The easiest way to do this is to go into settings, then manage applications, then find the stock browser and select clear defaults. Then the next time you open a link or browse a web page it should give the option to use either chrome or the stock browser for these actions, click the box that says use this by default. Then click on chrome and you should be good to go
That dont help.... I need Covenant eyes to think chrome came on my phone and not the stock browser....

This seems like a harder work around than its worth if you haven't figured it out yet.. Why not just install a different app that's does the similar thing however actually allows chrome to be monitored?

Whenever I click a YouTube link it opens in the browser instead of the App.
Is this pertaining to the "data tapping" patent that Apple somehow was awarded and does anyone have any idea how to make it work as previously intended and open in the YouTube app.

Thank Apple for this. It's part of the patent that had these phones held up in customs. It's the same on any US based Sense 3.6 rom and Sense 4.0 rom such as the HTC One X. The app that does this is htclinkifydispatcher.apk.

If you have root you can use a file explorer and rename htclinkifydispatcher.apk to something like htclinkifydispatcher.apkBAK. This will break a few things. You won't be able to open any links from the default text app, google talk will crash everytime you try to open a link, and you won't get youtube links to work in stock browser, but all other programs work fine.

Jesus Christ...I froze mine with titanium but YouTube still opens in browser. I will try it your way and see if I can live with it.
Why must Apple mess with HTC. I have had a Samsung Galaxy S and GS2 since the first Epic launched and this is seriously the one thing I hate about the EVO. Esp if I have 6 tabs open when I try to click a link.
On Viper also not that that matters.
Does any devs or anyone have any thoughts about reverting it back and having it be stable?
I would pay for the old way...I didn't always wanna use a certain app when hitting things and now I'm forced to set defaults.

Freezing doesn't work, I forgot to mention after renaming the file you have to reboot. Also make sure to clear defaults for the stock browser, and while you're at it, I suggest downloading ICS Browser+

The irony there would be if you did that, so you could open links to YouTube with YouTube app, then somebody texted you a link to a YouTube video. Lol
But yeah, this infuriates me The way apple screwed us!! I mean, it used to work beautifully. It was genius. Can't wait for some AOSP ROMs, as they won't suffer from this. Everyone should smash apples

If you use a third party messaging app it's fine. Honestly HTC just needs to add more options to their app associations. Sense ROMs from other countries don't have this problem so a custom sense rom using their apks would solve this problem.

Its not the right to use it that has them in trouble its the method of opening links that apple claims they have the patent. Well not claim they do have it. Its sad they would give a patent for such a common function.

Can you please extract your htclinkifydispatcher.apk from your international one x and post it so that we can install it over our american version.
That would be most helpful.

XScope browser with adobe flash support. Uninstall any version of adobe flash before you install and you will get a popup to link to xda thread with modded flash apk. It has tabbed browsing and the pages stack within the tab, swype to left to go to previous pages without having to reload them.
Edit.. If you have flash player 11 on your phone already you are good to go. The link in browser is because you can't download flash on jb. Sorry for not doing my homework beforehand.
Thanks. Xscope is my favorite browser, but i haven't bothered to install it yet on JB because I've been flashing with full wipes so much lately. Appreciate the tip.

Ok. Thanks. Let me try it.
I can't find it in Settings>Account>Google anymore. I rely on that because I use Quick ICS browser. Not a fan of Chrome. Btw, Chrome automatically syncs the bookmarks. There is Settings>Account>Google>Chrome.
Yeah, looks like they've dumped the feature . Damned annoying if you're using stock browser which I like a lot better than Chrome - not just for ability to continue using Flash but I've gotten used to that cool little thumb navigation thing. Grrrr gonna have to set up local bookmarks now :crying:.
Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h.chromemarks&hl=en
Works great so far.

Yeah! Nice tip - thanks mate. App works great in JB stock browser. Didn't think it did at first as I was looking for an additional "Account" folder as in ICS. In fact it syncs everying now under the local folder.
This was my only real complaint with JB (still can't think why they would have done away with such a useful feature though) so far. One very happy camper here: warp speed browsing plus Flash plus Google syncing plus the cool and improved thumb navigation thingy :laugh:.
Now if only I can find a way to get ADB and root back .........
There is a free fix, no root needed

If someone wants to test this... it "should" remove the stock bookmarks. It MAY reset you Sense setup so you might need to restore it after. I can't test this because I delete those bookmarks from my ROM. That said PROCEED WITH CAUTION until someone test it. Who wants to be the Guinea pig? Should work fine.
EDIT:
Tested and it DID NOT reset Sense. Checked my bookmarks and I only had google dot com. That is the one I left behind. It looks like it worked like it should.
EDIT 2:
Since this did appear to work I removed it. You would probably need to add that in before flashing the ROM.

I couldn't remember but it maybe that that file is only read when the ROM was flashed.
I've tried editing the database that holds the bookmarks, that didn't work either. I've also tried a few bookmark managers, they haven't worked either. I can't believe that there's no way to get rid of these damn things! !

well I don't use the stock browser so I'm not able to see exactly what you mean. I figured it would be as simple as hitting menu go to bookmarks then long press and choose delete.

I disagree, I like the stock browser better. My Nexus 7 came with Chrome on it and the first thing I did was load the stock browser. The bookmarks are read-only and can't be deleted in the manner you specified.
You need a writeable kernel to permanently delete them, or s-off.
Thanks for the reply, but that isn't correct. I am both S-OFF and have a writable kernel (elkay 0.95) and the bookmarks still cannot be deleted. They are somehow protected from deletion. I'm ready to offer a bounty to anyone that can get rid of these things!!
The only way I have found to get rid of them is by disabling the stock browser and grabbing a different browser from the store. I know this probably isn't what your looking for but this is the only method I have found to get rid of them.

What browsers are you guys using. I've tried to give the stock browser a go but it sucks. I have a zagg screen protector so maybe thats it. Just seems hard to press links.

The stock browser does not suck at all. I think it's faster/smoother than all other browsers.
You could give Google Chrome a try. It's a bit slow/choppy for me though.
There are a bunch of browsers in the Play Store to try too (Dolphin, etc.). Give them all a try and see what you prefer.
I've used dolohin browser before and like it. I just wanted to give the stick browser a far shot one more time.
I use Opera mini. It's very fast and I love it!

But I use Chrome for the link between phone and computer. Luckily dont experience this clunkiness you are referring to.

Stock browser does not sync with chrome bookmarks...an absolute requirement for me. I have never been able to get any of the bookmark sync across platform things work anywhere near as well as Google's built in solution, and I am not going to f%$$ around doing manual syncing. So I use the AOSP browser. Fast and light.

Find Chrome to Phone in the App Store, it's never not worked for me (as it is, in fact, built by Google).
edit: This doesn't support bookmarks anymore apparently... weaksauce. I always click the button to send to my phone what I need to read later, anyway.
I think it may be the thickness of my zagg screen protector. After using both browersers back to back the stock browser loads pages faster than dolphin but it just seems hard to click or tap anything. Sometimes I have to tap 3 times.
How do you install flash on the stock browser?
