Thank you,
please,
where is the Favourites folder for Opera.....Opera does not apear to be picking up my normal Mobile favourites but iexplore and netfront do.
There isn't a folder and it won't pick up your IE bookmarks.
You need to edit opera6.adr using notepad to add/backup your favourites.
Not entirely true, from what I saw today, The latest Beta version includes ie folders in the booksmarks page. Or am I wrong ?
Any confirmation on this?
Its annoying using Opera as default browser but not easily transferring favourites around

Er, yes it does
You should see a folder within the Opera Favorites called IE Favorites, doing exactly this !
I dont see IE Favouritse within Opera favourites
It's there on mine

anybody know?
No idea mate, I use opera on desktop too, so I'd love to know this. The mobile favourites option on WMDC and Activesync only adds a folder to Internet Explorer not Opera

It would be stupid if I need to write a small software to convert the bookmark of OPERA to PIE's Favorites just to get it sync with the desktop

I was about to suggest wroting your own software.
I prefer not syncing favourites anyway, because if I did my phone would have far too many...
Opera6.adr file containing bookmarks is compatible with the PC version - same structure.
So you can just simply copy this file from your PC-Opera to WM-Opera and vice versa.
dont you just copy the opera6.adr file from your pc to \windows\opera9?
I searched earlier, and found opera link. Kinda a server-side sync app, where with the new beta, on desktop, 9.5, you can sync, its called opera link. Do'nt know how it sync's to mobile though
Rory
Although, opera mobile 9.5 can sync with OPERA desktop 9.5, but I don't use OPERA desktop. So I don't benefit from it.
Yes, we can manually copy the bookmark file from the phone to the PC but that lost the meaning of syncing, right? We need something more automatically.
I havent tried this with Opera Mobile, but it worked with Opera Mini. I used Opera Link (as mentioned above) to sync bookmarks. Yes, if you use Opera Desktop, then it would help sync. But you don't need to use Opera Desktop to use Opera Link. You can sign into my.opera.com, and set up your book marks there, then use Opera Link to download them to your phone. Much easier than typing them on the phone directly...
I am using EasySync, it solved my need of auto backup the bookmark to the desktop.
hi,
I want to copy my IE favorites on the opera 9.5 favorites on my diamond because it doesn't synchronize automatically the favorites on opera ????
Thanks for your answers.
Regards.
opera mobile use the same bookmarks format as opera browser on pc
so if you use it there you can use the free ms program called synctoy to
sync opera with opera mobile
otherwise i guess it's required that iexplore or pie can export to opera's xml format
or that opera mobile can import from pie or ie's format
the favorites are stored in the file opera6.adr (in the windows\opera9 map). you can replace that file with your own.
When I synchronize my diamond FR, the favorites IE is synchronise but not with opera ?
Can I find a solution for that : is it normal ?
Unfortunately it's normal. The only way I've found to do it with opera mini is download opera on pc and sync across - can't get it to work on mobile 9.5.
So I opened that file mentioned above in text editor and pasted them all in there in the obvious format.
Doing this you can also dictate the position you want them to be in on the browser front screen in TF3D but not in the browser bookmarks folder as they always show in alphabetical order in there.
Does anybody here know where the android browser bookmarks are stored on the file system? I'm hoping to keep a backup of my bookmarks so I don't need to go thru the hassle of entering all my favorite sites each time I have to wipe my phone!
thanks in advance
They're stored in a database in the browser's data directory. Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3223060&postcount=199 -- it gives you the command to use to retrieve them from the database, i.e.
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.browser/databases/browser.db "SELECT * FROM bookmarks;"
You can also use the My Backup app (available from the Market) to back them up.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm not really familiar with sqlite, more of a mysql guy personally
The bookmarks table holds the browser history as well.
Bookmarks backup
You should check out MyBackup on the Market. It's a free app that will backup your bookmarks (plus a lot of other things) to your SD card. It works quite well. The restore feature is also very simple.
There is also my bookmarks as well that allows you to import your bookmarks to your phone from your desktop browser.

What I'd like to see (and I can't believe wasn't included in the OS) is automatic syncing of your Android bookmarks with Google Bookmarks. (or ones labeled as mobile in Google Bookmarks)
I had this frustration as well (not being able to sync or backup my bookmarks) so I finally just found a simple website where I could save all of my bookmarks, then I set it as the browser home page. There are tons of websites out there that allow you to store your bookmarks, but the one that I chose was murl.com.
Since I use Firefox I use foxmarks. Which is one of the best programs I have ever used. It sycs all of your bookmarks through firefox on as many computers as you want. They have a mobile site you can bookmark in your browser or steel bookmarks and access all of them. Not perfect but better then nothing.
I use Foxmarks too, and I love it! Every time I use a different computer, I just sync my bookmarks, and everything stays the same on each machine!
Now when I use my phone, I can also just go to Foxmarks and click on any bookmark there to go to a website.
No FireFox here. (Work doesn't allow it for some reason.)
I use the Google Toolbar on both my desktop and notebook pcs at home and at the office to keep track of my bookmarks. I'm still surprised that it doesn't doesn't sync with android though. Seems like about the only Google thing that doesn't at this point.
I just wish someone would write a utility that automatically alphabetized the bookmarks, why this isn't an option by default is annoying. I'm thinking about making it my first Android project.

I don't think it would be hard to sort the list and dump out all the history entries as well. You can do this all with some SQL commands.
Is there anyway to create a shortcut to list all the Bookmarks? I am using Dwang 1.12 Rom.
I have been searching and can not find anything on how to do it. I love the ability to push an icon, it will list all the bookmarks like the bookmark widget in the Hero Rom.
Thanks
i use the live bookmarks app from the market it lets you make an icon that opens a folder with all your bookmarks. Also bookmarkBR from the market backs up and restores bookmarks.

Thanks for the info.
I used this to bookmark a url that was a google maps redirect. I used the adb shell to get on my rooted EVO and ran these commands:
Code:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.browser/databases/browser.db
update bookmarks set bookmark = 1 where url = ''http://goo.gl/maps/XXXX';
This url was already in my bookmarks because I had visited it. but I couldn't bookmark it because I was immediately redirected to google maps.
To list all of your urls:
Code:
select url from bookmarks;
Has any one know that where i can find the bookmarks of opera saved in Diamond 2.
Since I need to reput my bookmarks again after each hard reset.
The star in opera are the bookmarks.
In TFlo in the internettab there is also a option bookmarks
I mean they saved on which folder, thus I can backup that folder for later I hard reset my device.
\Windows\Opera9\opera6.adr
THANKS.........
I suggest creating a google account, and making an igoogle page containing a bookmark widget. Store all your favourites in it and make it your homepage. Your bookmarks will then be available in every device / PC you use, no matter what browser you're using. Works a treat! No need to synchronize!
good idea, thanks a lot.
I have an HTC Touchpro 2 with windows mobile. The touchflo bar at the botton of the HTC Sense homepage is nice with one exception...the inability to change default programs.
Let's start with the webbrowser for example. I do NOT like Opera. As a matter of fact I use Skyfire. Currently it's sitting in the PROGRAMS tab and then I have to choose the browser from there. I would like to set it up so that I can just go to the internet tab and hit the planet/web icon and it will launch skyfire instead of opera. Is this doable?
Then there are the bookmarks on the internet tab. I don't want this to be a political thread, so don't make it one. It comes programmed with CNN and ESPN on there. Well one, I do not like CNN and I'd much rather put FOX on there. Second, I don't much care for sports so I'd like to remove ESPN altogether. It would be nice if I could add my own bookmarks.
What about the other programs? Can I change the default calender? What about the text program? The text program is ok but when I am sending a message to 10 people, I dont like having to type in each number or go select each name one at a time. I'd like a text/multimedia program that will let me select multiple recipients.
I know this is a lot to ask but once you point me in the right direction, I'll get it. Thanks in advance for the help.
~Mike
I am eager to know the answer?
hello
you have to go to opera settings and uncheck the default program. then you have to open skyfire and check default browser and that's it. for the bookmarks you can remove them from the list. you have to open the bookmarks and go to menu and go to remove then you check the bookmarks that you want to remove.
