[Q] open bookmarks with alternate browser??? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to add a bookmark to the quicklinks but have it open with a browser different to the default one.
I have opera, skyfire and ie installed and would like to have the bookmarks open in the most suitable one.
Thanks

easy, create a normal shortcut to the program, (tested this with opera and iexp,) don't have sky installed but probably works, i think its a browser standard, it works on the pc too.) then copy the shortcut to your pc (or i used notepad for win mobile)
open the .lnk file in notepad, you will see
22#"\Windows\opera9.exe"
then just add a space followed by your url
22#"\Windows\opera9.exe" http://samsamuel.co.uk
or
24#"\Windows\iexplore.exe" http://samsamuel.co.uk
save it, copy back to phone and drop into windows/start menu/programs to be able to assign to quicklinks, or wherever you want to store them.

cool, thanks!!

Pdf file on homepage

Hi. I'm trying to put a shortcut to a pdf file on my homepage but when I click on it, it takes me to the list of all my pdf files. I might as well put the default PDF Viewer there. Am I doing something wrong? Why doesn't my selected pdf file open?

[Utility] Launcher Stubs for Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Wikipedia

Hi All!
I use my Windows Mobile phone with the Classic Today screen, and use the Easy Today Launcher plug-in to create a grid of icons for my most commonly used applications. This doesn't work very well for IE favorites as I cannot set a custom icon.
To get round this I've created some little programs that simply launch Internet Explorer with the URL I specify, I then add a custom icon to the program and compile it to an executable. I then tell Easy Today Launcher to use my little programs instead.
If you want to use these, download the zipfile below and via Active Sync put them into a folder on your phone. On my phone I use \Program Files\Launcher Stubs.
I've also created a page for these on on my website (which I can't link to due to not having posted enough to XDA but I'm easy to find via Google).
So far the zip contains Facebook, Google+, Wikipedia, and Twitter. The URL that each executable points to is the mobile version of the website.
Happy to answer any questions or simple requests for more stubs...

Folder based DNLA sharing app?

Hi,
I have a ton of mp3 folders neatly organized on my GS2 and sometimes when I have people over I´d like to simply share a playlist that I´ve created on a folder. Is there an app that lets me do that? So far I´ve only found apps that allow you share files by manually selecting each file...which would mean having to select each song one after the last one ended.
WiFi File explorer lets you share any number of files/folders. You just type an IP address in any browser window.

[Q] Is there an app which would allow you to open url links made on PC?

Since shortcuts for web pages made on PC cannot be used to launch the browser on Android and open those web page links, is there an app which would allow you to browse files on your Android and then directly open url web page link shortcuts?
I use Opera on my PC, and Opera Mobile on the phone and have linked both using Opera Link. It syncs my history, bookmarks and passwords etc. between both devices. So if I want to open a url i found on pc, I bookmark it and its there on my phone too...
I see what you're saying - on a Windows PC internet shortcuts have a .url extension and when you click on them it opens whatever url is in that shortcut.
I don't think there is an equivalent on Android. I use bettercut which allows me to put shortcuts to browser bookmarks on a home screen or folder - I click on the shortcut and it opens that web page in browser. The website must be bookmarked in your browser however.
I tried putting URLs in a text file - clicking on the text file opens notepad and you click on the url which then opens the website. There's no direct way of clicking on an internet shortcut in a folder on Android though without using the afore mentioned methods. Maybe someone will code an app.
Yeah, if someone ever reads this in the future, pleas post if you came across anything that would allow us to browse through folders and click on url shortcuts created on PC and have them open a web page in any browser.
This has nothing to do with synchronization or previously used links.
This is about random never before seen url shortcuts that you come across inside folders which were originally created on PC and you simply want to open the web page shortcuts inside those folders *directly*.

Check this out, guys: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zapek.android.stuntzurl
Good luck!
u might use chrome to phone if youre using chrome on youre pc
if u are on android 4 download chrome browser from the market it owns a very simple sincronizing function
Although you are a correct, that was not the original question.
Thank you handfish for the link! stuntzurl application allows you to open URL links in a folder on your Android phone with a simple click.
oooh stuntzurl does not work after updating to Android 4.4 KitKat.
If anyone comes across an app that does, please post!
"Toggelis Url Opener" does what you want and it works with Android K, L, M and N.

FileShuttle-kind of app for Android?

On mac, I use an app called "FileShuttle" that lets me drag files onto it on my dock and it would create a random name (normally a bunch of numbers) for my file (to avoid file name conflicts) before uploading it to my own FTP server. So for example, when I drag my sample.jpg into FileShuttle, it would be called 4283748013.jpg instead.
I want to now if there's an app like that for Android, only, instead of having to drag and drop, I want to use the built-in "share" functionality in Android so along with Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox, etc, I want to have an option to "Upload to FTP" or "Share with FTP" with the file file still being randomly named. After uploading, the path to the file (which I'll define) should be copied to the clipboard, ready for pasting.
Anyone know of such an app?
