anyone tried this yet? just got it from market and it runs pretty quick, plus it plays (most) videos that i've tested so far.
it's actually pretty damn good, fixes our issue with embedded flash videos!
Does skyfire only run on android 2.1? I'm still with my stable modaco 3.2 on android 2.1
Just wondering why I can't find Skyfire in the market. Is this due to the 1.5 or because I live in Belgium?
Works perfect on Kimera 1.6(overclocked). Faster than what ppls are rating. Multi-touch would've been nice. Zoom level settings very poor with only 3 levels of which CLOSE is too big while any other far too small. Downloaded through market.
Hopefully multitouch will be introduced later as its currently the only real issue I have with it.
And maybe the ability to set as default browser.
I think I will stick with it for a while as its a very good and quick browser and the flash support is fantastic.
thats weird. when I search for skyfire no results show up?

There doesn't seem to be a trial period for this so difficult to try out/test without actually purchasing the app...demo video looks interesting though...

sorry, released today???
I dont like it its nothing Special:
And you dont even no if flash/scripiting is fully aviable...
just wait for skyfire/opera
yeah not liking the look of this. who would pay for an app when you cant even see full specs on what it is capable of
opera mini is better!
the browser does look ok but opera IMO is smooth.

i agree, i'd prefer to donate once it's been tried
it doesn't even allow you to use a trial version first. If its that good i doubt it'll go for only 14 dollars.
Yeah, well, I bit the bullet and bought this. At least on my Tytn II with original HTC ROM, this software is a dog. Runs way too slow to even be remotely usable. I sent an email to them asking for a fix, or a refund.
have Opera Mobile 9.5 ;D it runs great and is the same like these ****
I dl'd Opera 8.65 and it runs the same as this program...is there something I'm missing?
I emailed them asking about a trial version and they responded that one should be available next week.
Guys, this is merely a touch UI for PIE.
Have upload opera 9,5 (its a beta version but runs great)
http://xirror.com/spread/42241753/Opera_Mobile_9.5.cab.html
guys a rather limited demo version is available from the site, they have also added a note to say that touchflo may slow down the operation of the browswer anyone have a cab to enable/disable touchflo easily ive tried searching the forums but to no avail
If you want a _really_ good browser, I suggest you to try Netfront.
It's the best browser for Windows Mobile.

anyone else tried the new fennec mobile browser from mozilla? Just gave it a shot today. still an alpha release, i believe. could turn out to be a decent browser, but still a little jerky gui, but it seems to navigate to new sites quick enough.
Here is the post with the cab.

Unfortunately your phone only has 64Mb of RAM. We’re targeting phones with 128Mb or more for the best experience.

WTF. I love Firefox on my desktops, but I doubt I'm ever going to use it Mobile.
I tried it the other day, I think it sucks.
I do uses FF on my PC though.
check it out here Opera Mobile it's a tad bit buggy. obviously beta. but flash is working somewhat.. it takes a lil fingering out to get it working. but youtube videos are playing in full screen glory on my expo now!
enjoy at your own risk
if you've already got opera installed this will over install but you will keep your bookmarks and what not.. mine did anyway

I personally prefer UcWeb Browser. Its more a "mobile" browser.
Where did you get the english version of UCWeb? I downloaded it but its all in japanese.

while opera is a fine browser it trys to emulate a desktop experience, which isnt all bad, it does a good job.
UCWeb on the ohter hand doesnt try to be a desktop, is a browser which knows its on a mobile device and does everything it can to accommodate to that fact.
Which model?
The LG Expo or GW820 or 825 is not listed as a model to pick - what's the next best choice for WVGA screen? HTC HD2?

idk, dont remember what i picked lol, just try one
Choose the default version
Tried the HD2 version before you mentioned the default one, Phatride - seems to work ok so far, but still prefer Opera Mobile 10 b3
on this beta and the release i noticed that pictures were blurry and loaded slowly. i did not try you tube because i use coreplayer for youtube because it plays youtube very clear (h264 720p and FLV) if you change the format in the settings under channel
CorePlayer
I have heard of this coreplayer, but don't know where to get it. Can someone post a link?
Is this the best video viewing experience on the lg expo? I used Divx Player on my Fuze, and it did decent. is Divx and CorePlayer comparable?
Thanks.
Just found a link to Skyfire 2 Beta, did a quick search and didn't see any info on this.
Tried it and works great!! Flash included.

sweet!!! finally
This mostly likely contacts the server like all their others when launched and they will remotely disable the flash support...
this is now the baddest browser on the planet for android I would say give this a try even if you tried the first version. Its way better than version 1
It is finally actually a desktop browser with full flash.
Does it run slower than molasses still?

This won't parse on super eclair or myn's warm donut on my sd card i'm going to try to reinstall the system and see if that fixes the issues
It already soft reset my phone when going to google.com Using Super Eclair build.
hmm, one thing i've noticed having not used skyfire since WinMo is that it's alot slower then on winmo, sites take forever to load
Yea, it's still garbage... Flash isn't that important to me...
Doesn't run too smooth on our Phones, but i've seen it on the N1 and it runs silky smooth
I tried the flash and it's nice, but honestly i'd rather run the YouTube app. Opera gives a much nice and faster browsing experience imo
A bit off-topic here, but has anyone been able to play a High-Quality YouTube video from the app without the app fc'ing? Mine only plays on the low-quality...
Running Myn's latest!
you can download skyfire off the android market now

I wonder how it'd run on the incredible...
Edit: lol, nm, I totally forgot they were pretty much the same hardware... I don't know why I thought N1 was 800mhz...
tried it and I wasn't impressed. It seems like a skinned version of the standard browser? Also it was too slow to be useable even with my phone overclocked to 510
Hi, have tried the stock 2.2.1 ROM, it wont play flash videos properly, i mean the audio stream is perfect however the video is very clunky..... at tyms frame changes after 2-3 seconds..... Please help me with the ROM which plays flash content on the browser perfectly......
Thanx
It should be no surprise that Flash runs poorly on mobile devices. Even duo-core laptops are stressed with Flash, especially on OS X.
skyfire .... lool

HW Accelerated Flash 10.1 running on Cortex A8 devices runs great as evident from devices already running with this configuration.
I'm just waiting for official 2.2 for my flash fix.. (hopefully not in vain)

i was kind of joking there, but to me the truth is there is no real rom available that plays flash videos properly, because you need to overclock to very high frequencies and the phone playing flash is like a toaster and the battery drain is absurd.
skyfire may not be the perfect solution but it works really well it gets the job done

does skyfire work to you on 2.1 roms when choosing "desktop" as user agent? because to me it doesnt!
or are you saying you're using this browser in 2.2.1 and it plays properly flash files?

Uh? Have you tried Skyfire? If you did, you know how it works, right? It plays flash videos quite fine.
Thnx for the replies..... i m using Skyfire at the moment however it does not play all the videos apart from that some videos for game reviews specially ask you for a dob which cannot be entered on skyfire......

Thought of trying dat however as per reviews it drains the battery so dnt wana try it.... m gonna try the cronos rom... thnxxx
No...skyfire does not play most of the flash videos on 2.1 roms. If you want to check this on 2.1 rom go to skifire and use the desktop as user agent and go to miniclip.com. nothing will work. or go to youtube and search for a video that is not available in mobile version. ex: eminem and rihanna love the way you lie official video from.
so dont tell me that skyfire works perfectly
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
I've seen (If my memory serves me correctly) Flash running extremely well on the Droid (first gen) which has identical HW to Milestone so I think official Froyo will be pretty good in this regard.

OS X yeah, Mac's tend to bake while running Flash. But I think the latest "Square" beta adds HW acceleration to fix this.
My Galaxy S runs flash fine on a good ROM, and Nexus/Desire/Incredible/EVO/DesireZ/Desire HD & Droid2/DroidX all handle it fine.

Even the milestone and cdma counterpart play flash videos flawlessly.... M using Cronos Rom as of now and some flash videos work on it however others are still bad.... Maybe will get to enjoy dat only wid the official 2.2 which will be out in Q1 2011 in India... m sure it wont come before April or May in India
