Where are bookmarks stored for stock browser? - HTC EVO 3D

Hi, I'm playing around w/ a rom I'm making and I'm really new to this, but I can't for the life of me find where the stock bookmarks are stored so I can change them. I've gone through a lot of files and google/forum searches and haven't found them. I know on the Nexus S they are in a array.xml file that is inside the Browser.apk. If anyone knows where to change the bookmarks for the 3vo stock browser please let me know =)
Thanks!

Had same issue..go into your browser and press menu..there should be a tab for bookmarks..you can edit from there..also if your on a page you would like to bookmark press menu and add bookmark

I think he means when he building his own Rom so when he flashes the ROM the bookmarks will already be there saved in the ROM

Would love to know this. Seems to be a crap shoot for me when I flash a ROM these days. Sometimes the google backup will restore my bookmarks sometimes it won't.

I can't be sure where the file is that the bookmarks are stored, but I can tell you that Titanium Backup will restore all your bookmarks if you restore the bookmark data (yeah, google seems to only sometimes restore)
TB > Backup/Restore > [BOOKMARKS] Browser 2.3.4 > Restore > Data Only
That works for me every time! Hope this helps

How to properly use Titanium Back Up??

Hey All,
I would like to ask anyone who knows how I can properly use Titanium Backup I would really appreciate it. The problem i've had before is that when ever I backup I never seem to know how to properly back up my apps so I can also back up the data like my saved games on angry birds, and my tags on sound hound. If I back up and thn restore I always mess something up and my roms end up all screwed. please some one guide me!!!!
I usually only backup user apps. Press the options button on the bottom left of the vibrant. Then choose batch, then choose backup all user apps.

Like I said though, doing that only backs up the apps but it doesn't back up the data i.e. shazam tags, etc.

I always select Back up all APP + System data option and that should work
There is a thread on the proper use of Titanium and the best practices, its on my list to find and study today. When I find it I will post and edit.

im interested in this too.
the pain of setting everything up again is actually the only thing keeping me from flashing a new rom. (flashed my mytouch so much that i only kept a few apps)
and can the free version do everything the paid version can do?

thanks alot. I'll look at it now. I hate flashing ROMS sometimes because I don't get my app data. It sucks having to start Angry Birds from leverl 1 every time I flash something!
I use mybackup pro n backup apps. ..gives option to backup apk + data. Has worked well for me. Don't have re -download apps or anything.
I know this doesn't necessarily answer the question but it gives a way to backup apps+data(bookmarks,texts,call log, settings, etc)

If you have upgraded to version 5.0.0 sync to Google has been removed. In the options you will see backup and restore. Works like a champ and keeps them in alphabetical order as well.
I can't even sync from Google to phone. It just says 'Sync successfully' but no bookmarks appear in bookmarks. I already wrote to the support, so I hope they can fix it.

And what version are you using? If you look at my post above in current version 5.0.0 synch has been removed, so no matter how many times you click on synch it won't. All bookmarks to SD does now, is just that, saves your bookmarks to your memory card.
Are you sure? Because if they remove it then why is there the tab for syncing? And I wrote them that it didn't work and they just asked if I have newest version... strange. It is feature I am really looking for. I still don't understand why the default browser don't have bookmarks sync...
I will ask them again to be sure.
hey guys I know this is an old thread, but I was just wondering if a solution was ever found. I have the latest Dolphin HD and Bookmarks to SD, and I hit sync, but nothing is imported

That is because it isn't supported anymore you need to use backup and restore inside of the dolphin settings. From what I remember it was like version 6.9 or so they stopped using it.

Thanks for the answer! I read that in several different forums but it was never stated in any Dolphin forum so I just wanted to check... it actually sucks pretty bad and makes me want ICS even more so I can use the Chrome browser.
It works on my Streak 7 ICS build and it makes it real nice to be able to go from computer to tabler and have all that right there

They discontinued support because they did not agree with Google's privacy policy. Bad enough Big Brother knows what you are looking and for how long, but now they want to know what bookmarks you keep.... Am with you on ICS that is why I can't wait till the Note drops in prices, think Streak 5 seeing it was crushed by a bus in South Korea (hPA's work, _n0p_ said his skill set was well above his and was the one the few that might have made it happen....).

Yeah I hear ya... I was looking at one Saturday at the Samsung store at the mall, and it's lighter than my Streak but just a hair thicker since it has that rounded back, but that makes it more comfortable to hold, and the form factor is no larger than the Streak so I will definitely be getting one as soon as it comes down in price from the clouds or a good used one

Backing up contacts before flashing?

Simple question for all you flashers out there. Setting up and linking my conacts between haxsync, Facebook and google takes hours these days, Is there a way to back up all these setting so I don't have to keep linking everytim I flash?
Are you a GSM user???I think you could copy all of your adress book to your sim card and just import them later.

Get contapps in the market. Its the best. Not so easy to find.
Sent from my XT910 using Tapatalk
exporting to the sim doesnt work. 1. not enough room on the sim. 2. you really dont want to import your contacts when using google to back them up, you wind up with duplicates of everything. All I want is to back up the links between facebook, haxsync and google. I know it seems petty, but that **** takes HOURS to fix right again. Just for that reason alone makes me not want to flash ROMS, and i like flashing...
I downloaded Titanium last night and made a backup of contact/calls. I read somewhere that this backup will do what i want. I will let you guys know sometime today.
I will be waiting your feedback, cause anytime soon my contacts list will get too big and cause the same problem to me.
Just wanted to let you guys know that Titanium works perfectly to restore all of your links from Facebook, Haxsync and Google!!! I have been using Mybackup pro for years now and I can't believe what I've been missing in a back up utility.
Edit: i just want to add, if you don't want to back up all of you data and apk's, just back up contacts/calls, data and apk. this will bring you right back where you want to be.

[Q] Importing bookmarks on SGS2?

I took a backup of my bookmarks with BookmarkSB from the Play store. But all of a sudden my phone lost all the bookmarks during a botched upgrade. THe problem is that BookmarkSB might well try to restore them, but when I fire up the browser neither of the bookmarks are there.
Is there any way that I can use the xml file that BookmarkSB made to restore the bookmarks on the phone. At the moment I am simply considering stripping all the stuff out of the xml file and just save the actual adresses and then open them up one by one and then rebookmark.
But that method is just going to take a long time and be rather boring so I was hoping there was another and more speedy method?. But is there?
Looking forward to hearing from someone with some bright ideas
Stock browser? Maybe u can autorestore from google.

you can simply sync your browser with google to backup/restore you bookmarks. did you tried clearing browser cache->restore bookmarks-> reboot?

Do you mean restore through the browser or through the app again?. And I have Google's backup thing enabled but apparently it didn't sync over the bookmarks last time :/. But I guess I could always try again, might have done something wrong.
So simply delete the browser cache/wipe data from the browser and try doing an import/restore again with BookmarkSB?
Look for a recent post last two days re importing bookmarks it has the answer i think .

{Q} How to reinstall data after complete wipe

Having some issues with rom I'm running, but also want to know for when I flash CM10 from sense rom. How can I keep my texts, email accounts synched, app data, or reinstall it after a factory reset type wipe?
Do I go into recovery and install what file? I didn't see data as an option in twrp, only system (for wiping anyways). What is the best way to do this? I'm currently dirty flashing everything, but that won't always be doable.
Specs: S-off, newest radios/firmware, stock/goodies rom. Ummm, twrp 2.2 I believe.
Use titanium backup to back up and restore apps and app data. Emails and contacts are synced with your Google account. It's not a good idea to backup and restore system apps and data. There are apps in the play store for backing up texts.

U know, I did that on my og EVO and hated restoring each app one by one. I have tb premium now though, so I can one click restore right? For some reason not all of my contacts restore with Google, so I don't trust it. Isn't chrome supposed to back up all your passwords and usernames for websites as well?
Sorry guys, haven't wiped data since og EVO. It really got me hating to flash New roms, turned into an all day event restoring and getting it running again.

I use ROM Toolbox Pro rather than Titanium. I have flashed and restored apps/data successfully with RTP, it's worth the price.

Have to look into that. What features make it better than titback, lol? I've seen it in playstore and even reading the reviews don't get too heavy into what's so great about it. I have pretty much all the other tools it has already like file manager, overclock, backup/restore apps.
I believe u. Just really want to know what makes it so good other than a lot of tools in one app.

Nice interface, easy to use.
Backup/restore of apps actually works (I had issues with Titanium)
build.prop editor is included
Ad blocker
You can manage apps (like Titanium) and freeze/uninstall/etc
It also has some ROM management tools that look pretty sweet, though I have not used them to date.
The developer is also easily accessible via email, and is responsive, so if you have issues you can contact him.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
I love Rom toolbox and its like 50 apps in 1
