Hi,
Has anyone else found that when downloading files (either from emails or images from web pages for example) with Opera Mini 4 that it opens up Pocket Internet Explorer to deal with the download?
I have set-up the tweak to allow links to be opened in Opera Mini, but it still passes downloads to PIE. I'd rather wave goodbye to PIE altogether, but can't at the moment because of this.
Does Opera Mini not have this capability or is there a way of changing the programme defaults to make it download attachments etc?
Thanks,
Steve
I think it's probably intentional. Java midlet apps seem to work in a bubble of sorts. I'm guessing the only way Opera Mini can touch the system data beyond the space allocated in the midlet is to pass the information to an external source (here, IE).
Apologies for starting another thread on this browser.
I had installed a version of Opera Mobile which I liked very much however, there was no option for me to tell it that I wanted PIE to be the default browser. The reason I need PIE to be the default browser is that I have a number of programmes the use PIE that screw up with Opera.
I have had a good look around on here and it would seem that there are several versions, it got me all a bit lost as I don't want to keep installing and uninstalling.
Plus, I'm not sure which is best Mini or Mobile? Finally, how do I reset the file associations for web files eg. *.xml to be associated with PIE?
Any help would be mucho appreciated.
Anyone? Mini or Mobile?
For Full Browsing experience: Mobile
For limited bandwidth (or expensive data plan): Mini.
I don't quite care which version of Mobile, as I trust the chef' of my ROM cooked the most useful (and stable) one.
Thanks for the info. Have downloaded the latest Mobile version from Opera's website, all seems ok so far....
It is a bit un-intuitive as far as what you must do to get .XML/.HTML/Help files to open correctly again - here is the process:
I use the Total Commander File Explorer, which upon opening the context menu of a file and selecting properties, will allow you to select a program association for that file type. I'm sure it can be done in other programs as well, but the bottom line is that you want to change the program to:
iexplore.exe
And set the following as parameters:
file:%1
and (this being the part that am somewhat uncertain as to why it is necessary... but it IS) set the icon file to:
browsres.dll
with the Icon Index set to:
-6703
That should do it.

I tried this patch to make Opera the default browser with softreset aftewards
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418915
Didn't work. URL shortcuts still starts in IE.
I also tried using Resco Explorer to set .URL files to always open with Opera9 or OperaL. So now it does open Opera when ever I click on a URL link but it just displays the file patch in Opera URL. It doesn't open the actual site.
Already searched through this forum for an hour but no luck.
I don't use TouchFLO. I just want to put links to certain websites on my start menu but so would open with Opera and not IE.
Any help is apprecaited
com'on guys.
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,

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.

Ipad mode is the only one that worked for me.

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

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!

It worked for me. Even in mobile mode. Though the browser slowed down a bit its cool

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
For those who use scripts in browsers this will be very useful
1- Install Opera Mobile Addons Capabilities
2- Open opera mobile and type opera:config in address bar
3- The second line will say "find", click in there and type User JavaScript
4- Check User JavaScript and User JavaScript on HTTPS
5- In User JavaScript File, type the script folder path (ex. /sdcard/download/)
6- Click on save and restart the opera browser, when you open again it will load all script in the path you define
I have tested many script from here many works like a charm
thank to Nikishek who show me how to make Greasemonkey scripts works in android
Try the script is attached, is for auto redirect ads page like A d F . l y
Reserved
noads.user.js
This script will bypass the ads count down and redirect you to the file download link in page like A d F . l y
OpenOnlinePDFByGDocs.user.js
This script will open online PDF,DOC,DOCX,XLS,PPT,RTF,ODT,ODS,ODP,CSV etc. files using Google Docs & Zoho Viewer.
Opera Mobile Addons Capabilities
Opera Mobile version with Addons Capabilities, just go to addons.opera.com and downlads which you prefer
Wow these look extremely useful, and chance they work on Opera Mini?
At first I thought someone found a way to use greasemonkey scripts on stock browser or Dolphin/Boat/similar. Got a little dissapointed that it's only for Opera Mobile. Nice tutorial though, I'm sure it'll be useful to many (and to me possibly, if I ever decide to make a switch).
its for Opera Mobile, not Mini...
