Tip for browsing with Opera Mobile 9.7 on the HD - Touch HD General

Adaptive Zoom
Don’t want to zoom to click a link? Try this..
1. Open opera’s preference editor by going to the following link:
opera:config
Note there is no http:// proceeding the link.
2. Click on Adaptive Zoom and try the following settings:
Browser Buffer Height = 4096
Browser Buffer Width = 800
Maximum Zoom = 100
Minimum Overview Zoom = 100
Minimum Zoom = 100
Virtual Screen Width = 800
Zoom Slider Maxinmum = 200
This should set your screen up so it no long needs to zoom to click a link but also makes the virtual page width the same size as the screen in landscape mode.

Hi,
thanks for the Tip ... but,
In 9.7b1 I can't find:
- Maximum Zoom
- Maximum Overview Zoom
- Minimum Zoom
- Zoom Slider Maximum
in 9.5 they exist but not in 9.7

not sure if it's something i've done, but after making those changes i can't launch Opera any more!!
I get the htc loading page for about about 20 seconds and then it just closes - anyone else had this problem or know how to solve?

It also makes the text tiny.
Does anyone have the original settings please, stupidly I did not note them down.

In Opera 9.5 i have the following settings which allow me to open links without zooming. Min overview zoom is the only changed variable.
Browser Buffer Height = 1400
Browser Buffer Width = 960
Maximum Zoom = 200
Minimum Overview Zoom = 85
Minimum Zoom = 160
Virtual Screen Width = 960
Zoom Slider Maxinmum = 500

So will altering these settings change the width of text elements and reduce the amount of zoom? I'm running this on an HX4700 with a 4.0" screen (I know, I'm getting my touch HD in less than 30 hours). When the zoom action happens, it automatically zooms to the width of the column element (ingenious) so I can scroll throught he column without side scrolling. However the width of the elements are too narrow and as such causes the zoom to be too high. I'd like to use the 4" display and VGA rez to read smaller but more amount of text.

I've no idea mate sorry. I just copies and writes up what i sees

Get a hold of opera.ini >>windows>opera9
edit the file, the first few lines are the ones you will need to change.
Just copied this from mine..
[Adaptive Zoom]
Minimum Zoom=160
Minimum Overview Zoom=70
Browser Buffer Height=1400
Browser Buffer Width=960
Maximum Zoom=200
Virtual Screen Width=960
Zoom Slider Maximum=500
after changing back, having had the same problem you did...
Good Luck

Just note that with this tweak you will lose the ability to trigger mouseover action for links.

I could only imagine it being in the one of the following
\Windows
\Windows\Opera
Possible \Application Data but unlikely I think.
I'm running the standard 6.1 HTC original ROM.

Forget all that. Everything is running. It didn't go as smooth and understandable as I might have hoped, but it works now. Thanks!

Is there a reg hack so to scroll in smaller increments?

I have the 4-way button set to scroll in my IE. Is there a hack so that it can scroll in smaller increments rather than a whole screen at a time? It'd be less annoying when reading short paragraphs that get cut off.
Only for IE (which normally jumps links when using up/down):
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Edit: Gah - actually, that's wrong. That makes it change from link-to-link to PgUp/PgDn. No 'small scroll' at all. Sorry about that :|

Camera Hack

As I know, in the Registry
Hkey Local Machine\Software\HTC\Camera\RecParam\MP4Medium
Hkey Local Machine\Software\HTC\Camera\RecParam\MP4Small
I am able to change the factory FrameRate value from 10 to 19...
This is good news
Well, the Medium size is 176x144 pixel and Small size is 128x96 pixel by default.
But!
There is another Key :
Hkey Local Machine\Software\HTC\Camera\RecParam\MP4Large, but I am not able to select Large option in the Camera Settings page, just only Small and Medium.
What shell I have to change in the Registry to make Large videosize available in the Camera Settings page ?
(And what dimension should I use by selecting Large ? 320x240 ?)

You can not. there is no 320X240 in Charmer's Video Camera application.
But you can use "CoolCamera" for even 640X480 in video mode.

Camera Blur Gone - Simple Fix

By simply changing the brightness level to -2.0 you will no longer have a blur - it's like changing the ISO on a camera and the FPS will jump by over 50%. check it out in full here: http://www.fuzemobility.com/decrease-the-blur-of-your-camera-really/

Sounds excellent, will try this out!!
EDIT
I have tried this and can find no improvement whatsoever. As kkchan stated below, all I notice is the picture has become darker due to the decrease in brightness level. I have even tried this at -1.0, but still no improvement
Hi,
I tried, no improvement, sometime seem even worst because the photo become darker.

I did it myself on a Touch HD and went from +2 and changed it to -2 and it was a world of difference. At +2 any movement was a blur and at -2 I could move the camera and still get a clean shot

In extreme light situtations (a bright day) there's almost no difference in speed but the HD never had a problem in very high light. The real impact is in moderate to low light. So far there are 2 comments at FuzeMobility both stating that it works effectively and I tested it last night on the HD and took an unusable camera and had something that could take a photo. Did you guys enable the FPS info to see if there was a change?

I had already tried tweaking a number of settings for both the camera & video to get a better pic. This may have had some effect on these new settings. I will play around with it and see what I come up with

What settings if you don't mind? I'm always up for more tweaking I know about decreasing the delay times:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/Captparam/ and set CaptureTimer = 0 and EnableCapKeyDelay = 0 and CapKeyDelayTime = 0
and changing the panaramic photo size...I hope you have a few more though

Basically I read through a lot of threads regarding enhancing camera and have changed numerous things including those mentioned by yourself, some I can't remember to be honest and those mentioned in the wiki listed below. Also using HD Tweak etc
Increase Quality of Photos
To increase the quality of photos, open the Camera, go to Settings, Advanced, then Image Properties. Increase Contrast to 5, Saturation to 5, and Sharpness to 4. Now you will have better definition and much more realistic colours. Also don't forget to choose Super Fine under Quality in Advanced Settings menu.
Reduce Blurriness in Photos
To focus better, have shutter set just to Touch. After you have touched you have the whole three seconds to steady your hand and take a non-blurry photo.
Activate Hidden Photo Modes
You can activate hidden photo modes using the 'HD Tweak' app. Make sure to leave the resolutions for these modes at 1 megapixel though or they may not work properly. For for the more advanced users, use the following reg entries:
To enable Burst mode
Mobile Device\HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P6
set "Enable" on "1"
To enable Sports mode:
Mobile Device\HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P8
set "Enable" on "1"
To enable Video Share mode:
Mobile Device\HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P9
set "Enable" on "1"
To enable GPS Photo mode:
Mobile Device\HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P10
set "Enable" on "1"
Get True 5 Mega pixel Resolution When Using Camera
To get 5MP instead of 4MP resolution when using your camera, you must switch off Widescreen mode in the 'Advanced' Menu.
Normal screen = 2592 x 1944 pixels = 5,038,848 pixels = 5MP
Widescreen = 2592 x 1552 pixels = 4,022,784 pixels = 4MP
Get Better Video Quality When Using Camera
Use MPEG format instead of H.263 for better quality video output. This option can be found by going to the Advanced Setting from the Video Settings menu. Once there, go to Capture Format and change format if necessary.
If I can think of any more I'll let you know.

Unfortunately I know about those Thank you though - I'm sure a lot of people will benefit from that list. The ability to do infinite zoom is still elusive as far as I know...

Opera: What is your "Zoom Slider Maximum" Set to?

I lost the default value for opers 9.7 Zoom Slider Maximum. Can someone tell me what it is?
It can be found under
HKLM > software > opera > pref > adaptive zoom.
The reason I am looking for this is because when ever I double tap to zoom in on a picture, the pictures get really pixellated. This means that I am going past the actually size of the picture's resolution.
Thank you.
rebump. 24 hr.
hklm/software/opera/prefs/adaptive zoom
Default Zoom - 175
Virtual Scr Width - 800
Zoom Max - 500
