FIXED!!
Hi
I found out which settings are required to fix this. Basically, edit input.ini, find the following under [browser widget] and change it as shown below:
Change:
Left = navigate left
Right = navigate right
Up = navigate up
Down = navigate down
to:
Left = Scroll left, 1
Right = Scroll right, 1
Up = Scroll up, 10
Down = Scroll down, 10
This must be what my old Voda X1 had as its default. For me, it makes the optical joystick useful again in Opera cause you can scroll around the whole page, rather than being restricted to navigating between links.
Don't forget the huge array of Opera options available on the config page (enter opera:config into the address bar). Most of these are explained here:

Hi
Having sent back my vodafone X1, i now have an HTC X1, and am noting the differences between the two.
On the voda X1, the optical joystick could be used to scroll around a page (without highlighting any links).
On the HTC X1, the optical joystick works more like A 4 way tab button, the page moves, but the links keep getting highlighted.
The highlighting od the linka means that smooth scrolling does not happen.
Anyone know how to make opera behave like it did on the voda X1? i want my smooth scrolling back!
Nigel
My no brand italian X1 works like your "htc" x1.
In IE instead works like "vodafone" x1.
Start > settings > System > Optical Joystick > Allow scrolling iirc
nice hint! thx
Would be nice if it brought up a little mouse... it does this in Opera Mini (probably because Mini is made to have a mouse for all phones using the d-pad).
Hi
All the options under 'optical joystick' in settings are turned on. This does not enable me to pan around the page in opera like I used to be able to with my previous X1 - rather, the optical joystick just moves a highlight between the links on the page.
Previously the links on the page were ignored, and the joystick just moved the page about.
Basically it is now working like a cursor key rather than offering the ability to freely pan about the screen like before.
Must be a registry setting somewhere... either that, or the voda X1 that I had had a newer version of opera installed.
Pain in the arse whatever it is - I had gotten used to using the joystick, now I am back to flicking the screen with the stylus.

Hi
Here ia my opera.ini can someone with a voda x1 or an x1 on which the joystick works properly in opera post theirs? you'll find it under application data.

Hi
Thanks for that, unfortunately is it not a setting in that file. I have a suspicion that the setting I want is hiding away in input.ini - would you be able to paste the contents of this file (from a voda X1)?
Cheers
Nigel
I have a HTC X1 (unbranded) and the dpad it works both ways in Opera, though I did not really figure out when it scrolls and when it is in "cursor mode".
One thing is for sure: If there is one link framed (pre-selected), than the dpad works in cursor mode, if you tab on an area without any link then the dpad works in scroll mode - sometimes.
It's really a litte bit weired.
Wanted input.ini from Vodafone X1
Hi
Can someone post the contents of their input.ini file from a (UK) Vodafone X1
Application Data\Opera9\input.ini
Pretty Please?!
Nigel
Sorted!
Worked out how to do this, see updated post on first page
Nigel
Hi bro.
With your settings works, but also normal pad works with scroll. So no metod for select links as it is.
Indeed
I cant remember if on my vodafone, the d-pad still moved the cursor around the links or not. To be honest, I tend to tap the links.
Something is still different from my voda - on that, I could pan to the right hand side of the screen, and then scroll down, while keeping to the right hand side. With what I posted, the screen view moved back towards the left as you panned down.
If I could persuade someone with a (UK) vodafone Xperia to post their input.ini file it would save me guessing!

Has the same problem, which keeps moving to left whenever moving up or down. So weird...
Thanks a lot for the tip on modifying the .ini file to make the optical pad navigate through the entire webpage rather than through the links. Makes the browsing experience a lot more pleasent. Now if only the would implement the formatting of text depending on how far in we zoom into the webpage like the Touch Pro...

Hi artesea
Cheers for posting that - its the same as in mine so it looks like the scrolling about on my old voda was not achieved by mods to input.ini performed by vodafone.
Guess I'll stick with that I have. Are you able to confirm that on your voda, like on my old one, the optical joystick lets you pan freely about the screen (w/o getting caught on links). I.e 'scrolling' rather than 'navigating' in Opera speak?
If so, when you scroll to the right hand side of a zoomed in page and then scroll down, does the view stay on the right, or does it revert back to the left as you scroll down?
Nigel
It's a UK Vodafone branded X1. When in Opera if I use to optical the page moves around in the direction I scroll. There is no panning to the left when moving down the right hand side of the page.
To move between links I can use the 4 way, although sometimes this doesn't work.
How do you open .ini files in X1?
I can't find any Text Editors. How about Word Mobile?
I want to make some changes to
frameworks/policies/base/phone/com/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager.java
(I want to change the function of a long key press)
Is there a way I can make my changes and add them to an existing system.img? Or do I need to make my own system image from scratch?
Either way, is there a guide for how you are building yours?
Here's what I want to change if anyone is able to help:
I really want to add the recent apps key back...replacing the power off menu with recent apps. My new key layout has no HOME key.
I modified the code, but have no idea how to build it. Can anyone help me out?
Below is the output from "repo diff". This should launch the recent apps box instead of global actions.

So we're loosing the power off menu? I thought that it wasnt all that good to soft reset and not let Android shut down properly. What about long-press power like it used to be mapped?
I PM'ed you mssmison.
I agree, loosing the power off button is not ideal. I've been trying to find a way to make a shortcut for it instead.
A better solution would be to have the recent apps menu come up on long press of the camera/back button (currently long press does nothing) or the call key (currently voice dial, I'd be ok giving that up).
However, I don't know how to change those particular keys.

Yeah, long press cam makes sense..."go back to all previous apps" And double press cam for landscape. When you turn the phone that way your finger naturally hits it.
