Oh no. [Opera Issue]

So, I downloaded Opera Mini (whatever version is on the site right now, I assume it's the most recent one) and while installing I conveniently ignored the warning that this Opera would replace the old one.

Of course, it finished trying and finally admitted that it was unsuccessful, but now, if I run Opera (via anything, Internet tab, the browser soft key, all programs) it does nothing. (Nothing, as if I hadn't even pressed the button). Any way I can remove this version and get the old one back; or even better, remove the old one (fixing the bugs) and replacing everything with the new one?

Also, I think a cooked ROM might fix it, but I have no idea how those work.

Did you try to install it to the device or the storage card? You should install it to the device.

you can also just backup and hardreset.

Opera Mini replaced your Opera Mobile? Have you tried uninstalling Opera Mini?

I'm going to assume the OP meant Opera Mobile.

Well, I clicked on Opera Mini, (hearing that it was superior to Mobile, hmm) and it replaced Mobile, and when I go to settings-->remove programs, Opera isn't even on the list. Any way I can find the stock Opera that came with the TP (CDMA/Sprint)? It feels like the most viable solution at the moment.

and yes, I did install to device.

When the program is cooked into the ROM, whether it's a stock from Sprint or locally cooked, it will not be available as a program that you can uninstall. Only programs that you load yourself can be uninstalled individually. You won't be able to uninstall Opera Mobile. BUT! A hard-reset (after saving everything with PIM Backup, of course) will take care of what ails ya'. Good luck.

Opera Mini is a java application that can only be ran within a Java program. I find it hard to believe that it could replace Opera Mobile on your device.
