few questions.. installing opera mini, and xt9 - HTC Excalibur

installed the kavana revamped with opera. Found the install opera icon in the extras folder.
I open it, it asks if I want to "Intsall Opera". I click ok, and nothing happens. So I tried going to the opera site and installing it from there. It worked great. Fast, and really an impressive program.
Problem is that once I closed it down it was nowhere to be found.
I had tweaked things around quite a bit, and changed some stuff up trying to get used to the kavana.
So i went ahead and did a "master reset". Figured I'd start fresh (on the second day" and ask for a little help.
I found a few threads concerning making opera the default browser, but none on the install.
oh yeah. on a side note. how do I turn off the xt9 predictive text? I hate it. I'm kinda old fashoned, I type everything out, periods, comma's, etc. lol wtf

Opera Mini will be under Java or Jbed? can't mem what in the ROM.
Turn off predictive in an input boix FN+Space choose ABC

What I did for Opera Mini was create a shortcut on my internet panels using chome configurator, so all I got to do is click on it from the panel to open java/jbed and I launch it from there.

like the idea! much smoother than going all the way to the java/jbed! should be a little quicker too! now i just gotta play with the configurator and get a better feel for how it works.

I'll bung you a link for the start menu "basically .dll & shortcut" tom if can get online, maybe someone can beat me to it?
"Yeah 2 many clouds in the sky tonight for me crappy anwhere dongle"
Wow got online place the .dll in the Windows Directory, Place the shortcut in Windows Start Menu, soft-reset phone

I was Wondering... Is there anyway I can have opera mini as a shortcut in the start menu using WM6. If so, How?
Thank You

Make a shortcut the post above may work but will depend on the Java Jbed? in ROM.

how do you add icons to your today screen?

how woul di do that in wm6,
i would like to add buttons there that i use frequently, like phone, and tcpmp
.. file explorer.. and so on, how would i do that?
For example if u need to put on today screen any programm shortcut, go File explorer-My device-Program Files-Folder of desired programm-.exe of this programm-tap and hold-add on today's screen.
thanks for the reply!!
So i held it down on player.exe of tcpmp using resco file explorer the option it gave me was send to: today screen as plug in.
i choose that, and it's not there!
i'm running jw's wm6 rom.
thanks a lot though, for the help so far!

Well if its prompted you as a today plugin why dint you go to "Settings-Today-Items- and if its listed in the today plugins then tick the box next to it,and it will show on your screen as a pluggin item.I personally use wisbar desktop for that.

I attached a file which creates a kind off desktop like i have.
It also gives you the possibility to overclock your device. USE THIS FUNCTION WISELY. if you do not know how to use this search for: overclock wizard
this should be perfect, it adds icons AND overclocks?! i hope it's compatible with the universal.
thanks so much, you're all great!
i'll try this tonight and reply.
IT WORKS PERFECTLY!!!
it's awesome,
too add phone into the tray is to add windows/cprog.lnk
this makes it so much better for me, how cool.
thanks guys!
thanks tabasco!
argh!! phone troubles. after the install and a restart now my o2 won't get past the windows mobile welcome screen...
after a hard reset it's fine. this sucks though. cuase that program was awesome.
as awesome and easy as that program was it just wouldn't let me restart if i tried it would hang at the windows mobile screen.
soooo....
this program works but it's a lot more work.
the tray launch program work, but it's so much work!
you have to manually type in the locations of the exes..
"windows/cprog.exe"
for the phone.
and so on.
but at least it work for me on my mobile 6!
i have to open tray launch again if i restart. that sucks.

Can I ask you a favor? Can you please copy and post the .exe file for PHM Tray Launch from the programs folder? I find it too much if I install everything in the CAB file. Too much stuff I don't need. Thanks in advance.
OR would someone be so kind enouigh to post the PHM Tray Launch .exe file?

here's the link to the thread where i found tray launch separate, it works great, but that first program i used int his thread was so much better, becuase the icons looks smooth when you added them, with tray launch they're really blocky

Thanks for this information. So which application do you use creates a better icon?
this program, once installed can add icons to the tray in the bottom very easily, howver, it causes my exec not to reboot properly.
you may have a different result
i had to do a hard reset.
BatteryStatus on Jwright's latest WM6 causes crashes for me too... pity, as it'sa nice app.

Opera Mobile 8.65 on WM6.1?

So, I have the Kavana/Rickys v23 of WM 6.1.
I tried to install/use Opera mobile 8.65 on it, but none of the buttons/inputs functioned properly.
I know it has Opera Mini pre-installed, but it doesn't even work properly and I really prefer to use Opera Mobile as I hate IE.
Anyone else had this problem? Know a way to make it work properly?
Thanks!

Do you have the correct keymap when you write a text?
Why doesn't Mini work?
I apparently don't have the proper keymap, even for Opera Mini. When I try to type letters, all I get are symbols, etc.
How can I correct the keymap?

Ok, well for whatever reason, I upgraded to the latest Opera Mini, and it's working now. Also tried re-installing Opera Mobile and it's working as well. *shrug*. Probably user error =)

Hey Stylez, maybe you can help me out on this....running NRG's new ROM and just started running Opera Mini 4.1 on it....made sure to download the correct version for the phone but it's not reading the keypad correctly...it's reading it as if this is a standard phone keypad (IE 6=mno). I know there was a fix for this way back when but I'm struggling trying to find it with it by searching.
keymap works correctly for everything else on phone. Any ideas?

For anyone that runs into this same issue. Go to settings and disable the check box for auto-complete address input. For some reason, it limits your address input to only using the numerical keypad for numbers. Uncheck it and your address input will function with full use of the dash keyboard. Go figure.
This is an old problem as far as I know. I remember having to do that everytime I installed Opera Mini, even on Kavana's old ROM...
Ok, have one other hopefully quick question.
I upgraded to opera mini 4.1, but when I press the t-zones button it still points to the old version 4.
How can I change where the t-zones button points to, so it opens the new version of Opera Mini.
opera mini
I'm having a problem with opera mini. I'm running rickwatts v24 no opera. After changing cprs, dll, and ttfs, decided to try opera mini 'cause I hear alot of people love it and prefer it over anything else.
I downloaded 4.1 from their website and installed it, now here's the problem.
My custom font is being used by the opera mini displaying everything on it, making it unreadable. I tried using the original cpr but even after the homescreen goes back to original, the opera mini still comes up with the altered font. I uninstalled it ,and reinstalled it and no difference.

WM 6.5 - Titanium Scrolling menu in today - Customize, How?

Hi!
I really like this new today design with titanium, hope im not alone with this
I would like to do some changes. I already know how i can change the order of the menu names, but i still don't know how can i change the links.
For example:
There is Favourites. If you click on it you can scroll right,left. There are your fav. webpages and the browser: Internet Explorer.
I hate IE, i prefer Opera.
How can i change it to Opera?
Please do not tell me "click on start and there will be the bulit in opera" because i know that i would like to change IE to opera in the new wm6.5 Today screen.
Thank you in advance!
I want it too,anyone ? please
thanks
Good to know, im not alone
wanna know too, so far i have only found CHome configurator for windows smartphone. But it's not completely compatible. Also in the registry editor i found some keys regarding to the CHome (Titanium) settings and items present.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome
HKLM\Security\Microsoft\CHome
but i think editing the .cpr file is also needed for everything to work....
for myself i haven't got it working the way i want it, but may b we can make this a central thread if anyone finds out how to do it.... please put a tutorial in here........
here are some links on here i found some info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501300
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393104 (CHome configurator)
just found this: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=63086
But oh how wonderfull it would be to have a application for this.................. sigh
Thx for your links!
Well, it seems it's difficult for a newbie like me, hope a clever guy will develope an easier app for this all
Im looking into this now, I will post here if I can do it.
Thank you loomx

TouchFlo3D2 Start Menu

Hi guys. Just switched from Kaiser to Rhodium and so far love it...
However, I'm already starting to get a bit annoyed by the Start Menu replacement that comes with TF3D2.
Is there an app or a reg-hack that i can run to go back to good ol' 6.1 Start Menu?
Only reason I ask is because for some reason my TomTom install hasn't put an entry in the all programs list so to launch it I have to go Start, All Programs, File Explorer, My Device, Navigator, TomTom...which I'm sure you will agree is somewhat cumbersome.
Or if anyone has some magical way to add folders/shortcuts into the TF3D2 menus that would also work fine for me!
OK figured out how to create a shortcut, and subsequently add it to the quick launcher.
Still a bit confused as to why stuff that should be (and is) in folders (i.e. S2U2) is shown as a list.
For that reason, can I enable folder view, or can I disable the task launcher altogether and go back to good old windows mobile start menu?
I've tried the TF3D2 tweak app and that doesn't seem to do anything at all!
Why not try the solution here. Hope that helps,
Dave
Many thanks!
I thought we can just turn it off from the Today settings screen? (Just untick TouchFlo3D from it)
you can, but that turns off the whole of touchflo3d rather than just the start menu/program manager

Use Explorer and navigate to your Windows\StartMenu\Programs\ folder and paste shortcuts to your applications.
They should appear in the Programs list now.
Hope this helped you
the answer is in the tweaks thread.

Zoom Bar Scrolling--Tweak--

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a ROM out there that offers a tweak that allows the Zoom bar to be used to scroll thru lists like the old TP1. So it will save time with File explore and other apps. Thanks, and i am sorry if i posted this in the wrong place.
Also if there is anyother tweaks for the Zoom bar

Which rom are you using... if the chef is using a smarttouch.dll from another phone ext like leo it will not work... if you open opera or IE it should allow you to zoom in using the phone zoom bar.. the registry containes allot of entries so it should support allot of different applications....
edit: may need a reboot to take effect.

im using fusion rom v5.1 and zoom already works on opera,
will it work on scrolling through contacts on beejive im ?
Ive just started using this tweak and its pretty nice, but im wondering if its possible to reverse the setting. I would rather sliding to the right mean scrolling upward (up dpad) than what it is now. Also take into account that when i expose the keyboard and attempt to to slide to scroll up, i actually have to slide down to scroll up!
can u guys can make 2 work with iris browser that would by nice
Am I missing something, I installed the cab and restarted the phone. Nothing. Soft reset, still nothing. Do I then have to enable something? Using a TP2 on Verizon. Is this GSM only?
Thanks
Really the only app I'd need for this is MICROSOFT READER so I can slide right to turn a page and slide left to go back.
I see the reg hacks, but am unsure what to use for ClassName for Reader..
can you help?
Thanks,
Rick
works great
on my tmobile tp2 flashed to 6.5 European rom...
Works somewhat on stock sprint rom only a few apps actually work but hey I like thanks
Any chance it works on Topaz?
