Internet explorer 9

Now since ie9 has been released to public beta can we get a chrome2phone addon for it that would be perfect or someone try to find a work around to get it working. Thanks.

Nobody cuz it has nothing to do with the Nexus One, which happens to be the forum you're posting on.

Well, kinda, a little - He (and others I guess would too) has a Nexus One, likes what he sees in IE9 & would like msie2phone
+1 from me.

I hate to admit it, but I've been comparing the latest IE9 Beta to the latest Chrome6 Beta. IE9 (for HTML5) performance is a GOOD DEAL better on almost every site i visited (both MS and non MS sites). I estimated some of the performance tests were more than 3 times faster in IE9!
Give the tests a go here: http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/
While I am staying with Chrome for now, I will definately be tempted to go back to IE if HTML5 in Chrome does not improve.
Disclamer, it could be that the Chrome installation on my PC is no good!?!

Yeah IE has always and will always suck. I can't possibly think of any reason somebody would want to use IE when there's Firefox and Chrome (even Opera and Safari). With anything made by MS you have to spend all your time configuring it and apparently you need to go through an entire workaround just to set Google as the default search engine. Don't even attempt to tell me that you really prefer "Bing".

Actually I hate having seperate web browsers I have tried them all and I love ie especially since the ie9 beta was just released. But everyone has there own preference and mine is ie all I was wanting was chrome2phone to run on ie is their anything wrong with that.

Nothing wrong w/u'r question. I'm no longer using chrome since IE9beta rocks!

I been working all morning on trying to figure out how to create a Haddon for ie9 so we cab have ie2phone I will get it eventually once I do I need help developing a webpage for this.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Any luck yet on this? I've been using the IE9 beta, and it is sweeet. Only weakness is I really hate having to open firefox or chrome to send stuff to my EVO. We really need IE9-to-phone.

I know there's Android 2 cloud, like chrome 2 phone, but in reverse. Throwing it out there in case someone hasn't heard. I use chrome though, so can't help you there. =D G' luck.

What are some of the best Root apps?

Got my first smart phone. Thunderbolt. I'm a techno weeny so it's not really a transition, rooted the second day of owning it... Cake.
I am just trying to get some idea's of some good root apps out there.
So far I have, Root tools, wifi root tether, ROM manager, Root explorer, SetCPU, Terminal emulator.
Any thing out there I missed, or better then I have?

What do you want to do?

Maybe titanium backup pro?

ROOT EXPLORER awesome app
Quick Boot
Titanium Backup
Adb Wireless
Move cache for root users
startup manager

Buy the full version of Titanium Backup, restoring apps with free version blows the big one.
Also get AdFree Android

I want to do anything worth doing.
I am just trying to get an idea of the kind of root apps out there.

what is root explorer used for if i may ask?

It allows you to go into the phone system files and change/ modify things....not for the faint of heart BTW. It's like astro file manager on steroids. Once you start modding your phone this app is an absolute must have. Personally I think this app is as important to have on a smartphone as root permissions. Just my .02
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

Yeah Root Explorer and Titanium Backup are by far my two favorite.
Beyond that setCPU just so I can OC when playing n64 *rocks out*

Titanium Backup is a must!

drocap2 or ShootMe are good screenshot apps. I like to have Custom Font Switcher so I can easily switch fonts. I use Wireless Tether for tethering. And of course TiBackup and Root Explorer.
Also AdFree is a must if your rom doesn't block ads automatically.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

Adfree is a must even if you Rom does because you roms blocks go out of date.

does wifi root tether get around the 2gb verizon cap on data? (i know the vzw one is free right now until the 15th)

Yes, wi fi tether does get around the cap.

Thanks every one! Now I have to find a thread with some good info on what ROMs are the best...

For me I have
Titanium Backup pro version
Root explorer
Set CPU
ShootMe
Bloat freezer
Rom manager premium
Adfree

I don't thing the wireless tether app supports 4g at this time, but I could be wrong (no 4g in my area). The mobile hotspot does though until may 15 for free.

4G works in wireless tether, I actually get a faster connection than doing the hotspot feature. My laptop connects faster to the network on start up.

Torrent App for Phone

i have tried both ttorrent and dtorr and neither one works. i can add torrents but they never start downloading.. i am using bamf remix 2 beta 5. any ideas? has anyone been able to get torrents to work?

Am pretty sure Torrents around here are taboo and not to be discussed but I could be wrong. I'll follow the thread out of curiosity.

I dont see why? torent apps are 100% legal its what you downlload that "Could be illegal" and he was not asking anything about that kind of stuff

I'm on stock Rom and ttorrents works really well.

I use transdroid to control my seedbox. I think you could set it up to control the torrent client on your pc.

Adownloader is the best I've used. It has no download speed limit and its free.

I use swarm. The downloads start pretty fast and i haven't had a problem so far.

In tTorrent - did you go into Settings and uncheck the "Use Wifi Only" option?

Torrent-fu is my favorite.

In re-reading the thread, it appears you were asking for local clients for the phone. Torrent-Fu controls a remote PC. Sorry about that.

Make sure in torrent under settings that you uncheck the option to use WiFi only.

this is what i do as well, it works really well for adding torrents to deluge on my vps. as far as using a torrent client on your phone that downloads directly to your phone, i would not do that personally unless you are using a public tracker like thepiratebay since any reputable tracker is most likely not going to allow a tracker from the android market. i tried andtorrent or something similar just to see if it would work on one of my private trackers and i was immediately banned from the site for using an unapproved client.

I really wish people would quit getting all bent out of shape about torrents. Not every torrent is something illegal. However, it makes it easy to see who has ever downloaded a linux distro by how much they think torrents are bad (hint: is a primary way to download most linux distros).
If the apps arent working already made, just compile one using android NDK (native development kit) (provided by google if you search) or try something like http://inportb.com/2010/10/17/debian-packages-on-android-phones/. The later lets you port debian arm packages to your phone for use and debian includes the biggest command line torrent software out there, rtorrent. For a cli app, rtorrent is very easy to use and you can just let it run in the background without the fear of it hogging your system like some gui apps might. Only downside with using debian packages is they're probably not going to use the same libc built into android, which runs faster, but oh well, shouldnt make a huge difference.

I liked swarm but I have had the best luck with andtor.

Google market update

Just thought i would let the captivate community know about the new Google market interface in case you dint see it:

And thanks to some guy named Wesley for the apk link:

Tested working on Apex 8.2 but only the apps/games pages not books or movies but that is probably because i am in Canada not the usa
Edit: 2.0.27 was released a few days ago here is the link to the thread on that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180092

yup works nice here too...Mosaic V
I put the apk in the post, not from me, got it from flimsy888

I can also vouch for Mosaic V. Works and looks great.

Wow, such a great improvement. Way faster than that previous piece of crap. Actually lets you choose your google account you want to use. Didn't see changelogs? Maybe just overlooked it. Either way, don't wait for the push, download the apk yourself, well worth it!

Working just fine on CM7. Kinda makes me feel like i'm on WP7 though lol. Very smooth, flashy too. I like it lol.
Here's what video rentals looks like. Pretty much all products on market look this way. Featured tab is where it's at though.

Changelogs are above the app descriptions listed as "What's New" just under the "Rate & Review" section. Much easier to find than expanding the info & scrolling all the way down like previously
EDIT: Oh, and I love the new app. Was really laggy until I rebooted & works great now!

thank you so much for this been looking for it!!

Works on Cog beta 3 ... tons better then original!!!

put it on your sd card then open it in a file manager if you dont have one download astro from the market. if you are on stock at&t then this is technically sideloading and you will either have to enable sideloading (search in general or dev) or flash a custom rom

just download and select open. installs as an application so you dont have to boot into recovery

Force closes for me running cm7 nightly.

Ya sorry I had a brain fart. I just loaded with droid explorer, though I imagine if I would have known the location I could have pushed with adb. On a side note it does look sexy.

While the movies thing is nice, Google will blacklist your device from playing your rental or movie download if you are rooted. They'll take your money happily though and not tell you this til after you bought it.

I thought I heard something about rooted phones won't be able to rent or buy movies from the android store a while ago, not sure though.

Looks good on Cog 4.5ish

Which two apps would you miss most?

I'm always looking to find new, wonderful apps, so, out of all the apps on your Bionic (which you've added from the market, not stock), which would you miss the most if they were to suddenly disappear from the Android world, and why?
For me:
1) FBReader (as I love reading Ebooks, and the Bionic screen is good enough to make reading on it worthwhile)
2) JuiceDefender Ultimate (WiFi control and nearly 2x battery life improvement? Yes, please)

hmm

Better Keyboard as well as all the other "Better___" apps.
They were kicked off the market cuz of some copywrite violation.

Elixir - One stop shopping for everything going on with your phone.
Caustic - Its like having Reason in your pocket! (for all you musicians)

One app I miss is SNESOID. It was removed a while back and some other developers have been taking it's spot, and in some cases posting the exact same app. I still have the app, but it's a shame that the original SNES emulator for android is no longer up.

Evernote because it's the all around best note taker/organizer for what I do, and Runkeeper, because it's a great motivator and tracker and saves at least $100 as I don't faced to buy a separate device.

If we're talking root related apps that's hard, bootstrap, CWM, root explorer, and titanium backup. Non rooted apps I'd say dolphin HD and hex defense.

DroidEmu is basically the same thing, but it includes all Atari, Sega, and Nintendo systems. The UI is identical
