I am having trouble manually restoring my OPERA6.ADR Bookmarks file on my Opera 9.5 browser build 17658 on my WinMo 6.5 AT&T Pure device.
When I copy over my OPERA6.ADR file stored at \\Windows\Opera9\Opera6.adr and then open up Opera for the first time since the last soft reset, the new bookmarks show up fine. However, if I ever ran Opera before I copy over the file since the soft reset, the bookmarks shown in Opera are always what was loaded before and it will overwrite the opera6.adr file with the previous bookmarks. This occurs even if the Opera process was closed. The HTC TouchFlo Bookmarks option in the Internet tab will show the new links immediately, but as soon as I go into Opera and the file is overwritten, it then shows the old links.
It seems once Opera runs once it caches its bookmarks and ignores any outside writes to the Opera6.ADR file. I noticed Opera seems to load up quick on the second attempt even if the process is closed. I'm thinking the initialization of Opera is cached up after its first load which may be a part of my problem.
Is it possible to reset Opera be it through a programming API or some file deletion(s) to get Opera to read the Opera6.ADR file? Would a registry setting be involved to get this loaded properly? I hate to have to soft reset my device just to do this. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I don't want three browser.
Opera, Opera mini and IE.
And searching xda-forums I didn't find any solution uninstalling opera, that on cruise is provided with the phone.
Becouse Opera doesn't appear on the uninstall application list, how can I do a clean work removing opera browser from cruise?
Or better, there's a way to uninstall IE?
Thanks in advance

The opera browser's exe file is in the windows folder... i don't know if you can delete it or not.
If you just don't want to see it, remove the Opera.lnk file in the Windows/startmenu/programs folder.
Does anyone know where I can find the bookmarks for "Opera Mini" and "Opera Mobile" and back them up to my Mini SD card on my HTC Touch [T-Mobile UK] as I may need to send it in for repair...

in O mobile and
i copied
my .adr from the desktop to
\application data\opera

I never knew you could copy bookmarks from Opera desktop into Opera Mobile...
Basically, something happened bad to my phone yesterday and I need to send it off for repair and the "Dashwire" app doesn't back up Opera Mini or Opera Mobile bookmarks, only PIE bookmarks!
and as i said then by overwriting the .adr file in \application data\opera
with my desktop .adr file i got my desktop bookmarks on opera mobile
the logic conclusion would seem that if you copy the adr file from \application data\opera
you got a backup of your bookmarks
An more forward thinking solution for mini would be to backup your entire java configuration
\windows\appdb\

I think this holds true for most flavors of java, but for sure with JBED
But you can also sync your bookmarks and speed dial settings with myopera (signup for an account and perform sync from opera mini).
Good luck!
I'll try copying the .adr file as well as backing up the entire Java configuration to see if that works as it would be a pain in the butt if I lost all my bookmarks in Opera Mini because the so-called Opera Link option doesn't work properly!
alternately you could use opera sync to back up the bookmarks to their server. unless you aren't using mini 4.0 =)
I've tried using Opera Link with Opera Mini but for some reason it doesn't seem to work with Opera Desktop... My version of Opera Mini is definitely the latest version.

Hi,
I installed the Skyfire beta, saw it didn't work and uninstalled it again.
But now when I tap on a link in an e-mail, instead of going to Opera, it is opened in Pocket Internet Explorer (yuck!). I've already checked the file associations with SKtools and they were still set to Opera. Don't know what to do next.
So: can anyone help me restore the association of e-mail links to Opera? Thanks in advance...
Edit: never mind, fixed it by delving into the registry myself and replacing the association references to iexplore.exe by the corrent Opera one.
Hi guys,
I was wondering if it is possible somehow to synchronize my bookmarks from Firefox to Opera in my TD2? I have pretty much bookmarks and do not want to type each adress into my phone. If somebody knows better way I would be thankful.
Try:
Searched for Bookmarks to Opera
Searched for Favorites to Opera
But for me I use Import IE Mobile Favs to opera this way the bookmarks are synced with your PC via activesync, then run the program on the TD2 to transfer them across from PIE to Opera mobile
Note: It won't do folders in folders and I had problems trying to transfer lots (hundreds) of bookmarks.
For you you'd have to export/import them from Firefox first, which is what I had to do, but I use Opera desktop (I'm aware of the irony of having to transfer bookmarks from Opera desktop to IE then to PIE then Opera mobile, but I couldn't get the opera.adr file to transfer (& work) and until Opera get Opera link working on Opera mobile (they've got it on Mini) I'll have to use this crazy way around!!!)
As the thread title says, does anyone know "How to transfer opera mini bookmarks from one android phone to another?"
Recently I've changed my android phone and I stick to my opera mini 7.6(.40234) browser and now I want to move opera mini bookmarks from the old phone to the new one. I've searched the internet and one of the ideas was to copy the files within the "/data/data/com.opera.mini.android/files/" from the old phone to the new one but it wasn't any good.
Does anyone now how to solve the bookmarks transfer?
quick idea: you should able to use "opera link" to sync all bookmark across your device.

Thank you baudbox, I've tried this one and I have the following situation.
Although I'm using Firefox on my desktop PC, I've installed Opera browser for PC just for this sole purpose. To see how it works, for a test, I've logged in the new phone using opera link and my desktop using Opera browser (no bookmarks by default). The result was the only bookmark it was saved on the new phone was deleted. It seems that the phone's bookmarks were sync to the PC's, meaning the only phone bookmark being erased. I didn't see any way of choosing what to sync according to a selected device.
I don't know how opera link works but I supposed the phone bookmarks were supposed to get copied to PC and then connect the other phone and sync it with PC's bookmarks, using the desktop PC as a "middleman". I'm afraid that if I try to sync the old phone using opera link will erase all the bookmarks in it.
I don't see any feature from operalink screenshoot where you can choose a pull or push to opera servers. So guessing you can't
If you haven't already checked it, take a look at

May be you will find some explanations
Thank you very much baudbox! :good:
