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.

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.
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
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;
I used Sprite backup for my contacts, messages, bookmarks etc. However, when I restored, the bookmarks didn;t take in the web browser (Using Cognition 2.2 BETA). No biggie. But when I use Folder Organizer, they show up there. Now this isn't a problem, except for the fact that I can't seem to delete any of them.
Can anyone tell me where Folder Organizer gets the info for displaying these bookmarks so that maybe I can delete that and start over?
EDIT: Now it looks like I can't even add new bookmarks within the browser...grr... Well, it seems I can add NEW bookmarks, but if it's a book mark that I had before (one that Folder Organizer is showing) it won't add.
EDIT: I solved it by downloading Bookmark Organizer from the Market.
Moving to a new phone I can find no way to export or transfer my bookmarks from my old phone's Next Browser except by syncing to their website which I do not want to do.
Even Titanium Backup restore cannot transfer the bookmarks from one phone to the other.
So, unless you wish to share your bookmarks with their site, you cannot transfer your bookmarks.
