1) Just delete Opera9.exe and OperaL.exe files from Windows directory.
Both these files are copied during hard reset from the rom to the storage memory. As a result of that a functional copy of both files can be found in rom. The original files will be "activated" after deleting these files from the storage memory
2) Soft Reset
Opera will continue to work as previously
If you are unable to delete them, you can use Sktools and "Replaced Rom files" menu
Great tip, works a treat, thanks!
Very helpful, thanks!
Cheers always looking for more install space..

Tried to use Total commander but that didnt work. Is there any other way to delete those two files? Couldnt figure out "How to" with sktools.
Yes! Very good, thanks!

Open Sktools -> Click on Category -> Select Files -> Select Replaced ROM Files -> Check Opera9.exe & OperaL.exe -> Click Action -> Click Restore ROM file
I don't think that you can delete read only files that are included in the ROM.
Even if you delete those Opera files they will probably come back after a soft reset.

There is a double copy of these files, in rom and in storage memory. You delete the files in storage and continue to use the files in rom. Deleted files will be restored after hard reset, not soft reset.

Thanks for replying but when i follow your instruction, none of the opera files show up on the list. Using total commander, i can see both opera9 and operaL in the windows directory. i;m using sktools 4.4.7.9. Any further help will be much appreciated.

You're probably right! It's gone up by 4.5mb. Thanks for your help and support. Really appreciated!
You can delete it using Total Commander: First rename the 2 files like Opera.old and operaL.old.
Then delete the 2 files :*.old
Daniel
Still cannot delete those 2 files after renaming the extension in Total Commander
Can't find a way how to delete those 2 suckers. They are like trojans in my PC! HA HA can't rid 'em! I guess I'll have to try that SKTools thing!
The same for me.
Can't delete these 2 apps on windows directory.
Using SKTools 4.4.7.13
Thanks for this. I was staring to run a little low!
Nice tip! Thanks. I just renamed them in Resco and moved them to SD. No reset required. Immediately saw the increase in memory and Opera still worked. Of course, doing a reset is still recommended

Same thing here, not able to find Opera files.
Edit: Sorry it was because demo version
i have use sktools for opera and its very good tools
when i look for other possibility of soft i look for storage analyser and i found my document use a lot of storage memory when i look in the music repertorie have copy a part of my mp3 in the storage card of my phone.
perhaps this is the same sytem of album htc.
thank for your very good topic
Worked like a charm
Did that by renaming both files to *.old and then deleting the resulting renamed files using Total Commander. Finally a soft reset.
One of the best hints so far. Thank so much.
I think it should be added to "*Leo Hints & Tips* - Things you may not have known".

1. Unzip the Disable Cube.zip and copy the folder Disable Cube in storage card.
2. With resco explorer copy the four exe files from the folder Empty Files in windows folder.
3. With a registry editor in HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings change EnableCube from 1 in 0 and make a soft reset.
The cube will not function anymore and you will have an extra 6,5 mb memory program memory available.
Attention: After you replace the original files, programs like SKTools and MemMaid may show the files "useless" and prompt you to delete them. DO NOT delete those files. If you do delete them by mistake then just restore the files as described in step 2.
In the Real files folder you can find the original files in order to come back whenever you want. Just copy in windows folder and change again the value in registry.
cannot overwrite, it said all files is read-only.......
Τry with resco explorer.
Finally I got rid of this useless cube, and I have more 7MB to RAM.
Nice finding man, Thanks!

6.8 MB free and get rid og the Cube
Weird. On my Touch, with a custom ROM I built that hasn't biotouch.exe and other cube resources, that means I would have 7MB more free RAM compared to a ROM on which it's present and active. Yet it's (definitely!) not the case.
Believe me I wish it would be the case

Nice and it works, but a big Problem (HTC touch cruise, WM 6.0):
When i make a sidescroll in emails or sms i get an error message, something like "couldn`t open biotouch.exe". Any solution ?
With a registry editor in HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings change EnableCube from 1 in 0 and make a soft reset.

.................Why ?
i know you guys said this will give you more access to ram, but does removing the cube speed up the device at all (noticeably?)
i wish HTC would have just had an option to disable it in the system settings.
oh well.
Maybe someone will make a software that can do this automatically for us?
To complete and correct this error try this:
With a registry editor in HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings change EnableScroll from 1 in 0 and make a soft reset
There is a similar metod to disable HTC Home?
Alright well I have my micro sd card in my device, and all my music on the SD card in the My Music folder, but for some reason the device doesn't want to recognize the songs. I can play the songs by going to the file explorer, but it's a pain to do. I go to WMP and click menu > library > and only see my device, no storage card. I go to update library, it finds the 60+ files, but only adds the 2 stock audio files. Help is appreciated.
Anyone know whats going on? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Please use the search function, this issue has been discussed several times.
Anyway, delete the folder "MSMETADATA" on your card and try again....

^^ There is no folder called "MSMETADATA." However there is a folder called "Data," should I delete that?

No this won't help i assume.
Please try again and use your host pc and a card reader.
Make sure that all files are shown in windows explorer, also hidden and system files.
MSMETADATA is a system folder, it is not visible in mobile file explorer.
Alternatively you may install total commander or resco file explorer on your device.

Because:
I'm using the M-Opal Rom. This ROM is including the new Manila 2D...so there is a file called "GXDMA.dll" in the windows folder. The Problem is, i have to delete this file, otherwise i cannot play a lot of games...but i cannot delete it, because it's marked as "rom"...i've tried resco explorer, but it can't delete the file also..

It does'nt work.
I tried to do what in "Leo Hints & Tips" for exp:
"1. Enable Hidden Default Games
Go to the Windows directory and copy bubblebreaker.exe and solitaire.exe to the games folder as shortcuts in Windows\Start Menu. Make sure to unhide system files to see the games listed."
I can't copy files as instructed (working with total commander) and if the files were copied I can't reach/see them.
I think you may have misunderstood the original instructions.
Open file manager (not total commander) and navigate to Windows folder.
Locate the file BubbleBreaker (it's 46K, not one of the others)
Highlight it and keep it pressed till you get the menu with "Copy" in it. Do Copy.
Scroll back to the top and go into "Start Menu\Programs\Games".
Do "Menu, Edit, Paste Shortcut".
As I'm a pedant, I renamed the shortcut, removing the "Shortcut to" prefix.
Then, when you go Start Menu & then Games, BubbleBreaker is in there.
Now I've just done that exactly as typed above, whilst describing it for you, so it should work for you.
Let us know if you still have a problem.
Hi,
It works!
Now I got the idea.

Don't know what to say mate - it's in my Windows folder. There's a bunch of files called eT9.Rhodium.xxxx and then eT9MyWords is after them (directly after eT9DeadKeys).
I take it you did unhide system files as previously suggested? (I'm not sure if you need to do that for the games suggestion).
I have a slide deferent question. I would like to delet exe file from thew windows folder but I can't because I can't select Delete, have anyone some advice?
delete exe file
it has been awhile since i have done this, also some files are impossible or almost impossible to delete.
if you have been trying to do it from ur phone, go instead, to your active sync/windows mobility center. click file mgt and browse contents of device, navigate to the exe u want to delete. i have done it before and it has worked on several ocassions. be careful on what u r deleting, you may want to do a google on it b/f u do it
if this does not do it, i got no clue hope this helps someone

can someone tell me how to move the cahe folder of opera browser from the phone memory to the card memory i have an hd blackston wm 6.1

Hi there,
you can try the following (sourced from mobilitysite.com):
Move data and cache around to save memory
By default Opera installed a bunch of files and keeps cache in precious application data space (RAM). At least with the WM2003se version. By moving all of these files to a CF Card or SD memory stick you free up valuable RAM.
1) Edit the "Opera.ini" file located in "\Application Data\Opera"
2) Go to the "[User Prefs]" group
3) Change "Opera Directory=\Application Data\Opera" to a location that you would prefer such as "\cf card\opera"
4) Change "Help Directory=\Application Data\Opera\Help" to a location that you would prefer such as "\cf card\opera\help"
5) Move the following files and folders to the location that you specified above:
cach4 (folder)
help (folder)
imgcss (folder)
startpage (folder)
styles (folder)
chartables.bin
cookies4.dat
global.dat
opcacrt6.dat
opera.dir
oprand.dat
opssl6.dat
viger.dat
vlink4.dat
You are left with these files/folders in "\Application Data\Opera"
skin (folder)
opera6.adr
input.ini
opera.ini
english.lng

Try connecting via Activesync on your PC to locate the Opera.ini file, not through File Explorer, Resco Explorer, or Total Commander. If you still cannot find the file, on your PC, go to the Control Panel, Folder Options. In Folder Options on the View tab, under Hidden Files and folders, select the Show Hidden Files and Folders radio option, click OK.
1.Connect your phone to your computer, and connect to ActiveSync.
2.Open the ActiveSync window, then click the Explore Device button.
3.Navigate to \Application Data\Opera 9.x.
4.Find the opera.ini file (If you don't have file extensions enabled, it should just show as "opera".)
5.Copy the file to your desktop.
6.Open the file in a text editor, such as Notepad. Immediately do a File>Save as and rename the file to something other than opera.ini. This is your backup, just in case.
7.Now open the original opera.ini file. Scroll down to the [User Prefs] section and insert the following line: Cache Directory4=\Storage Card\operacache\. (Note: "operacache" can be renamed to anything you want.) Save and close the file.
8.Copy the new file back to your device, into the same \Application Data\Opera 9.x.
I'm not aware of any other ways to get around this.

Hi Abiis,
Yes. Unfortunately, this will affect the speed of your browser. I'm not saying you should try this, all I have done is posted a possible solution in reference to your query. I personally wouldn't recommend putting the cache on the storage card as this will result in slowing down the browser and possibly make it crash more often.
It is entirely up to you whether you try this but if you do not want a slow and laggy browser, then I would suggest you avoid doing this.
Good luck
