I installed the latest 20120608 CM9 from samiam here : http://android.sphsolutions.net/Encore/Nightlies/CM9/
Everything seems to be working except the default internet browser seems to crash/lockup on just about any website I go to. I end up having to reboot the Nook. Anyone else seeing this? Will a different build fix this?
I also tried Chrome and it does not seem to work at all for me. Chrome application starts but no web pages will load. Doesn't crash/lockup Nook. I think I had tried Chrome the day it was released (using a March 2012 samiam CM9 build) and had same issue.
Thanks!!!
I'm running the latest AOKP and see it as well. Saw it on the CM9 builds too. Frustrating.

Where can I get this for my gtab? I don't see it in the market.
It won't be in the Market for a long time.
Side load it from this page:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#ARMv7
Beta05pre is the current version. I like it quite a lot so far.

It was in the market for me this morning. I am running Vegan 5.1. I am actually running the Pre beta 5 from the website though.
Note that the link is to the Nightly builds. Don't be surprised if you get an update notice immediately.
I'd recommend adding a shortcut to your GTab desktop for that link or use DropBox and a computer to download and sync it with your tablet instead of using the updater, as I've been unable to get that working properly.
I found it in the market yesterday. Seems pretty slow, and I haven't found a way to keep it from using mobile sites. Most browsers have a way to change the user agent. Haven't found it.
The version in the market is older and much slower. The version in that link has many speed improvements.
There is an add on that well let you spoof the browser also.
I am posting from it right now in fact.
Im using the nightly build, everything is fast. The sync feature is nice too.
Only bad thing is you can't tell it your using a tablet, so it chooses the mobile site a lot instead of the full sites.
I've had good luck with the beta FireFox provided by the link. Flash does not work though. The flash player (beta) only seems to work with the stock web browser. Everything else (FF,Opera,Dolphin) crash or do not display correctly. It's not really smooth in restarting, it has to force close if it's been open for some reason. I have not found a way of setting the default to open with other browsers installed. A pop-up with all installed keeps coming up to open. Default browser settings are grayed out in the control panel.
Anyone have a working firefox apk for autonooter. I tried to install an apk i found but it didn't install and actually created an issue with my Application pop up screen.
not answering to your question but i tryed FF4 on nookie froyo and it's not very good.. Keep Opera mobile if you can use it, or Miren browser if opera is not 2.1 compatible..
I just want to install it to hopefully fix the bug that is occuring when I scroll on the app screen. It kicks me out everytime to home.
I found Firefox 4 mobile to be very buggy still. The sync doesn't really work, you can't get onto sites with a username and password, and it's slow. They did do an update in the last few days though, so maybe things got a bit better.
I've been messing around with it, firefox 4, for a couple hours today. I've had no issues with the sync option, I actually really like it. being able to sync my laptop's tabs to the nook is a worthwhile feature IMO. however, I really like dolphin HD. Enough so, that I doubt I'll switch.

Why haven't you tried the android market? They have a working one available, and yes opera seems better for the nook color!
Anyone have the latest Dolphin HD APK?
Can't get it from the market and my phone is the venerable G1 so I can't grab it there. I don't trust most of the places that have it. They don't post it on their site anymore.
I would appreciate it is someone could post it.
Here is the latest version. Couldn't find it in the market on the gTab either, so I got it on my Incredible.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7828279/Dolphin Browser HD_4.6.1.apk
Thanks! I haven't been able to get it either.
Awesome, thanks.
Thanks wanted to try this.
I find it odd that so many of us can't see this in their markets. My market seems to be fairly complete and a search for dolphin hd yields all knds of add ons and themes for it yet not the browser itself....strange.
Has anyone noticed a difference with this latest version?
The reason you are not seeing it is because you need to apply the market fix. That is actually how I test to see if my market is working correctly, search for hd browser, and if the addons show up and the browser doesnt I know I need to reapply the market fix.
You should be seeing it in the market BUT it is not for the tablet as I tried to install it - it said "non compatible device" - it looks like the app is strictly applied to some certain device by vendor or Google Market policy
however, I got it from here and trying it now - I heard people saying this dolphin browser goodies!
thx,
rcjpth
Thanks for the dropbox link. Been wondering if an update had been done. Been running 4.5 and loved it but there is always room for improvement ;-)
i dont think its compatible on the gtab.
i have done the market fix and it still doesnt show up.
maybe its a froyo/vegan thing?
Its the build prop. I used the harmony one but it didn't show. Now i am using olympus (for atrix i believe). It shows the dolphin HD (but for some reason, Wolfram is missing).
Dolphin HD 4.6.1 is also in the Sprint Market....and it works fine on my stock Gtab.
For those captivate users who are running ICS, just a heads up that Google Chrome Beta is in the Market.
Chrome Beta Link
Market says it's not compatible wit my phone! Running Doc's v2 (which is awesome). I found a random .apk online for the beta and it just force closes. Anyone else unable to use Chrome on their ICS Captivate?

Running on THS build 15 no prob here
I also have it running on Team ICSSGS 4.1 release. Its fast but a little buggy. Ive had it force close a few times today.
Im running in ICSSGS 4.1.
Seems buggy. Force closes and takes long to load. Stock browser seems fine. Just thought Id share anyway.

Same boat here. Stock browser/UI flys on 4.1 but chrome is still a work in progress.
Running it on weui 6.6
Running it on THS ICS. Very slow to load initially but speeds up once open but takes up a TON of space. Back to stock browser for me until it lightens the load and flies like it does on PC
A bit sluggish and takes up plenty of room, but the features are totally worth it

Works 100% fine for me on THS B15, now my default browser.
Just Installed so far so good
Thanks for the heads up on this app.
Fusion-CM-ICS-beta{IML74K-2/11/12}
I just recently got a nook hd+ and rooted it, I did three full wipes for safe measure using TWRP wiped everything but the sdcard prior to installing cm-10.1.3-RC2-ovation.
I noticed it had a good amount of lag when switching home screens, opening apps, opening the app drawer, recent apps ect.
And apps would run slow and close/freeze on me, for instance I was on chrome entering in a url and everything would freeze for a sec then inputs what I entered, and with only three to four tabs open and it keep closing on me, even the stock browser.
Also when I have any background apps running like say iHeartRadio playing in the background and say Facebook in the foreground after about 20 to 30 seconds sometimes instantly iHeartRadio will close with no errors or FC popups.
I am now running cm-10.1.3-ovation (Stable) since its release, did a clean installation (full wipe) and still having all the same problems,
Is this a known issue? Did I do something wrong? Anyone else experiencing the same?
Any help is very much appreciated
I have same issue....

I have had some problems, but most of them seem to be caused by chrome. Chrome clearly has stability issues as evidenced by the near daily updates. The browser that comes with CM works quite well.

So I removed chrome and wiped both dalvik cache and cache also used SD Maid, but still experiencing the same issues.
This thing runs so slow it doesn't seem right, I mean my hp touchpad runs loops around this and it's also running 10.1 not overclocked and it doesn't crash and hang all the time
I think with me being a noob at rooting I must have done something wrong when I rooted,

I'm experiencing approximately the same situation, the system is relatively slow and my browsers keep crazing (Firefox, chrome and Opera).
But I also have another problem : the keyboard layout sometimes doesn't appear when needed, is anyone having the same issue?

i have the 32gb hd+ and don't recall having those issues but i used CWM since that's what all the devs seem to prefer. Also , i switched to the tweaked xperia rom that was recently updated. i feeel like it's snappier and i like the tweaks he made to it.

I actually have two 16gb models one with CWM other has TWRP, both have the same issues, is the xperia rom a stock android-like or a Sony-like rom? Do you think it is stable enough for everyday use?

I did when I first installed CM, but haven't really noticed it as of recently, plus I use hackers keyboard from the play store, not sure if it was the stock keyboard or it just started working better over time (if that's possible :-\)
