Is it possible to change the speed dial thumbnails? Are the thumbnails saved on the iphone and can i change them like in opera desktop? What is the file path to the thumbnails?

thx for help

Opera didnt gave option to change speed dial..but after playing with the application folder for sometime i figured it out..first i opened opera mini app folder-var/mobile/application/(somerandomnumbers) find opera mini folder...
2.go to documents then ds folder
3.there were many files there and i was confused which one is thumbnail
4.go back to documents folder
3.opened datastore.ini in text viewer
4.look for lines img0,img1
5.the file name of 1st thumbnail is written next to img0
6.go to ds folder and open file(in image viewer) which was listed in datastore.ini next to img0
7.you will see thumbnail of 1st speed dial

I havent tried modify it coz i m not at home now
Plz try and let me know if works
If doesnt then try replacing with other file of same size..also try different formats like jpg png etc
Good luck

No core application file is being replaced so i hope opera doesnt mind...

You mean you were able to give address for some other images confused

And are the changes fixed confused In other words not changed back to original images when updating some other speed dials.

In case anyone still wants to know how I did it, here are the steps :- (I have tried it on Nokia N73)

1) Connect your mobile to computer in 'Data Storage' mode instead of 'PC Suite' mode.

2) Now go to 'My Computer', then select your mobile.

3) From the 'Folders Options', select 'Show hidden files, folders'. Click Apply & OK.

4) Now goto 'System' folder, then 'Apps' folder, then 'Opera Mini' folder.

5) Now open 'DS' folder. Here you will see lot of files without extension.

6) Open all the files one by one with any image viewer software until you find the desired Thumbnail image.

7) Check the size of that thumbnail image and create your new Thumbnail image with the same size. (In N73, the thumbnail size is 85x85 px)

8) While saving the newly created thumbnail image, save it with '.file' extension and with the same name that of the thumbnail image which you want to replace. (If you are unaware of how to change the file extension, use a freeware called 'Extension Changer'.)

9) Now copy and paste this newly created thumbnail image in 'DS' folder. Overwrite the previous thumbnail image.

10) Now when you open Opera Mini, you will see that the thumbnail image has been changed.

Now comes the most important part.
Forgive me for my bad english. p

I changed the speed dial thumbnail quite easily by editing a bookmark lol with the desired link, retrieving the thumbnail and then editing the link back to the link you want.
