[Q] increase max number of windows in browser on rooted phone?

My Desire limits max number of browser windows to 4, and does so on every ROM I've tried. I'm rooted - is there any hack I can apply to increase this? I know Dolphin HD and other browsers don't have this problem but I kind of like the HTC browser apart from this issue.
Anyone found a fix?

it's hardcoded in the browser (com.android.browser.TabControl.canCreateNewTab())
shouldn't be a big deal to increase it
which rom are you currently using?

Moved to Q&A.
On hero, it was limited to 4 tabs in sense, but on CM6 base, I have roughly 8 open in the background all the time. I reckon you could hack the above value, not sure how well the sense browser would perform...

how would you edit this? hex editor?

Can I bump this? Wanna know this as well. Is it only for rooted device?

Yes it would be for a root device only.

Thank you, guess I have to endure then. =/

S'ok, no-one seems to have worked out how to do it on rooted devices either...!

8 tabs like on AOSP ROMs would be excellent. 4 tabs limit is with Sense ROMs and it is too few for my usage too.

Please find here the result of my homework given by The GREAT MASTER snq- !!!
Base on the Browser.apk you have in AuraxTSense 7.6.1, this one will allow you to go up to 15 tabs !
(It's now hard coded at 32, but after 15 I got an Out of memory... should be enough anyway)
For that first time, it is zip-aligned, but not signed.
So I will assume that you know what do with (push with adb, in recovery if you don't have S-OFF).
As soon as I learn to make a flashable zip, I will update it.
Enjoy !!
Or just feel free to insult me if it doesn't work flawlessly for you...
Edit: backup your bookmarks, just in case...
Edit2 : finally no prob with bookmarks
EDIT 3 : updated .apk (back to original png for back and forward)

... Testing.
That works perfect on HTC 2.2 with root! Over 12 tabs now opening fine in the browser. I just removed the odex file and everything worked. It requires 300-400KB ish more than the stock browser. Thank you guys

The stock Browser.apk was 788KB and the one you attached that I installed was 1095KB. I don't mind
The browser would just crash at the start until I removed Browser.odex. Ever since, it works perfectly.

to /data/app ?
wasn't the original in /system/app ?
this what i use to install :
- mounting /system/app r/w with Root Explorer, and checking Browser.apk is there
- then following with adb :
Code:
adb push ATS_Browser_zipaligned.apk /system/app/Browser.apk
adb reboot
...
working fine on mine

Can someone post a step by step dummys guide on how to install this, I have soff etc but don't know anything about adb any help would be much appreciated

Kingdom lockscreen possible for Sense v1 roms..??

One question (and i don´t think this is for q&a thread...because i need the feedback from rom devs)
Is it possible to have the new kingdom or sense 3 lockscreen in classic sense v1 roms...???!?
I ask because we know sense 1 is much faster as any hd (ace) version...and i think this lockscreen is so good...its one of the things i have on my "dream" list
I ask not for the photo or weather lockscreen..only for the lockscreen with the symbols (so i or we don´t need the select menu)
with kind regards..Alex

I dropped the htclockscreen apk from the kingdom rom into the 'official' gb desire leak and it worked fine. Never tried it with froyo.
From memory music and call stuff appeared on the screen.

Yep - no problem. I'm at work at the moment but will do it when I get home tonight.
I think it was this one @Alex-V, although it seems like about 50 rom flashes ago, so I can't be 100% sure.

[APP][THEMED] HtC ime keyboard cm7/9 [15thJune2012]

Hi guys here is the original htc ime (keyboard) modded to work on non sense roms.
credit goes to
jonasl without his work this wouldn't exist
enjoy
Extract and install the apk's
This is not a flashable zip
Update 6th May 2012
new attachment added for cm9 or any ice cream sandwich based rom.
its just an apk file so just install then go to:
-system setting
-language & input
-and mark the tick box for HTC_IME mod
-then under the default keyboard also select HTC_IME mod
much larger keyboard enjoy
1st attachment is cm7 compatible htc stock
2nd attachment is cm9/aokp compatible, but may also work for cm7 not tested
update 17th may
added themed google cm7 keyboard in 3rd attachment enjoy
added themed gold & droid keyboard in 4th attachment
Update 18th May
added Green Droid theme in 5th attachment
added Red & White theme in 6th attachment
Update 15th June
added Pink Lady theme in 7th attachment
Themed keyboards are cm7 only!
all credit for theme kitchen goes to gIMpSTa, thread can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654179
kitchen is here:http://www.gimpsta.com/themerlo/main.php
note: keyboards made in the kitchen do not yet work with cm9, some files need to be edited to match that of whats in the ics keyboard i posted, if anyone knows how to get these themed keyboards working on cm9 it would be amazing. I will be doing my own research to try and work this out too. From another post i read this is what needs to be changed "The change was in com.htc.android.htcime.ui.CandidateView.draw , changing FIRST_STATE_SET to EMPTY_STATE_SET"
also anyone who creates a nice keyboard, feel free to share it here and add some screens
hit thanks if you found this thread useful guys:thumbup:

im using the latest cm7 build

Really not sure, I installed it and kept it on phone memory not SD.
Also I'm NOT using any sd partitions eg. Data2sd apps2sd etc maybe that has an effect.

About the white line over letters? It's unlikely. It just appears on the letters on top two rows, this is interesting. I'm running latest nightly CM7 by alquez.
Edit: I just noticed that the image doesn't show up on my earlier post so here it comes.

[Keyboard mod] HTC_IME.apk without arrows - Now with landscape

Hi this is my mod for Sense 4 htc stock keyboard to remove the arrows, on portrait and landscape modes, but only for english language for the landscape mode
enjoy
push via adb
D:\ADB>adb remount
remount succeeded
D:\ADB>adb push HTC_IME.apk /system/app/HTC_IME.apk
1126 KB/s (4178147 bytes in 3.623s)
D:\ADB>adb reboot
definitly works on Insert Coin 5 , but should work on any rom 1.28 , 1.29

Great job! Nobody uses those arrows anyway!
Although for some reason my entire keyboard is gone after pushing. Might as well be a writing mistake so I'm double checking everything now (It isn't in the settings list either.)
repushed and tried to copy-paste with es explorer, but still no keyboard appearing. (Yes, I did reboot)
Pushed the original HTC_IME.apk (taken from ARHD) and everything is working again.
Which ROM are you using? I'm on ARHD 3.0.0

Im using Insert Coin 3.2.0 , 1.28.401.9 base, I ll just check I uploaded the right one, ARHD is on 1.28.401.9 as well so i dont see why it shouldnt work.
EDIT: it is the right .apk , try this , push the file, reboot , go straight to text messaging , compose, Tap on the text edit box, google TTS appears , Tap text edit box again google TTS disappears, and then Tap text edit box again, keyboard should appear,

Updated first , finally got Landscape mode finished

Good Work, but it didn't work for me on stock (rooted) Rom. The Sense Keyboard is gone, it doesn't even show up in the Settings...

i also like the HTC keyboard, but i do not have any problem with arrows.
i would like to ask if someon knows for a mod to adjust long press duration and the duration of pop up letters.

I not to sure how to mod a odexed apk, ill look in to it, but if you are rooted, you could try removing HTC_IME.apk and HTC_IME.odex , (back them up first) with root explorer , and either pushing, or use root explorer to copy / paste

Great job!

Omg please somehow make this work for the lte one XL , I would love you if you did. Because I love HTC ime but those damn arrows just take.up too much space!!

[URGENT] Clock for WFS

Hi,
I just rooted my Wildfire S Marvel A510e and I've installed the following custom ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226765
My problem is: I don't like the default clock app on this ROM so I deleted it to install the "official" Sense clock app (WorldClock.apk) but it won't install, I tried anyway, the apk is in the /system/app folder but does not run or appear in the menu.
I attached the original apk, if someone could modify it to be able to install it on modified ROMs, it would be great. If it's not possible to do it, does someone have a good clock app ?
Thanks
EDIT: Extracted worldclock.apk from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598058
-> Appears in the menu but crash when I try to launch it and at system startup.

Urgent? Really?! For a clock?!?!?

Did you reset the permissions for the apk and odex file?? Check what the other files permissions and set the added file permissions to the same.

That clock is for sense not CM7, you can download a clock in play store.

Take this clock from cm7
