Just wondering if it's possible to make the stock browser GPU accelerated now that we have s-off? I'm using Opera, which is generally pretty smooth, but not as smooth as what I've seen the SGSII do in browsing (which I know it's because they have the stock browser with GPU acceleration).
I'm going to try and start getting into development, and am actually gonna take some classes from a local college starting next week (C, C++ and Java). Has anyone ever thought about porting over the SGSII browser (I'm not sure how that would work with touchwiz and all)? Or is there a simple setting we could change in the HTC Browser (obviously it's not visible in the settings tab). I clearly don't know very much, but this is something I would love to work on if possible.
Try this and see if it helps at all.
Open up the stock browser and type
about:debug and then press the arrow key/enter key on your keyboard. Then press menu and select settings. Then scroll down and uncheck mobile view, then unceck location, then uncheck open pages in overview. Then scroll down to "set connection timeout" and raise to 20. Then scroll down and check quick rotate. Try that out and hopefully it helps a little.

I'm really missing the scroll wheel from the mogul/6800. Is there a way to make the ring scroll in programs that don't have it mapped (like zooming in Opera)? I'd really like to use it to scroll through e-mail. I swear that I got it to scroll once in mail for a split second while the app was still loading, but promptly stopped scrolling once it finished loading.

I know I've seen somewhere (I think over @ ppcgeeks) that there was a way to set up custom apps to use the scroll ring in other applications. I'll look again and see if I can't find it.
you can enable scrolling with the sensor using advance config. At the bottom of the list there will be an option with 5 or 6 sub options
I believe DiamondTweaks also has an option for this

I just installed the file "Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3.cab" and I don't see any options for that in it...
Checking the other program mentioned shortly.

Yes it does. Nice app too.
Not as consistent as it should be but I am sure the developer will improve it steadily.
When I say this, I mean that u can scroll around but onceyou make a selection, you can't scroll within that selection.
In advanced config you have to add the programs that you want to scroll with manually. Open advanced config, go to menu, more settings, smarttouch, and add what ever program you like.
there are 2 programs. 1 is called gscroll and the other is called sensorscroll. gscroll is not free, but here is the link for sensor scroll: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466377
It does shut down on random, but allows you to scroll in manilla (fav contacts, programs, text message etc)
I changed UAString to Desktop in debug mode but websites still load as mobile. Any idea how to do it properly?
Wish I knew, but I so far haven't heard anything about it in terms of a solution. Its one of the only things holding me back from flashing TouchWiz, because I know it would aggravate me way to much
I've tried using the stock browser apks from the xoom, transformer, galaxy tab 10.1 on the touchwiz rom and still nothing. I think I'm doing something wrong though.
Also, how about a fullscreen mode in the stock TouchWiz browser? I have found no way to do this like in all other browsers. The top bar is always showing I think.
And Jesus, no re-flow of text on pages to resize to fit when zoomed in right? F'in riduclous.
My problem is the opposite, I cannot get out of full screen mode. WTF!!!!!
Nevermind, I have some type of popup that occurs when I touch the right side of the bezel.
you can change the UA string the exact same way that you would in any other android phone.. just type "about:debug" into the address bar, then go into settings and select "debug" tab. It's the second setting.
@gdog1977, you have quick controls enabled in the "labs" tab of the settings. touch and hold either side of the screen until a menu pops up, move your finger to the very bottom icon(four horizontal lines), select "settings" in the popup, and then select the "labs" tab on the left. then de-select the "quick controls" option.

Yes most of us are quite well aware of the about:debug mode, but again the problem is not switching it to the desktop UA, it is getting that setting to actually stick after reboots, etc. Anybody have any other ideas??

hmm.. I've never had this problem. no idea why not.
I really like the web browser that comes with android, it fits websites nicely to the page unlike say Opera. But what is with the touch? it's always lagging behind, not like it's slow, but like they enabled some sort of smooth into action setting or something. If you move the page up and down, you'll see it's like it's chasing your finger. Is their a way to make the touch fast and on point with your finger like with Opera?
Can't answer your question as I've been using Dolphin Browser HD. I'd urge ya to try it if you haven't.
Yeah I tried dolphin, it's cool, like it. I kinda like the simplicity of the android browser though, just wish their was a way to fix the touch. If I stick with Dolphin i'll have to figure out how to get it to replace my web button on the bottom bar, I thought with the new gingerbread you was able to replace those buttons.

Go to your Applications drawer, hit the context button (i don't know the real term, the one in bottom left, brings up the sub-menu). It'll give you a warning about changing the 'view type' to customizable grid. Click the 'switch' button. You should be able to drag whatever application you want down into the bottom-four to replace the initial apps. I replaced the default messaging with Chomp.
When you're done, hit that same Context button and hit 'save'.
You'll also probably want to go back into that context menu, hit the 'view type' button and switch it back to Alphabetical grid. It leaves your bottom 4 alone, just re-organizes the main ones.
That 'edit' menu is also a really easy way to uninstall apps.
Don't know if this has been mentioned before...
But if you're like me, and hate that the standard browser only allows you to open a max of 4 windows / tabs... you can actually change it to 6.
It's not heaps more, but it's certainly better than 4...
I have tried it on the Desire S, and it doesn't work, but this works on the Evo 3D.
Steps;
- Open the browser
- In the web address field type about:debug
- Hit the menu button and then settings.
- Then scroll down to "Set max tab number" and change that to 6.
There is also an option called "Smooth Rotate", and when you enable that, and you switch from portrait to landscape view whilst browsing, the screen will roll around, rather than just changing...
It's hard to explain, so you're better of just seeing for yourself.
Cheers
cool thanks, but I couldnt find the set max tabs? is it under another category?
I use dolphin browser, it's fantastic

Does the phone have to be rooted for this to work? When I type that in on the stock browser, and hit enter, I get nothing. I'm on the Sprint version, not the GSM version.

Worked for me. Non rooted stock EVO 3D. The only thing I couldn't adjust was the Max Tabs

Just installed this browser to get rid of the annoying "browser not responding" and thus far, having pretty good luck and really liking the browser, much more than the stock.
My only gripe is, why can I not see the address bar when scrolled down far on the screen? For example, while in any other browser, if I am far down the page, as long as I "pull down" the address bar appears, but while in ICS quick browser, I have to scroll all the way back up to the top.
Is this a setting I can fix, or is that just the way it is? I hope is can be changed because I am really liking this browser.
Thanks!
if you tap once on the visible tab title area the address bar appears.
hope the above makes sense.

I tried that, I figured that would do the trick, but no. I have to go all the way back up. I wonder why this is. For example, I tried it on facebook as well as google news...somewhere I was able to be far down.
No other ideas? tapping in the tab area does nothing.
I been telling people about this browser for awhile now. It's badass! To get to a tab without scrolling all the way back up just tap the 4th button from the left next to the recent tabs key. It's what I always did. Hope that helps you.:good:

4th button ? Sorry but when i lok at the top all i see is the current tab/tabs. What do you mean?
for me clicking on the tab works... for example clicking on the tab title for this page
[Q] ICS Quick Browser - x...
works to toggle the address bar on and off.
