Setting the default apps for phone and browser - Atrix 4G General

Ok so I need to give some background... First I rooted mt Atrix and edited my build.prop and adjusted the LCD Density from 240 to 300 (because I am blind )
Well doing that change resulted in the Default Dialer not running completely. If you open the stock dialer and go to the Dial Pad it closes the Dialer. So I have installed another dialer and it works fine mostly. The issue seems to be when I dial from a contact or an email it opens the Moto default Dialer.
Now on the Browser side I loaded Firefox and whenever I choose a link in an email it opens the Moto default browser.
So now to my question... I see where I could set an Application as Default but the button is greyed out. So how can I make the new dialer and Firefox default?
Or does anyone know how to make the Moto Dialer open with my LSD Density set to 300?
TIA

Anyone got an idea...

Replacing Contact browser (Developper Question)

Some applications like the phone app (cprog) use the default contact browser (which I really hate) and I am working on a new contact browser that would work with my chubby fingers. I would like to know how to make it the default contact browser.
Thanks
There is a program Comm Manager setting changer switcher thing a ma jig made by nncuong and tom_codon where you can change your contacts mode from default to pocketcm
I wonder if that would work?

[App Idea] Slide Launch

I came up with this idea due to mbvarian's landscape fix for manila using mortscript. However, that thread is nearly dead and im hoping my problem can get resolved and we can see a cool app out of this.
Concept: Choose which program launches and closes when opening/closing your keyboard, with exceptions for specific applications (like lock orientation, minimize, close, etc)...
Why im requesting:
Im using spb mobile shell and love my custom portrait layout, id love to open the keyboard from the today screen and launch my secondtoday layout... when I close the keyboard, minimize secondtoday, and if i open it again it unhides secondtoday... the benefit here is a lightning fast switch between layouts, especially if you can lock the programs orientation in memory individually.
Other examples of how this might be useful:
1) From the dialer screen, you could set a mortbutton menu to pop up when you open the screen to give you a add number, contacts, recent calls, call voicemail, etc.
2) From calendar, opening keyboard could automatically switch to create a new appointment
3) From file explore, you could set mortbuttons to display your favorite folders, i.e. start up, storage card, windows, start menu, pictures
4) From text messages, it could launch a new text message, close it and sends and closes...
Im sure you all get the idea... I just think it would be cool to take a little bit more control of our phones by adding some additional control over a keyboard that is taken for granted a bit. I mean ftouchsl and ftouchflo are great, but if the touchscreen has that level of in-depth control, i think the keyboard could too...
Feedback is greatly appreciated... and if anyone can help on my spb problem, please message me the modded mortscript... the spbwatcher i think is whats affecting my results.
bump... anyone?
I would love something like this, but im not sure how easy it would be, a mortscript might be able to do it.
A cool app would be, when the phone is suspended, if you turn it on by sliding the keyboard it opens a new textmessage, or some other app you use with keyboard open. But if you slide it when the phone is already on, it doesnt do anything, so as not to disrupt the app you are currently using.

Settings not being saved (opera and windows)

I've tried changing the amount of tabs I can open simultaneously in opera:config but after a soft reset it reverts back to only 2 (which isn't nearly enough). Does anyone know how that is happening?
The same goes for a change to the keyboard settings. Ive tried editing eT9.Rhodium.kmap.txt so the mail button is set to Tab, but a fsoft reset reverts that change as well.
Anyone an idea?
I had the same issue with mine. I kept changing the setting and eventually it stayed at 5 tabs. Not sure what I did differently other than I was persistent.
If you want it to work you need to kill the opera process completely because on the TP2 it is always running due to the push internet. Several ways to do so. I used this method.

Install the cab. Reset your device. Open Opera and change the settings you want. Exit Opera. Open again to check if settings are saved. If not, change settings, exit opera, restart device. Now the settings should be saved. You can now uninstall the cab or keep it if you like it.
Let me know if it works for you.
I had that issue a while back. I've since given up on going into opera:config.
I find it much easier to just copy the opera.ini file over to my desktop, edit it accordingly, and then copy it back. Try it out. It's not as daunting as it sounds.
I'm a little confused, I don't see anywhere in Opera where you can change the number of tabs. Do I have to go into a separate app to change the Opera settings? I'm stuck at 2 tabs which is worthless.

how disable rotate in htc messaging

how disable rotate in htc messaging
I haven't tried, but I should think delete (or exclude) the values
"MessageClient"
and
"MessageEnhancement"
from both
\HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName
and
\HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList
in the registry
not sure about the "tmail" and "Composer" values, but just backup the registry keys and experiment..
not work
deleted but not work

Did you restart your device? System-wide registry changes need a restart so Windows re-reads the registry.
yes restarted but not work
work but not work in new massage
did you also try to remove the "tmail" value and/or the "Compose" value..?
what's the use of it anyway? are you typing messages on a rollercoaster? or at sea?
I'm having very slow rotation response in sms messaging client? It take about 8 to 10 seconds for the screen to change if you rotate it. Rotation is fast on all other applications. Also this happens whether there is only one sms or many. I tried to disable the rotation even but even if I remove all the entries for the gsensor rotation it still rotates. I checked the gsensor folder in the registry to make sure there is nothing left in any gsensor folders. Any ideas why it rotates so slow or how to disable it?
here's how I did it:
install Touch tools. in it's rotation manager delete any entry that has anything related to messaging.
now open the registry and search for "rotat" (yes, no "e") you'll get plenty of results, some of them are in subfolders related to messaging. change all values to 0
as I recall, this has disabled rotation for everything but the new message window (I hard reset my phone lately and rotation works fine so I won't try it again) so basically, you can open a contact and choose new text message and it won't rotate, but if you open the messaging app and choose new, it will rotate.
you could always just turn auto rotate off

[Q] Default Desktop for Internet

I really like the stock internet browser on the S4 and would like to keep it. However I have not been able to find a way to default the view to desktop. I know it has the tickmark in settings, but I do not like hitting that every time. I have tried about:debug to get the debug menu in the setting and changing the UAString to Desktop, but that does not seem to have any effect and will still default to the mobile site unless you go in and select Desktop View in the menu every time you are on a mobile site.
So has anyone figured out how to make the default browser default to desktop view? If not I am going to have to switch to another browser.
Thanks
