Zooming in/out (opera) - HD2 General

Is there a way to increase the zoom rate when pinching in Opera? I usually have to pinch up to three times to zoom in enough on, for example, a link...

'Double click' to zoom in will give you enough space to click on a link.

I guess, but I'd still like to increase the degree of zooming when pinching. That's why I asked how to increase it and not if there were other ways to zoom in. But thanks anyway.

There is a reg tweak to allow you to click on links in non-zoom, that may help? Its in the sticky at the top of the page.

Thanks both of you. I did know about that particular tweak, though I probably should have been more clear regarding my problem. Zooming in on a link was merely an example. When zooming in, I generally like pinch zooming better than double tapping; it is more precise and you yourself can choose the degree of zooming. However, I'd like to able to get the zooming just right with only one pinch instead of multiple.
I'd like it to be more like, forgive me for this, the iphone, but only regarding safari mind you!

Isn't there anyone who can help with this one?

Sneak bump. Perhaps someone could speculate whether it would even be possible or not?

*bump* again.

Big bump!
This is something that I'd REALLY like to change too!

bump bump bump

Like an iphone???
So you would like to have no choice in how your browser behaves?
Or you would like the choice to change it to similar to Safari?
Luckily in WM you have countless possibilities.

We don't want a ****ty iPhone.
All we want is faster zooming.
Yes, there IS countless possibilities, thanks to WM. But HOW do we increase the zoom rate when pinch zooming?

yep, that would be a nice tweak ...

biiiiiiiig bump

I guess there should be some configuration. Have you tried set Zoom config in opera:config?

I can't find anything.
I can set the zoom rate for HTC Album and other stuff, but not for Opera.

May I ask this again? Has anyone found anything in the meantime?

Idea for iphone stsyle of iPhoto

We can scroll through your photo list by sliding your finger along the picture by full screen. If anyone can make it. It's so great.
I see "icontact" & iMedia Player" is the great job of PPC. We have enough experience to do it. I think the "iPhoto" is not the problem.
Hope it will some soon.

It may so hard for PPC because PPC can't make 2 fingers actions at the same time

no need for 2 finger actions. you'll do them separate... bottom up change pic, sideways zoom in...

Hey Guys, Byka is working on a PictureViewer.

Not sure if it will works with other PPC's but I really like it.
I started writing something exactly like you're describing, but I haven't finished it. I've been busy trying to finish up this job and find a new job and haven't had as much free time for programming. I'll do a little more work on it when I get a chance and see what you guys think.
picsel is ultra slow at loading...
bika's still in dev... though it looks awesome!
pictureviewer 1.6 didn't work for me... I'm guessing there's a problem in the cfnet version?

I just tested in WM5. It works. But I don't like the design.
Byka's PictureViewer is good design. I have some idea.
1) In photo list mode, we can scroll (left or right) pictures in the list one by one.
2) Double click the photo to enlarge the photo to full screen.
3) In full screen mode, have a zoom & move function.
4) double click the screen to back to photo list mode.
Base on our current technology, it should not be hard to do. I am shameful that I don't know the programming so much.
SIMPLE IS THE BEST

simple, yet works, but still early in development. it does most of what you ask, except to zoom, you tap the screen.

Can you give us a URL that examples your problem (and maybe a screenshot in Opera where you've scrolled right to the bottom)? I've never seen this before.
screenshot 1 viewing by PC, can see whole screen to the bottom
screenshot 2 viewing by hd2, but can't show the lower part
screenshot 3 viewing by hd2, enlarged but can't scroll down to show bottom

on the other hand, what is the semi transparent icon at the top right hand corner use for??
Okay - your problem looks like an old problem that web developers face. It looks to me like a simple case of cross-browser compatability issues with CSS. You know how some web sites work in IE, but not in FireFox, and vice-versa. Well this looks like the same thing.
Does it look the same when you look at that site in IE on your phone?

I understand your frustration, but if I'm correct then it can't be helped. Not with the version of Opera that you currently use anyway. Maybe it will be different in version 10, but that, of course, doesn't support pinch-to-zoom, which is the main reason I have not migrated to that version.
I may be completely wrong about this, but I've done quite a bit of web development and this really does look like a browser compatability issue to me, especially since it renders fine in IE and SkyFire.
Sorry to not have good news. Maybe Opera 10 will be better for you, if you can live without pinch-to-zoom, but maybe that will still be the same.
Sorry mate

Opera's Rendering Text/Pictures while Pinch and Zoom?

I went to Verizon to try and noticed that the new Droid Incredible does an absolutely amazing job at rendering text and pictures while zooming into webpages. The text are kept VERY smooth and the pictures are NOT pixelated while zooming.
Unlike the HD2, when you pinch to zoom on a particular text or picture, the zoomed-in text or picture remains choppy until you release your two fingers from the screen.
Is there a fix for this? In terms of hardware wise, it is so identical to the HD2 but why is there this problem?
Can anyone provide a fix?
I am using Opera 9.7, Btw.
rebump. fix?
Seems like no one seems to know or already know the answer. Maybe that's why no one is answering?

A little pinch gesture for a zooming in a LOT?

Basically, I want to do a smaller pinch-to-zoom gesture in order to zoom in a lot! I don't want to stretch my fingers across the entire 4.3 screen just to zoom in only 40% of the way. I want to get up to 100% using a smaller gesture.
Is there something that I do not know in the registry or an app that can allow this to work?
Can anyone provide me their experience with a smaller gesture, but more zoomed in?
Rebump again.

mmh, i dont know, dont need pinch zooming when im browsing.. but maybe there is a registry entry in the opera registry folder..
REbump. if anyone can help.

Maybe you need to specify what version of Opera you are using. I know that the normal reg edits don't work for Opera 10.

Opera 9.7

I'm not sure if this has been already. covered... but i don't know exactly what to call it... but when i browse using opera.. and use eitherpinch to zoom or the double tap... the page on the screen starts shaking and moving.... like it jumps from one part of the page to another... has there been any fixes or tweaks to at least reduce it? and also do you guys even know what I'm talking about... thanks
hmm... can someone at least tell me the proper name for what i am experiencing so that i can research it myself?
let me answer your question. this problem is caused by text reflow. Period. thats it. that is the answer. you try to zoom on something,you get there, but then the screen jumps all the way to the left for some reason/ yeah. that is reflow at work. and it sucks.
i tried to find a way to disable it for many many days. re-bumping my thread again and again.
there is a way to disable reflow, but it comes at the cost of ugly webpages. usually text are aligned in a way that is not natural.
Search my threads. I am still trying to find a way, but I hoped i answered your question.
let me know if you find something better. =)
You need to download the newest build of Opera 9.7 from this forum. I have build 3600, and it is very smooth. Pinch-to-zoom works properly, text reflow doesnt cause the web page to jump all over the place either.
The update is just an exe file that you overwrite in the Windows directory.
try this. Worked wonders for me
I'm using the 3600 build as well, it's still not perfect in regards to the jumping but it is massively improved.

I have this installed as well. Its is a conbination of registry hacks to improve the smoothness of Opera. But the main tweak is to change the virtual screen size to 1024 pixels wide. Although you would need to change it to 1020 pixels to ensure that double-tap continues to work in portrait view.
The cab previously posted comes from this thread and page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627441&page=6
Here is another link for Opera Smooth tweaks, which I also installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=626157
Maybe a combination of the above and build 3600 will change your opinion...
