Default [Q] Changing Browser User Agent in TouchWiz

I changed UAString to Desktop in debug mode but websites still load as mobile. Any idea how to do it properly?

Wish I knew, but I so far haven't heard anything about it in terms of a solution. Its one of the only things holding me back from flashing TouchWiz, because I know it would aggravate me way to much

I've tried using the stock browser apks from the xoom, transformer, galaxy tab 10.1 on the touchwiz rom and still nothing. I think I'm doing something wrong though.

Also, how about a fullscreen mode in the stock TouchWiz browser? I have found no way to do this like in all other browsers. The top bar is always showing I think.

And Jesus, no re-flow of text on pages to resize to fit when zoomed in right? F'in riduclous.

Nevermind, I have some type of popup that occurs when I touch the right side of the bezel.

you can change the UA string the exact same way that you would in any other android phone.. just type "about:debug" into the address bar, then go into settings and select "debug" tab. It's the second setting.

@gdog1977, you have quick controls enabled in the "labs" tab of the settings. touch and hold either side of the screen until a menu pops up, move your finger to the very bottom icon(four horizontal lines), select "settings" in the popup, and then select the "labs" tab on the left. then de-select the "quick controls" option.

Yes most of us are quite well aware of the about:debug mode, but again the problem is not switching it to the desktop UA, it is getting that setting to actually stick after reboots, etc. Anybody have any other ideas??
