This was easy with opera 9 but with opera 10 I do not know how to save the settings/bookmarks so I can restore them after flashing.
I am using Valkyrie v5.4.23517 FireStormLEO.
Anyone know how to back up opera 10?
Anyone know anything about this? have search but cant find anything for opera 10.
is it just a case of backing up all the opera file in the windows directory?
what ive been doing my last couple flashes is i just active sync my phone
explore
windows mobile device or whatever
program files
i drag the entire opers 10 folder out, flash, install opera 10 then activesync and go back to the program files folder and copy and replace the opera 10 folder from your desktop.
its a lil bland but since you gotta sync to flash anyway your not really going outta your way.
passwords and all that are still working but this is the only method ive found
Prior to using Valkirie 5.5Leo I used to copy two folders from ProgramFiles>>>Opera10>>>Profiles>>>datastorage and secure these two folders contains 9 favorites and password etc. but now since Opera10 is cooked into the rom there is no opera10 folder in the progfiles...it will be either in windows files there I already looked but could not find another place is the rgistry which I have to still check.

There is no opera 10 folder in program files.
There are opera files in the windows directory but opening it under active sync takes ages. I can be waiting several mins for the folder to show (windows 7 64). I can open it with total comander quickly and this is what I used to do to back up the opera6.adr file to the memory card for opera 9.
I did look through the above thread but couldn't find an answer. Perhaps I will post there if backing up the files in the windows folder doesn't work.
edit: there is a folder called profile in the windows directory that is full of opera files. i will see if backing up this works.
Don't you just use the inbuilt Opera Sync thing?

What I do is create an Opera Link account. Then you can sync your links on your start page each time you flash. This will save your links on the web and each time you flash and then sign in to the Opera Link they will pull down and display in your start page of Opera 10.
I had to D/L Opera to me desktop to create the link account but then you can delete the PC version and only run the mobile version.

thanx for sharing this info . Now I got a link account too. Let's run a firmware upgrade now and see if it really works
I too am curious about it working. It keeps the links, but what about passwords and other settings?

No, it doesn't keep those. Opera link only saves your Bookmarks and the Start Page links. You'll have to reenter your settings and passwords everytime you freshly install opera.
sure?

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...

Rename the old file first.
Does anyone know how to uninstall the "stock" version of Opera 9 that comes with the ROM? It does not show up in the remove programs list. I prefer Opera 9.5 beta and would like to get rid of the stock Opera 9 that comes on the device. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
I would also like to know how to do this. I really like the zoom feature in the new beta.
i'm suprised you got the new beta to work. I have nothing but issues with it. When I open the bookmarks for instance and then close it, it says opera at the top of my taskbar, but opera is no where to be seen.
What's the new zoom feature exactly?
can't you just install opera 9.5 over 9?

No, unfortunately it leaves the stock version alone and installs another instance

The beta actually installs in the program files folder, either on the device or storage card depending what you pick obviously. Stock Opera installs directly in the windows folder. I may try just copying the beta files into the windows folder and see what that does, naming them the same obviously, so it overwrites
nobody know how to uninstall it?
if i dont mind having 2 separate programs,will the 9.5 beta will work
Yes I had it working like this on my first X1 build. Bit annoying as hyperlinks to 'Opera Browser' are lotteries to which will open lol
Btw which version of opera must i use? Advanced generic has tiny on screen buttons due to the res
Hi everyone ,
i found a easy way to make opera bookmarks appear in touchflo 3d internet tab.
-copy \application data\opera9 into \windows\
-open opera and type about:config in the adress bar
-in the quick find type : opera directory
-change the path to \Windows\Opera9\
-click save
-click ok when the pop up appears.
-close opera
enjoy your bookmarks in the internet tab.
forgot to say that it must work with every build of opera and that bookmarks will be updated automatically
Great find, its working for me on TF3DHD Beta 2 with the stock X1 opera. Now i dont need to install the horrible, buggy Touch HD opera build.
woot nice!

At first I thought it wasn't working, but after a soft reset they showed up. Might wanna add that step to the tutorial.

this part is mandatory if you want the bookmarks to update in touchflo 3D
Yeah, I'm using itje's wwe 3.01 touch-it rom. dunno why I had to reset then, I tried saving the new directory path twice and nothing showed up, but it did after a reset so I don't know.
Either way its working fine, so no worries.
did the bookmarks refresh corectly intouchflo 3d on itje rom ?
The opera folder is over 18mb, so after pasting into windows I deleted the original folder and now opera won't load...doh!

just copy the windows/opera9 in application data and opera will launch again.
argh!!
This isn't quite working for me - nearly though.
I do the above and I get the FIRST bookmark folder appear "Games" and thats it. I then go into opera and delete all the folders and leave the three boomarks i've added in the list, bbc, the reg and youtube. I exit the bookmark editing in Opera and the three appear perfectly on the Internet tab.
I then go back into Opera and it recreates all these crap default folders i don't want and in the process screwing back up my internet tab.
Any ideas?
More clues.
I have figured out that when I tried to add a new bookmark of my own, when I click on the star in opera it re-creates automaticaly all the old folders. I then have to delete them again and the tab is back to normal - talk about pain in the a*&e.
which rom are you using ? wich version of opera do you have.
Did you change the config path in opera configuration page ?
seems that opera is still using the original file and not the copyed one
Hi Ty
its on my Omnia so not sure how helpfull the Rom version would be.
Opera version is 9.5, build 15529 and yes, I changed the config line.
i suppose you are using touchflo2D on a custom dxkj2 or similar ? which version of touchflo 2d are you using ?
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 ?
I have lost the ability to open opera mini 5 with all my bookmarks saved - Out of the blue I get a error saying "The file opera mini 5wm armv4 cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found....."
I can still access all the files the program contains on the computer as well as on the phone itself. Its only when I click on the icon to start opera do I get this message. I am sure that the bookmarks are contained in one of those files so even if I had to copy it and past it into a new copy of the program. I just don't know where to find them and how to do it.
I have grown used to just copying the folder from my computer with Opera mini instead of reinstalling the cab each time I did a hard reset. I realized I could just copy and past the shortcut and opera mini would be back like always with all my bookmarks etc. I never bothered to use opera link to save my bookmarks.
I tried a hard reset, tried recopying the file from my computer, and even tried to load it on a different touch pro 2 that I have lying around. I still get the same message. I have seen some posts about not this particularly but generally about this errror message. The solutions seemed complicated involving editing certain codes and seemed a little beyond my reach (though if that is my only choice I will try) Has anyone had this issue and can anyone help me. I have bookmarks that go back a while and it would be a shame to have to start all over.
Thanks
Steve

I guess you installed it on memory card, and that's how you tried to run it on the other device... If you have modified Opera Mini executable (OperaMini5-WM-armv4.exe), as you obviously did, it won't be able to run anymore until you reinstall it. Go to m.opera.com, download and install.
Nothing too complicated, just uninstall original one and delete all it's files before installing it again.
