Does anyone know how to save/backup/access the bookmarks and "speeddial" files?
I performed a device-wide search and discovered 40+ references to Opera, and a multitude of vaguely named files, but nothing that stood out clearly as a bookmark file or a speed-dial file, as in Opera for the desktop.
So, does anyone have any idea of how to access these files so I can back them up?
P.S. I refuse to use the "Opera Link" option because it always ruins my bookmarks on both my desktop and phone since it tries to sync them. I simply want to backup the ones that are on the phone (TP2) and that's it.
Bump.
Can't believe no one has an answer for this, bearing in mind the conditions outlined in the above post.
Well, it's not that hard to figure out-you've had plenty of time, lol.
Been a while since I used mini, but check the sub-folder in the mini folder. It has all the user info stored there, I believe in .db files. Just back them up and restore them. It's pretty easy to use mini, make a few changes to your speed dials, then just see which file(s) changed.

Please bear with me, as this is my first windows mobile phone and I'm not all too familiar with it.
First problem is, tapping "Launch Browser" on the Internet tab does not work. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that the Opera browser was not installed on my device! Now, as far as I know, it should come already in all devices. So, I downloaded the Opera 9.5 browser off their website. How can I set it up so when I tap "Launch Browser" on the Internet tab, Opera 9.5 will automatically run? Currently tapping it still does nothing.
Second is, I've been hearing about this "Windows" folder in the HTC Touch Pro. I can't seem to locate this. When I browse for it with my computer, the name of the TP's "hard drive" is "\", and then I see the following folders:
Application Data, ConnMgr, Content, Documents and Settings, Music, My Documents, Program Files, cemail (hidden file), pim
Is this root folder the "Windows" folder?
Third thing is, in the "Programs" tab in TF3D, there's this icon there that when I press (looks like the default icon for a folder in Vista), it gives me an error. It says "The file 'wt5jetpr' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
There we go, that's all. Thank you, if you've read this far.
I can't help with the Opera thing but as for your Windows folder, it's a system file and hidden. You will have to unhide it in your Vista/XP operating system before you can see it using your PC>
You see, I already enabled the viewing of hidden folders. There aren't any other items other than the ones I listed.
EDIT: I tried creating a folder called "Windows" and Vista tells me I can't, because a folder of the same name already exists.
That's weird.. hidden folders are already enabled and I still can't see it.
Hiya, i'm a bit of a noob myselft with regards to wm6.1 so for the opera issue i dont think i could be much help with that same with the file that wont delete so i hope someone else will answer that, to see ur windows folder though when the phone is connected to the pc open up explorer on ur pc and click on tools/folder options then click on view and make sure either the "hide protected operating system files" box is unchecked &/or the "show hidden system files box is checked and this should let you see the windows folder.
Hope this helps.
EDIT: looks like someone already answered in the time it took me to type that, my own fault for multitasking ...

Same thing as you, when I browse to the device from Windows Explorer.
However, if I go to Tools - Folder Options - View tab and I select "Show hidden files and folders", the Windows directory is displayed.

By the name, it looks like it is JetCet Print 5.
Strange you have these errors. Do you use a custom ROM?
PS: been too slow to answer too. but at least the answers match ;-)
I'm not using a custom rom =\. The rom came with my device.
It's:
1.90.405.1.WWE
It's a HTC Touch Pro T7272
Then I advise you to do a Hard Reset. Opera and JetCet print should be there, and should not give you any certificate errors.
I advise you to read a lot these forums, gather as much info as you can, and experimenting with your device. You have a powerhouse in your hands, you know? you have unlimited possibilities. Any questions should you have must be asked.
Alright, I'll give that a try tomorrow after the day's gone so I have lots of time to figure things out.
Sorry for the double post, but I figure this message won't get read if I simply edit my last post.
Anyways, I hard resetted the device and I got Opera and that printing program working! Thanks creiz.
Just one last thing I'm trying to figure out.. is there any way I can get a custom alarm ring tone without downloading a program? (I'm trying to avoid having to do that if possible)
Guys,
I have a load of internet shortcuts (bookmarks) on my PPC under Windows\Favorites which are read by PIE and are displayed on QuickMenu however!...
When I try and run one of these files and choose either PIE or Opera, I get in the address bar (url) the location of the file and not the website it supposedly points to.
If I choose the favorite from within PIE then all is well. Strange!!!
I've been looking for an answer for a while now and am drawing a blank.
Please someone help. I'm starting to get a headache
Oh, I should probably tell you I have WM6.1 Pro (HTC Touch HD).
Thanks
Wayne
Windows Mobile doesn't read ".url" file naively. The files you are messing with are resourse files for the browsers (the browsers pull information from the file, you can't push the information by clicking them) There are programs that open your 'internet favorites" (m2d, ultimate launch, and "Interent link launcher")
Thanks for the reply joel2009!
Is there an app that I can install that can handle the .url file type and run the browser with the url from the file?
Anyone able to answer this?...
quickmenu loads as favorites, the contents of the favorites folder inside the windows directory. Now if I delete this favorites folder from the windows directory, on Quickmenu, all I'm left with under favorites is a few Opera shortcuts that load Opera and do work.
Any ideas where these Opera favorites are found so I can manually add to this list?
Thanks for your help!
Wayne
interent link launcher uses mortsript to open internet link files (i'm not sure of the extension, i haven't had time to try it yet)
On the opera favorites, opera asks you where you want to save the bookmark file too when you create one.
Come on guys.....
I've found this and if you go down the list and find \urlfile\Shell\Open\Command : REG_SZ it shows the necessary registry entry that is needed to run a url file from explorer and when run this file opens within IE correctly.
There must be a command switch that follows OPERA9.EXE or OPERAL.EXE that interprets the file correctly and opens the web page.
For now I've got it set to open files in to IE. Not great but nearly what I want.
(I posted about this last night, but it got lost -- apologies if the old one comes back and I look like I've posted twice.)
I worked out a solution to this problem, and posted it up at ppcgeeks. You have to install mortscript, but otherwise it's not too bad, and has been working flawlessly for me.

I have SKTools, Total Commander, and Registry Key Editors.
I tried setting up file associations to open URL files, but it doesn't work. Only PIE opens the URL files by default.
Can I get the instructions to open URL files with Opera Browser?
Bump, please help me.
This is my 1st bump.
Bump, please help me.
This is my 2nd bump.
As far as I know you can set up thatparameters typing opera:config on your device
Hope it helped,
So do you mean the file associations parameters should be "opera:config"?
URL associations are set up by the app you're using.
if opera is defined as your default browser any url you'll open will automatically pop opera up.
Okay, I am using File Explorer and Total Commander. I want to Open .url files with Opera, it opens with PIE instead.
How do I open it?
What is a "default calendar"?
When I set URL file association for Total Commander, the link does not go online, instead it brings me to an error page. Under the URL box in Opera Browser, it would not show www.google.com, instead it would show something like: storage card/%mystuff/%20favorite links
So if I copied a google.com url into my phone storage card, I want to open it and GO ONLINE with Opera Browser NOT PIE. How do i do this?
PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE ATTACHMENT, SO YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT KIND OF FILE I AM TALKING ABOUT.
meant browser.. not calendar.
when you setup a default browser it will open up all urls in it... automatically

I used Xperia Tweak to setup Opera Browser as my default browser, I still open google.url and it opens with PIE.
My basic file program is Total Commander.
BTW I am not talking about Microsoft Windows. I am talkin about Windows Mobile, and the phone I use is the Xperia X1.
Why is everyone giving me confusing answers. I'm getting more and more confused.
I have looked extremely hard for file associations for opera browser, and this is what i got:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1714441
I do not use morthscript though, and I'm afraid digging into will cause me to factory reset my phone again, and I have rest my phone 10 times already.
Please, tell me if there is any other way to Open URLs via Opera Browser.
I have this program which i downloaded ages ago. I cant remember where i got it from, so im just uploading it myself. Just to clarify, this is NOT my program.
You know how on a pc, you can right click and select "Open with"?
Well, this cab brings that to pocket pc's
Hope it helps
Yeah this is exactly what I was looking for. The thread link from one of my posts also talks about "open with" method. But I don't want to use mortscript.
If your cab is not going to work, I guess I will give up searching for a solution.
Anyways thanks, you are my miracle!.
Here is an update:
Nope... it opens Opera Browser but than it doesn't go to the website (the same exact thing happens if I set file associations for Opera, and the same exact thing still happens if I use the registry editor to change association values, xperia tweak doesn't work, total commander built in file associations doesn't work, sk tools file associations doesn't work either).
I GIVE UP
Registry settings
Hi
Registry settings where file defaults are is:
Hot Key Classes Root.
In this directory there are hundreds (or more) keys relating to all the different file extensions that are associated with programmes, etc. You need to look for:
.htm
.html
htmfile
htmlfile
There may be others. Basically if these keys exist the values you're looking for are the ones with the browser executable listed in them, for example opera9.exe/operaL.exe, iexplore.exe.
I hope that helps

as i see it you ar not talking of .htm or .html files.
You are talking off .url File's
normaly (xp) they are handled by the protocol handler
in wm6.1 there is no such thing and it is directly handeled by iexplore
opera wil not handle these i gues
you need to find a app that reads the urlfile an launh the app with the correct parrameters
you also need this
\hkcr\http,URL Protocol,
\hkcr\http\shell\open\command, ,"\windows\operaL.exe" %1
\hkcr\https,URL Protocol,
\hkcr\https\shell\open\command, ,"\windows\operaL.exe" %1
or you can try http://sourceforge.net/projects/jzsmartmort

It involves installing Mortscript, and having it handle passing the links to Opera. Seems to be working perfectly for me so far. Hopefully my instructions are not too convoluted. Enjoy.
May sound dumb, but where are they? Found IE favorites (pretty easy) but where are the opera book marks?
I want to manually back everything up, cold boot and start over. Want all the data off to drag back on after reset.
Thanks.
Ever hear of Google? Search?
Anyhow, they are in windows/opera/. A file called opera9
I did google search, and it kept giving me an adr file which isn't on my machine, or the Opera forum which actually said you can't move bookmarks from one phone to another with "mini."
I'll look for the file you posted.

That would be the Opera6.adr file.
Windows/Opera9/Opera6.adr.
Thank you for taking the time to reply. Amazing that you would look for an opera 6 file for an Opera 9 program. Even more amazing is that Opera wants to be big in browsing, but they make it so difficult to back up, move, or import bookmarks/favorites. As much crap as Microsoft gets, at least they made it simple with a favorites folder. Migration is a snap.
Thanks again, polite and no stupid donate button for an insulting, wrong reply.
How to create an intranet on Droid X or Android
Hi, I'm a newbie and hope this has not been asked before. I have transferred 20,000 + html files and some pdf files (consisting of primarily text) to my Droid X. They are stored in a folder on my SD card. I can locate the folder. However, all of the file managers require that the entire folder be read before I can even dream of opening one of the files in that folder for viewing.
After an interminable wait, I see all of the 20,000 plus files but cannot get to the one I want to open which links to the other files. In other words, I have 20,000 + files on my SD card that, effectively speaking, I can neither access nor view. This is a database of legal cases and statutes, etc. which I need for my work. I would love to be able to search for specific text as well but first things first. On my office and home computers, these files are conveniently linked by a html menu system (local html files) which permits easy and rapid access. I would like to re-create this menu system and the ease of use on my Droid X. Essentially, what I need is the ability to create a local intranet on my Droid X using one of the Droid browers (e.g. Dolphin, Opera, Galpagos, etc.)
I have tried the local webserver solution which is inadequate and too cumbersome. Obviously, the Android file managers are hopeless for this task.
If this problem cannot be solved, I am faced with two other undesirable situations. 1. I can
open an account on a cloud server and upload my files to it, which would probably permit me to access them by my Droid X the way that any web page on the Web can be accessed. The other solution is using a remote access type program to access my office or home computer to see the files. From previous experience with the latter option (using my office computer from my home computer), it is painfully slow. Since I have roughly 4 gigs of html data I want to access, I would prefer to avoid the (albeit minimal) expense of a subscription for use of a cloud.
Any advice which would permit me to quickly and efficiently access and view my html files on the Droid would be most appreciated. Free apps, if applicable, would be preferred, but I am getting desperate. I have tried webservers, eg I-Jetty, etc., and I have tried Astro File manager and similar apps. They do not even come close to what I want. I have learned that Android has forbidden this kind of access/viewing (the kind I need) due to security concerns.
Any apps? Any fixes? Workarounds?
Essentially, what I seek to do is transfer what is akin to an intranet on my office and home computers on my Droid X. Please offer any advice.
Thanks to one and all.
Phil
Sounds like what you want is actually a web server app for Android. I did a quick Google, and it looks like there are some apps that can do that for you. So long as you don't open any ports on your phone, the site shouldn't be accessible from outside your phone (but I could be wrong about that).
