What are the odds the new beta opera could be broke down and added to a rom. With all the other new touch friendly features in currant roms the new opera beta is a natural.
Anything that is a cab... or an exe.... or anything, can be cooked into a ROM.
I've had OperaMobile9.7 in my ROMs in the past.

See, Opera Mobile is just a really hefty browser. Sure, it does work, but it always says that it's out of memory, etc. So, it could be added to a ROM, but there's no real need, since you can install it yourself.

Im currently using OperaMini 4 due to is pan/zoom functionality and general rendering speed. However due to it being Java it has some limitations.
So Im on the lookout for a next-gen native Windows Mobile Browser.
Netfront v3.5 looks promising (dont know if it is available to test yet);
http://www.access-company.com/products/netfrontmobile/browser/index.html
I know the Opera is also working on their next version of Opera Mobile with some similar features.
Bil
EDIT:
You can only download a beta version for Netfront v3.4 (expires Feb 29,2008)
Get it here;
http://www.access-company.com/products/netfrontmobile/browser/34_wm_tp.html
Not even 3.4 is finalized as yet - let alone 3.5.
Frankly, I don't expect much of the new NetFront version(s). Opera Mini, Mobile and, at times, IEM with a decent plug-in (like PIEPlus) are far more flexible and usable in general.
Ive been playing with v3.4 - but am not very impressed and Ive gone back to Opera Mini. Its not as fast or as easy to navigate. I did like the Visual Bookmarks (similar to Piscal bookmarks) which automatically link to your IE favorites.
Seeing the preview viedo for the next version v3.5 it seems smoother to navigate and pan/zoom. Also the speed seems better with the Optimization/Compression technology they are using.
So I will wait for v3.5 before deciding to switch from Opera Mini.....

Seeing is believing... and, let's not forget it's geography-dependent. For example, for a Chinese users with very slow international connections, Opera Mini might be a very bad choice. For a European or an American, it's the best.
If Access' compression server will only be situated in Japan, I don't think it'll be able to beat Opera Mini in terms of speed - at least not for European and US users.

First of all, if you are talking about Opera Mobile, then it is a commercial software so no ROM release will have it.
Now, the second part. There aren't very many ROMs released for Kaiser yet so go through each release and check yourself to see what software are included with the release.
thanks for that
ive never used opera but i was advised by a colleague to get it
whats you r views on it ,,is it worth getting (i presume being commercial itll cost to obtain)
is it worth actually installing ???
thanks
Certain sites seem to work best on different browsers. I have both Opera Mobile and PIE installed (and use both regularly). There is a 30 day trial of Opera...check it out before you buy. Also try Opera Mini - also a very good browser which I've used at times. Hopefully, someone will soon integrate all the best features of each.

OPERA MINI is free dude and its the best browser for windows mobile device to date.
and also there are TONS of roms released for the kaiser..
I'm guess sherpa has an attitude and posts just to get his post count up.. cuz obviously his post was rather pointless.

I think my post was very straightforward. Opera Mobile will not be included with any release; to see if Opera Mini is included, just go through the ROM release threads. It's that simple.
Plus, if I really wanted to post just to get my post counts up then I would have thousands of posts by now since 2004.
I believe that one of Duttys roms had OPERA in it. I guess it was the V1 version of his fantastic rom - but the Forum has agreed not to use commercial software.....
But Companero. Use Operamini instead - its greeeeaat. By far the fastest browser you can get - and you can sync your links with MyOpera so you wont miss anything if you flash a new rom.
I do know that Jack's current FULL version has Opera Mobile in it. I believe it's out there if you look hard enough.

Yes. There is a post in the Device Upgrading area (top part of the forums) that has the how to do this.
OperaMini works well in most cases, but remember that whatever you are doing is rendered on a remote server. Don't use it for anything that should be secure (ie: don't do purchases or passwords across OperaMini IMO).
whats the big f**ing deal about sherpas post? he said as simple as needed: opera mobile is commercial. except for very few cooks, noone creates ROMs which include commercial version of different software for obvious reasons. if u want it, go buy it!
on the other hand, opera mini is free and you can install it in less than 5 minutes on every ROM, provided it has the right java applet installed. If not, one can also install Indent Java Midi applet which works perfect with Opera Mini.
i really hate all this smart ass talking and this show off from some of the users around here. it is a lot quicker and more useful to give a simple answer, even if it had been posted thousand times rather than telling to go read the wiki, search with google etc.
bleah!
Just downloaded the latest version (1.0.15 a.k.a. 1.1.0 Beta 2) and it's very, very much improved over the previous version. For those that don't know what it is, it's a (currently) free WinMo browser based on WebKit. It supports tabs, has some snazzy visual effects, and renders full webpages quite well. If you haven't tried the latest version yet, give it a shot. It's good enough that it replaces Opera and PIE now.
The developers have been responsive to email suggestions I have sent and I've noticed my suggestions in later versions (which is kinda cool). Not sure if it will stay free for ever, but let's hope it does and keeps improving...

mmmmmmmmmm....
sounds like a WM based browser isn´it?
Don´t think it´s a good competitor of Opera Mobile...
I just never really liked Opera Mobile. When I cook my ROM for the Fuze, that's the first thing that's going to be removed. Hell, I like Opera Mini much more than Opera Mobile. Too fat (resource hungry) and too slow overall.
Until MS releases PocketIE, Iris just became my favorite all around browser. It's still not anywhere close to being perfect, but it's pretty damn decent. And according to one of the main guys at Torch Mobile, it will remain free for non commercial use.

Hi.
H3r2 Alpha 1.
WM6.1 [build 21042.1.6.1]
Please test & report ANY bug!
This is very very alpha release, useless, only for TEST.
http://www.4shared.com/dir/19508987/1551c8a4/H3r2_WWE.html
Pass: Ham3r
I don't recommend for beginners, iPhone and Nokia users.
Thank you ! This Rom very fast ! Good Look !
Review: Another excellent Ham3r ROM
This is a very nice ROM. Windows Mobile 6.1. It has no home screen programs, and very few apps. It has the Microsoft Office apps, Quickmenu, and an unusual collection of tools. Lots of free space, lots of RAM, good speed.
Questions I did not answer are:
What kind of files will AlReader read?
What is "Glossy Black Bars"?
Does WM5NewMenu offer any features not found in QuickMenu?
I noticed TCPMP but did not try it. Are all of the CODECs present?
The only problem I have is that Outlook won't sync to my work's Exchange server. However, they have been messing with the security settings there this week, so that might not be a ROM issue.
I have tried this ROM with Manila 2D (V1 and V2), SPB Mobile Shell 3, and HTC Home. All perform well, although Manila2D V2 needed some more apps, as usual.
One program had Polish (not English) help files.. I wish I could remember which.
The ROM does not have any touch-friendly scrolling. Of course it does not have the WM6.5 touch features, and it also lacks the TouchFlo touch features which work well on the "Final Angel" ROM.
I will not continue to use this ROM: I like the "Neat" flavor of Final Angel best of all ROMs I have tried. Nevertheless, I would encourage the cook to put out more Wizard ROMs. This one and the recent Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM are both very good, even though labeled as ALPHA. I can't wait to see what he would call a release version.
Thanks for reply.
Sorry for my english..

ROM constains M$ scrolling feature, but this is disabled by me. For turn ON this, run total commander, tap 2x on adress bar and select "gestures". Change "disabled" value to 0 & after few seconds make soft reset.

Thanks.. i working with BASE ROM for wizard.. but my wizard have a dead battery (on wifi, turns off after 2 minutes). and i dont have time for rommaking...ehh.
Thank you, turning on gestures worked.
I cannot find the program that had the Polish. Maybe it was an error message.
Thank you again, I would recommend this ROM for those who want a fast WM6.1 ROM.
pdb are ebooks
I have not been able to get this ROM to synchronize with an Exchange Server. The Ham3r WM6.5 ROM works, but this one does not.
For me, Exchange is very important.
If it is not important to you, this is still a very good ROM.
Good job Hamer
"Poland Power"
A nice ROM, I like very much the ROMs with huge free RAM. I remember for Nothin's ROMs, I used them for a long time.
I tried this ROM, it is fast, stable. My only problem was, that the Large_Start_Menu.cab does not run it, or at least for me did not run.
Could you check that?
Thanks you for your hard work.
Updated:
Finally had time, and access to norwegian files for a new build. Seems a bit faster and more responsive.
New in this version:
- Removed some unused/unnecessary stuff from OEM
- Camera application updated to version 5.04
- Removed taskmanager from the taskbar and replaced it with a norwegian version
- Removed some more stuff from SYS (Uneeded/unwanted)
Bugs:
- The license agreement of MSN is still blank, press "godta"
- The default start page of Interet Explorer does NOT work.
Uploaded to 4shared:
build 28002: here
previous build 23071: here
Make sure you have read this before upgrading
Important:
This ROM does not contain a radio, the radio of your previously flashed ROM will be used
Please let me know if you find any other bugs or problems! This will definitely help me improve my work! (any positive feedback is wanted as well)

Thanks to this fantastic forum I've managed to cook my own norwegian 6.5 ROM based on build 23071. So far it seems to be working very well.
Since I'm not sure about the demand for norwegian ROMs I havn't uploaded it anywhere yet. If youre interested in trying it please post here telling me so.

Hi there.
I like to try your ROM.
Espen
I'll try to find a nice place to upload it as soon as I can, will probably PM with where you can find it.
Things I've done with this ROM is by the way:
Removed:
Transcriber (doesn't recognize norwegian letters anyway)
Autoupdate
IRDA (No infrared on kaiser so this is useless)
Livesearch
MS Money
MS Tag
MS My Phone
Added:
Working version of Windows Live (Since I do use msn occasionally)
Taskmanager
+Some other minor tweaks
Basically a quite clean Rom based on a mix of the OEM of my stock 6.1 kaiser and 6.5 build 23071 SYS.
Very nice and it makes me curious
Hi
Very nice initiative. I have tried most the roms around here, and have had some difficulties with 6.5 roms and have currently gone back to a 6.1 rom, but this makes me interested to try a 6.5 rom again
best regards Rune T. Norway
Added info:
Flashed the rom, and tried it for a little more than a day, but I found it it a little unresponsive for my taste.
I always look for the fastest I can find with the best batterylife, but things is of course a matter of taste, and one seems to get picky after trying all these magnificent roms ;D
I currently use 23053-uncompressed (with only 58Mb free storage at startup), and this is fast and stable.
If you wanted to try and cook a norwegian rom based on this one, it might be a winner for my taste.
RT
I've just installed your ROM and it's working good so far.
Espen
have u got any pictures ? and I hope u can post a english vision as well ;
thanks very much !
Improving
First of all thanks for the response!
Also I will not be cooking an english version of this as there are quite a lot of them out there already (probably a lot better than I could do them too)
Have been working a bit to improve this version built on 23071 for a while, and have made a couple of test builds for myself removing unneeded apps, the duplicate alarm clock shortcut and so on, but have turned to build 23081 simply because I like the magnifier in it. Will probably post it as soon as its ready.
BTW. I've been working on a couple of uncompressed versions as well, most people use the SD-cards for storage anyway.
Might take me a couple of days, maybe weeks as I'm currently playing around with my diamonds and trinitys too...
Great - keep up the good work.
Still no issues with the current version.
Espen
Me WANT
Hi, there i would realy like to try this on, I'm sick of reading eanglish on my kaiser
-Thx
Sorry, i can see clearly now, so i found the download link
Just to let you know
Lately I've been working on the 23081 build, uncompressed. It's fast and responsive, but there's some minor bugs with Internet explorer that I'm trying to fix. I'm looking for the norwegian languge files for 23088 though so if anyone could get me those I'd be very happy....
Remove IE, it sucks anyhow. It's slow and useless.
Add Opera and set it as default browser
Opera 9.7 Beta
The beta works great.

Have been playing with the idea, might try it when I get time, not sure yet how difficult it is to set it as the default browser when I cook it and integrate it into titanium. Will defenitely look into it.
Sounds great
Looking forward to your next build
Finally..
..a new build.
Check out the first post for links.
I have not added opera, you are free to do so yourself
Nice.. I'll check it out over the weekend..
Thanks
Thanks for testing! Please leave me a message telling whats good/bad and so on.
At the moment I'm in the process of cooking a ROM with touchflo 2.0 from the HTC Mega (touch2), seems like there's just a few bugs that I need to get rid of, when (or if?) I get it done I'll upload it if anyone wants it. (Not a huge fan of touchflo on kaiser myself since it doesn't work properly in portrait though)
Not working at the moment:
YouTube (Freezes)
Opera (works, but it's in english)
Dialer (fixed, went back to the built in dialer from WM 6.5)
Comm Manager (fixed, used the original from my HTC Kaiser)
Hi, I have not had the time too test your rom untill now. I'm falshing as we speak I will report back after testing for a few hours..
