I found this at PPCGEEKS. Can someone be brave enough to install and let me know how it is different than 9.33?

I try and i tell you the news...
this is v9.5 build 405, it runs faster than v9.0 build 331 but smart-fit function is still for VGA only, hoping final version will support QVGA!

Can it be uninstalled?
no, but don't worry because when installing a new version, it will be uninstalled automatically!
Any notable speed performance??
any mirrors?

Tried it - still very slow on my Trinity WM6 compared to opera mini. Also I encountered many freezes of the ppc and had t soft reset.
Maybe it's not meant to be used on qvga screens at all.
Will still wait for the final release.
I downloaded it, but it wouldn't open on my Kaiser.
Faster - but doesnt zoom out all the way which is a bit of a pain.
Uninstall

Try typing "about:config" in the address field (without the quotes)
and you can customize maaaaaaaaaaaaany settings including screen
size with Adaptive Zoom Settings. So you optimze it for QVGA Portrait
or Landscape screen. You can also change Cache Location and much more!!

wow I didnt even know about that - Do you have any recommended settings for qvga. To me it seems like the fonts are perhaps wrong.
update...
Guys I posted a new CAB with uninstaller. Also posted qVGA version. Enjoy!
Autowrap
Guess there isn't any auto wrap of text or fitting to page like in mini?
To get this version set up properly type opera:config into the address bar. Then go to Adaptive Zoom hit default for everything except "Virtual Screen Width" put this to 960. This will set it to the same settings as 9.0 v.331. I'm still playing around with this setting to see if I can get QVGA screens to do the smart zoom to text like on OperaMini.

You you can change many settings there including Adaptive zoom, however that is only PART of the solution to getting Opera to properly fit to screen on a QVGA device.
These VGA optimized versions limit the paragraph width to VGA dimensions... not QVGA ones... It is possible to make some adjustments to the adaptive zoom settings to compensate for this.. but for many sites it is not enough. We need to be able to adjust the limit on the paragraph width... like it does in Opera Mini.
I know this could not be done in the config section of Opera Mobile 9.33 ....can it be done in 9.405? There is an option to turn the "limit paragraph width" on and off, but not to adjust the actual width.

you are wrong ... you just need to go to the context menu
I'm about to get rid of my smartphone just so I can use this program.

Can you please share your settings?
Surur
I usually use the zoom slider in Opera to adjust the zoom level slightly for a certain site such as this forum. As soon as I click a link the new page opens in maximum zoomed out mode however.
Is there some way that I can lock the zoom level so to say so that it will stay the same when I browse around on a certain site (or always)?
Good one, bump.
re
hi,
try to find solution in opera config mode. just open opera browser, type in address bar: opera:config
u will see config mode.
happy holidays
I know about opera config mode and have not found any setting there that can accomplish this. The only thing I can set from there is the "Minimum Overview Zoom" which will affect the default first zoom level for all pages I visit.
What I want to do is zoom in slightly using the zoom slider when on certain sites and then "lock" that zoom level while still on the same site. An ideal solution would be if you could have some configuration file where you could specify the "Minimum Overview Zoom" per domain you visit.
Very good would also be if Opera provided some kind of API for their browser. Then this and other similar issues would be easily fixed by the community.
Opera Mobile 10 is more slick, but a big problem I had with it was that unless Zoom was set to at least 140%, links / text in Portrait mode were too small to click on / read. The lack of adaptive zoom and zoom slider in Opera 10 didn't help either. Well not any more!
Either go into the Opera advanced settings page by typing in "opera:config" in the URL when Opera 10 is running and click on "Fonts" to change the font settings, or just stick the following lines into the "Opera.ini" file inside <Opera 10 Installed Location>\PROFILE\ directory:
Code:
[Fonts]
Form.Button=25,3,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
Form.Input=25,3,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
Form.Text=24,3,0,0,0,0,Courier New
H1=40,5,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
H2=34,5,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
H3=30,5,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
H4=26,5,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
H5=22,5,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
H6=20,5,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
Normal=25,3,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
PRE=23,3,0,0,0,0,Courier New
The 1st number in each line represents the actual font size. Adjust to your liking. The font sizes above let me navigate most websites with Default Zoom @ 100% and the text is very readable.
Note that some webpages will look more misaligned due to the larger fonts, but now at least you won't need to have zoom at 200% to be able to read the text
This probably also works for Opera 9.7 and below, but the issue isn't as important since these versions have a more useful zoom slider and proper font-size adjustment in the Settings menu whereas Opera 10 buries it in the opera:config page.
Hope this helps some of you out there.
Have you also tried to size the browser window to fit on the screen from the "opera:config"? I mean, I tried to set the default zoom to 100% instead of (I believe) 175% as is the default. Looking at a webpage I like to see it all, and THEN I decide what to zoom in on.
I read another post where the guy managed to set the zoom to 100%, I just didn't have any luck doing that on my phone! Maybe I made a mistake, don't know...
Wonder if there might be another place to type in how wide you want to see the pages in default mode...
regards Helle
Thanks for this info
I noticed that no matter how far you try to zoom out, you can not see the entire webpage of certain sites.
Is there a reason behind this? And if so, is there a fix? Not a lot of ppl are talking about this issue.
I was really bothered by that, till last night when I managed to fix it while snooping around the registry
Lower Default Zoom (Really takes advantage of the HD2 beautiful screen)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom]
Default Zoom=100 (or lower value... play with it)
Hope it helps
humm weird. i still wont. webpages remain zoomed in on first entry. such as notebookreview.com. even after changing it to 100, the webpage does not fully show 100% but rather zoomed in.
** UPDATE:
changing the default zoom did not work, but right under that key was VIRTUAL screen (default 800). I changed it to 1000 and wahlah! it worked !
I now see webpages in full scale and no longer zoomed in.
This is great and should definitely appear in BsB tweak, I like it!
Hmmmmm weird, worked for me ... anyway, glad you got it sorted out. It shouldcome like that as standard really

You can find this setting in about:config -> Adaptive Zoom -> Virtual Screen Width
And if you guys are interested, here are a couple other reg settings I liked:
Increase Scrolling FPS
I changed the following key to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Info]
PanFps=50
Increase Zooming FPS
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Info]
ZoomFps=50
These two above make a world of difference in smoothness of both scrolling and zooming on my device. Do not enter a value higher than 50 or it will not take effect (at least it did not on my HD2)
Enjoy
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
In my Kaiser, i could manage this by pressing and holding the bars to move the screen. In Leo this was impossible, so some sites were just useless to me.

Exactly. With "Virtual Screen Width" set to 1000 or even more, you will be able to always see the entire website.
does anyone kno9w why in certain versions of opera, when you open Google search engine, you cannot see the 'Show Options' button? (at the top -- when you click on this it allows you to hit "latest" so you get real time tweets and so on).
When you change zoom settings in Opera 10 and exit the menu notice how it zooms in/out smoothly after changing it to the new setting? Seems like the zoom factor is controlled by a value in the memory of the program. Wouldn't it be possible to change the value present in memory by using multi touch to write a new value?
not sure if this will work for opera but it's definitely a start >http://www.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/zooomer-enables-pinch-to-zoom-for-htc-hd2/ I have seen pinch to zoom somewhere else but I can recall at the moment. If I remember, I will post here again. Good luck.
just download bsb tweaks in the omakret
You can use BSB Tweaks or Zoomer to get pinch and zoom. While its not an ideal pinch and zoom it works.
