Fennec (Firefox Mobile) Alpha

Hey, has anyone managed to find a file in .apk format of the recently released alpha? they only way you can get it from mozilla's site is in a .install file, which, because of our darling At&t, we cant do anything with...

Got apk from here

Thanks for the link

I know it is alpha, but what are the thoughts so far on it? I find it very slow. I hope they can get gear monkey incorporated on this
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

They proboably won't start optimizing the code until it goes beta. Alpha is more about just getting the feature set right and making sure everything works moderatly well.
More than likely they re-used as much code as possible from the desktop variant (to get it going) which is def. not optimized for a mobile device.

It looks promising to me. I like the way tabs are handled and add-ons will be really cool if they ever take off (I need fire gestures).

Thanks for the link, dang you AT&T .........

It runs like crap, and fc randomly, dont know why they even released this to the puplic,

I will say this about, its much more functional than the pre alpha I've been testing the past couple weeks, certainly not ready for day to day use, but its nice to see mozilla making progress

I know it's alpha, but as soon as I load it it freezes. They aren't kidding about alpha, maybe they should list it as nearly operable.

It looks like it will be cool with the weave sync and all. Unfortunately I can't get it to run for more than a min without a force close.I did visit gmail and it wa formatted for an old flip type phone and just text...not for a smart phone like we are use to setting with an android browser.

I don't even get an FC. App just dies randomly. Otherwise, it looks really nice. I'm digging the interface. Once it gets stable, this will be my default browser

Netflix without device check!

Just tested this and it's working on CM7 maybe you should give it a try?

little late to the party?

Almost all the Netflix apk's work on CM7. Still doesn't work on froyo.

I had just saw that it was supposedly a legit made Netflix app that no longer had device checks (not some hacked app). I may have jumped the gun, but I thought I would share just in case.

Ditto. No dice on BAMF 1.6.3 either.

Smh when is this app officially coming out?

Soon I hope. I also hope they don't put root detection on there like they did on the Charge with the Blockbuster app.

I would wager that without proper codec support the thunderbolt won't be seeing netflix until HTC gives us an update that includes the needed parts (or our friendly developers bundle them up for us).

Stonaged Dweller,
Please Netflix is working with all GB roms. GB will be required for Netflix, hence the reason it does not work on your thunderbolt and never will until it has GB.
/\ Dumb Assumption... SORRY /\

How do u kno that?

It runs fine on some phones with froyo, just they have the dependencies installed correctly for what it needs.

Agree- it is working onthe Incredible which is on Froyo.

I was running dark slide on my x with netflix dining great

read the thread located on the same page as this one. unless you know how to cross compile libraries for arm, you wont get very far though.

Netflix on the market? for stock 2.2 no less

So I downloaded netflix from the market, and it says in the list of supported devices that the HTC Thunderbolt is one. Now it does install and accepts your username password, you can see your qeue and it attemps to play the vid, but fails with a DRM required message. any one else seeing this? if you search for it it will not appear, but if you select apps, all apps, free apps then scroll down its listed. click install and try to enjoy a mostly usable app.

yep no go for me also. Someone on Android Central claims his works on stock but yeah general consensus says other wise.

Mine works on CM7 perfectly! I did a search for Netflix it found and downloaded fine. Logged in and started a movie!

it will never work on stock or rooted froyo for the thunderbolt (at least not without netflix directly supporting it). person that said it did on that forum is full of it. amount of effort to make it work would not be worth it. GB will be out soon and nearly everyone has it already on here. Anyone who wont root to get netflix obviously doesnt want it bad enough

Ok ok, im not a dev, but.... Look at the LG Revolution. It is running 2.2.1 and netflix runs perfectly out of the box. in my ignorance, I dont know why it would be any more dificult to modify it to work with other froyo devices. Im sure one of the software type bullys will pick me appart here.. By the way... XDA isn't a friendly place any more. boo to flamers... (will probably get flamed for that) HA

Netflix does NOT need GB to function, it appears as if it needs it for the TBolt but not overall. That being said they made Droid Bionic support available so take everything with a grain of salt. Maybe GB will be coming soon and rather than fix issues with the TBolt again soon they figured set it up for GB and users can use it then (and root users now ).

I just installed Netflix on my stock TB & it works very well. It was a little glitchy for the first 3-4 seconds, maybe 5, but after that, clear as a bell. No complaints here. About damn time...

Netflix app was just updated again!!! Everyone that had issues before try it out!

Yep update seems to fixed the play back issue.... WOOT!

Yep, confirmed working here too. Stock Froyo unrooted, latest update.

Confirmed. Just updated. Netflix now streaming on stock Thunderbolt. Thank God!!!

I never said all of froyo...I said thunderbolt + froyo. However, I am glad to see that it looks like netflix finally fixed it for the thunderbolt on froyo (the only way I said it would ever work for it).

Uninstall, download from market & reinstall.
I never understood the appeal of watching netflix on a cell phone. I tried it a couple of times & never finished the movie. Tablets & netbooks are much better suited for that job, imho

Netflix works with cm7 for the thrill. Yes it is a beta somethings dont work like 3d and hdmi but you will have netflix

Same thing for me, blank screen than return to homescreen. Not installing a custom rom just to have netflix. 3D is the reason I bought this thing.

Like someone else mentioned, we'll most likely have to wait for 2.3 (gingerbread) in some shape or form before this app will work for us.
I'm hoping CM7 pans out quickly and gets some of the errors resolved. Its the only rom I've ever wanted to use on my captivate

Im running CM7 on my thrill and Netflix opens just fine. Dont know if it works fully but i imagine it does. Android 2.3.5 on here

Another netflix update
Just noticed that Netflix had another update today. I'm on stock rom (only rooted), and this version opens up fine and can play videos.
Now everybody can enjoy Netflix without needing a different rom.

Yeah this is working for me too, guess I don't have to cancel my account now

I highly recommend it

the LAG thread --__--

Hey
just wanted to start a thread about the lag i've experienced on my nexus 7 and wanted to know who else has experienced it. With me its happened randomly a few times like ill exit an app then when i swipe through the home screen its really jerky. my unit isnt rooted, everything stock even the launcher.
So yeah if anyone has experienced it post BELOWWWWWWWW (ray william johnson voice) lol.
Just wanted to add this link http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=37258 for people to visit to help raise awareness to Google about the issue.

Have you gotten the latest update?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

Make sure you aren't using a 3rd party rotation app such as 'Ultimate Rotation Control'
also please update to 4.1.1

Not a single issue here... Google accomplished project butter in my opinion...
You may have an issue with the Tablet...

You'll find that the best way to make your case is to take a video of it, so we don't have to rely on your word alone.

Trust me I wouldn't make this up. And your right but every time it happened I was no where near my phone. Yeah it was updated to 4.1.1. I've read a review in this thread about his not that smooth as well. I'd say download a few apps and try make it multi-task and let me know.

Who knows, you could have a defective unit. Probably not though, so maybe your best bet is keep your phone nearby for when it happens again. The only lag I'm willing to admit at this point is the stock keyboard and swiftkey, if you're a speedy typer. However, if you turn off "spell checker" (ridiculous that they haven't fixed it yet), then you should be fine.

No lag here, try a factory reset, i usually do a factory reset on all my new devices before setting them up.

My nexus 7 was lagging too, it was after i installed this one app. I uninstalled the app and it would still lag but only on the homescreen. I removed the play store media widget and the lag disappeared. I have about 8 widgets (constantly refreshing) and a live wallpaper and still lag free. If you still have that default media widget, try removing it.
Though I still see lag, mostly when im downloading apps or they're installing but once the app is done downloading/installiung the lag goes away. This same issue happens on pretty much every android device i've ever owned, even happens on my iphone so not a big deal.

I have this issue as well. The two times I noticed it I was browsing with chrome and the scrolling started to lag. I exited the app but I would still have lag throughout the device; it would also not recognize my touch all the time, I would have to click something multiple times. Not sure whats causing it.

I'm getting some lag too... Tomorrow I should receive my other unit from Google and ill try them both. It's sad cause my dual core nexus performs better

It lags because of the poor memory (poor i/o). This happened on the Transformer prime, the memory limited the device speed and lags when your either installing an app, uni stalling or transferring.

Also don't forget that especially on the first day tons of stuff gets synced in the background. When I setup my new devices the first day is almost laggy for some hours until all syncs are done.
Tegra devices doesn't have the greatest memory bandwith.

I been getting a lot of lag after playing any heavy game. N64oid Max Payne shadowgun gta3. I always have to reboot or the tablet is unusable. Its not really lag though its more like the touch screen only works 10 percent of the time you touch it until I reboot. Like if i try to drag an app around the desktop it just keeps dropping like I lifted my finger up. And it does it in any app after even if I kill all in memory. And I had mine since Friday its happened almost everytime.

Not seeing it here with Nexus 7 plugged into wall and switching between the built-in apps and also downloaded apps such Glow Ball, Soulcraft THD Beta, Google Voice, etc.
Are you guys seeing this with it running off of battery (possibly power profile/CPU throttling) or plugged in?
