[CAB] Opera Mobile as the default browser

[xnifex]

So this is for us Tmobile TP2 users who have PIE as the default browser.

I've had a few people test this & it has worked for most. I've also tested the updated cab from a fresh hard reset & it works for everything.

Things it does:
Sets OM as Default Browser
Makes OM the default for the Internet tab on TF3D
Changes the startup page on the Internet tab to Google
Sets search function on Internet tab to go through Google
Opens bookmarks on Internet tab in OM
Opens all links in any app with OM
Increases max tab allowed in OM to 5
Changes "Minimum overview Zoom" in OM to 90


Difference between OD & ODBookmarks
The ODBookmarks cab is the same except it takes away the globe & 4 default bookmarks on the Internet tab & just has your OM bookmarks listed.
(See screenshot)

Uninstalling
If you don't like this, just unistall like any other program. Also, to change the Internet tab back to Tmobiles default, install the TmoDefault cab. You have to do this because if you unistall the first cab it'll delete the settings for the Internet tab. Also, for some reason, no matter what, after you set OM to default, if you revert back to default settings, OM will still open all links in other appls. Don't know why, but it will not revert back to IE. Sorry.

Warning
If you've changed any settings in the OM ini, this will overwrite those settings so you'll need to redo them.

***Not for us with WM6.5 &/or Manila 2.5+ since i dont run a newer rom & i've never messed with it.***

Thanks for any help. Please leave feedback.

If you tried the original version & your links don't open in Opera, install the new one & everything should work. Thanks for helping test the original.

hmm, it should have done everything. i wonder what went wrong? Did you soft reset the device & then try?

@fabolous04 do links in emails & everything open up in Opera Mobile as well?

Are you talking about the key on the keyboard? I don't know how to fix that. I was just thinking about that a few minutes ago.

Also, do links in emails & everything open up in Opera Mobile as well?

It still opens links in internet explorer, as far as I can tell. It did change the tab in tf3d.

Ok, i have to figure out what else i changed on my phone but didn't put in the CAB that's makes the links work on mine.

Works for me; plus my email links still open in opera mobile

Cool. Glad to hear it's working.

@jim_0068 I'm thinking you're right (on tmonews) that the preference setting inside OM is needed as well, so I may include a modded ini file for that in the CAB. Its weird though because my ini file shows that particular setting as not being changed yet it all still works for me.

I just wish I could compare my registry to someone who hasn't tried this or anything else on it, just to double check all the registry settings i changed.
