Hi guys,
The official CM7 rom for our galaxy ace has the stock browser and it's super laggy in some webpages.
I searched google for a hardware acceleration ( wich is in the stock roms) and I didn't found it.
Anyone knows how to activate that hw acceleration?
Sorry for my bad english
change browser is the only solution possible for you
use opera mini, it does have HW acc, and compress data too.....
if you wanna full browser experience, then use opera mobile....
booth available at playstore
UCbrowser is the best android browser its the only browser that truely speeds up page loading give it a try it's definitely worth it.

Hey guys, I apologize in advance if there is a thread for this (I searched, honestly, but did not find what I was looking for)
I was wondering if there is a fast loading, flash playing (ex. youtube) version of Opera mobile. I don't want to use Opera 9.7 due to the fact that I'm not interested in using a server based browser (privacy issues), turbo mode renders pictures horribly, turbo mode loads only on mobile website version for some websites, and the browser loss the ability to reformat columns when zoomed in, loss of using zoom in hardware button.
I am currently using NFSFAN's Opera 9.5 build 16643 vga which is fast, but wanted to know if there is a faster version (also this version does not support youtube).
Well, thx guys. Take care.
?
I dont know which is faster, but why do you need youtube in the browser when you have a dedicated youtube app?
skyfire
I'd say give a try to Skyfire....It is fast and support youtube (and any flash)
Cheers!
+1 for the skyfire, till now there is no competition, skyfire in my opinion is the best mobile browser there is. still if u like opera wait a little longer till they release a final version of the 9.7 browser. it should support flash than.
Skyfire works well but the browser image quality is diffuse.
Opera Mobile 9.5 Build 16453 & 16070 both work well

If you want the fastest Opera browser for the Touch Pro? Get OperaMiniV8
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455655
Faster than Skyfire, Opera (any build) and Iris...tried them all...however no flash support.
Skyfire...Skyfire...Skyfire!
I have to agree Skyfire for overall use is the best hands down browser I use on my Touch Pro. It seems to be the most stable and does not dump out in the middle of searching or scrolling through web pages (ala Opera any version). If you can get past the diffuse of the page loads then you will enjoy the overall experience of FULL web browsing on your phone.

Skyfire is the best, but it looks like QVGA.
Even then... Still the best
Built in my personal ROM since the begining
On the most of sites online videos DONT works.
The browser after buffering starts... in some seconds crash... and tab goes to
home screen -(((
Pls help me?
Which browser?
Which rom?
Which sites?
Browser - internal
ROM - P1000NUBJM2
site - tnt-online dot ru
Have you tried different browser?
Have you updated Adobe Flash?
Considered a different rom?
What browser should i use ?
Flash - 10.2
ROM.... i have P1000N - so it`s just one ROM on samfirmware
Try skyfire. Its one of the best in flash based sites. Also Dolphin HD comes highly recommended.
If it's like on the P1000, just avoid any and all WebKit browsers until a fixed firware is released. This means "use Firefox, or Opera"
not so sure about Skyfire, as it advertises as WebKit, too.

Nothing wrong with the Webkit browsers if you are using a JMx build, though Opera is now my browser off preference.
Firefox doesn't support Flash at all, so rather defeats the OPs purpose.

Indeed, but considering he's got a different hardware, i just gave my suggestion. On jk5 WebKit was... Not broken, completely trashed
On jmi it works fine.
Firefox dosen't support flash? Didn't notice it, it's really a feature i can't care less. But hey, everybody has different needs.

I started to get embedded videos after a wile. They were not there when I bought my tab. Seems like it was doing it with every browser.
I just uninstalled flash and they started to load in the external player window again so I assume earlier versions of flash didn't embed the video. Sometimes I do have to download the video.. Oh wel..
I don't dislike flash but playing a choppy embedded video is no fun either. Not that it was always choppy.
My problem is solved after installing HymberOS From. Now its ISC. Everything works great on any browser.

Hey guys, I was wondering what browser you are using and why you use the one you use. Share your experiences.
Personally I've tried some different browsers and I think Opera Mobile is one of the best, because it scrolls real nice when reading a lot of text like on a forum. It kinda sticks to the text when scrolling up or down. Thereby when you click at a link that's really close to another link, so close you easily make a mistake when clicking, it zooms in real far and marks both links and let you choose one of them.
These options I found really helpfull.
Browsers I've tried so far:
- Mirren Browser
- Dolphin Browser
- Stock Browser
- Opera Mobile
-Boat Browser
->fast and smooth
->html5 support
->desktop view
->flash support by clicking once a symbol on web page, so there you save time, if you don't want to view flash ads
->pinch zoom (not standard on some! See opera)
->tabbed browsing
->text reflow (also not standard on some browsers!)
-Skyfire
-Its quick
-Smooth
-Tabbed browsing
-Pinch to zoom
-Quick links
Ive tried several browsers to include all of the ones you listed, and of them all this one has been my favorite. Although I have not tried the one listed above (Boat) I don't feel the need to try any others as this one for me is perfect.
Stock Browser
Simple !
I would aslo say it has better quality than some other browsers such as, Firfox !

Stock, all the others are crap.

Stock browser is the fastest, you can find tests on google, and none of the other browsers are as fast..
I personally like the new opera mobile 11 browser. In integrates flash nicely and scrolls very smooth through the webpages. I especially like the fast scroll option.
Hm, if there is an option to change the user agent, I can fell in love with the stock browser.
But it can't and some webpages are in mobile Optic. I can't live with mobile optic.
Opera is really good but some webpages looks strange with it. Forums are such sites. I don't know, why the opera websites looks other than normal ones.

opera has pinch zoom..
tried boat and skyfire, but i still like opera mobile more. it may not be the fastest one around but it has a great user experience imo
Stock browser? Can only show mobile view and forget about:debug settings!
For me, that is no real internet browsing.
Only used stock. However I liked the one on HTC Desire HD better then the one on this phone (LG optimistic 2X) . Wish it comes in a custom ROM soon.

Using Boat browser atm, but Opera 11 has been my choice since it came... Never testet flash in Opera, but it may be integrated now(other post here)?
Testet skyfire, xscoope, miren, firefox++ Miren was my favorite on my G2, but 2X somehow lags when trying to switch tabs, so I switched
Stock with AdFree

dolphin hd,is speed
Miren. Really a fantastic browser.
Opera Mobile, mostly because of the great Computer <--> Mobile Phone synchronization.
Operamobile:
best text reflow ever seen
Opera link
doesnt have problem with login pages at wifihotspots like stock one do
seems to run smoother than stock on O2X
unfortunatelly sometimes Im experiencing issues when i want to download something
I tried Mirren and Firefox4.
I'd love to use Firefox 4 but it causes my LG Launcher to crash and makes the phone nearly freeze.
Mirren seems really good, but i don't like the colors.
Using the stock browser most of the time.
I've always used stock on phones - I have a tablet for heavy web stuff and a phone is really just there to quickly visit a specific site or serve a request, not spend any amount of time on it.
FireFox is certainly nice but I just don't need all the things it offers.
The only time I used a non stock browser was on my very old k800i where Opera's proxy make viewing heavy pages much faster.
Nowadays with fast connections and better CPU there's no need for it though.

I have to say boat browser mini really is the best browser I've tried so far... and I've tried a few: Opera, Dolphin HD, Miren, xScoope, Firefox ++
Boat has html5, flash, pinch to zoom, tabs ++
Since flashing to a Miui.us 1.7.29 rom none of my browsers are able to support video playback. I tried on both dolphin browser and the miui default browser neither work. Videos from the browser that uses a external player to play, youtube app and videos from sd card still works. I tried to solve it but nothing helps. Changed rom to miui. us later version 1.7.22 with data wipe and all the other wipes plus factory reset.Permission fix. Installed and uninstalled flash player 10.3. And have been searching through google but still no solution.
So please help!!!!
Forgot to mention there is still sound but just a black screen comes out during playback.
I have the same problem. I found that the opera browser works

sounds more of a miui specific problem ... so questioning this in their thread will probably get u an answer faster...

Well surprisingly that seems to work ! Thanks!
But still I would really want to know what is the main cause of all this? The rom maybe?
Till then opera browser would be my default browser.

Can this be ported to Gingerbread in general or to CM7 maybe?
I always thought of the android stock browser being chrome, but regardless no i doubt it just wait till its released for other version by google i seriously doubt your missing much.... firefox turned out to be utter crap.
I would love that
I would love that because it was really glitchy in NOVA CM9, but now I'm using modded gingerbread and using dolphin
there is no way to port chrome to android versions below 4.0. Sorry. It just requires full hardware acceleration, which we dont have either way..
i tried all (and i mean ALL) the browsers i could find, opera was darn good, but eats a LOT of ram (i was playing music and browsing with opera and suddenly the music player got killed...wtf. and opera process was using 170 mb of ram).
so, the best browser is ....maxthon browser, its smoother than dolphin for me, almost same smoothness as opera, has some cool features and gestures. try it out
