Opera Mobile 9.0.33 QVGA from SD card

Here is a lil something that i created today
It is the beta version of Opera 9 which is configured mostly to run from the SD card. The SD card should be named "Storage Card" in order to work correctly, because the cab paths are hardcoded to use that name. I have UPX-ed Opera9.exe from 6 to 2 MB so it take less space.
Download Here

thank you xplode
have you managed to change your broken ba screen?

I have a good screen with a bad ribbon cable...if you have the tecnology to put your ridbow cable in my screen.. I offer it to you Xplod

I had the same problem, i have perfectly working screen with some cracked tracks on the cable. I ordered new screen and now have it, and it works

Opera Mobile is full and independent browser whereas Opera Mini works through Opera Server to deliver the content. As per my experience Opera Brosers are the best available today.

Beta is free always

New Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta and T9 Keyboard

My addition to this community.
Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta just released today. Almost like a real browser, only thing missing is Flash still. This is not the Opera mini.
http://www.mediafire.com/?teydzy2ztjj
HTC Atom Phonepad with T9, a virtual on screen keyboard that looks like a phone pad with T9. You can type with your finger with the bigger buttons. Very very nice. I forget what these are called but if someone can reply with HTC Atom Phonepad with T9 and the name for these virtual keyboards so this can be found in searches.
http://www.mediafire.com/?pmxougeonmm
Let me know what you think!

anyone try this out on their wing yet? it is a beta..

Opera Mobile
9.5's been out for a while. It works well on the wing, blows PIE away on large pages, almost as fast as mini. But it installs to your \Windows folder and will not work off the storage card. It doesn't allow predictive text, it takes up about 6Mb of device memory, and 9Mb of ram. It's a good browser if you can spare the system resources.
Thanks for the phone pad, I'm trying it now.

I just wanted to give back to the community.
This is a new beta, beta 1 or something like that released today.

maybe this new beta of opera mobile is different, but i was able to install it to my sd card and it only took an extra 2mb from my storage.

Newer 9.51
This is 9.51b1 I had 9.5b1004. I'll load it up and test it out. Thanks for the update!

Do you know how we can set it up so that the Cache files etc are all on the SD Card too?

I installed it (I have t-mobile rom) on my sd card, and on the phone... the only issue I've run into so far is out of memory errors.
I've run the 6mb mem pool size mod and font/file cache mods on my phone and have resco mod and batterystatus mod w/vista theme.
any ideas?

Anybody knows how you can enable Active X,To view sites correctly Flash? their website says that it is disabled.

I don't think any mobile browser supports flash yet..

I don't know if this is ActiveX or a windows media plugin, but if you have a newer HTC device with Opera preinstalled (such as touch pro) and visit pages with a WMP embedded in them, it WORKS! However the one thing I can't figure out is how they did it because a stock Opera mobile beta does not work with WMP embedded at all on my Treo 700wx

thanks for the writeup
what about tomtom 7, do i need a special WVGA version or is it just normal TomTom 7 ?

This is the version of tomtom I got TT Nav 7.450.9028 QVGA Black

Wait, you use your Xperia as the Webcam or you use the Xperia to view the webcam? I'm confused, can you explain the setup?

He has a webcam at home and watches it from the road with his x1.

you can use it as both ... but I use it to view my home webcam with orb

I really like it and you can use wm skins, of which there are some corkers. The reason I used it on my old athena though was that I could get all the buttons of the HTC remote working with it.
as the remote doesn't fit the x1 and tf3d works so well I haven't bothered with it.
Sound is fine from it, there's quite a lot of equalizer and boost options.

Is there an app that would allow me to syncronize files? For example I would create a folder on my computer and assigned it o sync with my WM phone, so older files (same file, different date) would get deleted either on my phone or computer and the new ones loaded. The point of doing this is, that I would have to drag my computer everywhere with me. X1 would suffice for small editing of office files and such. I know any serious work would still have to be done on my computer.

opera mini: question

I would to try opera mini, but on the official site I can't understand wich version is the best for the HD:
http://www.operamini.com/download/pc/htc/

Dude the HD comes with Opera installed? I believe you can upgrade the version 2682 that comes installed to version 2745. check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442252
Is Opera mini somehow better or different to Opera Mobile???

Just installed opera mini on my blackstone.
and it works like a dream.
its runs so much faster than the full version its almost unbelievable! the text might be a bit on the small side, but the pointer comes in handy for all that.
just doing some tests on the the independant website. downloaded, rendered and displayed in about 7 seconds. compare that against the full opera where your looking at about 20 seconds for the whole front page to display.
the mini version also offers proper double clicks for links and none of this zooming in and out by accident malarky.
get onto it. you won't regret it.
for the record installed the PPC600 Mogul version and everything looks great.

IIRC opera mini pre renders everything through their servers?

which versione doo you use? could you link me pls?
I think that is faster that normal opera and more suitable for gprs and 3g navigation than normal opera, isn't it?

in blackstone should be preinstalled opera not opera mini
yes, I'm sure. for me the mini version is far superior than it's big brother (Full RRS support for starters - yes i know the blackstone has the RSS hub, but this isn't linked to full opera browser - so not much use really).
there will be some sites that work better on the full version, but as far as my testing today has gone, all of the sites i used look and perform better in the mini version.

matthoy said:
yep.
and it looks great on the touch;s big screen.
i used it a lot on my e650 (suffered from a lot of image duplication when wrapping the page to the screen) but not on the touch, it's great!

stick them in a temp folder.
then run the java app. install --> local files.

Opera mini is great if you have slow connection(GPRS only), it is very fast, much faster browser than opera mobile. BTW original opera mobile freezes very often on my HD.

thx
I woult to know one thing:
why this versione htc_ppc6800_mogul is the best for blackstone?
do you think will be released a dedicated version of opera mini for blasktone?

Mini Is Mini!!
to me..mini isnt worth it. TOO SMALL, not that much faster either. I cant find a zoom either.
After regular Opera, need jewelers loupes to read it.
Have to use stylus....blah blah...no way

Hell
I like the MINI - very fast
BUT
Does anybody know a trick to make the Font bigger ?
The menu is so small - even with the settings set to biggest Font
Thank you for help

Now why doesn't Opera Mobile have a function to zoom out to a total overview like mini does. I'm sick of spending 5 minutes scrolling down a long page with all the annoying f***** lockups!!

There is one version of opera mini only. The only small differnce on some versions is that some versions are signed for differend java runtimes. That means you dont have to grant internet and storage access all the time. but the browser itself is allways the same - i even use i on a very low end mobile motorola L6...
There wont be dedicated blackstone version, but maybe they will increase the fontsize with comin up more and more VGA and WVGA devices

From what I know, the opera mini goes through operas server which compresses the web sites and reduces the gprs cost very much compared to the full opera!

I can't find in opera mini how to enable the zoom button...is it there?

Opera mini - full screen?
Hi!
One question concerning opera mini - does it run in full screen on the touch hd?
On my htc X7500 there are the operating system bars above and under the java runtime so opera mini cannnot use all the display and run in full screen mode
Could someone please post a photo of the HD running opera mini with a web site like cnn.com loaded?
thanks!

DivX mobile player has useless interface

Is anyone else capable of using the DivX player interface in HD2 properly?
In particular, the size of the menu which is located at the very bottom of the screen is very small and almost impossible to select the correct option from the sub-menus.
Is there a version for HD2 resolution?

I don't have a problem with this. I'm having a problem with the audio/video getting out of sync in a progressive rate.

I just tried it and it works fine, but it's such an ugly application anyway that I immediately uninstalled it once I'd verified that pinch-to-zoom works.
Until they come out with a finger-friendly version, I don't really see the point. Is there a reason you particularly want to use DivX mobile over CorePlayer?

I was curious to use DivX Player as I used it before on a Sony Ericsson P1i (UIQ3). I just wanted to check whether the windows version is better.
As far as Core Player I was using it on my previous phone TG01 but it had a stylus so it was easy to use the menu. I know it's one of the best players, but the interface is not very finger friendly (e.g. the playlists with tiny buttons).
For music I use Nitrogen which has much better interface.
One of the reasons I bought HD2 was the capacitive screen and the lack of stylus. I don't like using stylus as I prefer the finger. I hope windows 7 mobile will be fully finger friendly.
I hate watching people who use the iPhone only with fingers while I have to follow a button targeting procedure in order to press a button.
1. Locate Target
2. Try pressing it with your index finger.
3. If it fails, calculate the center of the index finger nail to touch the very center of the button
4. If it fails, ask a baby to press the button.
5. If it fails again, abort the task.
