Deleting Bookmarks - Touch HD General

How do you delete a bookmark in TFL3D? Everytime I select a bookmark it goes to that site - so how do i select a bookmark to delete it without going to the site?

Menu right under > Star icon (Favo's) > Tab and hold the bookmark > erase

I've found once you delete the bookmark, it reappears when you go back into it. Anyone else found this?

Genius - thank you!
I've also found sometimes deleting it re-appears - i think this depends on how you close the browser - it you close it without closing bookmarks first changes are lost...
Also anyone know how to sort bookmarks other than alphabetically?

Deleting Opera Bookmarks?

Ok I may just be going stupid here but I want to delete some of the bookmarks that Opera seems to have as defualt. Ie when you go to the internet page it has a list of bookmarks you can choose below the planet. And when you go into bookmarks it has the links for Google UK, Wikipedia etc, what I want to do is delete some of these, is there a way?
I can't for the life of me see a way to delete them?
If Opera Mobile is still having more or less the same interface, then press the star symbol to go bookmark. Place your cursor on the bookmark to delete, then press the symbol that looks like a tool (shape of X). A dialog will appear to ask you if you want to delete it. Click delete button.
Let me know if it still work this way in this version of Opera. Cheers.
Thanks eaglesteve.
The only problem is if I tap on one of the bookmarks it launches the browser and goes to that bookmark. As there is no keyboard in the bookmark view I don't have the arrows on the keyboard to navigate down the list and select the bookmark that way. If I create my own bookmarks its not a problem, it just seems you can't delete these defualt bookmarks

That works if you want to delete the first bookmark on the list that is already highlighted. When I try to choose different bookmark it tends to just open the link. Another method is to press and HOLD the bookmark and a screen will pop up with the delete option amongst others.
Yes, the lack of D-pad makes this untuitive, but not to worry, there is another way:
Press on that item and HOLD until you see the pop up dialog letting you delete that bookmark then.

Don't tap it, just place your finger and keep it there for awhile on top of the bookmark you want to delete and you'll get a menu where you can choose what you want to do with that bookmark.
Hi, all,
Sorry to gate-crash here, but I'm a new member and haven't found the Opera section of this forum, yet.
Does anyone know how to relabel the Speed Dial icons in Opera?
thanks eaglesteve! that worked like a charm !!
You wouldnt hapend to know how to organize the favorites ? like moving them up or down. like if you want the most visited sites on top and less visited further down the line.
thanks

How do I save a webpage?

Is it possible to save a webpage on the HD? You know, just like on the PC, you can save a webpage to view it later off-line.
I presume your using Opera? Go to your webpage you want to save, then just tap bottom right of the screen, then on the STAR Tab. Tap on the PLUS sign on the bottom left and lastly the TICK! You can also put it into a certain folder too!

Thats to create a favorite, I think the post is asking to save the page to view off line in the HD cache, nut sure if by creating a favorite you can view it off line, I am sure someone will tell us.
That's correct. I am not referring to saving a favorite, but rather to saving the page itself to view later without having to connect to the internet again. I don't know if it is possible.
In Pocket Internet Explorer ,

In Menu-Tools, I don't have an option to save as. I only see History, Send Link, Properties and Options. And none of those give me the option to save as.
oops my mistake!

In Opera, touch&hold your finger while in the middle of a webpage, all of a sudden a context menu will appear, there is an option amongst others that says "Save webpage" and another one "Add to Bookmarks".

Really? Is it THAT simple? Cool, I'll have to try it after my HD is done charging.

To what location are they saved?
Yes it is, saved pages can be found under Application Data\Opera\saved pages\ under a default name. You could probably transfer these files anywhere later on and access them from File Explorer (tried that and it works).
Another way to access the page: click the rightmost icon in the bottom soft bar in Opera (the same bar where you can also add to favorites). An option "Saved pages" shows you all the saved pages like they were favorites/bookmarks.
Maybe there is a way to configure the default saved pages folder ... (haven't found anything under opera:config)
BEWARE when you open the file: the phone will probably try to establish a connection via GRPS, it's best to turn on the notification of a GRPS connection, that way you are notified and asked before such a connection can be established.

small start menu

Hey, some time ago i changed some things on my HTC HD and one of those things is my start menu. When i open the start menu i see a list of smaller icons than you see in the standard start menu. In the beginning you only see the 7 programs that you want your start menu to show. But somehow i've changed my start menu which shows the following now:
Agenda
Messages
Contacts
Internet Explorer
Notes
Telephone
-------------
//Recently opened apps
App1
App2
App3
...
-------------
Programs
Settings
Help
The problem is, is that i forgot how i did this... So i was hoping any of you could tell me how i did this.. If i get the chance all also try to add a picture of my menu and the default menu, so you get a better picture of what i mean.

Using a file explorer, you can add or delete new folders to your 'Start Menu' folder. Name them like: Web, Travel, Utilities, System and Media. Copy relevant shortcuts from you 'Programs' folder in your 'Start Menu' folder to each of these new folders. You will need to use a 3rd party file explorer to unhide system files and rom files to see the pre-installed icons to copy them to your folders. These icons are '.ink' shortcuts. Also copy the entire 'Games' folder and 'Office' folder from your 'Programs' folder direct to your 'Start Menu' folder. Finally uncheck all checked boxes in Menus in Settings page. This will allow all 9 folders to show in your Start menu on your home page, where you can access specific apps much quicker. Remember each time you install or remove a program/game, you have to either copy the new 'ink' icon to your category folder or delete it.
You can also use utility apps like HDTweak & Advanced Config to change size of Start Menu
If you go to Start/Settings/System/TouchFLO you also can change Start Menu size

Just a thought, but have you tried removing the tab (Home page, Menu, Personalise Home Page Tabs) and then re-adding it?
I don't know if that will work, but I suspect it will.
Also, have you done any mods to remove the HTC shortcuts in your startmenu? That does it too.

Maybe you can add manually a shortcut to:
' "\Windows\ManilaShortcut.exe" people/browserlayer/peopleAll'
i have the same problem....i installed miri rom v 10...nothing wrong with it so far except that i can't find the htc people shortcut in the start menu & i don't know how to get it back...and that is really annoying...

[Q] Folders with images.

I've put some icons on my Wildfire (Like 500), and I nicely organized them with 5 folders each containing 100, but when I go to the window to change the icon of an application it just shows all of the icons (500), and doesn't show any folders.
Does anyone know how to let my phone display the folders with icons in them instead of loading all of them in one time?

well, i am not much an expert but why dont you try downloading "picturen lite" from market. and then when you change an icon, select picturen lite to complete the action instead of gallery. see if it works....
Download quickpic from the market.
Also, I had another question.
When opening a folder it gave me the choice ''Open with Pictures/OI File Manager''.
I accidentally did ''Remember'' and I wan't to choose the other one now, what do I do?
Menu> settings> applications> manage applications, go to the app that is selected as default and tap clear defaults.
Go to Settings->Applications-> Manage apps-> choose the app you set as default and tap on 'Clear defaults'
Thanks, both of you !
