To have more tabs, enter Opera:config into the address, then go to the User Pref section, look for the item called "Maximum Allowed Tabs" and change it to what you want.
Cheers.

Sorry, I'm not aware of how to do it. I like Opera's way much more though.

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.

How do i reinstate Opera as default browser after installing/uninstalling Skyfire

Can't find an answer to this using search so forgive me if i missed it.
Pretty much as the title states, i was intrigued with the prospect of skyfire so i gave it a go, doing so pushes internet explorer to the default browser (hateful program!!).
I just need to get opera as the default browser again.
Any help grateful.

in operas setting there is one which makes it set as default browser, (but i cant see it on mine??? ,might be cos i upgraded to the flash version on here????)
open opera, go to settings have a look around, i couldnt see it either....
although you can try this...
:extra:
go to opera and then go to this page opera:config
you will find alot of extra settings here to change things about
there must be a registry setting for which is default browser might be as simple as what open ".html" files

Use a registry edit
I have had to do this a couple of times now through playing with alternative broswers. I read elsewhere that if you type opera:config into the address bar in opera, you can bring up all the preferences. Apparently checking 'Browser First Time Launch' in the 'Install' section is supposed to reinstate Opera as the default browser, but it didn't work for me.
I have found the easiest way is simply to use a reg fix by using a registry editor (I have been using EveryWan which also allows you to remote control your Touch HD as well as many other useful tools: http://www.sparus-software.com/Device-Management/Products/EveryWAN-Remote-Support,43/THE-ULTIMATE-TOOL-FOR-HOTLINERS.html).
Edit the registry as follows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER
"0"=Opera Browser
"1"="\Windows\OperaL.exe\"
After this everything should be hunkydory
Regards,
Guy

Will give this ago, maybe this should go wiki? if it's not already.
The possibiltys that skyfire/other new browsers may tempt to install but lose the default functionality of opera, which in my mind is superb on the HD.
Thanks Chaps

Hey. thanks for all the suggestions. I did change the registry values, according to the instructions above, I did tick the install option in Opera config, and still I get IE opening when I click on a link in RSS Feed. Anyone has another idea?
Thanks!

This is relevant to my interests. I really dislike IE opening my rss feeds as well.

I also have this problem.
It happened after installing and unistalling skyfire.
Every time I click in a link (for example in the email) it opens in the IE.

Since I wrote the post above I have discovered that using the internal Opera method is the best because not only does it reinstate Opera as the default for opening links from e-mails, but it also resets the default program for RSS reader which was driving me nuts.
I did mention this briefly previously, but simply load up Opera and then type opera:config in the address bar. This will bring up all the settings. Now find the 'Install' section and expand the section by tapping the word 'Install'. Now check the 'Browser First Time Launch' box and then tap 'Save'. It will come up with some nonsense about running a javascript command, but just select okay and then quit out the browser and re-start.
I found the above method reset Opera as my default for all apps, so hope it works.
Good luck,
G

Sure this works. Any way to reverse the setting ? i.e. not to make Opera the default browser anymore...

Gisbourne,
Could you help-out on how to set my Opera as default?. I tried your suggestion on Post # 3 & 11. But it did not did the trick. I tried also the following suggestion:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila2D\InternetWidget\
"OperaEXEFile"=<Path to Opera>
"WebBrowserType"=dword:00000001
I can't input the characters "dword:00000001" on WebBrowserType, coz I got only three (3) choices either Binary, Decimal or Hexadecimal. Tried to put the characters, but my home screen (M2D) keeps on reseting when I go to the widgets.
Maybe you still have something under your sleeve to help me out . Thanks in advance.

Hkeyclassesroot/http/shell/command, edit the file in command with the the address of the .exe of yhe browser you want to use. This is for RSS feeds.

Value data="\Windows\OperaL.exe"%1
I replaced the data to "\Windows\Opera9.exe"
Well it did not reset to home screen but when i clicked the IE browser opens.

Search for JZSmartMort, its a cab file. This will give you the option to select your default browser.
I will help you more with links and such, the problem is that im browsing on my HD.
Restore the reg data you edited in the http/command folder.

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

ROM: Original Shipped Rom (M2D 3.10)
Default Opera: 9.5 Build (2392)
Anyhoo thanks to both of yous

[Q] Automatically diverted to mobile site?

I have been logging to Facebook thru the main site. But lately Facebook keeps diverting me to mobile site. I read somewhere that they use some web application using php to detect if we are using PC or mobile device.
I was so proud to use HD2 because of the big screen and able to log in to main sites , now the privilege is gone. Anyone can offer any help?

I have been having similar problems with this. thought it was to do with browser type and it storing cookies or something. As I can surf on the full version of site for a while then suddenly it will divert me again to mobile version. Super annoying

you'll need to change the 'custom user agent' in the opera:config page to something like I have:
Opera/9.99 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) Presto/9.99

hmm, I just have a user agent in my oper:config which is currently set to 1. Typed in what you had but it doesn't seem to save

I am so sorry for being a novice and 'idiot' here .... how do you change the 'custom user agent'? I know it must be frustrating to explain but I really appreciate your help

Hey, try typing
"opera:config" in the address box of your opera mobile browser...
Then scroll to "User Prefs" and you should find "Custon User Agent" inside.. =)

I tried the opera:config switch, but it didn't work (maybe because I'm using Opera 10). I've just settled on using Opera when it works, and switching to Skyfire when it doesn't.

Not sure if you guys have found an answer to this, but for me, the following works.
In opera go to "opera:config"
Scroll down to "User prefs" and open this
Scroll down to "UAProf URL Enabled" and uncheck this (remove the tick)
scroll to bottom and hit save
Restart opera, and that should do it.

gotya. on mine it was very near the bottom of the list however i am not using opera 10 so cannot confirm to you 100% that the option exists in opera 10, sorry.

Hi,
excuse me for the bad english, I am an italian user....
I use Opera 10 and it happened also to me, with italian main web site.
It happen no more by this way: when Opera redirect you on Facebook mobile site, tap on "exit", then open official Facebook web site and save the page. Remember to disable "Opera Turbo" in Opera settings.
I hope it could be useful.....

Yeah, I was able to edit and save the new user agent text, but it still redirected me to the mobile site. It's been working fine for a few days, but the next time it doesn't, I'll try the Uaprof tweak.
