Opera Mobile, which is by far the best Pocket PC Web browser, being a newcomer on the Pocket PC, still has some issues that should be fixed by hand. This is especially important to Dell Axim x50(v) and HP iPAQ hx4700 users if they have upgraded to WM5 and, therefore, should always strive to reduce write/deletion operations in the main storage to avoid filesys.exe sessions.
In the following, I give you a complete tutorial on how everything can be relocated to the storage card.
install Opera to the storage card. I assume you install it to \Program Files\Opera (the WM5 default) on your storage card, which has the name \SD Card.
get this registry import file. You'll need to modify it after, probably, changing the \\SD Card\\Program Files\\Opera occurrences to the particular path of your device if needed. For example, if you have installed Opera to a directory Opera86 your storage card named Storage Card, then, just change all occurrences of \\SD Card\\Program Files\\Opera to \\Storage Card\\Opera86.
I recommend for example the built-in Notepad in Windows to do this. Just open the registry file with Notepad, press Ctrl-H (Edit/Replace), copy the string \\SD Card\\Program Files\\Opera to the “Find what:” text input field and the new path (with, again, double backslashes!) to “Replace with:”. Then, just save the file and exit Notepad.
import it to the Registry with a Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00-compatible registry editor like Resco Registry Editor. This will make sure references to Opera.exe are all OK.
create an OperaData directory in the root directory of your storage card
get this file; unzip it to the just-created OperaData directory of your storage card. This means that, for example, the vlink4.dat file should be in the directory \<Storage card name>\OperaData\Opera.
go to \Application Data\Opera in the main storage and delete everything, including all the subdirectories, except for the following two files:
english.lng
input.ini
and the skins subdirectory (the latter can't be relocated, even if you appropriately modify Button Set in opera.ini).
Incidentally, if you’d prefer one-page-at-a-time scrolling (as opposed to the default one – that is, link-by-link), overwrite input.ini with this file.
now, get this file (opera.ini) and change all occurrences of SD Card to the name of your storage card in the way I’ve explained above in step 2. Copy the this way edited file to \Application Data\Opera in the main storage.
Now, you’re all set – you can run Opera right away. It’ll only write to one file in the main storage, opera6.adr, which contains the favorites (this means no writing will take place if you don’t explicitly add a new favorite / delete / edit an old one – this is certainly good news for all Dell Axim x50(v) and HP iPAQ hx4700 WM5 users). Every other write operation will happen on the storage card.
If you don’t want to recreate your existing favorites/cookies
Note that if you want to save your (existing) cookies and favorites (because you’ve been using Opera), make sure you do NOT delete opera6.adr (favorites) in step 5. Also, make sure you transfer your existing cookies4.dat to the storage card (into \OperaData\Opera) so that your existing cookies will still be accessible.
wow! a comprehensive guide. even if it involves several steps, this would b worth d effort. i hope it would work on my HTC univ.
BTW, is there a way 2 map d IE button (d 1 w/ d e icon/logo) on d univ 2 open opera & not IE?
Hi Menneisyys, please can you advise on the above process, vs the simple .reg import on your blog. Is the above for versions pre 8.60 - or is this required for 8.60 too?

You mean the REG fix for the file association bug present even in 8.60?
Yes: so if I understand given this insight:
- The bolog refers to file association only
- The above refers to being able to click a link when opera is installed on an SD card (ie default behaviour)

Also the cache. You must apply the blog REG hack when you don't want to relocate the cahce. If you also want to relocate the cache, you need to follow the above tutorial - in addition to my file association fix
Hell, did all of this (and later the other reg file to fix the file association issue) and altho Opera seems to be running fine, I still have my initial problem:
When i click a link I get either nothing (eg a link in spb Insight) or the 'trusted certificate' issue (eg clicking a html file in total commander).
Everything works fine if I install Opera in the default location (ie internal memory) - but it's HUGE and no faster when installed there.

Are you absolutely sure your registry changes were flushed back to the Flash ROM? Can you export the affected values so that I can take a look at them?
Thank you Menneisyys. I was looking for this on pocketpcmag.com 2 weeks ago but couldn't find it. Once again, you've come to the rescue.
And craigiecraigie4, i have the same issue when clicking links from emails. I just copy and paste them over to the browser, but if theres a solution to this, it'd be great.

Hi,
I am new around here , sorry if this seems a very basic question, and yes I have tried the search function.
I am having difficulty viewing the extended rom on my Magician (originally a MDA Compact, but flashed with I-Mate Jam Rom). If I perform a hard reset, and then a soft reset before the customisation process starts, Extended_ROM is visible using File Explorer. However, if I do not perform the soft reset and let the customisation go ahead, Extended_ROM is not visible (I beleive this is normal behaviour).
My problem is that when using Total Commander and typing in "Extended_ROM" in the path field I still cannot see it. This works on my Universal (O2 Exec) with no problems even though Extended_ROM is invisible in File Explorer.
What am I doing wrong? Am I typing the wrong path name or do I need some other "tool" to view the Extended_ROM?
Thanks,
P.
You're at 50% with your question. The customization removes the loadvdisk.lnk from startup folder. Regular file explorer cannot see the loadvdisk.exe in windows, but resco file explorer can with the option to view hidden files too.
Or connect to your PC with Act.Sync & browse the magician with explorer, make sure hidden fikes can be seen. Now you can create a shortcut in startup folder and execute it from your magician.
Or do the hard-&softreset trick again & make a copy of the loadvdisk.lnk in storage or on sd.
Choice is up to you, they'll all make the ext-rom visible.
Personally I'll go for resco file explorer. Gives you a registry editor & ftp client as well. Very handy tool.
Cheers, M
Thanks,
I will try out Resco Explorer and see what happens.
Cheers,
Paul
Don't forget to select 'show all files' on the browser tab in the files -> options menu.
Hello,
I have a MDA Wizard and have been trying to change the default location of the files transferred to the storage card with no success. I changed the BaseDir value in the registry, but it does not work. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
yea me too, im looking for a solution. changed BaseDir and even change the My Documents path to Storage Card. Nothing so far. anyone know?
New location for files received by bluetooth
I came accross this program in this forum somewhere. Really good. Give it a try.
Just run the cab file and soft reset. After that, run the program whenever you want to switch bluetooth on and it puts a bluetooth icon on the system tray. double click icon and go to settings and set the dir where you want to receive the file and you're ready to go.
I've tried getting a really big file too just to see if this merely moves the file to the other location after receiving or actually changes the location of incoming files and found out it changes the location.
Let me know if this works for you.

and Version 1.5 Coming Soon
Partial Success...
This is an old thread but I think is directly related to what I'm trying to do. I've seen many other threads trying to solve the same problem, so I won't create a new one. Anyway, first, here is the info:
AT&T 8525
HERM: 100
ROM: 3.62.502.3 (Offical AT&T)
Results:
Successfully transfered 2 test files from my laptop (XP SP2 Tosiba Bluetooth 4.00.22D) directly to my storage card:
AdbeRdr80_en_US.exe - 21,822,168 bytes
Tears of a Dragon.mp4 - 8,572,344 bytes
How:
Added a STRING value BaseDir to the HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OBEX\{000...} set to: "/Storage Card/"
Problem / Temporary Solution:
Using Resco I can see the file in the Storage Card as soon as the beam is over, however the OBEX prompts you if you want to save the file or not. If you click NO the file gets deleted. If you click YES, the file gets moved after two seconds to \My Documents or some files just go nowhere(?). So before I actually answer the prompt, I just copy the file elsewhere on my card and then click NO on the prompt.
Analysis / Conclusions (so far):
1. The official AT&T ROM does not have OBEX FTP service installed (obexfile.dll). It only has the OBEX Default Inbox service (obexinbx.dll).
2. The obexinbx.dll is not behaving as expected. Ex: Why "/Storage Card/" vs. "\Storage card\"; Adding the DWORD value DisableUI does not eliminate the prompts as it should; If I delete the TransportAuntheticate value in the same key, it just reappears, yet the dll is not supposed to use that value as per MSDN2.
Could somebody try to duplicate my results and/or see if there is a way to disable the prompts? Thanks in advance!
Has anyone tried this? Please?
Here are some screenshots to better explain what is happening:
1. Add BaseDir value to the OBEX key.
2. Send test file from my laptop.
3. PPC displays 1st UI prompt (recfileprompt.jpg)
4. Laptop displays progress indicator for file transfer. (progress.jpg)
5. When transfer is complete, PPC display 2nd UI prompt. (uiprompt.jpg)
6. I can confirm the test file did transfer to the SD card (fileinssdcard.jpg)
7. If I click on YES the file disappears (but some files get moved to \My Documents). If I Click NO the file disappears.
So... Is there a way to get rid of these prompts? Or to make them not move or delete the file once is in the SD Card?
Thanks,

Unfortunately, the contents of my HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OBEX\ are the folders Services and Transport. There is no {0000-0000...} folder there. It exists though in the folder Services, so for my device, it is HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OBEX\SERVICES\{0000...}. After adding the key, the temporary storage for the received file is ideed SD Card so I can grab it before responding to the prompt.
Nevertheless, either if I respond YES or NO for the file save prompt, the file is deleted from SD Card and does not reappear anywhere on the device, so it does not get moved, but deleted.
Notes:
For me it does not matter weather I write "/Storage Card/" or "\Storage Card\", it still receives to Storage Card, but regardless of what I choose, YES or NO, it deletes the file.

Exactly. This is the best I could get it to work, by just copying or moving the file to another SD Card location (or renaming it) before responding to the prompt. Anyway, this is kind of an old post. I had orginally done this since Dr. Yar crashed on my phone. Since then, I discovered HTC Bluetooth FTP Explorer 1.2, which adds an FTP tab to your Bluetooth Connections settings, where you can specify the default location for incoming bluetooth files.
Thanks for trying it out though!
PS,
I was trying to upload HTC Bluetooth cab, but there is a problem with the database. Anyway, I got it from VP3G's AddOn pack in the Hermes forum. A quick search should find it for you.

I don't know whether you are referring to this (which is inside my rom), but look at my settings. Even with these, Bluetooth still receives to Device and saves to Device\My Documents.

Yes. That's it. It works fine for me. Is your SD Card name "Storage Card"? I would also try using the browse button and selecting different folders inside the SD Card.

Just tried. Same thing!
Well. That is strange. I don't have a Trinity. I have a Hermes. What I would do at this point, is first, try installing the BT FTP cab over your existing one (backup first!). If that doesn't work, try removing/re-inserting the SD Card and also if possible another SD Card. Could there be a write access-protect restriction on your card that forces the OS to use the default My Documents location?
Anyway I have to go back now to my other life , but if I think of something else I'll let you know. Sorry you have problems
OBEX vs FTP
That bluetooth setting is only for FTP transfers. OBEX is the "native" transfer protocol that phones et al. use. Changing the setting for FTP received files doesn't alter the OBEX ones!
I'm going to try Dr Yar, but would love to find a registry setting for this!
I've just found this one as a cure, about to try it..

Does anyone know if there is way to put the email and internet explorer storage onto the external memory card, as they eat up my my phones memory.
There is properly a registery setting to do this.
Good question. Allow me to add one more ..
I've installed Opera 8.65 on Storage Card. Does that mean the browser cache is also on Storage Card?
I found this.
1. To move email onto your memory card (SEE WARNING BELOW), do the following:
Create these directories:
\Storage Card\Mail
\Storage Card\Mail\Attachments
In HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\MAPI, create the following STRING entries:
AttachPath = "\Storage Card\Mail\Attachments" (without the quotes)
PropertyPath = "\Storage Card\Mail" (ditto)
2. To move your Internet Explorer settings onto the card, do the following:
Create these directories:
\Storage Card\IECache\Temporary Internet Files
\Storage Card\IECache\Cookies
\Storage Card\IECache\History
EDIT : Do not use the Temp folder on your storage card, this seems to get locked from time to time, which means your ppc starts to use the default storage aka your main memory.
In HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders, edit the existing three registry entries (pointing \Windows\Profiles\guest\…) to match the folders you just created.
Well done
I'll try to find the Opera settings.

I found this on another forum:
Move data and cache around to save memory
By default Opera installed a bunch of files and keeps cache in precious application data space (RAM). At least with the WM2003se version. By moving all of these files to a CF Card or SD memory stick you free up valuable RAM.
1) Edit the "Opera.ini" file located in "\Application Data\Opera"
2) Go to the "[User Prefs]" group
3) Change "Opera Directory=\Application Data\Opera" to a location that you would prefer such as "\cf card\opera"
4) Change "Help Directory=\Application Data\Opera\Help" to a location that you would prefer such as "\cf card\opera\help"
5) Move the following files and folders to the location that you specified above:
cach4 (folder)
help (folder)
imgcss (folder)
startpage (folder)
styles (folder)
chartables.bin
cookies4.dat
global.dat
opcacrt6.dat
opera.dir
oprand.dat
opssl6.dat
viger.dat
vlink4.dat
You are left with these files/folders in "\Application Data\Opera"
skin (folder)
opera6.adr
input.ini
opera.ini
english.lng
The tutorial is missing one step: Change the startmenu to the storage card
I did this on my Vox and its working, more free ram!

You are the best my friend, thank you. It's work on Cingular3125
tried it and it's working like a charm great! now i can fully download my emails
e-mail storage card solution for HD2 also??
Do these fixes also work on HTC HD2?? I' m desperately trying to move the cache of e-mail to the storage card but nothing worked so far. Does this also mean there will be no complications with Sense and reading the e-mail tab? If this changes nothing but only the storage location (which I exactly want) to the storage card then this is the best thing since I got my HD2!

i figure out how to do it
I have run both the MoDaCo_CardInbox.CAB and Card_Cache.CAB. It seems to have partitioned my storage card. I now have Storage card with Inbox Folder and Pocket IE folder and Storage card2 with all the other files that are on the card. How do I undo this and get back to a working machine.

same thing happend for me. I removed "storage card manually"(because ity is a folder), then turned off the device, removed the micro sd card, and turn it on back.
when it is on again, insert the sd card, and everything came back for me.

Choice between Device and SD Card
Hello Bengalih,
is it possible that when i use the TierAutomatic Installer that i have the choise between the Telefon Memory or the Storage Card where the Programm has to be installed ?
I like to install the most of my Programms to the storage card to keep the Memory of the Phone free for the running Programms.
Or doesn´t this make sense ?
Greetings from germany

oooh great!
Awesome THANK YOU!
but 1 question/request
I have my cab directory sorted by different directories, is there a way to checkbox an entire directory? instead of adding each cab in config.sys?
i have directories like
\Storage Card\Games
\Storage Card\Tweaking
\Storage Card\System Tools
\Storage Card\Multimedia
etc. so it would be awesome to just check the entire directory to save overview
Awesome work dude - been looking for an installer like this that runs perfectly on non-UC compliant ROMs! This works flawlessly - thanks!!!!

change the default installation directory to your storage card using WinCE cab manager.

The Tiered Auto Installer works by using a built-in copy of Autorun. Since Autorun doesn't allow any user interaction, it is not possible to "choose" what location you want to install.
However, you can use a CAB editor tool to open up your .CAB, and change the default installation directory to "\Storage Card".
WinCE CAB Manager can do it with the trial version.
Thx for the answer
Thx for the answer. I will try the WinCE cab manager

Yes you can do this...with a little elbow grease:
From the TAutoInstall page...
It will find all cab files referenced in the config.txt as well as those found in \Windows, \Storage Card\Boot, \Storage Card, \Extended_ROM, and \Extended_ROM2.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note that the config.txt should be located in the same directory as TAutoInstall, which in my package is \Windows. I have found that if TAutoInstall is installed in another location with a space in the name (e.g. \Storage Card or \Program Files) that it won't function properly).
In addition the following quote:
Note: The default search directories can be overridden by a command line.
TAutoinstall.exe "\SomePath\folder1" "\SomeOtherPath\Folder2"
You can have up to 10 search paths.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In fact, this is the magic of how my packager is working. I have created a shortcut to run TAutoInstall with specific search directories, in this case \Storage Card\Cabs.
NOTE: When you specify directories on the command line it no longer checks the default directories listed above, but it will still check the config.txt file.
Unfortunately it doesn't check recursively, but you can have up to 10 paths. So, to do what you ask you will need to edit my .lnk file:
You need to open the .lnk file in a text editor.
You can copy the \Program Files\TAInstall\TAInstall.lnk to your PC via activesync.
Open it in WORDPAD, not NOTEPAD as it doesn't save them properly.
You will see my syntax:
47#"\Windows\TAutoinstall.exe" "Storage Card\Cabs"
Note the format, specifically the quotes and the number at the beginning. The number is the number of characters in the string minus anything before and including the #. So in the above link there are 50 characters minus 3 (47#). You can modify the shortcut for up to 10 paths, like so:
122#"\Windows\TAutoinstall.exe" "Storage Card\Cabs" "Storage Card\Cabs\Sub1" "Storage Card\Cabs\Sub2" "Storage Card\Cabs\Sub3"
Note that I updated the number to reflect the number of characters in the string minus 4 (122#).
I have not tested it with more than one path, but it should work. I also don't know if there are any limitations as to the maximum length of a shortcut, perhaps a developer would know.
Once you've edited it, copy TAInstall.lnk back to \Program Files\TAInstall\ and you should be good to go. If you have a problem, make sure that the shortcut is being save properly by your text editor. Remove everything you added and re-save and see if the .lnk file still works. If not, then you're text editor probably mangled it.
I would then make a backup copy of the lnk so you won't need to do it all over again.
simple 3-row Mortscript
another "solution" without UC could be a simple mortscript in the cab-directory:
It's not "unattended", but it will do the the job...and you can select the install directory....
ForEach CAB in files (Systempath("ScriptPath")&"\*.cab")

another "solution" without UC could be a simple mortscript in the cab-directory:
It's not "unattended", but it will do the the job...and you can select the install directory....
ForEach CAB in files (Systempath("ScriptPath")&"\*.cab")
RunWait (%CAB%)
EndForEach

Peter, could you be a bit more step by step with that, maybe putting it into a code box?
I get it, I can read it, I don't know what a "mort-script" in the "cab-directory" would look like (text file?) and where exactly it would go.
Thanks for this thread, guys!

just create a text file on your desktop computer and save it with the .mscr file-extension.
then copy this file including the mortscript.exe to your "cab" directory on your mobile machine. that's it
the "cab directory" is just the directory where you save these two files and all your cabs....
but as i said - this script will just call all setups, all necessary informations are manually - it's just like you click each
cab file seperately in file explorer...
attached you'll find my installer (sorry, the language is in german (NO, i'm NOT german, i'm from South-Liechtenstein )
and it'll write a registry key how many times you've started this script....the first time there is no message, if you run this
script more than once, there is a counter and it will remind you how many times you've started this script... (yeah, i like such things....)
i like the fact that i absolutely know what this script is doing, i can easily choose between storage and memory and if i want to
cancel a setup it's no problem
edit: english script (including mortscript exe is uploaded...hope that helps)

I have a feature-rich MortScript that I will be uploading shortly...you may like it better than the Tiered Installer....

Thanks Peter!! That should really help.
UC is good, but there are so many differences between ROMs that you're always editing the text file and thus prone to making it error out. Not to mention, the Lock/Unlock BS.
I've been using Tier Autoinstall in my ROMs for awhile. Even have a cab for non-cooked installation that puts a shortcut in the same place you do?!? funny how great minds think alike . I'll update this post to put in the link to the wiki about it (once the wiki is back up).

Hey welcome back _Alex_, I thought you were movin' on.
Yes, I actually discovered the Tiered AutoInstall first in your ROM I believe. I know you have a stand-alone UC (which I link on the front page), but never saw a stand-alone Tiered from you.
Although I like the check-box effect to install cabs, the current version of Tiered AutoInstaller (and thus my stand-alone version) is a little too limited for all but automated installs.
If you guys like, please check out my new VIP+bengalih RAW AutoInstaller. Fully MortScript based with quite a few more features!
Does anyone know where Opera mobile 9.5 stores bookmarks?
If I remember well is the file opera6
Sorry for my english
Ciao
\Windows\Opera9\fake\*****\oktoberfest\opera6.adr
On the Diamond there is a \Windows\Opera9 but none of the sub-directories cache, help, images, locale, secure, Settings, skin, styles, widgets look possible for bookmarks.
I was basically hoping to edit the default bookmarks directly (from windows), rather than enter each address and then save to favourites.
You can synchronise for favorites with your desktop.
Then import these Internet Explorer favorites into Opera with the "File-->Import and Export" menu. Now you can pick this opera6.adr from your desktop, and put it on your Diamond into "\windows\opera9\".
Another way of doing it is to use link.opera.com
Alas opera mobile doesn't support syncing wth it, but there is a workaround that's pretty easy.
Setup your bookmarks in opera on the desktop, (mac or pc or *nix or whatever) then set up the link, you'll need to sign up first..
Go to link.opera.com in opera mobile, sign in and when the page has loaded save it.
open the saved page and set it as a bookmark (I use the saved speedial page as my homepage in opera mobile).
It's a workaround, but it works and is easy to do, if you need to reflash your device and forget your bookmarks (as if :cough) then you can get them from opera link..
The reason for saving the page? It saves a bit of data transfer and time.
A Solution!
Worked For Me. To Get All Internet Explorer Bookmarks, First Install The Official Beta Off The Website(opera.com) or find opera6.adr from the original opera file that was already on your phone.
Install The Newest Build You Desire, Copy The "opera6.adr" from the original file and paste into the new builds file. Fire opera up and should be there. worked for me! Try It. If my directions were confusing, please forgive me. lol Its what i did tho.
could you post that file so i dont have to uninstall/reinstall.
Extra Help! =]
I Have Diamond Opera Installed On Device Memory.
I Downloaded This Build http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401643 But Any Should Work. So For My Example We Will Use This One.
Download Either QVGA Or VGA 2392 Or The SD Version. Its Up To You If You Want To Install On Device Memory Or Memory Card (SD).
If Your Device Originally Had Opera Mobile Of Any Version On It, Then Locate The Opera Folder. Mine Is "My Device/Application Data/Opera."
If You Didn't Have A Opera Browser On Your Phone Then Look Below For A Different Solution. Find The opera6.adr File Or It Will Just Say "opera6" On Your Device. Copy It And If You Installed Onto Device Memory Go To "My Device/Windows/Opera9" And Paste It. If You Installed Onto Memory Card Paste It In "My Device/Staorage Card/Program Files/Opera9" There You Go! That Simple!
If Your Device Didn't Originally Have Opera Of Any Version On It, Download This: http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/?man=Windows+Mobile+5.0+Pocket+PC&ver=9.51b2&heading=Windows%20Mobile%205/6%20Pocket%20PC&img=/bitmaps/products/mobile/platform/951b2.gif&extra=Touchscreen-based%20devices%20only.%20Last%20updated:%2020.10.2008
Install Onto Device Or Memory Card. Launch It. Bookmarks Should Be In There. Exit. Then Go To The Installed Location. For Devices Memory The File Should Be In "My Device/Program Files/Opera 9.5 Beta" And For Memory Card It Should Be In My Device/Storage Card/Program Files/Opera 9.5 Beta Aswell. Locate The opera6.adr File Or On Your Device It Will Just Show "opera6". Copy It And Paste Into The "Opera9" File (Assuming You Have Already Installed The Build You Desire) Which Is Located "My Device/Windows/Opera9" If Installed On Device Memory And For Storage Card The Location Is "My Device/Storage Card/Program Files/Opera9." Then Uninstall The Beta Version Load Up Your New Build And That Should Be It!
Hope It Works! And If Any Questions, Ill Try To Help.

install opera10 on your desktop pc..
import firefox or ie bookmarks..
edit your bookmarks..forexam. del or add
and then export bookmarks as bookmarks.adr
edit name as opera6.adr
copy it "windows\opera9" and overwrite..
