Opera Mini 4.2 as default help

[mikenerd]

What is the best way to get opera mini to be the default browser in 6.1?

I am currently using wm6_sd_operadefault.cab and it works intermittently. I think is was written for 4.1 and I'm using 4.2 so, maybe that is why. I wish it would work all the time because when it does, its great. I tried the mortscript method on my old 6800 and it never worked right. I am relectant to try that method again until I get a few responces from the forum since I cannot find any recent posts about this.

Thanks
Mike

Easiest way for me, but im not sure if the mini is the same.,


HKLM > SOFTWARE > MICROSOFT > SHELL > RAI > DEFBROWSER
change values to this:
0 > Opera Mobile
1 > \Windows\OperaL.exe
Soft reset your phone. Opera will now be your default browser!

Unfortunately, its not that easy since opera mini uses java. I wish I could just figure out why the defaultopera.cab doesnt work all the time. sucky.

yeah, putting OperaL.exe is the link for Opera Mobile, not Opera Mini...

Opera Mini (not to be confused with Opera Mobile) is a java based program. It does not run native in Windows like most programs. To run Opera Mini, you first use a Java bed. Inside of the java bed, you then select Opera Mini. So it's like a program inside of a program.

I saw this on xda-forum. It may work for 4.2, but I'm not sure.
