Opera 8.65 on non-english device

think I read about a fix for this problem somewhere, but can't find it. Any help?

install it to your device. after that go to /programme or how your program directory is named. take the opera directory to /program files/
the correct directory name should be:
/Program Files/Opera/
its only the shortcut link which leads to the wrong directory

I followed the instructions, moved the opera-folder to a newbuildt folder 'program files' but the problem persist. I'm able to launch the .exe-file from the filemanager. Opera has announced a new build shortly, so I will wait for that.

Then create a new link to "OperaLaunchWM.exe" in the Start menu to be able to start Opera. Thats it.

ROM 1.37's Touch flow 3D's Opera Launcher fixed URL can be changed or removed now, #7

I have flashed to 1.37 Malaysia WWE ROM, under the 3D touch flow, when I click the browser, it opens to HTC site instead of a local search page like 1.34ROM. Is there a way I change it?
I have changed the startup homepage in opera setting but it didn't change the default page when you launch the browser from 3D touch flow.. any ideas to have it changed? thanks

when u open it at the adress bar u see from where the file (URL) is its shortcut in windows make a shortcut of a browser in your pc and name it the same thing as u had that is ( windows\htc-opera.html) so with your pc make a shortcut of internet adress u like and the save it to your desktop and then rename it to htc-opera.html and copy this to your device windows folder thats it !!

I have done that but it seems the opera launcher in 3D touch flow is hardcoded to www.htc.com. In fact under the globe icon in 3D touch flow, it has a line www.htc.com . I forget whether it is the same in 1.34 ROM. But so far I am not able to change that...

anyone got any idea? thanks

ok, i got tricked by this as well.
Look underneath the earth in the browser panel.
It says "Launch Browser - www.htc.com"
So I guess it always launches to htc.com.
To launch Opera only and on your predefined start page, use the Right softkey when on the browser panel. It's labeled BROWSER.
Irritating

i noticed the browser softkey, but i think there must be a way to change this... it seems this is not an issue with 1.34 rom

I finally resolved this issue; anyone who has the same problem go to "Application Data" folder and delete this file: InternetPortal-en-AU.xml. or you can edit the InternetPortal-en-AU.xml file , it will then go to whatever URL you have changed in InternetPortal-en-AU.xml when you launch it by the Globe Icon, don't worry, the Globe is still there. As a rule of thumb, back up the file before you make changes
Please note that this InternetPortal-en-AU.xml is a read only file, you need to copy it to your PC for editing the URL you want to go when you hit the Globe Icon. First, uncheck the "read only" tab in file properities. then edit it with notepad on PC. After you are done, rename it to InternetPortal-en-AU-new.xml ( your file extension may be hidden) , copy it back to Diamond's" Application Data" folder. then launch "File Explorer" in your Diamond, then go to "Application Data" folder, rename InternetPortal-en-AU to InternetPortal-en-AU-bak then rename InternetPortal-en-AU-new to InternetPortal-en-AU, You are done !

So what does the screen show now? I mean before you tap on the browser.
Is it still the globe, just without directing you to the htc official site?

without the file, it will go to whatever homepage you have set in Opera's setting, or you can edit the InternetPortal-en-AU.xml file , it will then go to whatever URL you have changed in InternetPortal-en-AU.xml when you launch it by the Globe Icon, don't worry, the Globe is still there. As a rule of thumb, back up the file before you make changes

Thanks vaio for web browser tip!

I've finally got time to try this out, & it works like a charm! thank you so much!
Now... would it be possible to change the browser icon to something of personal preference? I saw a path inside the *.xml & it directed to a banner.qtf or something. Or is it embedded?
Anyway, just want to thank you for this huge help.

princEd, thanks for your kind words.. will keep searching for tweaks..

Hi all, can anyone post the original script for "InternetPortal-en-AU.xml" Thanks in advance..

Hi.
I don't have this XML file in Application Data too, and my Internet Tab is just useless : the globe button does strictly nothing, neither do the "browser" or "more" bottom buttons, and the youtube link below the globe displays an error message about missing file or incorrect certificate.
So I would like to :
make the "Launch Browser" button launch Opera 9.5b or at least Internet Explorer
if possible, make it launch my homepage or a customizable page
remove this Youtube link
learn how to add other links
having a link/button to one-click des/activate WLAN would be just GREAT
Can somebody post the content of the XML file ?
And of course, if anybody knows how to achieve any of the above...
Thanks in advance

TF3D version: 1.1.34569.0_1630.38

try reinstalling an opera cab, it may ask you to remove the old version if you have one. reset and try again.

doesn't change anything

Opera default download location

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).

Files opens with opera..

Hi there,
I was about to install some tings on my htc diamond, but when i try to run the .xml from my htc, somehow it wants to open with Opera, and keeps opening the program, how do i change that, and what should i open with instead ?
Regards

.xml
.xml files will always be opened with the default web browser on your device (which is Opera on the Diamond)... unless you've changed the default browser settings.
If you're wanting to edit the file you're talking about, you can do that in any text editor. With regards to 'running' an .xml, that's what your web browser does.

sounds like you have extracted the .cab file
dont. just copy the .cab to your diamond, and run it from the diamond.
a .cab file is a self installing file (like you can do with .zip on a PC)

Opera Mobile opening cab files as text

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:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/ywydu3iczxn/WM6_PPC_HTC_Opera9-build_15954_WWE_QVGA.CAB

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.
