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?

Hi,
Could someone post the registry settings for IE as the default browser? I installed Opera and selected "yes" to make it my default browser. After uninstalling Opera, IE does not work.
I'm looking for these settings. Here's the registry editor I'm using: http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx

Is Opera availeble for the htc s620???
Dave,
This thread will likely help.

Cheers!
Never mind. I did a hard reset. See zip file for default registry settings and a text file noting Opera browser registry changes if you choose to use Opera as your default browser. Opera does not change the registry settings back when you uninstall the software.
The text file of reg changes came from a post on Opera's forum.

Opera mini as default browser
I love Opera mini as my main browser. Is there any way to make opera mini the default browser when a link is clicked in a email for example.

just do a google search for opera mini.
I cant find it in the menu settings for opera mini. Maybe the option you mentioned was for opera mobile. I was looking for the Java based Opera Mini version as this version translates the web pages into smaller packages to reduce the size of pages and also make browsing faster. Which brings me to another question. Is there a way to launch Java Programs instantly without always going through the Java Midlet application?

good call...I was looking at the other version. I don't think it can be done since it is inside the java app. would be nice though then I could put it in the start menu.

Yup, because I have just created that thead (the Smartphone General forum is brand new)
In the General forum, I've posted the original version some 5-6 months ago.
I enjoyed using Opera Mini for some pages that render bad with PIE. However, recently, I have been unable to load any pages with the T-Zones proxy. Anyone experiencing the same problems?
Opera Mini 4
So it just got released...It's pretty nice, it has a built in mouse that you operate with your cursor, looks nice..Check it out

Yeah, a must have on your device, the cursor reminds me of Microsoft's Deepfish and sphere!
I never got to try deepfish, when I got the link it wasn't working, but this is nice. Although I was on myspace trying to respond to a message and it just kind of stopped responding..but besides that it's great
Here is a link for anyone that cares to check it out:
http://www.operamini.com/
Personally speaking, Opera mini plays better than Deepfish. For example, I have never logged in this forum when I used Deepfish. On the other hand, Opera mini doen't have this problem.
Deepfish was 'alpha' -- Opera Mini is release -- not much room for comparison... Deepfish was great, in that you could view the whole page and zoom in on a particular area, I just installed Opera Mini 4, but it doesn't do that -- at least I can't find a setting to make it do that, just shows the page regular size...

So this is for us Tmobile TP2 users who have PIE as the default browser.
I've had a few people test this & it has worked for most. I've also tested the updated cab from a fresh hard reset & it works for everything.
Things it does:
Sets OM as Default Browser
Makes OM the default for the Internet tab on TF3D
Changes the startup page on the Internet tab to Google
Sets search function on Internet tab to go through Google
Opens bookmarks on Internet tab in OM
Opens all links in any app with OM
Increases max tab allowed in OM to 5
Changes "Minimum overview Zoom" in OM to 90
Difference between OD & ODBookmarks
The ODBookmarks cab is the same except it takes away the globe & 4 default bookmarks on the Internet tab & just has your OM bookmarks listed.
(See screenshot)
Uninstalling
If you don't like this, just unistall like any other program. Also, to change the Internet tab back to Tmobiles default, install the TmoDefault cab. You have to do this because if you unistall the first cab it'll delete the settings for the Internet tab. Also, for some reason, no matter what, after you set OM to default, if you revert back to default settings, OM will still open all links in other appls. Don't know why, but it will not revert back to IE. Sorry.
Warning
If you've changed any settings in the OM ini, this will overwrite those settings so you'll need to redo them.
***Not for us with WM6.5 &/or Manila 2.5+ since i dont run a newer rom & i've never messed with it.***
Thanks for any help. Please leave feedback.
If you tried the original version & your links don't open in Opera, install the new one & everything should work. Thanks for helping test the original.
i installed the 1st cab and it works...launches opera by default from the net tab
It fixed the internet tab for me but links in mail still opened in IE.

Ok, i have to figure out what else i changed on my phone but didn't put in the CAB that's makes the links work on mine.
Works for me; plus my email links still open in opera mobile
Cool. Glad to hear it's working.
@jim_0068 I'm thinking you're right (on tmonews) that the preference setting inside OM is needed as well, so I may include a modded ini file for that in the CAB. Its weird though because my ini file shows that particular setting as not being changed yet it all still works for me.
I just wish I could compare my registry to someone who hasn't tried this or anything else on it, just to double check all the registry settings i changed.
Anyway to get this going for the WM 6.5 Windows Default home screen? On the bottom it says favorites, but IE is showing and you could add favorites for IE. I wonder if this could be Opera and add bookmarks for Opera.
Works Great
Thanks for the cab

I don't know if it will work for 6.5 or not. If you try it, don't hold me liable if it messes anything up. If it does work though, let us know.
Also, glad to see it works. I guess now i'll edit the original post to show what all registry edits & what-not that it changes.
to the original poster: I just noticed that while this works perfectly it doesn't scale properly when you are using touchflo 3d in landscape. was curious if you could look into that? thanks for the wonderful cab though.
Thanks for the cab., it worked perfectly for me. One very minor issue however. I have both the stock version of Opera Mobile and Opera Mobile 9.7 (I believe) beta downloaded from OM's website. When launching the default browser, it open with the stock OM, but with links to emails, the beta version opens up. this isn't a problem for me honestly, I even actually prefer it since the beta version actually scales the page better, but I just thought you'd wanna note that. Awesome work on the cab. and thanks again.
Oh yeah, how do I use the favorites cab.? Is that what I use to change the favorites on the internet slide of the tflo3D?
Worked great
No problems. I still had to do the configuration in opera:config to set it as default so it would be used from email links. Other than that, it worked perfectly. Thank you for the easy tweak. Those of us who dont know what we are really doing in the registry appreciate it when someone takes a tweak like this and wraps it up for us with a nice ribbon.

do you mean when you're on the Internet tab & go to landscape mode? I just did that on mine (i have it where the globe is gone) & it just moves all my bookmarks to the right. It seems that TF3D has it so that The globe will always default to the left part of the screen in landscape. I don't know how to fix that

As for the 9.5 vs 9.7 issue, i think that has to do with if you set 9.7 as default in the settings (i think that's an option)
The favorites cab is the same as the first except for it takes out the globe & the 4 default bookmarks on the Internet tab & just lists all the Bookmarks you have set in OM

Yeah I'm going to edit the cab to include the ini for OM with the "Browser First Time Launch" set to 1
Yeah the main reason I made this is so that I don't have to redo the registry edits manually next time i hard reset. Glad i could help out others
updated OP to fix changes in cab file. Everything should work.

What I meant was to make a new .cab for the WM 6.5 non Manila OS to have Opera the default. You know how it says favorites on the last slide and it's for IE? I want it for Opera instead. You know what I'm talking about right?

I haven't messed with 6.5 at all so i don't know what slide you're talking about or anything. Do you have a screen shot?
As for setting Opera as the defaultl (w/o TF3D), if someone could provide the registry tweaks (which probably are the same) for 6.5, I can compile them all in to a cab for you.
Ok, ok.... I know there's a lot of these, but none of them really fit what I am asking, which is why I am asking here.
Long and short is this. I have Skyfire, Opera 9.5, and Opera 9.7b1. The TF3D Internet Tab defaults to Opera 9.5. Is there a way to change it to either Skyfire or Opera 9.7b1?
Thanks for the Help, and the understanding.

I'm not sure I seen it... I mean I seen a Registry Key that made it deafult, but from what I can gather, it's a general oveall default and not related to Touch Flow 3D v2.1. Nearly every browser, these days, has a option to make them default, and I can go that, easily... I am looking for a way to change it with in the TouchFlo inteface so that when I press teh Globe to get the Browser, it would be either Skyfire or Opera 9.7b1.
Unless I've missed something, which is possible, I don't think that is for me either. If I have missed something, I do apologize, please point me to the right post in that thread. Thanks.
I'm very interested to get this sorted too. Just downloaded skyfire;doesn't look as nice as opera, but who cares: it's waay faster
Who can help?
Again, another thread that is, as of yet, unresolved... Bump It up.

Changing the "Default Browser" is easy. All other programs will open the "Default Browser" no problem.
Changing which browser opens with the Manila "Launch Browser" tab is the question that has yet to be answered with a browser other than a newer version of Opera.
check out what I wrote at the end of the above mentioned thread....
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
