Has anyone found a working method to remove the Verizon bookmarks on the stock Rom? I used Bookmarks Manager on my Rezound, but it's not compatible with the DNA. Thanks!

Agreed, that is annoying!

Anyone find a solution yet?
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.
Chrome is so much bester, faster and cleaner lol

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.

So, if anyone have tried Chrome Beta for ICS rom, do you guys have the display problem with it? I often got the display to stutter/mixed up and make the page really bad. Sometimes, when I want to type the URL, my keyboard just seems to be a block of image and I have to guess where the letter is located (the keyboard still function but the image just went crazy).
Is this problem on Amaze only? I have been using the Chrome Beta on my HP Touchpad and I have never gotten this problem at all.... So, I am just wondering if this is just my Amaze, or is it a common problem? If someone can tell me how to fix it, that'd be great
I love Chrome Beta since it sync all the bookmarks and the page that I open on my tablet/desktop/laptop all at once.... But, the crazy stutter/mixed images just drive me crazy; especially when I can't see where the letters are when I need to type...
I thought that was only my phone, or the Rom I was running. I also have that problem, distortion, stuttering, and it just goes bonkers on me

I love the aosp browser.
But here are the two things I love about chrome beta:
1. Sync all bookmarks on my pc/laptop browser
2. Sync all webpage that I currently open on my pc/laptop/tablet etc. So I can switch between any device and still access the website that I open easily.
Are there any add on or apps that can do those things?

Firefox does that as well.
So I've removed the app but run into problems opening youtube links in 3 apps. They are stock browser stock messaging and Google Talk. Google Talk crashes after removing htclinkifydispatcher stock messaging just won't open links period. Anyone know which rom to copy these apps from or a way to modify these apps so we can get the normal android "how to process these links" action?

Be sure to go into manage apps, select browser, and hit clear defaults. Then, for good measure I restarted my phone. After that, you will get the option to select what program opens the links from then on.

Breaks Phone Numbers
This appears to break the ability to click phone numbers in e-mails. No apps open when clicked a phone number. I also don't see Dialer or Phone having an option to clear defaults.
Argh, this is annoying. HTC should really make sure the stock linkifier app is really detailed with its options and settings. It sounds like netierh the stock app nor root and removing it provides a good experience for linking. The only option is to load a custom ROM?
It seems like you'd have to replace any app that HTC modified to depend on htclinkifydispatcher.

Can't we just get the international version of htclinkifydispatcher.apk??
Would an older, working HtcLinkifyDispatcher.apk from Sense 3.0 be compatible?
Nevermind, that apk doesn't even exist below sense 3.6

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.

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?
Is there any way someone could pull the stock browser.apk so I can side load it on my S5. The new s5 comes with chrome but I kinda like the S4 stock browser for certain things. I know there is at least one other member with an s5 that would like it too. I searched Google but couldn't find it.
