I don't use Internet Explorer, i prefer Opera instead, so a want to remove Internet Explorer from ROM. Which Packages should i delete?
Browsing
BrowsingIE
BrowsingCore
Or is any of them needed for other browsers to work?
As long as I noticed is BrowsingCore not related to IE and Browsing is used for the sms application... BrowsingIE can be removed without any problem...
However I could be mistaking, I'm only cooking since a month
Just hide the icon... I wouldn't remove a system application like IE. I'd imagine it would cause all sorts of issues.

Hi there! As mentioned in the Wiki, I changed the SearchURL of Livesearch to:
http://www.google.com/m/search?output=xhtml&source=mobileproducts&mrestrict=xhtml&q= (and tried others as well)
This works then the default browser is Internet Explorer. When my default browser is Opera, it doesn't work and it only opens the Google searchpage without searchresults.
I notice that Internet Explorer opens before the GPRS connection bubble comes up, and Opera opens AFTER that. Could this have anything to do with it? Do you know of a way to resolve this problem?
Thanks!

Hey guys. I really need to get IE off of my Wing for parental reasons. Is there anyone that could either cook me a ROM without it, or give me noob-friendly instructions on how to cook my own ROM and leave IE out?
parental reasons? care to explain? =)
Anyway, the problem is that some functions of the ROM may depend on IE being there, kind of like how you can't play mp3 ringtones without WMP.
What you CAN do is disable the wifi and data services from running on the phone, which is relatively easy.
Aserg can help you with the wifi, but to disable the data, use MoDaCo's nodata to disable the data connection and, if you want, MMS.
Download JustClean EBO and then just remove the BROWSER folders from the SYS folder.
First off, thanks for the bullet speed response.
Second. what functions would require IE? Any chance that I don't use any of them?
Third. Is there a way to disable Wifi without having it just as easily come back on?
Fourth. I don't have any data plan, but will I lose any features (other than web browsing) without having wifi?
1. You're welcome
2. I don't know, but there might always be something. I refer you to one of the more senior cooks (ivan, ttran, itje).
3. You could just not turn it on in comm manager. This is usually foolproof to an extent, but if they want assurance, ask Aserg how to disable the services.
4. Nope.
Thank you so much ivanmmj! Worked like a charm! But how do I delete it's icon from the program directory?
Open your initflash.dat file (I think that's what it's called... I'm at work, so this is from memory) using NOTEPAD. Look for the internet explorer.lnk and delete that. Then save the file and open it with a HEX editor. Then remove the first two parts. Something like FE FE or something. Or, if you don't want to recook, go to your \Windows\Start Menu and delete the Internet Explorer.lnk since it's not "cooked" but created whenever you flash/hardreset by that dat file I mentioned.
Very Good Good
I have started noticing that my Internet explorer returns empty pages nowadays. It used to display this behaviour only when I was in EDge mode. But now it is doing it in 3G mode too. It says connecting, locating, opening and then it returns "0KB" for any webpage it used to connect to before. I did a soft reset, took out batter and reinserted it. I also removed the history and temp internet files from internet explorer. I have Kaiser tweak on my device. Could that have done anything? I reseted back the kaiser tweak settings to default but that didn't help either. Has anyone experienced this before and what did you do to resolve? Anyone?
thanks

as long as you didn't delete the history and temp files folders you should be fine (and i think ie recreates them automatically even if you do delete). I use opera mini 4.1 beta. Give that a shot. Works ALOT better than ie and downloads are faster; just don't use it for secure transactions (banking etc.).
good luck.
http://www.opera.com ... follow the url
I am currently using a FUZE on tmobile, and the internet explorer is working through the START menu, however the main TF3d INTERNET screen DOES NOT WORK.. I was wondering if there is any way to designate that INTERNET tab to use explorer or another browser (since I'm guessing that ATT had is assigned to some of their crap and that's why it isn't working).
ALSO, I'm wondering what other internet programs are out there that I could use (opera, etc?). I'm hoping that some other browsers will be able to get sites that I can't get on explorer (remember, I don't get 3g since I'm using this on T-mob, but I don't know if that's why the sites arent working).
ANY INFO WILL HELP THANKS. (also, I'm not a hacker type, so please use laymen terms for this, and also more basic procedures)
Hi...first time posting, so thanks in advance for your help.
Trying to keep my diamond from being used to look up pictures on the internet
I'd like to be able to keep wi-fi available for 3rd party applications like skype, but I need the browsers to go...specifically the iexplore.exe in the /windows folder which is impossible to delete.
The ideal solution would be to password protect browsers or the wi-fi connection. A text-only browser would also be great, but only if I can get rid of iexplore. If there is no other solution, I'm willing to disable or lock wifi altogether.
Are there any browser-less roms without the iexplore.exe on them, or a possible way to corrupt the integrated iexplore.exe program so its unusable? This is very important to me. If you have any ideas at all, please let me know.
How did you go with this?
I'm looking to do exactly the same thing.
my friend if I understand you you want to disable the Internet from the SIM to stop dialing in the net.....If thats right you can use NoData it disable the settings to make Data-Connection
for the browsers you can use opera mobile 10 and use the settings to stop showing the pictures
sry for my englisch
