a custom development on freelancer: the app is very simple, it launches my all flash website in full screen. It was working perfectly on 2.2
- Now it does not work on 3.0 : I get a blank screen.
This is all the more strange as the default browser (Chrome) can launch my apps without any problem....
Since the developper is not answering my email anymore, I need to fix this by myself. Anybody would know why my apps would not use the flash plugin while the default browser does ?
edit : I installed dolphin HD and it is the same : it cannot use the flash plugin !! really strange. Hence my question : where is the link between browser and flash plugin set up ??
thanks for any hints, I don't know where to start ....
Up !
I fixed the issue with dolphin : just needed to enable all plugin !
I thought : the default browser of the Iconia tab is chrome, my app is using the android default browser, so the issue must be to enable flash plugin in default android browser... but I have no access to its settings !
does anybody know how to launch the default android browser ?
thanks in advance, I am dying on this one ...... any help much much appreciated !
