Ok, so after a bit of playing around with different browsers Dolphin HD, SkyFire, Default, Miren, and others I found that changing the UA String even to custom ones in Opera made no difference on sites that force mobile pages. So what I did in order to fix this was:
Create the hidden menu shortcut using AnyCut:
hold finger on a home screen > select shortcut > Any Cut > Activity > scroll down till you see "HiddenMenu" select it and that's it.
Open the new HiddenMenu shortcut:
Scroll down and select "Browser Utility" > disable "Enable/Disable X-wap-Profile" exit out and reboot your phone.
That should be it. Now changing web browsers UA String should make a difference.
credit to who ever found the HiddenMenu and posted instructions: I can't remember who it was, sorry.
Sorry if this is a repost or already known, I did a bit of searching and didn't find anything.

hello all
how do i create in the bottom today screen that do the following shortcuts:
1. one the takes me directly start->settings->connections->connetions icon-advanced tap ->select network button (a shortcut the does half the steps is ok if its too hard.
2. one that takes you directly to the running programs in memory.
3. one thats can change the current proxy without manually reintering it every time (i switch between 4 differnt proxies all the time.
4. one that enables and disables wifi.
1 & 2, google for "How to create your own shortcuts to Settings". duh.
1 google for 'ppc control panel shortcuts' and 'phm power toys'
2 ditto
4 vijay555 made one. check his site
For 3. Use a mortscript and change the relevant registry settings to toggle between your various proxies.

have you thought about adding the first two to the start menu? it might be easier to use the running progs that way
@vijay555
i am a complete noob can you post a link or elaborate ferther
@bbobeckyj
how do i make the sortcut in the start menu?
thanks all
there's a thread in the general forum with examples of mortscript

it certainly doesn't look easy or simple to me though.
to add to the start menu, use file explorer, go to /windows/start menu/ in here you can add 7 items (excluding the programs and settings folder) (you can also add another folder, eg for your favourite progs, etc) just copy a link from the main windows folder list or from the ppc control panel applets.
you can simply add running programs to a hardware button the standard way - settings - buttons - and select memory
I used a great little program called SK shortcut manager (google it) and then used the O2 plus plugin to create large shortcut buttons at the bottom... have a shortcut to my backlight and one to my wireless manager and wifi settings...
On the Touchflo internet tab, m.yahoo.com appears immediately below the sphere and "Launch Browser" words which causes the browser to navigate to m.yahoo.com when pressing the sphere.
Is there any way to change the m.yahoo.com for a different address?
Also, MySpace appears above all of my bookmarks on the internet tab page. Is there a way to remove MySpace or add other websites?
You should be able to change this if you open opera, click on the menu tab on the lower right, and click settings. There should be a start page option where you can change what page starts up when you start up opera.
Hope that helps.
That does indeed change the start page for opera but clicking on the sphere above the words "Launch Browser" and m.yahoo.com causes Opera to open at m.yahoo.com and not at the designated start page. After doing this, I have to press the home key within Opera to get it to navigate to the desired start page.
There seems to be some form of yahoo tie-in that I would like to remove.

You can change what the default page by editing the InternetPortal-en-US.xml file located in the \Application Data\Manila\ folder. In the <Banner> section, edit the NavigateURL to whatever page you want it to open by default and change the Text to match.
e.g.
NavigateUrl="http://www.google.com/"
Text="Google"
If you remove the NavigateURL line completely, clicking on the globe will open your default Opera home page.
Great...but the file is read only and I cannot work out how to edit it or replace it or delete it so that I can replace it with an edited version. Any thoughts?
I have been askin the same question for a while now with minimal answers. I think I've learned that if you edit favorites within opera, it changes the favorites below the sphere on the TF3D tab.
I received this answer over at ATT forums..its not a step by step but it gives you an idea of where to go. It is relatively self evident if your not bad with computers once you open that file..if you get confused I can probabl walk you through it but I'm not the best either =]
---Originally, on the stock ATT rom with bloat installed I just opened total commander and went to \application data\manila\folder and edited InternetPortal-en-US.xml to tweak it (like change home page, add you tube link, etc.).

Use Total Commander. It will let you remove the Read Only flag and then you can edit the file. (Probably a good idea to change it back to Read Only when you're done.)
Brilliant...thanks for all your help.
These three should help you- they are step by step:

First one is how to change the default tab to set it, second one changes it to whatever Opera is set as for its default and the third is adding an appliocation shortcut to the tab
I am having the same issue, have found the file mentioned, but it isn't in the Manila folder (I don't have a Manila folder at all) its in the Windows folder. I am using Resco Explorer, changed the read only tick but it still won't let me change it. It says it is in Rom and can't be deleted. Also, when I open it with notepad, it just has 3 weired characters in it, not the string about yahoo.
I found I can overwrite the file, which I did with a blank one but it didn't make any difference.
To be clear, it launches to my default home page when "opening browser" from touch flo, but with the keyboard open in landscape mode, I select "web search" and it goes to the yahoo crap. Thats what I am trying to change.
Any suggestions?
BTW I am running the elite rc2 rom
So, I was intrigued by images of the new Titanium Chome of WinMo 6.5 and finally disabled the samsung ui. I also began doing some more common registry tweaks on the device to increase performance. I came across the enable or show windows settings and disable samsung settings in start menu registry edit so being curious I enabled the registry to show windows settings. I'm not sure what exactly happened, maybe because I had the samsung touchwiz interface disabled already and windows settings were up; regardless the icons completely went missing under start menu. This means there is no honeycomb of applications and programs on the device, there is simply just "today" at the top and thats it. The entire start menu screen is completely blank. Now I reversed the registry edit by connecting the phone to a PC registry editor and did a soft reset however it did not revert the settings.
While exploring some start menu customization options i found where the specific icons are located and they all seem to be there with intact rankings, meaning they should show up but for some reason they don't.
The specific edit I did was this:
SHOW WINDOWS SETTINGS IN START MENU
Open any registry editor, go to path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\
Value 'HideSettings' Set to '0'.. and soft-reset...
When it all comes down to it yes I could do a hard reset; however that would mean I have to reinstall all my programs and data which is a huge pain. I want to avoid this procedure. I'm guessing that there is probably another registry key overriding the icons and programs from showing however I have not found it poking around.
Has anyone else encountered this problem, or by some chance have an idea on how to restore my start menu icons?:
Hi,
hope it's not to late yet, hope you didn't hard reset yet.
Your problem is the so-called "permdir-problem". It's a problem of language settings. I'll show you how to solve this. Here's the solution :
1) you must go to the file \windows\initflashfiles.dat .
2)Attribute it to Word (select initflashfiles.dat > hold > select 'properties' from the context-menu > select the 'associate'-tab > select the program \windows\pword.exe > ok - all .dat files willfrom now on open in Word when double-clicked. To undo: remove association with Word of any dat-file in associate-tab)
3)open initflashfiles.dat in Word.
4) find:
; Start Menu contents
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu")ermDir("Programs")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu")ermDir("Settings")
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5) Read the name in the second line. Here it says "settings". Sometimes this has been changed into another language: paramètres, instellingen, ...
6) create a new folder in \windows\startmenu with the name you read in the second line.
7) set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\'HideSettings' to '0'
8) give it a try and click on the start-icon.
when ever i do a search through the stock browser, i don't get a regular mobile google window. instead it looks like it's from the 90's. i have a screen shot to show what i mea. how can i fix it. also, can i set the setting some how that it always get the classic google instead of mobile? do you think it's related to the flash player software i have. i have the modified flash player for the hulu fix?
the link below is for the flash player apk

just saw that this only happens if i search through the address bar. if i type the search in the search field on google.com, i get a normal looking result, meaning the desktop version.
this only happens if i search through either the address bar in browser or press the search shortcut from the home screen. same thing happens in dolphin as well.
does anyone else running Vegan Beta 3 have this issue?
I see this as well. It seems like the Google search app sends that it is a mobile device along with the search query so Google shows a page formatted for mobile phones. If somebody writes or has written an app that responds to Google search intents and this is set to the default system search handler, maybe it could provide a workaround. (I am running vegan-tab beta 4).
It may because whatever browser you're using has user-agent set to 'mobile'.
The newer default browser in TNT 3452, xscope, and dolphin all have settings to set that, but not sure about Vegan.

In the URL window in the browser.....http://www.xxxxxx.com.....type "about:debug".
Nothing will change.
Tap the "Menu" soft key
Tap "More"
Tap "Settings"
Scroll to the very bottom and tap "UAString"
Select "Desktop"
I don't think these settings survive a reboot
Is there a "long press" style option, using an app perhaps that replicates the Win7 accelerator right click option? A way to EASILY highlight a word(s) (besides menu + e etc) while browsing internet, and then search for the highlighted items?
I love the ability to highlight and then search, or map etc.
Haven't seen a solution for android phone or tabs.
Thanks so much

I'm sure there must be an app for that but for now for copy/paste I do it (while in the browser) by hitting Settings, More, Select Text and then drag my finger across the text I want to copy and then long press in textbox and select Paste. For searching I hit Settings, then Find on Page.
I thought I had read on the VEGAn thread that they got an external mouse to work (before they fixed the accelerometer which made it so you couldn't use the mouse). I wonder if the right mouse click did anything while it was working.
On my Droid 1 I can just long press to copy items in a text box but it apparently doesn't work on the viewsonic. Is there a way to copy on the stock browser or do I need to download Dolphin?
