Onscreen zoom can be disabled through the registry. I dont like it either.

The problem I am having is that images sometimes just display as a placeholder. If I am at a site that is primarily photos, then click a photo, the resulting larger image is sometimes a box with the word "image: - sometimes it is not. And it does not matter if the image opens in a new window or the same. I can't seem to figure out why this happens and if there is any pattern to it.

Look for flash lite 3.1. It works, but can be a bit annoying (soft keyboard pops up when you click on a flash object, slower loading of pages with tons of flash elements).

I did install flash lite 3.1 but still not working right with my stock version of Opera. I guess I just have to sit here and hope Fennec is good. But I personaly hate firefox and I've seen video walkthroughs of Fennec and Im not very impressed.

Any problems reinstalling original version after installing another?

Is there a way to get it to not try and change orientation based on the G-Sensor? It's slow and laggy and just ruins the whole experience.

in the url...type...opera:config

This is my main complaint with the stock version on the Diamond, as well.

I believe you can change the registry key HKLM\Software\Opera\GSensor\IdleTime to some large number of miliseconds.

I'm not a huge fan of this, since it feels like a band-aid. I would prefer a permanent fix to just disable the rotation. However, it definitely does what I was looking for, which is it won't rotate if i jiggle it a bit. And usually, what happens is that it basically locks up for like 10-15 seconds while rotating then rotating back unless you hold perfectly still.

I see some g-sensor settings under the HTC software key with threshold settings, but i'm not confident to go playing with those just yet.
