Setting for new version of Opera

I just installed Opera Mobile 9.5 and I am trying to get the zoom to work better. I was playing around with the opera:config and can't seem to get it right. Anyone know where I can find a recommended setup with the "adaptive zoom" for a QVGA device?
Also is there anyway to make it scroll faster after a "flick"?
I did search I and could not find anything...
thanks for any input!!

I use it on Athena. A big screen in VGA format, so my settings are different, but they are: 800, 145, 95, 125, 860. This lets me click shortlinh on page without first zooming the page. And I can read text without zooming (hardly, but I can). Zoomnig the page gives me exactly tthe size of text as it should be without oversizing.

hi
im also looking for the setting, to make the "flick" more sensitive

Keyboard doesnt pop up in landscape

Hi,
has anyone else the same problem?
the keyboard doesnt pop up when clicking on a text box. not even the keyboard-sign appears in the lower bar, so typing is not possible. it is esp. annoying in opera because browsing is kind of senseless without a keyboard.
i'm using my touch hd exclusively in landscape mode. The autorotate program is flip it and im running duttys v3.
would like to know if more ppl have this problem

that was me posting in the dutty v3 thread but there werent many replies. only one or two encountered the same problems since a lot of the dutty users seem not use landscape mode.
apart from that i dont really know if this has to be discussed in the dutty development thread since it could also be a problem of winmo or flipit or anything else. my research brought me to the conclusion that winmo is responsible for showing an input device whenever a text box is marked.
also the dutty thread is too big already. i have to read 10 or more pages to see if someone answered to the question. too many ppl asking how to flash or how to make their cats flash devices
so, if anyone has the same problem pls post here with your config
thx

Sorry if these same obvious or if you have already tried/stated these. I'm just asking these questions to get a better understanding of your problem and to see if I can replicate/solve your issue
Have you had similar problem on any other roms?
Is it standard HTC keyboard you are using?
Have you tried using HDTweak Automatic display pop up?
Have you tried a hard reset and then testing keyboard before installation of apps, then adding each app one at a time to see if any of them are conflicting with it?

I don't think I've had this problem on a non-Dutty ROM, but I'm not sure about that.
I use Fingerkeyboard.
I haven't tried the tweak you mention - but I'm not sure it would change anything since the problem is NOT PERMANENT! Sometimes the keyboard does pop up, sometimes it doesn't. Seems to be pretty random...

SOrry for the late reply...
i dont think i had the same problem with standard rom (autorotate app was changescreen)
i tried standard htc and fingerkeyboard
no, i havent tried hdtweak since the duttyroms are already tweaked by duttythroy and i dont want to mess it up. what exactly does the function "automatic display pop up"?
i hard reset after flash and tested directly afterwards. same problem.
does anyone know if this problem is still in duttys 3.3?
thx
hdizzel

The problem is still there in v3.3,i have read every possible thread and did every possible search,i cannot find anything mentioned about this and i cannot find a solution. It is kinda lame to have to rotate the phone everytime i need to write smthing on opera,but meh i can live with this inconvenience, Dutty's Rom is worth it tbh.
Even so if anyone finds anything pls report back would be nice to solve this

Currently using V3.3 and I'm still not replicating your problem. If I use Opera or msm in landscape fingerkeyboard automatically pops up for me.
I've used HD Tweak with basically every rom I've flashed and had no problems with it. I'd go as far as saying it actually improves the phones experience and userability.
Try using it and see if it also helps you with your keyboard display

The funny thing is that i have HD Tweak installed(and auto pop enabled),and had it on every rom i used(well basically all of Dutty's Roms since 2.4),dont know what is going on.Maybe it is smth else on my phone,will try reflashing and using Fingerkeyboard only as the first app.Btw this only happens in opera for me.

I'll also reflash and try and replicate your problem. Let me know if it persists

nop,doesnt work still.This just boggles mereallh,maybe it is just my phone,since it behaves like this with the originl keyboard also.maybe it is opera ,maybe maybe maybe pffft

ok, I finally see were your coming from as I am experiencing it as well. Not sure why this is though. I'll look into it and see if I can find a solution.
I never really use landscape to be honest, especially in Opera as loading time of pages is slower.

well i use landscape on opera mainly for forum browsing cause i can see more text!anyways awaiting on news about this,and i am gonna try some tweaking around myself.

Arrgh!!! Really annoying, Clownshoes figured it out before me!!! LOL. Trust you mate!!
Ok mate, it seems it does work, you have to hold down for 2 secs in input field, no more, no less and it should then pop up. You can thank Clownshoes for that one!
Let me know how you get on

Hmm,i might be doing something wrong,i press and hold in the input field for 2secs or so and nothing really happens,well if i press for more the opera menu pops up "select all" but other than that nothing.
Maybe it has something to do with keyboard settings like the popup timer or something similar,although my settings are on default. i'll keep trying though.
Thanks for trying to solve this

ok, which method are you using to rotate opera? Are you using FlipIt?
I've noticed if I set flipit to 0 and 270 degrees and then enter opera. The first time the keyboard will not pop up. But if I exit opera and then re-enter it works fine.
Have you tried a soft reset?

It seems to be very sensitive. Try using just the tip or nail of your finger in the text entry area for about a second.

It also helps if you double tap to zoom into the text entry box.
I've just tested it by doing it over and over again and using the tip of my finger seems to work every time.

this is very weird,i got it to pop but it is extremely sensitive,dunno what makes it behave like this.
Anyways thanks for the solution guys.

Zooming in/out (opera)

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?

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?

Try to turn off "Turbo Mode".

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...
