Hi,
I hate to say but I'm not a big fan of Opera browser therefore I was wondered if there is any way to assign the Internet Explorer as a default internet browser for Touchflow 3d instead of Opera? Can this be done by some tweak or does it need to be a new cooked ROM?
Thanks
I thnk there is a way.
Hello my friend. I think its possible to do it. Why dont you search in the themes and software thread?
Yeh, same here..
I can't work with opera..
Read this posting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455239
Just edit the xml file, place it back and soft reset.
Then the default browser is IE.
good luck

hi to everyone,
thanks to this forum i started to use opera 8.5 on my qtek 9000 but infortunately every time i receive an email with a link it launches ( as i click on the link) PIE. is there a registry hack to modify the default inetrnet browser or am i condamned to copy the link and paste it on opera tu use it?
thanks for your help.
I know this answer is not up to the level of this forum...but maybe it is better than no answer:
I have installed Netfront 3.3 ( i definitely believe it is superior to Opera) and it allows to select NF as the default browser.
I had installed Opera and deinstalled it later, so I cannot check if it offers such an option to select it as default.
Andy.
Answer
To set any browser as the default one
open a registry editor
point to HKCR
and the extensions that you want the new browser to open:
htmlfile
http
https
ftp
url
xml
go to shell\open\command\default
For opera9 modify into:
"OperaL.exe" %1
it should be the same for other browsers
What the f**k!!
This is a 2 years old thread!!

Opera 9.5 gives you the chance to set as the default borwser and works like a charm! I have not tested Netfront.
Cheers
Thread may be 2 years old, but it's useful to me. I am trying to kludge together a way to have Opera open up when I click on a shortcut in the Favorites folder, which I have attached to the start menu. This will allow me to store/sync my favorites through my work desktop IE, since I'm not permitted to install Opera on it. (BTW I'm actually using a Titan, but I figure the reg hack should be the same. And I have a used Uni in the mail, so I sort of belong here!)
Under HKCR->urlfile->shell->open->command, I have this not including the quotes: "operaL.exe %1"
This triggers Opera when I click on sopmething in my Favs folder, but it fails saying that the local file is not available. Am I missing something, or is this not possible? I somehow have Opera set to open when I click a link in an email, so I should be able to copy the syntax of that reg entry, but not sure where to look for it.
TIA
What do I change it to if I want it to Pocket IE? When I open the "Video Sites" for Flash Video Bundle, I get Opera Mobile 9.5... I can't access the videos straight from there. Can someone help me out?

I have installed the IrisBrowser on the storage card, do I have to do anything different as just changing the registry does not seem to work ...
Is it just me or the ROM I'm using, (Latest 6.5, 2.5 manila energy ROM)...., But is Microsofts Internet Explorer still rather slow when it comes to rendering pages ?, which bring me to my next question.... Can I change the internet tab so that it opens one of my opera bookmarks rather then IE ?, and will the screenshot function work with opera, or is this IE only, I thought that this would of been a function in manilla and had nothing to do with IE ?. Thanks in advance !!. Nick.
wrong place to ask this question and they might close this page but to answer ur question from my prospective it does run alil slow i figured it was just not on 3g... but wen u first install energy opera is set to be the web browser

Copy OperaL.exe from your \windows directory to your card and rename it to iexplore.exe. Then using TotalCommander or Resco Explorer copy it back to the \windows dir and replace the original iexplore.exe.
Now, in the 'Internet' tab it will open Opera.
For the favorites links in the 'Internet' tab, you have to insert manually the address of each favorite (copy-paste), and after that selecting them will open with Opera.
Thanks guys...!, sorry bout posting in wrong forum...!
Ok, ok.... I know there's a lot of these, but none of them really fit what I am asking, which is why I am asking here.
Long and short is this. I have Skyfire, Opera 9.5, and Opera 9.7b1. The TF3D Internet Tab defaults to Opera 9.5. Is there a way to change it to either Skyfire or Opera 9.7b1?
Thanks for the Help, and the understanding.

I'm not sure I seen it... I mean I seen a Registry Key that made it deafult, but from what I can gather, it's a general oveall default and not related to Touch Flow 3D v2.1. Nearly every browser, these days, has a option to make them default, and I can go that, easily... I am looking for a way to change it with in the TouchFlo inteface so that when I press teh Globe to get the Browser, it would be either Skyfire or Opera 9.7b1.
Unless I've missed something, which is possible, I don't think that is for me either. If I have missed something, I do apologize, please point me to the right post in that thread. Thanks.
I'm very interested to get this sorted too. Just downloaded skyfire;doesn't look as nice as opera, but who cares: it's waay faster
Who can help?
Again, another thread that is, as of yet, unresolved... Bump It up.

Changing the "Default Browser" is easy. All other programs will open the "Default Browser" no problem.
Changing which browser opens with the Manila "Launch Browser" tab is the question that has yet to be answered with a browser other than a newer version of Opera.
check out what I wrote at the end of the above mentioned thread....
Just like the title says: I would like to set my wifes tp2 up to use opera 9.7 as the default browser. The snag i run into is setting it as the default on the internet tab on tf3d.
There are several ways to set the tf3d internet tab to use 9.5 and it handles it well: bookmarks and search from tf3d tab all are opera 9.5 intigrated. but as i said I would like to set hers to 9.7. Please please no comments on "just flash the rom". we dont want to go that route because after months of searching and experimenting with my own tp2, ever rom I have tried has either had a shlew of dibilitating bugs, or if they were perfectly operational they ate up 70% of the available ram after a few hours of use.
Yes I did search, and there doesnt seem to be any info on this. I even read through a lil over a hundred posts on the opera thread; nothing.
bizzump....
Not sure on 9.7, but when I installed 10, there was an option at the end of the install that asked if you wanted Opera to be the default browser. I said yes to that and everything is working fine.
I had tried a number of things prior to that to manually make the browser the default for everything, but nothing seemed to get it all. Maybe try re-installing Opera?
you should be able to its in the registry, you just need to put in the path to the .exe file for the opera u want as default.
Download latest Opera 9.7.35964 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5928300&postcount=1709
Install Caliban Opera Browser 9.70.35964.cab to the main memory, not storage card.
As with others here it did so automatically for me.
right I understand that it becomes the default. the problem is that I also want my bookmarks to continu to be added to the internet tab like I could with 9.5. when I tweaked 9.5 to be the default I was also able to tell tf3d that when I add a new bookmark, to display it on the internet tab. just installing 9.7 will use my previously existing bookmarks i set in 9.5 but will not allow me to create new ones that will transfer over to the internet tab.
Anyone?
For those of you who installed the 9.7 various cabs, how did you make your bookmarks appear in the internet tab?
Internet tab using this folder for the bookmarks: \windows\Opera9\opera6.adr
Opera 9.7 using different folder for the bookmarks: \windows\Opera9\profile\opera6.adr
Temp. solution:
Enable Opera 9.7 to using \windows\Opera9\profile\ folder
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Info]
"UseOperaBookmark"=dword:00000001
In Opera 9.7 edit/add new bookmarks then copy \windows\Opera9\profile\opera6.adr file to \windows\Opera9\ folder.
I made fix for Opera 9.7 bookmarks: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6099429
wow thank you. I will try this out this weekend and let you know . again thank you
I recently installed Opera Mini and found it to be so much faster than either Explorer or Opera, so I use it all the time. How do I replace the default browser for internet on the home screen (Opera) to Opera Mini?
question too simple?
Hi, I'm still frustrated with this. I have the NRG Sense2.5 with cookie homepage, with Opera10 as the default browser. Anyone know of a simple way to switch to OperaMini as default?

I once looked into this to change the default browser from IE back to Opera. The IE included in 6.5 has a "do you want IE to be the default browser?" question. I checked yes and wanted to change it back to Opera. After some googling and research, I found there were about 6-10 registry changes for this to happen. Ugly! But then, I found a way inside of Opera to make the change via the menus (using the http://about page).
But, to answer your question, I don't think it's "too simple"... it's too hard
You might try to see what you can do with the http://about page of any given browser.
