I have created some bookmarks in chrome and added them to my homescreen. These are either some apps/websites which i vist rarely and want to avoid having individual apps installed or some daily visit websites which doesn't have an app. These shortcuts open fine with chrome but the problem is they open only with chrome. I am currently trying some lightweight browsers like xbrowser, naked browser and want these shortcuts to open directly with the system's default browser. Even if I uninstall/disable chrome, these shortcuts don't open with any other browser. Same goes for shortcuts created using any other browser. I would like to have url shortcuts on homescreen which are independent of any particular browser. Plz help
Anyone? Plz help

With Opera Mobile 9 will automatically cravate favorite images after viewing the page you want.
You can simulate something with Opera Mobile 10, since it is not supported?
You can manually add thumbnails to bookmarks on the internet page (I can't remember where they're stored - someone will be able to advise you), but it's a pain, and you can't add new shortcuts to bookmarks that you've made in Opera 10 - only 9.7 and IE.
I personally got rid of the internet tab and just put Opera in the top row of my main page of quicklinks, so it's available from my home tab. Since it starts up with the "start grid" (unless configured otherwise), it's equally as good as the shortcuts on the opera tab.
Just a suggestion.

Is there a way to fix the web snapshot for the Internet thumbnail section if you remove one from the windows/temp folder by mistake. Because now it won't take a thumbnail web snapshot if I add to visual bookmarks

I deleted the one i had for BBC Football as i didnt like they image and now i cannot get an image to display for that favourite.......is there a register entry or something i need to clear to restore thing?
i think i might have found a way...place your favourite in internet tab, then, in order to have thumbnails, open pocket internet explorer, go to favorites and open web pages (the one placed on internet tab) and let them full load. if you close pie at this point you can see thumbnails in internet tab, tap on them and they will be opened with setted default browser, opera 10 in this case

I think I figured it out about this bookmark thing. I have notice in opera 9.7 that the little symbol next to web address that looks like a box with lines in it is all mess up. Now I don't know what that symbol represents but I think by fixing this it will fix the problem.
Hi again,
When you select a Internet browser and you use it during a long time, you have provably added some bookmarks and the browsers (normally) don't supports to export it.
This difficult the easy browser change
My actual project tries to solve it.
With this application you can export/import bookmarks from one to other browser easy.
Of course not all the browsers are supported. At this moment I'm only have developed interfaces for stock browser, Samsung browser, Dolphin, Firefox (normal and beta versions) and Bloat (normal and mini versions).
Also, Chrome is supported (only export bookmarks to another browser is supported at this moment).
The app access to the browsers file system in order to get/set the bookmarks. Due to that, app needs to got root permissions.
Please, let me know your opinions.
Thanks

I assume that this application is not interesting and close the project.
Does anyone know where the AOSP browser saves bookmark files? I have a Samsung S4 Mini and I don't like the SBrowser or Chrome. So, installed the AOSP 4.3 browser. However, when I try to save a bookmark, it force closes. I am guessing it has something to do with a problem writing to the bookmark folder location. I also get a force close when trying to edit an existing bookmark.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.
Hi,
I have a number of android 4.4.2 devices to set up for work and need to transfer the chrome shortcuts to all of the devices. I have these shortcuts saved on the home screen in groups
I'm looking for something like the htc transfer tool, but as I'm using Lenovo tablets this is not an option.
Any suggestions please as I dont really want to want to recreate them on all the devices ?
Thanks
Antony

I think I found something intersting for you: Stock browser sync bookmarks with desktop Chrome? ... post #28.
There it's described how to sync your bookmarks from destop to chrome app on android. With plain chrome sync feature.
Here is another thread about syncing chrome bookmarks: [How To] Export Bookmarks from chrome to Dolphin ... but maybe not exactly what you are looking for.
Thread closed and thank you.
Hi guys,
I started using Chrome some years back on my desktop system. There I have all my bookmarks arranged as folders inside my bookmarks bar.
So far so good. Now on Chrome Android these bookmarks show up as desktop bookmarks in a folder "bookmarks bar".
I have two Android devices:
Nexus 6 --> Everything is fine, I use my desktop bookmark bar and when I close and reopen Chrome it opens the last bookmark page I used - fine.
Sony Z3 Tablet Compact --> I use my desktop bookmark bar and when I close and reopen it ALWAYS opens some stupid list of all bookmarks, unsorted, one huge list. I always have to navigate manually back to desktop bookmark bar bookmarks, every time I restart the browser. This is really annoying.
Uninstalled Chrome, cleared data and cache, but all to no avail.
Anybody any idea on how to fix this? Must be sth do do with Sony's ROM as all the other phones and tablets I have and had do not have that problem.
Thanks,
terry
