Hi Guys,
I have a Touch Pro 2 (unlocked and unbranded in UK) which comes with the Opera browser as the default TouchFlo 3D offering.
I'm unsure which version of Opera Mobile this is but it doesn't have the capability of flash like some of the cabs I've seen floating around.
I've tried the 3.1 cab from this forum but this does nothing for Opera for me, Skyfire is an option but tbh looks horrid on the TP2 screen and even the flash 7 cab upgrade for the default IE doesn't seem to work.
Does anybody have any input on how i can get flash working on the default Opera Mobile browser?
(as a side note, I'm a new Windows Mobile user, any absolutely recommended software I should be installing onto my TP2 to get the most of it?)
I've been searching for the last few hours online and it does seem like nobody gives a damn about flash ont he Touch Pro 2, surely that can't be so?
Either its so easy eveybody just assumes we know the trick or it's impossible and common knowledge...
Hey i installed the BETA 9.7? last night and some flash works on that, just not others, apparently something to do with activex being disabled or something, im unsure.
I'd love to get flash working on opera, webpages look awesome on it. I'm not a fan at all of skyfire.
really? and the flash worked?
Please can you link me to the cab you used?
Sorry i didn't explain my post very well. BBC iPlayer worked but a few others didn't.
I just got the BETA from here:
http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/
wow you're right, i had tested before but didn't get good results.
Tries again and youtube worked etc. I think it's a little hit and miss atm.
I also find flash doesn't work if you have turbo mode on and could not get opera widget manager to even install.
Don't suppose you have any idea if it's possible to get the zoom slider to work in the beta?
Many thanks for replying to me.

Anyone try it? I just ran across this add-on, and I'd really like to use it. However, I dont see that it says its for WM6 at all, and I wanted to know if anyone has it installed without any problems?
http://www.reensoft.com/PIEPlus/
No problem at all. I found that really useful. Give it a try.
I use it with no problems as well.
Works great!
opera 8.65 is much better.
Go for opera it is so much better.
You guys really like Opera?, the version ripped from a ROM, that doesn't require a key, can be found at the link in my siggy, I made it uninstallable.
I use PIEPlus, and I used to have Opera on here, I kinda found Opera to be a bit slower than PIE, and just kinda clunky feeling, but there were some sites that I need Opera on, but that's very rare.
All browsers I've tried are crap. Typing web addresses on any PDAs is tedious, so you would think that browsers would make Favorites easy to get to - not 3-4 taps!
PIEPlus is the only way to get easy Favorite access but you shouldn't have to install another app.
What's the logic????????
Works om wm6, and like it use to have opera but cant find a keygen for it
and i didnt like swapping the dll option sooo ya works well
Wondering if anyone has been able to install and successfully operate opera mini. This is one of my favorite browsers. When I installed the cab file it didnt load. I then went to the site and tried to download it and it would not open. If anyone has been able to do this or if you are able to find a solution I would be very grateful if you posted a working cab of the browser here in this thread. Thanks in advance!
Yes. it's my browser of choice, although the Jblend java manager sucks. hold on while i find the cab for you
*edit*
download the Opera Mini - large fonts (VGA) cab and put on your phone. You don't need the opera mini tweaks.
This will install Jbed java manager & install Opera Mini for you.

Thanks for the quick response. I went to the link and attempted downloading the cab. The cab file says its 2.90mb but for some reason my tp2 is only dling 1.37mb. So the cab is not working. Anyway you can post the cab file here so I can download it direct? I need another source cause that site isnt cooperating with my phone.
Try Opera Mobile Beta 9.7. It has Turbo. The thing is FAST!!!
I have Opera Mobile. I would like Opera Mini. I just cant seem to download the entire cab from that site
unfortunately the cab is too big to upload. download it from that thread on to your computer & then move it to your phone
wow that sucks. i am going to try downloading it with my Kaiser then. My computer is currently down and awaiting repair so I am screwed for the moment. I cant even flash a new rom :-(

that's why i went with Mini, since the scroll bar doesn't work. Plus i love the syncing bookmarks feature.
I just gave 9.7 beta a try and to be honest I didn' notice a speed boost over the Opera browser that already comes packaged with the tp2. Even with turbo on i noticed nothing. Also its a very glitchy beta version. I miss mini :-( I will probably try the 9.7 once its finished but I still believe mini is the fastest.

I agree, the one that is installed is perfectly fine and you dont have to worry about all these bugs
Just wanted to thank you again for posting the cab. I was finally able to download it using internet exploer and its working great. Just my 2 cents, 3g plus opera mini equals fastest mobile internet experience ever only to be rivaled by wifi which is not so mobile.
You're welcome. I hear ya buddy, I like Opera Mini more than any of the other mobile browsers except Safari. I still use it even though I have full 3G & could Opera Mobile, but Mobile just sucks, right along with IE.

What are the trade-offs between using Jblend vs. Jbed?
It's been a while since I've used Jbed. I remember it had a background mode, which Jblend still doesn't have. And I'm not crazy about how Jblend throws a wobbly when I change screen orientation.
But, beyond that I don't know how the Jblend version on the TP2 compares with the current Jbed. I haven't found any good comparisons that were less than a year or two old. Even the MIDlet Bible is out of date now.
I don't have a particular attachment to Jblend, but saying it "sucks" isn't a real compelling argument against it. Are there any real performance comparisons you're aware of between Jblend and other JVMs?
I base my statement off the fact that if you open/close the keyboard, the whole thing crashes/resets/whatever... That right there was the deal breaker.

I use mini instead of 9.7b w/ turbo.
Why:
Mini is an order of magnitude faster in real life.
9.7b is still buggy as hell, often crashing.
Scrolling on 9.7b is painfully slow and redraws take a long time compared to Mini Opera.
Granted, one must install the above linked JBED+signed Opera Mini+associated quick link to get anywhere near usable installation of Opera Mini, and even after that one has to tweak the font size.
But once this is done, there's no contenst - at least for me. Mini Opera is waaaay faster than Opera 9.7b with turbo enabled.
Faster is not always better
both mini and mobile are great versions of the browser
what I like more from mobile is that is more complete more similar to a laptop browser, yes mini is faster but I still prefer opera mobile!
I have plenty of free memory and RAM to run it smoothly
And let´s wait to have the final stable release! that would be great!
just my opinion,
Mini is not just a little bit faster, its a lot faster. At least for me it is. Sure Mobile has more of a desktop look and feel and offers a more complete webpage experience. Thing is I dont need all the fancy flash animations and things of that nature when I am just trying to quickly check a website like this forum. I have both mini and mobile in case I have a problem with a certain site and even mobile gave me problems which made me resort to IE just to download a cab file.
I do have one problem though. Anyway to make the images larger on mini? I dled the hi res version as suggested and now all pics and certain buttons are very tiny. I tried settings and changed the image quality but this did nothing for the image size. Any solution?

Yeah, that's definitely a nuisance, but so far it hasn't been a deal breaker for me. I use TouchPal as an on-screen keyboard most of the time, although I wouldn't give up the TP2 keyboard...when I feel the need for it, it's great. I still don't know if I'd label Jblend with "sucks", since I don't know how its performance compares overall, but if I changed orientations a lot when browsing and had to keep re-running Opera Mini, I'd be switching JVMs too!
So, as everyone can agree on, the IE browser sucks on the tilt.
Has anyone tried/is it possible to install an older version of IE (the one's from WM6.1?)?
Anyone have a CAB file we can try?
I used to use PIEPLUS on Internet Explorer browser awhile back.. that fit everything on the screen.
Probably wont need it with the 800x400 resolution but just because the screen grew, does not mean that they should be enlarging fonts or fitting the entire page on the damn window and scrolling like mad!
Try Opera Mobile 10 beta 2
Is amazing, fast smooth!!

IE? Your device comes with Opera Mobile 9.5 which is superior in every way possible.
And yeah, do check out Opera Mobile 10 beta...
Hmm I'm not fond of any of the OPERA browsers..
Found my answer and solved my own dilema..
You can install Pocket IE that came with WM6.1 on the Rhodium here
(scroll down the thread a bit)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365743
Gives you back the same look/feel (and I dunno, possibly FASTER BROWSING?) as WM6 without all this crud thats on the STOCK ROM.
Will require a reset but installs fine on my device. CAB file so I should theoretically be able to remove/uninstall if I don't like..

Sorry for quoting myself, but how is that you not found
well, first off.. it's BETA.
Secondly, I never really liked the interface of the Opera browsers .. whether standard or the Mobile ver.
Oftentimes, you'd have to tweak the hell out of the registry to get small sized fonts.. Else, everything is so big.
I managed to get IE6 on my TILT 2 --the same browser I am/was familiar with on WM6.
Without all the skin/fluff, the browser pulls up very quick .. unlike the stock one that comes with the ROM. With the 800x400 resolution and the small font size on IE, I can fit everything on the page.
Im loving it now. IE and webpages comes up waay faster.
With the stock IE and stock Opera Browser, pulling up the homepage took ..oh.. maybe like 45 seconds.
With IE (and I changed the homepage to Google), it takes a good 2-3 seconds.

You're definitely doing something wrong if the old IE is faster than the new IE or any version of Opera 9 and up.
hello, i now i'm not a genius but i can take direction or instrucctions..i tried to download your jzsmartmort application but i guess my phone couldn't support it or it was me who didn't know how to installed it..anyways i did have problems with the original ie icon it said that an error or could not run the mortscript ..but i finally uninstalled the program..ok, the thing is that i defenetly would like to see if you mr jzsmartmort can provide me with a program other than my original ie on the phone that i can use..i already have syfire but is too slow..i tried opera mini but it doesn't let me installe the program..like i said i'm not an expert but i can defenetly follow instrucctions on how to download applications or other programs that could make my phone a better phone or a phone that has a lot of programs i can use..thanks a lot and in hopes to receive a good response..
well....
well, i use multiple browsers for different reasons. i rarely use IE, skyfire is good for full sites and flash and, I use opera mini for most of my searches and overall browsing. im tinkering with a few others. They just came out with a smartphone friendly version of the full opera browser v10 beta 3. Id try that but it is kind of slow as well. In regards to opera mini, you do have java installed on your phone right?
btw, smartmort doesnt install more browsers. cool stuff though once you figure it out lol

Hi all,
I want to visit a site that is written in flash, but I haven't succeeded displaying it. I tried with the default opera browser of the latest ROM, with IE, and with opera 10 I installed from the opera site. I enabled the plugins in the options, but again nothing.
Any ideas?
Skyfire browser supports flash. I've never used it, but have an older copy. PM me if you can't find a current one.
Pls search....
Skyfire...
IE on WM6.5 (T-Mobile version) supports an older version of flash. I was able to get Last.FM and YouTube working (but not hulu, and YouTube native app is much better anyways).
you can get skyfire from http://get.skyfire.com
i dont like skyfire. flash actually will work with the ie from 6.5 (sorta), and close to all versions of opera cept that its buggy with 10. and dont expect great playback quality with any on a mobile device. to enable it in opera there i used to use this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544770) but it seems to work fine for me using this opera (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5902175&postcount=1669) on the stock 2.07 rom.
skyfire is your best bet. the latest release is wvga compatible too.
not bad

What ever version of opera comes in the stock Tilt 2 6.5 ROM doesn't support flash. IE has never supported flash by default. I had to install "Flash Player 7 Mobile" to get it to work. I still use Skyfire though. The new version has it's issues on the tilt 2 that I've found (distorted audio, browsing issues, etc), but hopefully it's just my device.

I didn't see anyone say that skyfire dropped windows mobile support, so its a wasted download, it was a few weeks ago... but its latest version was very awsome... makes me very sad to see it go. To my awareness there is no program that can stabally run web 2.0 type sites of any kind flash or other But other mobile OS's arn't much further

uZard supports flash. It's pretty slow compared to Skyfire, though.
