Opera Mini and video drivers

[sonus]

Ok, so I just got my Touch Cruise yesterday, and it is awesome, I absolutely love the form factor. HOWEVER, what's up with Opera Mini scrolling and zooming in/out slugishly???? On my 200mhz TIOMAP smartphone, Opera Mini works like a champ, and is way faster than any browser out there (yes way faster than IPhone's safari too). On the Touch Cruise, Opera Mini bogs and is choppy.

I know about the driver issue..but c'mon! Opera Mini is designed for low end phones, why is it choppy on my Touch Cruise? And more importantly, does anyone have a fix? Or is anyone using a ROM that doesn't have this issue?

Opera MINI is desgined for that, not the embedded Opera... Also, the driver issue affects all the programs that use the screen...

It seems that you are under the impression that I am confusing Opera Mobile for Mini... I'm not!

Either way it doesn't matter as the issue seems to have resolved itself on its own.

I could recommend the IE Scroll fix cab, that can be found around here, if you need further improvements until some driver fixes come around...

htc is not making a driver it seems just some optimizing for video playback and scrolling they said not sure if it's scrolling in general or only touchflow scrolling in which case it's doubtfull
that opera mini would benefit
being that it's a java program which always run slower then native wm programs

the speed difference could be because of 2 things
1. your current midletmanager is worse for operaMini then your old devices midletmanager
2. your old device ran wmX, X being an ealier version then your current wm

Well guys it turns out I was premature, the issuse pretty much resolved itself, so things are acceptable now. OperaMini managed to speed up the next time I started it up. And after doing some comparison tests (my other phone is a Qtek 8310 w/WM6 and Esmertec...so similar sofware), I can confirm that our TC is faster! As it shoud be, but its still not flawlessly smooth as it should have been :tounge in cheek:

i have yet to try opera mini but opera mobile is smooth as a babys butt for scrolling. it does have other issues tho...

[sonus]

wsmith79, I would definitely recommend that you try Mini, it has its limitations, but its a lot faster than Mobile or anything else out there.
I as well as many others use Mini to browse the real web and Mobile/PIE when we need to download things.
