Does ANYONE know of a solution to sync up my Opera Mobile and Desktop Firefox favorites?
The ideal solution would be real time over the Net but if i have to settle for desktop sync then that's fine also.
I look forward to everyone's suggestions.
1) Export your Firefox bookmarks and import them into the desktop version of Opera. Exit Opera after importing.
2) Locate and copy the file opera6.adr from your profile folder (by default it's in %appdata%) to the folder where Opera is installed on the phone.
Of course this can't be considered syncing, but Opera Mobile doesn't have any sync option (yet). I recommend using Opera Mini along with Opera on the PC if syncing is a priority.

hi to everyone,
thanks to this forum i started to use opera 8.5 on my qtek 9000 but infortunately every time i receive an email with a link it launches ( as i click on the link) PIE. is there a registry hack to modify the default inetrnet browser or am i condamned to copy the link and paste it on opera tu use it?
thanks for your help.
I know this answer is not up to the level of this forum...but maybe it is better than no answer:
I have installed Netfront 3.3 ( i definitely believe it is superior to Opera) and it allows to select NF as the default browser.
I had installed Opera and deinstalled it later, so I cannot check if it offers such an option to select it as default.
Andy.
Answer
To set any browser as the default one
open a registry editor
point to HKCR
and the extensions that you want the new browser to open:
htmlfile
http
https
ftp
url
xml
go to shell\open\command\default
For opera9 modify into:
"OperaL.exe" %1
it should be the same for other browsers
What the f**k!!
This is a 2 years old thread!!

Opera 9.5 gives you the chance to set as the default borwser and works like a charm! I have not tested Netfront.

Thread may be 2 years old, but it's useful to me. I am trying to kludge together a way to have Opera open up when I click on a shortcut in the Favorites folder, which I have attached to the start menu. This will allow me to store/sync my favorites through my work desktop IE, since I'm not permitted to install Opera on it. (BTW I'm actually using a Titan, but I figure the reg hack should be the same. And I have a used Uni in the mail, so I sort of belong here!)
Under HKCR->urlfile->shell->open->command, I have this not including the quotes: "operaL.exe %1"
This triggers Opera when I click on sopmething in my Favs folder, but it fails saying that the local file is not available. Am I missing something, or is this not possible? I somehow have Opera set to open when I click a link in an email, so I should be able to copy the syntax of that reg entry, but not sure where to look for it.
TIA
What do I change it to if I want it to Pocket IE? When I open the "Video Sites" for Flash Video Bundle, I get Opera Mobile 9.5... I can't access the videos straight from there. Can someone help me out?

I have installed the IrisBrowser on the storage card, do I have to do anything different as just changing the registry does not seem to work ...
When I click a link in an HTML email in Pocket Outlook it opens in Pocket IE. However, Opera is set as my default browsewr within Opera itself.
Is there a reg hack to make these links open in Opera Mobile (8.60).
Thanks.
My WM6 version is the official HTC WWE version.

due to many problems with OPERA I want do change de default setting for internet from OPERA to IE. Does any guy knows how to do this on TP2 ???
Rather than mess with registry settings, why not just remove the Internet tab and add a link to IE in the start menu?
Also, Pocket IE is such a piece of crap. I think most would agree. What problems do you have with Opera that can be solved by using IE?

Most links dont open with Opera. IE will work fine - specially links from RSS Hub open with Opera and mostly dont work. So I copy the URL to IE and it will work fine ... (bad workaround)
I have Opera Mobile 9.7 and Opera Mini 5 installed, and I can't work out how to sync bookmarks on either of them. The instructions on the Opera site refer to sync options in both browsers which simply don't exist.
Does anyone know how on earth you can sync Opera Mobile/Mini bookmarks??
Not aware of a sync version for 9.7 Mobile other than using Opera Link on thier website. Mini should have it built into the settings.
The PC does have it though.
I've read the Opera Link page (and have a MyOpera account), but the instructions for syncing both Opera Mobile and OperaMini don't make any sense - i.e. they refer to "synchronise" options in both Opera Mobile and Opera Mini which don't actually exist.
???
Ok, here is what I know. I fell in love w/ Opera solely on the fact that you can sync bookmarks b/t however many PCs you log into. The promise of the same experience on the phone kind of falls short..
First off, in the regular mobile Opera, 9.X, even 10 beta and official, Opera Link has NEVER worked for me. Now, when I put Opera Mini on my shadow a while ago, I noticed that something created a folder in my bookmarks on my PC called 'Opera Mini' for some reason this folder is green, unlike the others. I have found that only the bookmarks inside this folder are what sink up and only in Opera Mini..hope this helps..
Thanks for your reply. I've noticed that I also have an "Opera Mini" folder in the Opera Link bookmarks page (but it isn't green). It contains a list of my bookmarks, but how can I get them to sync to Opera Mini 5 on my phone? ActiveSync doesn't sync them, and there's no Sync menu option in Opera Mini 5.
Considering this is such a big selling point for the Opera Browser family I'm surprised they've got it so badly wrong
itm, all I know is that when you go to settings in Mini 5, there is the link option, you just enter your log information and begins updating. I would let it hang in the browser for 3 mins, not letting ur phone sleep or shut the screen off. then to be safe, exit, soft reset, then check it out.
remember, the point of my reply was that all bookmarks you want on your phone must be in that Opera Mini folder on your PC and you must be properly logged into Opera Sync on the PC as well, just check everything, verify you got the green sync icon in the bottom left hand corner, maybe get Opera 10.50 (PC) to be safe..

I have Opera Mobile 10 Beta and the sync has worked fine with portable Opera (running off USB memory). All I remember doing is enabling Opera Link and the next time I opened Opera Mobile, the bookmarks synced. I don't believe I had to do anything on my mobile.
Just like the title says: I would like to set my wifes tp2 up to use opera 9.7 as the default browser. The snag i run into is setting it as the default on the internet tab on tf3d.
There are several ways to set the tf3d internet tab to use 9.5 and it handles it well: bookmarks and search from tf3d tab all are opera 9.5 intigrated. but as i said I would like to set hers to 9.7. Please please no comments on "just flash the rom". we dont want to go that route because after months of searching and experimenting with my own tp2, ever rom I have tried has either had a shlew of dibilitating bugs, or if they were perfectly operational they ate up 70% of the available ram after a few hours of use.
Yes I did search, and there doesnt seem to be any info on this. I even read through a lil over a hundred posts on the opera thread; nothing.
bizzump....
Not sure on 9.7, but when I installed 10, there was an option at the end of the install that asked if you wanted Opera to be the default browser. I said yes to that and everything is working fine.
I had tried a number of things prior to that to manually make the browser the default for everything, but nothing seemed to get it all. Maybe try re-installing Opera?
you should be able to its in the registry, you just need to put in the path to the .exe file for the opera u want as default.
Download latest Opera 9.7.35964 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5928300&postcount=1709
Install Caliban Opera Browser 9.70.35964.cab to the main memory, not storage card.
As with others here it did so automatically for me.
right I understand that it becomes the default. the problem is that I also want my bookmarks to continu to be added to the internet tab like I could with 9.5. when I tweaked 9.5 to be the default I was also able to tell tf3d that when I add a new bookmark, to display it on the internet tab. just installing 9.7 will use my previously existing bookmarks i set in 9.5 but will not allow me to create new ones that will transfer over to the internet tab.
Anyone?
For those of you who installed the 9.7 various cabs, how did you make your bookmarks appear in the internet tab?
Internet tab using this folder for the bookmarks: \windows\Opera9\opera6.adr
Opera 9.7 using different folder for the bookmarks: \windows\Opera9\profile\opera6.adr
Temp. solution:
Enable Opera 9.7 to using \windows\Opera9\profile\ folder
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Info]
"UseOperaBookmark"=dword:00000001
In Opera 9.7 edit/add new bookmarks then copy \windows\Opera9\profile\opera6.adr file to \windows\Opera9\ folder.
I made fix for Opera 9.7 bookmarks: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6099429
wow thank you. I will try this out this weekend and let you know . again thank you
