Scroll Fix for WM6.1 - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I dunno who all has played with PIE WM6.1, the quick zoom is wonderful, but PIE runs god awful slow, worse so than on wm6.0 without scroll fix. I was wondering if there was a fix for this, or is this something we'll have to wait on MS for, if they can ever make it work half way decent. (I noticed in that Moto Q WM6.1 video, it ran just as terrible)
EDIT: Forgot to mention that i applied the scrollfix from 6.0 to it, it made it fast as hell, but disabled the quick zoom feature.

Sorry, edited OP with it.

zephxiii, i have exactly the same problem. Just tried IEMobile 6.1 on my Dell Axim, and yeah the scroll fix disabled "Zoom Out" feature. Of course maybe i can delete webview.dll but then i would lose the speed. I don't know what to do! Please, somebody, help me???

any suggestions?

How can I get rid of the scroll fix? I just want to test the zoom-out feature.

rename webview.dll with resco explorer soft reset device

Thanks. Renaming with TotalCommander didn't help, wil try Resco Explorer 6.17 (I hope there is a free trial...).

Are you on a leaked WM6.1?

No I'm running WM 6.0 on a Polaris with the new IE from 6.1 installed.
Resco says webview.dll is in ROM and cannot be deleted or renamed.
EDIT: Now I could overwrite all the files (including webview.dll) with those from WM6.1 using Resco but there is still no zoom function. Any ideas?
EDIT: I noticed that there is now an option which says "high resolution" under menu-->view. That option wasn't there before but it does nothing.

well I flashed the WM6.1 TNT series ROM onto my wizard which is a different OS build. PIE performance is significantly better!

Obviously beta, very good ui!
The feel of the program is very good. Cant wait until the release of 9.5.
a bit slow but feels great and the ui rocks too! with double tap on the screen you can zoom in or out!
love it - v9.5 should be good. I don't think it is slow
but this version seems to be for vga screens - all of the controls are huge. or is that just me?
how do you uninstall? ):
The icons are big for me too.
Also can't see it in 'Remove Programs' - oh dear!
The icons do appear to be in vga but if you press and hold on a webpage you can select to switch to landscape and all the buttons are visible - settings, transfers etc. I find it very useable even with the big icons as it automatically returns to fullscreen thereby hiding all icons.
its rubish if u ask me there is no uninstall and im now having to re flash my hermes to stop opera from opening every .cab i put on my phone!
i can understand it a beta but ive never had this problem with other opera software...
can anyone figure out a way to uninstall this. i don't want to hard rest my htc touch
Delete the programm folder, shortcuts and registry data
8 MB for installation needed^^. I'm trying storage card...
I told it to install to the storage card, but it looks like it's installed it in program memory anyway

yep same here...
after testing it for about 10 minutes i can say:
1. UI is well made, tabbed browsing is great
2. it's not as responsive and fast as opera mini which is kind of sad
3. as described it seems to be vor vga only, so it looks kinda odd...
4. did you try logging in into some site? it will allways put a blank in between two letters. i can't log in into anything with this browser
still, better than netfront. then again, i think i'll stick to opera mini 4
Plus it's taken over as the default browser
opera beta
Seems to run very slow! UI is very bad. This looks like it has a long way to go
opera
where did you find this beta?
qvga skin
overwrite the original with the attached skinfile in \Application Data\Opera9\skin
... there are surely some glitches, since i just shrunk the files in 50% of their size with irfanview

Opera Hardware Keyboard Fix

As I seen through lots of research most people are having problems with the hardware keyboard functioning in Opera. Can someone with development experience create a fix for this? I can elaborate on the issue as I've researched it but I think most people are familiar with this issue.
This would be amazing if it could be done. It's the issue that's keeping me from using 9.5.
I go through the same thing. But instead of the touch keyboard, i use the regular keyboard.
wich is the last version of opera 9.5 wicht is comnpatible to the htc wizard hardware keyboard?
The stock installation on my Xperia might work, its optimized for hardware keyboards and works w...err, lets say better than the other builds floating around It's for VGA devices, you'd have to find a skin for QVGA, there's some floating around the forums here or you just back up your old one (\Windows\Opera9\skin\standard_skin.zip) and copy it back after the installation.
Edit: Uploaded here [Link]. Its Build 2141 direcly pulled from an XPERIA X1. This version puts its files (settings, config files, cache, skin, ...) in \Application Data\Opera9 instead of \Windows\Opera9 as HTC builds do.
Please report back if it worked for you so that other know, if they can try.
thx......ill give it a try. but i want an sd card installation ;-)

hmmm....i´ve tryed it.....i get an error on setup.
something like: "not the right rom version"

Can you please just pull out the Opera9.exe and OperaL.exe ( I think thats what they are ), so that we may just do an update to keep our qvga skins, and bypass the install problem? That might just do the trick..
Thanks much!
Rytt
good idea....this schuld be working
So i guess its agreed that there is no fix out there. Time to roll up our sleeves and come up with something. This problem is annoying a lot of people and keeping many from using the software at all.

Use Opera Mobile 1184! It works perfectly with the keyboard, able to uninstall (since it's on the SD card) and if the files are posted here that I've requested and if it works, viola! Fast Opera + Perfect Keyboard.
I still wonder why I have heard no news of Touch Pro's Opera working with Tilt's keyboard. Any thoughts?

Everyone else that I spoke to said that build was slower. Can anyone confirm one way or the other?
Have you guys with the keyboard problem tried the 1957 build? I have it on my Mogul and don't have any problem with either the on screen or the device keyboard.
Here is the link for 1957 with SD installation that is uninstallable...(This version also puts its files; settings, config files, cache, skin, ... in \Application Data\Opera9 instead of \Windows\Opera9 as HTC builds do).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425268
It is also faster than the 23xx versions except for the latest build 2745

Build 1957 works fine on my x7510 (no keyboard problem neither autorotation problem). Now I'm trying Opera build 2520 extracted from the latest oficial Omnia ROM. There is no problem with the keyboard and seems faster than build 1957.

Where do you get 2520? Do you have a cab or the upgrade? Also, are the files installed in \Windows\ or \Application folder?
sorry guys for not keeping up with the thread, I was quite busy lately. Unfortunately I'm on the go right now and cant upload the requested 2141 files. Ill do that once I get home, hang on a little longer...
Question which I have, is which build the Touch Pro features and if Flash will run in that version respectively in the 19xx builds mentioned abovee... While flash is not a must I'd like to have it none the less.

I extracted it directly from the Omnia ROM. So there is no cab (although I can try to create a cab with this build).
The files are instaled on \Application Data\Opera9, just like build 1957 (also from a omnia ROM). In fact, the files on the new build are almost equal to the ones on build 1957.

That would be awesome if you could make a cab of 2520 for SD install. Also, does it have the zoom like 1957 where you slide your finger on the right side of the screen? Or is it like the 23xx versions where you tap on the up arrow, then the zoom icon, then zoom slider? I really like the 1957 zoom, it is much easier and intuitive to use.
Thanks!

Zoom is like in build 1957. For those that want a quick upgrade from version 1957 extract this files to \windows folder.

lol guess you were too greedy - always wanted the lastest build. may be try to uninstall the opera you added, to see if the old opera comes back.

nope! still did not work.maybe i'm doing something wrong.if i select the operaL.exe it opens but from the internet tab through touch flow when i click browse nothing happens.maybe its not finding the file! i'm not sure.hummmm
thanks for your response!
still not getting my opera to lunch.I downloaded the original opera files from here.placed them in the opera9 folder located in device/window etc.it would lunch from there but not the browser tab in touch flow.its driving me nuts!!! and I hate using internet explorer!lol ;o
suggestions?
cheers.
if operaL launches but tf3d doesn't, the problem is tf3d, not opera. install manila patcher (find it searching for SSMaPa). Init it: you don't need to patch anything, but you can see if something else has been connected with the globe in internet tab. If so, you can always re-enable opera via SSMaPa.(btw: i too did install last month the new build and then went back to the original, but had no such problems)
Can anyone tell me what version of Opera is this?
Thanks,

Opera Mobile 9.5 build 15316 VGA

As above.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?myj5ykiyit0
Have fun.
already using this in your beta 7 diamond rom. works great! thanks alot!
I am not able to install the cab on my xperia. it tells me that i am using the wrong rom version?
does this support flash plugin?
Is there a QVGA version of this build?
what are the files i need to ugrade my current cooked version. I've upgraded before with two files but i forgot which can someone let me know which files. to put in the opera folder.
OperaL.exe and Opera9.exe
I would also like to have these 2 files only. VGA version please
This version is not that good. It needs very much time to start and the zoom slider is not there.
What do you mean, zoom slider is not there?
Does it have the invisible zoom slider on the right, or the zoom slider that is activated by the button on the left bottom?
Works perfectly on my stock sprint rom on touch diamond, thanks a lot
Can't install on my kaiser, says something like wrong ROM (even though it is qvga, i just wanted to get the exes).
Curious what kind of zoom slider it has?
Does flash work?
Anyone in for making a qvga cab or the seperate exes?

100% FALSE
Where is this build extracted from?
Been using it for a while now.
Looks really nice, boots up instantly, pages render perfectly and quickly, text looks great, zooming and panning are flawless.
Amazing build. =]
It starts up very fast after I did a soft reset - starting it immediately after installation yielded a slow startup. However, there isn't a zoom button at the bottom left of the screen, and I don't think there's the "sceret slider" either, like the Omnia.

No zoom button? That's a nightmare.
as i said i'm using a cooked version of opera build 15316, but i do have the zoom in the bottom left. i did notice one thing though, it does not appear on local pages like help and about opera, but is there at www.htc.com. i'm looking at it right now, its there!

I installed it over build 15202, so that might have screwed things up. I actually prefer the "ring" zoom though, so no loss.
anybody got a mirror? thx

[Q] Opera

Currently, I'm running Itje's Touch-IT v7 ROM. The built-in Opera doesn't support the HW keyboard, but it does support push internet.
My problem is that it doesn't do what I want it to! Who can help me find an opera that does what I want it to? I'd like to see at least a version number and link when you suggest something.
What I'm looking for:
1) Most important of all: HW Keyboard support.
2) Would love to see the vertical slider on the right side of the screen to control zooming.
3) Support for the TF3D Internet tab bookmarks.
4) The latest version supporting above features (less bugs!).
5) No need for push internet. (what is push internet anyway!?)
Above list is in order of importance. If anyone can point me to one with the first two features, I'd be thrilled already. ^_^
If many people will post links, I'll be making this post a comprehensive list of opera versions and features for the X1.
Opera 16194 - X1 - Link
Speed: Scrolling is very smooth, overall pretty responsive.
Zooming: No on-screen zoom, but volume button zoom works fine.
Input: HW keyboard works fine, as well as SIP.
TF3D Compatibility: Bookmarks will be visible when the opera6.adr file is put in windows\Opera9. You'll have to manually select them as push pages to show up in TF3D.
Thanks in advance!

Alrighty, the newest X1 Opera is pretty good. Does anyone know of one with the on-screen zoom slider? It used to be in Itje's Touch-IT 4.5 rom iirc.
i saw that one in default HTC opera... but hw keyboard wasnt working on those
Maybe you guys can help me out. Im running the default opera browser but recently have been receiving a message "the requested page can not be displayed" Any ideas as to what the problem is. It onlt occurs with some websites and just recently began to cause this problem.

You people can try the version found in the Jack's ROM topic. See in UC package template.

didnt see this version with working hw keyboard for xperia
has there been any update on this ?
is there a current version that supports all of the features metioned on the first page ?
i'm currently using build 2532 and i can't use a few sites and it crashes randomly whereas the version that came with the stock rom was just fine. :-(
I tried to install build 16194 posted in the link, but it failed and said the device was not "authorized". Does anyone know what could be the problem?
maybe u need sdk certs dunno just guess
Thanks. I resolved the problem. Did a hard reset and restored using Sprite backup, then installed Build 16194. Now the hardware keyboard works fine.
