How to make Opera mobile default browser again. - Touch Pro, Fuze General

Ok, I'm sure it's a quick fix but for some reason when I click on an email link, it opens PIE instead of Opera. I know I had it working with Opera but something must have changed it. I may have set SkyFire as default and then took it out but then it throws it to PIE rather than back to Opera when you disable SkyFire as default. Is there a quick fix for this? I rather not re-install Opera as every time I do it, flash-lite 3.1 gets screwed up some how where it never plays youtube videos (just hangs on loading video)
EDIT: Found the REG edit... DEV's, you can kill this one.

so what was the solution?

That's the solutions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3006453

Opera 9.5 issues: zoom and Links

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.

Touch Pro - Replacing ROM Opera

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!

Opera Mobile 10.1 Released

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.

Always asks to set default browser

I can't find this exact problem on here, so I'm risking posting a thread.
I installed Opera mini and mobile on my sidekick and now it always asks what browser to use when I click on any link (or when I search on google and it redirects). It never remembers if I check the box to set the default. Never ever. After a hundred tries. After deleting the default in the settings. Reboots galore. Nothing. Still asks. It's so annoying I can't stand to use web on the phone at all. At least I no longer even come close to my data cap these days.
In the settings it has the built in Web set the default, and none of the other Opera browsers are set as the default. So it's not got two browsers set, which was my theory at first.
I guess I should delete every third party browser.... any other suggestions?

If you want a good browser with data compression, I've found that UCWebrowser and Ninesky work great. I used to love Opera Mini but then came those damn reboots after the recent updates to the newer versions.

I have the same problem with Dolphin Browser which updates virtually every week and with every update, the "Default Browser" setting needs to be re-selected. One of those quirky Android things. however if it is between updates, it may be an Opera thing.
de-installed opera, crossing fingers

Yes it was in between updates. And yes, opera's updates were annoying me, actually.
I de-installed both operas, then rebooted. Then when I went to a link (whilst already in the default web browser) it then asked about whether it should use Textonly, which is something I'd installed long ago, but it never asked about before on the list of possible browsers.
It seems to be remembering to use just Web now that opera is gone. Thank the goddess! And thanks for your help. The relief I feel really shows how aggravating this had become.

[Q] CromXi browsing problem

Hi there,
I'm new, so I can not post a message in the dev forum yet. So i hope someone can help me out.
I flashed my girlfriends tf300t with CromXi 4.7. Everything works butter smooth, but do not use the disable fsync feature. To risky for me.
The problem I have is with browsing some websites. I will give you 2 urls.
zalando.nl
tablet.hm.com
When broswing to zalando, with the default browser, chrome or dolphin with jetpack, i get the error message "....doublickick.net url not found" in to frames on the main page.
I already removed the ad blocker app, but still no result. On my iPad it shows perfect and I can not figure out what the problem is. On any other android tablet it also works perfectly. So CromXi is blocking doubleclick some how.
When browsing to tablet.hm.com (yes, she likes shopping online) with the dolphin browser and you click for instance man -> schoenen and scroll down, you see the main top bar rebuilding itself. This does not happen with chrome or the default browser.
Dolphin is still the best browser of them all.
The irritating thing with the default browser is that the url bar disappears when you stop scrolling. I can not figure out how to disable this "feature".
I don't want to use chrome, because it's irritatingly slow. Same goes for firefox.
Hope you can help me out.
Solved the problem on tablet.hm.com. It was the Jetpack. After disabling it, the top menu bar stayd while scrolling and didn't rebuild it self.
Leaves the doublick.net block with every browser. Strange problem.....

Maybe try boat browser? Or in dolphin set ipad in browser mode (i dont rremember if it is possible)?
In boat u can set ipad, but it works even in "normal" (mobile) mode.
Boat look similar to chrome
Sent using tf300t - CROMI-X/Hundsbuah
Well the problem is with every browser, not just dolphin. And it is on the tf300.
So when browsing to zalando.nl with Chrome, Dolphin or the default browser on the TF300T with CROMI-X, I see page could not be found with the url ....doubleclick.net. I also have this on othe webpages who uses doubleclick.net.
The same happens when searching in google and clicking an advertisement link in the top of the page. the error shown sais "Page not available. ....googleadservices.com/.....". This is also in chrome, dolphin and the default browser.
I have no idea what the problem is and it looks like its blocking advertisement links.
It's definately not the network, because i don't see the error on a galaxy tab with the stock rom or ipad. I also didn't have this problem with the stock Asus Rom. So it has to be something in Cromi-X.
I already removed the adblocker, but still the problem remains.

SOLVED
Oke, so it's ofcourse my mistake.
What I did was disable the adaway blocker through configuration - apps. I just disabled the app. What i didn't know was that the app changed the hosts file. So after reenabling the app and disabling it through the app itself, it showed my the message to restore the default hosts file.
After a reboot everything works just perfectly!!
