Is there a way to use a custom user agent string in the stock webbrowser?
I just found this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636177
but here you can just switch to iPhone, Desktop or Android.
but I would like a custom user agent.

hi,... i am using opera mini 5.1 on android 2.1. I want to modify the user string so that i can access the websites as in pc, bcs some websites simply redirects to their mobile version, which has very less content. So after a little research i found that we can view full websites by changing user agent, any idea how to do that in android apk?
Hello,
After a forum & google search I have found this solution (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3661716&postcount=49)
but apparently it does not work on 2.3.3
So I am asking here, is it possible to change the UAString to a custom string permanently on the nexus s?
(in my case, to this string: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.2.1; iw-il; GT-I9000 Build/FROYO) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1)
thanks

in the browser type about:debug
then press menu, more, settings, go to the bottom and pick your user agent.
Thanks, but I already know about this method and it is not what I am looking for.
I need to change the user agent to the specific string I have mentioned in the first post.
(if you're asking why: because my network provider's website does not let me access his android features unless I am using a "supported phone".)

your only solution is to change the code yourself and compile a version of a ROM with the browser having that specific user agent string. or maybe you can convince the cyan team to add that one into it.
i dont know of any other easy ways you could do it.
Is it possible to recompile just the browser and not the complete ROM?
Hi all,
I would like enter my company web portal trough Android devices like Nexus One or Nook Color... this portal is designed on IE but I believe it could run also on other browser... well I tried to set user agent to IE6 in the stock Android browser (running CM7) but the web portal still says me that a Windows plattform is required...
is there a way to fake the site and make it believe it's a Windows platform?
Thanks!
Hello XDA,
I'm in the process of creating a custom rom, which is a brand new experience for me, but I don't quite know the limitations of Android yet. I am aware of Xposed modules providing a similar experience to a desktop, but I'm curious if it is possible to develop an Android rom where these features are provided natively (IE windows, persistent launcher, etc)
My goal is to create an android look and function more like Ubuntu, without having to use a chroot method, install modules, or install Ubuntu touch. Would it be possible to completely redesign Androids interface to achieve something like this?
Hey,
I'm searching for an SSH client that supports the use of password protected private keys (.ppk file). I'm not really a fan of having them inside the app or even on my phone in plain text. Can you guys recommend one? Termius seems to need them as plain text for example.
I found some solution. Not the most ideal but at least it's doing what I want: a combination of Termiux and a rudimentary Linux distribution installed with AnLinux.
So you basically just install Debian or whatever you prefer on your phone, add all necessary packages and you are good to go.
You have to give it access to storage and it seems it needs to be started with su rights through the Termiux package tsu, but then you can import a ppk key via the putty-tools package like on a standard Linux distribution and the private key can be converted to a password protected OpenSSH key.
Not the most intuitive way but it's working.
