[HELP] How to set Opera Mini 5 beta as default browser - HTC Excalibur

Hi guys i'd like to know if there's a way to make Opera Mini ( NOT the Java version ) but the Cab [ it's named Opera Mini 5 beta v.5.03521] your default browser ?
I've found many ways to do it but its only with the jbed thing and that version kinda sucks versus the cab...I've found this :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER
"0"=Opera Browser
"1"="\Windows\OperaL.exe\"
but it still doesn't work any ideas ?
Here's the cab for those who want to try it but believe me its way better than the java version

Opera Mini 5 for Windows problems
I have not found a way to make Opera Mini the default browser. But a few questions for you about issues with Opera Mini 5 Windows Version on the HTC Excalibur:
1. Can't use D-Pad for page up/down scrolling. That is a great feature on Opera Mini 4.2.
2. Can't set the date shown at the bottom of the Opera screen.
3. The short-cuts that use the # key don't work.
Is that your experience too? Wonder if its the same with other Windows phones? It still is a "beta" version.

1. You can use it in the 5.03521 version aka "Opera Mini for Winmo" @ operamini.com
I've got the 3VO.3.50.033010 ROM it may help you..
2. Forget about it just : Settings > Fullscreen : no date more place for pages
3. Shortcut does work : you've just got to "double fn" + number
Since I got my Exc. i've been using it instead of the jbed version its faster, got bigger font and bug free.
Btw my deepest apologies its not a beta version

Opera Mini 5 for WM is grate browser it's really speedy but lots of bug

Opera Mini 5 for Windows problems
1. D-Pad. I was referring to being able to use the right/left d-pad to scroll up and down one page at a time. I am using version 5.03521 dated March 2010 with RickWatt WM6.1.
3. Shortcut # key: If what you mean by "double fn" + number is to press the # key twice, it does not work on my Excalibur. I have tried other key combinations with no luck. The shortcuts using the * key do work, however.
Also, the Opera site lists the Windows Mobile version of Opera Mini as "beta," and it shows up in my Start screen as "Opera Mini 5 beta."

If you know how to edit your registry, then my free "SkweezeIt" app will allow you to select the new Opera Mini WM Beta when you click on a link in an RSS or email message, and it will place the URL in the devices clipboard, then you can just "paste" it into the opera mini's URL box (by holding down the center OK button).

This is a known problem with Opera Mini 5 (still in beta) with other WM phones besides the Excalibur - check Opera Mini forums and you'll see. I have the same problem with my Excalibur running stock WM6 rom but others here on XDA run Opera Mini 5 just fine using modded WM roms. So until Opera provides a fix it looks like you'll have to flash your phone to get Opera Mini to work right.

Opera Mini 4.2 (multisigned) as default browser?

I'm using the NRG Rose ROM 1.6. Instead of using the option to install Opera via the option under My Tools\Extras I downloaded the 4.2 multisigned version from Opera's website. This permitted me the option to not have all the security warning show each time.
Now I'm wondering how I can make it the default browser? I tried using a cab file called "WM6 SD OperaDefault.cab" and "WM6 OeraMiniAsDefaultBrowser - WithoutSelectionDialog.cab", but they didn't seem to work, perhaps because they were designed to work with an earlier version of Opera.
Are there any other solutions? Perhaps a registry tweak that I could do manually or something like that?
Thank you,
Tim

I installed the JZSmartmort file and it successfully set Opera mini as the default when I click on links in my email, but.... it doesn't seem to be able to successfully put in the URL once it launches opera mini.
It launches opera mini, then it goes into where it should put the URL in, backspaces out the default www. that opera puts in. Then it fails to paste in the URL that I clicked on. It then returns to the Opera Mini screen and ends after clicking on the opera menu button. Any ideas?

Hi,
I tried the JZSmartmort opera launcher and the StartOperaMini: Mortscript by Badbob001. I haven't successfully gotten it to launch links from email or internet shortcuts into Opera Mini 4.2.
In one discussion point, sagementor states:
Originally Posted by sagementor View Post

But I haven't seen any sort of file that references those names. And in the startoperamini.mscr there is no reference to a version, just 4.x .
So at the moment, if I want to launch a link in a received email or associate a sliding panel shortcut with a URL, I have to use slow ol' PIE .
But on a different note, I love the Spb Backup software. I can now play around with this stuff and restore it to it's 'before' state if it really messes things up. I've already restored several times today.
Thank you,
Tim

"Size Small"="16"
Still the version i like, fast, clean and small
Have a nice weekend

But i like the Opera Mini more... (faster, smarter, feeds support with remote sync etc) this version is with bigger Font Size so it's running ok on a 800x400 screen.
So the Opera browser that comes preinstalled on the HD isn't Opera Mini? It's not Opera Mobile, right? I thought the HD utilizes a full HTML browser...

the opera 9.5 that comes with the hd is opera mobile, a standalone executable program, which is a full html browser. opera mini is a java applet that runs within a java environment, and used to have limitations. maybe newer versions of opera mini have more functionality??

Cool, works well thanks.
Very fast at loading pages, with nice sliding transitions. The rendering's less accurate compared to 'big' Opera though.
Pros / Cons
I use both the browsers, in my view Opera Mini is far superior though, but with faults. Opera Mobile which comes on the HD is good when it works and you have a fast connection (WiFI or strong HSdPA). I believe Opera Mini uses pre rendered pages from Opera so is very fast, yes the transitions are nice. It has speed-links like Opera on your PC and can handle pretty much all pages I've ever tried to load. Opera mobile sometimes messes up pages with forms, for example, using tfl.gov.uk is so fast on opera mini, nearly impossible on opera mobile. File downloads are fine in Opera Mini as it can access the file directories on the HD, the download manager is maybe not as good as on Opera Mobile though, stop-resume etc..
Opera mini doesn't have tabs though.. one page only, a couple of times it can hang, you need to mess around with it so it doesn't ask each time if it is allowed to access the data connection, leave it running in the background and it can struggle to find connection again without restarting Opera Mini. Also you have to load it through JAVA (from a list of other Java programs you might have on your HD, GMAIL etc..) unless anyone knows how to give it it's own direct shortcut?? Also it's not integrated with TF3D like opera mobile.
I use 4.2 direct from Opera, fine but yes the menus are small, but still quite easy to press. Sounds like there is a WVGA version now. Perhaps in the next version (4.3?) this will be the ultimate browser.
I'll carry on with both for now

Your comparing apples to oranges guy.
so it still doesn't work well with cistom sip. while the page is loading it does,t scroll and pan properly.
any build dump from devices?
wow, this version look REALLY awesome!! the speed is just phenomenal!
this is probably already known, but the deault windows mobile sip always popps up when editing texts, instead of the htc sip. can anything be done with this?
EDIT:
you said this version has no multilingual support. this is great for me (for compatibility purposes) and i might want to do that with other builds too. can you tell me how you removed that support? or is it just inside the build, and that's the way it came?
i have created a workaround for the default keyboard issue popping up.
what you need to do is just disable the "Keyboard" sip, and the opera wouldn't be able to use it anymore, thus not changing your selected sip.
note you wouldn't be able to use the "Keyboard" sip anymore, until you uninstall the workaround.
tested on touch pro only.
just install and SR after.
enjoy.

Hey guys,
I installed this beta and tried to use SSMaPa to replace the Opera icons and what-not on TouchFLO however it has back fired badly. My Opera now does not seem to load properly at all, can I unstall the Opera that comes pre-installed and replace it with the new Beta? Thanks in advance.
Any help on this?
Just install the new version
Ola,
Just install the new version ignore any error msg. Softreset en run Opera. If opera is allready there you got now 2 seperated versions
That's works for me.
And for you... Fingers-x
Let us know if it works or not.

Odd that now Opera (default) has taken over the Beta so I don't have the Beta at all. Can I remove Opera from the system and then use the Beta?
Windows Media plug-in?
With other versions of Opera I have been able to stream and listen to Windows Media content through embedded plug-ins on webpages. With this version the plug-in is replaced with the text "Plug-in content" and nothing happens.
Anyone got any clue as of how I might fix this?
Thanks
Hi,
Is there any trick for having the zoom wheel enabled on HTC Touch Pro / Raphael?
Thx.
I am also very interested in the flash plugin. In the original opera on the HD I could play flash contents as I had installed flashlite 3.1. However with this beta version I just get the placeholder "plugin content". If I go to "Settings / Advanced" the "Enable Plugins" box is checked.
Would really appreciate if anyone could come up with a workaround.

Opera Mobile 10: integration with Touch HD

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:
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.
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!
maTTeo
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

Guys,
Opera 10 final has an options whether to set O10 default or not in the end of .cab installation process. i had such question, so no any 3rd parti softs requiered!!!

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.

Opera Mini 5 - switching to alpha entry possible?

I have a Tmobile Dash/WM5 phone and I just downloaded Opera Mini 5 right to my phone from m.opera.com - it detected my phone as HTC Excalibur and offered 3 options - Opera Mini 5, Opera Mobile 10 touch phone and Opera Mobile 10 keypad.
I downloaded Opera Mini 5 since I heard it was really fast due to server side rendering. It installs and looks real nice - the one major problem I'm having is trying to enter URLs - the address bar only seems to be accepting numeric values when I enter any keys from the numeric keypad - alt does nothing, Q, A, & Z are ignored. IE, UCWEB and Skyfire work fine (although in Skyfire if I go to google.com and try to enter a search term I have the same problem, only numbers are accepted & no way to switch to alpha). Opera Mobile 10 doesn't seem to have this problem, although it's slower.
The only options I have in settings>advanced is protocol (socket or http) currently set to socket - changing has no effect.
Like I mentioned Skyfire does the same thing when I go to Google's search page yet it works perfectly when I open Skyfire's address bar and enter a URL.
Anyone else have this problem?
I had that problem with WM 6.5 3VO, you have to go into the address bar and select "Insert Symbol" then you'll be able to use your full QWERTY keyboard.
Thanks but there's no such option in Opera Mini 5. This is a known bug since people with other phone models (Dash 3G, iPAQ 514, Samsung i780, Samsung i607 Blackjack) are having the exact same problem on Opera Mini's forums with no fix currently available. Back to Skyfire I go.
try Opera Mini 4.2?
Meh - If it didn't need Java I would. That's the major reason for trying Opera Mini 5, it's a native wm app.

I just realized you're running a modified ROM on your phone - the "Insert Symbol" option isn't available on stock WM6.
People with Dash 3Gs have been saying they have this problem? I use the native version of Opera Mini 5 on my Dash 3G on a daily basis and it works fine for me in every regard. Just have to use the Alt key to get it to do numbers, just like I'd always have to.
I AM looking for a way to use this on an ORIGINAL Dash, though, if anyone has found a fix yet.
Just downloaded opera mini 5 beta and everything is working as it should...keys function as they do in any other app. Could the issue have been fixed? Oh, I'm running ookba's 6.5 on an Excalibur...
Opera Mini 5 date and # key issues
WM Opera Mini 5 - There does not appear to be any way to set the clock display and the # key does not bring up the shortcuts.
Any observations/suggestions?
