How to set IE as dominant browser..?

[heartisall]

alright man, I looked through several manila files and I checked the registry as well, I couldn't easily figure out a way to do it. However there is good news I found this program which will allow you to change Tf3d to use IE instead, it does seem a little confusing but if you follow the directions verbatim it will work for this. Here is the link:

Hope this helps.

I've downloaded that program but can't make heads or tails out of it, especially with the way the instructions aren't written...

I posted a request on XDA to see if somebody ywould be kind enough to walk me through the steps necessary to make the 1 needed change over to IE.

I too have found nothing in manila files or registry, someone said there were XML's in \application data but on my rom they're not there. my VZW TP's screen has delaminated and is useless so I cannot do much there. Not sure if I could flash the vzw rom onto a sprint phone...

edit: it boots, sprint phone will run the shipped vzw rom. hmm.

edit2: i did it.. this is tested working on VZW stock rom!

Woohoo, I finally got the app that Heartisall linked above to do what I wanted and it's working perfectly!!!

LOL RIGHT after I finished my cab to make the change... ah, oh well.. remember it for if you hard reset, it makes it a lot easier and doesnt even require a reboot. just a today refresh

anyway, here is how it's done: simply add <BrowserExe>\windows\iexplore.exe</BrowserExe> to \application data\manila\Internetportal-en-US.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<InternetPortal>  
<BrowserExe>\Windows\iexplore.exe</BrowserExe>
  <IncludeUserFavorites>True</IncludeUserFavorites>
  <Banner
    DefaultImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner.qtc"
    SelectedImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner_selected.qtc"
    Text="Launch Browser"
    Width="480"
    Height="215" />
  <OperatorLinks>
  </OperatorLinks>
</InternetPortal>

Raidzero,

I had just finished installing the stuff that Heartisall linked me too and had PM'd him for his PP Addy when you posted {EDIT} that you did it... If you look at the time stamps, you'll see my post above is at 3:01 and your edit was at 3:04 which means that he won out even though his method was via searching for a solution which involved someone elses work.

I obviously can't swing $25 each, but if you guys are both ameanable to splitting it for your equal yet individual efforts, I could send you each $15. I sincerely hope that you will both agree to this.

haha, I know I was 3 mins slow... I would agree to anything, I am so broke it's crazy. I had to download and install the shipped vzw rom on a sprint TP to work this out. knowing that the vzw rom runs on sprint phone is good knowledge, can probably make some cool frankenstein rom ... but that's another thread...

I know what you mean about being broke... I custom design, install and maintain huge reef aquariums, but with the way the economy is, I'm not exactly selling too many $20k-$40k systems at the moment!

That is impressive. Good luck with that!

I have a question about the entry <IncludeUserFavorites>True</IncludeUserFavorites>.
What favorites will be listed on the internet tab when this is set to true and how do you edit the list of favorites?
