hey hd2 owners..i waited a week of personal daily use before i post this "tweak" that i found by snoopoing around settings so here is what i did :
1. run opera 9.7
2. type in the browser address "opera:config " without quotes
3 . expand adaptive zooming and then proceed to reduce the default zoom variable to zero ( 0 )
4 . enjoy at last reflow-less browsing !
my default value of "default zoom" was 175 iirc , but this may vary due to my using custom rom and tweak apps.
it seems that the only side effect of doing this is loosing double tap zoom ; but come on u can actually zoom where you pinch!..restoring to ur default value restores this back to its original state..
i hope you guys will enjoy this as much as i did! cheers..

Opera Mobile 10 is more slick, but a big problem I had with it was that unless Zoom was set to at least 140%, links / text in Portrait mode were too small to click on / read. The lack of adaptive zoom and zoom slider in Opera 10 didn't help either. Well not any more!
Either go into the Opera advanced settings page by typing in "opera:config" in the URL when Opera 10 is running and click on "Fonts" to change the font settings, or just stick the following lines into the "Opera.ini" file inside <Opera 10 Installed Location>\PROFILE\ directory:
Code:
[Fonts]
Form.Button=25,3,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
Form.Input=25,3,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
Form.Text=24,3,0,0,0,0,Courier New
H1=40,5,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
H2=34,5,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
H3=30,5,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
H4=26,5,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
H5=22,5,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
H6=20,5,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
Normal=25,3,0,0,0,0,Tahoma
PRE=23,3,0,0,0,0,Courier New
The 1st number in each line represents the actual font size. Adjust to your liking. The font sizes above let me navigate most websites with Default Zoom @ 100% and the text is very readable.
Note that some webpages will look more misaligned due to the larger fonts, but now at least you won't need to have zoom at 200% to be able to read the text
This probably also works for Opera 9.7 and below, but the issue isn't as important since these versions have a more useful zoom slider and proper font-size adjustment in the Settings menu whereas Opera 10 buries it in the opera:config page.
Hope this helps some of you out there.
Have you also tried to size the browser window to fit on the screen from the "opera:config"? I mean, I tried to set the default zoom to 100% instead of (I believe) 175% as is the default. Looking at a webpage I like to see it all, and THEN I decide what to zoom in on.
I read another post where the guy managed to set the zoom to 100%, I just didn't have any luck doing that on my phone! Maybe I made a mistake, don't know...
Wonder if there might be another place to type in how wide you want to see the pages in default mode...
regards Helle
Thanks for this info
I noticed that no matter how far you try to zoom out, you can not see the entire webpage of certain sites.
Is there a reason behind this? And if so, is there a fix? Not a lot of ppl are talking about this issue.
I was really bothered by that, till last night when I managed to fix it while snooping around the registry
Lower Default Zoom (Really takes advantage of the HD2 beautiful screen)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom]
Default Zoom=100 (or lower value... play with it)
Hope it helps
humm weird. i still wont. webpages remain zoomed in on first entry. such as notebookreview.com. even after changing it to 100, the webpage does not fully show 100% but rather zoomed in.
** UPDATE:
changing the default zoom did not work, but right under that key was VIRTUAL screen (default 800). I changed it to 1000 and wahlah! it worked !
I now see webpages in full scale and no longer zoomed in.
This is great and should definitely appear in BsB tweak, I like it!
Hmmmmm weird, worked for me ... anyway, glad you got it sorted out. It shouldcome like that as standard really

You can find this setting in about:config -> Adaptive Zoom -> Virtual Screen Width
And if you guys are interested, here are a couple other reg settings I liked:
Increase Scrolling FPS
I changed the following key to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Info]
PanFps=50
Increase Zooming FPS
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Info]
ZoomFps=50
These two above make a world of difference in smoothness of both scrolling and zooming on my device. Do not enter a value higher than 50 or it will not take effect (at least it did not on my HD2)
Enjoy
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
In my Kaiser, i could manage this by pressing and holding the bars to move the screen. In Leo this was impossible, so some sites were just useless to me.

Exactly. With "Virtual Screen Width" set to 1000 or even more, you will be able to always see the entire website.
does anyone kno9w why in certain versions of opera, when you open Google search engine, you cannot see the 'Show Options' button? (at the top -- when you click on this it allows you to hit "latest" so you get real time tweets and so on).

I searched for that too.
I fond a consistant answer that there's no way to do it for existing files,
but you can create a template with the zoom set to whatever you want,
and make new files based on that template
(see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=259973 )
For existing files - I just selected the whole cell range (clicking at the top-left most cornet - above the first line and before the "a" title) selected "format cells" and set the font size to 8 or 6,
and then set cell widths as needed.
(a bit of work, but it's a "one-time-investment" that pays - at least for me)
Hi Friends,
Fyi , I am a low vision person using the HTC HD2 for the past 6 weeks (lost my left eye 6 years ago due to a failed eye operation, surviving on one low vision eye). So far I have installed BsB Tweaks and enjoy the pinch & Zoom feature in all programs, the device is great with it's 4.3 inch capacitive screen !
However, the only drawback is the sms editor & screen the text size (even when set to "largest") is too small for me to read.
Does anyone know how to modify the registry setting so that the text size can be increased for the following:
1) New SMS screen
2) Reply SMS Screen
Looking forward for your help
Thanks in advance
try this out:
Go with ur Registry Editor to:
HKCU/Software/HTC/HTCMessaging/Fonts
and change "FontScale" from "2" = should be standard to "1"
tell us if it has been working for you please
HKCU/Software/HTC/HTCMessaging/Fonts is this corect adress?
I have in HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCMessaging/Fonts
But nowhere "Fontscale" ??
Hi all
Can a few people do me a favour and test out the following webpage on the default browser chrome:
http://www.itv.com/thismorning/showbiz/im-a-celebrity-deadly-delivery/
Note that the text is sharp.
Now scroll down so that the nav bar is no longer visible.
Does the text turn noticeably (and very blatantly) blurry/fuzzy?
If yes then chrome has a bug?
If not then I think I may have a defective screen? Haven't really noticed it in other apps yet.
I think it goes blurry for me sometimes when it is rendering
In order to be smooth when scrolling, most browsers use low resolution images when scrolling/zooming etc, then sharpen up when you stop moving (sorry about my bad terminology). Is this what is happening in your case? When mine goes blurry, it sharpens up within a few seconds.
Mine stays blurry even after its finished loading.
I also seem to have some touch screen issues. doesn't always smoothly zoom in and out when using pinch to zoom in maps, gallery, browser etc. It's as if it doesn't recognize that there's two fingers/touch points on it constantly..
They're both actually things I've tried to ignore but can't especially when the same actions on my galaxy nexus are flawless. Thought I'd check here with others to see if it's a defective unit. It's my second already..
I noticed the blurry text only on the mobile site of twitter
Yes I have this issue too. The texts remain blurry after the webpage is resized.

Windows registry edit - fixes Chrome text/fonts blurry/thin issue
Windows Registry editing fixed the font thickness issue for me perfectly, we can tune the font thickness/darkness by calibrating FONTSMOOTHINGGAMMA value to anywhere between 150 and 190 hexadecimal( 336 to 400 decimal )
- START -> RUN -> REGEDIT
- search for FONTSMOOTHINGGAMMA by keying " Ctrl F " ( will automatically take us to CurrentUser\ControlPanel\Desktop path)
- double-click mouse on FONTSMOOTHINGGAMMA enter anything between 150 and 190 hexadecimal.(the Lower the value, the thicker the fonts.)
- close the REGEDIT tool
- LOGOFF and then LOGON
Now all the fonts are very thick & very dark in Chrome Browser.
But we must make sure that ClearType smoothing is enabled in Windows( controlPanel -> personalization -> appearance -> Effects -> ClearType smooth check [ ticked box ] )
OR alternately in RegEdit ...
FONTSMOOTHING=2
FONTSMOOTHINGTYPE=2
FONTSMOOTHINGORIENTATION=1 for LCD-screen, 0 for CRT-screen
( Note: MicrosoftClearTypeTuner minimum GAMMA value is 1000 maximum 2200 decimal, it doesn't let us tune beyond that limit, hence the Registry tweak)
