Hello everybody!!
I have a question about setting the default browser on my Galaxy S III, Im currently using Dolphin Browser and I know about the option in the settings to make it the default browser. But when I use the default "Web" Icon on the homescreen it still opens the Browser that came with the phone. I tried downloading apps that "change" the default apps used but still opens the wrong one... I had gotten this to work for my other S III and Galaxy Note before i had to return it due to a dead pixel but ive had no luck in getting it working again... if anybody knows anything on how to get this set correctly i would greatly apprecaite it!!
Thanks in advanced!!

Tried Settings, App Maanger, All, Internet, Clear Defaults?
Yes I have tested that, but when I go to the Internet app it says that their is no default app set

Oh, wait. I think I misunderstood your question. You want the globe icon that says internet to open Dolphin? Not sure if that is very feasible.
That icon is like an icon on your computer (I.e. it is not a shortcut). That icon is specifically for the stock internet app.
But, it's probably possible. I would start a new thread about how to change icons of apps. I use Nova Launcher and I can rename icons, but not change the picture. But, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me know how.
It is possible I've done it before but I am not able to recall how I did it lol

Oh.
Well, if you don't figure it out, I found this today: http://android.appstorm.net/how-to/...guide-to-customizing-your-home-screen-icons/
EDIT:
DesktopVisualizer does exactly this!
I assume the answer to this is no, but I wanted to check.
I really like the stock HTC browser - i am currently running AR HD 31.3. However, I hate it that it virtually closes background tabs instantly. This means if you create a new tab, or open a link in a new tab, when you back it has to reload the previous tab from scratch.
Is there any way to override this default behaviour? I have loads of free RAM so it's just proving to be annoying rather than efficient...
Thanks.
The stock browser is not applying my Accessibility settings when it first loads a page. I have the font to be augmented to 145% but each time I open a web page it's like I didn't set the option at all. Once in the page I go to the accesibility settings again and disable/enable (or viceversa) anything in it (like the 'force zoom' option, or the 'text booster') and when I exit the settings (without ever reloading the page) the settings are finally applied. It's like the browser finally reads the settings and applies them.
Before you guys recommend a "better" browser I know there are many other browsers out there including chrome but I prefer this one and I want to know if anyone has had this happen and managed to fix it or anything.
Thanks!
I tried every browser and none was as good as "browser". Turns out that someone uploaded an AOSP version of browser to the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.android.browser it's even better than the stock browser on the mini since this one is closer to the one I used to use on my S3 with all the cool nifty features (full screen mode, night mode, etc). It's really cool and it doesn't have the bugs ailing the stock browser.
Hi,
I have some trouble removing my home screen for my tab s, and it seems after searching around it is an issue with touchwiz and my only solution is to change a launcher.
I tried google now launcher, it seems fine except that after switching to it, i have an empty icons/folders at my "desktop".
I have read other users having the option to import the settings for the icon/folders but i did not get that prompt.
So is there some other ways that I can import these icon/folder settings from the previous stock launcher?
I have so many icons/folders set up previously that it will be quite tedious going through it again. Unless it is really my last resort, i will not like to do it.
I'm rooted and on a custom rom by the way.
I'm new here and have been searching the forums for the past hour but haven't been able to find anyone who has had this exact issue.
Today I tried to add the option of S6 themes to my Note 4. I downloaded Lollipop_Themes_Enabler and followed the instructions. When I was done, Themes showed up as an option anytime I long pressed an open spot on one of my home screens. So far, so good. But when I press the "Themes" option I now get a window that say's "Unfortunately, TouchWiz home has stopped".
I can see from the forums that its not uncommon for this window to pop up, but didn't see any mention of it in conjunction with themes. Any idea about how to deal with this? I thought about deleting the files and directories added when I tried to set this up but then I thought that might just create more problems. Any advice would be much appreciated.
