[Q] A browser with flash support - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
How on earth do we get a fully funtioning web browser with flash support?
Is i.e. the only one when run with flash lite from Adobe? I am unable to find anything out about any of this at all - Adobe really hopeless site - unable to download ie from anywhere! (I think I binned it previously) Only have Opera.
Please help me
Thanks.

Isn't IE in your rom? Check out \Windows\iexplore.exe

No - I binned it. Installed skyfire, opera etc but still no flash.

thats this phones only downfall imho, no flash. its real sad that opera decided to sack the new flash supported opera off that was demo'd on hd2 ages ago in favour of windows phone 7, android and so on. the only way might be to install android onto your phone, even then, im not too sure if it works........

As far a I know, flash lite is not supported for the integrated opera mobile 9 on the hd2. However, you can always download opera mobile 10 from here which supports flash. Not sure if the latest version do support it, but Opera Mobile 10 beta 3 does support it after all.

Do you have working flash?

I can confirm that it does not work on my Opera 10 Mobile (final). Download Opera 10 Mobile beta 3 if you want flash support on opera.

You and anybody else who wants to run android on their HD2

All the Android lovers out there, find me one single off-line navigation app that gets any near to igo8 + dimka skin, and i am switching to Andoird as my primary OS on HD2.

you could try the uZardWebP browser. You can get from www.uzard.com.

Hermes equivalent Firefox

I did a search and found no thread on this.
I am looking for a Hermes portable Firefox browser. I miss the tab function when browsing with the standard IE. Any ideas.
Hi there!
As far as I know, there is no mobile Firefox browser. However, for tabbed browsing you could try SPB Pocket Plus with IE. There is also a mobile version of Opera, which I enjoy very much: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401643

That project is old and discontinued. Check out Mozilla's latest efforts here:
http://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile
regarding MiniMo - agreed... you'll hate it... I also tried BlueFish from Micro$oft - even suckier. Looking forward to trying skyfire... Unfortunately, for the moment, Opera is your best option...
I hated it.
I didn't see you post, so I went ahead and installed it.
Its slooooow, hangs, bad graphics (splashed all over).
I will remove it today.

This seems like a work in progress, maybe by August there will be something usable.
Thanks
I have both Opera Mini and Mobile versions currently installed on my Hermes. I personally find Mini to be significantly quicker (loading/page rendering, etc).
Sorry...
Yeah, I installed it again... Yeah it sucks. Well, there is always something else on the horizon for us to try.
This minimo guy refuses to be removed any heads up on that.

Yet it works if you click OK ignore all of those errors. It is just incredibly annoying to do when typing Twitter or Brightkite updates. Alternatively, install ANY of the pre-official beta releases of Opera and you will be worlds ahead of any other browser on windows mobile, including Opera Mini.
I'm sure you can find threads on this forum.
I've been meaning to go digging on all the sites to find the latest and greatest opera version without the memory errors. I've been running both on my phone. The actual beta version allows you to throw the page in the direction you want to scroll a bit easier then the pre-release that I am running. I wish you could just turn off that error. The browser works seemlessly other than having to click OK, as far as I can tell. Someone needs to go in and change the je to a jg or something in the binary to disable that dialog.

Opera Mini 5 Beta 2 - SUPER FAST

This is an OLD Thread and for this reason decide to edit the topic and everything to be up to date.
New OPERA MINI 5 beta 2 is out, like a single cab and is native for WM devices.
All i can say for this...
ITS SUPERB FAST AND SMOOTH BROWSER i just love it.
For more info just visit www.opera.com
Check JZ SmartMort. Search for it at this forum.
Is there a signed version?
Yeah is there a signed version? Also, does it have a full download manager built in? And how is it better than Opera 10 beta?
http://www.opera.com/mini/next/
it says
Download manager
Manage downloads right from the browser. Pause and resume downloads to suit your needs.

so I guess there is a download manager
Just ran some tests on it. Its as fast as opera mobile 4.2 so I can gladly ditch that browswer. Opera 10 beta 2 is no were near as fast as mini 5 b2. Not really happy with the direction that one is going.
I have done some searching but there is nothing right now as far as shortcuts or default browser cabs. Must be to soon, so if anyone find anything post it here or a link to the thread.
Signed Opera 5 Beta 2 you can find here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592551

Just create a cab... If someone want to test try it.
Is there a way to get this get a shortcut, and set it as default browser?

owilsky already answered that up above.
At the moment JZ SmartMort needs to be updated for Mini 5 Beta 2, but the author said he'll probably have that ready tonight.
So what are the differences between 10 for mobile and 5 mini?
Opera 5 is very similar but lighter on ram, also it uses the proxy server only... Opera Mobile can render the pages locally on the device.

I have installed opera mini 4 and i want to use it after installing opera mini 5 via cab? is this possible? with other cab installers of opera mini 5 opera mini 4 is not listed in java any longer!
thx for help
Just tried, much improved from beta 1 especially on the scrolling.
However kinda sluggish on TP2 using JBED. OM4.2 is *much* faster, so I'll stick to OM4.2 for now till OM5 can catch up with the speed.
I wouldn't recommend using your own SIP rather than the default one in Mini.... it becomes unstable if you use a regular SIP. You will still get freezes and sometimes you cannot exit the text entry window. If you use the crappy one provided by Opera then it works fine.

What's the best browser for this device (mini pro?)

My brother just got this phone, and he's loving it! We've got CM6 up and running. Is the default browser the best one? Or is there another browser he should look at? I ask specific to this device, and not to android in general, due to the relatively small screen size.

I personally like Opera Mobile a lot, it works very well on my Mini and it has support for HTML5 videos, you should also get Skyfire for general flash video support.
I've found opera not to support multi-touch on my mini pro, dolphin mini or dolphin hd do though. +1 for skyfire

Skyfire 4 FTW, Dolphin Mini is not that bad either.
Skyfire is not compatible with X10 Mini Pro?
Skyfire is fully compatible, just using it. When you can't play videos on Skyfire4, uninstall it, download Skyfire 3, run Skyfire 3, uninstall Skyfire 3 and than install Skyfire 4 and you will get licence for watching videos

But don`t appears in market to download....
You will need to use the hacked market from the development forum as the market will not show skyfire due to our screen resolution, despite this skyfire runs beautifully.
You can download .apk file and install it manualy, just search for it.
i suggest you use skyfire too, works like a charm on the phone
Opera Mini 6 on my Xperia mini pro works great and supports dualtouch...
If you are on slow GPRS or EDGE connections than Opera Mini is the fastest among all the browsers that I have tried.
Miren browser comes close to opera mini in terms of performance on slow connections and has an option of clearing the cache and exiting so that the RAM memory can be reclaimed by the operating system.
So what exactly has to be done, to find Skyfire in the market?
I already tried "Market Enabler", but that one didn't do the job, and although I searched for it, I could not find the .apk to install it manually. I looked through the dev forum, but could not find a "hacked" market.
I am running MiniCM7-2.1.8 btw.

Works for me too!
I am using Dolphin Mini Browser now, as it seems to be the best option for such "low end" mobile.
From what I read Opera is closed source and the traffic is "optimized" using their proxy servers, which means they can track & analyze all your steps in the web, which is nothing I would trust (as if one isn't already sharing enough data in the net). But to be honest, I don't really know the situation concerning the Dolphin company as well, so both may be in the same ship?
I haven't used the browser on the mobile much by now, so I can not really tell if it is the best option, but it will have to do for now.
Can anybody recommend a good open source browser for Android? On my PC I only use Firefox and Midori, but unfortunately those are not an option on the phone.
you should try uc browser works perft on my psp go
and on my iphone 3gs so it should work fine on xperia
by the way , whats that market called blackmarket ??
Ok opera it is fast and nice looking. But many pages not showing good. Thay are smashed. I lot travell in my country with buses. And when i need to open the page with timetravel table it is all smashed, evan id i unchack text warp. Also page of my university had view proble, with opera.
Because of that i use mini boat. Simple lookung but works nice.

[Q] The new Opera Mini Next browser on Android

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.mini.next.android
This new beta seems to have
1. Much lower memory footprint
2. Is much faster
3. Beautiful transitions!
3. Seems to work like a GPU accelerated app on Gingerbread!
which brings me to the question, is there any way a particular app can use GPU ui in Gingerbread. Not an NDK app, just a normal Dalvik-VM app.
Tested on GT-P1000
I was a fan of Dofin HD, then switched to Opera, a favorite, then switched back to the Fin HD since it seems to be lighter and faster.
I might give Opera another try and see how good it is.
But I definitely using stock WebBrowser when ICS released
Thanks OP

You can get Opera Mobile which has the same UI as Opera Mini only the download is larger since it can download and render pages locally, and also includes flash compatibility. Opera Mobile also allows you to toggle turbo mode, I have mine set to be on turbo when on 3G and use the local presto engine when on wifi.
