I have this problem with Opera Mobile 9.5 where I try to download a cab file to install on my phone but it instead opens the cab file as text. There isn't a "Save file as" option in the menus so how can I download the cab file without opening it as text?
Type in opera:config and check through the settings, or you could reinstall.
Guys I am having this problem also and need to fix it.
The thing is when I type :config in Opera and try to log into settings nothing happens. Please how can I remove that **** Opera off my phone?????????
Need to install all the cabs that I need...
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
I have never had any problem downloading anything with Opera... Actually, I tend to try and use Opera to download with because it's download manager works so well.
It sounds like you have a setting off somewhere in your phone... probably with Opera, assuming you can download with IE just fine.
Also, you want to type in the address bar "opera:config" without the quotation marks, and that is where you will find the advanced settings that control downloads with Opera.
As well, maybe try downloading a different version of Opera? I like this one:

That is not what I mean.
I downloaded files throught my PC, hooked Omnia to it and copied the files to the phone's SDcard.
The cab files of all progs are "branded" Opera. meaning if you want to run them, they open through Opera and not execute style. Got it?

Ah, ok... I don't think that is the same problem they were having... I don't know what the solution to that would be, since a .cab file is an .exe file written to run a PPC, thus when you click on it, it should run itself without any other program opening it...
I would say try downloading the cab files directly on to your phone with the built in browser, save them to your memory card of course...
But if you are copying a .cab file on to your phone, and using file explorer to launch it, there is no reason it shouldn't work, it is a self executing file that doesn't look for a mother program to run it... Unless somehow you have managed to change them so that they try and open with Opera, either through your phone settings or properties of the cab itself type thing.
I think I have no choice but to disable or uninstall Opera in some way.
If someone can help me to do this, I think I can manage with the cab files then...
I don't think that will fix your problem. Those files will still be linked to Opera. And if Opera is part of your ROM, you can't uninstall it... actually even if you loaded it yourself, unless you did one of the uninstallable versions, it can't be uninstalled...
At this point, it would help if you gave more information:
What, if any mods, you have done to your phone?
What program did you use to copy the files to the SD card?
Where did you get the cab files?
Heck, what cab files are they?
These mods:
http://www.samsung-omnia.org/how-to/howwhatwherewhichwhywhen/
And the cab files are related to advanced configuration tools, Omnia patched dialler, SPB mobile shell and a couple others.
You might want to ask that forum for assitance? It looks like they are pretty dedicated to the Omnia, which most everyone here does not have one. This forum is for the HTC Kaiser specifically, and the site as a whole is dedicated to HTC devices. Perhaps post in the general section of this site, but I think you will have better luck with the omnia site you got all of your cabs from.
In general, without having screen shots, or hands on knowledge of the cab files you are trying to use, about all I can say(and anybody really) in this forum is that there is something corrupt with the .cab files or your file explorer is corrupted. I would bet the .cab files are corrupted, and that somewhere along the way you did something wrong. Maybe you skipped a step in the whole process, and Opera is coming up not because they are tagged to run through Opera, but because it is suggesting to search for something using your default browser.
It really is hard to say, but I would suggest asking that forum for some support. Also, I would flat out re-download all the cabs straight to your phone from the site, not your computer. This will make sure you don't have any issues with the sync process. As well, save them to the root of you SD card, in other words not in a folder.
Sometime i got this problem but it seem it happen when the page is not fully loaded
Do you open cab files through Opera?
Open link in new tab
Hi
I have also had this problem with opera version 9.5.16277. I have found a couple of work arounds:
1) Tap and hold on the link and then select "Open in new tab"
2) Tap and hold on the link and select "Copy link location". Then manually open a new tab and paste the address into the address bar.
I have found that if 1) above does not work 2) will.
Cheers

Sometimes it's the website itself.
For example, for Josh's Test ROM, if we click directly (even on PC) on the link, it'll open the zip file on the page. I had to 'right-click' and 'save the link as' to save the file.
It might be some code on the page ..
Input the two .reg files to the registry, should just solve the problem. You can use any regiedit tools or taskmgr.exe or total command to do it. If don't know how, please search some info first.

The above is my answer to origional poster of this thread.
But since this thread is already goes to off-topic, I would also write my comments:
Opera opens compressed file as text on page, is a big bug for opera software, it happens to both its mobile and desktop vdersions. But latest releases of Opera Mobile seems have some progress on this issue, although still can not completely avoid it.

I have tried using several registry apps to successfully export [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Launcher] belonging to a previous Hutch 3 ROM.
I now want to re import these keys into my newly installed Duttys 6.1.
How do I do this?
Scuse the newb question (duck for cover) but on a PC you tap the *.reg and it will import into the registry. On my Kaiser running Duttys 6.1 I have PHM_Regedit but Import option is greyed out.
A search did not resolve it so any help would be appreciated.

Install FdcSoft's Taskmanager (it has a built in Regedit), by DotFred. In there you can associate .reg files with it. Then just run them to import.
Great I'll grab it. Thanks Dave I really appreciate the help. I know you all get sick to death of our newb questions.

Dont worry. I spent 10 minutes trying to use PHM before I gave up.
Dot Fred's TaskManager is a kick ass task manager as well as a reg editor (amongst other stuff).
P.S. Easiest way to associate is: Open TaskMgr, tools, options, Create RegEit Shortcut. This will ask do you want to associate.
Cool I can see how to do all that now thanx.
Only hiccup is I can only run it from my Storage card. I cannot work out how to copy it to my \Windows folder. I cannot work out how to delete the existing basic taskmgr.exe that installed with Dutty's. I guess this is because it is a system file. If I try and copy and replace I get error message saying not possible. Whats the trick here?

Don't know. I just leave the exe in My Docs, and run it from the shortcuts.
Okay. Will do same. thanks..
Resco Explorer will also do it.
To dotfred from your SD Card, do this:
Place the .exe in you \Storage Card\Programs folder. With your desktop PC, navigate to \Windows Mobile Device\My Device\Storage Card\Programs & right click on the exe file. Select create shortcut. Move the shortcut to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs using desktop pc.
Voilla! you are done, go check Programs & it's there.
this is the steps i usually take when entering in a reg file. I use resco explorer for all this. I double click. Then I make sure I close resco through the menu exit and not the X button. Then I continue to play around with my phone for a while opening up menus and stuff. Then I soft reset. Doing these steps, I for sure get my stuff to work. There might be some unnecessary steps I take, but I end up with what I want. Many people have trouble keeping their registry stuff to stick. The steps I take, I never worry about that.

Thanks for the tip. Was not aware you could make shortcuts this way. Running from the card appeals because the .exe will still be there after reflashing a new ROM and I will only need to move/copy the shortcut. Being a newb I have been somewhat reluctant to run apps from the card but I am gathering that is is a quite an acceptable thing to do.
Is there a way to place registry keys inside a CAB so that they will get imported when the CAB is launched? Whilst the above DotFred association method works a treat for me with ".reg" files I would like to find a standalone method to import registry info. So that I can pass a single file to someone else and without any extra config they can import the contents into their registy.
definitely. There are a lot of cab creators where you can just enter in your reg key and will create your cab. Someone recommended me this program. I really like it.

Thanks for the link thomasster. Does the job well. Probaly an overkill (and therefore overpriced for what I need), but I got it to work OK. Also from using it, I learnt that the process simply converts the registry keys to provxml. So now I am looking to manaully create the "_setup.xml" and then use iexpress.exe in Vista to create the CABs.
Is there a way to undo changes made by import .reg file?
I imported a reg file using DotFredd's Taskmanager. Now I want to undo it? Is it possible? How?
Thanks
Hi Guys.
I'm sorry if this is a covered issue but I have honestly tried to search here and google but I cant seem to over come the problem I have installing opera.
I have downloaded opera (http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/products/)
Both .CAB and .MSi versions but when I come to install, I hit a wall.
.CAB
When I open the folder on my desktop, inside i get an XML file and a whole load of numbered files like .000 FILE, .001 FILE etc and I dont know what to do to install it. I've tried putting all these onto memory card and runing from there but there isn't any .exe to run.
.MSI
Windows vista runs the .MSI and it seems like its installing to the PC and not the TYTN. I dont get it.
Please can you help.
With the .cab part of it...all of those files you are seeing are actually the files inside the cab so you need to back up to the folder containing the .cab and you will see a little blue cabinet just drag that into your tilt directory and run it from there.
Hi thanks for the quick reply!
I can't see a Little blue cabinet file anywhere. When I download from opera website. The downloaded file is a Yellow Folder called 'opera_wm5_sp_865' with all these files inside and no blue cabinet.
Move the .cab file to your phone, use the File Explorer and click it.
Also, the MSI will install it to your phone. Did you ever try going through the entire install process?
once you do get that version of opera uninstalled try the one in my 4shared folder (link in my sig). Its modified build by gsleon3 and it is uninstallable
Oh well it might not be little and blue for you...
When I download stuff I try to download it to a folder where I store all my Kaiser stuff on my desktop so the blue .cab file(blue for me at least) is right there so it is easy to find.
Hi,
Been problem solving this issue all day today and now I've finally realised where i've gone wrong! I've managed to finally install it and it was such a small error on my part.
basically, when i downloaded the .cab file from opera website. The icon of the file was a winzip icon becuase winzip was assigned to open .cab's and i was extracting it without realising it was a .cab file. I just assumed that i was supposed to extract the winzip first. lol.
Well, have all sorted it now and I hope this helps someone who gets stuck like me....
Thanks guys!
Also gonna uninstall winzip now!
I had that problem with WinRar for awhile but I just told it to not touch .cabs
Good thing its all fixed. have fun
i plan on getting guitar hero mobile but i was wondering how do i back it up incase i have to restore my phone?
You can just save the .cab (or .exe) installation file on your desktop pc....
Then remember to save your save game file from you ppc..
when i dl the game onto my phone doenst it automatically delete the cab file? if not where is it found?

Yes, it does..
You have to edit a reg key to not delete the .cab you installed.... (but at the moment I don't remember which one....)
But you can duplicate the .cab file, so you always will have a copy....
well i have no idea how to edit the registry or anything is there an easier way? will att charge me again if i have to dl it again?
If you download it again surely you'll pay again.....
Just copy the .cab file to your desktop pc, and there won't be problems in the future....
how do i copy it to my pc doesnt it auto install once i pay and dl it?
jbed settings
look 4 a setting in jbed options. I remember saw an option to not delete cab after installed.
this is all greek to me can i use kaisertweak to edit the registry or what do i need?
OK, found the option in Advanced Config under Miscellaneous | "Delete CAB file after install", set it to NO.

Hello,
I just bought the new HTC Touch Diamond today from Telus Mobility (My Provider) and when I put on a program to install and try to open the .cab file in the File Explorer, it tries to open it in Opera Mobile and I cannot install the program.
I am using ActiveSync to transfer the files from my computer to the Internal Storage area of my phone, then I find the files using the File Explorer on the phone, click the .cab file and it tries to open it in Opera Mobile.
Anyone have any ideas?
P.S. I just tried a Soft Reset, and that didn't help.
Thanks in advance!!
Try to manually rename the files to "whatever.CAB." Add .cab to it and see if that'll get it working.
Hmm..
Okay, I tried that and it didn't work.
I am trying to install a program and the files it has is:
_setup - XML Document (I click on that to activate install?)
ADVANC~1.000
ADVANC~1
ADVANC~1.003
ADVANC~1.004
ADVANC~2.002
Hope this helps..
(Yes, I realize it's not a cab file >.< )
After reviewing the situation over. You are NOT supposed to extract the files, then put them on your phone. Leave them in the archive (.cab file), upload to your phone and then execute it.
It should start installing right away.
Hope this helps for anyone else!!
hi
i sometimes download files via opera and i use the open option, but opera keeps a copy in the /windows folder, which means i gotta keep cleanin dat folder otherwise my main memory gets full..
1. Is there any way to change the download folder to internal memory?
2. Havin the same problem with the default bluetooth incoming folder
3. How do I check if i'm using the latest Opera version?
im using stock 1.93 wwe rom.
Thanks in advance...
If you just press open then it will download to a temp directory, but it should delete it after opera closes unless you keep it open when you close opera
maybe im usin an outdated version becoz whether the downloaded file is open or not it keeps a copy in
Code:
\windows\opera9\download
directory.
im using ver 9.5 build 1522

Bump. Looking for the same answer. Just realized there are a bunch of cab files in my Application Data\Opera9\download folder, even though I save my cab files to My Storage when asked.
you can change this by typing:
Code:
opera:config
in your adressbar in opera, you'll get a bunch of options there

Unfortunately, download location isn't one of them. I did figure this out via Download Squad.
Change your download directory:
1. Edit the Opera.ini file
2. Under [User Prefs] change "Download Directory=\My Documents\" to another directory on your device or storage card
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My .ini file didn't have a download directory setting, so I created one.
Downloads pref
There's a "Save Dir" setting under Saved Settings in Opera:Config. I think that's what you're looking for.
Oddly, though, all my files seem to be going to \MUSIC, which I don't understand, especially since the Save Dir is set to \Windows\Opera9\download...
Anyone know what's going on with this?
Edit: Aha! Figured out my problem. In Opera:config, in the User Prefs section, there is a Download Directory setting which actually sets where things are downloaded. I'm not sure what the Save Dir setting does, especially since there seems to BE no \Windows\Opera9\download directory...
The problem is that only official builds ALWAYS support this feature, imho. F.e. 15954 doesn't saves the files into directory specified in "Download Directory" as default.
what works for me
Hi I realise this is an old thread but maybe some people, like me, are still searching for more memory on their Omnia.
Changing the download location for Opera didn't work for me - couldn't open the files once downloaded. So I kept the same folder and there are two ways to clear it.
1) when you finish looking at the attachment, it should bring you back to download screen, where you can select delete (sorry that's not much help)
2) easier - Download ClearTemp and change custom folder 1 to \Application Data\Opera 9\Downloads\. Added benefit that it clears other things that build up too. And there is a check box to clear automatically when you start up, so you don't even need to run the programme.
Another hint, when you can't get text messages through as there is not enough storage memory, go to task manager and end all tasks to free up a couple of megs (I find this also saves battery life).
