Opera Redirect - Use other browsers with Touch Flo 3D

[JoeWilcox]

I'm a fan of the Iris Browser from Torch Mobile. Seriously, it's a much better browser. But I've always hated that TF3D can't be configured to use it. Well now it can be.

Opera Redirect replaces OperaL.exe and allows you to configure which browser to launch when TF3D needs to connect to the net. You configure it through a simple to use control panel applet and can switch at any time.

Click here to download OperaRedirect.CAB

IMPORTANT make sure you backup the file "OperaL.exe" from your \Windows directory before installing OperaRedirect. This file will be replaced upon installation of the cab and can't be restored. You have been warned.

Known Bugs:

• Once install, Opera no longer functions!
• No proper uninstall
• Alternate Browsers MUST be install in their default paths and in main memory
• Sometimes upon install, the applet doesn't show in the settings | system menu until after a reboot.

ToDo:

• Copy OperaL.exe during installation and fixup the shortcut so Opera can remain functional
• Add support for manually editing the browser to launch

Let me repeat: IMPORTANT make sure you backup the file "OperaL.exe" from your \Windows directory before installing OperaRedirect. This file will be replaced upon installation of the cab and can't be restored. You have been warned.

Has anyone else used this besides me?

 

[TechnoTone]

Yes - I use it. It's great - especially if you're a google user. Having the iPhone customised google pages for gmail/calendar/etc is awesome!

Does this work for Manila 2D?

 

[JoeWilcox]

Does this work for Manila 2D?

No idea. It should if Manila 2D launches the same exe for Opera.

 

[Supertrooper]

Thank you. Works just as described. Now I get Skyfire to launch with tf3d.

we're on the same boat.. i just converted from Opera to Iris fan few minutes ago after experiencing Iris v1.1.7 just now... i saw your post in Iris blog and i'm downloading your cab.. i hope it works fine on my HTC Touch Pro WM6.5 Shep's ROM

Nice work bro

Sadly, Opera Redirect does not work with a Topaz / Touch Diamond 2. I would really like to open Iris browser with the TouchFlo Internet tab. Opera redirect's setup only sees Internet explorer, not Iris.....

 

[JoeWilcox]

Did you install Iris in to the default location?

 

[AnnieBal]

Hi Joe; It seems a mod has removed all of my messages instead of the last one only First I would like to thank You for developing Opera Redirect. I hope I can ask You some things about it:

I managed to get Iris going. I can invoke Iris from the TouchFlo Internet tab. In my Dutch ROM, the default install path is "Programmabestanden\Iris Browser". So moved the Iris Browser folder to "Program Files" instead of "Programmabestanden". Opera Redirect could now see Iris and set it as default. The only thing is that if I start Iris from the Internet tab by tapping the globe, it opens with an address line in the top of the window that shows "about:blank", with a little button "Go" in the left top corner. Rest of the screen is grey and left... blank. If I fill in something in the search bar above the globe, and tap the spyglass, Iris starts and performs a scan with Google, which I set as home page, and directly displays the search results. I really would love to see that when I tap the globe, Iris starts and displays my home page instead of the about:blank page. Are You familiar with this? Also when I soft reset my device, Iris starts automatically since I set up Opera Redirect & Iris.

Hope You can point me in the right direction,

regards,

André

if anyone manages to download it from rapidshare, could they post as an attachment, it's only 16KB, then you don't have to screw with:

"This file can only be downloaded by becoming a Premium member. There are no more download slots available for free users right now."

I HATE RAPIDSHARE

EDIT:

attached the original cab off of rapidshare, enjoy!

I love this program, I installed in on my Touch hd, needed to update .net framework but then it worked fine, but it doesn't seem to have support for Opera 10 Beta, It would be nice that this could be possible because it is so much better than the old opera.

Any help from someone?

 

[PurpleSkyz]

I took came here to make opera 10 my TF3D defaut (that opera 10 is AMAZING, not thing like all the others, untill Fennec comes out)

1) Cannot select opera 10
2) I have to click twice for IE to launch, to be more precise, it launches One in Two. Weird

Otherwise, great great app

 

[PurpleSkyz]

Ok I found a way to get opera 10 Working!

Just install rename the Opera 10 folder in Program Files Skyfire and rename the Opera10-armv4i.exe to Skyfire.exe

Still when I select the Earth icon in tf3d, it opens Opera 10 one out of two times...i really have to figure that one out :/

EDIT: I take that back, it doesnt do the one one two thingy with opera 10. Perfect, that whole opera 9 forced on me really bothered me.

@Joe
Great Work Man!
I would ask for one very small change that I would gladly make a donation for, and that I believe would address a fairly large niche that it otherwise lost;
people using cooked roms on X1 like 'Touch-it Xperience'.
Your program is the only thing among a sea of suggested regedits that can redirect my browser, nothing else works.
The small change I humbly request is for the program to recognize Opera 10 in it's default storage card path:
"\Storage Card\Program Files\Opera Mobile\Opera10-armv4i.exe"
Please !
