Generally, yes, but just like wine, it won't support everything.
One interesting fact about native apps porting: not fullscreen windows get scaled up to fullscreen size. It is one of limitations... we can work it around I think.

yes, red.
But can someone add some button for rotation?
or
Let run Opera not in native code ?
Thanks for info.
Its a WM program, i believe WP has a completely different set of APIs available, you cant make Opera 10 work on WP without using an emulator unless you rewrite and compile it for WP
Im going to hazzard a guess and say that perhaps screen rotation isnt working because the needed WM APIs dont exist on WP meaning the emulator would need updating, which probably isnt very easy.
Opera aside, i get the feeling this could be something very big!
other ports?
Now since Opera Mobile works so good on WP7, though it's not even open source, I wonder if it's easier to port open source applications, like ScummVM or PocketDjvu? ScummVM runs on more than 20 different platforms, but unfortunately not on WP7. It certainly doesn't use the registry, since it's just a zipfile for Windows and Windows Mobile.
PocketDjvu runs on Windows Mobile solely, but the cab only has 412 kb and the installed program consists of a single .exe file with 1,06 MB (In case of PocketDjVu, I'm not sure about registry keys needed, but I couldn't find any, it seems to run "portable", too). Just asking, because for me these are the only two useful programs with no pendant on WP7.

Opera for "normal"-unlocked devices
First of i want to say thanks for getting to this special Opera moment. Great! Really appreciate your job.
I see in you code that you call "CreateProcess(Opera10-armv4i.exe, 0, out result, out handle);" and that specific method can only be executed on unlocked (policy free systems), preventing me as "normal" user not to run, and get "INVALID_EXE_SIGNATURE" (not errorcode "0" as of S_OK, that you want).
I do see that the exe is not recompiled (Opera10-armv4i.exe) (build date: Mars 17 2010), due it has a MS code signing. But that's not important.
From what i see that can be done, is to invoke "exe entrypoint" from DllImport caller, like this: ASMNativeMethods.Create<Action>("Opera10-armv4i.exe", "start (need more reverse engineering here)")();
To get this to work, the only hope is from within Opera itself, not requiring to "advanced dependencies" (like opening file here, there, everywhere) (file policy). Altho this can be configured in config.
The launch-layout probably would look like this:
- Taskhost.exe app://{guid} (WP7 C# entrypoint)
- Loaded += ASMNativeMethods.Create<Action>("Opera10-armv4i.exe", "start")();
Thats it.
Willing to cooperate?

the latest version is not working properly....whenever i try to open any web....it shows " could not connect to remote server" but i have a strong WiFI and Network connection.....my other browsers are working fine in the same time.
can you please check.
thanks
can you please check.
thanks
Heh
Sure - ultra first wrote the device unlock set for his device, than he fixed Operas. So the stuff is for "normal" unlocked users
Id hazard a guess that they will rewrite it IF they can get it working rather than this method as the market place wouldn't allow this
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Desktop view in Opera Mobile:
In the browser address bar type opera:config
Scroll down to User preferences and click on it
Scroll to custom user agent
Type this into the text box Opera/9.80 (Linux; en) Presto/2.7.81 Version/11.00
Click save
Restart the app
Works. For someone, who will not redirecting to m.adress!

For someone, who will not redirecting to m.adress!check any opera mobile 10 video, they should exist i think.
Good idea, open source projects should be damn easy to port.
Opera doesn't try to connect, only system manages internet connections. So it shouldn't be the problem with opera itself.
Who knows? Most likely they will port it to interoplib or something else ms will allow at that time.
Could you also test Mozilla Firefox for Windows Mobile?
The good news with Firefox is that it's an opensource project and that you can get the current version compiled for Windows Mobile/Phone.

Firefox?
Is there really any benefit from porting Firefox? Now you have IE, Opera Mini and Opera Mobile. Not even a beta version of Firefox has ever been released for Windows Mobile. It is certainly no longer developed and will never reach Opera. And I guess it's something completely different, and very likely impossible, to port Windows software (Firefox desktop version) to Windows Phone.

I notice u need to enable mobile view and 80% Zoom level to display webpages correctly.
if not the loading is slow or text is to small.
also appreciate if the loading screen is instant .
andthe best part is that it saves tons of battery life compared to IE by caching pages

47Opera Mobile 10 for Windows Phone 7
FOR FULL UNLOCK AND ROOT TOOLS UNLOCK
Opera Mobile is a property of Opera Software ASA. Neither Opera Software nor the author of this launcher are responsible for any damage caused by using this app.
Current version of launcher is 1.5
What's new?
- Better interface
- Root Tools support.
- Application window gets recreated on the startup if Opera was already opened.
- Got rid of WindowTreeUpdater, now using system functions directly.
- Font smoothing
- Removed some unneeded system calls.
- Now timeout is 3 seconds.
- Virtual keyboard (SIP) support improved
Q&A
What is it?
That's Opera Mobile 10 initially built for Windows Mobile. I've just added an extra layer that makes it running.
Why does it only work on fully unlocked ROMs (like Dynamics ROM)? Isn't developer/interop unlock enough to run it? Can it work with Root Tools?
Developer unlock will let you install xap. Interop unlock will let inbuilt interop library work. Full unlock or Root Tools unlock will let Opera native exe run.
Which ROMs should I use?
Almost all custom ROMs (based on either Dynamics or DFT) or stock ROMs compatible with WP7 Root Tools.
What's countdown made for?
Press "Stop" and check.
When I press "Stop", there is a "Delete internal opera folders" button. Why is it here? I can delete this app like any other WP application...
The reason is that Opera launcher goes beyond the standard isolated store. For example, it creates "\Program Files\Opera Mobile 10" folder. Also it adds some absent libraries to \Windows\.
If you delete Opera launcher "like any other WP application", folders beyond the sandbox will still stay there. So, use "Delete internal Opera folders" button wisely
I have problems with starting it up...
If it Opera launcher's window doesn't appear at all, it means you have no Interop Unlock.
If it throws an error with "Check your unlock state" in the end, it means your unlock isn't enough for running native executables/copying files.
Anyway, you shouldn't post about it here. I will ignore such comments.
Opera Mini is discussed here.8Thanks Ultra!! Nice job!
Note for people who use WP7 Root Tools 0.12 Policy Unlock: it can take 2 minutes to unlock. That is normal behavior. Just be patient and let Root Tools do the job.
Thanks Ultra, for making this compatible for users of Policy Unlock! :highfive:

Who said it is supported? Opera Mobile 10/Opera Mini 5.1 don't support it.3
When anyone promised it? As I said few times - MULTITOUCH ISN'T SUPPORTED BY OPERA MINI/MOBILE. G-Sensor for native apps isn't easily implementable. Such implementation would have been slow as hell.
