hi,
i'm using os version: 5.2 and manila: 2.5 (from dutty's 1.59).
I want to set opera mini as browser for all stuff especially for the internet tab on the htc gui.
Is that possible?
Thx!
I'm not sure if this works with 'mini', but what i used to do with other versions of opera (e.g. 10 beta, 9.7) was:
- install the cab to phone memory
- look in the \windows foler to see what the current opera browser is called (usually Opera9.exe or OperaL.exe). backup this file (e.g. rename it to Opera_old.exe)
- rename the [.exe] in [\program files\Opera Mini 5] to Opera9.exe or OperaL.exe
- copy everything from the install directory of opera mini (\program files\Opera Mini 5) to [\windows]
- soft reset!
I used this method sucessfull to change the defualt broswer in Sense from opera 9.5 to 9.7 and 10, but I'm not sure if it works for mini.
this method also changes the defualt browser.
- if it doesnt work you should be able to delete your new Opera9/OperaL.exe, and rename the backed-up file, and still have the current version of opera working, but as i havent tested, i cant guarentee it!
- if you are really worried, backup your whole [/windows] folder to mem card first, otherwise you might have to HR.
I can't be bothered to do that every time i flash a new ROM at the moment, so all i do is hide the internet tab in Sense, and use one of the homescreen shortcuts in sense 2.5 to point to opera mini.
Hope this helps

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...

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!
u became my personal hero today
Very 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.
my phone is now perfect thanks !!!!

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,
My WWE 1.39.405.2 ROM contains Opera 9.5 Build 16277. The browser works fine, yet it has issues with Flash (as discussed in other threads in this forum). I have discovered that my device actually DOES support Flash, since when I use IE it displays Flash pages correctly. The current version of Opera simply can't go along with it...
By doing some research, I read that the new Opera 9.7 does support Flash. I installed the new version, and found that out indeed it does support it. However, the problem is not only that the previous version of Opera is still in the device (since it is stored in the ROM), but also that it is the default browser. In other words, when e.g. I use the internet tab in Manila, the version 9.5 fires up.
Is there a way to have the 9.7 version installed and make it the default browser? I know that I can't get rid of the old 9.5 version (unless I change my ROM, of course), but I could compromise by having it dormant in my device, and having version 9.7 being the active browser in all instances.
*Bump*
Is there any way to make this happen? Be it to make the new opera the default browser or any other, so I don't have to go to the programs and open it from there.

I would also like to know if this is possible!
Anybody have an answer?
It has been solved! Flash CAN be made to work with the current version of Opera! Check here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542165
tf3d launches opera9.exe as default browser. I tried to change it through the registry but without avail. You have to place new opera9-ml.exe to windows directory, rename it to opera9.exe and overwrite original file. Attributes for that file are " read only " , " system " and " in ROM " and in my topaz it is not possible because of that. Perhaps somebody will discover solution

Yep, that worked for me (9.5 1938)
I would still like to know if it's possible to make 9.7beta my default browser though.
partial solution
I've changed a little original opera9.7b1 cab and it works as default browser in tf3d now.
But can't solve two things:
1- opera starts after soft reset or turning on with error message but then works properly
2- zoom bar works as scroll bar in new opera
if someone want to try it
install cab from link below
edit : don't change registry value my zoom bar doesn't work now in stock opera
make soft reset
after uninstallation you will have old opera, here is new opera
I recently installed Opera 9.7 build 35432 from the leo rom, I was unaware installing this cab would overwrite my stock opera settings ITS NOT EVEN IN THE PROGRAM LIST ANYMORE! When I had previously installed the opera 9.7 beta 1 there would be two opera browsers in my programs menu
This was not the case this time, Installing Opera 9.7 overwrote the stock where there is only one Opera browser in the programs menu
With that said does anyone know where in windows I can find the stock opera? Whats the filename??? I would download the stock from the opera mobile all versions thread but that would take up some memory so I wanna find it in the windows folder if there
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 ?
