Is there a browser out there that has the address bar not at the top or make it auto-hide? i hate how i can't see the whole webpage until its done loading because thats when the address bar disappears. its also a pain to get it to reappear (hitting menu) im running a hero rom.
Yes, Loccy's BetterBrowser is incredibly awesome;

Does it really work with Hero ROM? I tried it with MyHero 1.1.1 but I always get FC.
i was looking at that but i want to be able to use multitouch for zooming, not the double tap method. i also use a hero rom. i just want something that can pull the address bar down without having to hit menu.

In case no one has seen this yet, I highly recommend to try this "build" of Opera Mini:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455655
It solves the issue of small fonts, and has no problem with data connections or permissions. It is FAAAAST. It is best version I've seen, and I've tried a bunch of them.
After 10 minutes with this, it is hard to go back to another browser. My advice -- embrace the "mobile" rendering mode, don't bother with the desktop pan/zoom mode, and enjoy simply paging up/down (with the left/right dpad) on pages that are reformatted almost perfectly on the small screen.
UPDATE: and, by the way, to use your BACK key to go back in pages, add this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd\ChangeBackVKeyCode\Jbed_NativeUI = dword:00000008
(This makes the BACK key map to BACKSPACE, so it will also delete text when doing data entry, etc.)
I will certainly give this a try........thanks for the highlight.
I downloaded and installed the cab. The browsers good, but is there anyway to make the menu button at the bottom larger, because currently I am not even able to access it.

Well the easiest way to change that would be Menu -> Settings, and then change the font size, but if you can't access the menu button at all I think you can change the font sizes in the registry. I don't remember the location off-hand though.
could anyone post a screenshot please??
which version is now the best?? 20081016 or 20081203??
this browser is super fast, but i miss the zoom and drop down menus dont seem to work
I like it better than the default opera, but I have noticed some issues.
extending the keyboard seems to cause trouble, it causes the touchflo gui to cover up the opera menu bar. Tilting does not change from portrait to landscape.
Awesome browser. I wish you could zoom with the scrolling motion on the D-Pad like opera mobile, or that you could zoom at all. Thats the only problem. :/
Oh and if you start with your keyboard out the Touch Flo doesn't interfer with the menu bar at the bottom.
EDIT: I changed the font size, so zooming isn't needed. I love the mouse, it is so awesome. How can I set this as my default?
is this the one with the rainbow loading screen for the jvm?
I love Cyanogen's roms. I just do not like his 5 home screens. I know I can just leave them blank, but knowing they are there bothers me.
is there anyway I can delete the extra home screens?
I tried using Akirah's, which works great I, but the usb to 3.5 mm headphone jack converter doesn't work with that rom. I need my music on the go!
From home screen tap menu>more>extended>homesreen....... This is were it gets a little buggy. The slide is reversed, If you put it to 7 you have 3 home screens, If you put it to 9 you have 1 home screen.

you can try that, but if it doesnt work its probably because cyanogen may not have bundled the advanced launcher in his rom because of its buggy-ness. if yo u really want it, some themers include the launcher or you can go to the development forum and grab it from the dev's thread. search "advanced launcher'
aHH, so if I get this advanced launcher on there I'm GTG?
Sounds like a plan.
Thanks guys!

My bad..... Just removed an experimental theme and all is well with advanced launcher. No reverse bug!
I have the same problem as OP, I dislike the amount of Home screens. However, I've tried Advanced Launcher and it seems to only slow down my system.
Does anyone know how to actually edit some file to manually change the amount of Home screens? Three is fine with me, I never had a problem with that number.
Looks good even still in Beta http://hpp.intuitit.mobi/home
Some Screenshots from my Magic attached.
it looks really nice.
Nice job...changing the UI altogether really puts a spin on it. I like it, but I have a bug. The bookmarks always forcecloses. I currently have Dolphin Browser set as the default and that might have something to do with it. Also, it looks a little weird when viewing the notifications because the top bar is missing. Overall, I think I'm going to make a permanent switch from dxTop to this.
I love this app!

what clock widget u using bro?
The clock and date widget come with Home++. I'm using it too on my Mytouch and love it!
I am waiting for my new HTC magic and I am checking different stuff out with the emulator. I came across this homescreen++ and installed it.
I love it! It makes the interface so much smoother!
Great job and keep it up!
Thank you very much ^_^
I been using it for a few days now, very nice and thanks for making it free. The only bug I really come across is sometimes when I hit the home key it shows the right half of the home screen and the left half of the next screen to the right. I can easily move it to center it, no big deal. It hasent happened today yet (8 pm) but it did it twice yesterday.
best home replacement ever it is my default
What kind of speed hit are you guys getting? Or is it fast?
its same speed as the original one.
battery drain is minor.
I get lag from it, I stopped using it today because of it. I'm not going to uninstall it though.
Can I use this application while my MT3G is rooted? And how do I install it? I can't find it in the market place. Thanks to those who answer my questions.
You can use any app while your MT3G is rooted.
You install it like any other app.
From the market, search "home++" to find the app.
I really liked it - but the deal breaker was having no instant way to see if I had any new messages. I'm used to just looking in the upper left hand corner, not having to hit an extra press just to see.

You can re-enable the notification bar on top by long pressing the notification button on bottom. That way, it stays on top all the time.
I love this program, fast and easy to use The best app. on home screen
I like it but uninstalled it until you can customize bottom icons a little more. Keep up the good work! Also, is there any way to have whatever alerts you have in the top status bar show in the Home++ status bar?

Yea this is currently my nr 1 annoyance in Home++, you should be able to put your own shortcuts here and the icons themselves should be customizable.
Also I would love to be able to categorize the apps in the dropdown panel.
Other than that I really love Home++, it's the fastest Home replacement app I've tried with the most useful features (task manager rocks).
Hi,
Fyi, I just noticed that Dolphin Mini browser is now out of beta, available on market.
The key changes, for me are that you can now select plugin behavior, and setting a gesture to Homepage now correctly goes to the Speed dial page, so I can use fullscreen almost 100%.
Jim
I really like it so far, seems to scroll smoother and they downsized those monster tabs! I'll have to try it on my phone.

Yeah. Looks nice.
It took me awhile, but I'm starting to like Dolphin Mini.
I still think that Xscope is faster, but I've been having problems with Flash (other thread here), and I really want a browser where I can leave it in full screen to take advantage of the Gtab screen size, without constantly pressing Menu to navigate.
The Dolphin Mini 1.0 allows me to do that.
Basically, I set all of the links that I usually go to on the Homepage/Speed dial page.
Then I set a gesture (a small "h") to go to the Speed Dial. Then go to fullscreen.
So now, whenever I want to go back to speed dial, I just do the "h" gesture, and I go from there, staying fullscreen all the time.
Jim
Just downloaded the Dolphin Pad browser from the market and is oh so sweet. Made for the tablet and has gestures. Check it out.
is it that much better than dolphin v6?

I think so. It feels much more like its built for a larger screen than HD. No more finger at the bottom (gosh that got in my way). Not glitchy anymore when swiping bookmarks open either. My screen used to stick when I swiped to open bookmarks.
i still like the stock version =P since i've gotten the xoom i havent went for any browsers yet
I do like this new browser a lot! It's about time they made a browser to focus specifically on tablets, more specifically... the Honeycomb tablets. The settings menu looks so much like the Honeycomb system settings menu... split screen windows. I'm coming from Dolphin Browser HD myself. I think I will be converting to Dolphin Pad soon.
Looking forward to future updates!
always use dolphin since I bought my xoom. Thanks.
I may be dim here, but how do you get it to recognize gestures? In Dolphin HD you would just touch and hold the lower left corner of the screen.

Is some kind Xoomer able to post the .apk? The market will not allow non-honeycomb tablets to download it, It would be much appreciated.

There is an icon (circle with triangle inside) next to refresh icon on top right. Click it
Awesome! Thanks for the find. I'm not much on Beta so I am looking forward to a final release. I'll follow the thread and thanks again!
I'll try it and see how it handles
Crashed on me once. Other than that, nothing else bugs me about it. Feels much faster than stock... Incredibly.

Nice find. I didn't see that one.
Question. Does Dolphin allow the browsing tab bar to stay at the top? That's the main reason why I use the stock browser because I can press on the tabs easily anytime.
I remember that scrolling down a long web page in Dolphin will just make the tabs disappear and I had to scroll back up to the top of the page before I can use the tabs.

The tabs don't scroll in this version. I like it better than dolphin HD.
Am I the only person that hates having no back button on the top left side for these browsers. I like the full screen button, but when I go full screen I lose the back button...would make sense to add a small back button or option for that.
I also hate the gesture button on the right side, but it is better than the phone version in the bottom left corner IMO.
I love the popup menu on the stock browser, but hate that it hides the tabs...wish someone would copy that or create a solution where the controls can be hit in the corners specified by the user.
I must be holding my tablet wrong
Am I missing something?
Want to import my bookmarks from Dolphin HD to this version but can't find any option to import bookmarks using the backup file I created in the phone version?
And really like this version. Same speed as the phone version but with better ui for the bigger screen.

thank you diablo, I couldn't get it on the market from Belgium (was announced "not available anymore")... I was also using Dolphin HD 6 on my tablet, along with Opera mobile, I'll try this one on my Transformer in the evening.

Thanks for the post, looks like they really have coded it specifically for honeycomb devices though, the rest of us will have to wait.
