Opera Mini 5 Beta 2 as the default browser...

[InsomniacJedi]

Running Mighty ROM on my Sprint Touch Pro2!

So I've set Opera Mini 5 Beta 2 as my default browser using a registry editor.

My problem is that when I launch it by tapping "Launch Browser" it launches Java and instead of going straight to the browser it puts up a white screen with "Opera Mini 5 beta 2" highlighted and the options on the soft keys to "Launch" or "Menu"

Any idea on how to make it go straight to Opera Mini without the need to ask permission?

How is this done?

Get a registry editor for your touch pro2.

Next, edit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER (Had to put a space between : and D because it kept making the emoticon , but in reality there should not be a space.)

When you choose the : DEFBROWSER there will be options to change some values.

The value that has the file path leading to Opera or PocketIE, whichever is your default, should be changed to the file path that leads to your Opera Mini install.

For example, mine said "Windows\blahblahblah\Opera9.exe or something like that.

It now says "Program Files\Opera Mini\jbed.exe" and the quotes do have to be there or else it won't work.

But like I said, right now it launches Java and then you have to actually choose to launch the Beta from there. I've got no idea how to change that from happening.

Try adding something like -run "s1_" to the end of the path.

So mine is like:

"\Storage Card\Program Files\Opera Mini\jbed.exe" -run "s1_"

The 1 may be a 0 or 2 on your setup.

If you click on an link from an email, does it load up that address to? Do your shortcuts on the Internet tab work? Or does this just allow you to click on the globe on the internet tab to open Opera Mini?

Try This: "\Storage Card\Opera Mini 5\OperaMini5-WM-armv4i"

***NOTE THAT I USE THE storage card path BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE MINE IS AND IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM.

dont forget the .exe at the end!


by the way...this works for the tab in TF3D - but that seems to be about it. when i click on links in my email, rss reader, etc... it still launches Opera Mobile 9.5

any thoughts on how to make mini the default for these types of things ???

Hey, I did the [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\EFBROWSER] ab -> 1 -> "\Storage Card\Program Files\Opera Mini 5\OperaMini5-WM-armv4i.exe" ....... This made Opera Mini my default browser for everything - TF3D, links in email, sms msgs, etc.....

just sayin'
