this version has been the best for me so far
running on qvga device (sprint HTC touch with "my_flash_3_1.cab" installed to SD and with the cab on the first post installed to SD - I selected the option even though I know it doesn't really install to SD)

perks:
**when entering text in a box like xda the screen moves to show you what you are typing
**flash works really well there is even an option to enable it in settings .. I have had no crashes
**typing is fast if you use a keyboard like TouchPal
**scrolling and panning is much faster and smoother than any previous build making it a breeze to navigate through pages
**definitely fastest loading of pages of any build

it did take a while of tweaking to make it usable
here is what I did:

in opera:config...

in user prefs:
changed max allowed tabs to 7
enabled notify of finished download
changed minimum font size to 12
changed scroll velocity to 180
enabled smooth scrolling (not sure if this does anything)
enabled scroll is pan (this option is GREAT .. especially of any one here uses the facebook html app posted in cornelhas thread.. it allows you go acheive a touchflo effect instead of actually grabbing the scrollbar (use your thumb!))

in zoom:
.. changed overview to 45
.. max and min to 100
.. disabled mobile zoom (0)

I then deleted three images from the skin file to disable the transparent overview in the top left of the screen and the pretty much useless vertical scrollbar
.. in the skin zip go into the folder "WMPlatform"
.. delete the two minimap images for the transparent overview
.. delete the vertical scrollbar

I found registry keys to make some changes to the internet widget on manila 2d ..
.. to enable a link to your youtube app go into HKLM\software\HTC\manila2d\internetwidget\customiz ed\customizedcount
..change this to 1 (this number corresponds to how many links you want to customize by adding folders with the link etc - there should be a folder named 0 already there if you want to add more copy 0's contents into new folders named 1,2,3etc)

also you can change the default "opera 9.5" link that is the big icon by using the registry keys that are where the customizedcount key is

and make sure you change the registry key "realexit" to 1 so it doesn't continue to run even after you exit
.. find this in HKLM\software\opera\preload

I think that is everything..
hope that helps someone.. at least as a compilation of all the good info strewn around xda about customizing opera
enjoy!
