Post here about ur favorite browser and ur experience with it.
I use dolphin beta and opera mini.Dolphin is much faster.
i prefer google chrome. its clean, fast on our o2x
Definitely Maxthon for me. I've been using it on a PC for many years, and I like it very much on Android, too. It is fast, has a convenient interface. Dolphin is not bad, but I still prefer Maxthon (however, on Android it substantially lacks in config options and available plugins, compared to a PC version; hopefully, it will improve). I never really tried comparing them, but Maxthon feels snappier to me. I could never get into using Opera -- tried it on different platforms over years (PC, Palm, WinMo, Android), and always ended up abandoning it. Something about it just doesn't feel right for me...
Opera Mobile, fast, smooth, simple UI. It's only one browser that isn't focusing after zooming.
Dolphin on my O2X, as it's the only browser that doesn't suffer from as many FCs as Opera and stock GB.
On my DZ, I just stick with stock.
Once CM10 is out, it'll be chrome for sure I have tried chrome on my friend's Nexus S and was quite impressed.
As for what I use on my PC, it's Chrome when in Windows and Firefox on Ubuntu.
Boat browser is my browser of choice.
Opera Mini Next

On my PC it's been Opera for years... sadly on the phone it seems boat browser performs better.

Maxthon is good, but it seems to get sluggish over time for me. Especially when browsing websites with lots of images. It probably relates to me having the quick back setting activated, but still very annoying. Therefor I prefer Dolphin in most cases. It seems to handle multiple tabs more efficiently.

Just used boat browser. First impression is that it is preety quick and have got some cool features.
Have you tested the new beta firefox? It's fantastic, it isn't laggy and it hasn't bugs. It is very fast!For me is perfect.

Hey guys I just got my note, and I always wanted to use chrome, but now that Im ussing it I found it so laggy, its not as smooth as the default browser or Ics browser plus for example. I mean its damn fast but the scroll is laggy, but Ill stick to it, its managament tabs is amazing
Any ideas?
Maybe the resulution..
Gesendet von meinem GT-N7000 mit Tapatalk 2
Yes it does seem a little less responsive in scrolling (compared to stock ICS browser & Opera at least) but that could be why it's still in beta.
I noticed that it also has problems with text size. some places have increased font size for no reason!!
its also quite glitchy with flash video's.
Chrome for android doesn't support flash so I don't think you will be able to watch any flash videos with it.

I know and I dont care really I use both chrome and stock. If i want a full desktop experience Ill go for the stock, whereas if I need fastness chrome is for me.
Hope the laggy scroll on chrome will be solved in some point
Still apparent on my note and i just updated today. The lag is the only thing that's keeping me away from it
For me its working great.... only find the lag now and then while inputting some text fields but loving it any way

Hi guys. I am currently using temasek's CM7 build 128, which I really enjoy. (awesome speed, awesome battery, looks cool)
However, I was wondering: is there an ICS rom good enough to use it daily? Even with the hardware acceleration -and other- bugs?
Every thread I search the information is messed up, it is impossible to know if the rom is useable or not. Although I really love testing new roms, I don't have all this time avaiable.
Any sugestions?
Hi,
Try owain CM9.

Owains Domination CM9 (he freshly released Build80). Smooth and quickly. Got nearly no RRs now.
Have fun.
What is the better kernel for this rom?

Im using Nova with Horsepower kernel. I have not reflashed it since June 1st and it is still smooth as hell.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium
I tried NovaHD and it is really smooth, indeed.
However, apart from the bugs, I noticed 2 things that pissed me off:
1) the battery is warming up fast and stays hot for a long time. I reach 32~34 degrees within 15 minutes of moderate use. (I don't play games)
2) the multitasking feels quite heavy. I no longer can alternate between 3~4 apps instantly, as I could in CM7.
Is it normal from ICS, or will it be fixed when LG/Nvidia release the correct drivers?
thank you for your answers

@cool.guy,
if you haven't tried it yet, give tonyp's PARANOIDANDROID a try as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762494
I either use it or Owain's Domination for my daily use and very happy with both.
Good luck!
Paranoidandroid is also good, like owain's.
However, as I said, nothing compares to cm7. The interface feels much more responsive and light. Running CM9 I can feel the phone using all of its resources and still can't get a decent multitasking.
One of the two senteces below is necessarily true:
1) ICS is too heavy for 512Mb phones; or
2) The lack of hardware acceleration drivers makes the ICS a heavy system.
Agreed?

Why do you believe that? ICS has proven to be a more hardware demander system than GB.
It happened with my old Milestone 1: great phone, but lacked on ram just like optimus. (Considering the launch time).
Result: I had to stay on CM6 if I wanted a decent multitasking. The milestone simply couldn't handle the GB, due to the 256mb ram. So I stayed on froyo and was happy that way.
It seems to be the same situation between GB and ICS.
Please tell me if I am wrong.
Hugs.

Tested Nova, Domination and Paranoidandroid with different kernels and I like Paranoidandroid the most.
I'll leave it as my standard ROM unless something awful will happen, which I'm sure will not : D

tested Nova HD and Paranoid, both is nice and pretty.
1. Nova HD -- Highly customize, can custome your kernel, ril, and Gapp installation, and specially it had LG Optimus UI 3.0
2. Paranoid -- Hybrid system, can exchange your UI to Phone or Tablet and customize each App on the UI mode and DPI
(PS: i like both but i m using Paranoid now)

I'm using Nova HD w/ Nova Kernel Pure Edition right now. With Ramhack (64mb) and autokilling task manager (at turning of the screen) it's freakin slick and runs smooth like a baby ass.
What are the pros/cons, forcing you to use Paranoid instead of Nova HD?
I'm testing the Owain94 rom (domination) with Harsh kernel 2107. I like it, but I have problem with scrolling in some apps. When I use the Dolphin browser and I turn the screen, the app freeze.

Do you really get the decent multitasking as in cm7? After 1 week of using paranoid, I got used to the not-so-good multitask.
When I flashed CM7 back it was like " WTF my phone is flying! I can open the facebook, browser, whatsapp and music player at the same time!"
Do the test. Try cm7 and compares.

What rom do you use
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium
The last one stable cm7 rom from the official site.
which ROM??which launcher are you using??
for me CM7 temasek 135.3 with symbiosis 1.3.1 kernel with guest toolchain fixed every lag...
when multitasking heavily i used to turn Zram ON (192mb).(also I used GO launcher EX....with every GO app and widget possible so my configuration was pretty high on memory consumption compared to other launchers)
give a try to windows 7 launcher as well..it is smooth as ****(you can also have widgets on that)
but be prepared to sacrifice a bit of functionality
Also install Chainfire3D. Boosts the performance too especially in launchers with transition effects.

Well at least that's what I noticed. You could try it out too. Try some applications without CF3D. After that install CF3D and run the same applications. Like I said, especially in launchers it eliminates the lag in transition effects. May just be a placebo but that always worked for me and significantly boosted the performance.

That's placebo, i think. Even author, Chainfire said, that due to magic strings, CF3D might won't work anymore on newer android versions.
But maybe it is side effect? Who knows...
Anyway, the buttery system from tonyp works well. Also you can use Superchatger starter kit with suoercharger script. Good Luck OP

Hey happy users of the LG Optimus 4X HD, just want to share you this emulator which runs perfectly on our device.
I only tried two games but they are heavy and run pretty smoothly on our device.
I tried : - Dragonball Z Shin Budokai (absolutely fluid)
- PES 2013 (lags sometimes)
There are also a lot of settings so that you can customise your controls.
You can also save and load state easily.
The app is still in beta stage but is being update frequently, the global performance are improved and the list of compatibility gets longer and longer.
Just a little tip : In the settings, Buffered Rendering is ticked by default however if you want get the real and great graphics, untick Buffered Rendering.
Here is the link to the app and its subject : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338818
And here is a second link with a compatibility list : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970933
Hope you'll find the app interesting

Why not root your device? Installing root takes 30seconds and so does removing it again.
You will only benefit from it.
You should try next browser. It's a brilliant app!

Indeed. Many broadcasters won't let you stream their video on a rooted device. In fact, I'd suggest it's most if not all.
