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"

Hi,
The default / stock web browser in HTC Desire, is that it?
I found the user interface is not that good
- Is there any easier way to go to the bookmarks instead of pressing the "menu" button then bokmarks
- Is there any way to add FOLDER or GROUP in the bookmark?
Is this HTC limitation or Google Android limitation?
Its a No to all your questions really. What I do is have a folder on my home screen, and then create bookmarks for all my favourite sites and put them in the folder. Then I just need to open the folder and go straight to my bookmarked website. Its fast and easier this way.
Other option is to get Dolphin browser, an excellent browser. It`ll allow one tap of the icon at the top right to access your bookmarks. It uses gestures too so you can set one up for bookmarks.
Have used Dolphin since it was released and its always improving, but I still go back to the default browser as it does a better job of pinch/zoom.
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.
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.

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.
Hi all,
Before I venture into getting Dolphin or some other browser, looking to see if there are a couple of things the stock browser can do. Is there no way to get a button to go to the homepage? I know you can make a bookmark and go that route but one click is better than two. Also, is there no easy way to actually shut down the browser so when opening it the next time it opens to the homepage? How about clearing history, etc. on browser closing sort of thing. Do other browser have these sorts of functions?
Thanks,
Ho'okani

I searched far and wide on the expansive Play Store with the home page issue. The closest you're going to get is Boat Browser (Play Store link). It has a customizable bar at the bottom, where you can place a home button.
You can have it "prompt on exit" where you can check "clear records" and "do not ask me again." It clears the history and will automatically start your home page when you open it again. Boat Browser FTW!

Dolphin browser has the option to put the home button on the address bar - as well as the basic cache clear menu on exit.

I like the idea of the pop up browser, but would only use from time to time. For apps asking how to open up a link, I tell them to open using my default browser always because that's how I want to view most of the time.
Is there a way to call up the pop up browser on demand from links? I'm thinking if I could long tap a link or double tap a link, it could open the link in the pop up browser. Keep in mind the source of the link could be any app, another browser, G+, Facebook, etc.
I know there is a mod to launch a stand alone popup browser, but I don't think that solves what I am asking about.
The developers of Air Calc have had a floating browser for a long time. They are currently making it available for 4.0+ android devices, i believe. I tried to download it to my Note 2 but it is not yet available.

...or at least offer "open link in popup browser" as a choice...that would have been the right way to implement this, because heck if I'm going to leave the defaults off so that 99.99999% of the time when I click a link destined for a full browser I then have to select "Browser" and then press "Just Once" all to open a simple web page. At the very least they could have put in a checkbox in the app selector box that would select the tapped browser in "Just Once" mode the moment you tap, so you don't have to confirm each time.
Sorry, I don't have a solution, I'm just completely echoing your sentiment about this.
I have a bookmark on the home screen that is defaulted to the pop up browser.
It is the only way I know to get the pop up browser on demand.
I press and hold link, copy url, press home button, hit my bookmark (I renamed pop up), then paste the url.
Hope this helps.
You can set the pop-up browser as default and hit the button on the top left to open the page up in the regular explorer.
Only problem is that this will open the stock browser. Which is frustrating if you usually use a third party browser like me!
Does anybody know how to make the top left button in the pop-up browser open Chrome rather than the stock browse?
That would be nice because I have all my data synced to Chrome.

Mine automatically opens in chrome when I click the top left button without setting anything up, I checked and there are no defaults set for either.

How did you accomplish this? Is there a pop up settings menu to set your default browser?
For everyone, floating browser flux in the play store might be an option.
