Hey guys,
ok I knwo with the standard Opera browser on the HD2 you get the first page of a website as your icon.
I have now installed Opera 10 with flash. Honestly, I love it.
BUT, how on earth can I change the icons under the Internet tab? when I use the slider and go to internet tab I get the ugly empty icons tabs.
How can add either a custon pic, or anything for tha matter?
Thank you all in advance.

It says on the tiles, click them to add a website from your favorites list. It will change to a picture of the website you have added to the list.

But it will not take it from your Opera 10 favorites list, it takes the favorites from Old Opera or Explorer. So add a shortcut from your old Opera or Explorer favorites list and then visit the page with old Opera or Explorer then you have the thumbnailpicture on you sensetab.

Is there a way to increase the number of Links in a row on the internet tab?

Hi, can I put internet shortcuts for webs in main menu, in windows mobile 6.5? I have tried to make it and I can't.

If you create a shortcut (for anything) you can place it directly in the ..\windows\Start Menu\Programs ( also add \Sub-Folder of choice as desired)
Here is an example View attachment 298575 (unzip and copy to ..\windows\Start Menu) which starts IE and opens the BBC web site. The syntax of the shortcut is simply
Code:
:MSPIE www.bbc.co.uk
It will then appear in your Start Menu screen in the appropriate location.
You can easily duplicate an existing one and then alter the argument to the desired web address.
Position of icons within the Start Menu is controlled within the Registry and can be amended by tweaking.
Thanks, but it opens internet explorer and i prefer open Opera mobile, is it posible?

Hi, you simply need to replace the :MSPIE in the shortcut with the equivalent call for Opera...
It will be something like
:OPERA www.bbc.co.uk
I don't have opera installed just now so can't immediately check - have a look in the \windows directory (or it may be under Programs) - find the Opera executable and it expect it is something straightforward like Opera.exe - un which case the above will likely work. If it is somthing a bit different, edit accordingly.
Sorry can't be definitive, but should be failry easy to sort.

Following the same way, now we have the shortcircut. (Thanks a lot ) The next xtep would be changing the ugly standard icon by a new one related with the web page that we want to open... any idea about how to?...
Thanks again!

Yes that can also be done. You have to spcify the location of the required icon as part of the Shortcut.
You need to add an extra section to the Shortcut in the form:
\DirectoryLocation\File.xxx,-nn
Typically you already have a file, be it an .exe or .dll which contains the required icon. Replace File.xxx with the required filename. The-nn specifies the location of the icon in the file, eg. -16
The easiest way to do this is use a dedicated app like SK Shortcuts Manager which can look inside and identify the icons and automatically create the shortcut with the correct syntax.

Hi I have a need to create a shortcut for windows mobile internet explorer that contains a "?" character in the url. When I include that character in the url string it is truncated at that point.
Example:
Code:
56#:MSPIE https://www .somedomain.com/indexapi.php?key=value
When the url reaches the internet exporer address bar it is only "https://www .somedomain.com/indexapi.php". The key and value are parsed out by the operating system I suppose. I tried using the ascii hex equivalent "%3F" instead and the internet explorer got the full url, but the apache server on the other end did not know what to do with the "%3f". Does anyone know a work around? I need the key and value as login credentials to the web site.
I'm new to android and I can't figure out how to view the full version of a web page and not the mobile version. Can someone please help me out, i'd appreciate it.

Usually you can type about:debug into the address bar and hit enter. This opens up several new options in settings. Scroll near the bottom, choose uastring or something similar (not looking at the phone atm) and you should have the option to choose "Desktop".
Oddly, everytime I have attempted this on the stock browser in the Vibrant it will force close everytime it starts. Not sure if it's unique to the Vibrant in general or mine specifically so maybe wait and see if anyone has had better luck before giving it a shot.
Download the "Skyfire" from the market, and at set it to "Desktop" mode, which can be found at the menu at the top of the browser.
Works for me...
Dolphin Browser
Dolphin Browser HD shows full desktop by default and allows you to view pages in mobile format. It's an excellent tabbed browser with gesture support.

Cheers
far as I know it can only be done with ADW right? Using launcher shortcuts. Been trying to figure out how to do that with launcher pro but don't have a solution for it.

LauncherPro only lets you use icons? I think that the sizes LP use are supposed to be:
48x48
72x72
84x84
So in my case I wouldnt be able to use LauncherPro, I'm after using images the size of 355 x 132 to link to a particular screen on my Galaxy Tab 10.1...

Oh yeah - that's a good point...
I thought there would have been a detailed tutorial around but there don't seem to be any specific to a tablet.. just lots of little bits here there and everywhere
Ahh , I should have been more specific when I said I figured it out lol..I figured out how to direct my custum icons to open groups of apps via folder organizer..which im sure i very basic stuff lol..I still dont know how to link them to screens.

Wasn't working before but worked now! awesome. Now if I can figure out how to make it work with minimalistic text... I'd be able to make anything!
Right now, I can create the shortcut but can't get minimalistic text to reference the shortcut.

Oh and there's me thinking you found a way to link to screens lol
Nevermind, suppose we'll have to keep searching..
Yeah. Now that I know how ot make icons that go to specific screens, need to knowhow to make it so I can either make the transparent, or link a minimalistic text to it.
You would need to use ADW Launcher Ex. Install it, then hold on the screen to pop the widget addon, click Launcher Addons, then Select Screen 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.
This will create a shortcut to the specified screen. To make it transparent, select and hold the icon, select edit, click on the icon image, select picture, adw docks catalog, You can select any image and the shortcut will now be transparent. You can create a widget though minimal text, and then resize it to go over the now transparent screen shortcut.
I had issues with adw. It wouldn't allow me to use minimalistic text or the bob clock. Also. I wanted to use launcher pro for its Widgets.
It does not support copying text from a webpage like the newest Miui version, but that won't run on blur.
Edit here are the key settings for a forum browser that puts the XDA app to shame as well as many others.
Note: for attachment uploading choose the "manage attachments" under the text window not the paper clip dropdown. Just remember to close the blank popup, uploading works with ES file, upload files then hit the back button and preview changes to see the attachments shown properly.
NB: the above settings are for browsing forums. To post/edit just double tap to turn panoramic mode off which zooms very close then the editing tools work well.
I use Smart Keyboard Pro BTW.
Op updated to show best settings for forum use.

Lucky You
but it is not and this one think you must miss
when i installed it it prompted for new version and directly downloaded the new version
on Samsung phones, also on SGS3, websites doesn't get rearranged by zooming in - that means when you zoom in a website, the text appears larger, but then it's necessary to scroll left and right to see all the content - doesn't matter which browser you use (testet with stock-browser, chrome, mozilla and dolphin). That's completly different with HTC-phones (tested with Desire HD and One X): when you zoom in using a browser (and it also doesn't matter which browser you use) then the text will be rearranged, so it's only necessary to scroll up and down, but NOT left and right - the text automatically fits in the browser window in horizontal direction! Is there any known hack or tool to get this behaviour on my SGS3? thanks Gerald

Check the settings so the text can fellow. Easy.

Maybe try the following in your browser on the SGS3:
Menu > Settings > Advanced > Auto-fit pages
After enabling this feature, I find that text on a website appears in a narrow column, which perfectly fills the phone's screen after zooming in using a double-tap.
I think this would only apply if the website styles are set up so that the width of the text element is relative to the width of the browser window.

I've this option checked, but that doesn't change anything! - HTC renders the same websites anyway completly different! And as I've mentioned: this can not be a browser-setting, because this behaviour ist browser-independent!

OK, I understand what you mean now.
Zooming beyond the double-tap zoom level does not cause the text to re-flow like it does on the HTC One X.
No idea what to do about that - sorry.

thanks for that hint - but this "trick" is not a solution for me, because only a few websites do provide this "special icon" - with a HTC-phone the text reflows in every browser on every website when zooming in!
Use Opera Mini. Reflows like a boss on double tap and pinch and zoom. I've tried all the browsers, and it's the only one that does it.
