Web Browsers

What web browsers do people use? Ive been using opera mobile but it is annoying how when you scroll down on the page it scrolls from link to link. Is there anything in which you can move around the page freely? or am i using opera wrong?
thanks

I personally wouldn't mind a browser such as the safari browser.

Yes, just drag the page around with the stylus rather than using the d-pad.

Try Netfront. I have installed it yesterday and happy with it.

I love Opera Mini - by far the best IMO.
I want skyfire, but I have yet to get my beta invite.

Well Opera mini for me is so far the fastest browser. I try netfront 3.5 and I must say that I like the zoom feature really much but a bit slow.

I've been using NetFront for about a month and it's been meeting my needs. I agree that it's a bit slow at times (zoom activities and loading), but my guess this is due to debug code rather than a core rendering issue.
I'd like to see another drop from NetFront, so if you have problems please provide feedback on the NetFront website.

opera mini got my vote. I love how speedy it is. By far the best.

I have opera mobile not mini and i think is a great browser the download manager is great not like the IE that sometime damage the files when downloading . . .

Iam using Opera 9.5 beta love it!!
And waiting for skyfire..

I tried that but I had the following problems:
1
Sometimes the results are so massive you get lost
2
You are often left flat with no results at all

As a middle aged man you can have problems with the Campus Police.

Opera Mobile Problem
I've searched around and haven't found anything relevant to this. When i last flashed to a rom and went to install my Opera mobile cab i had not problems but i cannot access a secure website with it now. Maybe I'm just stupid and have a setting wrong but i haven't be able to find it. Any help (including redirection) would be appreciated.

I tried installing opera mini and it doesn't appear on installed programs, neither it appears on file explorer...

Open the Java application in "Applications" it should be listed there. Then use the search function or hit up google to find out how to make shortcuts.

Opera Mobile 10 Beta 3

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

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.

psx4droid

There's a free version available bit when I load a game, it kicks me out. The oder versions worked fine on my nexus one.
Can someone confirm this please?

Hi,
The same for me, tested with Crash Bandicoot, I can see the virtual pad for 3 seconds and then it asks me to select a game again.

Jups tested it, and doesnt work it kicks me out also.

Thank you, now psx4droid also work on my optimus 2X.

i used fpsece on my windows mobile when i owned xperia x1 , it was really nice to play some games with keyboard in slowmotion for most of them , but now i have lg2x it's really fast but , i cant play any racing games becouse onscreen layout butons...it's really sensitive to much if you ask me ....when i steer left or right it keep steering even if i let the button ....how do you deal with that ? sorry for bad english

Just FYI: The developer http://www.zodttd.com/ released a new beta 3.0.7 some hours ago, which works on my Optimus X2 (even though sound is a bit strange on some ROMs). You can get it right here: http://t.co/T6vsQjc

Strange, the 3.0.6 is not avalaible... Where is the post on zodttd.com ? plz

Beta 3.0.7 and 3.0.6 doesn't work on my LG OS.
The emulator didn't save the path to the seleted bios. So the emulation didn't start.
My speccs:
- modaco v10b Fr10
- cpasjuste 2.6.32.9 - 5 psycho kernel
How is your working configuration ?

I've tested it and it doesn't work on my phone either, so i just bought FPSE and that really works like a charm on my phone. It's fast and smooth and runs well everything i tested so far!

Sorry, this topic is related to psx4droid !
Buying FPSe is not the solution.
But zodttd is aware of this problem. Quote from twitter:
@HarrisMAhmad Hmm. I know the Optimus 2x is incompatible currently. Fixes are coming for that device too. I'll have to debug.
Click to expand...

btw:
psx4droid supports eboot images and some games are working under psx4droid but not under FPSe and vice versa.
So there is no best emulator. To have both emulators is the solution to have the best psx emulation experience.

Psx4droid v3.0.7 works. Just tested fpse and it just destroys psx4droid easily.

You are absolutely right.
Deleting the App and all related stuff and a new installation was the solution.

[Q] Chrome vs Opera

im just curious as to which browser you guys run and which ones you guys think run faster on past experiences. i use chrome as my daily driver but have been curious as to what might run faster. I would just download opera and try it but im at school and cannot run .exe files. thanks!

Firefox is the best.
Rapid.
Has Ad-Free.
Better than Chrome/Opera.

Of the two, I prefer Chrome. Opera has some nice features, but seems to get sluggish after a while (in my experience). Chrome is fast, lightweight, and has some nice extensions to customize to your liking. You should also consider the newest version of Firefox. I've been using that for a couple weeks and the speed improvement is nice.

I'd really wanna know which browser will run well on a Pentium 4 PC with 512MB RAM. On Windows XP. So far FF is beating Chrome with a slight edge.

firefox the best!

I stay with Chrome.

Chrome all the way! I hate Firefox. Here's Lifehackers' browser speed test btw: Clicky<--

I don't like Firefox's new update and I tested it out, not for me. I prefer Chrome, it's simple and I just like simple.

For the longest time, I was a diehard Firefox user.
Since they updated to 4, that ish is laggy as hell for me. I couldn't stand it.

Much better, in my opinion!

It was awful!
Loading times for pages used to be really quick. Then, when I updated, it got pretty bad at times. I'd have to restart Firefox sometimes.
I'd never had that problem, and have really fast internet, so I didn't understand what it was.
No problems whatsoever on Chrome though!

I am a diehard fan of Chrome. Not only do I run it on my Acer Netbook, but on my CR-48. I love how no matter what machine I use it all syncs up automagically.

Thank you very much for your divine support and suggestion but am not planning to sell it.
I am asking on how to maximize my tab not to gain profit from it. Softwares and application to use since I am already rooted and using overcome rom.

Play with your tab.
Install games and apps.
Lots of stuff to do with your tab.
You can use it for:
i. Playing games
Try Fruit Ninja, it's the only games I have on my tab right now
ii. Entertainment
Try PowerAmp + MusicMatch, you can ideally have the tab play music with lyris displayed.
I don't use it for playing mkv files coz the screen is small, maybe after I get my TV-OUT adapter. Use youtube couple times with it though
iii. Information
Try Pulse News Reader + Boat Browser (It's what I use for the time being)
iv. Social
Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo Messenger, Tapatalk for forum, etc..
v. Office Work
Gmail, Ymail, I use connectbot + hacker's keyboard for server maintenance
vi. Etc2..
Lot's of interesting app in the market. Check the market. Have u try ZenBrush ??
Regards,
Jhon
PS: Hope it leads to u to the right direction

yeah, sorry. Just joking.
I agree with wuf31.
Played Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds.
Use Pulse News for RSS based news, and also BeyondPod to get my favourite podcast.
I also use BS Player to play my video over SMB share. You will find it working very well, no stuttering whatsoever. My video files sit in my linux file share running samba.
Use PocketCould to RDP or VNC to your desktops.
Overcome kernel even support OpenVPN, if you need VPN.

Thank you for the recommendation. Will check BS Player and BeyondPod.
Btw, quick question, do I need to install anything on the Windows side to use RDP or VNC?

PocketCould is just a normal RDP/VNC client.
As long as you can RDP using desktop to your windows, you should be able to use PocketCould.
Same as VNC.
The free version can only have 1 connection profile.
The free one also can't have zoom in and out by pinch.
bear in mind that PocketClould claims they don't support linux as host OS, so your milage may vary. I bought my Pro version and found that out (that it doesn't support x11vnc properly). Strangely few weeks back it started to work properly now. Vaguely remember there was an update from market. Maybe they fix it.
Give the free one a go. I was using it for months before I bought the pro one.
BTW, it also offer to let you use google account to ease connecting to hosts, but I didn't bother to try out.
I just key in IP, username/password as usual.

You can always update to CM9 & try the ICS experience, but it's still in development so not all features are available. Just a bit of fun for you to try if you're up for it. I had a bit of fun experimenting, but I'm not liking the fact that the theme engine isn't fully developed yet, so I think I'll be restoring back to the BOCA client.

Just to share my experience since I started rooting it a month ago
from GB 2.3.3, I flashed to Overcome, then MIUI..didnt like it (lots of issues), back to Overcome, then AOKP ICS rom, now a moment ago just back Overcome
I'll wait for a better looks and fix on AOKP then I will be back to it again. Overcome is stable and since I want to have some themes and tweak on the looks a bit, I installed Go Launcher EX, go locker etc....surf for some wallpapers to have some nice views
For now better just go for themes etc with the current rom or you may limit the installation of apps u wanna use for a long time....try out several roms to see which one u like...
PS-I wonder what's the future for our galaxy tab....esp in terms of a fully working rom..

Thanks for sharing. Im still using overcome since most of the people i asked said its one of the stable custom roms. For the adventurous a like ics for our tab is already out but am still reading on it and dont have the courage to flash my tab again hehehe

Overcome is the most stable ROM for the Tab. BOCA is pretty stable too. I haven't had any issues with MIUI, but I don't like having pages of apps with no app drawer. I do like my widgets & folders, so I will be flashing again sometime this weekend or next week...just not sure what ROM I'm going to use at this point.
With all the flashing & re-flashing I've done on my phone, I've gained some confidence in the whole process and I'm looking forward to applying onto my tab some of the new things I've learned. Modding is quite addicting...lol...I feel the same way I did when I first learned about overclocking & modding computers. Now I'm searching and reading through dev guides and tutorials to learn about ROM & app dev for androids. Mostly going to be learning for the devices I have now, like my Galaxy tab & MT4G. =)
BTW, out of curiosity, which size tab do you have? 7" or 10.1"
I got the 7" when the Galaxy tab first came on the market & T-Mobile had it for $599. Of course, I got some good deals signing up for a 2-year contract, but still paid a pretty penny for 2 phones & the tab. It would've been nice if I didn't lose my Vibrant (free phone, not eligible for insurance =\ ), then I could've had something else to experiment on...lol
Anyway, I'll post back once I get the chance to experiment on the tab more.

Using galaxy tab 7 first generation the model is p1000 though am now itching to try the newer model p6200 but performance wise i think it not really wise to upgrade yet but if ever you want to try it better to go for samsung note

2) install busybox open busybox and install the latest version of busybox
3) install ScriptManager
4) run the DPF as root and read all the info in the console as the script runs
