1) There's a cab to change the default search engine in LiveSearch posted around and about. Search for google in this forum and work from there, it'll turn up as it's been posted a lot.
2) There will be a today plugin for that somewhere, though probably not on xda-dev. I've never seen one for that specifically but there are literally thousands, maybe even millions of today plugins about by now, and most old ones from PPC 2002 onward are still ok but there are squillions just for WM5/6. Searching on ppc freeware sites should find you that.
3) Most 6.1 roms have threaded sms enabled anyway so you could do that. I notice from your thread in the 6.1 forum you've got an older rom installed so you might not need to look anywhere else if you just update the rom. Otherwise, there are a few apps out there to do it: there's 'palm threaded sms' and VITO Software make one, but there are others as well. Again, a freeware site (VITO's isn't free) should help.
Happy Hermes-ing!
Google: regedit this in:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Windows Live\HSAppPlugins]
"SearchURL"="http://www.google.com/pda?hl=en&q="
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Search Page"="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%s&btnG=Google+Search"
Hallo,
since i started the Internet Explorer, Opera isn't longer standard browser, I have tried to change the reg-key:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\EFBROWSER]
"0"=Opera Browser
"1"=\\Windows\OperaL.exe\
"2"=dword:00000001
"3"=dword:00000000
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But it doesn't work. Does anybody know how to change it.
i'm sure if you seach enough you will find the answer, it has been asked many times.
i'm sure a search of "change default browser" will find something...
-edit- did the seach for you. Thread here
i have googled for it but the only thing i found is to change the registry.
When i lounch the browser from TF3D, Opera starts. That's OK. But when i "klick" on a link in RSS Hub Pocket IE starts.
Sorry for my bad english.
Can't find an answer to this using search so forgive me if i missed it.
Pretty much as the title states, i was intrigued with the prospect of skyfire so i gave it a go, doing so pushes internet explorer to the default browser (hateful program!!).
I just need to get opera as the default browser again.
Any help grateful.
in operas setting there is one which makes it set as default browser, (but i cant see it on mine??? ,might be cos i upgraded to the flash version on here????)
open opera, go to settings have a look around, i couldnt see it either....
although you can try this...
:extra:
go to opera and then go to this page opera:config
you will find alot of extra settings here to change things about
there must be a registry setting for which is default browser might be as simple as what open ".html" files
Use a registry edit
I have had to do this a couple of times now through playing with alternative broswers. I read elsewhere that if you type opera:config into the address bar in opera, you can bring up all the preferences. Apparently checking 'Browser First Time Launch' in the 'Install' section is supposed to reinstate Opera as the default browser, but it didn't work for me.
I have found the easiest way is simply to use a reg fix by using a registry editor (I have been using EveryWan which also allows you to remote control your Touch HD as well as many other useful tools: http://www.sparus-software.com/Device-Management/Products/EveryWAN-Remote-Support,43/THE-ULTIMATE-TOOL-FOR-HOTLINERS.html).
Edit the registry as follows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER
"0"=Opera Browser
"1"="\Windows\OperaL.exe\"
After this everything should be hunkydory
Regards,
Guy
Will give this ago, maybe this should go wiki? if it's not already.
The possibiltys that skyfire/other new browsers may tempt to install but lose the default functionality of opera, which in my mind is superb on the HD.
Thanks Chaps
Hey. thanks for all the suggestions. I did change the registry values, according to the instructions above, I did tick the install option in Opera config, and still I get IE opening when I click on a link in RSS Feed. Anyone has another idea?
Thanks!

This is relevant to my interests. I really dislike IE opening my rss feeds as well.
I also have this problem.
It happened after installing and unistalling skyfire.
Every time I click in a link (for example in the email) it opens in the IE.

Since I wrote the post above I have discovered that using the internal Opera method is the best because not only does it reinstate Opera as the default for opening links from e-mails, but it also resets the default program for RSS reader which was driving me nuts.
I did mention this briefly previously, but simply load up Opera and then type opera:config in the address bar. This will bring up all the settings. Now find the 'Install' section and expand the section by tapping the word 'Install'. Now check the 'Browser First Time Launch' box and then tap 'Save'. It will come up with some nonsense about running a javascript command, but just select okay and then quit out the browser and re-start.
I found the above method reset Opera as my default for all apps, so hope it works.
Good luck,
G
Sure this works. Any way to reverse the setting ? i.e. not to make Opera the default browser anymore...

Gisbourne,
Could you help-out on how to set my Opera as default?. I tried your suggestion on Post # 3 & 11. But it did not did the trick. I tried also the following suggestion:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila2D\InternetWidget\
"OperaEXEFile"=<Path to Opera>
"WebBrowserType"=dword:00000001
I can't input the characters "dword:00000001" on WebBrowserType, coz I got only three (3) choices either Binary, Decimal or Hexadecimal. Tried to put the characters, but my home screen (M2D) keeps on reseting when I go to the widgets.
Maybe you still have something under your sleeve to help me out . Thanks in advance.
Hkeyclassesroot/http/shell/command, edit the file in command with the the address of the .exe of yhe browser you want to use. This is for RSS feeds.

Value data="\Windows\OperaL.exe"%1
I replaced the data to "\Windows\Opera9.exe"
Well it did not reset to home screen but when i clicked the IE browser opens.
Search for JZSmartMort, its a cab file. This will give you the option to select your default browser.
I will help you more with links and such, the problem is that im browsing on my HD.
Restore the reg data you edited in the http/command folder.
Hi,
Hope someone can help me with this. I have installed opera 9.7 beta onto my HD but cannot work out how to set it up so that when I press the internet tab it uses 9.7 and not 9.5. Does anyone have a way of doing this?
i have the same query. i tried search but found nothing.
slightly off topic.
i`m using "Three" 3G provider in Hong Kong and it takes ages to surf the net. i put the sim in my old N95 and the browsing is much faster. so it must be my HD. i tried changing the cache settings etc as suggested when i searched the issue but its still a crap net surfing experience.
any suggestions anyone?

Hi again,
Thanks for that however, the first version demonstrated using total commander does not work as I can't save the file due to write protection, I have tried to remove it using the comment idea by Lace in the fuze mobility site but it still won't save.
The second version works OK but the shortcuts still revert back to Opera 9.5. If I don't use the shortcuts then it uses 9.7.
Using Total Commander, I changed the assossiation of InternetPortal-en-GB.xml to Opera9-ml.exe from Opera9.exe and the icon file as well, these are both in the program directory. This appears to work but I don't know which version of Opera it is actually using, is there a way of checking this?

Sorry - I have no idea how to correct that...
i had to do a hard reset.
then i added links to the opera6 adr file which put the links in the TF 3d, but it still doesnt work very well.
i`ll continue to post if i`m successfyl.
ok, i got it to work. sort of.
firstly i added <BrowserExe>\Windows\OperaL.exe</BrowserExe>
to the “InternetPortal-en-US.xml”.
then i moved the OperaL and opera9-ml files to windows. when i renamed the opera9-ml to opera9 as suggested it didnt work at all, it just says cant find the file. so i left it as is.
if i click on a bookmark the opera mobile small splash screen starts and then it hangs. if i press the "x" and close it, the browser opens and goes to the link. so i suppose it works, but its a bit annoying i have to press the x everytime.
if anyone has a solution let me know. thanks
Having upgraded to Opera 9.7 following the instructions found here I got that to work really easy, BUT does anyone know how to change (or remove) the links found below the Opera button in TF3D??

Hello there. I've searched High and Low, but I can't seem to find this answer. I installed the Opera 10 on my Tmo HD2, and now I want to remove the original opera install. Is there an easy way to do this? I don't see it in the Remove Programs option.
Thanks!
I asked this same question by making a thread 2 days ago and have not gotten a response, good luck
most likely the original opera is part of your ROM so you can't remove it. just set the opera 10 to default and should be alright.
