If I wanted to make an online transaction with my Android device and I was using a browser other than stock (e.g. Overskreen), then would my card details (used to complete the transaction) be at a safety risk due to the fact that I have made the transaction in a browser which is owned by a developer and so would he have access to these details and the like?
Thank you

i dont tink so. its like saying using mozilla or chrome is more insecure than using internet explorer. but the best is using the app from the bank itself.
yes but Firefox and the like are big companies whereas things like dolphin and overskreen are quite small so I don't want to risk anything and so want to be sure.

Dolphin Browser has been proven to record data and send them to the developers and what not. That's why i stopped using it. I would go with Chrome or Firefox.

I spent some time looking through forums, if I missed the answer to my question you can throw me in the fire.
Running nightlie #95 and dal oc [email protected] 1200 mhz. 7.03 stable all the way up to this nightlie I haven't been able to run the XDA on the nook. It loads up and I can make a few selections than it fc's.
Is this because I changed my build.prop for netflix? Any ideas?

NOT TRUE!
The XDA app (free version) looks for an IMEI number which the Nook does not have. DizzyDen has put together an app to patch your framework.jar file to give your Nook a fake IMEI based off your Serial number so apps like the XDA app, Swype, HBO GO, and the Xfinity app which look for IMEI numbers will work.
Is using Tapatalk just the easier idea?
Guys i hate to break it to all of you but the XDA APP has work on cm7 since day 1. No mods no tapatalk pro no nothing. install it from the market and run what ya brung. i have never had a problem with it once.
EDIT: This is without any hacking of the IMEI at all.
I will have to try out the imei file. Sick of seeing "process com.quoord.tapatalkxda.activity"
Thanks for the ideas

This is true on phones (which have an IMEI) not on the Nook...

In my experience the XDA never worked right. On both NookieFroyo and on CM7 I could use it to browse but once I tried to login it would force close. Works great on my Eris though!
I wonder what is the advantage of the app is anyway? I just use Opera and go to the website. I'm doing it right now.
again i beg to differ I have never once had an issue with the XDA app from the day i got my nook. Never hacked anything. It has always worked perfectly every single time. Not to say other people my not have issues, but both my Nook and My Wife's nook has never had an issue.
edit: Question or clarification perhaps. Are you guys getting errors just trying to load the app or when making a reply?
The error it's typically upon logging in.

When you say it worked from day one, which version of the app and CM7 are you referring to? And what are you on now?
I have a recent SD install CM7/n87 and a fresh download of the XDA free app, and it FCs everytime when you try to do anything relating to log in. Can you confirm what you're running, may have done special to get it to work?

fuul, what you describe is exactly the problem I am having
I owe this thread an apology. I had never actually tried to login on the XDA app. I just browsed forums.
Note However: Now that i have logged into the app. I can still browse fine, the only time i'm getting a FC is when i try to reply to a thread.
Again i apologize for not testing further before spouting off at the mouth. Yes there is in fact a problem, i just don't experience "as bad" of a problem as some of the rest of you.
I gotta say that its kind of rediculous this app has problems running on the nook correctly since xda seems to be the center of Nook Color hacking universe.
Then again the app is pointless when I can just use my browser. In fact I'm now getting rid of any and all apps that can be replaced with my browser. What's the point?
just get the xda premium app, that does not require an imei number or do the framework hack.

Anytime I can use an app made for a particular forum I use that over the browser anyday. Having multiple bookmarks saved for each forum thread and for each forum starts to clutter up the rest of my non forum bookmarks. An app like XDA lets you save favorites within the app itself, therefor freeing up adding 20 some odd extra bookmarks of threads I like to keep up on.
The site provides that same functionality. You can subscribe to threads eliminating the need to fill your browser with extra bookmarks.
When I open my browser and click on my xda bookmark I'm automatically signed in and ready to pickup on all the threads I have participated in or have interest in. I just don't see the need for a xda app. There has to be a reason for the app. There must be something it does for the user the website will not. WHY!?!?!?!? LOL

Lower bandwidth for one? Noticed that with the stock browser and dolphin HD, there are times when browsing the XDA site directly it has issues rendering certain pages. Could be luck of the draw and a misbehaving ad banner for all I know, or a bad internet connection from my side, no idea. But overall the XDA app feels like it's lower bandwidth.
Since I haven't been able to get the logged in version of the free XDA app to work, I couldn't tell you beyond just this if it's worthwhile.

sometimes i come to know of some new crazy apps in playstore only bcoz of this app a must have
So, if anyone have tried Chrome Beta for ICS rom, do you guys have the display problem with it? I often got the display to stutter/mixed up and make the page really bad. Sometimes, when I want to type the URL, my keyboard just seems to be a block of image and I have to guess where the letter is located (the keyboard still function but the image just went crazy).
Is this problem on Amaze only? I have been using the Chrome Beta on my HP Touchpad and I have never gotten this problem at all.... So, I am just wondering if this is just my Amaze, or is it a common problem? If someone can tell me how to fix it, that'd be great
I love Chrome Beta since it sync all the bookmarks and the page that I open on my tablet/desktop/laptop all at once.... But, the crazy stutter/mixed images just drive me crazy; especially when I can't see where the letters are when I need to type...
I thought that was only my phone, or the Rom I was running. I also have that problem, distortion, stuttering, and it just goes bonkers on me

I love the aosp browser.
But here are the two things I love about chrome beta:
1. Sync all bookmarks on my pc/laptop browser
2. Sync all webpage that I currently open on my pc/laptop/tablet etc. So I can switch between any device and still access the website that I open easily.
Are there any add on or apps that can do those things?

Firefox has flash support and desktop user agent. I use it when I need flash and works well, though I use chrome (when I don't need flash) most of the time.

Try out Dolphin Browser. If you use the jet pack as well it's really fast but slightly unstable (getting better though) it's still nice without jet pack.
She could sideload the flash APK without being rooted and use the stock browser. Just make sure unknown sources is checked in dev settings.
