I just got a Verizon Touch Pro and I'm trying replace my ROM Opera Mobile (9.5b2392) with the newest Opera Mobile from their website (9.51b2723).
I installed the new version on to the device memory.
It looks a lot nicer and seems faster.
I have the new version set to default (the old version doesn't have that option).
When I use a program that has links and opens the system default browser when clicked, upon initially opening a program (say profimail, but it's not only with that program), it opens up the old opera when I click a link. If I close the old opera, click the link again, it opens up the new opera. If I close the program, go back in and click a link, I get the old opera again.
Any ideas? I hoping there's someway to just totally disable the ROM Opera Mobile.
The ROM Opera is also in programs too, not sure if there's a way to remove it from there, but I guess I could live with that.
Delete new Opera.
Get new Opera's cab.
Install new Opera.
It should replace old Opera.
You need to try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401643
That's what I did.
I just uninstalled new opera from the device, then reinstalled onto the storage card and now it appears to be working as intended.
Should it have worked installed to the device? Looks like it was conflicting that way somehow.
Only problems left are that I can't get rid of the old icon in programs....and that it doesn't go landscape when I rotate the device, only when the keyboard is open. The old Opera did rotate along with the device.
Was the ROM Opera some special build from Verizon that used the accelerometer?
Also, the browser link in TouchFlo3D still opens the old Opera. Any way to change that?
Any ideas on how to get the new Opera to use the accelerometer? Is that possible?

I replied to your howardforums thread. I got it to work.
Basically you need to install two programs, they are listed here
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?p=11993391#post11993391
The Gyrator 2 to use the accelerometer
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407777
to replace the TF3D operal.exe with the new one.
After some work, I got both working.
That's great. Thanks!

Hello guys,
I have been away for some time now, but I would like to know if any of you found any solution for these 2 problems with opera 9.5 and our devices:
1st: the scroll wheel zoom feature: In my device spinning the wheel just makes me pan horizontally, doesn't matter what i do or configure. I made some searches but found nothing about it.
2nd: linking problem: with opera 8.X i could select the browser to act as "default". Therefore, whenever I opened a link from my mail application (for example), opera handled it. Now, with 9.5, only Internet explorer handles my links.
Can anyone give me a clue?
Thanks!
I don't thjnk there is currently a fix for the zoom issue.
To set up Opera as the default, go to:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai/:MSPIE
Change value 1 to OperaL.exe

Just Perfect bro!
Thanks a lot!
To bad we don't have and solution for zooming with the scrool. I have read somewhere here that one of udk's roms did that!
Cheers
I have just downloaded and installed opera mobile 9.5 build 1409.
It's all right but I realized that there are two problems not solved:
1. It is impossible to use a different type systems but the standard one (you have to use stylus).
2. opera mobile 9.5 is not syncronizable with Opera 9.51 for desktop.
Can anyone tell me something about?
Is it possible that the previous release run You Tube videos and this one doesn't?
Thanks & Bye.
I was using TyTN II before I got the fuze, and using opera on the TyTN II I could access hotmail and google reader's iphone interface through opera mobile(not opera mini). However I can not do that on the opera browser on the fuze. When I install macromedia flash player 7 google reader starts to work(however without the stars to mark the items) but on a soft reset it stops working, the starting page loads up but the items do not display. The same goes for hotmail which works with a fresh install of flash player 7(again inbox displays but nothing happens on clicking e-mail items) and stops working on a soft reset. I am confused as to what is happening here. Sorry if this has been answered, I could not find it. Any help would be appreciated. I don't want to change the user agent as that renders cingular video unusable for me.
Still looking for help on this issue......
I know what you mean. On my "good old" HTC Touch I could do almost anything with Opera, but now I can't with my Pro.
If anybody knows something more about this, please help us. I would really use my online stock-trader application again; now I'm stuck with the mobile version...
BTW, Could it possible be a JAVA-issue? Somewhere oOn JAVA.COM I read that they don't support Windows Mobile anymore?
Edit: just saw the Title: "Javascript in Opera Mobile", so it IS a JAVA-issue I guess...
Ya, I would have said to change the user agent, but you said you don't want to do that. As far as flash I didn't think that Opera supported it. Skyfire does. It does pretty well actually, to the point you can watch you tube videos on the actuall website. not the mobile site. It isn't quite as good of resolution, but you might want to give it a shot.
It's weird that the things I mentioned were wokring fine on opera mobile on my TyTN II, but have problems on the fuze. Like I said after a fresh install of macromedia flash player 7, they seem to work partially but stop working after a soft reset. There is got to be a solution to this. Advanced users help please.
are you talking about this? It works fine on mine.
[edit]
I don't know how exactly everything's supposed to work, but some portions don't work for me either, even under ie and firefox (desktop)
I think this is related with some kind of ajax library not fully supported in this current Opera Mobile version. As far as I can see for example at http://www.google.com/ig/i the igoogle gadgets simply don't get their content displayed (maybe a problem with iframe refresh?)
I add it working though with the latest OperaMobile cab version downloaded from Opera's website.
Is there a way to have that one running just like the preinstalled one and not as an alternate browser?
Just found another mobile browser, called "Irisbrowser", that almost supports anything. IMO its better than Opera but hasn't got the nice looks of Opera. But works fine with Flash/JAVA etc.
If any of you still have any problems with Opera, you can install and try the Beta version of Irisbrowser. It's available for free at http://www.irisbrowser.com/
I'm currently running Opera Mobile 9.5.15202 (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459378) and, at least with http://google.com/ig/i, it just works great!

Have you tried Skyfire?
Hey,
Did anyone here succeed to install and run the new Opera Mobile beta? I installed the beta, but can't run the program - nothing happens. I just click on the program and nothing opens, however the originally supplied Opera works just fine.
No... I couldn't get it on either. Whilst I appreciate that Opera opens so quickly, it sucks that they've integrated it into TF3D and haven't thought about upgrades...
well i did install it but i`m not 100% if it works,
I`ll tell you what happens:
after install i go into Start and press ADD program - u must scroll down a little and at the end (under the default simple Opera, there it is "Opera 9.5"
the browser opens just fine but to be honest i c no major diffrence (Java does not work either) so i`m thinking it is not rly the 9.5 beta2 that is working - maybe i`m still running the integrated 1

Open the main menu of the browser, and go to Help. Scroll down a bit, you should see the version there.
The default (built-in) browser is 9.5?

Yeah, version 9.5, build 16277.
Anyone wanna dig through registry and se? I guess the "browser" button points to a specific program directory..
Perhaps try and replace the opera 9.5 files with the beta2 one? I might when i get home.
Hello,
I installed Opera 10 Beta 1, which totally sucks for me. I cannot browse a site, because it just freezes.
Do anyone know how to get the old original back, without hard-reseting? I think it was 9.7 or something, but I cannot find it, on Opera's site.
Thanks.
On my device Opera 10 install itself into a new folder and I could use Opera 9 and 10 simultaneously. Uninstall Opera10 via Start>Settings>Remove Application should revert your device to the "original " state. If IE is now your default browser you can set it back to Opera 9 with this cab.
That's right:
Uninstall Opera 10, the old one is still on your device... (In my case, dutch original: rom 9.5)
It might not be your default browser anymore (as I experienced) but you can still find it in your programs list...
I have the solution
I've done some digging and found a solution!
Why would you want to change back to 9.7? Because the browser works better than Opera 10, as 10 is just a Beta..
1. Uninstall Opera 10 Beta from Start / Setting / System / Remove Programs
2. Download Opera 9.7 from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=R148IQ5V
3. Enable Zoombar

That worked fine for me. G-sensor is working, "Launch Browser" works, and URL's from Twitter tab is working
Thanks
It's was really helpful!
You can get it here: ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/android/mobile/10.1/
Won't open for me. I installed it and whenever I try to open it, it says "Opera Mobile" and then it just closes. Doesn't say anything about a force close, just closes...
Update: uninstalled and reinstalled and this time did not move it to SD card. It works now but it is quite a large file. 21 mb installed on phone. I'll give it a try, though, and see if it is any better than opera mini (which I currently use).
What is supposed to make it better than opera mini, anyway?

Its their full browser experience
It's not what it used to be compared to the progress the native Android browser has become. When I was using wm 6+ it was the **** though.
astro?
used astro but it wont install
So far the browser has perfect for me in every way except there is no pinch to zoom. Hopefully this gets added quickly.
better link
pinch is working great. Turbo is fast. loaded engadget in under 4 sec
http://www.eurodroid.com/2010/11/android-opera-mobile-10-1-beta-available-now-via-operas-ftp-site/
It is available in the market now as well.
Flash doesn't work with it?
It looks like opera has their own version of the market. When I looked at one of the default links on the start page it brought a list of software. It is faster for me than the stock. I don't think it will do flash. I know the new skyfire beta will.
I really like Opera and Firefox BUT why is it that 3rd party browsers haven't gotten their "flash act" together yet? With a stock browser that works well PLUS has flash, I just find myself skipping over Opera Mini, Skyfire (the flash is great but the brower experience is lacking) and most recently, Firefox.
If they could just combine some of the basics (flash) of our native browser with their excellent browser experience, I think lots and lots of people would jump ship.
Thanks for the heads up post guys.
No flash = No go for me!!! I'll stick to either the stock browser or Dolphin HD (the tabbed browsing, themes and plug-ins available are awesome, btw!!!)
I tried it out. it stopped zooming in and out even if i force closed it and restarted it. Tried changing options and whatnot too. No go. So I just uninstalled it. My web browsing is too important not to be able to zoom and read stuff lol.
I know it's a beta though. Maybe the final product i'll give a go round.
Imma try the skyfire beta. I use dolphin HD for everythign right now and it's great.
Once the MIUI browser gets reflowing imma prolly use that for everything.
