what browser would you say is the best for non touchscreen devices?
My favorite was Iris browser, sadly they stopped supporting it. Many people like skyfire, however it always hangs at "connecting" for me. Finally opera mini 5 looks great however it isn't native so I always have to lauch it through java and accept that the data connection may cost... and it doesn't like the keyboard on my htc rose.
any suggestions?

Opera Mini 5 beta is by far the finest, all ur issues can be resolved, for instant launching and a signed one so it doesnt ask u everytime u launch for connection, download and install the .jad from Opera Mini 5 Beta (Signed).zip one from stylez >>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4567823&postcount=43
Also the zip have the shortcut and icon dll to launch it, place the shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu and the dll in \Windows.
before installing this remove the other Opera 5 installs and any other .jad or .jar of opera on ur device.
for keyboard issue, disable Inline Editing in Settings > Advanced, this is made for keypad phones.
And for a super browsing experience, turn on Fullscreen mode.
how do i place the dll in the windows folder, the file explorer doesn't "see" the file...
edit: i installed totalcommander which solved the problem!
edit2: thanks for all your advice!! and wow that icon looks ugly... is there no other icon around or how can i convert a picture to a .dll file?
I would agree- Opera Mini is one polished browser.

Haha it is quite ugly, the attached dll has a much cleaner icon, based on WM 6.5 icons in ookbas ROM. just replace the file.
great thanks!!
I'd like to have 2 more things fixed:
1. the clock is wrong, how do I set it right?
2. when I press the hang up button to exit the browser, the next time I want to use it, I need to press "continue" to keep using the java program. Is there any way to avoid this "continue" dialog?

I am sure, the number 1 question would be:
"Can I view the non-mobile YOUTUBE.com (Flash video) website?"
1. I don't care if it will because vtap does that just fine.
2. I like opera mini, if iopera 9.5 is 4 mb again like prior versions it stays off my phone
why do people keep starting Opera 9.5 threads?? this is the third one i've seen today! - also 11th Feb is the Demo at some show, not the Testing date.
Here you can download Opera_9_331.cab and for QVGA standard_skin.zip. It is cool and very very fast!!!
I get an error about it not being able to find the proxy.

Have a look in \Application Data\Opera9 There is a folder called skin. copy the zip file there (don't unzip it)

this xv6700 of mine has to be doing something right
I have installed it on my storage card 3 times the program won't show up under add/remove programs either so I hard reset and installed it on my main memory gah it takes a lot and the skin works now
wow! Really cool ! Works fine with QVGA skin on 8525 (Hermes)
I think it's cool. I deleted Netfront 3.5, because it is slower than Opera. It is very comfortable to browse Web with Opera 9.
This is a great browswer. It's much faster and has many other cool features over the IE and other browsers. By far the best I have tried.
How do you uninstall this? Not listed in remove programs...
why uninstall this one will stay on my phone
Yeah, it'd be nice to have an uninstaller. Anyone?
http://images.google.com/imgres?img...mages?q=opera+mobile+beta+9.5&um=1&hl=en&sa=N
there is a video with a speed comparison test and the ui in action. enjoy.
So far pretty impressed. SPB keyboard doesn't work well though. Ignores the spaces which would make typing on the Touch a chore. Its real fast though. Desktop rendering rready to go in like 5-12 secs.

Nice user name, you should have taken out that turbo revving young punk Hot Rod.
Anyway, yeah an uninstaller would be great. Its a great browser though...but any idea on how to not make this the default browser? I can't access the flash bundle pack because of Opera, heh.
Looks lovely. The only thing I'm not liking at the moment is that you can either use the nice zoom/pan navigation method or the fit to screen text flowing, but not both. I'd like to see an option on the touch-and-hold context menu to switch the current page into Fit To Screen, or have the Zoom In/Out option automatically flow the text. It's a pain to keep scrolling left and right to read most pages, and it's even more of a pain to have to go to the settings to select Fit To Screen once you get to a page you actually want to read!
I have google search bar and windows live search bar on my today screen. But when I search it uses Pocket Internet Explorer instead of Opera Mini 4.
Does any know how to change the registry or install an app that would use opera mini?
Thanks
Use the MortScipt option to set Opera Mini as the default browser.

Thanks for the reply guys but I already tried that script a few days ago and it seemed pretty buggy with google search bar. Mortscript is like an automated macro program you would use on pc. On the ppc, I had a problem where it starts clicking on the search button randomly. I tried the "WM6 OperaMiniAsDefaultBrowser - WithoutSelectionDialog.cab" again today but still the same problem.
Here is a link to the original Posting that I downloaded this from.

From Opera
http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/
I will get screen shots and a review up ASAP!!! I just installed and am messing around with it. There is also a widgets app which comes pre-loaded with a twitter widget, geoquizz, bubbles (game), status widget (ping.fm?), and google translator. You can click to add more and are taken to Widgets.Opera.com. where there is a selection to choose from. Seems Cool.
The scrolling seems to be quicker and smoother. Very nice. From the original post it seems that Turbo is off by default so I am now going in to Opera:Config to turn it on and see if there is a difference in loading.
Note:
June 12
I had been testing HSPL this week and havn't had a chance to play in Opera7 much anymore....... I just reinstalled on my newly flashed rom from udk..... So screenshots and such will be coming in the next few days. I'm very busy.

Overall experiance is good. Besides no zoombar. XDA loads faster.
I have experienced several freezes and crashes. It Is BETA though. So that is expected.
I have been able to get the zoombar working in some way. Not to zoom but I can use it to scroll down the page and through items. If intrested I can post the registry tweak for it.
There is a little animation noticed when rotating.
I am able to play video off of Youtube.com but not hulu.com
Screen rotation does not work at the moment. Using G-config as recommended below Works. Will see what registry edits were done using it.
I seems that in the original build Opera Config has more settings under adaptive zoom including one that says "zoom slider maximum" So this may be more tha a registry tweek. IDK
JUNE 7
It seems the zoombar is non-responsive. Could just be a registry tweak.... IDK though. Will try my best with waht little skill I have to look into it.
There is History when you start to type a URL
After a soft reset the Original Opera loads from the Browser Tab now.
Opera will not launch from Browser Tab after install and Bookmarks are not transfered. The original Opera Browser is still there and is not over writen though.
Just installed it and works great. Pages loads much faster and more smooth, turning the turbo mode didn't notice anything spectacular. Confirmed the ZOOM scroll bar does not work with the beta version. Hope its just a registry tweak or something.
Cheers,
Hi!
Hopefully HTC will release either a ROM upgrade or cab package that integrates opera 9.7 into TouchFlo. A cab package is maybe more likely at this beta stage.

Anybody manage to get the screen rotation working?
Screen roatation doesn't work as well...
Other than screen rotation, i am also having problem with suspending the device with opera 9.7 running.
I'm interested to see if someone can solve these issues too... other than that, it's faster and generally better.
cant read a page w/o to zoom in, but for the rest it is faster and sleeker
have tryed 9.7b1.
The page rendering is pretty fast,
but some pages are shown not correct.
to add rotation use G-Config
I, have tryed to enabling zooming with Advanced Config,
but the result was that the zoombar now scrolls thru the links.
Silly question guys... If I install the new opera, what will happen with the built in version? Will it be replaced or installed as a separate app?

No the original build stays in tact.
Some new notes on first post. Help is needed to enable zoombar if anyone knows. I got the zoombar working to scroll the page in opera.
I have installed beta 9.7 but it became the default browser. I was not happy about it so I uninstalled it. now links from mail are opened in IE instead of the pre-installed Opera. Is it supposed to do that or is there a way to get Opera back as default?

It installed as default for me as well. i don't know the specific registry edit but if you search the forums you can find it. Search for something like "setting Opera as default browser"

Neither of them show the video sorry.... According to Opera No flash plugin is included with this Beta. So mebe later on it will but at the moment no...
From their site:
* Opera Turbo in Opera Mobile is still a preview-feature;
o Downloads don't work while Opera Turbo is enabled.
o Some settings (such as toggle on/off images) do not apply when Opera Turbo is enabled.
* On older WM 5.0 Devices with 480x800 resolution, switching between portrait and landscape may cause display errors. This is due to lack of support for this resolution in early versions of Microsoft's driver.
* Some input method editors are known not to work well with Opera because they do not comply with Microsoft's SIP and/or IME standard. When such an editor is detected by Opera, Opera will use a known (default) input method instead. An exception is EzInput v1.5, where the phone keypad and compact QUERTY, ABC mode doesn't work, but the rest of the modes work fine. We recommend upgrading to EzInput v2.0 to avoid this.
* Only support for FlashLite 3.x. No Flash plugin included.

Zoombar
nice that you figured out how to scroll now with the zoombar. Can you please share your knowledge?
And does anybody knows how to get this zoombar working again?
After installation the zoombar is not working anymore at the 9.5 and the 9.7beta version.
The 9.5 version is still on the phone as it comes with the rom.
Does anybody knows hot to change the Manila"Internet" tab from 9.5 to 9.7 beta
Thanks for you help,

This is a quick modification of the eT9.Cedar.wwe.kmap.txt to enable long press to get FN+Key.
This file has only been tested on a Ozone.
Install Instructions:
Unzip the attached file.
Backup your original file \windows\eT9.Cedar.wwe.kmap.txt
I included original this in the zip
Replace modified kmap file with the one in windows\
I used Mobile Explorer in My MobileR 1.23 to replace file. I'm sure there are other ways that are probably easier (Total Commander), but this worked for me.
reboot phone.

FN key not working...
I have 3vo cooked rom from ookba, and my FN key doesnt work in the screen for typing in my peap user name and password. I replaced my keymap with this one, but it still doesnt work. Any advice?

The key map was not meant to be a solution for the bug in the rom but it does help overcome some of the function key issues like in the URL address bar and other locations, but does not correct them all. For example, I still have an issue with passwords in Opera that require function keys.
You could try use My Mobiler to enter in your username/password. You could also try a hard reset after flashing the rom.
I have no doubt that ookba will find a solution for us. We just have to be patient...
With that said, I find this key map change very useful with everyday typing.

I replaced the keymap with yours using resco explorer and saw no change whatsoever. I even opened up mobile explorer to make sure that it did in fact overwrite the file and saw your header at the top so I know it did. Do you have to enable any xt9 settings or anything? When i hold down the key i want to get the fn+key press for, it just repeats it like normal.

Did you soft reset the phone after you replaced the keymap? Try it in Internet Explorer. Some apps like Skyfire and Opera mini don't seem to like the key modification especially if you are using ookba rom.

Hello, i want to customize my touchflo, i used SPB shell 3.5 but its bugged, and didnt work the SMS/Email button so i back to toucflo. My ask is: is there any program to change my toucflow bar? for example i use opera 10, and the toucflow open opera 9...
and i want to take some special icon... tcmp etc..
thanks a lot
First install M2DC. With this app you can change the default browser. After that install "I C Thru U". This one let's you make "transparent" the operator, taskbar, bottom bar, etc. at your choice.
All these apps can be found here in XDA and I know there are some more but I don't remember.
Always make a backup before doing any change to your device (I use SPB Backup).
Hope this help
EDIT: Forgot! With shortcut manager you can edit (i.e change the icon) any shorcut in your device and make new ones.

Another thing about M2DC is you can edit the today buttons under the scroll/sidebar, I've put in the left button a link to G-Alarm and in the right button a link to the file explorer. This can be done in the "Softkeys" tab, just browse the app you want link and name it or just left it that way.
