[Q] Opera Mini v5.1 Question - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Forgive me if I post something that someone has already answered, search is down at this very moment and I can't use it.
One quick question, the new Opera Mini 10 supposedly has screen rotation built in. I installed it to my hd2 yesterday and can't for the life of me figure out how to get it to work. Anyone have the answer to this one?
The new version does have something I have been waiting for a long time. It will actually let you set it as the default browser now. That in itself made the download worth my effort. ;-)

Get the Opera 10 instead,install it on your Storage card that way will keep the original as well,when first installed, it will ask you if you want to make it default browser,you can also watch Youtube on it if enabled the PlugIns in the settings>advance,something that Opera Mini cant do.
Just search for, TX OPERA 10.

Thanks but no thanks, I know all about Opera 10, been around the block a time or two myself. I just want to get the screen rotation functionality working in Mini 5.1 as it states that it supports it. I want Opera Mini as my default browser also as it is much quicker than 9 or 10 for all around use. If I want to view Youtube in a browser I use Skyfire or the native Youtube app.
Thanks anyways ..... HTR

hmmmm, no one has the answer for this question?

It works on mine, both 10 and the new Mini, but i do also have BsB tweaks installed, so that may have sommit to do with it?

Did you add it to the list of rotated apps in BSB or did rotation just automatically work after you installed the new Mini 5.1? Just wondering about that.
I finally just gave up and added it to the list in BSB to get it to work, even though it is supposed to support screen rotation on it's own now.
Thanks ..... HTR

I didnt add it at all, but I do already have Opera_MainWndClass in the rotation list of BsB Tweaks, must use the same name as Opera 10?

Mine started to rotate automatically also. I kinda want to turn it off.
I do love the much faster scrolling now!
*edit*
Opera provided a forum post with different registry edits that we can use.

Problem with Sounds & Notifications Reseting!

I'm having a problem with my Sounds and Notifications on my phone. The default is for none of them to be checked. Is there a way to make the deafault to everything checked? I check everything and it works fine for about a day and then they all become unchecked again and I have to be constantaly re-checking them. It keeps resetting some how. Does anybody know why that keeps happening? I checked OEMizer and it's not one of the options on it. Just to change the type of tone it makes.
Thank you for your help and time.

You're using the newest public beta of Opera 9, aren't you?
From the Opera Mobile download page (http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/download/):
Opera Mobile 9.5 beta
* Windows Mobile 5/6 Pocket PC, version 9.51b1(Touchscreen-based devices only)
Known issues
* ActiveX is disabled — Flash plugins and embedded video streaming do not work.
* Custom IME’s (like HTC’s IME) will be buggy at best, not working at worst.
* Not multilingual build — Only English is supported. Problems with other languages (and input methods) are not unexpected.
* Installation on memory cards may cause problems.
* Text wraps in overview mode.
* Main testing has been done on English HTC devices (Touch Diamond, Touch Pro, Touch, Touch Dual, Touch Cruise, TyTN and Wizard) and Samsung i900.
* We have got reports from some users that this build will disable the phones sounds/notifications.

OMG! Yes, I am. How did you figure that out? OK, I just upgraded my ROM to 3.2.3, so I won't install Opera on it this time and see if that fixes the problem. I guess everytime I ran Opera my settings reset? Well, that sucks, I was starting to like it. Is there another Opera solution that isn't a Beta and so buggy and free? Thanks!!
Wow, I was having this issue too. But I have been too busy to figure it out. This helps out immensely.
Thanks!
Does anybody know if the latest build has the same problems? I guess if you install it on the phone memory instead of the memory card you have less problems. Right now the latest build is 1660.

YOU DA MAN!... jeez! i was so confused about why this was going on.. thanks for solving the mystery!!! i owe ya!!
i love opera over stupid ie... opera's smooth and silky and full of life savers, like username and password saving for webpages.. its a pain in the arse on a mobile device to have to re-enter that all the time in IE.. so opera's ability to handle this was a godsend!....and zooming page navigation is such a no brainer to me... who the heck is on the IE developer team?? they're really dropping the ball compared to the features of other browsers...
i really hope they get this bug fixed... and i really hope they get the flash plugins working.. the ability to stream pandora would be worth my hard earned cash!! free is great, but i'd pay for a browser that let me get my pandora... would make the workouts much more enjoyable....

the bug is fixed, but not widely publicized(the file even has the same name, but different date).....goto opera's site and download the beta again....be sure to uninstall the old beta first and soft-reset before installing the new one.

Is this even possiable?

I have 2 questions about my Mogul.
1- Is it possiable to change the default web browser to something other then PIE? for instance if i click on a link in my email i would like it to open in Opera Mini-Java, can taht be done? Or at least done in some other browser?
2 - Can i get Sprint TV on my phone yet? I know it was out there for a while as i had it, then it was deactivated. It is part of my plan and i would like to use it if i can. But i'm using DCD's latest ROM which doesn't have it, if it is possiable can someone package (or point me to) an installer?
And a shout out to all of you guys who do this stuff for beer and such these mod's are so amazing!
Thanks!

I don't know if this file will help or not.
If you upgrade to the latest official Sprint ROM, you will get SprintTV included/installed along with it.
You can find the latest official ROM here:
http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=75&act=sd (3.56)
As far as using another browser as your default, I'm afraid I just put up with PIE and have never looked at switching. I presume it is a registry setting.
Try looking at:
HKEY_Classes_Root\http\Shell\Open\Command and change the default value to your preferred browser. Like I said, I've never done it, but it makes sense to me.
Let me know if that works.
Thanks.

And that's how I got the cab. After installing the rom... clicking on Sprint TV... brought the dialog for the CAB file. LOL
there's a thread on the development and hacking page called jzsmartmort. it'll allow you to change your default browser to whatever you want (opera mini, skyfire etc). its worked for me, and pretty simple to do. install a cab and click the option you like within the jzsmartmort prog.

It looks like there are a huge number of "mime" types in the HKCR branch like \HKCR\http\Shell\Open\Command that points to IE. So you would have to change all these to point to Opera and cross your fingers it works.
EDIT: Use the JZ SmartMort it is sweet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=382043
Or you could just use my Opera Mini or Java Pack located in my signature.

I believe it is the right key. My pda opens up in opera mobile 8.65 when I follow email links. I didn't know how it knew to do that. Checking this key shows that it is set to
"\Program Files\Opera\OperaLaunch.exe" %1
Perfect!
GC's installer worked perfect as well as the installer for the Sprint TV, infact i'm watching it now, now if i could just get the audio from Sprint TV to go through my Bluetooth headset i'd be set!
Thanks alot all!
You might try BTaudio. I have used it to send audio from wm player to my headset. I don't know why it wouldn't work for TV as well.

Opera on Titan

Hey folks..
I have had bad luck with the recent versions of opera on my Titan. I was wondering if anyone would know which version works best on the Titan and which activeX/flash add-ons to grab. I would prefer to install it to the SD, but I'll take what I can get. I would also prefer to be able to uninstall it if needed (ran into a couple I had to manually uninstall). Thanks in advance for your responses....

Well, I've had great luck using Opera 9.5 Beta 2 [official] on DCD's clean kitchen ROMs.
Switched recently to Scrosler's Round 4 and was forced to try 9.5 v2808, but did not like the default settings and could not access my previous opera.config.
I haven't liked any version that I've found. Opera seems to go crazy with memory instead of managing it better, and they still haven't added the option to not pop up the virtual keyboard when I click on a text box?

Try PHM Ext. Keyboard & Sleuth's SIP change and you will never be bothered again.
Also, it helps to configure Opera to get a reasonable browsing experience.

Opera Mini 5 Beta 2 - SUPER FAST

This is an OLD Thread and for this reason decide to edit the topic and everything to be up to date.
New OPERA MINI 5 beta 2 is out, like a single cab and is native for WM devices.
All i can say for this...
ITS SUPERB FAST AND SMOOTH BROWSER i just love it.
For more info just visit www.opera.com
Check JZ SmartMort. Search for it at this forum.
Is there a signed version?
Yeah is there a signed version? Also, does it have a full download manager built in? And how is it better than Opera 10 beta?
http://www.opera.com/mini/next/
it says
Download manager
Manage downloads right from the browser. Pause and resume downloads to suit your needs.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so I guess there is a download manager
Just ran some tests on it. Its as fast as opera mobile 4.2 so I can gladly ditch that browswer. Opera 10 beta 2 is no were near as fast as mini 5 b2. Not really happy with the direction that one is going.
I have done some searching but there is nothing right now as far as shortcuts or default browser cabs. Must be to soon, so if anyone find anything post it here or a link to the thread.
Signed Opera 5 Beta 2 you can find here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592551

owilsky already answered that up above.
At the moment JZ SmartMort needs to be updated for Mini 5 Beta 2, but the author said he'll probably have that ready tonight.
So what are the differences between 10 for mobile and 5 mini?
Opera 5 is very similar but lighter on ram, also it uses the proxy server only... Opera Mobile can render the pages locally on the device.

I have installed opera mini 4 and i want to use it after installing opera mini 5 via cab? is this possible? with other cab installers of opera mini 5 opera mini 4 is not listed in java any longer!
thx for help
Just tried, much improved from beta 1 especially on the scrolling.
However kinda sluggish on TP2 using JBED. OM4.2 is *much* faster, so I'll stick to OM4.2 for now till OM5 can catch up with the speed.
I wouldn't recommend using your own SIP rather than the default one in Mini.... it becomes unstable if you use a regular SIP. You will still get freezes and sometimes you cannot exit the text entry window. If you use the crappy one provided by Opera then it works fine.

What's the best browser for this device (mini pro?)

My brother just got this phone, and he's loving it! We've got CM6 up and running. Is the default browser the best one? Or is there another browser he should look at? I ask specific to this device, and not to android in general, due to the relatively small screen size.

I personally like Opera Mobile a lot, it works very well on my Mini and it has support for HTML5 videos, you should also get Skyfire for general flash video support.
I've found opera not to support multi-touch on my mini pro, dolphin mini or dolphin hd do though. +1 for skyfire

Skyfire 4 FTW, Dolphin Mini is not that bad either.
Skyfire is not compatible with X10 Mini Pro?
Skyfire is fully compatible, just using it. When you can't play videos on Skyfire4, uninstall it, download Skyfire 3, run Skyfire 3, uninstall Skyfire 3 and than install Skyfire 4 and you will get licence for watching videos

But don`t appears in market to download....
You will need to use the hacked market from the development forum as the market will not show skyfire due to our screen resolution, despite this skyfire runs beautifully.
You can download .apk file and install it manualy, just search for it.
i suggest you use skyfire too, works like a charm on the phone
Opera Mini 6 on my Xperia mini pro works great and supports dualtouch...
If you are on slow GPRS or EDGE connections than Opera Mini is the fastest among all the browsers that I have tried.
Miren browser comes close to opera mini in terms of performance on slow connections and has an option of clearing the cache and exiting so that the RAM memory can be reclaimed by the operating system.
So what exactly has to be done, to find Skyfire in the market?
I already tried "Market Enabler", but that one didn't do the job, and although I searched for it, I could not find the .apk to install it manually. I looked through the dev forum, but could not find a "hacked" market.
I am running MiniCM7-2.1.8 btw.

Works for me too!
I am using Dolphin Mini Browser now, as it seems to be the best option for such "low end" mobile.
From what I read Opera is closed source and the traffic is "optimized" using their proxy servers, which means they can track & analyze all your steps in the web, which is nothing I would trust (as if one isn't already sharing enough data in the net). But to be honest, I don't really know the situation concerning the Dolphin company as well, so both may be in the same ship?
I haven't used the browser on the mobile much by now, so I can not really tell if it is the best option, but it will have to do for now.
Can anybody recommend a good open source browser for Android? On my PC I only use Firefox and Midori, but unfortunately those are not an option on the phone.
you should try uc browser works perft on my psp go
and on my iphone 3gs so it should work fine on xperia
by the way , whats that market called blackmarket ??
Ok opera it is fast and nice looking. But many pages not showing good. Thay are smashed. I lot travell in my country with buses. And when i need to open the page with timetravel table it is all smashed, evan id i unchack text warp. Also page of my university had view proble, with opera.
