Anyone know what happen to cut and paste in the browser, HTC Aria has awesome cut and paste and search features that appear on a long press on any text.
Menu more then select text.

I know about that, I was wondering if there was a pop up on that lets you select using those little arrows or highlight to the touch thingy.

If someone could please add this to the wiki that would be great...
I found out that if you are using Swipe, you can drag from the Swipe logo to the Sym logo and it gives you a feature full text selector. Not exactly a hidden feature, but still hard to find.
the same applies if you are using the Samsung Keyboard and long press on the ?123 key
Sweet, thanks for the tip.

Anybody know how to paste text into the stock browser address bar?
Click it once to select and press and hold to paste.

I can't believe how I didn't see that. I was tapping and holding which brought up the share url dialog. I don't know why tap, release, tap hold seems totally unintuitive for me. Especially considering wouldn't it be so much easier for users that a single tap would bring up a menu of all the options, share url, paste, etc?
I might just be being dumb...
I have a folder on one of my home screens called Games and I keep my games shortcuts in there. I remember naming it to games myself.
However, whenever I create a new folder or long press an existing one I don't get the option to name/rename. What am I doing wrong?

Did you long press the name on top of the window after you press on it initially?

I miss the long hold feature from my MyTouch 4g. With the G2X is there anyway to select text?

i think he means for text selection...
1) that feature isn't available for android devices until gingerbread with one caveat... see point 2...
2) this feature is avaiable thru devices with SENSE because sense builds it into the device (even on froyo).
in a nutshell.. the only way to get specific text selection on a 2.2 device is with sense, motoblur or something.. stock 2.2 does not have it built in... only gingerbread has it baked in.
HOWEVER... you CAN select text in the browser by going to menu... more options.. text selection.. then swiping over the text you want and cpying. AND in data fields you can select ALL the text by tapping and holding then choosing copy or cut all text.. but that's it. you'll have to edit the selection once you get it pasted somewhere.
I was curious if it was possible to change the default buttons at the bottom? I am talking about the phone, email, web and application buttons. I really just want to change the web one to be the browser I downloaded. I am rooted if that helps

Go into your app drawer, click and hold your browser that you want and drop it onto the spot you wanna put it. That should do it.
