This maybe a really dumb question but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.
I just installed Opera Mini v4.0 on my Trinity running WM6 rom and was just curious as to where the Temporary internet files are stored? Do I need to clear them like I do with Internet Explorer Mobile?
there are no temp internet files. no cache, nothing. nothing to clear
Wow, that is awsome and the fact that it is able to load so fast. This will be my main browser going forward.
I use FTouchFlo, how would I put Opera Mini in the exclude list since it has built in scroll? Or do I even have to do that?
i would like to know how it is possible to start opera mini directly from a shortcut. I tried with parameter "-run S1_" but doesn't work.
Anyone knows a solution. Java is called "mobile_java.exe".
Hi Everyone
I'm having trouble installing the latest Opera Mobile beta (1938) on my raphael.
I Tried overwriting the files on my /windows folder, but i have an "access denied" error (opera it's not running, obviously)
I even tried the cab installer, but it can't uninstall the old version...
Any solutions?
I had the same problem, but on my HTC Universal. Some of the older builds of Opera 9.5 were really quite buggy, and did not uninstall properly. I solved the problem by booting in the safe mode of SPB Pocket Plus, uninstalling my older build of Opera from there, and installing the new build 1938. This worked for me without needing a hard reset, good luck!
I fixed my problem using Resco File Explorer
Files were overwritten successfully.
Is there much improvement over the opera that came on the device?
It's not a big deal, but it seems a little faster and a little less buggy.
No side effects until now, so, it's worth a try
Be sure to backup your old opera exe(s), just in case.
cookies
I have a banking website that tells me I don't have cookies enabled... but I do.
Site in question worked on Opera 9.5 beta on my previous device (Trinity).
My opera.ini file has cookie level 3 (enable all cookies) (which is default... i didn't change it)
Any suggestions?
I used resco to overwrite the 3 files in the windows folder. it seems to have worked, but when I go to about opera in opera, it still says 1522.
EDIT: just checked in the explorer, and there are two copies of every file. Instead of overwriting, i now have Opera9 and Opera9.exe, OperaPreL and OperaPreL.exe.
EDIT2: Solved! I used Resco to remove the *.exe files, as they were the old Opera. For some reason it used those insread of the new ones. Anyway, deleting Opera9.exe and OperaPreL.exe but leaving Opera9 and OperaPrel now launches the new 1938 build of Opera.
I installed Skyfire (oops) when I first got the device. Didnt work.
Then I uninstalled it.
It reset the default browser to PIE.
The built in Opera doesn't have an option to make it the default browser.
Installing the latest build of opera solves the problem - although (edit: some of ) the shortcuts still launch the internal version, but uninstalling it sets the default browser back to PIE.
Driving me kind of crazy at the moment. Tried looking for registry settings but I always get a bit lost.
Any ideas?
Hello,
Just wondering which browser is better
Opera Mini - http://www.operamini.com/
Or
Opera Mobile - http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/
Or
Opera Mobile HTC Diamond Version -(Not Sure If I Can Post Link So I Just Wont)
Im Not Sure If There's Even A Difference With The Diamond Version And The One On The Opera Website but I thought I go ahead and ask??
What Is The Difference In The Two or Three
I Really Like Opera Mini The Pages Load Up Really Fast - and I only have the T-mobile 5.99 internet plan
But Which One Is Better???
Thanks
Opera 9.5 Beta Rocks!!
i have tried all the diff diamond versions available. They all come down to one thing. Proper performance stability is not there. Opera Diamond crashes now and then on extensive browsing.
But not since i started using Opera 9.5 Beta. Its really stable and i must say optimised for other devices.
I even changed the Opera 9.5 Beta.lnk to Opera 9.5 so i dont see the beta. keke
Opera mini....never really was a big fan of those Java apps...atleast not on me htc
I found page rendering poor on Opera 9.5, Had to scroll to see the whole page, fonts seemed to be out of proportion. So I kept Opera 9.5 on my Universal and gave up on it altogether on my Elf.

I should try the beta version I never tried it I always assumed the Diamond Version was better.
You Are Right About Java its not the best thing
I will look into the beta version and see how it goes
Thanks

on the contrary, i found the 9.5 beta page rendering to be very smooth and fonts are all in proportion. i never use Opera over gprs, always on wifi. cud that be ur problem i wonder?
Mini - but you need to work on it!
I use mini all the time - I've just gone back to my elf after trying out kaisers and nikes for a couple of months... The speed of mini means that you get the same performance without 3G!
I've got a shortcut to Mini, so that I can launch it from an icon or menu without loading java first, and a script that makles it work with url links from emails.
Important though is what version you get - if you get the default, you get an unsigned version, and prompted to allow web access every time you launch - big nono... so go to mini.opera.com on your phone, then select download an older or alternative version, and you get the option to download a signed version, which you can trhen use without being prompted every time.
Done this way, mini works brilliantly.

I tried The beta Its OK But, I Still Like The Mini Its Alot Faster Loads My Pages In Seconds (On GPRS)
How did you get the shortcut I've been wanting to do the same thing -
Thanks about telling me about the trusted version i hate that it always ask me the untrusted app.
Thanks
Opera Mini setup stuff
Because Opera Mini is cached on Operas servers, you get 3G speeds from a GPRS connection - honest! It's enought to persuade me to go back to my Elf from a Nike, because I think the wifi is more useful than 3G and a slidy keypad!
You need Java or Jbed installed
Clear out all exitsing java apps by deleting the contents of Windows\AppDB
Open Java
From the Menu, select Install..Browser
Go to mini.opera.com
Don't install the version on screen (it has no certificate, is unsigned), click on 'install a previous version' - then you'll get a list of versions that are signed - select the Multiple Certificates one.
Go through the install, check its working, and exit
The attached shortcut will launch opera mini. It assumes that Opera Mini is the first Java app installed. If you have other java apps installed, check the appdb folder and modify the shortcut (copy it to your PC, open Notepad and drag the shortcut into it)
The attached CAB makes Opera Mini the default browser for URLs in mail links etc... it uses Mortscript, which is included. Just install it, but then copy the attached OMInvokeAndPasteScript.mscr to overwrite the existing one in Windows (The new version of mini puts 'www' in front of addresses, this script is modified to remove it when pasting a full link in)
Good luck.

Very Nice!!! Thanks For Sharing I Really Like The Shortcut Is there A way to change the way the icon looks (the internet explorer image)
Thanks
i also use Opera Mini on my Elf all th way... need not to say th advantages, Opera Mobile was just way too much memory hogging n slow-responsive!!
Mini all the way
i have been a fan of opera mini for quite some time now..and the speeds i get over gprs are decent enough for browsing ( and posting here on xda) and downloading small files...
i think however, the choice of Java used does impact the experience...but that is another discussion altogether..
the product is free, with 'almost' regular updates, with hardly any issues for me...

Open up internet.lnk in a text editor, you can see the code... if you want to use the icon from someting else, make a short cut to that too, then copy the code over...
wow - top work TT ... mini is great! I tried and liked Opera Mobile 9.5 ... for about 15 seconds until I'd run out of memory :-S
question regarding your tips on how to change the icon. i too would like to have an opera icon in my HTC Today screen instead of the IE ... but unless I'm missing something, the only way I could do this would be to have the full opera installed and to refer to it in the shortcut file to get the icon.
as the whole thing is several MB, I was pleased to delete it from my device to free up memory. so what's the trick to get an opera icon? does someone (cleverer than me) need to write a little 10kb exe file with the right icon? or has someone already done so ;-)
thanks a lot for the great tips...

I haven't Tried It But All You Might Need Is the Opera.exe from the Mobile Version
I Posted The Link ToThe Opera.exe File Below
http://rapidshare.com/files/140684454/Opera.exe.html
you can also rename the file to Opera Mini.exe
Let Me Know If It Works
hmm - only problem being that's a 6mb file ... i want something about 1/100th of the size otherwise I lose (needed) system memory. I'll keep looking

Hey!
Try the attached 5.5KB Shell4Icon.dll and tell me if it works !
This is just a res_hacked dll !
And I just thought it would be great if someone expert made from scratch
a *.dll only with resources
as a shell containing the icons we need for shortcuts!
Anyway,
the ID # for the Opera icon is 20797, so your link should be like this:
Code:
"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_ ?\Windows\Shell4Icon.dll,-20797
There is also an icon for Messenger you might use, with ID # 20298!
Regards!
ps:Since the poll shows OperaMini as the winner , I'm attaching a combination of 2 OEM Packages for those who want to have OperaMini precooked in their rom!
[Both OperaMini&Esmertec Jbed are older versions but they are lighter than the newer and save enough ROM space!Try&see!]
kokotas
nice one. actually i just found a solution myself! i forgot all about the nice HTC Home Customizer here on xda ... just installed that temporarily and used it to change the icon to a .png file I found on the internet. easy!
to elaborate a bit further about what i tried this morning (when i should have been working...)
i tried creating my own little exe file with the icon i wanted, to use for the link to opera mini. i used the mortscript.exe, copied it to my desktop and used some software i downloaded (iconchanger38.exe) to change the icon to an opera one.
when viewed on the desktop, it had an opera icon.
when viewed from GSFinder, it had an opera icon.
however, when i tried to select it as a button in my HTC Home launcher, you get the list of programs (where does this list come from? there's no obvious way of browsing to other files that it hasn't found) and there, bizarrely, i now had two choices ... one with IE icon, and one with MortScript icon! neither of which was really what i was looking for.
the program list doesn't list files, with extensions, just a list of programs. i got fed up trying to figure out how to hack this and gave up ...
... until it occurred to me to try the HHC solution which works well.
cheers

Thanks I Tried The Shell.dll but no luck ,
Thanks For The 2 Oem Packages
I also have a tmobile Wing (HTC Herald) and I noticed that most of the cooked roms have Opera Mini.
But For The ELF I Really Dont See It Cooked In The Roms - It Would Be Very Nice If We Have It precooked In Our Future Cooked Roms
(Cough Cough Touch ESSentiaL v2.0) LOL
Thanks

yeah that's what i meant
i know the debate which is better is not that easy, but 9.5 build 1938 is fast like lightning, it does open website in a 1-2 seconds with my gprs, so i like it best. opera mini are also great, but using the latest is my habit lol and when decide what to use in a ROM... it's not easy also, so we make it clean and ppl can choose
and with my 8mb PP, opera run very smooth on this tiny elf ..
I've got an official firmware with opera 9.5, thought that installing 9.7 will just simple update internal opera but no. Now I’ve got 2 operas. What should i do? Did new opera override internal registry settings?
Tried to disable internal opera loading by setting
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PushInternetEngine] "Enable"=dword:00000001
to 0
But now, when I press «exit – ok» phone freezes...
Crap...
Oh, the means better do not install new Opera right now.
Sympathetic to your experience
You cannot uninstall pre-installed Opera but you can disable it.
To disable pre-installed Opera (and free some memory) see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532948&highlight=Opera+free+memory
After disabling it, I have installed the new Opera and I use it when necessary.
Well ye, I've disabled internal and now I’m using 9.7 crap this firmware opera...
Guys, any way to enable autorotation when i rotate phone? And zoom line? In phone opera this thing were working, but in 9.7 they are not...
Use G-Config.
I prefer to not have Opera 9.7 auto-rotate but I use "Landscape" mode (tap and hold to get addition menu).
Can't see such option. Only bookmark, zoom, find and so on. No orientation option.
Any news guys? We all-ready have 6.5 firmware, but still have this old, crappy 9.5 opera. Any really good guide how to update it?
Does anyone know the windows mobile class name for Opera 9.7. I use gyrator program but i need the class name for opera 9.7
