Opera 9.5 beta- path for touchflo bookmarks?

[VistaVick]

Ive installed the latest opera beta and used various aps to have the new version of the browser (not the one that came with the phone) launch from the touchflo3d menus. However, it still seems to be displaying the bookmarks from the old opera, when I edit bookmarks in the new beta they don't display on the browser touchflo tab.

For now, I copied the opera6.adr file from the beta 9.5 application data folder and overwrote the .adr file in the windows programs directory where the standard opera that came with the phone stores its files.

However, is there a registry edit or app that will allow me to edit the path to the bookmarks file that touchflo uses in its interface?

I have a similar problem. How can someone replace the link in the touchflo tab of internet in order to point to a different browser and not the standard coming with HTC TD?
THANXX

Hi!

I had this problem and eventually found that it is hard-coded in one of the LUA scripts. Sorry, don't know which one from memory. I tried decompiling this script, but I could not get it compliled again - even without changing a character.

So I'm sorry to say that you can't do it that way.

There IS however something you can try:
Open Opera and type opera:config in the title bar.
Under "Saved Settings" and "User Prefs" there's a bunch of paths you can modify.

You might try the "Opera Directory" path under "User Prefs".

Hope this helps.

From a quick look at the first-boot-scripts it seems that the opera6.adr file is placed eventually in \windows\opera9\opera6.adr.

The default bookmarks are cooked in in a file \windows\_opera6.adr and when you first turn on your phone it copies / moves the file to \windows\opera9\opera6.adr. The path also comes up while searching through several _manila files so that also seems to be the location where TouchFlo is looking for the bookmarks.

If you want that Internet tab to be integrated with _another_ browser you have a lot of Decompiling, recompiling, editing of LUA code and hex-editing work to. :P

Someone else posted this & I copied into a Word doc, so I apologize for not giving proper credit:

All you need to do is to modify a file named “InternetPortal-en-US.xml” which is located in \Application Data\Manila. Use the freeware application Total Commander to navigate to this file and once you locate it press the pen/paper icon on the bottom of the page and that will open the file on the screen so you can edit it. Just so everyone knows, we’re not tweaking the registry here. I’m just using Total Commander because it is more powerful than File Explorer so don’t be afraid of it:)
Ok, once the file is open in Total Commander just add one of the following lines after the line <InternetPortal> which is towards the top:
Opera is:
<BrowserExe>\Windows\OperaL.exe</BrowserExe>
mobile\OperaL.exe</BrowserExe>
Internet Explorer is:
<BrowserExe>\Windows\iexplore.exe</BrowserExe>
SkyFire is:
<BrowserExe>\program files\skyfire\skyfire.exe</BrowserExe>
Iris is:
<BrowserExe>\program files\iris browser\irisbrowser.exe</BrowserExe>

I installed Opera Mobile 9.5 beta to my storage card, so my new path is:
<BrowserExe>\storage card\program files\opera

*Note if you can't save your changes - make sure that the file isn't set on "read only" (click the hand holding the paper icon and uncheck the "read only" box. You may have to click twice to remove the setting)

Yeah I do not see that file anywhere:(

I have the Sprint branded HTC Diamond and the \Application Data\Manila folder does not exist, I am using Total Commander.

I saw this as a solution to make 9.5 default if you lose 9.5 as the default browser. Are you saying if I upgraded to 9.7 beta, this process will make my 9.7 bookmarks the bookmarks in the TF3D internet tab?
