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!

you will lose all of the data that is stored on the phone itself, what is stored on the memory card will not be erased.
As for the programs you will have to reinstall them and co pilot remember to deactivate this etc before upgrading all in the page when you download the rom from o2.
Also it is a rom update, from 6.0 to 6.1, the improvements are minimal apart from the speed improvements which should make it worth it for you to do if you want to spend the time reconfiguring it that is.
Hope that helps
You should NOT upgrade.
I did, and now I have only problems which I didn't have while on 6.0. You can find my posts in this forum.
On the other hand, if you have problems now, try upgrading.
But upgrade was, IMHO, my worst mistake.
yeh but the difference is that your upgrade is the htc leaked rom that appeared on here??? htc still havent realeased the full 6.1 upgrade for the polaris, if they have then it slipped by me.
The one the person is talking about is the o2 6.1 upgrade which i have been running for the last month and had no problems...yet but thats the same with anything it can always happen.

There are a couple of advantages to updating. You can easily google or wikipedia for details on how WM6.1 has changed. What's not mentioned is the compatibility you get with the newer HTC software. What I did was install the new rom, delete Opera 8.65, and install the Opera 9.5, the new HTC Album, new HTC Audio Manager, and new HTC Youtube app. Its like I have a new phone! But w/o many of the instabilities and bugs that cooked ROMS offer. Furthermore, it definitely cured my Xperia upgrade desires.
Worth noting is that yes, you will lose all information on the phone. So either move stuff to your storage card, or back it up on the PC. (Both of which you should be doing anyhow). Old text messages, and call history can be backed-up and recovered using the Sprite Backup that was included on your original CDs. In fact, I highly suggest making a complete backup using Sprite so that you can easily revert to your old ROM and restore your previous files/settings w/o any hassle if you have any issues with WM6.1.
Known Bugs for the official WM6.1:
-Touch scrolling doesn't work well in the Programs Folder accessed from HTC Home
-The music tab in HTC Home cannot be enabled by registry edits
Solution:
-Use either the Start Menu Programs folder or replace the Programs Folder with something like TouchLaunch
-Either don't use the Music Tab a la original configuration or install the latest copy of HTC Home by Schen w/o the brightness fix
I wish I had never upgraded to WM 6.1, with WM 6.0 my Orbit 2 worked perfectly well, never froze and Bluetooth worked with my Parrot hands free even to the point that the CoPilot voice came out of the speakers. Since upgrading I have experienced a number of freezes, the Bluetooth connects when it wants to and even when connected half the time it will not transfer a call, sometimes placing a call 5 minutes after it was dialled. I have been looking for an official O2 WM 6.0 ROM to downgrade to see if that cures the problems because I cant see any improvement in speed and most of the other "features" of 6.1 are of no real use, the threaded SMS being one I find most annoying.
@ chris10230
My signature says "Official" WWE ROM. Yea, from HTC site, when it went public! So no beta or leaked. You must have missed us yelling "New ROM is out". But that's no big deal.
@ Mace
Downgrading to WWE 6.0 did not solve same problems as your's that I (still) have. So I think we're stuck. Hopefully something will go seriously wrong with my Polaris, so I'll replace it while still under guarantee...
@ both of you, find more here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411883. Please read posts from page 13... posts prior to that are just guessing or talking about problems with download/validation of device serial number...

Although it is a little offtopic here, you can disable the threade SMS. I couldn't stand it, but fortunately there is a solution to disable it:

I had upgraded to 6.1 official and also various cooked. but nothing beats 6.0 - I have 62MB free memory even after installing all my required prog's have even got SPB shell and Greatbal's manila theme - best of all world's
Am now on Panosha's Butterfly and enjoying the peace, tranquility
6.1 - give's you memory leak's, battery drain and most important eats most of the available memory due to all the new features like M2D, M3d, 3d Drivers etc...
Now if only I could figure out if Manila is installable on v6 then I have everything I need !
I noticed alot of older download links are dead on here. The original one for the 9.2:
ftp://130.89.126.174:2311/Wizard/Roms/WM6 Roms/NBD v9.2 (5.2.1620)/NBD.v9.2.RAR
doesn't work, even when removing the %20's.
1.) Does anyone know where I Can Find it?
2.)To remove the older apps and put new ones (like the ones that came with nbd 9.1 or any rom for that matter), do I have to run it in a kitchen? Or perhaps is there a way to see the rom while my wizard is on and delete it off the wizard itself? I can't see the programs in the remove programs list, and wanted to update pocket contacts and the rest. I like the nbd and it's stable. I'm on 9.1 now.
Just want to say the CR86 Touch HD looks real good to, but just is missing the cube. If it had the touchless cube (where you run your hand down the screen to activate) i'd probably use that, and just get pocket contacts, pictures, etc added. So if anyone can tell me how to do that then I may just go that route

umm nevermind i tried that touch hd and it's really nice.... I see the wizard development has come a long way since the nbd. The touch works flawless.
I still wouldnt' mind knowing how to uninstall and install newer apps though
Hi everyone!
Is there a way I can over-write the factory Opera program installed on my HTC Touch Pro for the new/continually upgraded Operas?
I am sick of the old Opera my phone came with out of the box, which is now sorely outdated... but once I try to download the newest version, my phone always converts that program over to my factory version or won't even allow access to it?
For now, I'm relying on Skyfire, which I'm not super-thrilled with...
THANKS!!!

Welcome to the forum
Depending on what version you have installed, there are posibilities of doing it
Please have a look into general section in the thread All opera mobile versions thread, perhaps you can find your answer there
Good luck,
Thanks
I reset my entire phone back to factory setting yesterday, so all I have on my phone over-above the normal programs is the new release c version of Skyfire.
Hey guys, i understand that im new here and i looked through and read up on anything before jumping into the deep end of adding cooked roms onto my device.
So here is the issue.
1. I Installed Hard Hspl 2.08 (or whatever the term is called sorry)
2. I installed a the rom Artemis 8.0 WWE
3. I installed radio - 2.09.51.03
4. worked perfectly, love the rom and the radio! however when i go into browser aka opera 10, i go onto youtube, and i have enabled plug in on the settings but it is showing white and then flashes to black, and wont go into full screen mode? when i click on video and hardly any will play?
any ideas help would be appreciated.
thanks alot.
Bill.
