anyone know how to change the browser to desktop view for good?

anyone know how to set the browser to desktop mode and have it remain like that for good? i hate having to set the user agent to desktop then eventually the browser would default again to mobile view.

Hi open your browser type about:debug and hit go then after that go to browser settings and scroll all the way down and choose UAString and click desktop

Use Skyfire or Opera Mobile 11.
You can even put in custom user agent on the latter.

+1 with dolphin HD
Jwb

Same here, no issues at all with the browser using Dolphin and setting desktop. Only downside was some pixelation when my wifi got too congested. The browser version is more functional than the app so I'm not sure what the benefit would even be at this point.

How do you change the default to "Desktop" on the Xoom? I was on HBO Go's site and went into the native browser settings and didn't see a spot to change it.

Type this in your browser:
Code:
about:browser
Your browser will appear to do nothing but it activated extra settings options in the setting menu.
Go to settings in your browser. Then go to "Debug", then "UAString", then select "Desktop".
You have to do this or else hbo will think you are one a phone and redirect you to their mobile site.

My problem with the browser is that it's somewhat less responsive and is not very user friendly when you are trying to look through the movie collection. The app version is very user friendly as mobile devices were in mind when they created it.

about:debug and then go into the setting and change the UA settings to desktop and your all set but you have to do it everytime you close the browser

anyone else notice choppy playback when using the browser (both stock and dolphin hd)? I just tried it for a tv show and a movie and the playback would go from great to choppy. The wifi I'm connected to is high bandwidth and shouldn't be clogging it.

The command should be:
Code:
about:debug
That did work, however. Thanks!

sorry, I should have been a little clearer, the preloaded matks. CNN, Samsung registration etc...

Scroll to the bottom of the browsers home page touch > Customize Web 2 Go (you'll get a popup) touch > remove icon. And that will remove bookmarks.. that's how I just did it on Froyo..
Most of us don't use the stock browser. You are limited to what stock will download. I use Dolphin HD and had to go check it out for you.
If you only have the stock browser installed I suggest you download one from the Market. They are Superior over stock.
I hope this helped you.
**EDIT**
Didn't see your edit. Lol.

Roms

I know this probably isn't the right place to be asking but I've been having trouble finding answers. I'm currently on CM7. I'm trying to find other roms that allow you to set the custom user agent. Any ideas?

Are you talking about the browser useragent? You can change that in most 3rd party browsers by looking through their settings, or in the stock browser by typing "about:debug" in the address bar (without the quotes), hitting Go and then changing the useragent in the browser settings.

For mms actually.
