Hi,
Everynow and then when I click on a URL in an email etc Opera does not launch. The wait cursor spins and spins to no end. I then try to start Opera myself using its icon ... same result. I close all running applications wondering if this is memory related and try Opera again ... no difference. So in short I've had it with Opera for now so I want to go PIE way for a while.
Does anyone know how I can change the system default such that each time I click on a URL PIE opens up instead of Opera?
Thanks a lot for all your help.
The easiest way is to untick setting ...set opera as defaiult browser
cheers
Exactly what I was hoping for. Where is that setting though? I've looked around but seem to be missing it. Thanks for your help.

Mmmm - you could try:
Opera - Tools - Settings - Misc - Set Opera as default browser
D'oh! Looking at the wrong place all along. Thanks

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.
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?
I have the LiveView accessory and it uses the Android stock media player ("Music").
I would like to use it instead of Mediascape, however the link to the application is not present. Is there a wat to launch it? Or a way to add the link?
With ADWLauncher or Launcher pro press an empty place on the screen - "add Personalized Icon" - "Activities" - Browse to Music

I would like to stay with the stock home. Is there a way to launch Music without a replacement home?
BetterCut can do that too
Cool, I don't have to use AdvancedHome, it's enough to have it installed and I can add shortcuts to activities on the stock home!

im trying to do it by editing manifest.xml. i know there apps to hide anothers app..
if you have any idea of how to, ill appreciate it...
(im not an expert on this, and i dont even know if im asking in the right forum)
Hey, did you come across a solution? I'm facing exactly the same problem right now: The App's gone from the drawer but no longer executable by no means.
Sorry for bumping this old thread, but I endured reading about 10 pages of search results without success.
Thanks in advance!
You can use my app "App Quarantine" to do the job. You can disable the app in question (so it's no longer in the application drawer) and re-enable it as you want. Therefore you could use the home screen widget for quickly launching the app.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I'm searching for a solution to get along without any 3rd party app.
Which means, I want the app to be "set invisible" before even installing it on the phone. I'd really like to know, which file of the apk has to be edited in which way to achieve this.
It'd be totally fine if it simply didn''t appear on the drawer.
Any other ideas?
I have an idea.
I have replaced the icons with a completely transparent .png image and recompiled the apk.
Remember you should not change the file name of the original icon, just replace the content.
I have used apk editor pro for this work.
The app will be in the launcher or app drawer but it will remain invisible.
You should also replace the app name with 3 to 5 spacebars.You can remember the position of the app in the app drawer.
Everyone will see you tapped on a empty space and a app started
I have tested this.
So you can be sure.
One more thing
If you see any folder like mipmap_anydpi_xxx in /res you should delete it
