Hello! I appreciate very much what this comunity does for all of the pocket pc owners out there. That being said, could someone please post a how-to on upgradin Opera 9.5 without upgrading the firmware, please? I've searched the forum but people seem not to want to answer to this question. Maybe it's an idiotic question.. When i try to upgrade mine it says that it cannot remive the previous version, and when i press yes on wanting to continue at the end it says installation not successful! Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Hmm... Doesn't anyone know this? 75 people read this and no one? I find this very strange. I hoped that other people were having this question. Thank you!
If you just want to upgrade, uninstall the old version if you are able and install the latest cab or find an upgrade version. If you can't uninstall, just install the new version overtop of the old. If you install over top make sure you are launching the proper executable. You can check your version by going to help, about Opera, and look for your build version at the top.That's it!
Next time try doing a little more reading, the answer is out there!!!!!
To Upgrade the Stock Version of Opera on a Diamond
Hi. It's unusual that somebody hasn't posted these complete steps before. So here we go:
To upgrade the stock version of Opera on a Diamond without flashing a new ROM
1. Go to the Opera thread here. Don't bother trying to install the official (non-Diamond) beta of Opera as it's more trouble than it's worth. Use the official Diamond Opera betas in the link here. You also should not try to uninstall the Opera version you already have on your Diamond
2. Download the Diamond Opera version that you would like. Choose the Upgrade zip package, not the Full Install package
3. Open the downloaded zip file and extract the three files (Opera9.exe, OperaL.exe, OperaPreL.exe)
4. Transfer these to a folder on your Diamond. eg "New Build"
5. Make a backup of the original Opera9.exe, OperaL.exe and OperaPreL.exe that is in the Windows folder of your Diamond. This is in the event that the new Opera build doesn't work as expected and you want to go back to the previous version
6. Use Resco File Explorer or similar to copy and paste the three files from the "New Build" folder to the Windows folder on your device. This will overwrite the old Opera files with the new ones. You can't use the standard WM6 File Explorer to do this as it won't let you overwrite the old files
7. Reset
8. The new build of Opera is now installed. Before you do anything else, return to the Windows folder on your Diamond and locate the "ghost images" of the older Opera build that are left behind (these have filenames along the lines of Opera9.exe.$7 and OperaL.exe.$22 or similar; make sure you don't try to delete the newer Opera9.exe and OperaL.exe files!) Deleting these unnecessary "ghost images" will free up lots of space.
For the record, I'm currently using build 1938 of Opera (extracted from a newer Diamond ROM). I don't recommend using the newest 2128 build as it comes with lots of issues such as excessive boot time, problems loading TouchFlo 3D favourites, etc. I think this new build is only designed to work alongside a newer version of TouchFlo 3d. The 1938 build works great for me though. Very quick, no issues. Still waiting for them to improve the Favourites list in Opera itself; it's a shambles.
Hope that helps
Dave
thank you
Now this is what a call a very good walktrough! Thank you for your help! I installed the version you sugested and it works perfectly! I guess it's quite easy when you know what to do.
+1 Thank you for this clear explanation.
Ciao

Thanks for the brilliant guide, I tried a cab upgrade earlier and killed opera completely (had to restore my sprite backup from the morning).
I'll give this a go
THANK you for the VERY clear and well written set of instructions on this, I just got my Diamond (US Unlocked Version) today, and you saved me a lot of headaches!
i upgraded to opera 9.5.2745
just run the .cab and it was done without any problems...
but the icons turn out really small after the install.. other than that, everything works great?
got my opera from this link (not sure if external links are allowed, pls remove if its not!)

You might have a QVGA version. This thread has links to both VGA and QVGA versions, but there is apparently a problem with the VGA version posted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442252
See post #115 of the thread, someone has helpfully posted instruction on how to get the QVGA version working in VGA. Simply replace the skin file and the loading image (png file) and edit your opera.ini file with new zoom settings.
if i find a cab, how exactly do I install it? i do have a registry editor, rescoe. I just got my new AT&T Fuze, and there are some issues, like hte fm radio, etc, and i see where people listed cabs for fixes, but I am a newbie and not sure how to install these.

Hi Pam, .cab or cabinet files are installed from within your device, just click on it and it will ask you where you want the files too be installed (device or storage card). You will find that there are .exe istaller files that can initiate the same process, but you have to be connected to your computer, which most of us don't like. It is an easy and clean way the install files directly in your device. I personally like to keep a lot of cab files in my storage card so that if I delete the cab or flash my device i can reinstall all my favorite applications again, no matter where I am
Interesting question..
I have the stock ATT FUZE rom. I hard-reset which wiped out my device clean and after the first reboot.. right before it said it was 'installing ATT fluff', I soft reset it again.
This gives me the basic ATT ROM without all the fluff and I can manually add existing CAB files already loaded. (yes, this is not as clean as flashing with a cooked ROM but works for me for now). This works for me.
Question is:
How do I get Manila/TF3d to autostart?
TF3D does not load automatically. I have to go to \windows\manila.exe to launch it. I created a shortcut to \windows\manila.exe in the \windows\startup folder but it does nothing.
TF3D does not show in the TODAY ITEMS.
I tried launching \windows\ManialActivateToday.exe but it does nothing.
I could always flash this ROM or do the full ATT install and start removing programs... but prefer to just keep what I have and autolaunch Manila.
What are your thoughts on this?
A quick search would yield the answer. There is a looonnnngggg thread about skipping customization. I know because I started it. You have to install a cab out of the windows folder to make manila work.
ahhh.. even though Manila worked fine by skipping the customization and launching from \windows\manila.exe, looks like you do have to install the PT_Manila.cab to make this happen. Thanks for the tip.
Hi to all! Im preparing my first rom, and i have problems
Im using the Visual Kitchen and my problem is that, y prepared the cabs i want to install like a Kvosky Package, and y edit de config_ap, when it is customizing, it says : Installing : Program.cab , but when it reboots, the programs arent installed (I have to install them manually form the folder windows) and it doesnt created me the shortcuts, from the rhodium calculator, audio booster ...

I'm impressed. This is how default titanium should be. Very convenient to use.
Thank you very much.
impressive
this is very impressive why should MS hired this guy!hehehe anyway is there any chance for QVGA?
After playing a little bit with it:
- it's all down to personal taste but... I don't like that manila clock too much. Something closer to default titanium would be better.
- Personal taste again, but I think that lines between sections are not necessary as it breaks some "visual serenity" ;-)
- Clock animation are laggy.
- It seems mortscript cannot connect to internet to get weather information, I have to figure out why...
Thank you again!
any chance of a mirror please ? rapidshare drives me nuts thanks
Won't install
After I installed it, rebooted, then uninstalled it (because the weather icon was a huge red "X") and rebooted and try to reinstall it again I always get "Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions."
How do I fix that? It won't let me install it anymore... ugh and I really like how it looks.
Any help?
I agree with mirakle for the clock and the lines, but i'ts a good work
VGA Please
Wow....
I haven't downloaded or installed it yet, but it looks phenomenal. I agree with a couple of others in that removing the lines would go a long way in improving the "visual serenity".
Nate
QVGA would be great, this is a really nice theme.
Very nice work!
1 problem with weather icon, when my city added and run full update:
Big red cross icon are back, not weather icon.
For fix it i select in weather setting/ Icon/ CheroClock/HTC
Then run full update and it work with good icon.
Thank you so much for your work
Edit= Need select icon on every update

You get this message if you uninstall v1.1 and try to install v1.2 any ideas whats going on ? - I uninstalled everything again & soft reset , but no joy
Hey guys,
I just saw my theme is posted here. Im glad some people like it.
You can find my original thread over at modaco, where you you will get more support on this. Ill try to help here as much as i can.
For the people having problem uninstalling and reinstalling.
1.disable titanium.
2.soft reset.
3.uninstall with sktools
4.soft reset.
5.install the new version.
As for the X's on weather panel.
After you set your location some times the icon folder gets reseted and you get some red X's instead of weather icons. You will have to set it again, go option->weather settings->icon , expand the CHeroClock folder, select the HTC folder and press ok.
Hi bought sktools - a snip for under a fiver today from pocketnet - but since there is nothing to uninstall it still didn't work .. the cab creates the directories but does not populate them, nor update the registry or do anything else apart from unpack the data to application data/volatile.. any ideas - this was a great theme
Mirror 1.2.1
Wqvga please please!!!

Im sorry to here that. I can think of some things you could try:
-Clean your registry with sktools. Try to install the new version after.
-Does it let you install the old version? If yes, install it and then uninstall it again with sk tools. (Keep titanium disabled at all times). Try to install the new version after.
-Go to HKLM\Security\AppInstall and see if you have any left overs from my cab (gchrisTitanium). Delete it. Go to HKLM\Software\Apps and do the same. Try to install the new version after.
