Reprogram the IE Button to Opera?

Greets,
Having searched the forum for "reprogram internet explorer button" and "reprogram IE button" I figured I should take the leap and ask the question ...
I have Opera Mini set up, using the LNK "hack". Does anyone know if the Tilt Hard-Button for IE can be reprogrammed to run Opera instead of PIE?
Thanks!

I don't know what the LNK hack is but by default the answer would be no as to be able to be assigned to a program shortcut in your start menu. Now, if the LNK hack is some sort of way to create a shortcut that opens Java Midlet Manager, then opens the Opera Java app, then you could possibly get the button remapped. What is the LNK hack?

Yes ... so how do I map?
Your second alternative is correct - it is a LNK file which runs the midlet, then runs opera, without the inquiries as to connection, etc. Tapping it simply has opera ready to go.
... and I have it remapped - THANKS!

no problem....

Remapping the IE button for automatically opening the midlet manager, then opera...
How? Your email says to do it, and someone replies thanks... but HOW do you do it?

If you have a .lnk to OperaMini, just go to settings -> buttons, and assign button 1, the IE button to OperaMini.

Exactly
... sorry about that ...
yes - ZebProctor is absolutely correct. Opera will be one your remapping choices in the button reassignment.

Opera Mini icon cab

Made this cab to add the Opera icon to your Opera Mini shortcut under programs.
I got sick of looking at the generic Esmertec Jbed icon, and feel this is a more polished solution.
I'm running Open Touch V3 which came with Opera Mini already loaded, so this cab may or not work for your specific rom, but it can be easily uninstalled if it doesnt work for you. YMMV
If it does work on your rom please confirm here, Thanks!

Very Nice. Thank You!

Totally awesome... was thinking about doing the same thing!!!
Now this is definetely an ELEGANT solution! Thanks a lot!!!!!!

You should do the same thing for the GMAIL app
I started looking into the whole icon thing once, but ended up not following thru with it... so awesome you got it working.

Wow, this is just awesome. Thanks alot

Next step... how to associate url files with Opera Mini
the formula...
I tried to register Opera Mini as the default program to open url files. I used the following command line:
"\Storage Card\Program Files\Esmertec Java\jbed.exe" -run s0_ ?\Windows\operal.exe,-0 "%1" which is basically your shortcut with an additional %1 (open file). Of course it didn't work.
Any suggestions?
And again... thanks for the cab. It finally made Opera Mini my default Browser!

thanks - works great on AT&T Tilt!

Copy / Paste
Clipboard / URL history
Multi-browser (Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, NetFront, Skyfire, Internet Explorer)
Make any installed browser system-level, where it opens links from anywhere. Ability to have a default browser (with a special timeout in case you want to open a link with a non-default browser).
Hardware buttons - supports Pocket PCs & SmartPhones for advanced hardware button mapping.
Opera Mini - shortcut on the Start Menu, different paste & URL handling methods to accommodate different phones.

Revisions:
v1.4 *** 2008-07-07
- Created help files.

- Creation of Start Menu shortcuts & opening of JBed applications w/o needing to open JBed first.
- 3 different methods under JZ Settings > JZ Misc. Options for opening Favorites. Save a Favorite from the JZ Browser script when you pop a link.
- Incorporated VitoCopyPaste with a timeout to return your directional pad action button back to normal.
- Various speed & optimization considerations incorporated.
- Function to deal with MortScript losing focus (e.g. when Home is pressed while Mort choice menu is running).

thanx a lot!!

Managing Opera bookmarks

I have been looking around but I just can't seem to find the answer, even looked in the help section in the browser but no luck.
How do you select a bookmark to edit/delete? I can only manage to do this with the top bookmark, If I touch any others they just open and I can't see any option in the menus to move through the bookmarks to select them.
I am guessing the answer is so simple that I just can't see it.

Hi there Root Beer,
If you open any page, and on the menu bar tap the large star to bring up the bookmarks, and if you hold down on the icon to the right of the bookmark u wish to edit/delete it brings up a menu. (The key is to keep your finger on it to bring up the menu)
I hope that this helps.
Marty

Press and hold the bookmark to pop-up a menu.

How to transfer the IE bookmarks to opera ?

Hi, currently I have the Touch HD and the D2. Now I want to transfer the bookmarks from my HD to the D2. In which file are they stored?
Thanks for soon help.

Opera is good only on PC, not PPC.

Go into your windows folder, then the opera folder then copy the 'opera6' file to your memory card.
Then put this card in the td2 and copy the file into your windows>opera folder, (replace existing file)
Bookmark Transfer sorted

Thanks, worked fine!

Missing link

Hi,
I need help ...
I just installed SKTools 3.1.12, and I used "Clean Up" tool ...
The SKTool cleaned up suppose to be junks, temporary, or bad shortcuts ...
But now, my link to Java (Esmeretec Jbed) is missing.
Do you know how to recreate it?
I used to have "Java" icon somewhere in the "Programs" or "Settings", which I can click to start Opera Mini 4.2.
Thanks

when i view the properties of the "Java" link file with resco explorer, the shortcut points to:
"\Windows\jbed.exe"?MPI_ProgramIcons.dll,-121
note that this is on my current ROM (PDA Corner Ultimate X2.V8). also, i can gather that for the above to work, there must be a file called "jbed.exe" in your windows folder and another file called "MPI_ProgramIcons.dll". can't decipher much more than that but perhaps someone else can
on a side note, i'm curious why you are using opera MINI when opera MOBILE is available for windows mobile and it is oh so much better! for one thing, it doesn't need java (i.e. its a native application) and it has a desktop rendering mode which works pretty well! give it a shot!

I tried to create .lnk file using my PC, content:
"\Windows\jbed.exe"?MPI_ProgramIcons.dll,-121
And I placed it in \Windows\Programs\
It does not work.
About Opera Mobile, it is slow ... unfortunately.
And I installed 9.7, but the Turbo mode setting cannot be saved permanently:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4878752&postcount=798

Fixed!
I used Total Commander, copied something.lnk to Java.lnk.
Edit the Shortcut to the above content.
Thanks ASCIIker!

Just a little info:
Get Opera Mobile from the source Opera Mobile website and the Turbo Mode works just not when dowloading you have to change setting refresh page.
Mind you i still use Mini as it's just soooo fast
Re: The bit in shortcut @ end after and inc ? points to a .dll and the no. of the resource so as to use custom start menu icons.

Mediafire solution

ive seem alot of people asking devs to mirror stuff other then MF, they say they cant get into it from their phone.
This is
TRY loading the page as a http socket /desktop View
for example download opera mini i know it supports it, or Dolphin HD users, download desktop view plugin to load all pages as you would normally see em on a computer, not gonna mention chrome beta cuz it aint supported by our phone

but it is supported, all you need to do is install this rom that works very fine to be a nightly and you are good to go 'cause it's based on ICS 4.0.4 there is only two mood killers right now camera an mobile data are still waiting to be enabled, but I'm prepare to make it my daily use rom, I'll just wait 'till the data issue is solve, I even dust off my Cyber-shot to take it with me for as long as we have no camera,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650537

that was the rom i was using, mediafire was not working on mobile for at least 5 hours

Or another thing you could do is to type in the address bar: about:debug (type it exactly as I wrote it here) and then go to settings (you'll see a lot of new options) and then scroll al the way down to UAString. There you will find the following options:
Android
Desktop
iPhone
iPad
Froyo-N1
These may vary depending on the ROM you have, but when I download from mediafire I usually use Desktop or iPad mode. After this all you have to do is refresh.
This will save you the hassle of downloading a new browser and it's plug-ins.
Hope I helped you.

Hi, this is my solution, the way I have been surfing 100% like desktop last months.
Open this post with your phone, and copy this user agent string:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/536.6 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/20.0.1092.0 Safari/536.6
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, you need to open the hidden menu (3845#*970#) and go to Browser Utility.
Do the following steps:
1- Edit UAProfile. Delete all the text and save.
2- Enable/disable X-wap-profile. Touch so its says "ua-profile is 0"
3- Edit UAString. Delete all and paste the string you copied before, and save
4- Enable/Disable Test UAString. Touch to set enabled.
Set all your browser to desktop mode and reboot.
Now all the internet sites will think you're using chrome 20 in windows 7
Opera users:
This wont fix it for you.
You need to type this in the address bar:
about:config
Now go all down to the "User Prefs" settings.
Move down until you see "Custom User-Agent"
Paste here the same string you copied before.
Go to the end of page and touch Save.
Kill opera or reboot, logically you need to first set the opera in desktop mode (in advanced settings).
In this way I have Opera, Dolphin and the stock browser surfing with desktop chrome user agent.
Enjoy!

Yeah, it will slow down in some webs, especially in those with ads, so lots of gifs, banners everywhere...but for that you can use "ADaway" from market and block most of the ads... the best is to configure plugins to load on touch, else if you open few tabs all will load and run any embedded flash showing ads or whatever, really slowing down everything.
I surf pretty fast in most of sites, considering that it is a mobile device

For my mediafire works good again in the stock browser
