I can't seem to find the option to disable Adobe flash on Froyo. It kinda lags some of the sites that have flash ads running. Is it possible to disable it without uninstalling it?
Thanks
Either you can go to your browser settings /Enable Plug-ins and set it to "On demand" or "OFF". See what works for you..
Or just uninstall Flash..
I'm using dolphin hd, disabling plugins doesn't work.
Does Adobe Flash actually works on Dolphin?
Yeah, it works fine.
you installed flash but don't know how to uninstall? It's like any regular app, just uninstall it at your settings>applications
But i have it done in settings of my browser and chosen for the option "show flash on demand" (onclick that is)...
I didn't say that I didn't know how to install, but asked if there was a way to have it turned off. It doesn't seem like dolphin hd has an on demand option.

I really enjoy the froyo update and all, but I was a little disappointed by the slow speed of web browsing (and basically the phone itself, though not sure if related)... I uninstalled flash, and the phone is lightning fast now.. browsing, Froyo interface, everythng... its ridiculous how much flash slows it down. Is there a way to disable flash completely until you need it?
For now, I'm going with uninstalled until I need it, then a temp install till I'm done using it.
You can install it and have it active on demand. Is under settings in the browser.
Browser > more > settings > enable plug-ins > and than set it for "On Demand"
So everytime u need flash just press the arrow that appears instead of the flash thing and it will activate it. Once u. close the browser the flash is disabled. It doesn't slow down the phone at all.

This is the solution and I wish it was default install but its not too difficult to find. There is no way I'm un-installing flash.

Wow, this is what I was lookkng for! Thanks!
Does it count if I never installed it?
I'm not sure if this app has hit the Xoom yet, but since it has worked wonders on both my Transformer Infinity and my Nexus 7, I tried it with my Xoom, and it really improved my browsing experience. It works on AOSP browser and Chrome and may also work with other 3rd party browsers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34885711&postcount=58
Install the app (you may need to reboot) and grant root permission, and then, in your browser, type about:debug and hit enter. Go to browser settings and you should see the debug menu. Put a checkmark next to Set CPU Upload Path and Enable Light Touch. I uncheck View Java Console and leave everything else as is. Close settings and enjoy your new, smoother scrolling browser.
I also like using an app like Cool Tool (available in PlayStore) to monitor my ram. So far, so great!
I had nothing to do with the development of this wonderful app and the link points to t3hSteve who's the one who should get the thanks. If you try it, share your experience!

How do you get the debug menu in Chrome - about:debug goes nowhere? Works great in stock browser tho, thanks!

Yeah, I think debug menu may only work in stock browser as I've laid it out. Maybe someone else knows how to do it.
I encountered the same problem. My assumption was that enabling it in stock browser automatically enabled it to work in chrome....
I feel like its working though. The browsers are fast

Ok so this is weird as hell, and i've already called HTC about this and they provided a little bit of help.
First, this is my first official Android handset (Why the hell did I wait so long omg?) after kicking Apple to the curb, so I am still learning all the tricks and shortcuts, but I have a fairly good knowledge as to how the OS works now.
My Issue is I am unable to install 3rd party apps. I have the APK downloaded, I have the option in settings to allow 3rd party apps to install, and when I try to install it takes me to the install screen showing me what the app will have access to, and has cancel and install at the bottom. Cancel works, as well as show info, but the install button does nothing. I've tried from the download section, as well as ASTRO File Manager.
HTC Mention double checking to make sure third party app install is enabled (I can't even get to the install screen otherwise so it obviously is) and they mentioned to do a soft-restart by holding down the power button until it completely reboots.
Here is the kicker, after doing the soft-restart for the first time, I was able to install the Humble Indie Bundle Beta App. Worked perfectly fine. But now that I have downloaded the games from that App, I am back to the same issue before where I can't install the APK's and the soft-restart isn't fixing the issue.
I've goggled the crap out of this and haven't come across really anything like this, except some mention that AT&T Blocks third party apps, but it looks like that was on older HTC phones, and since I was able to install 1 third party app, I don't think that's the case. Any help would be appreciated!
*********** TLR SOLUTION ************
If you can't install 3rd party apps, after having checked the option in settings, remove the "Google Settings" app, and then run your installs. If you are using a new install for the first time, pick Android Installer and not Verify and Install to avoid issues. Scumbag Google. :laugh:
Re-install Google Settings at your own risk afterwards.

Google recently installed a new "installer" package from the store. I think it was called "verify and install". Anyway, the first time I tried to install from the Amazon store, it asked me which installer to use - Android or the new google installer. I chose the second program (always). After that my programs would not install. I had to remove that program and then the next time I made sure that I selected the default Android installer.
I don't know where the new installer came from. I didn't ask for it to be installed.
Anyway, check your apps list and see if that is installed.

Just searched all apps installed for both install and verify. There is nothing under verify, and install comes up with Certificate Installer DemoFloPackage Installer and Package Installer, all with android icon's, so they appear to be default stuff. I'll definitely keep looking though, thank you for the tip!
Edit: Your suggestion game me the idea to see if there was another installer application on the appstore that might work. I tried Easy Installer and it still just installs using the regular (or I suppose default) installer, which leads me back to the same problem =(
Do you have any apps like Lux Autobrightness or screen filter running or similar? If you do, that is your culprit. Those apps act as an overlay to your screen (that's how they adjust brightness) and as a security feature the install button is disabled when an overlay app is being used to prevent an overlay app from being able to hit the install button. It works after a reboot because the app has not yet started running.

I do have twilight installed (Like F.Lux) but it looks like stevedebi's original assessment was correct. The app is "Google Settings" attached is a screen cap of the culprit.
I unlocked my bootloader to install cynogenmod (decided against it) and when I went to re-install all the apps, the "Android Installer" and "Verify and Install" option came up, and once I saw the icon was the same as google settings, I opened it up and there was the verify options down at the bottom.

Thank you for this info! Completely forgot about this and was getting frustrated when the install button wasn't working..
I tried the whole "deleting the screen filter" app thing. It works momentarily after I "soft" reset my phone, but only for one install.
Every time, I have to reset my phone, so something else is in the way.
My phone is not rooted, if that helps at all. And it's an AT&T galaxy s2.
When I go to `App info` in Chrome app, `LAUNCH BY DEFAULT->No defaults set.` & `Clear defaults` is a greyed out. How do I reset it?
Do you have some other browser set as the default now? If so, you have to clear the defaults from that browser's app info. When you launch a link from an email, do you go straight to Chrome now or are you asked which browser to use? If you get the question, you have no default browser set.
I only have one browser that came with the phone (google chrome) and that's what I'm using ..
You probably have no defaults to clear since you only have one browser on the device.
Doesn't matter if you have 2 browsers installed, chrome is a system app, I have both aosp and chrome browser installed and clear defaults is greyed out on chrome. I use alternate app picker module for xposed framework to set aosp browser as my default browser. You can also freeze it with TB or ROM toolbox if you wish to remove it

Eh, I have uninstalled (or hidden, don't really know) quite some apps using this method:
Forumpost on XDA about unbloating without root
(XDA) Uninstall bloat without root
However, I encounter a small issue now. I also uninstalled this Browser from Vivo. Mainly because of the overkill of chinese in it, as well as that I (obviously) didn't use it, and I couldn't really avoid it. (switching the default browser to Chrome seemed to work, but whenever you leave that setting-screen and come back to it, this Vivo Browser is back in place. Uninstalling using the above helped, but now I encounter another issue. This Browser also was malfunctioning with certain radiobuttons on websites, which also made me not use it for login on certain public wifi's where I am regularly. However, without the Browser, I can't seem to let Chrome open in order to guide me to the Wifi login screen at all. Sometimes, on some wifi's, the redirect works (so I just open google.com in Chrome, and I get redirected to the login page straight away), but on some wifi's that is not happening. When in the Wifi-setting-screen I tap on "Tap here to authenticate", nothing happens....Anyone an idea?

You should be able to do the same with the browser as you did with the launcher, set the browser as default.

True, I found the setting. However, whenever I leave that settings window (after setting the default browser to Chrome), and come back to it later, I see that it has swapped back to the Vivo browser. And for stuff like publicwifilogin I still got this vivo browser (and that caused some issues since it has issues with certain radiobuttons)...
