having to understand one important item in this, Opera is hard-coded into Manila/Touchflo currently and cant be "removed" without breaking the UI right off the bat, BUT, there is a way to eliminate Opera yourself by fooling Manila/Touchflo into believing Opera is still there...

Step one - rename a COPY of IExplore.exe to OperaL.exe (will need a file manager total commander, resco file explorer, etc) to copy and paste elsewhere. (this also works with skyfire.exe or miniMO's executable)

Step 2 - Make sure you know what version of Opera is on your device or is with your custom ROM your using and download a copy of it to your storage card (or wherever) important its the same version or else youll end up with 2 icons and only 1 is functional

Step 3 - disable touchflo from SETTINGS>TODAY>ITEMS and then using your file manager of choice copy the OperaL.exe you made or downloaded from here to \windows

Step 4 - reintall Opera onto your storage card

Step 5 - go back into SETTINGS>TODAY>ITEMS and select Touchflo and close the settings pages and goto to your internet tab and test - IE should open up with Google.com as the default homepage

** if you are wanting to use skyfire or MiniMo then just rename the executables for those as you would for IE and follow the steps above and your all set

then after that you can then uninstall Opera completely as it will be listed in the "remove program settings", granted some files within \windows and the like will be orphaned but a good system tool can find those and clean those out reliably for you
