FACTS

If your device is not included into "UAProf Device" list, this tool probably will not succeed (depend from your ROM). Check post #4 for more info.

Backup files are with .bup extension, inside Opera's folder. They holding Opera's default settings, before applying the Patch and you can restore them back whenever you want.

Full uninstall of the changes can be made from inside About tab -> button Rollback.

There will be light at the end of this tunnel! Times, when this application will be shrunken by more than 1.5MB :)
