How do you uninstall Opera 9.5? It doesn't appear on remove programs. Also it is now my default browser and there's no way to turn that off.
I'll see what I can find. In the meantime, should you ever want to install Opera 9.5 Beta in the future (after you flash a ROM for example), you should use Chanifire .cab here. As this allows you to uninstall it via "remove programs"
File Chanifire.cab not found, I have the same problem. There is someone that have unistall Opera Mobile 9.5 beta?
there was 2 versions
one where you cannot uninstall
one where you can
-both in the same opera 9.5 thread in develpment and hacking
but all u have to do is delete the opera files in windows folder(2) and go to appdata and delete that. There may be a few reg entries changed but nothing to worry about :]
I removed it by searching for opera after synchronization with the computer in the PDA windows - 4 files were found - these were deleted
How do you get into Setup on Opera9
Does anyone know how to get into the setup for Opera 9 - I somehow did it one time and now cannot figure out how.
I so far like this browser - way better than the mini! What is needed is for someone to tweak the chooser script and substitute mini for this one and that way we can choose between ie and O9 when a link is clicked.
There a a ton of files & registry entries you must delete manually.
I kinda like opera, (it's really 9.33 btw) but I hate how it hijacks html, htm, xml, etc...
What I did was use my latest sprite back up & did a partial restore. What you do is launch sprite, select restore, select the most recent backup file, uncheck everything *except the one check box for system settings located in the system data tab. Then restore only that infomation.
This will reset your recent registry & file association setting only. It will leave your programs & other data intact.
Then if you want to uninstall you only have to delete the 2 opera file in \Windows & the \Application Data\Opera9 files.
If you just delete these files you will have problems with file associations & that is a bit more difficult to fix unless you know the correct Executable & image files to point to.

This would only require a modification of the Mortscript file used for Opera mini.

Okay, & now go open an xml or html file
I know that the mortscript needs to be changed.
My main question is how do you get into the setup for Opera 9 - does anyone know the way?
What do you mean by "setup"???
Are you talking about the direction as to where files & registry changes are made? Then Try Below:
If you're talking about regular Settings then you touch the lower right part of the screen, Press the arrow that pops up then scroll to settings.
ALSO: you can open up any of the .ini files located in \Application Data\Opera9\xxxx (xxx= any of the folders beyond) using notepad or with Resco's internal viewer. They can also be modified using your desktop notepad.
I figured it out, thanks - the problem is that on my Tilt, in Portrait mode the icon for setup is missing due to the large size of the icons on the bottom.
I was in landscape mode when I got it to work .
For now, I am using netfront 3.5 - not as nice looking but works better overall.
I am on the waiting list to try skyfire.
I feel like I should just go on vacation for a couple months (or sleep) and when I wakeup all these problems (drivers etc, better iphone like interface) will be solved!!
Does anyone know where we can make a formal complaint to opera about its hijacking our file associations? I refuse to use this software anymore until I know this will not happen. It has made for a long night of reg edits that didn't really get me anywhere. After manually configuring pie to be my default browser I still couldn't open .htm files by clickin' on the in my file browser, had to backup to yesterdays settings and I change many things on a daily basis, Well restoring settings is finished I have allot of work to redo...

It's a leaked version. They even warned you.
This is not 9.5 beta please change the title.
Has anyone figured out how to restore file associations after installing this FUC... ****?
Thanks
How can be removed this version. I manage now to use version 8.65 but how can I regain those 8mb without hardreset?
BTW, I found that not too many people know or remember this, but you can type "Opera:Config" into the address bar to get into the advanced setup features for Opera.

Hi,
Where can I find uninstallable version?

Asaf
So just deleting the files will do it? If I don't fix the registry will it ruin it? Which cabs are uninstallable?

Hi Team,
Opera mini 4 has made my mobile surfing heaven. Good bye PIE! Thank god.
However. I have two queries.
1. Anyone know how to get shot of the annoying "Allo Net Access" Prompt every time i run the midlet? In my Java prog under security I only get "Ask" and "Never Allow". Need an "Always Allow" option, but it's just not there.
2. How the hell do i directly link to a java program, without having to first boot up java, then choose the app? I know this will be possible, but haven't fathomed it yet. I'm wanting to stuff the link under the internet button so I can be rid of PIE for ever.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Matt
OM4 is a java midlet - you must access it through Java. You can make shortcut on Today screen.
As to the "allowing network access", after you have opened program, go to Bookmarks and then Opera Mini - you will find options there. But basically, you will always have to check allow access to network.
Both can be done.
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-...ed-includes-info-new-java-midlet-manager.html
EDIT: I attached the files discussed in case you don't want to register.
Yes, both can be done. Here are the simplest instructions I put together a while back.
http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1270419
And yes, grab the fix.zip in the last post above and you can skip step 1 in my instructions in the linked thread...
The issue with the direct link works fine. But I have already tried to modifiy the selector.utf in both ways, by the fix and by using an hex editor.
But I still get this damn access questions.
I use a TyTNII with shipped HTC Rom with Opera Mini 4 final installed.
The description in your posted link is for OM beta2. May it be that modifications
are not suitable anymore for version 4 final?
A solution would be great.

Edit: Ok, seen in the link of the last post from jomo25 that the version of jbed is the cause. Thanx for the info.
Icon
This is all perrrrfect. Is there a way to change the Icon?
if you want to make a shortcut to launch Opera Mini directly:
Use a Notepad on your PC to create simple text file. And it should only contain the following text:
28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s1_
BUT you may need to edit it and replace the S1_ with something else. if this is the only Java app you have installed and used, then most likely you want to use S0_ in place of S1_.
Name it Opera.lnk (or whatever you want it to say).
And then copy it to your "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" folder.

I can launch Opera Mini in Esmertec Jbed with no problem.
I can see the Opera Mini with the same logo as Esmertec Jbed in Programs (I change the name to Opera Mini.lnk),
but I just can't launch Opera Mini by tapping it.
I tried both s0_ and s1_ but get the same result, it says:
Could not find suite s1_
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or
Could not find suite s0_
Click to expand...

It might be s2, s3 or more - the s# changes based on how many other java apps you previously installed. Even if you had one and deleted it, it still counts as one. So try some more numbers.
Also Hans- make sure you are using JBED and it should work.

Thanks enigmaneo, it works for me, too
Also make sure you ALWAYS check out the Wiki - I've explained all these questions in my Opera Mini- and MIDlet-related tutorials & articles (see for example http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=The (Java) MIDlet Bible and http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...n use Opera Mini as the system-level browser! - make sure you follow the links from the latter)
Thanks for this info... took me to "s7" until it worked. Thought I was doing something wrong...
UPDATE (11/30/2007): The link association problem has been fixed for WM6 in the meantime (see my last article on the association). This means you can already have the system invoke Opera Mini when you click a link in an e-mail / in any document.
Note that there are still newer and newer versions and optimizations (even faster and faster versions of the invoker script to minimize waiting for Opera Mini to be invoked) published in the Comments section of my related blog post; that is, make sure you also follow it.
And, again, now that you can easily invoke it from any other application (including the most important Messaging) by just clicking any link, Opera Mini HAS become a REAL alternative to all the other, mostly commercial alternatives on Windows Mobile. Make sure you give Opera Mini a try: you may fall in love with it. It’s really powerful. It’s plain great –(most of the times) much faster and cleaner than anything else.

I couldn't agree more. This little fix with turning off the notification to accept the session has made it a lot more usable to me. The browser is awesome and while it can be slow sometimes due to formatting the page, etc., I wouldn't use anything else. PIE simply falls flat in comparison.
I just really dig the screen scrolling with my fingernail (screen protector on there of course).
I did managed to get the shortcut to work but for some reason i just can't get the notification removed. I've downloaded the fix, patched the "Selector" file, replaced it in the phone but it still won't work & yes i did download the JBED from the link given...still no luck. Anything i may have missed out?

You, then, can just use the hack described at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1666254&postcount=6 - it'll work. Also make sure you read the entire thread.
I don't know what I am doing wrong. I even copied the text from the post and I have gone through 0-8. When I tap the opera icon it opens the text file. I have even tried it with and without the extra quotation marks.

Did you also try the hacked JAR file I linked to? It WILL work if you deploy it locally and manually set the Blanket model.

Hi! Would one of you mind checking a reg entry for a poor Titan user? I'm in the states and so of course will not have access to a diamond for a bit yet. I am trying to get Opera to open up when I click on a favorite within file explorer. This will allow me to continue to use activesync to back up my bookmarks, since I cannot install desktop opera on my work computer.
Anyway, I have opera doing everything except for this, and as I understand it, Diamonds have Opera installed as the default browser. Could some kind soul either export or cut and paste the contents of the HKCR/.url key?
Thanks!
Ive installed the latest opera beta and used various aps to have the new version of the browser (not the one that came with the phone) launch from the touchflo3d menus. However, it still seems to be displaying the bookmarks from the old opera, when I edit bookmarks in the new beta they don't display on the browser touchflo tab.
For now, I copied the opera6.adr file from the beta 9.5 application data folder and overwrote the .adr file in the windows programs directory where the standard opera that came with the phone stores its files.
However, is there a registry edit or app that will allow me to edit the path to the bookmarks file that touchflo uses in its interface?

Hi!
I had this problem and eventually found that it is hard-coded in one of the LUA scripts. Sorry, don't know which one from memory. I tried decompiling this script, but I could not get it compliled again - even without changing a character.
So I'm sorry to say that you can't do it that way.
There IS however something you can try:
Open Opera and type opera:config in the title bar.
Under "Saved Settings" and "User Prefs" there's a bunch of paths you can modify.
You might try the "Opera Directory" path under "User Prefs".
Hope this helps.
From a quick look at the first-boot-scripts it seems that the opera6.adr file is placed eventually in \windows\opera9\opera6.adr.
The default bookmarks are cooked in in a file \windows\_opera6.adr and when you first turn on your phone it copies / moves the file to \windows\opera9\opera6.adr. The path also comes up while searching through several _manila files so that also seems to be the location where TouchFlo is looking for the bookmarks.
If you want that Internet tab to be integrated with _another_ browser you have a lot of Decompiling, recompiling, editing of LUA code and hex-editing work to.
Changing browser to point to Opera Mobile 9.5 beta
Someone else posted this & I copied into a Word doc, so I apologize for not giving proper credit:
All you need to do is to modify a file named “InternetPortal-en-US.xml” which is located in \Application Data\Manila. Use the freeware application Total Commander to navigate to this file and once you locate it press the pen/paper icon on the bottom of the page and that will open the file on the screen so you can edit it. Just so everyone knows, we’re not tweaking the registry here. I’m just using Total Commander because it is more powerful than File Explorer so don’t be afraid of it
Ok, once the file is open in Total Commander just add one of the following lines after the line <InternetPortal> which is towards the top:
Opera is:
<BrowserExe>\Windows\OperaL.exe</BrowserExe>
mobile\OperaL.exe</BrowserExe>
Internet Explorer is:
<BrowserExe>\Windows\iexplore.exe</BrowserExe>
SkyFire is:
<BrowserExe>\program files\skyfire\skyfire.exe</BrowserExe>
Iris is:
<BrowserExe>\program files\iris browser\irisbrowser.exe</BrowserExe>
I installed Opera Mobile 9.5 beta to my storage card, so my new path is:
<BrowserExe>\storage card\program files\opera
*Note if you can't save your changes - make sure that the file isn't set on "read only" (click the hand holding the paper icon and uncheck the "read only" box. You may have to click twice to remove the setting)
Yeah I do not see that file anywhere
I have the Sprint branded HTC Diamond and the \Application Data\Manila folder does not exist, I am using Total Commander.

I saw this as a solution to make 9.5 default if you lose 9.5 as the default browser. Are you saying if I upgraded to 9.7 beta, this process will make my 9.7 bookmarks the bookmarks in the TF3D internet tab?
Apologies for starting another thread on this browser.
I had installed a version of Opera Mobile which I liked very much however, there was no option for me to tell it that I wanted PIE to be the default browser. The reason I need PIE to be the default browser is that I have a number of programmes the use PIE that screw up with Opera.
I have had a good look around on here and it would seem that there are several versions, it got me all a bit lost as I don't want to keep installing and uninstalling.
Plus, I'm not sure which is best Mini or Mobile? Finally, how do I reset the file associations for web files eg. *.xml to be associated with PIE?
Any help would be mucho appreciated.
Anyone? Mini or Mobile?
For Full Browsing experience: Mobile
For limited bandwidth (or expensive data plan): Mini.
I don't quite care which version of Mobile, as I trust the chef' of my ROM cooked the most useful (and stable) one.
Thanks for the info. Have downloaded the latest Mobile version from Opera's website, all seems ok so far....
It is a bit un-intuitive as far as what you must do to get .XML/.HTML/Help files to open correctly again - here is the process:
I use the Total Commander File Explorer, which upon opening the context menu of a file and selecting properties, will allow you to select a program association for that file type. I'm sure it can be done in other programs as well, but the bottom line is that you want to change the program to:
iexplore.exe
And set the following as parameters:
file:%1
and (this being the part that am somewhat uncertain as to why it is necessary... but it IS) set the icon file to:
browsres.dll
with the Icon Index set to:
-6703
That should do it.

Hi,
I have a wiered problem!
I copied my opera6.adr file from my Diamond 1 over to Diamond 2 in Windows/Opera9 folder but each time I start Opera application, the file gets overwritten.
It seems that I can't manually change the file, it kinda check it md5 checksum or something and reset the file to its original? Could that be the case?
Anybody has the same problem?
Yeah, I have a similar problem, but I'm trying to copy from Opera Desktop to mobile, I've tried every which way I can think of, but each time it reverts back to the previous file and previous (not stock original, but my edited) bookmarks.
I thought it might have something to do with either Opera staying resident in memory or the files not being compatiable.
Anyone had any sucess on the TD2 ??
fixed!
Found a solution
Actually Opera is running the background somehow "always"
Use TaskManager to kill the process and then copy your opera6.adr to Windows/Opera9.
DONE!
Let me know if it works for you also.
OMG it works...
I ended the opera.exe using the CleanRam program, as opera does not show up in the standard task manager, then copied the opera6.adr file to Windows/opera and it works... ...well nearly...
I had to edit my PC version adr file to match the mobile version, they are different:

As you can see the mobile version has more = and the other info is different.
Before I altered it I was getting double folders appearing in the TD2, but after I edited the bookmarks in Word, using Find & Replace to add the extra = to all the = (then remove the extra = from the very top lines (Options))
Great I now have all my bookmarks, what a to do though.
good
Well, I didn't mean the buildt-in task manager! I mean Task Manager from FdcSoft which you can use to see all running processes etc..
But anyhow, great it works for you now
So many Task Managers !!!
Do you have an problem if you select Bookmarks from Touchflo itself rather than from inside Opera, if I click the Bookmarks softkey it locks up Touchflo (and most of the rest of the device)???
It might have something to do with the amount of bookmarks I've got!
Also, although I don't think this problem is related, the other softkey 'Menu' doesn't do anything when clicked, just highlights and thats it, very odd.
dont know
well, actually I dont use Touchflo as I like to see lots of things at once I use windows today plugins to see everything in one screen
