Made this cab to add the Opera icon to your Opera Mini shortcut under programs.
I got sick of looking at the generic Esmertec Jbed icon, and feel this is a more polished solution.
I'm running Open Touch V3 which came with Opera Mini already loaded, so this cab may or not work for your specific rom, but it can be easily uninstalled if it doesnt work for you. YMMV
If it does work on your rom please confirm here, Thanks!
Very Nice. Thank You!
Totally awesome... was thinking about doing the same thing!!!
Now this is definetely an ELEGANT solution! Thanks a lot!!!!!!
You should do the same thing for the GMAIL app
I started looking into the whole icon thing once, but ended up not following thru with it... so awesome you got it working.

Wow, this is just awesome. Thanks alot
Next step... how to associate url files with Opera Mini
the formula...
I tried to register Opera Mini as the default program to open url files. I used the following command line:
"\Storage Card\Program Files\Esmertec Java\jbed.exe" -run s0_ ?\Windows\operal.exe,-0 "%1" which is basically your shortcut with an additional %1 (open file). Of course it didn't work.
Any suggestions?
And again... thanks for the cab. It finally made Opera Mini my default Browser!
thanks - works great on AT&T Tilt!

JZ
JZ SmartMort v1.4 Released!
Announcing JZ SmartMort v1.4!
Now you can use JZ SmartMort to create Opera Mini and any other JBed application icon on your Start Menu!
Have a look at the screenshots of JZ SmartMort, available HERE or at SourceForge. Below are the prominent features that the software offers.
Copy / Paste
Clipboard / URL history
Multi-browser (Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, NetFront, Skyfire, Internet Explorer)
Make any installed browser system-level, where it opens links from anywhere. Ability to have a default browser (with a special timeout in case you want to open a link with a non-default browser).
Hardware buttons - supports Pocket PCs & SmartPhones for advanced hardware button mapping.
Opera Mini - shortcut on the Start Menu, different paste & URL handling methods to accommodate different phones.
JBed - create Start Menu shortcuts for any JBed app, run JBed App directly using JZ SmartMort, troubleshoot your JBed installation.
Ability to open synced Mobile Favorites with any browser, process killing and many other interesting features.
Includes general tweaks and hacks which will keep growing
Revisions:
v1.4 *** 2008-07-07
- Created help files.
- Browser: Skyfire fully compatible now, new scan/detection with fail-over paths (if browsers references don't exist in the usual locations like the registry). If default browser timeout is set to zero, the JZ Browser prompt will be bypassed entirely.
- Opera Mini: full-screen, kill JBed option, multiple URL & pasting options.
- Lots of new options for button mapping. All known registry and link file button hacks now integrated to allow virtually any command to be called up. Also provides ability to create a CUSTOM link file from scratch.
- Changed menus to include menu-returns for easy navigation and better user friendliness. Added letters to Action menu as qwerty keyboard shortcuts.
- Phone-specific menu under JZ Settings which expands button mapping for BlackJack II (Samsung i617) CV/MediaNet buttons, as well as, AT&T Tilt (HTC Kaiser) PTT & Long-PTT buttons. More will be added.
- Creation of Start Menu shortcuts & opening of JBed applications w/o needing to open JBed first.
- 3 different methods under JZ Settings > JZ Misc. Options for opening Favorites. Save a Favorite from the JZ Browser script when you pop a link.
- Incorporated VitoCopyPaste with a timeout to return your directional pad action button back to normal.
- Various speed & optimization considerations incorporated.
- Function to deal with MortScript losing focus (e.g. when Home is pressed while Mort choice menu is running).
thanx a lot!!
Ive installed the latest opera beta and used various aps to have the new version of the browser (not the one that came with the phone) launch from the touchflo3d menus. However, it still seems to be displaying the bookmarks from the old opera, when I edit bookmarks in the new beta they don't display on the browser touchflo tab.
For now, I copied the opera6.adr file from the beta 9.5 application data folder and overwrote the .adr file in the windows programs directory where the standard opera that came with the phone stores its files.
However, is there a registry edit or app that will allow me to edit the path to the bookmarks file that touchflo uses in its interface?

I have a similar problem. How can someone replace the link in the touchflo tab of internet in order to point to a different browser and not the standard coming with HTC TD?
THANXX
anybody? I am having the same problem
Hi!
I had this problem and eventually found that it is hard-coded in one of the LUA scripts. Sorry, don't know which one from memory. I tried decompiling this script, but I could not get it compliled again - even without changing a character.
So I'm sorry to say that you can't do it that way.
There IS however something you can try:
Open Opera and type opera:config in the title bar.
Under "Saved Settings" and "User Prefs" there's a bunch of paths you can modify.
You might try the "Opera Directory" path under "User Prefs".
Hope this helps.
From a quick look at the first-boot-scripts it seems that the opera6.adr file is placed eventually in \windows\opera9\opera6.adr.
The default bookmarks are cooked in in a file \windows\_opera6.adr and when you first turn on your phone it copies / moves the file to \windows\opera9\opera6.adr. The path also comes up while searching through several _manila files so that also seems to be the location where TouchFlo is looking for the bookmarks.
If you want that Internet tab to be integrated with _another_ browser you have a lot of Decompiling, recompiling, editing of LUA code and hex-editing work to.
Changing browser to point to Opera Mobile 9.5 beta
Someone else posted this & I copied into a Word doc, so I apologize for not giving proper credit:
All you need to do is to modify a file named “InternetPortal-en-US.xml” which is located in \Application Data\Manila. Use the freeware application Total Commander to navigate to this file and once you locate it press the pen/paper icon on the bottom of the page and that will open the file on the screen so you can edit it. Just so everyone knows, we’re not tweaking the registry here. I’m just using Total Commander because it is more powerful than File Explorer so don’t be afraid of it
Ok, once the file is open in Total Commander just add one of the following lines after the line <InternetPortal> which is towards the top:
Opera is:
<BrowserExe>\Windows\OperaL.exe</BrowserExe>
mobile\OperaL.exe</BrowserExe>
Internet Explorer is:
<BrowserExe>\Windows\iexplore.exe</BrowserExe>
SkyFire is:
<BrowserExe>\program files\skyfire\skyfire.exe</BrowserExe>
Iris is:
<BrowserExe>\program files\iris browser\irisbrowser.exe</BrowserExe>
I installed Opera Mobile 9.5 beta to my storage card, so my new path is:
<BrowserExe>\storage card\program files\opera
*Note if you can't save your changes - make sure that the file isn't set on "read only" (click the hand holding the paper icon and uncheck the "read only" box. You may have to click twice to remove the setting)
Yeah I do not see that file anywhere
I have the Sprint branded HTC Diamond and the \Application Data\Manila folder does not exist, I am using Total Commander.

I saw this as a solution to make 9.5 default if you lose 9.5 as the default browser. Are you saying if I upgraded to 9.7 beta, this process will make my 9.7 bookmarks the bookmarks in the TF3D internet tab?
hello, i have a small problem, after trying various registry changes etc for changing the default browser to Opera 9.5 (i have the first firmware release of x1 at moment, will change it to r3 when i have some time) i succeded to change the default browser when i click links around using XperiaTweak2...
I use my x1 a LOT with the gmail java application, is way more confortable that any other way for using my gmail account and i use it as only email, well, the problem is that even if the default browser is set to opera and works if i click links around it does not work when i click a link in the Java app for Gmail... i have tryed to use gmail from opera but with this java app is way faster and more confortable...
any idea on how i can manage to force this damn thing to open the links i click in the Gmail Java app with Opera and not with IE?
I attach here the java installer since for the x1 installing from website don't work for some reasons...
I am glad that someone thought to post this. I have been fighting this issue with my java gmail app on windows mobile for nearly a year. I had to go back to version 1.5.0.1193 instead of using the updated 2.0.6 version because in the newer version when I click on a link it locks up my entire phone and I have to do a soft reset to get the phone back to normal. In version 1.5.0.1193 I get this message immediately after I click on a link "http://www.google.com/gwt/n?u=http%3A%2F%www.ebay.com" with a question asking me if I want to open this URL with a yes or no option. In this case I was just clicking on a link to take me to ebay's main website page. If I click "Yes" then IE Mobile opens (BLAH!) and it inserts "http://www.google.com/gwt/n?u=http%3A%2F%www.ebay.com" in the address bar in IE Mobile and all I get is the general "The page cannot be found" error message. There are no options under "Settings" to change the default browser or how it inserts the links in the address bar. So, I have been puzzled about this for a really long time and I thought I was the only one that was bothered by this. If there are any good programmers out there that understand Java please help us with this.
just install R3A, i found out that it makes Opera the default browser for everything
EDIT: You may also find the new beta Opera Browser 9.7 useful as it has a "Set Opera as default browser" option
Hi,
I need help ...
I just installed SKTools 3.1.12, and I used "Clean Up" tool ...
The SKTool cleaned up suppose to be junks, temporary, or bad shortcuts ...
But now, my link to Java (Esmeretec Jbed) is missing.
Do you know how to recreate it?
I used to have "Java" icon somewhere in the "Programs" or "Settings", which I can click to start Opera Mini 4.2.
Thanks
when i view the properties of the "Java" link file with resco explorer, the shortcut points to:
"\Windows\jbed.exe"?MPI_ProgramIcons.dll,-121
note that this is on my current ROM (PDA Corner Ultimate X2.V8). also, i can gather that for the above to work, there must be a file called "jbed.exe" in your windows folder and another file called "MPI_ProgramIcons.dll". can't decipher much more than that but perhaps someone else can
on a side note, i'm curious why you are using opera MINI when opera MOBILE is available for windows mobile and it is oh so much better! for one thing, it doesn't need java (i.e. its a native application) and it has a desktop rendering mode which works pretty well! give it a shot!
I tried to create .lnk file using my PC, content:
"\Windows\jbed.exe"?MPI_ProgramIcons.dll,-121
And I placed it in \Windows\Programs\
It does not work.
About Opera Mobile, it is slow ... unfortunately.
And I installed 9.7, but the Turbo mode setting cannot be saved permanently:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4878752&postcount=798
Fixed!
I used Total Commander, copied something.lnk to Java.lnk.
Edit the Shortcut to the above content.
Thanks ASCIIker!
Just a little info:
Get Opera Mobile from the source Opera Mobile website and the Turbo Mode works just not when dowloading you have to change setting refresh page.
Mind you i still use Mini as it's just soooo fast
Re: The bit in shortcut @ end after and inc ? points to a .dll and the no. of the resource so as to use custom start menu icons.
ive seem alot of people asking devs to mirror stuff other then MF, they say they cant get into it from their phone.
This is
TRY loading the page as a http socket /desktop View
for example download opera mini i know it supports it, or Dolphin HD users, download desktop view plugin to load all pages as you would normally see em on a computer, not gonna mention chrome beta cuz it aint supported by our phone

but it is supported, all you need to do is install this rom that works very fine to be a nightly and you are good to go 'cause it's based on ICS 4.0.4 there is only two mood killers right now camera an mobile data are still waiting to be enabled, but I'm prepare to make it my daily use rom, I'll just wait 'till the data issue is solve, I even dust off my Cyber-shot to take it with me for as long as we have no camera,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650537
that was the rom i was using, mediafire was not working on mobile for at least 5 hours
Or another thing you could do is to type in the address bar: about:debug (type it exactly as I wrote it here) and then go to settings (you'll see a lot of new options) and then scroll al the way down to UAString. There you will find the following options:
Android
Desktop
iPhone
iPad
Froyo-N1
These may vary depending on the ROM you have, but when I download from mediafire I usually use Desktop or iPad mode. After this all you have to do is refresh.
This will save you the hassle of downloading a new browser and it's plug-ins.
Hope I helped you.

Hi, this is my solution, the way I have been surfing 100% like desktop last months.
Open this post with your phone, and copy this user agent string:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/536.6 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/20.0.1092.0 Safari/536.6
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, you need to open the hidden menu (3845#*970#) and go to Browser Utility.
Do the following steps:
1- Edit UAProfile. Delete all the text and save.
2- Enable/disable X-wap-profile. Touch so its says "ua-profile is 0"
3- Edit UAString. Delete all and paste the string you copied before, and save
4- Enable/Disable Test UAString. Touch to set enabled.
Set all your browser to desktop mode and reboot.
Now all the internet sites will think you're using chrome 20 in windows 7
Opera users:
This wont fix it for you.
You need to type this in the address bar:
about:config
Now go all down to the "User Prefs" settings.
Move down until you see "Custom User-Agent"
Paste here the same string you copied before.
Go to the end of page and touch Save.
Kill opera or reboot, logically you need to first set the opera in desktop mode (in advanced settings).
In this way I have Opera, Dolphin and the stock browser surfing with desktop chrome user agent.
Enjoy!

Yeah, it will slow down in some webs, especially in those with ads, so lots of gifs, banners everywhere...but for that you can use "ADaway" from market and block most of the ads... the best is to configure plugins to load on touch, else if you open few tabs all will load and run any embedded flash showing ads or whatever, really slowing down everything.
I surf pretty fast in most of sites, considering that it is a mobile device
For my mediafire works good again in the stock browser
