[jeffreynew23]

I found this at PPCGEEKS. Can someone be brave enough to install and let me know how it is different than 9.33?

I try and i tell you the news...

[bachikho]

this is v9.5 build 405, it runs faster than v9.0 build 331 but smart-fit function is still for VGA only, hoping final version will support QVGA!

Can it be uninstalled?

[bachikho]

no, but don't worry because when installing a new version, it will be uninstalled automatically!

[KamaL]

Any notable speed performance??

Tried it - still very slow on my Trinity WM6 compared to opera mini. Also I encountered many freezes of the ppc and had t soft reset.
Maybe it's not meant to be used on qvga screens at all.

Will still wait for the final release.

I downloaded it, but it wouldn't open on my Kaiser.:confused:

Faster - but doesnt zoom out all the way which is a bit of a pain.

Guys...try this thread.

This one has an uninstall feature.

Try typing "about:config" in the address field (without the quotes)
and you can customize maaaaaaaaaaaaany settings including screen
size with Adaptive Zoom Settings. So you optimze it for QVGA Portrait
or Landscape screen. You can also change Cache Location and much more!!

[Bratag]

wow I didnt even know about that - Do you have any recommended settings for qvga. To me it seems like the fonts are perhaps wrong.

[LTxda]

Guys I posted a new CAB with uninstaller. Also posted qVGA version. Enjoy!

[dahlem]

Guess there isn't any auto wrap of text or fitting to page like in mini?

[TucanMobile]

To get this version set up properly type opera:config into the address bar. Then go to Adaptive Zoom hit default for everything except "Virtual Screen Width" put this to 960. This will set it to the same settings as 9.0 v.331. I'm still playing around with this setting to see if I can get QVGA screens to do the smart zoom to text like on OperaMini.

You you can change many settings there including Adaptive zoom, however that is only PART of the solution to getting Opera to properly fit to screen on a QVGA device.

These VGA optimized versions limit the paragraph width to VGA dimensions... not QVGA ones... It is possible to make some adjustments to the adaptive zoom settings to compensate for this.. but for many sites it is not enough. We need to be able to adjust the limit on the paragraph width... like it does in Opera Mini.

I know this could not be done in the config section of Opera Mobile 9.33 ....can it be done in 9.405? There is an option to turn the "limit paragraph width" on and off, but not to adjust the actual width.

I downloaded the uninstallable version for qvga, but it still won't work for some reason on my kaiser. Is there something I need to do? Please help.

[TucanMobile]

To get text smart zoom to work:

Just "right click" any webpage and a menu will pop up. Click Limit Paragraph to get Opera to smart zoom to text. If you don't understand look at therealholg's pictures he posted.

I have a HTC Vogue. It should just install like any other cab. Try uninstalling Opera do a soft reset then reinstall Opera.

[hollywould]

Should I install it to the devise, instead of the storage card? Because that didn't work.

[hollywould]

You know what scratch that, it doesn't work no matter where I put it. I don't get whats wrong.

[DaMilky]

I am very glad to be wrong!

Could you please share your specific settings for adaptive zoom? Whenever I load up a page I never get a zoomed out overview mode. It is a bit zoomed out... but not by much... and then when I zoom in... it really zooms in :)

Also my paragraph limit width is really strange... not nice like your images. It limits the width to like 3 words!

Thanks for your help.

[spartan007]

I installed in on my htc touch. The Opera screen loads but while its opening the home page it frezes i need to take out the battery to use the phone again. If it does work it doesn;t load web pages and when i close n try to re-open it nothing comes up. Is this a problem with the instalation cab or my phone?

[lepsyfou]

no fonctionnel "artemis" :( this version it s less stable...

[TucanMobile]

I'm not having any problems with it on my Vogue. In fact it's faster than the 9.0 v.331 build and much more stable (I haven't had a single bug or error of any kind) not to mention it loads faster for me. It might just be my eyes, but it seems to display websites even more clearly too.

I explained how to do all this on page 2. Both the Adaptive zoom settings and the smart text zoom. But here it is again.

To get this version set up properly type opera:config into the address bar. Then go to Adaptive Zoom hit default for everything except "Virtual Screen Width" put this to 960. This will set it to the same settings as 9.0 v.331. I'm still playing around with this setting to see if I can get QVGA screens to do the smart zoom to text like on OperaMini.

I recommend using this QVGA skin as it is much cleaner and has transparencies where it is supposed to.

Try this css in /application data/opera9/styles to wrap the paragraphs to 240 pixels. It works for sites like cnn but not for this forum (can't specify max-width for table cells) Maybe someone better at stylesheets can help.

[pdx77]

I see this veresion doesn't include Opera Widgets (unless I am overlooking something)

[LTxda]

I have it on mine BUT it's probably because I installed this version over .33.

[DaMilky]

hmm you shouldn't need any additional files to get the smart fit to work. the paragraph width limiting does indeed work in this version. even on this page.

[EazyVG]

Works like a charm on my Artemis WM6.1, and with tweaking the text wrapping is also working pretty nicely, though not on par as of that in OM4. Compared to previous beta, this one is definitely faster.

[eaglesteve]

If this is version 9.405, why does it says 9.5 in www.useragent.org?

[Mobi95]

eaglesteve
It is 9.5 beta build 405.

[Chainfire]

There's a fixed QVGA release out there ...

[sandworm]

ah.. you're right.. I had my adaptive zoom min overview set to 30 to get it to zoom out for a better page view like 9.33, but that seems to screw up the paragraph width. Looks like there's no easy way of getting both the full page view and the fit to width.

[LordDeath]

I have two problems with this:

1. I would like you have a left-handed landscape mode, but Opera Mobile always changes it back to right-handed.
2. On the Google page in the upper row I can click on my mail address to get to the Gmail Inbox. But Opera Mobile does not open the url behind this link: It recognizes an email address and so start my mail program (flexmail). Can I change this behavior?
edit:
3. When I enter a "space" into an input field two spaces will be added instead of one.

[Draiko]

I just wish I could make it load in landscape mode and then switch back to portrait on close.

I've asked this in other threads without any joy, but ever the optimist...

Does anyone know if/how the search facility in Opera can be changed from Yahoo?

[TacoLoco]

maybe on the page "about:config" but I didn't check..

[nmilosev]

Opera 9.5 beta - Uninstallable:http://rapidshare.com/files/95108887/Opera_Mobile_9.5_VGA_Uninstallable.cab

I have been through opera:config - same difference - with a reasonably fine tooth comb but can't find anything. Shame, with the space issue, the ability to map the search utility to Google would make this very useful.

Anyone tried the alleged 9.5 Beta yet? I suspect it's another rehash of one of the exisiting versions but happy to be told different.

The new Opera released on ppcgeeks and here in ltxda's topic is indeed a newer version than the previously posted and often mislabelled version.

Tnx! and should we all go search for it seperately or are you going to put a link there too?
Much appreciated.

No, I was wondering about the one referred to in nmilosev's post #47. I have the 405 version installed and am very impressed. Can't wait for the release version and Flash Lite becoming widely available (or is it only me that can't seem to lay my hands on it at the moment?)

When I press a link to view the video, nothing happens (normally TCPMP opens). I have read all the steps at ytpocket to install everything correctly and I have add a file association (mms) with "Advanced Config" but nothing works.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

[myagkiy]

When you enter to https sites which require inserting of log and password you get following message: "the server's certificate did not match its hostname". After this reference there are two buttons "accept" or "CANCEL". After you click on "ACCEPT" you get follwoing reply: "You tried to access the address: https://........, which is currently unavailable". However OPERA 8.65 supports these sites without any problem

[hodakaroadtoad]

I kept wondering why I could get it to install on one of my 8525s, but not the other, although they're fairly identical. It turned out that on my work one, I had just enough extra files to prevent it from installing. I removed a few and it installed without issue..

Using the 9.405 version created over at ppcgeeks. It works great, and is uninstallable and all. For beta release, it works well. I've found a couple sites that don't work, but overall, its' quite nice.

The primary issue I do have with it whenever I enter ANY text into fields (i.e. login and passwords), it enters in an extra space. E.g. if I want to enter "text", it actually types in:

" t e x t" (note leading spaces, and ignore quotes)

Its not a HUGE issue, just an annoyance. I can remove the spaces. Though it gets tricky on passwords since they are masked. Have to remember its always a leading space, not trailing.

BTW, this could be the issue some people are having logging into sites.

Anyone esle have this issue? Any fix for it known?

I'm using PCM Keyboard, though I think it happens with any SIP method.

UPDATE: Oops, I just noticed the post a few above this where someone has the same issue. OK. I haven't tried with the default. I used PCMK and HTC keyboards. Hmmm, ok I guess this is a minor workaround for now.

Also, how do you default it to open a page in total zoomed out mode?

Is anyone else finding that word completion doesn't work? It works when entering names for bookmark folders but doesn't for fields on web forms. Also although I don't get a space in between each letter, when I press space after the end of a word I get two spaces. Does anyone else see this? Another thing with the zoom facility. It would be better if it had the option of having a system like opera mini as the double click can cause problems if you have a webpage with a javascript keyboard (like the password entry on citibank website). If you tap the virtual keys too quickly the screen zooms in and out. On the plus side, I do like the way password fields display characters briefly before changing to an asterisk (like Symbian). The standard WinMo password entry can be problematic if you are using handwriting recognition as you can't tell what letter it thinks you wrote.

It's a shame you don't get obvious visual feedback when clicking a link. Sometimes the screen goes white and a blue progress bar appears, other times it just sits there with the link highlighted in grey for ages and you don't know whether you clicked it properly. The screen going white is annoying - it would be better if the current page just stayed displayed until the new one is ready to load. I'm sure I'll end up buying this because of its compatibility with most web sites but there's a lot that the free opera mini does much better.

Hopefully these sorts of issues will be ironed out with the official beta and subsequent releases. But who knows when that will be ....

Again I switched back to Opera 8.65.

This bug was too annoying: If I minize Opera Mobile 9 and it loads something in the background the smooth scrolling feature won't work anymore. The image stays the same while scrolling and then jumps directly to the new scrolled position. This makes the navigation very hard and I had to restart the application.

Hi to all Opera users

Please visit this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486502

The idea is to have in one thread all the different versions of Opera 9.5 circulating all over the forum, to get easy acces to them.

Please feel free to share about this and hope all can contribute
