I posted this somepleace before so sorry for the repeat...
I was wondering if IE can be removed, I am running Black 2.0 on a 8525/Hermes.
Thank you in advance.
A) Why?
B) Not unless you know how to cook your own ROM.
I just don't care for multiple apps for the same function, such as media player, realplayer, TCMP, etc. I like Firefox, I didlike IE, if I was to install Minimo, or Picsel, or Opera, then why have IE?
Thats all, I thought someone may have already.
Thanks for the response.
if you only want to tidy up your menus, just delete or remove it from start/windows/startmenu/programs
removing IE if you really did make your own rom
would not give you any extre mem anyway

on my mda while i was browsing mail.yahoo.com i noticed that pressing certain buttons did not work...such buttons were compose, forward, reply, etc...my question is what do i need to do to get these buttons functional? also is there a way to browse on the mda the way you can browse in a pc? it seems when i try to run launch.com i can't watch the videos, listen to music, etc...also do i need the java midlet to run when browsing IE to get the java to work?
some help out please
i just want to know what do i need to make my IE run as if i were to run it on a pc...while on IE on my mda i can't access certain webpages and they come up blank...or sometimes there will be buttons that i can't click on...
other IE issues...can i use macroflash as well as it macroflash player? can i use javascript to run fully?
Use another browser, jeesh... There is AvantGo, Netfront, Opera and Opera Mini to choose from. If the problems you are having are WAP PUSH problems, well, IE might not have full support for those.
thanks for the reply...i have opera already...just want to know if there is a browser out there that has full functionality as a real pc browser...i have netfront from a long time ago...will this browser support macromedia and flash as well as javascript?
Javascript
I have a few questions about Browsers and Javascript. I always get a Javascript error when trying to access certain sites that obviously require Java.
1. Is there a way to enable Javascript on IE
2. Or would it be better to just download one of the other browsers?
3. If so, which one do you recommend?
Thanks for your help!!

No any files that were put into the rom ie Office, Windows Live etc cannot be removed. The only files you can remove are the ones you installed via cab.

Unless you flash the ROM, of course. Then pretty much anything's fair game
cheers folks, suppose i will run 'as is' for the mo, dont want to risk reflashing the rom. why risk breaking what aint eh?
I am using a software which provides me information in the forms of texts and figures. Everytime when I opened figures on my HD, Opera activated itself and took over the role of viewing figures. Subsequently, all the informations including texts and figures must be viewed by the Opera, and crashes frequently occured. I wonder if Opera could be inactivated so to prevent this problem.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
Can anyone help?
I think your problem is that Opera is declared to be the standard browser. Maybe changing this would help. As far as I know this is done by changing some registry keys.
Is it possible to change the link in Touchflo 3D on my blackstone from opera to another browser ?
I dream to click on the Internet'tab, and when I tap on Earth's picture :NetFront run instead of Opera.
I couldn't find a way to change the default browser. Does anybody know how to do it?
I remember having to do this on one of my older PDAs. I believe the instructions that I followed were roughly similar to the ones found at this link.
Note that this is actually for Windows Mobile 5, but there's a good chance they will still work. Just make sure you note down all of your original settings before you change anything. And, as always, try at your own risk.

i had the same problem. i was using uptodate medical program. the software is designed to be used with PIE. so what i did was google the regedit. there are a lot of regs to be editted to change from opera to PIE. basically what u could do is open regedit on a pda without opera browser. just change the main .html, .htts etc to pie. hope this helps for a start. but if you still have problem. post a reply and i'll give full regedit amendments. thanks
please e_cam23, i am also a fellow uptodate user and i have the same problem.. using uptodate on the blackstone is a painful experience for me :'( sometimes it works and sometimes opera opens and then crashes and takes me back to the previous uptodate page pleeeeeease help me out i am trying to make IE the default bs i couldn't on my own..
UpToDate
In the latest version(16.3) of UptoDate, crashes occur far less frequently. Try it out and you will feel relieved!
I am not sure where to get it from i got it from a friend on a dvd..
forgot to say that all the method i found for touch pro and diamond and kaiser did not work on my hd.. editing registry values in RAI under shell to iexplore and Pocket ie,, also a file by darkness which tells me unsuccessful installment when i run it :S
In new opera (official release), there is an option default browser inactivation.
It may help you, freinds
change default browser on Touch HD
double post
Sorry
All,
from my understanding Opera is 'hardcoded' in TF3D, changes in the registry will not have the effect you want. From my knowledge there are two ways to overcome this.
1. use SSMaPa to patch another default browser into Manila.exe (works also for some other applications)

2. use VJBrisk to route the program launch of Opera to your preferred browser

I hope this helps

install new version of opera doesnt mater wether on the device memory or the storage card but i did it on the storage and then uninstall it you'll end up with explorer being the default browser for everything and this is the only way that worked for me
It may help

is there any fully uninstallation way?! or just delete the whole folders?
i wanna delete opera, and tomtom navigator
You can remove Tomtom from Start->Settings->System->Remove programs. Opera is not removable this way, because its integrated into the ROM, but you can install any other browser, and if you want to start it from M2D then you can change the icon's settings with M2DC.
Why do you want to remove them? There is a lot of free space on the device...
thanks for the help, in the meantime i found how to remove the tomtom by my own
just want to uninstall opera cause theres allready an explorer on it, and i just installed skyfire. and the skyfire is really good. its faster and in many ways better.
anyway thanks for the help!
Hello,
is there a simple way to replace Internet Explorer with Opera Mobile in a already cooked ROM? I mean by that: completely remove the MS IE and replace it with Opera Mobile as default internet browser. If it's possible, can somebody explain me what do I need to do it myself and how to do it? I would also like to replace some other apps, like Excel, etc...
Thanks in advance for every answer!
Conrad

You cannot remove IE from WM. It's an integral part of the OS, as it with windows XP (in general). I suggest you just disable it and make Opera the default browser. Easy enough to do...

NRG28 is totally right. It's integrated even much deeper than one in XP. Try to open any UI resource file with Restorator for example - all the buttons like OK, Cancel and so on are in htm format in all dlls and muis. As soon as you delete IE - you will totally loose User Interface.
So it's impossible not only to handle with already cooked rom but also there is no way to cook such kind of rom.
