Anyone found a setting to force browser to always request desktop versions of websites in ICS 4.0.3?
Can't find the option in about:debug, or settings
Debug. UAString desktop.
Same as always.

There is a setting built into the browser already, just hit meant and it should be in the drop down

Not the op, but I've tried about:debug and it seems to get reset. Is it persisting for you?
Is there a way to do this just for one site (ie the BBC iPlayer, since it doesn't like my Xoom since ICS)?

So, I've got my TB and have installed an earlier version of Swype (Evo).
I love that swype works great, except for the auto space with the stock SMS (Handcent FTW).
I've tried Dolphin Mini/HD, FF and Miren. I gotta say that I'm loving Miren, but because Swype auto space doesn't work at all, I'm back to the stock browser.
One of the things I love is being able to just type in search words in the browser bar, but I have having to erase the "http://www." everytime in the stock browser.
For example, if I want to search for "amsterdam", I go to the top, touch the browser bar, and see that everything is highlighted...EXCEPT for the "http://www."
So I need to manually delete/clear out the "http://www.", then go back and swype "amsterdam" to search from the bar.
Is there anyway to have the stock browser take out the "http://www." on the Thunderbolt as a default?
p.s. does Miren support swype auto space...if so, how?
I know what you're talking about and it's really annoying. On the Droid X, the browser would just clear out the whole bar. On the TB, i have forced myself into the habit of pressing the search button in browser when I want to search for something.
I must say I like the HTC browser much more than the Moto one, but the way it fills in http:// is just annoying as all hell.
I noticed that http bug in the stock browser as well. I'm sure it will get addressed soon (pardon the pun derp I couldn't help it.) As far as browsers not auto-spacing that's because those browsers use the address bar both for searching and for URLs, and there's no way for your keyboard know which one you are typing. I've been using opera for a while now, it's super fast since it's the only browser that uses hardware acceleration at this point, plus it has a separate address bar and search bar. Give it a try, you'll probably like it.
I don't think my browser does that. Then again if I'm going to do a search while in the browser I just hit the search button.
with the browser open, just tap the search soft key

I would rather leave it the way it is. I think they actually put a lot of thought into how this works and intended it to be that way. It assumes that if you're tapping the address bar you wanna type an address. How annoying would it be if you had to type the http..... every time. Just use the search button.

I would rather they bloody ask.. IE made options for that crap.
Check out the extra settings in the browser. It might be in there I would check for you but I don't have time. But I can direct you where to look. Go to browser> type in the url about:debug > hit enter or go whichever. It shouldn't do anything to the page but what will happen is if you hit menu> more> settings. It will give you much more edit menus. Give it a try.
Download and instal the aosp browser add on in the teslacoil rom thread, bak in the happiness!
I am running opera 11.5.5 and I need some help getting it set up. I'm having 3 major issues that is keeping this thing from being my only browser.
1. I can't change the homepage. I've set the homepage in the opera:config but it still takes me to the opera tiles page.
2. I'd love to be able to change the Google search bar to not use the mobile Google search. either by adding another search tool for normal Google, or better yet changing the settings of the stock search.
3. I have the hulu hacked flash v11.mumble installed, and the user agent set to desktop in the settings, but hulu doesn't work. (it works fine in dolphin and stock)
FWIW, I'm running revolver Rom.
can anyone help?
You might see what you can do in /data/data/com.opera.browser/opera, can't say that I'm very familiar with it in any versionn of Opera.

I rooted and flashed the Tweaked 2.2 ROM. Before I did this I was on stock 2.3.6. My problem is this: Before I did all this I was able to browse sites in the stock browser, click on a video link, and was given the choice to either use the browser (which would download the video) or the video player (to stream the movie). Now, I am not given these options and it will only open the video player. I checked in the video system app to see if I could reset the "Launch on default" option but it is already greyed out. I did that with the Browser app as well and it was greyed out.
If anyone knows of why my phone is doing this now and how to fix it, I'd be very grateful!
Thanks in advance.

This is most likely due to Tweaked using the AOSP browser as opposed to the TW one. You can always get the TW one back through tweaktools - it's in CWM Mods > ThemeTweaks.

Got the stock browser through tweaktools. Rebooted. Installed. Rebooted. Opened the browser and it locked up my phone. Long pressed the power button to reset. Tried to open again. Same thing. Re-did the entire process of installing the browser and it is still doing it. Only shows one browser installed right now. Should it show two (stock and Tweaked)?
Went back to the AOSP browser and it hadn't locked up since. Still can't download instead of stream though. Guess I'll try Firefox or Dolphin browser.

Looking into this - not sure what the issue is, but hopefully I'll have it figured out soon. I have a workaround, but I'm not a fan of it. That being said, it seems the best I can do at the moment.
In tweaktools, there are two things you will NEED to do to get the TW browser -
1) Applications > preselected apps > TWAOSPapps > StockFP1TWBrowser
2) CWM Mods > ThemeTweaks > StockFP1TWBrowserFwk
That ought to do it
Tried what you said and it worked perfectly! I had also installed Dolphin browser and wasn't able to download instead of stream with it either. But after I got the stock browser back and uninstalled Dolphin, it was giving me the option again.
Thanks for your help!

L I B. You can download videos off CMT. Whoda thunk?
I didn't have to uninstall Dolphin for it to work though.
After I installed the latest update which I think is JellyBean the ICS+ browser doesn't work. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it just crashes when the program is ran. Dolphin and Firefox still works, but I was getting used to the ICS+ browser. Anyone else have this problem or are there any other browser alternatives out there? Dolphin is really nice and I'll probably stick with that if I have no choice. Hey, at least flash works! I bust my girlfriends chops all the time about her iPad not having flash and some of her web pages just look horrible with Safari. She could never find an alternative browser for her iPad. Apple makes it very difficult to find programs that replace the core stuff on the iPad. A huge negative and one of the many reasons why I love Android so much better then ios.

yes, for me it's the same.
Did you read the app description in the Play Store? It says "Not compatible with Jelly Bean"...

Stock browser is just as good now imo. What are you missing that ics+ gives you?
It was called ICS+ (Ice Cream Sandwich +) for a reason. It was an extension of the ICS browser. I used myself as my primary, but yest with Jelly Bean the ICS browser is different, and as stated before it is shown in the app description that it will not work on JB. Now that said. I do hope they might make a JB+, but really the JB browser works just the same for me, without the home button.

One of the features that I miss to this day is an extended version of "Quick Controls" -- the controls option you can turn on in Settings / Labs that displays a semi-circle pop-up menu when you tap right right or left edge of the screen. In the stock browser, the menu is very limited, with just a few functions. In ICS+, you could choose to add / activate numerous functions and customize your installation pretty extensively. It was very powerful, and very useful. At the time, it became a must-have feature for me, and I wound up preferring ICS+ to Dolphin, Firefox, Maxthon, etc. Really miss ICS+ and hope dev considers implementing a JB version.

Yes I use these as well but there are over 15 given in the new stock JB. If you use quick ics browser you can configure them as well.

yes....I went back and checked. Some of what I was missing is in the fly out sub menus.

Also, see this thread for info on a setting in the stock browswer that really speeds things up-- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923285
If you're not rooted you can't use browser2ram, but honestly, I don't think it's needed to apply this tweak. Good luck!

1. I assume you're on JB stock, from ASUS, right? I'm not on a stock ROM, now, but I'll try and extract them from a backup and upload ' em somewhere. Can't do that from my train commute, though (connection is.... crap, to say the least).
2. All launchers, save very few, use the same wallpaper process, meaning that it doesn't really depends on which launcher you use. Have you tried QuickPic for setting the wallpaper?
3. I do not understand what you are referring to at all, so can't help you there. Can you clarify, or rephrase?

Thank you for your help i am awaiting your uploaded pictures
For the 3rd question my answer is that sometimes when i am on my docking station and typing in the stock web browser and want to delete with backspace it doesn't do it. And sometimes when i am scrolling with touch in any web browser it won't scroll :S
I've got a fix for the wallpaper.
Download this and give it a shot. I've had no lagginess on JB based launchers but it lags TSF pretty bad.

You can choose different images for portrait and landscape or just decline to rotate the landscape at all.
Finding 1200x1920 images is pretty damn hard though.

For the web browser not wanting to scroll, in the stock browser, type about:debug press enter, then hit then menu key, 3 dots in the upper right corner, and hit settings. Next hit the labs tab and check enable light touch, it's towards the bottom of the list. This should help with any touch input used in the stock browser.
