How do you set default browser?

ebolamonkey3 · 08/11/2011, 12:52 AM

Hey guys, I bought Advanced Browser and I'm using that, but every time I click on a link, the TP opens it using the default Browser. How can I change it so that it uses the Advanced Browser automatically?

No way to do that yet. Jay said something about it being an unofficial feature at this time IIRC, so it would have to be a homebrew fix until HP officially releases the function.

Looking forward to that then.

I am using Advanced Browser as my web browser. How do I make it default so when I click on a link in Spaz, the regular browser doesn't open?

You can't change it via "Device Info" > "Default Applications" ?

I don't have the Advanced Browser so I am not sure.

Thanks

I just tried this but all of the default apps are grayed out and I can't make changes...

ok yeah it is grayed out for me as well. I was just thinking it was because I had nothing that I could change my apps too...guess not.

Current Correct answer here - Read 2nd post (can patch Just Type to Advanced Browser)

Hi all,

I created a shell script that allows you to flip between Advanced Browser and the stock browser in webOS 3.0.4

Here is the thread: [PATCH/SCRIPT] [3.0.4] Switch to Advanced Browser as the Default System Browser

Thanks!
