For some reason since the update I've been wanting to use google chrome for my browser as default. I've gone into settings, application, all, the found internet (stock browser) and cleared it as default. I pressed back and immediately click on the stock browser again and come to find out it automatically made it the default again. I have no idea what I need to do to make google chrome my default browser. Anyone else having this problem with any other apps since the update? Even before when I would make dolphin my default browser, I would choose it in settings, and it would pop up on the screen to make one of my browsers the default. Did that method and still didn't work.
I fixed it, but for some reason it made me have to clear the data and cache for it to clear the default settings for the stock browser. Never had to do that before.

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'm in ARHD 3.0.1 since last week and all is fun and good. Only 1 little problem : when i launch any web adress i ve got a window who let me the choice between Stock Browser and Opera Browser. Even if i check the "by default " everytime i launch again it's seem impossible for the ROM to save my choice...
Any idea???
Thanks for help and forgive my poor english, i do it better next time
Try clearing defaults for both apps in settings. Then choose your default browser again. If it's still not working, try a different browser.
I'm using ics browser+ set as default with no issues.
Hmm... not heard of this before. Make sure you really check the checkbox in the bottom-left corner of the dialog. It should work.
Thanks
I'm sure for the check, anyway thanks for your answer. I'll try the way of reset of all defaults options and see if it's good....
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 the JB update, I noticed I no longer had the stock browser installed, only Google Chrome. I though ASUS had decided to remove the stock browser; however, Iá·°ve seen some threads about the stock browser. I do not have mine anymore! Am I the only one?
Still there for me...
Check if it's not accidentally disabled by scrolling to the bottom of your All Apps list. (settings --> Apps --> All)
I have the Galaxy s3 with Verizon 4.1.1.
I have Google Chrome and dolphin browsers installed. Every time I launch an activity that calls for a browser I get the selection screen asking me to choose which default app to use. I have tried selecting dolphin as the default Always, and I have tried selecting chrome as default always, but no matter what I choose I can click the same link again and it will ask me again which browser to use. I tried uninstalling both browsers and the system let me choose the stock browser always and remembered it as default. When I put the other browsers back on, I have to choose every time again. This also goes for other default app selections. I've had 4.1.1 since Christmas and I still select default apps multiple times a day.
Help please!

If you are stock with root, just use either dolphin or chrome, but not both. Then delete the browser apk from system/app, that way only one browser is on your phone and you won't have the nag.

I use dolphin because it supports flash, and I use chrome because I prefer the UI. Besides, getting rid of only one still forces the nag default app screen between the stock browser and the remaining browser. I would have to get rid of both.
I am not rooted.
Is this behavior normal? I don't want to wipe the phone but I will if I'm the only one having this sort of problem. Does default app selection stick for other people, even when selecting a third party app?
