Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

For some odd reason IE is my default browser... is there a way to default it back to Opera?

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

This happened to me as well after installing Skyfire. I have been told that the only way to get it back is to hard reset which sucks and not load Skyfire. so I'll keep ie as the default to have Skyfire but maybe someone else has a solution. Go Steelers.

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

After installing skyfire just install opera again that will make opera default again.

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

good point. I guess you can use opera 2649 or 2675 then to overwrite back to opera. if you are on the stock rom, you are out of luck though. thanks.

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

you can't overwrite opera because its part of the rom.. you'll end up with 2 versions.

i ran into the problem. opening opera didn't fix it. when i open a link in a txt, it goes to pie now.

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

I had the same problem. It's a simple reg edit fix.
you have to edit these registry keys.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER
"0"=Opera Browser
"1"=\Windows\OperaL.exe


that should do it for you.

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

That regedit worked like a charm, thanks!

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

Np. Glad i could help.

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

Under : DEFBROWSER I have no keys at all. Are you saying I should make new keys? DWORDs, string value? What should I be doing? Thanks in advance for the help!

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

I'd actually like IE as my default browser.
On Mighty's rom it runs way faster

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

wouldnt installing it again overwrite ur current files (bookmarks etc?)

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

I followed these steps and then did a soft reset. Wsed CERegEditor to make the edit, but PIE is still the default browser!!

All pages and links open with PIE. This is starting to piss me off tremendously.

Anyone have any ideas??

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

Sorry guys nevermind, I realized that its just the Sprint Store that loads in PIE.

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

So i had this exact same problem after checking SkyFire as my default browser and decided it wasn't the best for everything i do, I then had ALL of my email links and other sources opening in PIE. i spent hours (about 3) searching, to no avail, i gave up and set SkyFire as the default again.. somewhere in between then and the next day, Opera had become the default browser for everything on its own.

btw. The Sprint Music Store opens up on Opera on my phone.

Summary : No Reg Edits (even though i was looking for them) no trickery in the settings or anything, Opera became default by ... default

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

I re-installed the original CAB file & it seemed to make Opera mobile the default browser again. The CAB in found @ \Windows\WM6_PPC_HTC_Opera9_WWE.

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

worked for me!! I searched everywhere too, finally i found the solution.

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

I did the above regedit, but decided that PIE is better for quick browsing. What values to I need to put in to switch back to PIE?

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

Yea This doesn't work someone take this thread down I cant find this in regedit

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

Use the attached cab.

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

I had the settings. If they don't exist, you want to add them, the following are the entries you need and the types:

0 Type:"String" Value:"Opera Browser"
1 Type:"String" Value:"\Windows\OperaL.exe"
2 Type:"DWORD" Value:"1" Base:"Decimal"
3 Type:"DWORD" Value:"0" Base:"Decimal"

Hope this helps :)

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

That really did the job thank you very much.

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

I cant find a .cab to make opera the default brower anywhere. Anyone know where one is or able to make one? The steps on post 6 work perfect but I flash so much its alot easier to have sashimi install a .cab then to remember what to edit in the registry each time I flash.

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

bump bump...is there a .cab maker?

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

I opened the registry editor and navigated to the DEFBROWSER and I held down the OperaL and clicked to edit. In the first line, grayed, was a "0". In the next line for MSPIE, there was a "1". But when I try to edit, it doesn't respond either to hitting back space to delete the values and it does not give an edit option when I hold stylus down on the value. Do you know what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks.

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

ya. you are trying to edit the value name. what you need to do is edit the value data.
ex: turn the one that has the 0 from \windows \operal.exe to opera browser. the one that says mspie and has a 1 you cant change, thats the one that needs to habe the value data renamed to \Windows\OperaL.exe.

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

I am trying to create these values for the : DEFBROWSER key since they do not exist, however I keep getting "Error Creating Value". I am using MemMaid to edit the reg. Any guesses as to why?

Only links in mail and txt msgs open up in IE, so I'm hoping this regedit does it.

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

Works like a charm


Try using RegEdit...

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

THANK YOU! RegEdit worked like a charm!
The values were actually there, but MemMaid doesnt display them for some reason.

Anyways it works, thanks guys.

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

Worked for me, thanks. I'm outta of thanks for now, but I will hit you up when I can

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

you can run out of thanks?!??! :drunken:

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

did you ever find a cab for this? tia

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

nm found one... enjoy!

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

cant believe no one knows about this

go in opera type opera:config in address bar click enter. now scroll down to the install tab and click enter, now check the box next to browser first time launch and click save. now exit opera completely and re enter opera again............ thats it, its now your defualt browser again, no cabs, no reg edits, just simple settings editing.

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

I know all about it, but is it sashimi compliant... no, whereas a cab is. that's why i'm a cab guy hehe.

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

Im on Juicy's latest rom and tried the about directions, but IE still loads on links from emails.

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

when i tried it it worked fine... make sure you exit opera completely and then restart it... also you can always try the cab i posted here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...0&postcount=33

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

amen!

Re: Make Opera Mobile Default Browser
 

This is really easy to do and worked for me. I had to restart, but it even kept my bookmarks. I was prepared to lose those, since they magically disappeared one day.

Can I set the Opera MINI as default browser?????
