How to change default browser - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running Myn 2.2 RLS 5 and I'm trying to figure out how to have the rosie browser button launch only Dolphin Mini.
I've already cleared the default setting for the stock browser but what happens is strange. When I push the button for internet the stock browser launches, loads, then Dolphin launches on top of it. In effect I always have 2 browsers open. If I just use the Dolphin icon it launches fine but I want to use the special Rosie button I have at the bottom.
Sorry if this is Myn 2.2 specific but I figured someone could help me. Plus I can't post on the development forum yet.

Disguise as non-mobile browser in Froyo

I've recently rooted my Desire and am running DeFrost but I've noticed something different with the web browser. For some reason, I can no longer hide the fact that the browser is a mobile browser which changes the appearance of some websites. I don't like this.
Is there any way around this? I was wondering if my browser before was a HTC one so maybe switching to a ROM like Modaco or OpenDesire's official port would help. Thing is, I'm not particularly fond of Sense.
Also, I read something about there being a way to replace the hosts file so it blocks out the ads. Is this still possible in Froyo?
If you get Dolphin HQ browser from market, you can download a desktop toggles add-on, which switches between android and desktop ID
Will that work for all browsers or just Dolphin?
Or just type in about:debug in the address bar and "go". Then go to Menu > Settings > UAString
This only half works.
Some sites are now intelligent enough that even though you change your user agent to a desktop one that they can work out you are a mobile and redisplay a mobile specific page
about:debug doesn't seem to work in the default Froyo browser.
It's ok. I've found the answer here: http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...ion/6167-change-user-agent-android-phone.html
When you do about:debug nothing APPEARS to happen, but if you then go into the settings there are more options available.

[Q] jumpy browser

I am running myn 2.2 rls 5 and I have the browser text reflow disabled. I like having the text reflow disabled but I am experiencing another issue with the browser and I am not sure if it is related or not. The browser will automatically shift up or down or left or right on its own. It is really annoying when you go to select a link and the screen shifts on its own and you hit the wrong link. Does anyone know how to fix this?
How do you have the browser text reflow disabled? I'm running myn's Warm 2.2 as well, but I thought I read somewhere that downloading the stock fonts would take care of the issue you speak about. I did that and I don't have that browser shift issue anymore. I think downloading the stock fonts corrects the brower shift issue by enabling the text reflow. If there is a way to enable the reflow again without downloading the stock fonts then I would try that first. Please let me know.

[Q] Internet Browser Softkey

So i rom'd my phone with Warm Z 2.2. At the bottom of the screen there are three buttons at the bottom of the screen, All Apps, Phone, and Browser.
Ive started to Play with Miren Browser and i really like that browser. Anyway to make that button open Miren instead of Internet?
Well I don't know on the sense roms, but try long pressing it and see if you can change the shortcut. Also try opening the miren browser, then go to settings and set it as the default browser, then it'll open be default.
Yeah, neither worked.. But i do thank you for a quick response
You can try deleting the original broswer..
I believe this is what you are looking for:
Sense (Rosie) right launcher button now configurable through new application, "Rosie Z Settings"

Stock Browser Question

I've been using third party browsers such as Dolphin HD and XScope for quite awhile. I decided to give the stock Gingerbread browser a try. I set my homepage to Google Search but can't figure out how to navigate back to my browser homepage. I can get there by pulling up my bookmarks but is there an easier way? I don't see a home bottom on the browser anywhere.

Dolphin Browser Can't Reopen Previously Open Page After Closing?

Hi all, I'm currently using Dolphin Browser as I find it smoother than Chrome, and I also like how you can swipe from the left to get to bookmarks.
One thing I can't figure out though, is that if I close the browser from "Recent Apps" menu, the next time I open it again it'll just show a default page instead of the page I was looking at last. Is there a way I can set it up to show the previously viewed page? I couldn't find anything under Settings.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, when you think about it it's actually a good thing, when you exit dolphin it clears the cache and everything I use Dolphin to do my banking for that reason. So if you want to keep your things around don't kill the app.
Agh so I guess it's not possible then. Its just that sometimes I'll accidentally close it, in which case I'd lose what I was viewing.
