opera 7

[tumnus]

I think AutoSurf was mentioned in the Help for Opera 7.11 but it definitely never had that feature.

If you really want that sort of thing, you could use something like sitescooper or wwwoffle

opera 7.5 (for linux, not on Z) is pretty nice....
has irc, email (not the best yet), and shift-F11 for \"small screen\" etc.

Orange,

I installed opera 7.55 opera_arm.ipk but the proxy settings dont seem to work for opera but work just fine for Netfront 3.1.

what did you do to get your opera to work?

ok, I downloaded the IBM Multimodal thingie and now I got a Websphere Multimodal tool installation app.

I selected Multimodal Browser and I got Opera and NetFront installed on my PC ... but no Opera on my Z5500!

Can someone advise me where the installer for Opera 7 is for my Z? Thanks!


EDIT: ok, bummer!  ... I downloaded the wrong app!  

Here's the right one ...

Select "Opera Software Multimodal Browser for Sharp Zaurus"

Snappy!

You'll find Opera 7.3 here along with the Cxxx fix

Hope this is what you want.

here is a small install procedure for you guys

1st install

opera_sl-5x00-7.30.9965_arm.ipk

2nd install

opera-cseries-fix_7.30_arm.ipk

third.

just because you installed these, it does not mean that you can bookmark since permissions are changed.  in order for you to bookmark or save settings in opera, you need to change permissions for a certain directory.

change permission in /home/zaurus by
in the terminal
excuse my messy code but i hope some one can correct me

Code: [Select]

su
chown -R zaurus:qpe /home/zaurus/.opera
chmod 700 /home/zaurus/.opera

happy hunting!

ok, I flashed and reflashed ... and reflashed my Z5500 with Opie, and then 3.10 SHARP ROM, and now its stable. Got 7.5 Opera installed and it worked right off ... I think I ran out of space to install earlier.

waiting for my SD card to come and I can run /home and install apps off the SD card. Need CF slot for wifi.

Here's a little trick to save some space:

The opera executable (opera) is ~4.5MB and it lives at /home/QtPalmtop/bin

Copy it to somewhere on your SD card, delete it from /home/QtPalmtop/bin, and replace it with a link to the copy on the SD card.

e.g.:

Code: [Select]

cd /home/QtPalmtop/bin
cp opera /mnt/card/mybindir/.
rm opera
ln -s /mnt/card/mybindir/operaYou just freed-up ~4.5MB of internal storage space.  

~ray

PS: That works with any large executable and is very useful for those that won't install to SD.  You just have to remember to delete it off your SD card if you ever uninstall the app.  (If you forget to it won't cause any problems, but it will eat up some storage space.)

Some great tips there guys, thanks.

Does Opera work on Hengtes rom? I tried installation but it just does not appear on opie. Ideas?

Some great tips there guys, thanks.

Ditto on that. I just did it with konqueror, which even though I have home on sd (tKc rom), would not install there. This speeds it up quite a bit.
