Opera 9.5 - Build 781 - Release Notes
-------------------------------------

This build has been taken from a HTC Diamond ROM.

As with the build 405 release, we have made some adjustments:

- Able to uninstall
- WM5 version
- QVGA version

Note on this build: works great; scrolling seems smoother; always installs to \Windows\Opera9.

Note on the WM5 version: we performed the same trick as for the 405 build, but this build has NOT been tested on an actual WM5 device.

Note on the QVGA version: the skin used in the 405 PROPER build (thanks to whoever made that skin) could not be used, as there are a bunch of new icons in this build. We had to create a new QVGA skin, and though it mostly works fine, it could still be improved upon. We also adjusted the scrolling/zoom settings as was done in the 405 PROPER, as that works a lot better than the default settings from the VGA version.

- Have fun!

I thought I'd copy and paste the release notes here, instead of people searching. Hope this helps. It'll be good to post the opera's latest version here as well.

Is it possible to install it on memory card??

:rolleyes:

Yes, I am installing it as I speak to my card. I just tried 9.5 out for the first time last night, an older build, but I was quite impressed.

Well, you can choose to install to card, but for me it didn't work, all necessary files go to \windows\opera9 as mentioned in the release notes. Can anybody "fix" this? Would be really great!

Possibly. It depends on Opera internals... does it always look for files in \Windows ? May be possible, but impossible to say unless somebody tries to modify it and it works (or not).

[flaviopac]

I need device space because on my Touch I haven't so much....

Can this Opera build play .flv videos like youtube's ones?

[Chatty]

Somebody please mirror here...

You r right...I've gone back to my older version (Build 405) because it is not a cab but just Files in a zip-file so I can put almost everything to my SD-Card...but I think some things where modified to make it work like this. When I have time I will look into the cab and try to make a copy-only version by using the older release...

[wearefree]

1. Can someone mirror it here? Don't have a ppcgeeks account so can't download.

2. What is the difference between QVGA and QVGA_wm5 version? It's hard to figure that out from their release notes.

Again, thanks for the heads up!

Nice theory, I'm going to check that :)

[bluemetalaxe]

so this is the long waited opera 9.5, but can someone test it and tell me if or what is better than opera mini ?

[robosiris]

so this is the long waited opera 9.5, but can someone test it and tell me if or what is better than opera mini ?

For some odd reason, I can't use it. It installs, but it won't load and stays stuck. I have to reboot it. But I can attest to the fact that it uninstalls:D. I have opera mini, but can't test it to know whether or not it's better than opera mini, (Netfront and Opera Mini are my favorite browsers.)

[LordDeath]

I just installed it and there is a big difference between this and the old build: Even on the logo during the startup it forced all the background applications to close. This means, is takes much more RAM then the old build.
I hope, this stays still usable on my device.

edit: Maybe it was the default homepage or the first startup, but now it seems to be more memoryfriendly.
Bookmarks (opera6.adr) from application data\opera9 copied over to windows\opera9 works well.

And it seems, that the size of the bookmarks is still VGA. Looks much bigger, than in the last build :)

[mattie01]

this version is great. it auto formats text after you zoom it somthat all the text fits on the screen :)

[bluemetalaxe]

forget my questions. this kicks ass !!!
unblievable great.
but a problem in some settings cant see text, jus bers

[bluemetalaxe]

forget my questions. this kicks ass !!!

[LordDeath]

Bug: The first suggestion, when I type in an address which is also in my bookmarks, is not visible. White font on white background for the first suggestion, black font on white background for the second one.

[pjc007]

This may actually replace NetFront 3.5 preview as my default browser.

There are some oddities though:

1) Text entry messes up the screen (yes, I'm using it here).
2) Zoomed-out links don't seem to click.
3) I had to soft-reset after install before it would work at all.

That said - great build, mostly works.

Flash works for me (even YouTube) with flash 7 installed.

-Paul.

[ekin101]

It's working well on my Atom V. The bookmarks seems to be oversize or zoomed though.

[pjc007]

Damn. Major bug. Can't save/download files. The dialogue has no yes/no buttons!

-Paul.

[chaves]

In my i780 seems don´t have internet, by Wifi, HSDPA, or by activesync...

Only get Network error message, but like in the previous version of 9.5 beta :(

Version 8.65 works ok!

Any change in settings?

[rzanology]

i see this post causing aaalooooot of trouble. with that being said! DOWNLOAD NOW!!!!! while you still have the chance!

[avalon53]

its buggy as hell on my mogul...it does play embedded flash though...

...it hogs a crap load of memory on my phone :-/

[outphase]

So far, so good on my Tilt w/ 6.1. I only use it for mobile versions of sites though (google reader, facebook, digg river, etc).

[hollywould]

Can't get it to work on my WM6 Tilt. Opera loads, then nothing happens. Same thing happened with build 405 too.

[dzelaya18]

Feels too sluggish for me. Skyfire and NetFront 3.5 are both really fast for me on a 3G connection...this one is too slow. Even icon presses take forever to respond.

[firiel]

Flash works for me (even YouTube) with flash 7 installed.

Can u please unload or mirror the version of flash7 that u use ?

I am still using 8.65 build 3044

Gonna dl this and try...

[pomfiedel]

it works on my t-mobile mda vario III but the german language settings aren´t correct!
more than the half of the buttons are called like: <521509317> :confused:
is this at yours too?


cu

offtopic: now my videosites etc are opened with opera. can i change this anywhere?

[bluemetalaxe]

same problem here, half of buttons show no text, just numbers(german)

[open_source]

does not work proper on my wizard, 94% Ram usage and after a few minutes it hangs up my device. i am going to switch back to opera mini

edit: uninstall did work fine..:)

[fbp2k]

thanks
1/ working really slowly on my tytn II.
2/ seems some item menu buggy : i've a number instead of text in the menu for example
3/ More over, the user agent seems to be different so i can't use it "on air".
I've tried to play with opera config (type url : about:config, without http, in the adress bar). There is a "UASpoofing" item, but you can only choose a "numer", impossible to type the UA settings.
If somebody knows the good setting for SFR (Vodaphone in France), i'm really interrested !

seems translations are not ready jet
and touchcruise keyboard isnt working, use the brandnew diamond keyboard instead

[MAK11]

Crap! That's 10 steps backward. Just like Opera Mobile 8.65 it doesn't work with proxy connections (Vodafone and SFR so far). There's a hack for 8.65 (edit the .exe and change the user agent) but it doesn't look like it's possible in 9.5 (just checked the .exe file) :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Hi! Does your onscreen HTC Touch keyboard work? Mine doesn't :( Neither does the HW keyboard.

Too Laggy this built. revert to 405.

Sitill doesnt works on th samsung i780 with the newest ROMSs.

No network detected.

Any ideas

hmm, i was running it on my wizard pretty good with wm5 (Tmo 2.26) over wifi. It was kinda glitchy, but i was able to browse around (and post) on xda and hofo without any probs, the big test for browsers.

I couldn't get it to connect on my 8525 with latest att wm6, that and now its crashing all the time with send error reports, think ima have to hard reset :(

what teh hell does the preloader do?

it allows you to load it faster, it basically loads it up into the memory so it launches really fast ;).

[bouaroudj]

any workaround for the useragent?

481 is working with UA... An other good reason to stay with it :D

No, it is NOT. It's a leaked build.

Sounds like this isn't Opera's problem. Rather, it's your operator which messes things up for you.

[crl0901]

Question: How do you check which version of Opera you have on your phone? I think I might have this one, but I'm not sure.

[yodah]

I switched last night from opera mini on my 8525 (AT&T). So far everything is working as it should. PCM keyboard seems to be working great. I wish opera would incorporate navigation using hardware keys on their regular browser, (one feature of mini I like better). Rendering seems a bit slower but that is understandable considering this is an unofficial build. Has anyone tried editing the .config yet?

[elknimrod]

Doesn't work on my Tilt running WM 6. White screen doesn't connect, freezes necessitating a reset.

Try again.

Ed

[bigray327]

Thanks, runs beautifully on my Mogul running WM6.1.

[EvgeniyKo]

Good, vary nice programe, thanks (work on my Amoi)

[liamski]

Works great on my Vario III stock T-Mobile UK WM6.0 ROM. Get the user agent thing sorted and we'll be right in business. Close to getting rid of Opera Mini now....

[chaves]

@Chaves:

Try to switch of the Proxy, that was the problem on my touch...

Not that...

In my case after instalation in i780 no proxy selected, and don´t work!

I try the reverse way, activate proxy, but didn´t work too...

To bad, must back to 8.65 :(

[crl0901]

It runs great on my Tilt with WM6.1, although I'm not sure if I have this exact version.

[Blowfish64]

The settings page is unusable because the buttons are miniscule.

[The Solutor]

I remember to all that you can access the advanced config page as in the desktop version using the address

opera:config

[stpete111]

No, it is NOT. It's a leaked build.



Sounds like this isn't Opera's problem. Rather, it's your operator which messes things up for you.


I'm using it on a non-proxied network connection and also getting the proxy error, and furthermore I now cannot connect to the internet at all with any of my other browsers either. This is an unstable heaping pile of dogsh*t. Getting this garbage off my phone with haste.

[orithm]

much slower than mini on tytn II with wm6.1 dutty

[-SKYLINE-]

works wonderfully in my n560 wm5. would definately use this more for casual browsing when i don't want to be at my desk. i'm typing this msg on my device right now.

[thenext1]

I don't see any improvement over the latest 9.405 alpha.

It's a memory hog as before (12mb RAM for a page is a memory hog).
It crashes as before when out of memory, or for nothing at all - sometimes www.google.com is enough for it.
It also still crashes when I rotate the screen on my HTC Universal.
The UI is way more sluggish than 9.405, just look at how much time the menu takes to open!
Zooming & redrawing brings my device down on its knees, while it was a snap in 9.405.
Also page rendering speed is on par or slower than 9.405.


You have to just use netfront 3.5, latest build 519... they even fixed the 100%-CPU-bug...

[LordDeath]

In the ppcgeeks.com forum I read, that this improves the speed a bit:
In opera:config under user prefs enable the turbo mode and the automatic RAM cache.

And I removed this Opera Preloader from the startup: No real difference in the loading time, but now opera9.exe really gets closed.

[bluemetalaxe]

RUNs great on touch cruise/Polaris/orbit2 !!! Much better than the good opera mini ! Time to say good by. Test it ist really a big different and great but:
- maybe a little bit slower because of not using a proxi but, scrolling is much smoother, no crashes or anything
- needs lot of ram
- think for running smooth and without crashing or somthing you need a newer ppc with 400 mhz an much RAM/ROM like Kaiser/touchcruise or similar.
, so OLDER phones should use opera mini or test it and dont say its bad, because i think this one is made for faster ppcs !
- htc toucruise keyboards dont work, just normal windows keyboard, so use the new Diamond Keyboard !
- the Translations arent ready jet, so on settings you see often just Numbers, no text

[master athlon]

WOW, this is simply amazing and nice improvements from the older builds. this browser's gonna kick Safari's ass when its complete :cool:

[zkyevolved]

WOW, this is simply amazing and nice improvements from the older builds. this browser's gonna kick Safari's ass when its complete :cool:

If it could just do keyboard translations (for my touch dual) I'd totally be using it nonstop! But I'm sad :( It doesn't.

So you are blaming Opera because your network is blocking it?

LOL.


You have to just use netfront 3.5, latest build 519...
Is that an official build or a leaked version? If it's an official build it's hardly comparable to an unofficial leaked pre-alpha of Opera...

As user of Opera (rev 405), i managed to get Vodafone France properly rendered on a P3600 (Trinity).
What i did:

opera:config as URL

In "User Prefs", you search for those 2 values:
UA MIDP Profile -> Put your preferred UA
UA Phone Software -> Put your preferred UA

In "Network", search for :
UA Post Platform -> put "PPC"
UA User Agent Platform -> Put your preferred UA

Did you make any edits to the config to make it run faster?

[bluemetalaxe]

here is a link to a MUCH better german language file:
http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showpost.php?p=1073282&postcount=9
download it, unzip it, rename the lng file to "de.lng" and put it in the Opera Folder ("local", i think) and put the new "settings" file in the settings folder of opera.
I`m still missing one or two translations but now nearly all is translated.

[directmail]

Already enabled the turbo mode and the automatic RAM cache and changed Max Server Connections and Max Allowed to 10 but still takes ages to open pages. Does anyone know of an option that loads pictures in low quality such as in Opera Mini?

nope just installed the cab. what network are you using. i know verizons EVDO here is fast.

[canadiankorean]

I did the same tweak and still very slow.

This browser blows. Super slow, super buggy. Why anyone would use this when Skyfire is available is beyond me.

I'm sticking with Skyfire 100%.

6.0 or 6.1 should be the same, but we all should remember that this version is made for a 600mhz Diamond with graphic drivers. And it doesnt use a proxi server like the opera mini. Why i prefer this and no loger the mini:
- automatic fullscreen (no bars at all) !
- real smooth scrolling,
- in and out silde by douple touch
- textinput in the page (not this mini bullshit with going to portrait mode...)

but i must say,
- i have somtimes little problems with choosing a link
- page loading lasts a little bit longer but no problem now (got HSDPA:D)
- the buttons react a little bit slow.

but after all: GREAT !

Is that an official build or a leaked version? If it's an official build it's hardly comparable to an unofficial leaked pre-alpha of Opera...

It is not leaked, but it's a "concept" version, enframed in what seems to be Access' eternal beta phase.

[thenext1]

When you all say "this opera version kicks ass!11!!!one!1one" I think you have yet to try netfront 3.5 build 519.
It simply blows opera away in every aspect, except plugin support, which is non-existent ... (but flash7 will eventually hang opera or eat out all available RAM, and will not work properly after all , so it's not that goodness having it on a PPC)

[chrisd1a1]

has anyone managed to get the embedded flash working as yet??



i've got flash 7 and no joy

anyone tried flashlite and if so what version?


i know some have got this working, any ideas?

[EyeAmRubber]

Exactly. So comparing it to a leaked alpha version which was never intended to be used on anything but a Diamond is kind of futile... I wouldn't be surprised if this Opera build contains lots of Diamond specific optimizations.

Except you are comparing an officially released and supported version intended to work on a wide variety of devices to a leaked alpha build designed to run on one single phone.

Why are you assuming that we haven't tried Netfront? It's been out for ages. But never mind. I thought we were discussing Opera here...


This browser blows. Super slow, super buggy. Why anyone would use this when Skyfire is available is beyond me.
Skyfire is an official and supported beta release meant to work on a variety of phones. The Opera version you are using is a leaked alpha build intended to be used on one specific phone. If you want to judge Opera, you should at least wait for an official build.

[bluemetalaxe]

okay my Buglist:

- doupple tapping: allways the same: in a forum on first side it zooms in right, when i open a thread and want to zoom in, it zooms in just a little bit ?????
- when zooming in and the page is not fully loaded, it zooms out again
- HTC-Keyboards of touchcruise not working, also some of the new diamond keyboards
- all buttons, settings an confiq react slow
- somtimes problems to touch a link, no reaction, wrong link opens
- missing translations
- youtube: opera overgives to videolink to media straming, nothing happens, but plays some videos direct in the webpage :rolleyes:
- much to big favorites Icons/Side

but after all: very smooth scrolling, automatic fullscreen, font rendering and and and...., cant wait for a official version !!!!

NF 3.5 is not officially supported nor meant to run on a wide variety of devices. They expressly state that the browser was tested only on one device (tytn 2, IIRC). And actually, if you can program an application equally or better than a gorilla with a keyboard would do, your application will run on a wide variety of devices without modification.

Why are you assuming that we haven't tried Netfront? It's been out for ages. But never mind. I thought we were discussing Opera here...It's been out for ages, but real improvements are on the version only.

[lordsinasina]

i installed it on my prophet..works like a charm.the speed is also good and its as good as opera mini

[EyeAmRubber]

Uh, I beg to differ.

It is an officially released test version, as opposed to Opera, which is a leaked alpha which was never intended for the public to use.

It is meant to work on more phones, as opposed to the leaked Opera build, which has been made specifically for one single phone. Netfront hasn't only been tested on that phone, it has been designed specifically to work only on that phone.

That the leaked Opera works on other phones is a mere coincidence, whereas Netfront working on other phones is expected because it hasn't been specifically designed only to work on one single phone.

And actually, if you can program an application equally or better than a gorilla with a keyboard would do, your application will run on a wide variety of devices without modification.
You can do that, but clearly, this build was created specifically for the Diamond. It's optimized for the Diamond's hardware and software setup. A general version of Opera Mobile 9.5 would be optimized for general use cases, as opposed to being tied closely to one specific device and relying on, for example, hardware acceleration.

This is not about the ability to make something run on more phones or not. It's about the fact that Opera has created this build only to run on the Diamond.

To me it sounds like that they tried to conserve memory usage. They didn't succeed, but that producded that annoying side effect of extra slugginesh. If the program qas made specifically for the diamond, it'll be using GL-ES graphic acceleration, which would make it not even start on software-only PDAs like my Universal.

[EyeAmRubber]

From their website:
Exactly. Their goal is a general-purpose browser for multiple phones. The leaked Opera build is only intended to work on the Diamond.

HTC said that they worked on a custom Opera-based browser for the Diamond, so obviously the build is only supposed to be working on that phone. That it even runs on something else is purely accidental.

Or maybe there are fallbacks due to the alpha nature of the build. Or something like that.

The point is that unlike Netfront, this leaked Opera build was specifically designed only to run on a certain device.

Agreed, i'm impressed on how well this haxed version runs on other devices (my wizard and tytn) and can't wait for the official QVGA build...hopefully with teh same opera:config

[isomaniac]

In my Tytn II, this version of OM is so slow compare to the previous Build 405 version.

I installed the Opera 781 build on my At&t Tilt and I really like it but there are a few things bothering me:

1: I cannot get it to connect via wifi. It will only use the 3G connection and will not recognize the faster wifi connection. If I turn my phones radio off and turn on wifi on only it will not connect at all. Is there a setting I can change where it will connect to wifi preferentially? It connects to wifi just fine on other programs.

2: I cannot figure out how to import favorites. Any ideas how?

Otherwise this program rocks and I cannot wait for a full release!

Thats because opera automatically loaded the proxy information from connection settings. You need to go to opera:config , find the proxy settings, and delete the cingular stuff. You can use the search function to search for "proxy". I can't remember where exactly they are as i don't have it in front of me atm.

[aznmasterpiece]

I installed it on my Tilt. Works great. Cant connect over wifi. Does anyone know the settings for that? I went to Opera:Config but I have no idea what to change. flash doesn't work on my device either. i uninstalled my flash player 7 and installed a fresh copy of flash player 7 but to no avail.

REEEEAAAAAD the post above yours!! go to opera:config then "Proxy" remove the cingular entries!!!!!!! (i also unchecked the http, https, ftp boxes).

This build is not as good as the new 1004 build, so look for that!

[aznmasterpiece]

thanks dude.

i tried flashlite. doesnt work either.

Hello all...indeed this looks promising but appears very buggy...
Could someonr advise a means of safely un-installing build 1004? Also, whilst using the bottom bar Icons were so large that I could not find or get to the settings on the extreme right to change same...very frustrating!!
Thanks:(

No problems now....sorted it out from this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1952726

it works on my t-mobile mda vario III but the german language settings aren´t correct!
more than the half of the buttons are called like: <521509317> :confused:
is this at yours too?


cu

offtopic: now my videosites etc are opened with opera. can i change this anywhere?

Delete the device specific language from Windows\Opera9\Locale, and you get the English language, which is complete.

[buupbup@yaho.com]

I replaced the files of opera 405 build in /application data with the opera build 781 files. since build 405 kinda has flash support, i have an opera mobile that has really good graphics that could support flash.


ALWAYS REMEMBER!!!!
DISABLE AND REMOVE HIDDEN PROXY TO WORK!!!!
p.s. its adobe flash 7 that works, not flashlite

[ather90]

could you attach the files here so that i can make a Single CAB for evrery one here

[buupbup@yaho.com]

This may actually replace NetFront 3.5 preview as my default browser.

There are some oddities though:

1) Text entry messes up the screen (yes, I'm using it here).
2) Zoomed-out links don't seem to click.
3) I had to soft-reset after install before it would work at all.

That said - great build, mostly works.

Flash works for me (even YouTube) with flash 7 installed.

-Paul.

Hey Paul I was wondering how you can make it work with flash. Flash does not seem to work with mine.

[ashmont]

... however there are still two annoying bugs I've noticed:
1) word completion doesn't work when filling out form fields. This even works on Opera Mini so not sure why it doesn't here. It's quite disappointing as word completion is very useful.
2) doesn't seem to render special HTML characters properly e.g. on Google page the copyright symbol at the bottom next to 2008 comes out as &copy; instead of ©
Also user settings seem to require the page to be zoomed in before selecting otherwise they come out too small to read.
Anyone else seen these problems/know how to fix?

Regards,

Ashley

Is there anyone who able to help me delete it off from my Diamond and the manila is well please they just waste my space and totally usless.....I like the Diamond even because is my upgrade from orange UK ,but this interface not fancy to me at all.....

?????:confused:
again, you want to unsintall why ??? Dont understand any word you wrote, sorry
why dont u use the unistall function of windows mobil ?

[Bjd223]

The scrolling is very smooth, literally no tearing or redrawing when scrolling (after the page loads ofcourse). Scroll too fast and it does what the iphone does, it displays that white and grey light checkerboard background until that part of the page is loaded. I don't think it is taking advantage of touchflo, but still good.

Pages load faster than PIE but Lacks plugin support, like flash.

This is by no means the end all and be all of browsers, but when the final version comes out, it is going to be the best (unless firefox mobile doesn't suck).
