So this site provided a cab (tailored to the Topaz) that I found in a thread search here. It's great when I first start up the phone as it disables Push and doesn't load the HTC Opera browser into memory at startup (saving 10% memory utilization). However, when I do open Opera and close it, it then caches Opera into memory. This also makes Opera open up a new tab any time I open a browser window. Is there any way to keep Opera from staying in memory??? I'm willing to wait the extra 5-10 seconds for my browser to startup WHEN I want it and not to cache my previously visited tabs.
I'd switch to Internet Explorer, but I don't like it's layout and it doesn't have the quick search bar (or any easy search utility) at the top.
Looking further, supposedly in Opera 9.5 the Reg Key /HLM/Software/Opera/Preload : RealExit = 1 is supposed to make Opera close. However, mine was already set via the above posted cab. After the soft reset, my opera browser still doesn't close when I request it to and is stored in memory...
Sorry.. In the sticky above to solve issue. Didn't realize HTC threw in their own stuff to keep it up...

When I go to "bookmarks" on the Internet tab, I only see about half of my Opera bookmarks / folders. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a fix?
there is a limit to the amount of bookmarks that can be shown on the internet tab (I think the limit is 5). So if your bookmarks exceed that number, only the first 5 are shown on the internet tab. Maybe there is a registry key that can change that.
I think the original poster is referring to the screen when you press the left soft-key "Bookmarks" on the Internet Tab. I experience the same problem. Unfortunately, my only work-around is to simply not access that screen.
OK, sorry for my mistake. If that what he is referring to, thenits important to know which version of opera he/she uses. With opera 9.5 on my TP2, I do not have that problem.
It is Opera 9.5 ... the version that comes pre-installed on the Sprint Touch Pro2. However, my bookmarks were copied over to the device from another phone that was running Opera 9.7 (I copied them over by moving the opera6.adr file from the old device to the new one), which may be the source of the problem. They do show up fine within Opera though ...

I once thought that was my problem as well when I copied the opera6 file over from my Diamond. But it's not. I created the bookmarks manually with my TP2 and it worked fine for a while. But after a couple days, they started disappearing again. I somehow think it's related to the little image icon that Opera saves for each bookmark (eg, the "Y!" icon for a Yahoo bookmark).
Did anyone find a solution for this?
I recently upgraded from Opera 9.5 to 9.7. I chose to install 9.7 to the storage card, but it seems to have ignored my request and installed to the windows directory where 9.5 was.
I know when I got my phone if I clicked on a youtube video link it automatically opened it in HTC Streaming Media. Now when I click a youtube link it opens the youtube mobile application, but does not play the media, it just opens the app and nothing more.
The next issue is that SPB Shell has a internet favorites shortcut that looks like a star. When you click it, it shows you a quick list of your shortcuts / bookmarks. The problem is it's showing me the list of bookmarks from 9.5 and now 9.7 has replaced 9.5 it has it's own bookmark file somewhere. Does anyone know where SPB is pulling this from? Can I update the registry somewhere to point it to the new bookmark file?
And lastly, I noticed that Opera 9.7 and Opera 10 beta2 both use almost 30 megs of RAM. Task manager shows only 1 meg in use by the application, however free/available memory drops by almost 30 megs.
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Eric
i did a hard reset to compare some things. on stock opera youtube links are rtsp://......3gp links.
after installing 9.7 the video links on youtube look like this:
vnd.youtube:UjrzG4qluH8?vndapp=youtube_mobile&vndclient=mv-google&vndel=watch&vndxl=ClickLink
anyone know what this means?
why arent the links rtsp after updating opera?
I'm a little confused how the client is influencing the links coming from youtube. Does youtube present different html for each mobile client?

Hope it helps,
I tried all the "red" ones from the thread mentioned in your Sig.
Okay so I downloaded Opera 10 for windows mobile phone. Save the .cab file to my memory card. Ran the .cab file and saved the program to my phone (Tilt2). I was giving the choice to set it as my default browser and I clicked yes. After it downloaded I was asked if I wanted to open Opera, I said no because I like to do a soft reset after I download and install programs. So after my phone came back up I went to my internet tab and brought up my NEW BROWSER. Things was looking great but I noticed the zoom feature on my Tilt didn't work with my new browser and noticed that when I tapped the menu button nothing happened. Well the screen kinda greys a bit like it's thinking but nothing happens. I was disappointed, the website had me excited to download Opera 10 for mobile. I removed the program from my phone using the remove program program. Now here is my problem:
1. IE has become my default browser
2. How do I get Opera 9 back as my default browser?
I went into "windows" and found some many Opera icons that I don't know which one was which. I do think I found the right icon, I believe it is the one that has the Opera icon and next to it, it says "Opera 9". I clicked on it and it took me to my home page that I have/had saved so I know that is the right icon. I just need to know how to set it BACK as my default browser.
Can someone please help me out? I'm so
UPDATE: The icon is not Opera 9, it's the Opera icon and next to it, it says Opera Browser. Hope this helps someone out that can help

It would have been easier to answer the question and then also give the link for further information. I mean you took the time and all to respond; how hard would it have been to say "No currently there is no way to enable the zoom bar, but this thread is worth watching regarding that and many other pieces of information" Instead of a blanket "look at this thread with one bazillion posts and maybe you will find your answer before a new version of opera is released"?
Dear all,
Opera Mobile 10 is great. It's fast, smooth, and with plenty of useful functions. Finally we have a browser that compares to the iPhone's safari.
Unfortunately, if you install Opera Mobile 10 on your Touch HD, you lose some of the features of the pre-installed Opera 9. Here is a list:
Vibration when clicking a link
Opera 9 makes a short vibration when I hyperlink is tapped. Opera 10 misses this feature.
Solution:
None at the moment.
Special URL keyboard
In Opera 9, a special keyboard appeared when typing a URL in the URL bar: it contained a ".com" handy key, as well as other useful symbols. In Opera 10, the standard keyboard appears when typing URLs.
Solution:
None at the moment.
Touch HD arrow as back button
In Opera 9, the "left arrow" button of the Touch HD worked as back button in the browser. In Opera 10, this button simply minimizes Opera.
Solution:
None at the moment.
Internet tab push pages open Opera 9
In Manila/Sense internet tab, when clicking on a push page, Opera 9 is opened.
Solution:
Flash new ROM
Flashing a new ROM with Opera 10 pre-installed solves this problem. I am looking for something less "extreme", though, like a registry edit or cab file.
SSMaHo
Possible to use SSMaHo to redirect links in Manila. See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493810
and post #3. Not tested yet. Thanks to Koffein Schluck.
Internet tab push pages pick bookmarks from Opera 9
In Manila/Sense internet tab, when adding a push page, it is possible to pick it from the bookmarks. Unfortunately, the bookmarks are those of the default Opera 9.
Solution:
Flash new ROM
Flashing a new ROM with Opera 10 pre-installed solves this problem. I am looking for something less "extreme", though, like a registry edit or cab file.
Opera 9 cannot be uninstalled
Solution:

I started this thread hoping to collect solutions and workarounds for all these issues, hoping to make Opera Mobile 10 perfectly integrated with Touch HD and Manila/Sense. Please help me! Reply to this message either proposing valid solutions or highlighting other missing features that I did not discover.
Hope to fill out this list with solutions soon!

a simple solution for 4,5 and 6 would be flashing a rom that has opera 10 installed by default
Solution for point 4:
There is a software called SSMaPa, you can RElink the shortcuts in Manila! Use the forim search to get it! Its free and not so difficult
I dunno if this is relevant or not, but the only thing stopping me from moving over to opera 10 is the lack of any decent zoom function. anyone know how to enable the zoomslider? or anything that allows you to zoom properly again? atm, i have to go to settings and adjust the zoom level from there, which is hardly intuitive

Thanks for your answer. Yes, you are certainly right. I'll write this in the post.
On the other hand, I also would like a less "extreme solution". I have a ROM I am quite happy with ([ROM][WWE][26.02.2010] Miri WM 6.5 21893 :: V 38.0 [DISCONTINUED]), because it's fast, stable, and it has got what I needed. Plus, I don't want to flash a new ROM and hence lose all my data and configurations. Also, I think that many people don't really want take the time and effort to flash other roms. Hence I this post.
Cheers

Same for me. Opera 10 is fine, fast but the zoom doesn't work like it should be (why it is now based on the page width???). Therefore it is not usable for me.
My solutions:
1. Install Touchresponse, great open source app, works in background, vibrates when you touch the screen.
2. Install Fingerkeyboard, has customizable buttons for .com, .org, .net, etc.
4. Remove internet tab from manila, put Opera 10 icon in programs tab - no flashing, installing or unistalling required.
Those work well for me.
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
