No Opera with new Generic UK ROM???

Is it just me but I can see no Opera browser installed in the new Generic UK R2A ROM???? Where is it hiding or do I need to do something special to get is op my phone? Is it included in the ROM??? Newbie, please help!!!

Hmm Opera is the default browser in the UK R2 Rom. If you cannot find the sortcut (which sounds bizarre) try using the google search field on the today screen to see if that runs Opera.

Call me stupid, but no, cant seem to find the shortcut or the application?? Any suggestions?

If you have changed your Start Menu and Opera is showing there then it would not show in Programs, and vice versa. have a look in both before you result in a reset

Or simply install it again.

Nope, very strange, not anywhere to be seen!!! Do I need to flash ROM again with the same UK generic one, or do you suggest I download it again as well??

Try a hard reset and let the customisation run after setting up the screen, it should install then. If it doesn't then something has gone wrong with the flash.
If you're using the stock file manager then there's a good chance it's hiding files in /windows.

Is it in the Start menu?

I am using the standard file explorer, "Show all files". Is there a specific place in the windows directory I need to look?

No they should just be sitting there all content and lovely..
Try using "total commander" instead. Either google it of find it on this site, it's free and superb.
The Inbuilt file exploder is pants..

Okay, this is NOT funny. Opera nowhere to be seen!!! Looks like it is re-flash for me???

sounds like it, did a hard reset do nothing at all?

Xperia Help Urgent!!

Hi. I have few problems.
1. I don't know why I cant install any programs. I downloaded the programs and then moved to my phone storage sd, and then when I run setup file, it opens Opera Mobile, and then that's it, nothing happens. Any idea???
2. My SMS received time is always 4 hours behind. But sent time is correct. I've tried changing regional settings but no use.
3. Is there any way to change file views to Thumbnail view. I moved picture files to Storage SD, but files are not in Thumbnail view.
any help would be appreciated. Thanks alot.

2. i think it has something to do with syncing on your computer...do a search for further info

If you download .cab installer, you don't need to extract file from .cab with winrar!
Just copy .cab on your phone memory and launch installation on your phone (double click on the .cab file in the phone file explorer)

1. What are you installing? Whats the extension .exe or .cab? Im not aware of any .exe installing from PPC, yet.
2. Might sync time with pc using ms activesync to see if that solves problem...
3. No way to change that, again as that I know of. If you want to look at pictures, maybe try to get HTC Album. Just do search....

Htc keyboard on mytouch 3G

I am new to this forum, and i have been desperately trying to figure out how to get the htc keyboard on the generic cupcacke build that comes with the mytouch 3G. I know there is a method that involves rooting the phone, but i don't want to take a chance. I have come across another method that seems much easier:
download htc_ime.apk, put it on your sd card, download an app manager or file explorer from android market, use the app to doanload the apk on to your phone, go to local and text in settings and select touch input.
Does this method really work?
I had doubts because everyone seems to be using the more complicated method.

Yes any .apk file will work, does with me and I use Astro
Cheers
R.

Do you have to unzip the apk file before you put it on your sd card?

this method was discussed on the other thread, but the one person who ended up trying it out had problems getting it to work. that is why i made a separate thread to check if the process was valid and if would actually work.

its valid & works fine.. Jsut like the instructions in the other thread say.. I can personally vouch for that as I am using the HTC Compact Keyboard on my myTouch3g
Edit: also the 1 person who hasn't gotten it to work likely is just doing something wrong..

yeah pointless why start a new thread if you could have just gone to the other one and confirmed that it is working....

thanks for all the help. i guess i am kind of new to this stuff. i figured it would be easier to just start a new thread. by the way, why does everybody use the more complicated method(adb)?

Naw I'm positive I did it correctly I did it exactly like the OP in the other thread said he did it... I've rooted g1s and flashed roms so I think I have the bbasic knoledge needed to install an .apk, especially since I did the same thing two days before when I had to install the sherpa .apk

after you have the file on the card run the appmanager program.. when it comes up I had to choose menu & then Something that was obvious.. I dont remember what it was, but it was there.. & then simply install the apk file as listed.. Also make sure you have checked the bock to allow non marketplace apps..

well its installed on my mt3g i had to go to the phone settings then locale & text, then select touch input from there, then go back to a new message long click and select touch input there as well... but it work now and i like on the mt3g just as much as i do on my G1... and sorry im new here and im sure yall are pissed at me already lol

@c-phresh
i think i know what your problem is. when you download and extract the htc_ime.apk, it branches into two files. one is a .so file, and one is a .apk file.
The only file that you should use is the .apk. if you also put the .so file on your sd card, the whole process will go wrong at one point.

when i try to install the keyboard it keeps failing, also. when i try to install it at the top of the screen it says "abc non-word vibrate times" then asks me to confirm that i want to change a system setting, then fails after i try to install. i have a changed the settings to allow 3rd party apps to be installed. any thoughts? non-rooted phone.....

From your information on your post profile I would say your not working with a MyTouch3g since you have a Canadian flag & the rogers logo..

you would be correct. i was hoping that my version would be pretty similar to the mytouch3g, minus the horrible name

@hondaguy
the keyboard that we are all trying to obtain already comes standard on the rogers magic that you have. Look at images on first page.

that is strange. in that case, i can only recomend that you make sure not to install the .so file that came in the keyboard zip

Download it from here:
Code:
http://microsoft-net-compact-framework.en.softonic.com/pocketpc

Or get the .cab from MoDaCo, for a 2MB download, instead of a 33MB download.

nljuggler ; oooh yea, how could i forgotten tht? ofc i tried google.(not tryin to b mean) **ur 2nd comment** - naw no thxs
fitnessvip ; yea i tried this but i wasn't SURE how to activate it on the HD2. How i did it was save the file onto the destop then connect the HD2 to the computer then open up the Phone memory (NOT THE "STORAGE CARD") then just copy and paste the Framework into tht place.so then i thought i was done so then i disconnect it then press the start button and going to "File Explorer" and activate it from there but it doesn't work

Well that's how I found the result in my second post. If you should decide to download it anyway. Copy the .cab file anywhere on your phone (or storage card). Find it with the File Explorer on your phone and click it.
It will start the installation. I'm not even sure it's going to ask you where you wish to install it, but do select 'Device' if appropriate.

well after downloading the .cab file and installing it,i opened up the download HD2 game and it was an Error...

Yes, you can delete .cab files after installing them. Too bad the game gave you an error. What was the exact error?

A quick search on Google shows that your not the only one with this problem. Haven't found out what caused it yet.
But when do you get this error, as it would be very coincidental if you are referring to the same game as Hockey_Rulez11. Because he never mentioned the nam of the game.

I have also innstalled netcfv35, but have not done anything with this file after installing it.
In remove programs the program name is: Microsoft .net CF 3.5 so I think everything is ok, but if there is any thing you have to to after the installation I have not done that.

Same with firefox

Is there a solution to this problem, I still can't download files (I.E. APK's or ZIP's) from any browser.
Thanks in advance!
p.s. I tried "Download all files" and "ByteTornado Downloader" without any luck, even tried "Astro File Manager" and setting the box to have 'Enable browser downloads' enabled, even that didnt help, any advice would be fkin awesome

It appears that link is taking you to several throttled download sites. For Rapidshare, when you click download you start a very annoying download counter that does not actually give you a downlo0ad button until it counts down. It appears you are getting a download, but until you wait and the download button turns green, you did not.

For the help of it..I just downloaded the file no problem with FireFox..use stock browser to browse went to megaupload..copied url. And downloaded with FireFox..no problems.

ya, but if you leave firefox, the download stops!

I have this issue when I tried to download more than one file. The first one works fine but the second file will stop immediately after it start to download. Then it just wouldn't download properly even after the first file completed. Maybe is some multiple download bug?
