I sent the request from skyfire website to change device and do an ota reload of the software. When i load it up on the stock rom it is only showing on the left half the screen with the touchflo hompage on the right side.. Is anyone else having this issue, or is there a setting to get this to work on the phone? Thanks for the help!

I'm having the same issue. I don't think this version of Skyfire is compatible with VGA screens.
Glad to know i am not the only one with the issue. I went as far as a hard reset to see if there was an issue on the initial configuration.
I am pretty sure skyfire does not yet support the vga screen.

It's not. They have said that they plan to release a VGA version but I don't think they've announced a timetable yet.
you need to open skyfire with you hardware keyboard open to get it to work. Thats the only way to get skyfire on the touch pro as of now.
please keep the post updated if anyone gets Skyfile to work
I am also having this issue.. I was about to go search the Diamond forums and the Skyfire forums... I could have sworn people said they had Skyfire working on the Touch Pro (Non-FUZE) like Black?
Edit: Nevermind, just have to run Skyfire with the keyboard out.
Good job guys, the workaround is to start it up w/ the keyboard out. Thx
I was able to download and install v7081 just a little bit ago. Seems to work perfectly fine for me up until the point you click out of it and run it in the background and try to go back to it then the screen goes half Skyfire, half Today screen.
No go for me. If I start it with the keyboard extended, still just uses half the screen. Any ideas?
FIXED! I was having password problems. Once I got it fixed, I logged in, and then restarted skyfire, then it worked! Still QVGA resolution, but at least it can play flash, etc.!
Right on!

Naw, I swear I saw a fix...perhaps in a ROM thread. But be damned if I can find it again. Maybe someone will run across this thread and show the way to the solution.

I've seen the keyboard popping up fix but not the other fix...i would be interested too
I don't ever remember seeing a fix for this...maybe I missed it though.

this is not a fix but you could go into settings>system>screen>portrait instead of soft reset each time.
Yes fjc3, this is what I have been doing...except HTC home has a shortcut in the frequent programs tab (4th tab).
Still a little frustrating, especially if you flip open your slider every time you want to input text. I prefer to browse with it closed.
Goes landscape then fails to return to portrait
Running 6.1 as of last night. Open keyboard, goes to landscape properly but then screen fonts and HTC new default with HTC Home gets 'bigger' so that I can't see the entire screen. If I un-check HTC Home on the Today screen, open Today and then re-check HTC Home, it comes back correctly.
Any clues??

I've had the same problem with just about every opera released on this forum. I tried the beta 2 from the opera website and it did not have the screen rotation problems on exit. Problem was, it didn't have many of the features from the later versions.
Download the latest version from www.opera.com. The latest build for beta 2 posted on their website without the screen rotation bug is 9.51 beta build 2723
Dear all,
Try as I might, I can't find an answer to this one. I've been a regular reader of all things XDA for a while but here's my first post....
I have a shiny new O2 Ignito (HTC Diamond?). It all seems quite good but the included Opera browser rarely rotates its screen orientation when you turn the device (as it is supposed to.) Other Touchflo apps rotate quite happily. In particular, the photo album app responds almost instantaneously. The "teeter" game is also proving quite popular with the rest of the family....
However, Opera only ever responds to vigorous shaking, or just doesn't rotate at all.
Is there a g-sensor sensitivity parameter for Opera that I'm missing somewhere? I'm quite happy to have a go at a registry hack or xml modification etc....
Cheers,
Michael
Same problem here brother. With mine, if it goes into landscape, it actually goes into landscape and then shoes the homescreen. Then I have to go into the taskman to bring the app back up.
Its very strange. Windows ftl
Download the Skyfire browser it rotates with out shaking.
wow the demos of that browser look great... apparently it has built in flash? nuts.. gonna try and track down a copy right now.
thanks!

Skyfire is not available for people outside the US :-(. And it doesn't support VGA screen. Quite limited to me indeed.
For the rotation problem, you can install Gsen and make the rotation more responsive. And for the flash, there is a version of flashlite that can be used in diamond. I tried that and I could view youtube videos from within Opera.
Yes, I originally thought there's something wrong with my phone's G sensor as the browser rotates but rarely. But I have heard people mentioning this issue (more than once). So, there's nothing wrong with my phone then .
wrong info, sorry.
All good info so far. I'll try and locate Gsens and take a look.
today i read a news about a new upcoming browser named skyfire.
and what i am asking me: when the open beta comes to my country and i install it on my diamond... can i change the default browser für touchflo3d?
here is a version i tried using. only half the screen is skyfire and the other half is today screen. check it out. maybe it works for you.
Skyfire is a pretty good web browser for mobile phones. It was apparently found to be the fastest - mostly because it renders the pages from a central server.
I believe you have to register with them to fully use the software (you need a Skyfire account).
Also, there is a new release, but it still does not support VGA devices yet.

yes but can i change the default browser in touch flo 3d?
maybe in some time no one wants to use opera and all want to use skyfire.
seemts that its just a simple shortcut to change.
Skyfire is not compatible to VGA right now.
I tried out Skyfire on my diamond and there is a workaround the half screen problem. Other than the fact that flash works, i don't think it is better than Opera 9.5 at least not until a VGA version comes out.
I uninstalled Skyfire and now I have the problem where PIE is now my default browser instead of Opera. Whenever I tap on a link on my rss reader or email, it goes to PIE by default. Is there a way to change my default browser back to opera?
Just Re-run the WM_6_HTC_PPC_Opera9.cab in your windows directory, and it will re-install Opera and fix the link issues. Your bookmarks, history and other browsing data will not be harmed.
Skyfire 0.85 is out, with VGA support. Just tried it and it works like a dream on my Diamond, even able to watch top gear on iPlayer with it.
Hi,
Installed on my MDA Compact and it works well. However, it won't connect using wifi.
Any solutions?
Regards

I just downloaded it too and mananged to get a video playing from the iPlayer but I don't get any sound. Did you have any issues with sound at all?
(I'm on Dutty's V3.2 ROM)
To answer another question the latest version works on VGA but allegedly not on WVGA so Touch HD users may be disappointed. You can download it here http://get.skyfire.com/ and yes, Skyfire asks you if you want to make it the default browser.

Maybe... but uninstalling it even when it's not default resets your default browser to PIE. Which sucks.
i cannot download it,has anybody have vga cab?
Just open http://get.skyfire.com/ in your mobile browser, you'll get to download the cab directly from the phone!
i have opened it 100 times but i cant download,it always get me back to getskyfire.com.
i am not in usa,i am in europe,can somebody please post/upload cab???
Yes, here u go....

This is because unlike PIE/Opera Mobile, skyfire downloads the webpage on a regular pc, then sends you "an image" of the website, in a low quality.
So it's not actually that fast, zooming and panning are weak on it.

Check the developments and hacking forum on XDA, it's near the top.

Hi. This has probably been said somewhere, but I can't find it...
I called Telus (Canada) and they told me, believe it or not, I was the first to complain about this, yet they tried it on several units themselves and they all did it:
When I try to rotate the phone in Opera, unless I am EXACTLY perpendicular to the ground, it will crash and boot me out of Opera - minimize it that is. I updated the phone with the G-Sensor app to make it better, but it didn't help.
Is this something we know how to fix by any chance??
Thanks

Opera issue...
Try updating to a newer version of Opera. There are a number of different versions in this forum, one of them should solve the issue... search away
opera
the landscape mode is bugged, say's so on the opera website.
If you download the latest beta for touchscreens, the documentatoin states that landscape has been disabled. get it anyway, its way fast and shares bandwidth with wifi
Sweet, thanks guys!
Don't know what telus did, but the rom update also fixed this problem. Opera no longer crashes when switching.

all you do is change the standard skin zip either in windows/opera9/skin or application data/opera9/skin
you will need a vga version and place in the file and you are now vga ready
I can say I use it and it works great. I just have an issue with java at times. Says its blocked and I cant figure out how to unblock it. I have the fuze.
So I Lied... accidently.
I had the previous version installed with the slider zoom button. I installed this one and it doesnt seem right. Everything on the pages are small... when I go to the settings they arent the right size way way small. How do I correct this? With a VGA skin or were you saying thats what you had done? Cause really there's no zoom slider on this either so you cant zoom in on the webpages
sorry you will need the opera.ini and opera1.ini from vga as well to fix screen size.

i tried to install this, but i'm not sure what it did. it doesn't seem like my opera is any different. if anything, it works a little smoother, but that might just be my wishful thinking. did i do something wrong?

You should notice a few things different. The start up cursor for one is different. It has an almost knight rider red light thing going on there. When you're in the program select the bottom right button which will pop up a menu. In that menu select help then, about opera. Thats where you'll be able to see if the install was successfull. It should say Build 15756.
On a side note... I have noticed that whenever I soft reset my phone opera now opens automatically and starts on google (my default home page) That's sort of a pain but whatever... livable as I dont soft reset a lot. When I go to actually launch the browser, unless I am using one of the short cuts in TF3D it opens to opera:blank and NOT google, which is my default homepage (as stated before) Does anyone else have this issue?
