[TIP] How to make Opera Mobile 10 the default browser

WBFAir said:

Hey guys just thought I would make a post that I finally was able to get Opera10 as my default for the TF3D internet tab.

So along with, installing it and replying yes to the default thing and using the Make it the default cab here on this tread, and with adding the proper lines in InternetPortal-en-US.xml, what I found finally did it was to set the parameter, Internet.SetOperaForeground found at HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila from 1 to 0.

After that I get Opera10 from that tab, as well too all the parameters in InternetPortal-en-US.xml like the default start page are all working now!

Good stuff.

So far the only thing that won't start in Opera10 is the More Detail Online>> thing on the Weather page.

At any rate just thought would post about that one and btw if anyone knows how to remove those 4 add a push page options and the search banner box from that tab please let me know.

Thanks.

how to set it on german rom

Hi,

I installed the Opera 10 B3 Repack (No Prompts/Flash Lite/Rotation/More) from here: http://xdaforums.com/show...postcount=1458 on my Touch HD (german stock rom) first on the storage card and then in main memory. But none of it makes it the default browser.

I tried "JZ SmartMort" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=382043 but it didn't find my opera mobil 10 on the storage card too.

Is there a way or cab to set it as default browser for german rom on storage card?

bye
daywalker72

can someone make a cab to chagne the NEW opera mini 5 to default browser? http://www.opera.com/press/releases/2010/03/04/

after mucking around with all these reg hacks... i gave up.

FIX:
1. Download and reinstall the application to the same location it was installed before.
2. At the end, it will prompt you asking to set as default browser. Select YES.

Don't worry, your settings and bookmarks are untouched. no reboots required after...

Below are the values that are set by Opera Mobile 10 in the registry... I cooked them into my ROM and they work (I'm using a Touch HD with mostly Diamond2 OEMs).

I have attached a CAB file in case you need it.


EDIT: The line quoted below with "DEFBROWSER" in it has a space after the D, due to the formatting limitations of this site for long words. Just take out the space.

Hi!

And THANKS for this, my problem with the new Opera 10 (Ninja Duck's version) was not to make it the default browser, it was to get the URL's from within a mail to open Opera 10 and this reg tweak did it for me. I'm so happy!

Just a couple of questions since i can't use your cab since i use a Swedish device with Program instead of Program Files.

Can i just copy and paste your reg listing here into a text file, change the path to mine and rename it to .reg and import it into my device? If i mind the space after the D EFBROWSER of course

If so, just ONE more question:

Since i have installed on my SD Card (Minneskort in Swedish), must i enter this path somewhere? If so where and how?

@="\"\\Program\\Opera Mobile 10\\Opera10-armv4i.exe\" %1"
"backup"="iexplore.exe %1"

Should it be:

@="\"\Minneskort\Program\\Opera Mobile 10\\Opera10-armv4i.exe\" %1"
"backup"="iexplore.exe %1"

Or is'nt necessary?

I'm not THAT good at this

Thanks again! Now i can use my e-mail links!

Hi!

Must ask you since you seem to know what you're doing

I have taken the reg fix from this thread and edited it so it fits my Swedish device with Program path instead of Program Files. Now when i try to import it it won't import or at least it does not change the values.

What format must a .reg file be saved in?
And i have removed some spaced lines from his reg listing... is that wrong?

Look here:

yeah, it depends on where opera was installed.
search "oper*.exe" within the \windows or \Program files directory, or even the storage card to locate it.
Then change the value of reg key mentioned above to the oper*.exe's full path, use "" if there is space within the path.

for me , its "\program files\opera mobile 10\opera10-armv4i.exe"

It worked fine for me. I set it to "\Program Files\Opera Mobile 10\Opera10-armv4i.exe" and it worked perfectly. Both Launch Browser and the favorite icons worked. For reference, I am on a Touch Pro with Manila 2.5.

WBFAir said:

I installed in on my device, actually I don't even have a card yet.

I tell ya, I could be wrong but I'm really thinking this must be something that is hard coded into the Verizon Launcher programs.

Last night I spent hours going over the registry searching for OperaL, Opera9 and even just Opera and I couldn't find anything that either wasn't already changed, or was completely irrelevant, at least as far as I could tell.

The only thing I wondered about was that there were a few entries in the Task Manger thing which I left as they were all zero'ed from what I'm thinking is as a result of a memory saving cab I installed.

An yes I installed Opera 10 before I installed the cab.

So, so far everything else I know will open Opera 10 but my TF3D Browser tab and Weather Tab if I click on the "more info" will not, which ironically are the very two I would want more then anything.

I have TMobile and i have the same exact problem. I cannot get Opera 10 to launch from the Internet tab. It launches Opera 9. Opera 10 IS the default browser

BINGO!!! Thank you!

I have the AT&T Tilt 2, stock ROM. My problem is the push page links on the Internet tab. I have everything opening with Opera Mobile 10 including the search box and the "launch web browser" globe on the Internet tab. When I use the "add a new push page" links, after adding a url to them and clicking on the push page link, Opera 9 opens instead of Opera Mobile 10. I have tried nearly every solution on this site that I have been able to find and a few solutions on other sites but none of them work to open Opera Mobile 10 when the push page links are used.

hi, I've tried multiple suggestions from this thread and nothing seems to work for me. could somebody point me in the right direction? I've got HTC HD with what I think is the following ROM - 1.56.405.1 (43972) WWE

I've just reinstalled my Opera 10 and replied YES to the question about the default browser. I've also checked the register and saw that the path in /HKLM/ was set to /HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai/EFBROWSER/1/"\Program Files\Opera10-armv4i.exe". I've tried changing it to Windows (copying Opera folder first), I've also tried both of the cabs in this thread - nothing seems to work. Any advice would be very much appreciated, thanks

HTC HD2

Worked just fine for me!

I need this cab for german rom I cant open links from mails or twitter, cant open html files ... nothing always get an error with "opera10-armv4i" error (..........)

For all the people, who are still struggling to change your default browser to your choice, please google for 'fureteur4ppc', Out of the box, this program has most of the typical browsers to choose from, so that you can set them as default browser or you can paste the browser EXE file link, so that it will be set as default Browser.

The only draw back is, this software is not in English.

To setup custom browser as a default browser, launch the application and do the following.
1. Click on 'Tests blah blah' button, to check the installed browsers.
2.Click on the button saying 'Mon Choix' and enter your browser exe file path.
3. After that, click on 'Valider' button, to check the accuracy of the file path.

That should do the job. Soft Reset and test the default browser..

For Diamond users with Opera Mobile 10 installed to their Internal Storage, I've edited dsixda's registry edits cab. All credit goes to dsixda for doing the heavy lifting. I just did a quick rearch and replace, then repackaged the xml file into a new CAB.

I tried altering the registry on my HTC Touch HD, but still couldn't change the default browser..

Changing the target in "InternetPortal-en-US.xml” which is located in \Application Data\Manila
DID work !
