Opera Being EXTREMELY Intrusive

Since upgrading to new AT&T Rom and installing all of the bells and whistles you have all helped me with, I am having a problem. I installed a cab titled marioncopera9. While this version of opera works well, it wants to open everything. This includes any window I open in Weather Watcher or in anything requiring flash. When I uninstall this version of Opera, MarcSinger's weather watcher is still broken.
Any ideas besides start from scratch?
Also any better version of Opera besides the one I am running? The previous version I had will no longer run since flashing to the new HTC rom.
Am I asking the right questions or providing the right info?

What version of opera is it specifically?
Opera shouldn't do any of this, you may have an early, early version of the 9 rom (9 isn't out yet, but there are lots of early versions floating around).

It was touted as a 9 beta I believe. Any ideas where I can find the most recent "real release candidate?" I have been to Opera's website but for the life of me cannot get any version to install on my phone as I don't see any CAB files on the site and apparently am not smart enough to know what to do with what they have.
Any help, direction, or specific thread? I have done the search and cannot get the "right" hit from the forums to help.

Short answer: Hard reset is the easiest way to fix.
Long answer: Opera 9.33 mobile (and the fakes claiming to be 9.5) are all leaked betas. Because they're leaked, you're bound to have problems, and Opera will *NOT* support you.
Is there anything you can do, short of hard resetting your phone? Not without alot of registry editing and knowledge that you probably don't have, or you wouldn't of posted this thread
Even if you had the knowledge, you would have had to know that this would been a problem when you installed it and backed up the appropriate registry keys prior to installing. Otherwise, you'll still need to hard reset, copy the settings, install opera, uninstall opera and put back your settings...
BTW, all of this was already posted in a thread in the developing and hacking forums... This is a redundant thread.
Hope this helps!

Flash 3.1 on Wizard?

Has anyone got the flash 3.1 and opera beta 1938 working on the Wizard? It seems pretty straight forward and it's been installed on similar devices. I'm running TNT beta 20273 pro. I installed opera and flash to the SD. Here is the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401643

I get the same results on youtube.

Doesn't work unless you have opera installed
on main memory. Also install opera first, then flash 7, then flash lite 3.1 and all have to be installed in that order and all on main memory. Make sure you clean up old installs first. For me, it isn't even worth it. It's laggy and I hate having no memory space. I just use skyfire for flash. Don't waste your time!

Thanks for the info. I was afraid of that. I too wouldn't like the trade-off, losing the main memory for laggy video. Maybe someone will figure a way to get it into SD.

I reed something about that
On some thread on development and hacking about this new flash 3.1 said that everything need to be installed on the same place SD or MAIN MEMORY, I think i missed the flash 7... so i will try it again... but in MiniSD.
I really miss to watch streaming like in WM6.
Wait Wait i think i have reed it on a PPC forum but in spanish let me search the info i will post it right here.

Yeah, I tried all that including the new 2181 version of Opera. It doesn't work on the SD card. I can't afford the storage space on the main. Oh well it would probably be choppy video anyway.

Yeah, even the lastest version (build 2181) is choppy even on EDGE or Wi-Fi networks. If you're in the U.S., there's always Skyfire for flash. It's pretty good too. But that's all it's good for, for now...

I've tried skyfire a few times. I'm not really impressed so far. I've been getting the latest betas too. There is just something about it that isn't as polished Opera. Yes I know it's only on the 3rd beta. It is just my personal prefs.

Argh! Warranty repair + Upgrade...

Hi all,
I sent my phone back to T-Mobile for a warranty repair because a couple of the keys stopped responding to key presses.
Got the phone back today repaired, they have replaced the keyboard. BUT they have also upgraded the firmware on the phone. Now it is WM6.1 and I am unable to restore my (a lot) applications etc from the 2gb backup file on my SD card.
It asks me for an upgrade file which I don't have. It performs the restore anyways but then the phone won't boot.
On performing a hard reset it comes back with WM6.1
I can't even cancel the damn T-Mobile customisations like I could in WM6 (by restarting the device before they install) now it just wipes the handheld again after boot and installs the T-Mobile crap again every time.
Please can someone help me restore my backup file? Where can I Get an upgrade file?
I found a guide here that I would have followed had I know they would upgrade my phone without my consent:
http://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/answer.aspx?id=329
Is anyone here still on WM6 (not 6.1) able to create an upgrade file for me and host it somewhere?
I know it's a massive ask but I would be forever greatful if someone could help me out with this.
Many Thanks,
Alex.

If you dont want the 6.1 i would check the wiki/search for the 6.0 rom that you had before you sent it in. The older rom should be avaliable somewhere.. You just have to look for it.

I say you send it back to T-Mobile and ask for a G1 instead

I've spoken to T-Mobile to see if they could change it back and they said there is nothing they can do.
Is there some way to save my current rom to my SD card so that I can go back to 6.0, create an upgrade file for sprite, come back to 6.1 and restore my backup using the upgrade file?
I don't know where I can find the original T-Mobile Rom though I've looked on the web and the T-Mobile site.
Sorry I'll admit that I'm a noob at this.

Is the backup just to save you re-installing programs, or is there data in the backup that isn't backed up somewhere else?
The only thing I would really "lose" on my phone are the contacts which come right back as soon as I set the phone up to sync with exchange again. If I wasn't using exchange I would have all my contacts backed up in Outlook on my PC.
Maybe you just need to re-install your programs again. WM 6.1 does have some nice enhancements over WM 6.0.

Nothing they can do vs they can't be bothered

Complain to them about much longer GPS lock times (assuming you have the option of installing Tomtom or similar on your phone). I had this problem with the official HTC WM 6.1 upgrade (see this *Hopeless* GPS after 6.1 update thread for more info) and the HTC Service centre reverted the ROM back to 6.0 for free under warranty so if T-Mobile say they cant get the HTC Technical Centre to do this for you, they're not trying hard enough - time to escallate it to the manager! There's no physical reason why they cant revert the ROM and they should have warned you that they would flash the ROM.

I will lose a lot of data that is not backed up anywhere else. One of the main things is my TomTom favourites, which is full of locations I would have to drive to to save again, and can't drive to without the favourites lol. Other than that it's a lot of apps and customisations like numerous SPB apps that have been tailored to my requirements over the last year.

ffs I hope that's not going to be the case, I use TomTom 6 on my phone ALL the time and I'll be REALLY annoyed if it's not going to perform as well at that. It's the main reason I went for this phone.
I think I will ask for the manager. The pleb I spoke to did even go and ask someone if there was anything they could do.

GPS was a big drawcard for me also and the difference between HTCs official WM 6.1 vs WM 6.0 ROMs is like night and day (6.1 being night). Give it a test under your new OS just to see how it works with the T-Mobile ROM (I see there's a new 1.70xxxx series T-Mobile Radio - maybe yours has it now) but don't get your hopes up

Feel free to mention you know someone who had the ROM officially reverted for free under warranty. Remember, this is something that is possible to get done, I have personal experience of it.
As far as how to backup in the future, I backup all my Music, Videos and Tomtom Navigator 6.032 Maps and POIs etc on my microSDHC card using my Sandisk Cardreader and Windows XPs own backup utility. It's quick, free and works a treat! There's no need to use any special mobile phone backup software just for this sort of thing (although phone settings/configuration etc will require manual re-entering if you don't back them up - but then I'm unsure if it's possible to retain those across different OSs).

I tried to use my tomtom yesterday and it took ages to lock on despite having the quick gps downloaded.

Well then assuming you were out in the open and there's no reason why it shouldn't have got a quick lock (other than the 'up'grade), you know what to do!
For other T-Mobile customers and people considering using the radio in a non- T-Mobile Kaiser (not me!), it may be helpful if you post the ROM and Radio Versions you currently have.

ROM Version: 3.31.110.1 WWE
Radio Version: 1.70.18.02
Protocol Version: 25.83.40.02H
The sat nave seems better since that first lock, but I've only used it twice.
Is there a way to backup this ROM before I change back to do my upgrade file?
Cheers,
DJ

Repeat after me, this ROM is bad, this ROM needs to go, Old ROM is good, Old ROM is whats needed (for the meantime)!
Once you've got your SD Card contents back, then you can think about where to go from there and T-Mobile I'm sure will be only to pleased to supply you with the upgrade again or do it themselves.

Opera upgrade - Help

I have just upgraded to opera 10.2 on my HTC HD 2 and for some reason the version that came on the phone still appears.
I have checked the remove programs and it is not listed
any ideas??

anyone know of how to get rid

I'm not sure you can as the files will be in the ROM.
I have both installed on my HD2 and the v10 simply overrides the installed 9.7 version for all practical purposes.
I wouldn't mind getting the storage back, but short of cooking, I don't see what I can do.

[Customizing] Replacing Default Applications

Hi, If you have rooted and installed a cooked-rom you can now start really editing your system to your needs, below is what I would do with the ChaCha/Status enjoy:
Launcher Pro
INSTEAD OF HTC Sense
Opera Mobile 11 (Not Opera Mini).
INSTEAD OF WebKit Browser
Opera Mobile is not available for this handset yet via Android Market
(You Need To Manually Install - Below Is Link)
QuickPik
INSTEAD OF Default Gallery
Handcent
INSTEAD OF SMS Default
MORE TO COMING SOON.
DOWNLOAD OPERA MOBILE 11 .APK FOR CHACHA

I tried removing stock messaging app to use handcent and mms stopped working.
I understood the latest handcent didn't need stock message to work, but something is amiss!

Actually you're wrong. I have installed Opera Mobile the first moment I got the phone (a month ago).
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.opera.browser&feature=search_result
You can also find it in the Market App. Just use the damn search button in the android market app.
This app is compatible with your Orange HTC HTC ChaCha A810e.
UPDATED:
June 30, 2011
CURRENT VERSION:
11.1
It starts in landscape mode and it works fine.

Hi, You said that it is available from the Android Market APP. I can confirm three things that might differentiate between the situations when you downloaded the app and I did:
For Starters I Have: A Three Mobile ROM Not An Orange One.
Secondly: I have the latest ANDROID MARKET UPDATE - YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE.
(I KNOW YOU CAN DOWNLOAD OPERA FROM THE ONLINE MARKET)
Thirdly: You downloaded it a month ago and I attempted a few days ago via mobile (using browser) and it said incompatible with device. So I searched the market via mobile and it was not listed (Market APP does not list incompatible APPS).
THE ABOVE REASONS ARE WHY I THINK IT MIGHT HAVE WORKED FOR YOU AND NOT ME.

Hi, Please do not attempt to remove the stock messaging app just use the Handcent one as default - it should then work. If MMS is still not working for your handset please wait approximately TWO WEEKS and I will be releasing my new ROM that has at least 80MB of extra free space and it replaces the FACEBOOK BUTTON TO A TWITTER BUTTON.
ALSO I AM ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE HTC SENSE COMPLETELY BUT SO FAR NO LUCK - BUT THE WHOLE ROM WORKS SMOOTHLY AND IS AMAZINGLY FAST.
Stay tuned and I'll do something about handcent from within the custom-ROM and I'll let you know.

I put stock messgae back, always freeze using titanium first. I read latest handcent didn't need stock app that was all.

hi,
i flashed your rom.
- less then 60megs free mem on internal storage
- facebookbutton is not working as a twitterbutton
never the less nice rom

Thank you for testing the TweetDroid ROM and for that useful information I will be updating the ROM to work the button with something and increase the memory.
However, I'd like to ask you some questions:
- Is The ROM Stable?
- Does Google Plus Work?
- Does a Twitter App Appear?
- Does Opera Mobile 11 Work As The Default Browser?
- Is The New Market Installed or The Old One From SuperDroid?
Thanks.

i've only tested twitter and this version looks strange! it seems not the be the org. version which can be installed via market?! am i wrong?
rom is stable so far.
opera, google+ not tested yet, sorry
i tried myself to assign an app to the facebookbutton. as a matter of fact, qwerty was broken. nonfunctional anymore

1. I don't have an Orange ROM. And roms are not important.
2. We both have the same market update
3. Opera is there man, checked with a different ChaCha. I checked it again 5 minutes ago. Downloaded it.

Yes - you're right the twitter app is not by twitter - it's from a third-party company that uploaded it to mediafire - i will change the copy to the official soon.
I will also change the keyboard settings somehow and upload a new ROM called CAMDROID 1.0 before 7:00PM GMT.
If you have time - have a look at Opera Mobile.
Thanks for your help.

What exactly do you type in dude? Every time I type 'firefox' i am greeted with 'third-party' application on porting it to android plus some other nonsense.

typing, firefox? what are you talking about? Oo

Sorry I posted that in the wrong thread. I was talking to this other user and must switched threads and thought I was still talking to him - sorry.
