[willyy1991]

I was waiting for someone to, but i kept searching and no one did:
Source > http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=1401
Download > http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/download/
Widgets > http://widgets.opera.com/

I allready have a question, how to replace original opera located on phone with this one, i allready installed it on device and it didnt overwrite the old one.
Secondly how do these widgets work, do you have to unpack them and open index.html -_-? What kind of widget-prog is that ..:P

Have you read the FAQ (http://widgets.opera.com/general/faq/#widgets-install)?

Also, I'm not sure what you were waiting and searching for, or what no one did, before you decided to start yet another thread about the new Opera Mobile beta? Because I found these threads before you started yours..

Maybe you can find your answers there. If so and if you were waiting and searching for the links I gave you, please search harder next time, so you can post any remaining questions you may have in existing threads.. Thanks ;)

This new Opera release is exactly as Opera have stated - a "PUBLIC" release, so it is NOT packaged, skinned or built as per the usual Opera builds we are used to - such as those incorporated in the roms or available from these forums. If one inspects the distribution, you will find a very different file structure, skin support, and directory paths, very unlike our usual Opera builds on the stock Diamond and other HTC devices.

This is because the Opera builds that we are all accustomed to (and subsequently patched together and distributed by Senior Members on these forums) have been customized by HTC working with Opera. In this manner there almost absolutely ARE the equivalent of TWO BRANCHES of Opera build. This how we get (and continue to use) a very specific branch of Opera9.5 on our devices - of which this Public beta is NOT one.

The build numbers (i.e. 1938; 2392; 2723) simply represent the versioning of the Binary development at Opera and are not related to the packaging, distribution and integration for particular vendors or devices which will be different again, though still utilizing those same build numbers.

When this is packaged for the Diamond - as our current builds are - it will be great on our devices. At the moment though, this is just a generic public release beta, so has not been customised by HTC to fit the scheme, theme, directory/file structure (and hence Manila integration) of our Diamonds.

Until then, you can of course install it separately, however please be aware that because it has not been packaged for the Diamond it will install neither binaries, nor libraries to the same location as the specific Diamond builds. Hence it will not be guaranteed to replace existing files in the rom, and may therefore conflict or leave two versions of Opera on the device.

Of course it is only my opinion that the above points are important - others may agree or disagree.

Rest assured that as soon as a more recent build is available (perhaps even based on some of the same files as this new public beta build) it will become available at this thread first:

Hoping this is all agreeable and informative.
