Opera Mobile 9.405

I found this at PPCGEEKS. Can someone be brave enough to install and let me know how it is different than 9.33?
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=19533

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??

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
Guys...try this thread.

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.

Cube Clone - FTouchSL with SCLPC++

I have been experimenting with different cubes and at the moment my money is on FTouchSL (formerly FTouchFlo) with SCLPC++. Big thanks to the developer of FTouchSL (this is now a commercial program) and Slither2006
Please see FTouchSL and SCLPC++ threads for more info.
After quite alot of head scratching and tweaking of default settings it all works very well indeed. The TouchFlo within my current ROM is simply disabled within the FTouchSL config so doesn't conflict.
I can go into more of the detail with particular settings if others are having problems.

Does your touch keyboard lag when usign touchflosl? It lagged pretty bad for me when i had FTouchFlo installed.. so had to remove it. (e.g. letters didnt highlight when pressed on touch keyboard, etc)

Yes, I have.
I have installed SCLPC++ Cube and it works fine launching it from the installation directory.
Then I've installed FTouchSl (for the moment in trial mode)
but I'm not able to find the exact settings.
Also it seems that some conflict with ROM touchflow is present.
Since you were successful, I'll try again.

Now the SCPLC++ cube is starting well but together to the original one.
How could I disable the original cube ?

Actually I hadn't noticed what happens as I tend to use the touch keyboard with a finger and not the stylus... anyway my keyboard works fine with no perceptable lag and the correct colour change.

I have registered my FTouchSL but I know some of the settings are disabled in the Trial version. The main FTouchSL settings I have include:
Timeout = 500ms
Scrolling - disable with TouchFlo
Gesture timeout = 300ms
Launch zone dimensions: Left=45, Right=40, Top=80, Bottom=100
Up-Down gesture = Launch application: SCLPC++
Active corner delay = 500ms
Exceptions: SCPPC++ (scrolling, gestures and active corners disabled)

With the ROM I am using (see signature) there is a utility in Settings called ROM Settings. One of the Tabs on this is for HTC TouchFLo and I have unchecked Scroll and Cube here.

Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunatly no such setting is available in the original rom and the original cube is still alive.

Here is the registry change to disable the cube:
HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings change EnableCube from 1 in 0
Now the SCPPC++ cube works well. But moving the finger from up to down, the cube disappears, but it still remains in background.
Is the same for you ?

Great you found the registry settings, I started looking too but hadn't found it. There is one near it for disabling TouchFlo scrolling aswell.
Your other point... yes the cube does stay open in the background so it appears rather than fading up from the bottom when you first bring it up. I wonder if this is by design? I'll post this query in the SCLPC++ forum.

I had this same issue. Just add the SCLPC++ exe to the exclusion list in TFlow configurator it will solve the issue. No need to edit the reg

PIE as default browser and on TF3D Internet tab

I hate to admit it, prolly a terrible character flaw... but I can't learn to love Opera!
Anyone know which manilla file to edit to get IE launching from the TF3D Internet tab? (with PIE favourites/bookmarks too preferably)
I have already made PIE the default browser, but this doesn't affect the TF3D tab.
(I used Darkness's Fix IE.cab)

I had the same problem : I prefer NetFront than Opera and i used :

Elodie--done that -- it worked for changing the browser in TF3D. Any body have a clue how to change the default on the hardware keyboard key to open PIE instead of Opera? It is the FN setting on the key that would normally open the symbol screen.

[APP][15/02/2009] iContact (supbro and truburt versions) with sensors

Recently, I've been playing around with the Diamond sensor APIs seeing how things work, and thinking of ways to apply them to apps.
As you may well know, iContact has very long lists in it, which can be a tad tedious to scroll through if you have loads of contacts, so I've added support for both the touch "wheel", and the gsensor.
This is based on iContact 0.91
To use:
You can scroll with the wheel like iPods click wheels. Clockwise goes down the list, counterclockwise goes up the list.
You can scroll with the gsensor by tapping the centre button and then tilting the device up or down to scroll up or down the list. Releasing the centre button will stop the scrolling.
Currently, landscape (probably) won't work with the gsensor.
Thanks to supbro, truburt and larna for iContact, and Scott Seligman for how to use the sensors.
Since iContact is GPL, you can grab the source code as well as a cab below!
Changes:
iContact BE now supported as well!
0.91.1 - An updated scrolling mechanism to make a steeper tilt move faster.

New version with better scrolling now available.

how i install it ?

Download the 0.91.1 cab file, copy it to your device, and then run it from file explorer.

would you be willing to consider it for truburt's edition?

If I can get the source, it shouldn't be too hard.

Quick Q:
Can i just install the iContact.Sensors cab and keep my current iContact version but adding gsensor capability to it?
Thanks very much.

No. This uninstalls the previous one, and then installs the new one.

I will test it right now

Thank you, will test it right away!
Looks promising

I tried it, but it makes scrolling in iContacts imho very nervous. Re-installed original iContacts ....

Is the normal scrolling (i.e. finger scrolling) affected? It shouldn't be as I haven't touched the code for that!

If I understand the first post correctly I simply have to place my thumb on the center sensor(not depress) and tilt and the scrolling should begin?
If that is correct can you expand that capability into any windows application?
Maybe incorporating something along with Gcontroller here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429569

That is correct. I think creating a system wide service may prove more difficult, as in iContact, all it does is simulate a key down event with VK_DOWN or VK_UP. This may not be quite what's wanted depending on the application.
I've been looking at ways of expanding butler, and so far I've built in screen rotation, launching applications for every event and one or two other tricks, but system scrolling could be another one to add.

hi,
if you want scroll in iContact do this:
Create a key and value, as below
HKLM/Software/HTC/SmartTouch/iContact
(String Value) ClassName = iContact
(DWORD Value) Mode = 4
(DWORD Value) WheelCount = 2
easy to create, work fine for me....

have fun

That works with the scroll wheel, but not with the gsensor. And, since I needed some of the scroll wheel things to be able to have the gsensor working well, I decided I may as well integrate both functions.

hi,
yes you're right, it work only with the wheel....
It's a ery simple solution to scroll with wheel in many soft, i use Burt icontact insted icontact 0.9 so your solution do not work for me, my solution is not perfect but for people whose just want wheel scroll it's perect and easy and it works on every soft if you have the name of the soft's CLASS.
But your solution is cool for people who use iContact 0.9.
congratulation
V.

brilliant idea, like the way you have done it.
You have managed to improve a already great program!
thanks very much

Is it possible without the touching the center?

Tilt 2 Zoom Slider

The Zoom Slider works for Internet, Acrobat , Photos, etc. There are a few other programs that need the Zoom like Remote Desktop. Remote Desktop on the origional Tilt had built in zoom and on 6.5 MS dropped the ball. Anyone know of a tweak to make the Zoom Slider work for all programs? Why should we let those IPhone users show us up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Barry
By the way, I really love the Tilt 2 and don't miss my origional Tilt.

Zoom on remote desktop mobile
I also would like the ability to zoom while in remote desktop sessions using my Tilt2
Seems like it shouldn't be a big deal to enable it.
Thanks

There's a cab that has Zoom Bar settings for a number of apps (it's just a collection of registry settings): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578420 -- some people have reported difficulties with this cab, so also have a look at my posting in the same thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4892668&postcount=22, which allows you to do it for a single app. (I also have a Tilt2, and am using the stock ROM).

the aforementioned link to the zzomadds app is a great app and I've heard it plays quite fine with the stock rom but for those of us who have flashed, it seems to have an issue and doesn't work. I run energy ROMs and the cab doesn't work with the energy so d/l it and try it and if it doesn't work, oh well...

What is a remote desktop and how do you do it?

Scroll or Zoom?
Just to be clear, does this app allow just scrolling in other programs with the zoom bar, or actual zooming in other programs?
If it only scrolls, does anyone know how we can enable zooming specifically in other programs?
Thanks,
Michael

Each app takes the zoombar differently.
For example,
Messaging - Text gets bigger/smaller
Internet Explorer - Zooming
Google Maps - Zooming
Contacts - Scrolling
Office - Zooming
Just depends on the app. There isn't a way (yet) to differentiate the two

Remote desktop zoom, screen orientation, missing keys on keyboard
Thanks for the reply, I tried the above suggestion (downloading the cab). It works with this like email, but nothing for remote desktop.
I do a ton of remote desktop to manage our data center and the ability to zoom would be great.
I also would like the ability to switch to landscape mode without having to pull out the keyboard (while working in remote desktop). Does any one know how to do this???
Finally, the ESC and backslash \ keys is missing on the keyboard. These are common keys I need. I have an AT&T Tilt2 that has the slide out keyboard.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks a lot....

I have the solution for Landscape mode. That was a big issue for me, next to the need to zoom on Remote Desktop. Download an application called change screen and any time you turn the Tilt2 to landscape, no matter what application, it will change the screen. It also allows for an exception list which is nice for things like the phone application. It is free and listed under the cab file applications in this section. Works great
