Opera browser

is there a difference between opera mobile and opera mini browser? is it worth the extra money to buy opera mobile instead of using the free opera mini?

Opera mini is a java app, though it is pretty good, I would say even better than opera mobile. But, it might have problem running on some devices depending on which java client the device uses.

would opera mini be just as good as opera mobile on my kaiser?

i recommend opera mobile since it installs as a program which can also be set as your default browser. Opera mini is a java app which is not added as a default browser and you have to load the java app to get to it.

if i was to buy the current opera mobile version, and opera 9 comes out, would i have to buy opera 9 as well, or would opera allow me to upgrade for free?

Opera 8.65 has been "finally" released few days ago.
However, it has few problems with license/registration if you check their website.
As for Opera 9, I am not sure if it will be released this year (or ever be released!).
Opera Mobile 9 = Duke Nukem Forever

I use Opera Mini 4 beta 2 and I must say: best browser ever. Sure, it's a bit anoying that you have to launch the Java app first, but you quickly forget about it when you work with the browser. Perfect experience I must say.

Maarten,
Which midlet manager do you use? JBed?
Can you download files using Opera Mini? I often download .3GP files from the internet
How is the performance when browsing a large site? I found PIE sucks in this area, often stuck and I have to soft-reset.

Much better than PIE.
I alo recommend that you ALL follow the General forum ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=256 ) in here as I've answered all the questions asked in this thread there in my Opera Mini 4 beta 2 review ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326368&highlight=Opera+Mini ) and WM Web Browser Bible ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301009 ).

Last time I used Opera mini I couldn't make a backup of or restore my bookmarks. That's really annoying, when you want to restore a backup or install a new ROM. The pro is that is reduces the internet traffic. Opera mobile is much better when internet traffic is not important.

If I have Pixelbrowser - would adding Opera Mini be redundant ?
Would you just add Opera Mobile for better default support ?

I just installed Opera Mini, and ... it works fine! fast! and nice!
I also created a shortcut and hack the security warning according to this info:
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-...ed-includes-info-new-java-midlet-manager.html
Then I changed the "IE button" to load Opera Mini
I like it so much
But there are several things I dont like:
1. When I download .3GP from a link, it will be picked up by Internet Explorer Why cant Opera handle that? I mean asking to download and save ...
2. The browsing History is displayed in the Startup Screen! Can this be disabled?
Anyone know how to fix them?

What is the difference between mobile and mini (feature wise)?

How!!!???? Please tell!!! I have it loading my midlet manager - but I don't know how to do this.

FYI To do it create a shortcut in notepad on your PC and copy it over to your Start Menu with :
28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_
where s*_ is the number in the menu where opera is... brilliant!

Disable opera as default browser

Is there a possible way to disable opera as the default browser and use iexplore again?

I don't know the answer, haven't got my diamond yet - but can I ask why you want to use iexplore over opera and all its new features? Just asking if its not as good as its hyped to be.

we used to have different applications build for IE and by clicking a URL the Diamond will open Opera.

I would be interested to disable Opera as default browser too. Anybody found a way to set PIE as default browser. It's not that I dislike Opera, but one of my most frequently used sites http://mobile.alex.nl opens really small in it. Every time I open it I have to zoom in to make it readable.
Of course if anyone knows a solution to this problem, I'm also interested.

Did you guys tried to search?
Look what I found:

it seems, the new version of sktools is able to set iexplore as default browser.

Actually I did, but apparently with the wrong terms! Thanks!

Yes, but this will not change the browser that is opened from the browser tab in TF3D. Despite the default browser set, in TF3D when click on "Browser", still the Opera is opening

Opera Opal Manilla 2D Question

Friends,
Just installed Opera Opal Manilla 2D from the previous version. I was wondering where do the bookmarks get placed? I checked in the \windows manila folder and didn't see the links. What file are these added too?
I like to back them up for future reference.
Please advise and Thank You,
Tvos

anyone?
tvos

depends on your version of opera. the file is opera6.adr, it'll either be in app data or windows\opera. it's the same file that real opera uses, do you can even copy and paste from your desktop.

thanx sir..
i build my ppc with settings, configs, apps and then create a spb backup for future restores.. normally, not a big deal but been doing a lot of testing out different roms, apps, builds and like to know what the source of this file is.
i found it and backed it up!
also, i use mymobile for copy/paste...

How to Uninstall Opera On Htc Diamond??

Hey guys my Device Storage memory is 88 mb and out of that free is just 15 mb.
I installed only
1) Slide to anwer dialer
2) S2U2
3) .Net Framework
on my device memory rest is all on internal storage.
I have come to know that opera uses around 8-10 mb of storage space. So i want to uninstall it.
But its not there in add and remove programs.
please let me know how to remove Opera.
Also let me know if any other software to be removed to free up the space. Like voice commander (this is also not there in add and remove programs)
Regards,
Vishal

Remove Opera?
If it doesn't show up in 'Remove Programs', it's installed in the ROM which means you can't remove it. The best thing to do if you want loads of storage is to install a 'lite' ROM. That way you can install only the apps you use

i have the original rom from the htc page! give it no solution to deinstall the opera browser, if is no opera browser entry in the program list to shown?
in the windows folder on the integrated storage not found an opera folder, also.
plz help me..
sorry for my bad english.. i hope every guys understand my problem..

you can't remove opera
opera is put in the core os which is placed in a
place where users can't access the storage
so even if one makes a rom without opera
it don't free up storage for users access
it's impossible to remove opera unless you cook your own rom from scratch
if you don't like opera don't use it
and
set the browser you like as std browser
then opera will not bother you as even if you could delete it
it would not give you more storage mem

hi folks
my current issue is slightly different
i've installed opera mini 5 which is great for my needs, however i have various RSS feeds going and if i click on links they will open in opera 4, not 5.
how do i therefore set opera mini 5 to be the default browser?
plus if anyone knows how to get rid of the annoying opera 5 prompt which asks me if i'm happy about the fact that i may be charged for accessing the web, then i'd be very pleased to know it.
thanks in advance from scrumpypaul

Well I only saw that once since I installed the version with all certificates... Try installing the all certificates version and you'll get rid of all the promts

which version did you install?
i downloaded directly to my diamond and saw nothing about certificates.

opera 9.6 as default browser

i think i may have a stupid question but ive really looked everywhere for the solution and cant find anything!
the problem is:
on my topaz (original rom etc) i installed opera mobile 9.7b just to try it out, didn't work wit the zoombar and G-sensor so i just unstalled it. but now when i open a link in e.g. an e-mail i get IE instead of opera 9.6 (the original delivered with the topaz).
i've looked every little file on my phone but i can't find where i can put the old opera back to default! anybody here maybe can help..
or... is it possible to integrate opera 9.7beta into the topaz, so i can use the zoombar and the tilt function when i'm browsing, and acces true the internet button on my touchflo 3d?
I like the new opera but it isn't really working for 100% integrated on my phone so the old one is better to use for me
