I have installed Opera 10 as many. I did unistall it later and since when I click on an link from a mail, instead of the stock Opera, my HD opens up Explorer. Obviously a registry key has changed - but which one? I am running stock ROM (1.56). Anybody knows how to make the pre installed Opera the default for browsing?
Thank you
Have you tried opening Opera and just setting it as your default browser again?
Open Opera, go to Menu, Tools, Settings, Misc. Then check Set Opera as Default Browser... or something similar to that. That may fix it. Let us know.
Check this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\DefaultBrowserIsIE
Set to 0

I cannot find the sequence you describe! Opening Opera I find: Menu, Settings and no setting for default browser!

I cannot find the specific key!!! Would that be the problem? unistalling Opera, could it be that it deleted the key?
I searched through the whole registry and I can find it nowhere!
What do you suggest? can I add it?

Calm down. The guys above have now clue what they are talking about.
Opera 10 has no menu style like the previous versions.
You have to manipulate/enter the registry keys, but be carefull.
Up to now, there is no simple way to make Opera 10 the default.
But if you want to try (it is working):

No Basthet, they just took the time to read the request clearly.
The request is for help resetting the original opera 9.x to be the default browser.
Either solutions offered will achieve this.

Thanks m8 , I chose not to respond to a totally uncalled for response from someone who does not even know how to read.
Set opera to open at manila tab
I know, that if you want to set the built-in opera to open when you click on the icon on the manila internet tab, then go to the registry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER
and set there key
0 to "Opera Browser"
1 to "Windows\OperaL.exe"
And I think it should solve also your problem. I hope it helps...

Thanks for the critique. Next time, please read carefully before deciding to post about someone's lack of intelligence... then just don't post.
Thank you all - even those who cannot read! - my problem is that although when I click the icon in the manila internet tab, it correctly opens Opera, BUT when I click from within an outlook email containing a link, it opens IE - and this is what I want to change!

I was just thinking (I don't have Opera 9.5 or 9.7 installed at the moment, so I'm guessing). To set Opera as your default browser open it up and go to Settings, click on Advanced then scroll to the bottom and choose "Set Opera as default browser". Just to be safe, soft reset then try it. Trial and error... please report back.

Hey guys,
Justa few quick questions ...
Is there an application or something that will log all the apps I have downloaded via my account and list them for me, so when I do a backup I knwo what I had before?
Is there an app to list the above AND download the latest versions without me having to manually do anything (Shashimi for Android).
I have loads of text on my Tytn is there an easy way to back these up in a rar file or something. I don't want to import them to the desire just store them.
I sue S2U2, I like the Android lock screen BUT I like being able to view my texts/emails without unlocking the device, what options do I have?
Lastly, is there an app to automatically backup your text on a weekly basis and email it to your gmail as an archive? I want it to also ignore the previous week's text.
Am I asking too much L.o.L.?

I don't have an Android phone yet ...and won't do until 7/8/9-April... but playing with my wife's Hero this is what I know...
You seem to have to create a level of Google account in orpder to purchase from Android Market and logging into your Google Account and going to Android Market will bring up a list of your previously downloaded apps.
I haven't found a stand alone app for this but purchasing your apps through AppBrain.com and using their AppBrain app seems to do what your asking. AppBrain doesn't seem to list all apps though - definitely missing UK specific apps such as Beebplayer.
I've had WinMo phones for the past 8 years and never heard of a facility to do this - if there is one I'd be chuffed to hear about it myself.
Dunno - someone else will have to answer this one I'm afraid
I believe that most backup apps will do a scheduled backup - Sprite Backup definitely does but to the SD Card only (no automailer), but WRT ignoring previously backed up messages I've not heard of this feature in any backup app.
I hope this helps to some extent.

AppBrain allows you to create lists on their site, so when you change phones or wipe it, you can tell it to reinstall the whole list. I did that when I moved from G1 to Desire -- worked like a charm.
I have loads of text on my Tytn is there an easy way to back these up in a rar file or something. I don't want to import them to the desire just store them.
You should ask that in TyTN forum

THANKS ALL!
Will have a look at this FabianNL as if I can export to individual files then I will be happy. To be honest it isn't a big deal .
Been playing with my Desire for a while, I can see the appeal of Android it's quick, big buttons, keyboard isn't back considering I'm coming from Tytn (as well as a Touch HD but that was BAD).
My next step is ... what programs should I "replace"? I'm refering to applications like mail, text/messages, etc the build in ones.
I am though over the moon with the device the text input ROCKS! I do have a list of applications I need suggestions on though ... I'm used to the following on Windows Phone so I need an Android variation ...
G-Alarm - A Comprehensive alarm application
G-Profile - easily change my profiles from night, work, home, etc, this would be great as a widget
Task Facade - A general task manager that will show all my running applications and let me close/switch
Wake On Text/Email/etc - As it says ... and stay awake until message has been read!
Lock Without using Power button - easy ...
That's about it for now
I use Klaxon for my alarms.
SMS Popup will turn on the screen when you get text messages (not sure if there is similar for emails) and can give reminders untill it's read.
As far as profiles, then would HTC's Scenes not do the trick? Failing this Locale can automagically turn on and off services and silent/loud the ringer based on various criteria like time and location.
You can easily switch to recent apps by pressing and holding the home key
And there are loads of Task Managers on the market for killing running apps
What does sense have for managing profiles?
Hi,
I would like replace my TyTn II to HTC Desire but Im not shure if I will be happy with Desire(Android)...
Main things which wory me are:
1.)Synchronization with PC with USB cable. I DON'T want and will not sync with google account. All I need is same automatic sync line with activesync. I need sync Contacts, Calendar, Emails(Configure which folders), Task's, Notes. Sync will be done with MS Outlook 2007/2010.
2.)Is possible set more than one email account? I need 3x pop3/smtp email accounts.
3.)Is possible disable threaded SMS/MMS? I realy hate this function.
4.)Is there any app which allow connet to windows remote desktop(RDP and not any 3rd party VNC or other)?
5.)Is there some app/pack which can work with word, excel, power point files?
6.)Does included browser support certificates? I know that opera mobile on WinMo do not support it, so I can't manage cPanel server, make payments(bank)...
I think that this is enought for start
Thanks for any help and answers.
Best regards, _Dejan_
I have an HTC Touchpro 2 with windows mobile. The touchflo bar at the botton of the HTC Sense homepage is nice with one exception...the inability to change default programs.
Let's start with the webbrowser for example. I do NOT like Opera. As a matter of fact I use Skyfire. Currently it's sitting in the PROGRAMS tab and then I have to choose the browser from there. I would like to set it up so that I can just go to the internet tab and hit the planet/web icon and it will launch skyfire instead of opera. Is this doable?
Then there are the bookmarks on the internet tab. I don't want this to be a political thread, so don't make it one. It comes programmed with CNN and ESPN on there. Well one, I do not like CNN and I'd much rather put FOX on there. Second, I don't much care for sports so I'd like to remove ESPN altogether. It would be nice if I could add my own bookmarks.
What about the other programs? Can I change the default calender? What about the text program? The text program is ok but when I am sending a message to 10 people, I dont like having to type in each number or go select each name one at a time. I'd like a text/multimedia program that will let me select multiple recipients.
I know this is a lot to ask but once you point me in the right direction, I'll get it. Thanks in advance for the help.

Cookies Home tab Editor (which requires Cookies Home Tab to be installed also) lets you change the applications launched from the Sense tabs (Messaging, Calendar, etc. but apparently not the Internet tab?). Its also an awesome way to customize the home tab, and well worth having on your phone.

If you don't want to make it a political thread, why not just say "I want to change the website shortcuts" ? You can want to change it from CNN to Bang Bros for all the heck we care.
Changing the website shortcuts in the Internet tab is simple. In the Internet tab, just touch Menu, remove the shortcut, then add the website of your choice.
Thanks.
Well, I guess that's a start. I was hoping to not have to install a different home screen or tabs slider, maybe I have the wrong idea about the Cookie app, I'll check it out.
Good point on the political part. I still honestly didn't want a political debate on my news choices but I could have gone with a different example. As for going into Opera and deleting the bookmarks and putting my own, that doesn't effect the pre-programmed bookmarks on the Internet touchflo tab. I think that removing those bookmarks will take some actual digging into the phone system files.
As for changing the default browser, yea, that part wasn't so hard. What I meant was that I wanted to open the internet touchflo tab and click the internet icon and have it open Skyfire instead of Opera, changing the default SYSTEM browser only affects what browser is used when opening hyperlinks from texts or emails.
Thank you for your suggestions though. They ARE greatly appreciated and I will check out the apps you suggested. As for the search function, I hate it because I can never get a narrowed set of results that apply directly to what I'm looking at. I'll try again though. Thanks again.
scratch that, I just looked at the first link you posted about the internet, I think that was PRECISELY what I was looking for. Thank you.

Yes, the CHT re-skins the home screen. It has awesome customizations, but it does use more program memory (some complain that it slows down the TP2 too much). So if you're on the fence, it might not be for you.

You aren't reading my post very carefully. I didn't tell you to delete the bookmarks in Opera. While in the INTERNET TAB, select menu, pick "Remove Favorite Shortcut", select "Done". Then select "Add Internet Shortcut" and pick the website of your choice. I haven't been using the stock ROM for a long time now, so it might be setup a bit different. But I don't think so, from my recollection.
Yea, I misunderstood. Sorry. That might be due to the fact that upon opening the Internet Tab, there is no menu button. Tapping and Holding on a bookmark does nothing (i.e. circle of dots...onscreen "right click" menu), and the soft keys only show Browser and Bookmarks. Browser is obvious. Bookmarks, well that lists two bookmarks that AREN'T the "permanent" bookmarks I was talking about.
But I should note that I have found the solution, kinda. If you search the phones system files (via computer) go to /application data/manilla/InternetPortal-en-us.xml then you can edit the default browser AND add/remove "permanent" links. Now I say I KINDA figured it out because unfortunately my .xml is write protected. Even if I right click and open the properties, uncheck "read only" it still remains write protected. If I create a new file, similarly named, the phone for some reason ignores the new .xml file and reads as if there is no .xml (provided that I remove the original, as I'd have to in order to make a new one)
So I'm about to try and figure out how to edit this .xml. I'll figure it out and when I do I'll post the solution on here. Wish me luck...I'm SOOOOOOOO close to getting this right.

Are those 2 links that you see under "Bookmarks" in the Internet tab the CNN and ESPN shortcuts, or something else?

If I remember properly, the trick the un-write protecting the Manila files, is to copy them (use Total Commander or similar, not the built-in File Explorer) to another directory. Then go Properties, uncheck Read Only, then copy back to the Manila directory to overwrite the old file. Save a version of the un-edited .xml file just in case you screw something up.
Yea, those two bookmarks are something else. Sites that I personally bookmarked IN Opera. I hit that softkey and it opens Opera and takes me to the bookmarks in the browser.
As for editing the file. I already messed it up. Copied to my desktop, edited that in notepad, and copied it OVER the existing file without thinking. As SOON as I started the copy I realized that I failed to make a backup. ****. Unfortunately, now my phone acts as if InternetPortal-en-us doesn't exist. It opens up my systems default browser (which IS skyfire) but the first screen isn't google like I specified in the XML, instead its an Error 404 type screen that says it can't find "\Search\\Home" or something like that. I also edited the permanent bookmarks, deleted youtube and espn, edited cnn to show fox. Now only 1 bookmark shows up...and it isn't Fox like you would hope...no, it's youtube.
I can't figure out how it defaults to youtube nor can I figure out why, with no programming errors or file-name errors, my phone believes that the file doesn't exist. I downloaded Total Commander and edited the properties of this file to read as READ-ONLY and SYSTEM but that didn't help either.
So, do you have any fix ideas? Yes, I know it's a good idea to make a backup, I typically do. I just got impulsive and reckless. Moved too fast.
I'm out of ideas. Personally, I don't use the Internet tab. In fact, I turned that tab off. My browser is one of the quicklinks on my home tab. It might just be easier to go that route.
If you want to return the Manila file to the way it was before, and don't mind losing your data, customizations, etc., a hard reset will restore the phone to factory condition. Go to Start>Settings>System>Empty Storage.
Well I thank you for your help thus far. I have been thinking about a hard reset but it really isn't worth it. I don't use the internet tab either because I use skyfire. So I'll either disable the tab or try one last thing. My father has the same phone. Service and model. I'll try copying the file from his phone and hopefully it works will with mine. I can't find anywhere on the web to download this file so this is my last logical resort.

Hey guys, new to Android and G2, my G2 just arrived today and I'm in the swing of things. Been doing some app picking up on the Market and it's really just awesome.
A few questions though.
What's with Browser? It lets me select a homepage but when it opens, the Homepage doesn't load. Instead it's the last page I visited. Not a fan of that.
What's the best Video Player out there? I'm using RockPlayer, it's great, but I'd like to lose the ads. If there's no alternative, I wouldn't mind paying the ten bucks, but... if I can avoid this, I'd rather do that.
Also, the Music Player is okay, but I can't seem to get the music to stop. I can pause it, but it doesn't just close out completely.
Thanks for your help, sorry about the noobish questions, but please go easy on me, I'm new -.-
The browser goes to the last page visited because you haven't closed out of the browser completely. You might have just pressed home to get out of the browser, unless you pressed back several times to go to the original page from all the pages that you have viewed, then it will finally go back to the home screens. It will go to the new home page if you press menu, windows, and new window.
I don't have a problem with the stock video player, so I have been using that.
Also, I'm not sure since I don't have a stock rom, but on CM6, if you hold the back button, it forces the apps to close out. You could give that a shot.
The question 1 & 3 are the same actually. The browser and the player still runs in the background, like u just minimize them. They are not closed yet.
To close them the simplest way is to install a thread killer software like ES series or some others.
Q2, I found no better video player [email protected]@
I'm sorry, stock video player? Where's that at? :/
And thanks for the answers on 1 and 3, I'll give both a shot now.

You know, if you have a video file in your memory card and you click on it using a file browser or if its in a directory where the gallery app picks it up (folder named 'videos' etc), it plays automatically.

There are a ton of video players in the market. I've tried the ones that seem to be most commonly used by XDA folks: ArcMedia, Rockplayer and vplayer. Rockplayer is my favorite so far. It is able to play every video I've tried (might have to toggle hardware decoding to play a few) and has the most usable interface of those I've tried.

Is that a function somewhere? Or is that just on the Home Screen and applies to all Apps?
I'm not really trying to stop anything from running, as opposed to having a certain webpage open everytime I open the Browser and no music playing when I open up Music. For those two Apps, I don't want to be where I "left off."
Also, I did root it and put on CM 6.1.1. For the first time doing something like this, I think it went rather well.
Thanks guys, for any help provided.
Dolphin browser is the one I use and I have no complaints.

Android decides for itself whether to leave an app running when you move away from it, or whether to close it. It usually does a pretty good job.
Most people want the browser to stay at the page they were using so they can go straight back to it. There are task killer apps for Android but it's normally recommended that you stay away from these, since they can cause their own problems.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z
Right, I'm not looking to close any apps really. I guess it'd be nice to be able to close an app out, say a game, Browser or Music, but only if you wanted to. If you instead just pressed Home, those apps would stay open so you can go back to them later. But if you were finished with say, surfing the web, you could exit out, it would take you Home like normal.
I don't know, I understand totally about Android and it's ability to multi-task. I'm not really even looking to close things out completely, but if that's the distinction between opening an App from where you last had it to opening an App to it's "home screen" then so be it.
Yeah, it's kind of a different mentality. Pressing the phone's home button is really more of a "show desktop" than an exit. This means a better user experience for the average user though (since as was said before, everything is back to the way they last had it and the programs will load faster since they weren't removed from memory to begin with). Whenever I want to leave the browser on its home screen, I simply close all of its windows before leaving the app (just like opening a new window, closing the last open one will make it go to the home page).
With a custom rom, you can do more of what you are saying. I know with CM, you can assign a long press of the back button to exit out of the foreground program (so now pressing home will leave the app running and long-pressing back will completely exit out of it). I believe the MIUI rom allows that as well. Alternatively, you can use a task manager to do the same thing (though maybe not as conveniently---not sure if any of the task managers have a similar shortcut key feature).
Thanks. This is what I was looking for. I have Cyrogen 6.1.1 on my phone now. Could I ask for some assistance in setting up the long press of the back key? Thanks much!
Sure. It's under Settings->Applications->Development. The last option in the list.
Thanks again so much Quinn. I am very happy now! Just a few more questions and I think I'll be good.
1) I'd like to be able to set my Quickkeys to Back, Foward, and Home. Is there a way to do this, preferably without an App? If not, at least a way to clear out the Quickkeys area.
2) What does the Google App package come with exactly?
3) How do I uninstall some of the Apps like Twitter and Facebook? I don't see a way to uninstall those the normal way.
Thanks for all the help!

You can do this by editing your keymap files. An example of an edited one can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837002. The QuickKeys are mapped to user1, user2, and user3. I know you said you didn't want to use an app, but there is a simple one to use called ButtonRemapper (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464). You may be able to install it, use it to quickly edit your keymap file, and then uninstall, but I'm not positive on that. That app page also has a link to a great guide about how keymap files are structured.

You can unzip the file and look in the apps directory, but here's a listing for convenience: CarHomeGoogle, CarHomeLauncher, Facebook, GenieWidget, Gmail, GoogleBackupTransport, GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter, GoogleContactsSyncAdapter, GoogleFeedback, GooglePartnerSetup, GoogleQuickSearchBox, GoogleServicesFramework, googlevoice, HtcCopyright, HtcEmailPolicy, HtcSettings, kickback, LatinImeTutorial, list.txt, Maps, MarketUpdater, MediaUploader, NetworkLocation, OneTimeInitializer, PassionQuickOffice, SetupWizard, soundback, Street, Talk, talkback, Twitter, Vending, VoiceSearch, YouTube.

3) How do I uninstall some of the Apps like Twitter and Facebook? I don't see a way to uninstall those the normal way.

You can delete the appropriate APK from your /system/app directory. Alternatively, you can simply disable the app with a "pm disable" command in the terminal (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809231). This is usually the safer route---disable the app, make sure your phone is still running properly, then uninstall it if you still want to. If you want a nicer interface for doing all this, you can download TitaniumBackup from the Market (I believe the free version allows both uninstalling and freezing/disabling apps).
Enjoy your new phone!
Dude... open market, click the search button, enter "firefox". Install that. Yes, genuine firefox. Its in beta and still has a few glitches, but ITS FIREFOX!! DO IT!
Hello. I just discovered a strange thing and I don't know how to get rid of it. So i was adding some music and I deployed "Sound enhancer" and after that my phone grouped all my apps in menu like it is done in people tab. So i have a huge letter above all my apps which makes my menu longer and it takes more time to find an app. It also doesn't look eyecandy. So i want you to ask how to get rid of those letters and bring my menu back to normal state.
Regards
okey~
It's not a bug, it's a feature. After a cetain amount of apps this is added to your menu. When you touch on one of the letters in the menu it will bring up a screen of letters. Touch on one of these and it will take you to those apps starting with the corresponding letter. This was added to reduce scrolling when you have a large amount of apps. If you do not like it I believe that uninstalling enough apps to bring you below the limit will disable the feature.
I know how it works. But is there no way to bring it back without uninstalling apps?
Not sure it goes away even if you uninstall apps.

Nope.
Surely it makes scrolling faster, not longer? For example, rather than scrolling all the way down to, say, 'Skype'...two taps and you are there in the 'S' section..
Either way, it cannot be disabled (except perhaps if you are fully unlocked, and edit the registry?)

You are right, and think only a fool might want to disable it! I purposefully installed 4 apps more that I won't ever use just to get those indexed letters on!
Use voice instead, it is the fastest. Hold windows key and say start "app name"

OMFGYKM!
I had no idea you could use speech recognition to open apps. Sweet. I'm still enjoying sending SMS while driving or doing the dishes via my bluetooth headset.

It gets better - say find "whatever address"
It will give you directions also (right above the web search)
or find "Store name" it will show that store closes to you.
and try find "movie name"
It will show theaters near you playing the movie
and find "weather in san fransisco" for example will show 5 day forcast via bing in websearch
Then find an iphone user that has siri and show him opening apps. Siri doesn't do that yet i use find flashlight all the time to use htc flashlight. it auto comes on when the app opens and it great for opening car or house door in the dark
enjoy!
