I've read the thread about how to update to the new version of Opera, my problem however is that I can not copy the new files into the WINDOWS directory, it says the program is being used or write-protected. I have checked the task manager already but is there somewhere special you have to go to and turn any running background programs off??
thanks

The problem
You have a Java application that makes use of the internet, eg Opera Mini or Google Local Maps, and you are finding that whenever it wants access the net you get prompted with a Yes/No dialog to either allow or disallow it to go through. With Opera Mini, this would occur everytime you clicked on a link to goto another page and in Google Local Maps it would happen everytime you pressed a button to scroll the map. Obviously this gets very frustrating as it slows down your use of the application.
This method of permitting net access each time it is required is known as "Oneshot".
The solution
The other method is "Session" where users are only prompted once per run of the application. However, some ROMs don't have this option under the security settings in the Midlet Manager despite being a newer version.
After much experimentation by a number of users, including myself, we have managed to determine that the rofs_target.zip file found in \Application Data\Tao\intent can be overwritten with one from a ROM where the "Session" option was available and it will give you this option in the ROM you are currently using.
1) Copy the attached cab file to anywhere on your device.
2) Make sure that you are not currently running any Java apps and that Midlet Manager has been closed down.
3) Execute the cab file and wait for it to finish.
4) Start up Midlet Manager and tap and hold on any app icon and then choose Security. Under Net Access you should now see the option of "Session".
Notes
This has only been tested on Wizard ROMs where Tao-Group's intent Midlet Manager is included. Whether it works on other devices that also have the same Midlet Manager has not been determined but other users are certainly welcome to try. The only thing the cab file does is overwrite (or create if it doesn't exist) \Application Data\Tao\intent\rofs_target.zip. It does not touch the registry or any other system related files or folders. As such it shouldn't break anything major if it doesn't work. All you would have to do is delete that zip file.
Having only been a recent "discovery", this method of getting the Session option back isn't refined as of yet. Collectively, we went through at least 3 other ways of doing it first, involving more files and doing it manually, before we arrived at the current cab installation. We may delve deeper into the folder structure found in the rofs_target.zip file to find out which file contains the appropriate setting so that we can make the solution even more compact. As such, this will be an ongoing thread and this post will be updated to include any developments.

A little more information on the options this CAB adds. On a clean install you will get the following options in the Tao Java MIDlet Manager:
Net Access: No, Oneshot, Session (Session is default)
Local Connectivity: No, Oneshot, Session, Blanket (Session is default)
App Auto Run: No, Oneshot, Session (Session is default)
Messaging: No, Oneshot, Session (Oneshot is default)
Multimedia Recording: No, Oneshot (Oneshot is default)
Now, if you already have MIDlets installed you may have to remove them and reinstall to get the new options to show up. Also, you will want to make sure that the MIDlet Manager is NOT running when you install the CAB. Best advice is to do a soft reset and then install the patch immediately on boot. If you're customizing your Extended ROM, then slap it in there.
NOTE: This patch only fixes the security settings issue with the MIDlet Manager. It does not add JPEG support.
Seems to work well enough on the Hermes.
Thanks
Hi newbe from the UK here...
I have a MDA Pro with T-Mobile with the same problem, tried the fix above, copied & installed successfully... but still as before: only "Oneshot" and "No" options!!!
This is driving me insane!
Any help appreciated!
Yey! It works now!!
Just had to uninstall and reinstall the MIDlets and voila!
Reread gamescan's message
Thanks very much to all
Excellent; it works perfectly on my T-Mobile MDA Vario II with Opera Mini.
Hermes with T-mobile UK WM6 update
I was using the cab on my device (T-mobile Vario II) when it was running WM5. Having applied the recent t-mobile WM6 update, I found that the cab refused to install (citing that it was not meant for my device).
Bad times.
However, managed to force it back onto my device by opening the cab in post #2 (java_session_fix_-_june_15_2006.cab) in winzip and extract the file 00cab172.001 from it. I renamed the extracted file as rofs_target.zip and manually placed it in the location in post #1 on the device (\Application Data\Tao\Iintent) - I kept the original one backed up just in case - it was substantially larger than the replacement so you never know.
And now, once again, I can tag applets as having session based net access again!
Good times!
T-Mobile MDA pro now works with sessions
Hi
I spent ages looking for a solution this is great, I use my MDA for Betfair and could not use Betfair mobile as it kept asking for permission every page update, now it just keeps refreshing prices every 5 seconds.
A huge thankyou...

I like to install trials to check out new stuff and such, but since my phone hasnt got unlimited space I need to remove them as well.
Now the problem is that when I go to settings > system > remove programs
it only lists the first 11 programs that I've installed myself.
Is there a tweak or a registry setting that can be used to keep that program list updated and show every program installed.
If not, how can I uninstall a program completely ?
there should be shown every programm you installed, if you installed it with a cab or over active-sync
on my phone there are over 20 programms without any problem.
perhaps you just copied the software?!
otherwise check active-sync extras->software there should also been listed the installed software with a cross in front, if it is installed on your pda or just on you pc
I installed everything (all cab files) through active sync.
My rom is still the original one too, but only the first 11 programs are listed on my device.

Hello all,
I have opera 9.5 build 1522 (Dutch) on my Diamond but it has
problems with some websites .
Can anyone point me in the right direction how to update
it to the most recent version? I don't mind if it is in English
instead of Dutch.
Are there any special things to consider?
you need
First : completely stop Opera processes. Even If it's not running from the task bar, processes might be running. If so it won't allow file copy
Ti achieve this I use task manager.
Then get the update for Opera on the XDA site.
Most of the time you have a zip file with 3 files
Copy those 3 in you touch "windows" directory
The thing is done !
Sorry, which xda site do you mean exactly?

Hi !
I've just installed Remix OS Player but it's not exactly what i need.
I would like to uninstall but i don't know how to do.
I cant' do it from setup and i havent't found the file "UninstallRemixPlayer.exe"
Could you help me please ?
Thanks
where did u put the file? its not installed into ur windows. just delete the file and zip file
I am having the same issue. There is no UninstallRemixOS.exe to allow me to uninstall in the recommended way.
I have tried to delete the RemixOSPlayer folder but receive the error "This action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program".
I have ended the only RemixOS relate process I can see in Task Manager and have restarted my PC but the issue remains.
I currently need the 10GB of space on my SSD, so this is quite frustrating. Please help

did u manually install HAXM ? uninstall HAXM if its what is holding onto the file.
is adb.exe in your task manager? if so, close it out and try to delete the folder then
@sonicdeathmunky @alibaba33 You probably need to close adb.exe process before deleting Player.

Thank you! I stopped the ADB.exe process and was right away able to delete the folder <3
I installed the Remix OS Player on a separate partition but now I want to uninstall it and same with fellow members here, I can't find the "UninstallRemixOS.exe". As I noticed that after I installed the Remix OS Player, it created another folder on my C:\Windows.old which takes up a same storage as C:\Windows which is roughly 16GB. How do I uninstall this and remove the C:\Windows.old safely. The last time I tried to delete the C:\Windows.old it gave me denied access on many files and eventually crashed my notebook till I have to reformat it.
search for RemixOS in File Explorer and delete the file
I can delete the Remix OS Player as I installed on separate partition but I can't delete the C:\Windows.old. My problem is with the C:\Windows.old that Remix OS Player created when I install it.
@yltan
There is no way that Remix Player made a Windows.old folder on your device. This folder is made by Windows whenever you perform a bigger update of the system.
You can run system data cleanup (search it in control panel or in start menu) and most of it will be deleted safely.

Did your Windows 10 do its anniversary thing and update on you?
and u didn't install the player, it doesn't install, it runs on your pc but doesn't register into the system.
My mistake. Problem solved but thanks to all...
Deleting the folder with remix os player is not the solution.
After deleting the folder, I reinstalled remix os player and noticed that all the settings that I made to it about the theme, location and so on, were still there
so it still leaves behind some crap in the registry or somewhere else.
How can I completely remove this crap?
just delete ur folder,restart ur pc and open the application there will be question "do u want delete this application?" u've just click "yes"
