I've been looking for something that I don't think exists...What I want is a shortcut to just to start Chrome in the 'bookmark' page. I don't want any of the bookmark widgets for the home screen - if you have more than a few bookmarks those become useless anyway.
Does such an animal exist? Or is there a way to do what I'm trying to do?
If you close all the open pages before you close Chrome then when you open it you should get the start page, which will be on the tab you previously had it on. I leave mine on either bookmarks or the sync page and it always starts new pages on the same tab.

Hi
First time question about how do I load my internet favorite short cuts onto the G Tablet ?
I tried doing it with a UBS mini drive & thought they went but did not find them on the GTablet.
This is no problem moving them from desk top to lap top & sharing them with friends.
Your suggestions please.
Thanks !!
Are you talking about bookmarks? If so, I just synced my Google Bookmarks with Dolphin HD. Got this from another forum and it worked perfectly:
First, you need the "Bookmarks to SD" add-on for Dolphin, available from the market. Download and install it.
Open Dolphin then Menu > More > Settings > Add-ons Management > Bookmarks to SD
Select Sync from the top of the screen and then choose the first option to sync Dolphin bookmarks to Gmail.
Sign in to your Gmail account and the Dolphin bookmarks are sent to your account.
Then choose the second option to sync Gmail bookmarks to your stock web browser.
Exit Dolphin and add the LauncherPro bookmarks widget to a homescreen.
From any homescreen choose Menu > Preferences [not Settings] > LP Widget Settings > Bookmarks Widget > Get missing thumbnails.
Your phone will now grab thumbnails for your bookmarks.
On the LaucherPro bookmarks widget, press the sync icon at the bottom of the screen and all Dolphin bookmarks are now scrollable in the LP widget

I am not looking to do this from a phone but from my desktop to a USB thumb drive to the GTab, if possible.
Any ideas out there ?
Thanks.

You can do this directly from a desktop to your Gtab using the method I posted above. No need for a thumb drive.
I am really wondering if there might be a simpler way to do this ?
If I put them onto a SD mini drive from my desktop, which is Window, & use the SD mini drive in the GTablet will it recognize this Windows based info & install it ?
Thanks !!
Not sure. You can give it a shot. I found the other way pretty simple and it only took me a couple of minutes.

You don't say what browser you are using on tab or PC. If you use Firefox on both there is a sync app.

You dont need any app to sync if you have firefox on both. The sync is built into both the desktop and mobile versions of the browser.
I love the widget but hate the lack of organization. Anyway to rearrange them?
Yeah, I've been wondering the same. Can't figure out how to rearrange them in-browser either...
There are a couple of apps that will let you rearrange bookmarks. I use BookmarksSB
https://market.android.com/details?id=app-com.happydroid.bookmarks
That one force closes upon opening every time.:/(
On the details of that app it says:
Warning: on Android 3.x/Honeycomb, do not use this application if the Google Chrome bookmark synchronization is activated.
Could that be the problem?
No not synced.
Problem may be I have another browser.apk installed. I believe it was ported from the xoom or transformer with the quick controls.
i don't know why the stock browser doesn't let you rearrange bookmarks.. i've been using dolphin, which does let you, and is more user friendly. it also gives you full screen browsing. you could also set the uastring to desktop without having to debug all the time.
Thank you for the App. I was wondering how can i rearrange my bookmarks. Google should have included that within the browser.
Got a questions.
Regarding email app, anyway one know how can you select all emails at one instead of going through all the email to select them?

I got a Galaxy Tab 10.1 last week and set up bookmark syncing with my Google account. Now, every time I open a bookmark on my tablet it moves it to the end of my bookmark bar on Chrome. For example, ESPN is the first bookmark in Chrome, on the far left. If I use the bookmark folder on my Tab and open ESPN when I go back to my PC ESPN will be all the way at the far right. The same thing happens to folders I have in my Bookmarks Bar, the entire folder moves all the way to the right. I have sync set up on Chrome and it doesn't matter which computer I use, the same thing happens. I move them back on my PC, but as soon as I open them with the Tab they go back to the end on my computer. The Tab is running the TouchWiz update, I never used it without so I can't say if it happened before the update or not.
I've searched around and while there seems to be some sync issues, no one has mentioned anything like this. I'd tried an Iconia and Transformer and neither caused this issue. It seems minor, but it's quite frustrating!
anyone have ideas?
same problem here...
I've installed Chrome Beta and it seems pretty sweet. One of the reasons I installed it was, I want to be able to carry on from where I left off on my updated (desktop) bookmarks..when out on my mobile!
I've sync'd with my Chrome d'top bookmarks and all seemed great, but.... I've clicked Back-Back-Back and I'm now at Bookmarks>Mobile Bookmarks.... How the heck do I get back to my list of my Desktop bookmarks??
Can't for the life of me see how!!
Have you tried just putting your finger on "Bookmarks" > Mobile Bookmarks?
Press Bookmarks and itll show Desktop, Other and Mobile Bookmarks.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Yep....that's what I've been doing. I long press bookmarks and all I've got is 'mobile bookmarks' - nothing else. In chrome's settings on both on my phone and desktop pc, it's saying I'm signed in to gmail, but if click on other devices...there's nothing there (apart from some words telling me how great it is etc...)
Edit: NM....sorted it out by signing out on both desktop and phone - and then back in again. Doh!! Thx for your replies though
Hi guys,
I started using Chrome some years back on my desktop system. There I have all my bookmarks arranged as folders inside my bookmarks bar.
So far so good. Now on Chrome Android these bookmarks show up as desktop bookmarks.
I have two Android devices:
Nexus 6 --> Everything is fine, I use my desktop bookmark bar and when I close and reopen Chrome it opens the last bookmark page I used - fine.
Sony Z3 Tablet Compact --> I use my desktop bookmark bar and when I close and reopen it ALWAYS opens some stupid list of all bookmarks, unsorted, one huge list. I always have to navigate manually back to desktop bookmark bar bookmarks, every time I restart the browser. This is really annoying.
Uninstalled Chrome, cleared data and cache, but all to no avail.
Anybody any idea on how to fix this? Must be sth do do with Sony's ROM as all the other phones and tablets I have and had do not have that problem.
Thanks,
terry
