basically, i have been playing around with my opera to try and update it so i can view flash based content on websites within the browser.
ive managed to get this to work so now i can see youtube on the actual website! and also videos/sound files on the bbc website and other flash based websites.
i upgraded to opera 2808 and installed flashplayer7 for ppc from adobe and made a plugin file with a flash plugin in that too.
now my opera does work but i need to go into the opera file in explorer and click on the operaL file. it wont work if i go to the internet tab or to the programs list and choose it from there. the logo has dissappeared. i have the original orange ROM and havent had a windows movile before so have no idea how to change anything like the logos or to reset the programs buttons. if anyone can help i will happily buy you a beer!

HELLLLPPPP!!! I have been in and out of my TMobile MDA trying to get flash player to work...I've tried downloading the flashplayer 7 cab file...and it won't dowload...just a bunch of symbols pops up on my pda screen. What to do? :shock: There has got to be SOMEONE out there that can save the day....
I'm gonna assume you're trying to download the cab from your MDA. I had the same problem. Download the cab to your pc and run the file after syncing your phone.
thnx for replying...it did finally dowload to my MDA via ActiveSync...but when I go to certain sites that require flash player (like vh1.com), then it still says that I need to download flashplayer (even though I have it on my phone)....So, i dunno' whats going on !!
double checked what the site actually says....It says "flash PlugIn required"
Give Opera a try. With it, when you open a cab file on the internet you can choose to save a page, and rename it as something.cab.
Now I've tried to load vh1.com in opera on my Wizard and I also got note on missing Flash plugin. When I clicked to get it, I was taken to a OSX (PowerPC) page
Also, installing Pocket Plus adds a new submenu to PIE..Save As..which can help you override the problem you had downloading .cab files from your Wiz.
yeah...i got directed to the same download site....download mac osX :? .....when you find out a way to get all the good stuff playing on your wiz...can u let us know?
enjoy folks

I can copy 2 of the files, but I can't overwrite or delete the original Opera 9.exe in the Windows folder. I've tried using Total Commader and ActiveSync file manager - and neither lets me delete or overwrite the old Opera 9 file. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Petrov.
according to the article, the performance is poor and the keyboard keeps popping up everytime you locate flash content on a page. Could be tricky for some to install and then it has to be re-installed everytime the phone is reset.
who needs the hassle ?
okay i tried it and it doesnt work really well. but i forgot to do a backup. can anyone give me a link for the original touch hd opera build which works fine?
thanks a lot
It works but very slow so you cannnot really use it. Finally my Opera crashes with the message "A problem has occured with Opera9.exe. Please tell Microsoft ..." I had to do a soft reset once ...

All I did when I tried a beta was remove the new install with "remove programmes" via the start button and the default browser reappeared.
I installed the Flash Player and, even though I couldn't copy the new Opera 9.exe across (I did copy the other two files across successfully), Opera now plays the Youtube video through Opera. However, the video is a slide show even once it's fully loaded - so it's not really usable.
This may be because I couldn't copy the new Opera 9.exe across to the /windows folder...

Hello,
My WWE 1.39.405.2 ROM contains Opera 9.5 Build 16277. The browser works fine, yet it has issues with Flash (as discussed in other threads in this forum). I have discovered that my device actually DOES support Flash, since when I use IE it displays Flash pages correctly. The current version of Opera simply can't go along with it...
By doing some research, I read that the new Opera 9.7 does support Flash. I installed the new version, and found that out indeed it does support it. However, the problem is not only that the previous version of Opera is still in the device (since it is stored in the ROM), but also that it is the default browser. In other words, when e.g. I use the internet tab in Manila, the version 9.5 fires up.
Is there a way to have the 9.7 version installed and make it the default browser? I know that I can't get rid of the old 9.5 version (unless I change my ROM, of course), but I could compromise by having it dormant in my device, and having version 9.7 being the active browser in all instances.
*Bump*
Is there any way to make this happen? Be it to make the new opera the default browser or any other, so I don't have to go to the programs and open it from there.

I would also like to know if this is possible!
Anybody have an answer?
It has been solved! Flash CAN be made to work with the current version of Opera! Check here:

tf3d launches opera9.exe as default browser. I tried to change it through the registry but without avail. You have to place new opera9-ml.exe to windows directory, rename it to opera9.exe and overwrite original file. Attributes for that file are " read only " , " system " and " in ROM " and in my topaz it is not possible because of that. Perhaps somebody will discover solution

Yep, that worked for me (9.5 1938)
I would still like to know if it's possible to make 9.7beta my default browser though.
partial solution
I've changed a little original opera9.7b1 cab and it works as default browser in tf3d now.
But can't solve two things:
1- opera starts after soft reset or turning on with error message but then works properly
2- zoom bar works as scroll bar in new opera
if someone want to try it
install cab from link below
edit : don't change registry value my zoom bar doesn't work now in stock opera
make soft reset
after uninstallation you will have old opera, here is new opera
Hi.
I have a problem with my Email application: when I click different links in my emails it won't access them, for example if I have an Ebay link to an auction on my email, if I click on it, it won't open a new page in my web browser, it just marks the link in a sort of a square and won't do anything. Maybe it is because I removed the default Opera 9.7 and installed Opera 10 Beta.
Now, in the Internet tab, when I click on Opera, I get this error: The file OperaL cannot be opened.... , and I get this error because I have uninstalled Opera 9.7 . I selected Internet Explorer as my default web browser and the links in my emails still don't work.
I admit I haven't tried to access the links when I had Opera 9.7 installed. I'm not sure witch ROM version I have because it wasn't me who flashed it, but I know it is WM 6.5. When I open Device Info it says that my OS version is 5.2.28008 ( 28008.5.3.0), Manila version 2.1.19202517.0 and ROM version 02.Dec.2009 WWE.
The friend I bought it from said that this is the ROM version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524032 . Also, I would really appreciate it if you could help me removing the Opera shortcut from the Internet tab, or make it point to Opera 10 Beta, and not the uninstalled Opera 9.7.
Thank you in advance!!!
Hehe. I got it. I restored the old Opera 9.7 ( I found the .cab in the windows folder) and now my links work and I don't get that error any more.
Hello All,
I've tried searching numerous places and have not been able to find a definitive answer as to if the newest version of Opera10 can be set at the TF3D tab default browser. I found a thread that suggested copying the opera10 files to the WINDOWS folder and renaming an oper file in the manilla folder, but that didn't work for me... or I didn't follow the instructions correctly.
I guess I should start by asking, can it be done? And if so, is there anyone out there that could possibley explain how to do it, or better yet .cab it up, so that a person such as myself doesn't mess anything up.
Thank you in advance for any responses or help with this. This forum/community is absolutely great!
Thanks,
DeMo
yes some version out that have been adapted to make it default or there is a reg hack to make it so ill try to find it
right i think this is it but to be honset not 100% so if some one can confirm
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER
"0"=Opera Browser
"1"="\Program Files\Opera Mobile 10\Opera10-armv4i.exe"
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\Shell\Open\Command\Default
"\Program Files\Opera Mobile 10\Opera10-armv4i.exe" %1
edit this was to change it from IE in a rom i was using not sure if its the same if it has opera9 as the default already

Thanks guys! I appreciate the responses. I'll go check the Opera thread mentioned above and try posting there.
I am trying to get Opera 10 to launch from the TF3D Internet tab when you push "Launch Browser", instead of it launching Opera 9.x.
I've found information about editing an xml file, but that seems to be a solution for the T-Mobile TP2. I have a Sprint TP2 w/stock rom (I failed to mention that earlier).
Anyhow, thanks again. I will continue my search.

I just downloaded Opera 10 Beta from Opera's website last night and installed it on my Tilt2, stock AT&T ROM. During the installation, it asked me if I wanted to make it the default browser. I clicked yes. Now it is used when I click the TF3D browser button.

Yes, but if you cook it in, it doesn't set as default browser, unless you install the reg tweak...

Okay. I'm still a noob at most of this, cooking ROMs is way over my head.
I found that if you go into the settings in whichever browser you are in (I've done it with Skyfire as well) you can select it to be your default browser and it will open with the TF3D link. Hope this helps!
Opera_Mobile_10_WM_beta_3_2.cab Does not have a setting/option to set is as tha default.. i aswell im dying to get this working as i hate opera 9.7
and not that i want skyfire but i just tryed setting it as default browser and still opera 9.7 open when i click tha globe or the browser softkey on tha internet tab...
Me & tha wife would really like an easy solution for this aswell
Thanks
Well opera 10 gave me tha option to set it as tha default browser wen newly installed but it did not open via internet tab..
What i did was delete all tha opera crap from my windows folder, then took contents of tha out of tha "Opera Mobile 10" folder i had installed on internal storage/memory card Renamed tha .exe file to OperaL.exe and pasted it in my windows folder, it works fine.. but uses like 10MB more memory then the default opera...
Now if i could get a copy of the internet explorer exe that i could rename and paste, in place of opera 10 that may be better as opera10 takes alot of space (on tha diamond i can't aford it) and i cannt copy tha IE exe - my device says i cannot edit ROM files ?
