[Q] Mobile Browser

Is there a quick way to access the bookmark and homepage saved in the browser for the phone?
In the browser, long press the back button. It takes you to history and bookmarks. You can also make a shortcut to your homepage on your desktop by long pressing the home screen and choosing shortcuts / bookmarks.
hmm...long pressing the back button in the browser does nothing for me...is there a reason why?
or u can just press the menu button in the browser then the bookmark button in the top right corner.

Changing the default browser

Hey guys Im trying to change the default browser for android so when I hit my browser button in the bottom menu it brings up Firefox instead of the main default browser. Is there a way to do this?

Go to settings > applications > manage and select your current default browser then scroll down and select clear defaults. Then whenever prompted to choose browsers, select the new one and check set as default

Opera Shortcuts

How do I add an shortcut to an opera bookmark to my home screen? I see there is a bookmark widget but that seems to only work for Chrome bookmarks. I hate Google Chrome so this doesn't do me any good. I have tried long pressing the bookmark that I want in Opera but it doesn't give me the option to create a shortcut.
Anyone?

You don't specify which version of Opera you're running... Mobile, Mini or Beta.
In Opera Mobile and Opera Mini...
On the web page you're currently on... and in the URL/Address bar, click on the star symbol, (just to the left the search box)... a menu should appear, with three options...
1) Add to Bookmarks
2) Add to Speed Dial
3) Add to Home Screen
This works for both Opera Mobile and Opera Mini.
-----------------------------
In Opera Beta...
....there doesn't appear to be a similar set of options... clicking on the + symbol (at the extreme left of the URL/Address bar) yields just two...
1) Add to Speed Dial
2) Save for Offline
There doesn't even appear to be a regular bookmark feature... just Speed Dial. It's a pretty smooth browser, but lacking in features... which probably explains why it's still in Beta.

Page Up/Down Keys

Forgive me if this has already been answered.
Is there a way to advance a page in say, a web browser? Scrolling down text can be disorientating with E-Ink and it's easy to lose your place.
I use Opera Mobile.
For some insane reason, this application does not support any pageup/pagedown keys.
In Android 2.1 there were no official PU/PD keys.
B&N screwed thing up by assigning the four hard buttons to codes that were used by later Android.
I try to keep things logical by having the four hard buttons assigned to Back, Menu, PU (as in 2.2), PD (as in 2.2).
Other applications (like K9 email) handle the PU/PD fine.
You can experiment with any keycode you want using adb:
Code:
input keyevent 4
That sends a Back.

Hi Renate,
I'm new to the Nook, so please bear with me. I have rooted mine with NookManager and I've looked in the Nook Touch Mod Manager app, but it won't give me the option of assigning any of the hardware keys with PU or PD.
I too like Opera Mobile as a browser, so it's a shame that it won't use these commands. If you can help me with the above, I will try a range of browsers on my Nook to see which one's work with PU and PD commands.
Or is there a software solution like using Button Savior or something similar?
This is the cheat sheet:
Code:
Code B&N 2.1 Android 2.2
---- ------------- --------------
92 LEFT_NEXTPAGE PAGE_UP
93 LEFT_PREVPAGE PAGE_DOWN
94 RIGHT_NEXTPAGE PICTSYMBOLS
95 RIGHT_PREVPAGE SWITCH_CHARSET
Assign whichever hard button you want to go up to "LEFT_NEXTPAGE".
Assign whichever hard button you want to go down to "LEFT_PREVPAGE".
Set your B&N Reader app to use the scenario on the right here:

I must have tried every browser there is and none of them use the PU/PD keys. Ridiculous! Yet Dropbox, GMail and a whole host of other apps use them perfectly.
Maybe the new 1.50 update with its new browser will have PU/PD capabilities? Here's hoping.
Dolphin browser has a setting to allow the volume up down keys to be used to page up and down. If you root with NookManager, Nook Touch Mod Manager allows you to map the hardware keys to volume up & down or you can use the method Renate outlined above. But honestly I can't stand any browser on the NST. They all seem painfully slow and flakey.

Are you sure? For me they don't advance a whole page, they just act as scroll buttons.

Well, another case of our old Android version I suspect. On my other devices Dolphin scrolls a whole page up or down using the volume buttons. I just tested it on the NST. On the NST Dolphin I first have to scroll once with a swipe to get the buttons to work. Then it appears to scroll a half page up and down using the volume buttons instead of a full page. But this is the same scroll amount I get with a swipe in the stock browser, Dolphin and I even tested Boat Browser Mini (it also can be configured to use volume keys for paging). So it seems to be a quirk of our NST devices. But pressing a button twice for a full page scroll doesn't seem like too bad of a workaround.
