Ok, I have a stock TMOUS HD2. Whenever I download any cab file from near anywhere with whatever opera that came with my hd2 (9 i think) it fails the install. Yet, whenever I do internet explorer, or Omarket, etc, it works fine. Is there any way to go about fixing this?

Hi
I've experienced lots of problems with the Wizard's midlet manager, especially when trying to use Opera Mini.
It sees I've got a working connection, but when loading any web page I get an error message - critical error kind of thing.
I hard reset my Vario several times hoping it would solve the problem... in vain.
has any update to the Midlet Manager been released? And where to get it from? I checked the TAO site, but no downloads are available from their site (they seem to ship direct to HTC and the likes).
Alternatively, what is the work around? I want to use the Midlet for Google maps and other midlets. Thanks
Download the attached zip file but DO NOT unzip it. Overwrite the one in \Windows on your PDA. Once your done, start up Midlet Manager then Menu -> About and confirm the following version numbers...
Runtime MIDP 2.0: v10.1.7.551 (Build 20060317)
That's the version I'm running and it works just fine with Google Local Maps and Opera Mini.
If after performing the above you still can't get Opera Mini working properly then I'd suggest uninstalling Opera Mini (tap and hold the icon and select uninstall) and then visit http://mini.opera.com in Pocket Internet Explorer and download Opera Mini again. If that page says something about recognising your device as an iPaq of some kind then just ignore it.
You may just want to scrap tao's manager and go for IBM's http://www.winmobiletech.com/sekalaiset/IBMJ9MIDP.zip
I haven't used it, but some people like it. It displays satelite images in google local too.

The zip file came straight from a fresh install of a 2.24 ROM
I've now tried the first solution (the update to Tao's MIDLET) and the midlet manager freezes then crashes as a result!
No good...
Any idea why it does that, and any other work around to the problem?
Cheers
Ok perform this step as well, download this file...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=12426
...and overwrite the ones found in...
\Application Data\Tao\intent
and
\Windows
I've just done that, but in vain. the Midlet Manager still freezed then crashes. I can't even uninstall my old version of Opera mini and / or install the new one. The Midlet Manager crashes before I can do anything...
Any suggestion?
Maybe I should go back to the original Manager?
Navigate to...
\Application Data\Tao\intent\app\jam\midlets
...and delete the operamini folder and see what happens then.
If Midlet Manager still locks up then by all means replace rofs_target.zip and target.img.zip back with the versions you had originally... assuming you did back them up first
Just out of interest, what ROM version are you running and what Midlet Manager version did you have prior to all this messing around?
Thanks Keitaro.
My ROM is T-Mobile's UK ROM 1.6.2.4 - I am waiting for T-Mobile to release the new ROM.
Maybe that's why the updated Midlet manager does not work.
I did not backup the target.img.zip file unfortunately.
Could anybody on the T-Mobile's 1.6.2.4 ROM upload their Windows/target.img.zip file here please?
I could then downgrade my Midlet Manager.
thanks
You can always install the IBM Manager.
It's not as pretty, but it works.

opera mini
i screw up my midlet by deleting the target.img. i want to have a fresh installation of opera mini. How will i uninstall the previous mini in my xda?
Hi,
Since I upgraded to WM6.1 on my Touch Plus, the HTC European ROM, I cannot download anything directly onto my device using the browser built into the phone from the internet.
I cannot download Google maps or YahooGO! cabs directly using the built in Internet Explorer browser.
I didn't have this problem when using the standard T-Mobile UK Rom that was supplied with the phone. It starts the download, downloads a 0Kb file then says it's failed to install the program.
Has anyone else had this? I have also Hard Reset the phone, no joy!
Thanks
Anyone?
Any help would be appreciated
please can someone try downloading something from the internet using explorer on a niki running wm6.1 htc europe rom.I cant watch youtube vids either!I hate this rom,shud of left t-mob uk rom installd.thanks all.
enjoy folks

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.
basically, i have been playing around with my opera to try and update it so i can view flash based content on websites within the browser.
ive managed to get this to work so now i can see youtube on the actual website! and also videos/sound files on the bbc website and other flash based websites.
i upgraded to opera 2808 and installed flashplayer7 for ppc from adobe and made a plugin file with a flash plugin in that too.
now my opera does work but i need to go into the opera file in explorer and click on the operaL file. it wont work if i go to the internet tab or to the programs list and choose it from there. the logo has dissappeared. i have the original orange ROM and havent had a windows movile before so have no idea how to change anything like the logos or to reset the programs buttons. if anyone can help i will happily buy you a beer!
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

If you don´t find your answer post there as all Opera experts visit that thread.

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 ?
