Hi Guys.
I'm sorry if this is a covered issue but I have honestly tried to search here and google but I cant seem to over come the problem I have installing opera.
I have downloaded opera (http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/products/)
Both .CAB and .MSi versions but when I come to install, I hit a wall.
.CAB
When I open the folder on my desktop, inside i get an XML file and a whole load of numbered files like .000 FILE, .001 FILE etc and I dont know what to do to install it. I've tried putting all these onto memory card and runing from there but there isn't any .exe to run.
.MSI
Windows vista runs the .MSI and it seems like its installing to the PC and not the TYTN. I dont get it.
Please can you help.
With the .cab part of it...all of those files you are seeing are actually the files inside the cab so you need to back up to the folder containing the .cab and you will see a little blue cabinet just drag that into your tilt directory and run it from there.
Hi thanks for the quick reply!
I can't see a Little blue cabinet file anywhere. When I download from opera website. The downloaded file is a Yellow Folder called 'opera_wm5_sp_865' with all these files inside and no blue cabinet.
Move the .cab file to your phone, use the File Explorer and click it.
Also, the MSI will install it to your phone. Did you ever try going through the entire install process?
once you do get that version of opera uninstalled try the one in my 4shared folder (link in my sig). Its modified build by gsleon3 and it is uninstallable
Oh well it might not be little and blue for you...
When I download stuff I try to download it to a folder where I store all my Kaiser stuff on my desktop so the blue .cab file(blue for me at least) is right there so it is easy to find.
Hi,
Been problem solving this issue all day today and now I've finally realised where i've gone wrong! I've managed to finally install it and it was such a small error on my part.
basically, when i downloaded the .cab file from opera website. The icon of the file was a winzip icon becuase winzip was assigned to open .cab's and i was extracting it without realising it was a .cab file. I just assumed that i was supposed to extract the winzip first. lol.
Well, have all sorted it now and I hope this helps someone who gets stuck like me....
Thanks guys!
Also gonna uninstall winzip now!
I had that problem with WinRar for awhile but I just told it to not touch .cabs
Good thing its all fixed. have fun
Hello,
I've recently just downloaded and installed the manila 2d theme by greatball and after installing, I'm having trouble finding it. I've looked all over and I've used the search function on the phone but I can only find the the setup file.
I've downloaded the cab file and I'm wondering if I need another file first or anything to make it work
Thanks in advance.
I have this problem with Opera Mobile 9.5 where I try to download a cab file to install on my phone but it instead opens the cab file as text. There isn't a "Save file as" option in the menus so how can I download the cab file without opening it as text?
Type in opera:config and check through the settings, or you could reinstall.
Guys I am having this problem also and need to fix it.
The thing is when I type :config in Opera and try to log into settings nothing happens. Please how can I remove that **** Opera off my phone?????????
Need to install all the cabs that I need...
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
I have never had any problem downloading anything with Opera... Actually, I tend to try and use Opera to download with because it's download manager works so well.
It sounds like you have a setting off somewhere in your phone... probably with Opera, assuming you can download with IE just fine.
Also, you want to type in the address bar "opera:config" without the quotation marks, and that is where you will find the advanced settings that control downloads with Opera.
As well, maybe try downloading a different version of Opera? I like this one:

That is not what I mean.
I downloaded files throught my PC, hooked Omnia to it and copied the files to the phone's SDcard.
The cab files of all progs are "branded" Opera. meaning if you want to run them, they open through Opera and not execute style. Got it?

Ah, ok... I don't think that is the same problem they were having... I don't know what the solution to that would be, since a .cab file is an .exe file written to run a PPC, thus when you click on it, it should run itself without any other program opening it...
I would say try downloading the cab files directly on to your phone with the built in browser, save them to your memory card of course...
But if you are copying a .cab file on to your phone, and using file explorer to launch it, there is no reason it shouldn't work, it is a self executing file that doesn't look for a mother program to run it... Unless somehow you have managed to change them so that they try and open with Opera, either through your phone settings or properties of the cab itself type thing.
I think I have no choice but to disable or uninstall Opera in some way.
If someone can help me to do this, I think I can manage with the cab files then...
I don't think that will fix your problem. Those files will still be linked to Opera. And if Opera is part of your ROM, you can't uninstall it... actually even if you loaded it yourself, unless you did one of the uninstallable versions, it can't be uninstalled...
At this point, it would help if you gave more information:
What, if any mods, you have done to your phone?
What program did you use to copy the files to the SD card?
Where did you get the cab files?
Heck, what cab files are they?
These mods:
http://www.samsung-omnia.org/how-to/howwhatwherewhichwhywhen/
And the cab files are related to advanced configuration tools, Omnia patched dialler, SPB mobile shell and a couple others.
You might want to ask that forum for assitance? It looks like they are pretty dedicated to the Omnia, which most everyone here does not have one. This forum is for the HTC Kaiser specifically, and the site as a whole is dedicated to HTC devices. Perhaps post in the general section of this site, but I think you will have better luck with the omnia site you got all of your cabs from.
In general, without having screen shots, or hands on knowledge of the cab files you are trying to use, about all I can say(and anybody really) in this forum is that there is something corrupt with the .cab files or your file explorer is corrupted. I would bet the .cab files are corrupted, and that somewhere along the way you did something wrong. Maybe you skipped a step in the whole process, and Opera is coming up not because they are tagged to run through Opera, but because it is suggesting to search for something using your default browser.
It really is hard to say, but I would suggest asking that forum for some support. Also, I would flat out re-download all the cabs straight to your phone from the site, not your computer. This will make sure you don't have any issues with the sync process. As well, save them to the root of you SD card, in other words not in a folder.
Sometime i got this problem but it seem it happen when the page is not fully loaded
Do you open cab files through Opera?
Open link in new tab
Hi
I have also had this problem with opera version 9.5.16277. I have found a couple of work arounds:
1) Tap and hold on the link and then select "Open in new tab"
2) Tap and hold on the link and select "Copy link location". Then manually open a new tab and paste the address into the address bar.
I have found that if 1) above does not work 2) will.
Cheers

Sometimes it's the website itself.
For example, for Josh's Test ROM, if we click directly (even on PC) on the link, it'll open the zip file on the page. I had to 'right-click' and 'save the link as' to save the file.
It might be some code on the page ..
Input the two .reg files to the registry, should just solve the problem. You can use any regiedit tools or taskmgr.exe or total command to do it. If don't know how, please search some info first.

The above is my answer to origional poster of this thread.
But since this thread is already goes to off-topic, I would also write my comments:
Opera opens compressed file as text on page, is a big bug for opera software, it happens to both its mobile and desktop vdersions. But latest releases of Opera Mobile seems have some progress on this issue, although still can not completely avoid it.

I have found through trial and error that it seems to work if you select one of the Phones which only supports portrait mode. On the ones which can rotate, although it lets you upload the image and set up correctly, it crashes when processing. That can be overcome by using the portrait only and then editing the .tsk when downloaded and saved - simply delete the exisiting image file and replace with the correct pair of .jpgs for Portrait and Lansdcape [ stwater_480_800.jpg and stwater_800_480.jpg].
Editing the .tsk is done by making a copy - rename the extension to .cab and then use WinCE CAB Manager to edit. Once done, save and rename back to .tsk
Hi,
I used ROM Extractor to transfer a copy of shellres.192.dll onto my PC. Then I used PE Explorer (claims this can read and modify windows mobile EXEs and DLLs, unlike Resource Hacker) to hack 2 windows mobile explorer folder icons. The icons that I replaced met the same image dimensions and bit depth as the originals so no problem there. However, after saving the file again and overwriting shellres.192.dll in my Windows folder, I came across a problem: The icons were changed sucessfully upon loading windows explorer, but my start menu button and some of the icons were missing from the top in my homescreen I don't understand it because I didn't modify anything apart from the folder icons. Maybe PE EXplorer has stripped some data from the original? If so, any ideas on how to fix this problem because I really wanted the XP looking folders on my device instead of the rubbish windows mobile ones. Has anybody had any success in changing their windows mobile icons without affecting any other icons in their phone. I had to restore a backup of my device using SPB Backup after this happened.
Please help!
Cheers
Hi, tozzy,
replacing the icons in shellres.192.dll shouldn't be a problem. I think you did it in the right way. One question for better understanding: have you re-signed the hacked DLL with MSigner? This could cause your issues.
Ciao
SeCo
Hi SeCo, many thanks for your quick reply! Oh I didn't know it had to be signed, I see now. Would you mind uploading MSigner here to this thread? if you have it as 4shared site isn't working for me . Thanks!
...here you go.
After ending the signing-process the signer will create a text-file with "...but not timestamped. Succeed." If you see this - all is ok.
You can delete the text-file and put the signed dll on your device. Best way: put it into the root of the storage card, rename the original dll (windows-folder) into "...dll.bak", copy the new dll into the windows-folder (using TotalCommander), perform a soft-reset and after this you may delete the "...dll.bak). Enjoy.
Hope it helps -
Ciao
SeCo
btw. - we should talk about the whole truth
There are three steps:
1. Unsign the dll (using unsigner.exe, see attachment)
2. Replace the icons (using ResHacker.exe, as you did)
3. Sign the dll (using MSigner.exe, like I described before)
and after the three steps: enjoy...
Hi SeCo, thanks very much matey that's great . Will check this out later.
