From the browser, press the options button, select More>>Settings>>Select User Agent. Change it from Android to something else, such as Linux Desktop.

From a Home window, press the options button, select Settings>>CyanogenMod settings>>Interface>>Widget Buttons. Below the selection area, under the Button Modes section, select Sound Modes. Choose Sound+Vibrate/Vibrate, or Sound/Vibrate, or one of the other half-dozen options you like.

Thanks

I like dolphin browser, but can't seem to get the back button to actually go back a page, is there something I'm missing?
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App

I have a lot of trouble with the back button in Dolphine too.. specifically if flash is involved on the pages, but not sure that has anything to do with it.
For the stock browser, type "Aboutebug" into the address bar, then check the browser settings.. There will be a new menu option called "Debug" where you can set the UAString.
HOWEVER. if the browser closes and your run it again, you have to do the "Aboutebug" again (but don't have to change the UAString). It seems to ingore the UAString unless you do the about:debug everytime you launch the app. You'll see what I mean after a few times. Just create yourself a bookmark to about:debug, so it's handy.

It seems the "tab history" add on for dolphin can be used as a work around to the back button trouble we are having, I had actually stopped using dolphin because of it, but I think ill use that add on and deal with it. I've had some issues where dolphin seems slower to load than the stock browser, but its silky smooth scrolling and extra tools (gesture controls especialy) make having to use the tab add on a worthwhile hassle.
I think ill make a gesture control for going back a page and see if that works any better

In Dolphin HD, I just tap the gestures symbol in the lower left corner and then draw a < on the screen. Works every time.

Multitasking is possible. You need to switch between apps using the third button from left on the lower bar. By using the first button ('back') or the second button ('home') the previous app doesn't close, but won't actively work either.

Stock As Desktop
To set up your stock browser to run like a Desktop Browser.
goto url
type about:debug then enter
then goto "settings"
then "Debug"
touch "UAString" and select Desktop!

I've never had a problem using the back button in dolphin.

Good find bro. This is exactly what we needed to cure the typing lag in browser. Thanks.

Thanks for pointing it out.

Bowser HD for pad is very good, i really love it...i tried it a little...and it is very good as if it wasn't a beta version. I decided to keep it instead of dolphin hd.

Yeah, definitely like this browser. Only problem I've seen with it is that it uses the mobile google for default when you search in the address bar, can't seem to find a way to change that.

alot snappier than the stock browser...hopefully they roll out w/ updates to make it more efficient.

Seems pretty good so far. Much less lag than on stock browser but its still there.

I like it alot, just having an issue with bookmarks, and the dolphin add on bookmarks to sd doesnt seem to be working with it, anyone else having that issue.?
Either way, using it as my main browser, having much Less lag than stock

After opening the dolphin browser app press the menu button in the bar below and press More. Select Settings > Dolphin Settings > User Agent and select Desktop. That should work.

This works for most sites, but some still load the mobile version. Google search is one of them; another is boston.com. this is one of the only problems I have with the beta.

I suppose I should clarify, even after you change the UA it appears that the search from adddress bar function is hardcoded to use the mobile google search. If you go straight to google.com, sure you get the desktop search, but sometimes it's just more convenient to use the address bar instead.

I can't seem to activate gestures, for some reason.

Click on the Play button in the top right corner.
You can now use your gestures.
To make changes, a menu screen will appear at the top.
Click on the mechanical wheel on the left side of the page.
Then go to Gestures.

how to change default browser search engine?

Is it possible to change the default search engine in the stock browser, not to bing or yahoo, but to something like duckduckgo.com
Looked at about:debug and about:config but couldn't find anything to change keyword.url
Cheers..
MJ-12

In the browsers address bar, type
about:debug
And hit go, it'll look like it's not done anything, but if you press
menu > more > settings
They'll be a load of new options and one of those is the search engine.

Thanks, but as stated in op I have already looked at that option, it only gives you four options.
I was thinking more about how to change to a personal search engine like duckduckgo.com
I think it should be more in the about:config settings

Sorry, my tapatalk was playing up and only showed me the first paragraph of your post.
