Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone has gotten the g-sensor working with opera mobile 10 yet. I searched for it and found something about putting it in the g-sensor whitelist in the registry but has anyone actually got this working yet?
It does work. Follow the tutorial on pocketnow.com: http://pocketnow.com/how-to/get-g-sensor-auto-rotation-back-in-opera-mobile-10
Does it mean that coupled with Zoomer we may have the same level of functionality on Opera Mobile 10 than in Built-in Opera Mobile 9 provided by HTC (with auto landscape and pinch to zoom) ?

Hello all,
I'm totally new to this so please be a little patient with me.
Last week I bought a second hand HTC Touch Cruise. After playing a while and learning hoe to use I noticed some discrepancies between the software and the manual.
In ROM settings I found:
Released at XDA-developers.com
Polaris (Build 0.60)
(c)2007 bepe @ Polaris Project
Thanks to: maimach, ...
Edition: Full
ROM date: 17.03.2008
Build time: 15:11:29
My questions:
1. So this is not an original Windows Mobile 6.1?
2. Should I upgrade this, if yes: how?
3. I'm missing the Windows Live Messenger
4. I totally do not like the Opera Browser, but this seams fixed and automatically being used
5. Windows Update is gone; do I miss something there
6. Is it possible to go back to the original Windows? And what would I miss with that?
Thanks for your patience, and hopefully someone can guide me through this.
Greetings,

Yes, you have a custom version of Windows Mobile installed on your device. HTC has not yet released a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM for the Touch Cruise yet. From factory, they all come with Windows Mobile 6.0 installed. The factory version has Pocket IE setup as the default browser, along with Opera 8.65 installed. Also, the factory version does not have threaded SMS and zooming in IE, since those are features of WM6.1, not WM6.0. If I were in your shoes, I'd keep the Bepe ROM just a little while longer as the official HTC WM6.1 release should (fingers crossed) be here any day now. I'd upgrade to that, instead of going back the the official WM6.0 ROM at this point only to upgrade to the official ROM when its released shortly.
Also, you might want to go to Opera.com and download the Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta. Its a much improved browser akin to the iPhone Safari experience.
Hello,
Thanks for your advice.
Yes, I will wait.
I installed the Opera 9.5beta, but I still get the problem of extreme miniaturized webpages, so I will stick to IE for now.
What about Live Messenger? I cannot get int from the Microsoft site. Is it available here?
Thanks, Arnie
Hi -- the legwork for all your questions has already been completed -- try out the forum search feature, it works very well.

Do some browsing around these forums and you'll discover a lot. A search for Live messenger cab will reveal some download links. Double tapping on the screen will zoom in when using Opera Mobile 9.5. Double tapping again will zoom you back out.
Basics: I can't seem to get Internet pages to view properly. Many are too large for my screen or are forced zoom in/out.
More Details: I'm using a HTC 6900 with Sprint Service and unlimited data. I've been through many ROM's, but ever since I went to WM 6.1 my Internet pages have not been loading like they did with WM 5. I am currently using NFSFAN's WM 6.5 v13. I have also tried Opera Mobile and it also seems to have the same problems. I have searched these forums and the ppcgeeks forums with no luck and only 1 or 2 mentions of the problem so maybe its a rare occurrence? I have tried both Mobile View and Desktop View options and neither corrects the problem.
Examples: ESPN Mobile website now has to be scrolled sideways to see entire page where as before it would fit-to-screen. Same occurs with afterdawn mobile. Slashdot mobile will not even load into any sort of mobile view, just gives me the normal website view.
I believe you have IE6 on your ROM, which means it will render differently since it is designed as a desktop browser. If you want old IE you'll have to change to a 6.1 or earlier ROM most likely.
Opera Mobile can be customized by going to aboutpera in the address bar(or used in mobile view mode in settings).
If you want awesome mobile browser, though, get Opera Mini. It is Java, so get a good Midlet Manager, like the latest jBed. It renders everything well in QVGA (like your device) and works perfectly for mobile pages.
There are other browser options but I definitely prefer the Operas.
Hey Guys,
I have ben using Tomal's V12 64mb for ages and am thinking of changing the browers to Opera, Although afert looing on teh opera website i found that there are two browers that can run on Uni:
Opera Mini
Opera Mobile
i would like some help to fiind out which of the is better!
I prefer Opera mobile over mini.
This is the version I have found more stable: Opera Browser 9.70.35627.0
Check my sig opera official thread and you´ll find all you need
Thanks
will try and report back
Yes, Opera Mobile is a bit better because it can handle Flash, and JS with a better way than Mini one. Same as orb3000 said Opera 9.7 is bettter I think because Mobile doesn't load websites for me or when downloading timer is there(ew. on rapidsaher free) it can load it. Mobile 10 missing that timer and Mini has it but it's not working. Btw. Opera Turbo is bit bugged because you must turn it off before saving images or downloading files. And best of all it works fine on 64mb RAM Uni (without upgrade). Good choice is Skyfire too. You can check it at www.skyfire.com and I really recommend it with a new version of 1.5.
I'm using opera mobile and igoogle. In gadgets in igoogle I usually have 3 links, but last days I have only 1 link. On PC and Android is everything OK so the problem is in Opera Mobile. Does anybody have the same problem?
TD2 WM6.5
so i just bump this thread because i have the same problem on cm 7 lg o2x. igoogle in opera mobile and mini version is just a mess! gadgets missing and gadgets i deleted some time ago reappear! also like the guy above said, no pages! just a list of gadges! is this normal or is there some kind of trick to it
Is there a Opera 10 version for the Leo with Multitouch?
No, there is not.
install Zoomer app
Zoomer is an okay workaround but it doesn't refocus the pages when zoomed in so things look pixelated when you use it. I'm hoping Opera releases a multi-touch version soon.
You can hope, but Windows Phone 7 is coming and support for Windows Mobile is almost dead now.

Despite the fact that WP7 is months away, WM6 will still be supported as long as people have WM6 phones and will buy software for them. WP7 is not the successor to WM6 - they're different platforms.
Back to the OP.

Opera 10 was not made for the HD2, whereas Opera 9.7 was. Hence the lack of multi-touch.
I saw this and was playing around with the Opera 10 Beta that NRG cooks into his Energy ROMs. This Opera actually allows for multi-touch. I am able to pinch-to-zoom in slightly when in far out zoom, and again a little more when in full in zoom.
Not sure which build of beta he is cooking into his ROMs as the 'About Opera' only states that its 10 beta. But yes, this Opera allows for a slight bit of pinch-to-zoom.
*Edit* After some thought, this just maybe something enabled in BsB Tweaks...
