Uninstalling Opera 9.5 beta

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?
BR
Asaf

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

Removing YouTube link from Internet TF3D tab

Ok - I admit it - I am indeed seemingly the only person in the world who doesn't regularly view YouTube!
Therefore I'd like to remove it from my Favourites list on the Internet tab of TF3D.. although from what I can see this one is hardcoded (and not an Opera Favourite, indeed this link actually opens up the YouTube client and no Opera).
However.. while on the subject.. has anyone figured out how to control the ordering that these Favourites are displayed on the TF3D tab? From what I can make out, while within Opera they are alphabetic, in TF3D they are listed in the order they were created.
All ideas/suggestions welcomed! Thanks.

youtube...
No, you're not the only person. I don't watch youtube too. I'd like to remove it complete from the device. Any chance?

Well.. I've removed the whole internet tab from TF3D altogether (using TF3D config).
It's nothing but a globe and some links.. which I can also get from the programs tab. Ya might wanna try removing this whole tab and adding the opera link into your programs tab instead

I do not use it 2

I also had a problem with the internet tab. In my case (MDA compact IV) the opera favorites weren't displayed on the tab.
I've been searching the diamond and found some xml files in the following directory:
\Application Data\manila
There are several xml-files, choose the one for your own language-country combination. This file determines the contents of the internet tab.
1) Make a backup of the xml-file
2) Clear the read-only and the system flags of the xml-file.
3) Make the necessary changes.
4) Save and you are ready.
To remove the you-tube link, You'll have to delete the <link .... > entry from the <OperatorLinks> section.
P.S.
While you're there, you can also remove the <banner > field to get rid of the logo, and remove/change/add OperatorLinks ( e.g. the Search link), and detrmine wether you want to display the opera favorites.

By Christ. Removing the internet tab just to get rid of a bookmark is a bit bloody over the top!
Just delete the bookmarks you don't want from opera and they disappear.
How hard do you really need to make it??
Sheesh!!!
I realise that t-mobile and the other networks may have screwed with the touchflo to bugger it up, but if you have an HTC branded one then just edit the opera bookmarks!!

@Mods: perhaps someone could merge all these threads as they are all about the same topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408035
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408641
The solution posted above and in the other threads seems only to work for the MDA compact IV but not for the Diamond. Does anybody know how to change the internet tab on the Diamond?

Many thanks to all - I'd given up hope after my first ask
It's nice to be able to add icons for the operator links (only 62x62 tho')

Did anybody notice that this doesn't work anymore with the new 1.93 HTC Rom?
Any new trick to remove the youtube link?

Hey retard, why don't you shut up and go back to kindergarten! He can't DO THAT. It is NOT an Opera bookmark and you can't just delete it. If it was he would have done that - don't assume everybody is as stupid as you.

It's not working here. I removed the also the whole OperatorLinks section and you tube still there. I've tried to remove the read only flag and the system flag of the file. Try to softreset and deactivating touchflo3d before changing the file. Nothing works for me. Also i've searching the whole windows directory for other occurencies of the text 'you tube' and found nothing related. Additionaly I tried to changed the text 'you tube' in the OperatorLinks section, but the text didn't changed in the touchflo3d after restarting.
I'm using 1.93.

I, too, am interest in this! I'm sure there has to be a registry entry to remove it. Oh registry wizards?! Where art thou???

This variant worked on Touch diamond 1.93.
I thought I was the only one that didn't see youtube as the meaning of life and the Internet. It appears that we are at least a handful.
I did something VERY similar to the above and it worked (first shot) on a TD with 1.93.
But since the above didn't work for all, I better describe EXACTLY what I did:
1) By activesync copied the XML-file to PC
2) Removed RO-fileattribute
3) Opened it with notepad
4) Renamed the <Banner to <BBanner
5) Renamed (both halfs) of <OperatorLinks> to <OOperatorLinks>
6) Saved the file
7) Copied it back to another dir on th TD
8) Removed RO on original
9) Used TotalCommander to copy my changed file over the running.
10) Pressed the red reset-button
And look and behold. After boot It worked. The globe also went.
I noticed that the .qtc files mentioned in the .xml doesn't exist at the location given. e.g.
DefaultImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner.qtc"​Nor anywhere else?
Actually the whole structure
"\Windows\HTC\​doesn't exist!
Nor is there anywhere a directory or registry entry "InterNetPortal" nor "Assets"!! So this is all very strange...
But the interesting thing is that the widget now only shows my favorites.
Hope it works for others as well.
I must emphasize that I didn't try the original method, so that might also have done the trick.
After change, the file looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<InternetPortal>
<IncludeUserFavorites>True</IncludeUserFavorites>
<BBanner
DefaultImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner.qtc"
SelectedImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner_selected.qtc"
Text="Start webbrowser"
Width="480"
Height="215" />​ <OOperatorLinks>
<Link
Text="YouTube"
Executable="\windows\youtube.exe"
ImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\youtube.qtc"​ />​ </OOperatorLinks>​</InternetPortal>​
----
After some more testing, I found out that the very odd values for "DefaultImagePath" and "SelectedImagePath" are MAGIC words! They could be replaced with 'any' picture-file. If the path or filename is invalid/nonexistent the picture is omitted. If these two magic values are used the standard globe will be used. The picture is scalable by height/width

Order of Opera favorites on widget, opera6.adr format
The favorites are shown on the widget in the order they appear in opera6.adr.
Opera6.adr is a rather plain text-file. But please note that by default the unix-style <LF>-only is used as line separator.
So if possible avoid editing with windows notepad, or change the <LF>'s
In vista-notepad <LF>'s are treated as zero-width blanks(!!), so it's VERY easy to get confused and mess things up. I wasted a lot of time, thinking it was a proprietary format, before I discovered the <LF>'s...

The second dummy-link
About:blank​is useful when the globe is removed from the widget, just to open the browser. I recommend it as link number FIVE, to get it as the lowest of the five shown on the widget without swiping.

How did you edit it finally?
Vista WordPad?
EDIT:
I stopped touchflo, removed read only and system checkmarks on the file. Copied it over to the PC. Used Vista wordpad to open it. Edited it and when finished clicked save. Copied the new file over to the phone, replacing the one there. Started up touchflo and it worked!

Well when I discovered the LF's it was easy. Just replaced LF with CRLF, this can be done in many editors.

How'd you manage to add icons for the operator links and are they limited to 62x62 simply due to the available space? Can icons be added for the favorites too?

"thank you for pasting the original xml file" helped me in restoring the default globe and removing telstra wap links especially the bigpond image!

[?] - Master list of configuration files for backup [Lumos, Gyrator 2, etc...]

Hey all,
I've run a couple searches and can't seem to find the answer to this question:
Is there a master list of the file names of configuration files for applications like Lumos, Gyrator 2, and others?
The reason I'm asking is that, after a ton of Rom flashes, I'm finding that it takes forever to get each of these aps reconfigured. It would be great to back up XML files, .ini's, or something along those lines for them to my storage card and then copy them back over after a flash.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Same question here....!
Would be great to have an answer.

Try the Sashimi application to save files and registry settings and restore them manually or automatically. It may have a steep learning curve, but once you've put in the effort, it saves you much more time in the long run. Have a look at the contents of my Sashimi filebackup.ini and regexport.ini to get an idea. Good luck!

Definitely Sashimi. Find it here http://www.winmo-experts.com/. There are video tutorials on how to use which I'd recommend watching, then dive in.
UC is pretty good too, will do all the same stuff and most ROMs support it. However, I've been far more successful going beyond simple cab installs with Sashimi. And, it works with all ROMs.
Weather sites, and program tab button assignments are stored in the registry. Also, under the Application Data there is good stuff stored such as media databases and stock tab.
One of the tricks for determining reg settings is to export your registry before and after you make a change, then using Windiff to compare them. Windiff is free and can be found here http://www.grigsoft.com/download-windiff.htm. It takes a while to get all of your reg edits figured out, but it is worth the time once you do.
Hope it helps.

Possible to change cooked MS Office Mobile??

I have tried many roms, and have found my favourite to be: Williyung's ROM 826X Windows Mobile 6.5.5 build 23519.
I prefer it due to long battery life, and the finger friendly menu's of 6.5.5.
The only issue that I have with this rom is that it is using MS Office 10, which is good, however the excel regularly corrupts files of mine after using them.
What I basically mean is that I will use a file, save it, and go back to use it, and its saved at 0b, which no data what-so-ever.
This is frustrating to me, and I would like to try the older version of Office Mobile to see if it fixes the problem.
Is there any way for me to replace the cooked version on this rom?

shouldn't be a problem: the later installed one will get a separate installation folder under Start (I expect the current installation is located elsewhere)
you can, if you want, remove the cooked-in office, check via properties of \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Office Mobile\*.lnk for location of executable files and delete them (if you want to save space)
or keep the files and simply adapt the above shortcuts to the new files/file location)
cheers

Thanks for the reply Draken.
Where would I be able to find a copy of the original office mobile? I have searched around and cant find a cab?

the cooked-in one? no idea what is the exact version he used, therefore hard to tell
but: if you don't delete it and only modify the shortcuts you can preserve it, shouldn't take up much space
if you want it removed: marketplace, search ([url=http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JNN2IRFM]beta, alternative[/URL]) or even pm williyung for his cab

Sense Bookmark Icons

Hi there,
i searched the forum for a while now for a problem that every now and then pops up for me after reflashing. I'm searching for an automatic way to assign my own thumbnail graphics on the sense internet tab.
I use the manual way sometimes after flashing, but it is not satisfying me, because it takes lot of time to copy the files, rename my original files to the newly created ones and copy them back. So most of the time i don't use the icons...
Yes, i know that the pics have to be 512x512px PNG Files, and i also know that they are stored under Windows\Thumbnails .
I'm searching for where the information for the lookup of these pics (for example {2B1EE4E4-651F-D4DC-708B-DB1319CA381E}.png) is stored. I neither found it in the registry, nor in the filesystem as plain text. I copied the whole file system to my pc and did a in-file-search.
For me there are now to last possibilities where to find them:
Theyre stored as hex values in registry or in filesystem, so that a normal textsearch is useless or
theyre stored in a database file.
If someone has an idea which file it is or if theres another possibility i would be glad to hear it. It makes me crazy that we can change EVERYTHING on our wm-devices since years, but something like the bookmark icons (whch is significant for me) is so hard to find
best regards, Puckmeister

Are you looking for "Custom icons" or just a snapshot of the webpage? I know that if you save the favorite in opera 9/10 and open the favorite from inside opera (from the favorites menu) you will then see the screenshot of said favorite in sense.
