It wasn't that easy for me, but I finally found it. So if anybody else is having this problem thank elgar at xda for the following, as it worked for me after trying several different things with no avail.

1) Open Opera Mobile
2) Type opera:config into the address, this gives you access to tons of preferences
3) Expand the install bullet
4) Check Browser First Time Launch and press Save
5) Exit Opera
6) Restart Opera

The first time you restart it will take a while, and may even close without showing you the browser, but now open a link from e-mail or other source and it should use Opera to open.


As a note, the first time I tried it, it was telling me that there was nothing to save, so i unchecked it, saved it, checked it again, saved it, and exited out. It worked properly on the next go.

As for the 2nd one, I did not manage to do it. First of all, the TV tab was listed as "unknown" in touchflo 3d config, and it could not see the Sprint TV on internal storage. All I have in that tab is a "sprint TV" title, a loading screen then "name" and "url".

I'm just stumped to why you're having these issues. I just installed my TV to internal storage and TF3D saw it just fine. I know TF3D Config will see the TV tab as "Unknown" regardless. For the record, are you letting customizations run?

I did nothing special, and yes I did let the customization run all the way.

I was thinking about it ... downloaded Julio's kitchen, and built a couple of roms. I have to say though, that I'm really spoiled by the 6.5 roms that I put together in Calcu's kitchen. The fresh look, the updated apps, but mainly the scrolling are just so much better in 21502 and 21222. Thanks again, Julio, for making your kitchen available.

Sorry. I know I'm a bit slow at correcting these things. Just remember I do this in my free time, which obviously I don't have much of these days. Anyhow, the links are back up. I removed them cause I forgot to remove the .nbh in the ruu. This will save people about 90MB in the download. I did however leave the input.nbh which is the actual stock rom before it gets dissected. I left that just in case someone wants to start from scratch.

What exactly are you looking for in the rom? Maybe I could cook you something next chance I get. Or maybe someone here might beat me to it. If anyone wants to, feel free to cook and post your version of this rom here. I don't really cosider it "my rom" per se. All I did was remove some stuff. Let HTC or Microsoft finally take some credit here. LOL!

You are very welcome my friend.

After all my findings, I have come up with a way using a combination of TF3D, iContactBE and some reg tweaks to accomplish this. I have also learned that light colors are best for me as I use my phone a lot in daylight. I am going to cook this same a rom with the Vodafone Manila and White Slide to Answer with curtain. If anyone is interested let me know and I will post it here as well.

I'm interested! I'm in the same boat. I want the best of the essential features and no other fluff. I don't really need to play games on mine or listen to music.
