How to make opera mobile default browser? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Ok...i've been having some problems with this for a long time now, and now im' finally started looking into how i can change it. but does anyone know how to make the opera mobile browsers the system wide default no matter what programs are used? it seems like some programs use opera, while others (palringo) default to PIE. the funny thing is, even palringo doesn't always default to PIE its just a hit or miss.
i searched and found this
1) suggests changing Default Browser key:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai/: DEFBROWSER/1 to operal.exe from iexplore.exe (then soft reset)
doesn't work
2) opera:config --->install--->first time launch, save (exit then soft rest)
doesn't work
3) in the opera settings menu, there's an option to make it default browser (exit then soft rest)
doesn't work
does anyone know of a sure fire way to make it so that system wide whenever you open a url it always opens in opera? only other thing i found was xperia and a touch pro tweak cabs which obviously wont work on the kaiser.

lil' help
Search this forum for a .cab called WM6 OperaDefault. I use it on my s620 running WM6.5 it should work for you. Any URL in a email opens in opera mini.

I don't know the answer, haven't got my diamond yet - but can I ask why you want to use iexplore over opera and all its new features? Just asking if its not as good as its hyped to be.
we used to have different applications build for IE and by clicking a URL the Diamond will open Opera.
I would be interested to disable Opera as default browser too. Anybody found a way to set PIE as default browser. It's not that I dislike Opera, but one of my most frequently used sites http://mobile.alex.nl opens really small in it. Every time I open it I have to zoom in to make it readable.
Of course if anyone knows a solution to this problem, I'm also interested.
Did you guys tried to search?
Look what I found:

it seems, the new version of sktools is able to set iexplore as default browser.

Actually I did, but apparently with the wrong terms! Thanks!
Yes, but this will not change the browser that is opened from the browser tab in TF3D. Despite the default browser set, in TF3D when click on "Browser", still the Opera is opening

For us Opera mobile 9.5 lovers!!! Updated build Opera.v9.5.QVGA.Build.1409.WWE

edit: nice version thank you sir
edit2: I agree with everything you state in post 3.
ok, this one definitely feels good! quicker, feels more stable with certain websites that weren't as stable with the previous builds, and the animations seems much smoother. I still couldnt get f7 to work properly with youtube websites(kept freezing) But overall it seems of an upgrade!
I'm having the same issue I had with the last version posted and that is Opera will hang at the launch / splash screen and I can not kill the processes either, however I can still use the phone and launch other apps, but the splash screen stays on top. I have to soft reset to get back to normal.

its either the rom your using or its conflicting with another software.
So far this version seems like a definite improvement - the biggest being that I can now use the 'automatic full screen' option without it changing to full screen half way through typing an address on my Kaiser keyboard!
Haven't come across any bugs as yet.
initial testing shows:
- overall speed/feel increase
- addressbar doesn't auto-hide when typing w/ hardkeys in auto-minimize mode
bug: after closing out of opera in landscape mode, left my tilt in left-handed landscape mode. had to go to settings->system->display to bring it back into portrait mode.
Testing on June 29 ryncppr v6, 1.58.25.17 radio, hardspl 3.56
Bug: When using the hardware keyboard to fill in fields on a webpage, the field that is being typed in sometimes looses focus after each letter is selected on the keyboard. If the software keyboard is used, the problem does not occur.
With 8.65, i could copy the opera6 adr file that i have saved on my sd card and paste it into the opera folder to import my bookmarks after flashing, etc. This doesn't seem to work with opera 9. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Build 1184 vs 1409
In Build 1184 when I pressed an internet link in an email Opera 9.5 would load the page not PIE. With build 140p, PIE loads the page and not Opera Mobile. I have looked in the settings etc and can not find a way to make Opera Mobile my "default browser" Is this possible? If so how?
i'm still getting the missing address bar when typing on the kaiser keyboard. im still using wm6. anyone else still has the problem?

is anyone still using wm6 and having the same problem or is it just me?
I am using the Titan with windows mobile six and am also having this problem with opera mobile 9.5. Anybody with a fixed build?
Yup - my vario III on standard rom does this - I can only type one letter in from the keyboard before the focus is lost. Also it's not running as the default browser and there is no option to set this :-(
Looks lovely though....
Default Browser key:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai/: DEFBROWSER/1
Note: the above key is "colon and capital 'D' together" but the board makes it into a grin icon. lol
by default, it should be ":MSPIE", you can change it to the location of OperaL.exe, generally "\windows\operal.exe"
Bug: RSSHub is no longer able to open a link, it gives the error "file http://.... cannot be opened"
Fix: RSSHub seems to be connected to pocket ie. you will need to reset all registry references back to pocket ie and THEN apply the default browser registry hack. ( soft reset after all that )

Registry change worked like a champ. Opera Build 1409 now opens when I select a link in an email. Thanks a Bunch!!! Sorry I can't help with the RSSHub issue.
Dissapearing Address Bar
I am using WM 6.1 (one of Duttys hybrid ROMs) and still ahve the issue with the sddress bar dissapearing before I am finished typing.
I still believe it may be related to Opera not recognizing the pull out (hard) keyboard, or perhaps it is related to the Diamond XT9 keyboard in my ROM....
Any info. appreciated!

Michael

Opera mobile 9.5 Widgets

I downloaded Opera mobile 9.51. Whenever I exit opera, it opens Opera Widgets (sort of a menu). What the heck is that and how do I disable it. I deleted wgtman.exe from Program Files/Opera Mobile Beta but it still keep opening that widget window. Very annoying. I do not want widget. Please help.
I'd like an answer to this as well, I did a lot of searching but found nothing.
I hate Opera Widgets. I don't believe there is a way to get rid of them other than to change Opera versions. I used this custom build for a long time, and I really like it. It supports 10 tabs instead of 3, and gets pages quite quickly. Except for an annoying bug where the screen rotates 90 degrees which occurs if you tap a taskbar icon (like the sound icon), it works really well.
Dave
yea thats a bug. if you close opera using the x button or the task manager you get opera widgets and then it wont close but if u go to exit on the opera menu, you wont have that problem.
The normal builds also support 10 tabs, just change the max. number of tabs in opera:config (enter opera:config as the URL). Alas, the normal builds also still have the annoying rotation bug as well as the bug where I cannot enter umlauts on the hardware keyboard.
From my experience, I've never found an Opera build that had any tab-related setting in Opera:Config. The reason NFSFan's build is so special is because tab settings are normally hard coded into Opera, so you couldn't have more than usually 3 tabs, at least every version I've used.
Dave
I'm not sure about older versions, but the 9.5 betas currently available at http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/ certainly support 10 tabs. http://my.opera.com/haavard/blog/20...-5-how-to-increase-the-maximum-number-of-tabs also has this info.
Oh, maybe that's why. The one I'm using is cooked into my ROM, and the ones I've used before it were all from other devices like the Diamond, Omina, etc.

TF3D2 does not launch icontact

I have setup the right button to launch my contacts has worked fine until i recently updated to the latest rom by qsqa which has Tf3d2 and win mobile 6.5. When i hit the contact button it launched the stock contacts.
im having similar problems - also icontact doesnt seem to stay in sync with the standard contacts now im on wm6.5 - which i "think" it did before
What are you using to set the link to the softkey button? I usually just do a registry edit which always works with no problems. Using a Registry Editor, goto:
HKLM, Software, HTC, Manila.
Change "HomeLSKPath"/"HomeRSKPath" to wherever your file is for the icontacts. Prob safest bet to link it to the /Windows file path. You can also link to different Manila tabs. For ex, I have my RSk linked to "Manila://internet/page" to bring up the web tab quickly.
Change "HomeLSKText"/"HomeRSKText" to whatever you want displayed on your softkeys.
Do a soft reset and enjoy
it works fine on mine but had to use diamond tweak to change it ... but sometimes it changes itself back to the normal contact from windows mobile ...

opera 9.6 as default browser

i think i may have a stupid question but ive really looked everywhere for the solution and cant find anything!
the problem is:
on my topaz (original rom etc) i installed opera mobile 9.7b just to try it out, didn't work wit the zoombar and G-sensor so i just unstalled it. but now when i open a link in e.g. an e-mail i get IE instead of opera 9.6 (the original delivered with the topaz).
i've looked every little file on my phone but i can't find where i can put the old opera back to default! anybody here maybe can help..
or... is it possible to integrate opera 9.7beta into the topaz, so i can use the zoombar and the tilt function when i'm browsing, and acces true the internet button on my touchflo 3d?
I like the new opera but it isn't really working for 100% integrated on my phone so the old one is better to use for me
