Hi -
I'm trying to change the default browser from IE to Opera in the TF3d Internet Tab (search bar and "Launch Browser" button). I edited the InternetPortal-en-us.xml file in \Application Data\Manila\ to this:
<BrowserExe>\Windows\Opera9.exe</BrowserExe>
I made sure to make the file read only. However, Internet Explorer is still launching when I put in a search query and also pressing the Launch Browser button. Anyone know how to make this work?

Remapping Keys and Text Input
How To Edit the Keyboard Link
Download http://vieka.com/wordpad.htm Vieka WordPad.
Sync your phone to your PC.
Run CE Notepad on your computer and open any of the following files:
T-Zones Button: "\Windows\Short_IE.lnk"
***Second Method if you have Total Commander, this can be done on the Dash directly.
Navigate to \Windows\Short_IE.lnk
Edit it (to one of the suggestions below for instance), save and reboot.
Recommended Remaps
CommManager: 36#"\windows\CommManager.exe"
Task Manager: 19#\Windows\IA_Task_Manager.exe?:TaskManagerApp
Internet Explorer: 36#"\windows\iexplore.exe"
i dont get the numbers b4 the links.....
Why are you using .lnk? Shouldn't it be .exe if you are using it from your directory and not from Windows Start Menu? Try this exactly as I type it.
36#"Storage Card\Program Files\Deepfish\deepfish.exe"
in your DashConfig. You must use the number 36# because it assigns the hotkey button; in this case the T-Zone button. I believe 19# would be the Mail hotkey. I hope it helps.
The path should have a forward slash before Storage Card\Program Files\Deepfish\deepfish.exe.
I was wondering why he was trying to call up the program via shortcut.
This is why:

According to the link of the tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=281289
'Here is a utility I wrote that will let you change almost all of the JOGGR settings on the phone. It will also let you change the apps that launch when you press the Camera key and the T-Zones key. The app shortcuts must be in the shortcut file format because I didn't know enough about the Windows CE LNK format to simply let you pick an EXE.'
Guess u guys r right and he didnt update the link.
thanks anyway for the help and quick response
i have a program installed on my phone but the run file for it is in the phones files and dosnt appear on the other programs tab where the like of titter and IE are
is there any way of adding it to this so i can set it a icon the shorcut page
thanks for any help
Easiest way is to install Total Commander (file explorer program, google it) which has a create shortcut option. Then save the shortcut under Windows/Start Menu/Programs

you can do it using the normal file explorer, just copy what u want to link to and then go to the directory mentioned and choose paste shortcut
i want tothe icon to appear in the programs when i click add to add a shortcut tab in windows so where do i need to copy the file to?
i got to the exe and copied it to to windows/ start menu and it appears there and allows me to add it as a shortcut but when i try to run it it s not enough memery on the device, yet when i run it on the device from ist normally location it runs no problem
any advice would be great
thanks
I think you need to paste a shortcut rather than the exe itself
instead of choosing paste choose the option below called paste shortcut
your right the shortcut worked a treat thanks

Hey all, I have a Verizon TP2 and the browser tab launches Opera 9.5. I want to upgrade it to 9.7b, however even though I installed 9.7b, the Browser tab at the bottom of the homescreen still launches Opera 9.5. Any ideas?
You might try to find the origional Opera folder in the programs and replace the .exe file with the new Opera file and rename it to exactly what the other one was named. this way when you push the button to "launch browser" it tells it to launch opera.exe ow whatever and it finds the file and launches it. (you may have to rename the other file by adding a 2 to it or something so as not to get them confused. the beta version of opera you have still has some kinks in it so dont totally wope your other one out untiill you are sure you can live with it.

Hi
Have a look on the official thread

I have a problem with my Push Pages. Whenever i try to access a pushpage, my opera browser opens and gives me this error: You tried to access the address file://localhost/obnc/Program%20files/pushinternet/temp/3b9a.tmp,http.www.blabla.com ( bla bla is any page)
i dont know how to fix this..is there a registry entry or a way to fix this in opera.... i tried installing a new version of Opera..but it didnt work....ultimately i would like to open my push pages in IE instead of Opera...I have made some registry changes and while my Internet browser opens with IE, the push pages open with Opera.
I am using a cooked rom so I can't uninstall Opera. I also followed these directions:

You are looking for an .xml file called: InternetPortal-en-us.xml
I copied it to my desktop, then edited it using Notepad. Always keep a copy of the stock page before starting any edits!
Replace the line showing the path to IE with this:
<BrowserExe>\Program Files\Skyfire\Skyfire.exe</BrowserExe>
but i dont have the Manila folder although my rom uses Manila 2.5
I am dying here....anyone that has any suggestions, I would definetly appreciate it
I'm running the stock ROM (with a few cabs installed) and just got my internet working the way I like it. The issue I have is that when I launch the internet browser from the TF3D internet icon it will always default to att.net, even after changing the homepage within IE. Is there a way to change the default page for this?
Thanks in advance!
Anyone have an suggestions/comments on this?
Re: Internet link/icon/homepage
Sounds like something in the registry that defaults it all the time. If you have Total Commander or PHMEdit (or any other registry editor), you might have some luck in locating the persistent URL.
(steps on Soapbox) I'll never understand why the Death Star company insists on both bloatware and total domination of your phone settings...(steps off)

My TP2 is from Sprint, and it comes stock with IE mobile, of course, but when launching internet through TF3D, it's actually launching Opera Mobile. Don't know if it's the same in your case, but if it is, you'd have to change your homepage in Opera settings. Hope this helps.
This has been described previously. You need to edit an XML file.
1. Use Resco Explorer or Total Commander on your phone and navigate to Application Data/Manila/InternetPortal-en-US.XML
2.Copy the XML file to your Storage Card
3. Transfer file to your computer
4. Hold down right mouse key and click on properties and un-tick the attribute read only,
5. Use notepad to open the XML file and change the entry NavigateURL=att.net to whatever you want.
6. Save the file and change attribute back to read only
7. Put back in your Storage Card and then move to Application Data/Manila on your phone.
8. Reset your phone.
