Hey ppl,
I have a few pdf files I have converted to HTML I was wondering if there is any way I can open them in the browser, if so how?
Any help would be nice.
Thanks.
have you tried just going into the URL text box and typing the path to the file on your sdcard i.e. /sdcard/myhtml.html
not sure if it'll work but it's worth a shot
yeah, you probably need to add file:// in front of the path.
Also, if that doesn't work, just open it using Astro, Linda or Discover file managers. They should either automatically open it or allow you to choose HTML Viewer.
true, i just typed the command to an html in my firefox on linux to see what would work and typing the path worked just fine. but to be safe file:// couldn't hurt either. and i know for a fact that linda lets ou pick html viewer to see those files
Thanks for all the help, Linda's worked fine but, I have to look at it as jpg. pic's which is cool. you guys are the best.

I have SKTools, Total Commander, and Registry Key Editors.
I tried setting up file associations to open URL files, but it doesn't work. Only PIE opens the URL files by default.
Can I get the instructions to open URL files with Opera Browser?
Bump, please help me.
This is my 1st bump.
Bump, please help me.
This is my 2nd bump.
As far as I know you can set up thatparameters typing opera:config on your device
Hope it helped,
So do you mean the file associations parameters should be "opera:config"?
URL associations are set up by the app you're using.
if opera is defined as your default browser any url you'll open will automatically pop opera up.
Okay, I am using File Explorer and Total Commander. I want to Open .url files with Opera, it opens with PIE instead.
How do I open it?
What is a "default calendar"?
When I set URL file association for Total Commander, the link does not go online, instead it brings me to an error page. Under the URL box in Opera Browser, it would not show www.google.com, instead it would show something like: storage card/%mystuff/%20favorite links
So if I copied a google.com url into my phone storage card, I want to open it and GO ONLINE with Opera Browser NOT PIE. How do i do this?
PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE ATTACHMENT, SO YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT KIND OF FILE I AM TALKING ABOUT.
meant browser.. not calendar.
when you setup a default browser it will open up all urls in it... automatically

I used Xperia Tweak to setup Opera Browser as my default browser, I still open google.url and it opens with PIE.
My basic file program is Total Commander.
BTW I am not talking about Microsoft Windows. I am talkin about Windows Mobile, and the phone I use is the Xperia X1.
Why is everyone giving me confusing answers. I'm getting more and more confused.
I have looked extremely hard for file associations for opera browser, and this is what i got:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1714441
I do not use morthscript though, and I'm afraid digging into will cause me to factory reset my phone again, and I have rest my phone 10 times already.
Please, tell me if there is any other way to Open URLs via Opera Browser.
I have this program which i downloaded ages ago. I cant remember where i got it from, so im just uploading it myself. Just to clarify, this is NOT my program.
You know how on a pc, you can right click and select "Open with"?
Well, this cab brings that to pocket pc's
Hope it helps
Yeah this is exactly what I was looking for. The thread link from one of my posts also talks about "open with" method. But I don't want to use mortscript.
If your cab is not going to work, I guess I will give up searching for a solution.
Anyways thanks, you are my miracle!.
Here is an update:
Nope... it opens Opera Browser but than it doesn't go to the website (the same exact thing happens if I set file associations for Opera, and the same exact thing still happens if I use the registry editor to change association values, xperia tweak doesn't work, total commander built in file associations doesn't work, sk tools file associations doesn't work either).
I GIVE UP
Registry settings
Hi
Registry settings where file defaults are is:
Hot Key Classes Root.
In this directory there are hundreds (or more) keys relating to all the different file extensions that are associated with programmes, etc. You need to look for:
.htm
.html
htmfile
htmlfile
There may be others. Basically if these keys exist the values you're looking for are the ones with the browser executable listed in them, for example opera9.exe/operaL.exe, iexplore.exe.
I hope that helps

as i see it you ar not talking of .htm or .html files.
You are talking off .url File's
normaly (xp) they are handled by the protocol handler
in wm6.1 there is no such thing and it is directly handeled by iexplore
opera wil not handle these i gues
you need to find a app that reads the urlfile an launh the app with the correct parrameters
you also need this
\hkcr\http,URL Protocol,
\hkcr\http\shell\open\command, ,"\windows\operaL.exe" %1
\hkcr\https,URL Protocol,
\hkcr\https\shell\open\command, ,"\windows\operaL.exe" %1
or you can try http://sourceforge.net/projects/jzsmartmort
(I posted about this last night, but the message got lost in some backup snafu. So I'll post it again. Apologies if they both end up here.)
I hacked together a solution to this problem, and posted it at ppcgeeks.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=62816
It involves installing Mortscript, and having it handle passing the links to Opera. Seems to be working perfectly for me so far. Hopefully my instructions are not too convoluted. Enjoy.
Hi to all. First of all, I've tried to search but I got to ask since I can't find this topic anywhere.
Ok. Does anybody know how I can open a file with the extension *.txt with my preferred program? When I click directly on the filename, the text is opened in Word Mobile. I would like to just click the filename and don't open my application before I can edit my file. I'm using another application that I prefer for editing my txt files. All suggestions are welcome
use total commander to associate file extensions with programs if your pref
or do it manually using a reg-editor
Thanks for the reply. But if I associate from TC, it still open with MW when I start any txt file from todayscreen, (from within PocketPlus). I suppose that using the TC only work when you open from TC? So I'll try to use a reg.edit. and see what happens. Thanks again.
you can use Schap's Advanced Configuation and change file associations..
I've tried Adv Conf 3.3, but still the Mobile Word opens my txt files
what do you use to open them? you might have specific file associations in your file browser.
what about resco explorer? it works to fix this problem in my device
I prefer the NeboPad, and the registry sais that my txt files should be opened with NeboPad. It seems that MS override this, during the copyright
this is impossible. assiciations are set via OS.. if you set a specific association in Adv Config.. it'll work for the OS unless you're using a file manager that opens using its own preferences. try another file explorer like Resco
I'm running it from Spb Pocket Plus and not from any file explorer. In the Advanced Configuration 3.3 it's stated that file with the extension of *.txt, should be opened with \Program Files\NeboPad\NeboPad.exe. But still it's opened with Mobile Word. I think I'll have to go back to Notes with the *.pwi extension. Anyway, thank's for trying.
Regards
if you use notes and it works thru Spb Pocket Plus it means that this NeboPad is the problem, not your association.

Well. I've tried a lot of editors and pad programs by this time, but every time I try to open a TXT file, it comes up in PWORD. This must be something in the OS itself I belive. Or has anyone managed it to work?
At last!
Finally I've found a program that's works. It's MobilePad (nice too).

I managed to download the ebook reader from this link
zune://navigate/?appID=b90a5d54-601d-e011-9264-00237de2db9e
but now I cannot find a way to side load my books. if anyone has any idea please help. if you want I can also upload the xap file.
thank you
Update:
the program is located under Applications/Data/B90A5D54-601D-E011-9264-00237DE2DB9E
I then went to Data/isolatedStore and found the 2 books that came with the program, but when I copy my books they do not appear when I launch the program. Then I downloaded a free book from kobo, through the software, and a new folder "Digital Editions" was created with the book I downloaded.
I copied my books in that folder but still nothing. BUT, when I changed the title of one of my books to the title to the one I downloaded, it appeared in the software under the photo and title of the downloaded book, but opened my book. a small victory but not enough...
BTW it was a epub book, not pdf, I still haven't managed to open pdfs, although this program supports pdf.
in IsolatedStore, there is a file EBookstorage.xml and a EBooksettings.xml that I havent managed to copy to my computer to check what is inside; I believe that the solution lies in there. But maybe not...
for every book there is a corresponding image file, so maybe the only thing needed is the image file of the book cover...
I am using this app on a HD2 NODO rooted (Thanks Yuki) without any other problems.
if anyone can help, I would appreciate it. it will be great to have just one app to read both epub and pdf.

the app uses epub.
you need the epub and the cover image
name the books accordingly.
use isostorespy to access the isolated storage. on the root of the applications youll find the epubs(marked as unknown file, as well as some jpegs of cover art. you also find an xml file - bookstorage.xml
copy bookstorage.xml to pc and add entries for your new book. the epub and cover art must be dumped in the app iso storage root.
edit the xml to include your books... this what i did to mine

the part above should be merged with the bookstorage.xml
if you notice
id = 6 (because this is the 6th book i add. in the beginning there will be 2 default books so youll start by adding book no3 = id=3
bookmarkpath = (id#)Bookmark.xml ---> example if id is 3 = 3Bookmark.xml
ScrapPath = (id#)Scrap.xml -----> example if id is 3 = 3Scrap.xml
author, publisher and title is self explanatory......
other values leave blank or default as pasted above
this is ****ing unorganized... gonna make a video later... and i hope i can finish coding the uploader soon so that we dont have to do all the ****e above. pardon my french....
thanks. I just saw your answer, sorry for that. I will try it tomorrow. If you finished coding, please tell me. I am really interested in having this program working properly.
thanks

I know this is an old thread, but could you post the samsung ebook .xap?
Sounds a lot of effort - try Bookviser

Last night I discovered an easy way to make pen windows with some other apps.
Make a browser pen window.
Try to open a pdf file. (Google search 'apple manual pdf')
When asked which app to use, choose Chrome. (Or Dolphin, ez pdfreader etc.)
/you may need to clear defaults to be prompted.
Further, if you click on a mailto link, you can either open gmail and/or messaging. Then you can send audio, video doc files which can all be used to create new pen windows of their corresponding apps!
Right now I have Chrome, Dolphin, music player, mxvideo player, boat, officesuite(template), Google maps, gmail and messaging all in their own pen windows.
(I have a stock sprint note 3)
Enjoy
I didn't understand.
How did you do it?
I tried it and It oppened chrome in mini window but it didnt add it to the list.
Do you know how to add it to the list??

Clear your default app associations.
Open a pen window, click Internet.
google search for a sample .pdf file
you will be prompted to pick which app to open it with.
choose chrome.
a chrome pen window will open.
minimize it and try the other links IE: addresses, MP4 files etc
I made myself an html file I use to launch my new pen windows
most important part is a mailto link, pdf file link and address.

If this isn't persistent, meaning the app isn't added to the Pen Window list permanently, this is pretty useless. Going through the process you've outlined every time you want to open a non-standard Pen Window app is a lot of work. You get a lot of credit for ingenuity though for figuring this out.

really it's not much work. The html file I made is opened when internet pen window is. From there I hit the pdf link. Chrome opens up. One extra step.
I use this to get some multitasking done easy with gmail, chrome, and ezpdfreader available on any screen.
Should prove usefull for people without root access like me.
Thanks for the reply!
I love a good hack, so thanks!
I've got the Chrome window open. I then minimise the Chrome Pen Window. What do you mean by 'try the other links'?
Say I want to get a MX player Pen Window - I get that I need to start downloading a video. How do I open local content? How do you get the Internet app to open a specific HTML file. Do you have to host it on the net?
Cheers, Richard

By other links I mean other files,
in my case I have a simple html file on a webpage with the following...
A PDF file link.(found URL on google) - this gets you chrome, boat, dolphin,
A Mailto: link. (found URL on google) -this gets you gmail, messaging
.Doc file (My own template for officesuite). You cannot access your other files, so my workaround is to open a template which I can then edit and save..
MP4 file link, same issue as .Doc files cannot access your files. so this would need to be the file itself.
69 Sunset Blvd., Beverly Hills CA 90210 -just a text address, when clicked you get maps
Google Play Link -this gets you the play store
I have this HTML URL as the last opened window in Internet. When I want chrome pen windowed, I open Internet in a pen window and click my first link which is a pdf file. This opens Chrome.
Another way is to click a mailto link and choose messaging. then you can text yourself all kinds of attachments and test other possible pen windows.
Let me know if you find any I haven't, Thanks!
Is there any way to open an .msg file? Our main website for my job uses .msg files. I download the files to my tablet but it will not open them. Is there a way around this or something to convert these files into something I can open on my tablet?
Thank in advance!
Convert it to a text file or pdf file then open it. Google how to convert msg files.
Or Google android .msg viewer and look at the top several hits. I can't recommend one as I don't do. Msg files but the first hit is a free application with decent ratings so it's worth a try.
