Its pretty sweet if you ask me. Might even become my daily browser. There are various bugs considering its a beta
Amaze 4G ENERGY ICS
I started using it and ditched it cuz it was so buggy and lacked customization. I couldn't even change the settings I wanted to. Switched back to Dolphin HD.
I been u sing it as my default browser on my galaxy note and transformer tablet for about a month now.
Was using opera mobile as default for months and it was awesome. But Chrome has quickly become my favorite android browser now...its very smooth and works really well. Not to mention very fast as well. It works good on a big enough screen but on smaller screen like my nexus s I still prefer opera for some reason.
Anyway. Yeah considering its still classed as beta it is an excellent browser.

Tried it, ditched it. File size too rich for my blood. Maybe in the future

Firefox Browser Alpha woot woot

you have to go to that link directly from your phone in order for it to download people i emailed it to myself or if you click on it from your phone it should work the same
i'm guessing this is a reminder to everyone that Fennec is still in alpha?
I just installed it and "imeatejely" removed it......i will try it again when its final.
Not really a reminder its an apk download, and yeah its pretty bad right now and I uninstalled it almost right away but it looks pretty nice.

This reminds me of back when I used Windows Mobile and the Mozilla team tried to put together a Mozilla mobile browser. Went through several alphas/betas and never ran worth a crap.
Let's hope they do a better job with Android, but from the sound of it, they're off to the typical start.
Runs slow

Alpha or not, that is dog slow. I tend to lean toward another failed Moz mobile. A good alpha is reasonably fast but crippled, buggy, and crash prone.
Tried it yesterday and it's pretty awful. Locked up my phone twice. Had to pull my battery out to fix it. Nice features but not worth a damn in it's current state. However it inspired me to try dolphin again which I'm starting to like.
I'm optimistically hoping beta will be better....

Nearly as bad as the pre alpha release. It literally took it 3 times longer to render englishrussia.com over 3g. Everytime I'd fructose double tap to zoom it'd freeze and wouldn't scroll, checkboarding all over the place. Kept It for less than 10 minutes. Lets pray beta is better.

I don't know a whole lot about this browser. What would be a good reason for applying this hack and switching over? Is this a lot better than some of the other browsers out there? Thanks.
+1 on this.
Not working on my mopho.
Worked for me

I read that it uses amazon servers to load and compress the content, like opera turbo boost. I didn't notice any difference and other than that I don't see anything good enough to stop using dolphin, it actually feels a bit slower for me.
Going to try this out

In my opinion this browser doesn't even work well on the Fire. Had problems just loading pages. Opera has been stellar.

Its ok, it has its issues like being jumpy. So im not a big fan.

What would be a decent stable ROM that still includes most stock features, without MotoBLUR? I could give a crap less about 4G.
Stock just feels sluggish and stuttery compared to my Nexus S.

Are you looking for close to moto stock, minus blur, or close to aosp? If the former, I'd recommend Rocko or Shadow. If the latter, CM7.
On a side note, I always laugh a little at threads titled like this. At my house, I'm the tech savvy one, and my husband is usually lost, lol.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Nice. I wish I wasn't the tech savvy one. Gets old. But as far as AOSP or MB... honestly don't care. MB is going to have all the stock features, but she doesn't even use any Blur features.
I just want to put something on her phone that has a lot less lag, I suppose I could wait for the ICS OTA.

CM7.2 is an absolutely solid ROM. And its even still being updated!
Sent from my CM9 Electrify.
I'm using cm9 on my photon. with the overclock kernal to 1.4. it runs fast for me and it looks awsome.
[KANG][ROM] CM7.2 by Photon Dev team is kickassss!!! Really fast and stable and greattttt battery life! I get 25hrs on an average when i use my phone moderately... ie about and hour of wifi and some calls
I get a quadrant score of 3600+ lol and its super quick! Use it with launcher pro.. thats what I like as i feel it makes the phone super fast..
Alternatively, you could leave it stock and try a 3rd party launcher. I am currently using Go Launcher EX and it's really snappy.
Has anyone seen a video comparison of browsing the internet, and pulling up different url's? I tested in store and didn't seem very fast to pull up different web pages and why does IE struggle with the redbox website? I want to switch back to windows but i browse the net often and want to be sure this phone is going to satisfy me for 2 yrs. Anyone have a link to a video so i can get a better idea of how well browsing is? I've looked on YouTube and haven't ran across anything yet. My time in the ATT store was short due to others waiting to check out the phone

Is that browser available in the marketplace?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Browsing is excellent and the speed is on a par with Android and iOS browsers. Are you sure you had a descent connection in the store?
No, perhaps the connection was not LTE too. I'm gonna go back tonight and look things over more closely.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
We do not have LTE up here in Maine so my comparison is a little different,
However the browsing experience on the Lumia/IE has been by far the fastest mobile browsing experience I have had with any smart phone. I tried countless browsers throughout many different Android phones and different flavors of Android. Many of them were quite smooth and quick, but this experience has been even better. I expected the opposite so it was quite the happy surprise.
I like the speed of IE, but I am extremely annoyed at MS. They absolutely refuse to allow a true 3rd party browser. Having used Dolphin HD browser for Android, that is everything a browser should be, and truly shows that sometimes, a srd party Dev can just do it better.

Yea I've used that browser on my skyrocket, but i really like boat browser. Its flat out fast and it just pulls up pages in a split second. Hopefully the devs will be able to eventually give us more variety. I'm taking the wife today to go check out the phone, but she wants the yellow one.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Well i played with the phone tonight and i do like it. Also checked and UC browser is in the store so thats a plus. Next week the wife is ordering the yellow one so ill have time to thoroughly test it out before i purchase the 920

I agree the browser and overall fluidity of the os is fantastic.

Anybody else have the opportunity to try this new SwiftKey out?
Super cool and pretty..
Just installed and it is more lagged than SwiftKey 3 was.. Surely slower than the JB keyboard..
The thing I liked most about 3 was that it seemed real responsive...
OF course i understand it is still beta..
Okay update:
*I don't work for SwiftKey or anything Btw.
But I made SwiftKey A system app and did a reboot. Now **** is moving smooth..
Love it. Very close call with the Android 4.2 keyboard.. Love them both..
Sent from my Amaze 4G using xda app-developers app
Never had to convert it to a system app, it is smooth and fast enough for me. I'm loving this keyboard! I will for sure be purchasing when it gets an official release. I haven't used swype in a long time but this feels much better.
Sent from my Amaze
It's okay, I don't know swype is still best at what it does. All swift key needs is multiple options to pick from, it only gives you one option.
