I'm looking for a browser where I can swipe in from the left/right to go back/forward. That's the only gestures that I want. Like in webos with the gestures patch. Is there one in android like this? I tried the browsers with gestures like dolphin but I don't want to press a button to go to a gestures screen then make my gesture. I want to just swipe left/right.
default browser gestures work ok but i lose the url/tabs bar if i enable the gesture control. I'd use this if I could keep the bar and have the gestures but I havent found a way to have both :S
I'll try any suggestions to test them out if they work for you

You could try the Maxthon Browser. The tablet version works fine on the HP. Get it here:
http://www.maxthon.com/maxthon-mobile-tablets/
thx for the maxthon suggestion, it has the back/forward how i want it but i'll stick with xscope for time being, i've grown fond of it
plus maxthon seems to render pages a bit slower, plus i was having problems with it recognizing my swipes when i zoomed into the page. it would move the page more often than going back/forward. xscope seems to do this part a bit better, plus i've grown accustomed to the direction of the gestures now

Download Nova launcher and then you can put an icon on your homescreen that let's you get into the multitasking menu with one press.
It will work with TW too.

ive read the description of nova launcher but couldnt find anythinga bout multi tasking. can you explain a bit more?
Not only nova you can have it in apex too, in fact you can simply bring the recent apps menu by making a swipe gesture on home screen
《tapatalked from galaxy s3》
I'm not sure if it works on the gs3, but I use an amazing app on my transformer prime called gesture control.
It basically allows you to define actions by using gestures.
You can define two,three,and four finger gestures.
It really is great. Needs root though.
So you can define a gesture for bringing up the multitasking menu and it works throughout the whole system anywhere.
You don't have to be on the launcher homescreen .

tried apex launcher but couldnt get it to work when im inside an app. ill try gesture control. anyone else have any suggestion for me
anyone can give me suggestion on a great gesture app that can open the recent app from anywhere?
Wave launcher is also cool multitasker. Quite different though.
Also looking for this, something like zephyr for IOS that works inside apps. It allows to close an app just sweeping from bottom to top.

i tried the app and it worked great. Can I ask what the risk of enabling usb debugging is? Im kinda paranoid of what it does, also can you suggest to me what good gesture is best to bring up the recent app list?
What does usb debugging do?
I don't understand why you don't just want to hold home? Plus when on this screen if you swype to left or right the preview is binned.
As for killing apps, Android runs on linux, linux manages ram very well and indeed runs better when you don't keep closing things all the time, it caches processes to save you time and battery when you next need them!
I use a app called "multitask shortcut" which is awesome and it only cost .50 dollars. It doesnt work inside apps though. I wish there was something like Zephyr for Android. It was awesome on the iPhone.
So I Know you can draw an up arrow to access the menu key functionality as well as drawing a back arrowto go back. Is there a way to access the home Screen with a gesture?

you can check out GMD spen control if you have root. It lets you set custom gestures.

Thanks, I can't believe they didit include this. not sure I want to go through the rooting process just yet. I'm sort of a recovering flashaholic
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
If you use another launcher other than TouchWiz you can. I just tested with sslauncher. I opened the gesture control and created a new gesture "H" and chose sslauncher from tae application list. It will not work with TW as it does not show up as an app. It is a bit of a work-around as you must first open with an upward motion and then write "H". Its far far quicker to press the Home button.
If you do decide, or already use a third party launcher i would recommend you use "SwipePad" instead to quickly jump to the home screen using the S-Pen

For me Opera Mobile and it has been for a few years now. Chrome (and Chrome Beta) are catching up but I still have yet to see a smoother pinch to zoom/scrolling experience on the Note 2 or my older Desire HD.
Another reason or example: If I test my own site in Opera and hover over the menus with the S pen, they work properly and expand. In a few other browsers, they fail to do so.
A few browsers to try in my sig too.
I like Dolphin beta.

I agree 100%, super smooth and word wrap works better than any other browser.
Dolphin for me, works well with my last pass and xmarks plugins. I do sometimes use firefox when I need a desktop experience.
Have used Chrome since its release. I might install Chrome Beta.
I prefer the stock browser and set it to full screen with quick controls. Really use this monster screen!

I use Chrome. It is faster than stock and I like the sync options. I do not use Chrome on my computer, but I sync between my phone and tablet. I have tried other browsers and for whatever reason none have stuck.
stock browser all the way. If you enable the Quick Menu in the settings advanced settings it turns this browser into a 1 handed speed demon. Also it does the automatic margins thingy for making the texts you know the width of the screen, it does that really well no matter how far you zoom in or out. It all you have to do is double tap on the screen after you zoom to your selected level double tap on the screen and it automatically reformat text to the screen with. My apologies for how this must read, I am making this post using voice to text while driving home from work. Truck!

I am currently using the lmt pie control and like it but will give swapps and glovebox a try.
Edit: OK so I did a bit of looking and gotta say I never liked the way the unity toolbar looked in Ubuntu and sidebar n glovebox are just that. I personally really like lmt. The only issue I have with it is you can't set a shortcut for all apps.

I like pie because of all the options plus you can keep your screen free and clear and also can pull it up at anytime, no matter what apps you have going. The only thing I don't like about it is I can't find a way to link my apps menu to it other than that its awesome. You can have up to 10 slots and have a secondary function for each slot. Also you can change the colors to match whatever theme you are using.

Using glovebox and I love it! I actually completely removed my dock from my home screen because its so awesome. The purpose of the dock is for quick access to commonly used apps but you still need to go back to the home screen to get there. With glovebox you can get there with one less step and only one gesture instead of two actions in the case of side bar (open the bar then select). The best part is it works while in any app.
I've tried sidebar and swapps. I didn't like the look of swapps.
I have not tried LMT but with PIE coming to CM I think I'm going to skip it,
Does such a browser exist?
Looking for true text reflow, not that double tap zoom... But where you zoom in manually and it keeps reflowing text to show up on the screen.
-Looking for flash support in the browser with 4.4.x
-Looking for pie controls like the AOSP browser has in the labs section.
Any advice?
Not sure, but have you checked out Firefox? It supports add-ons and it has text reflow.

We'll I use pie from gravitybox settings from expose framework module but I don't think dolphin it self has does capabilities.

Give Boat Browser for Tablet a try. It has text re-flow (text sizing in the gear icon) and full screen with minimal controls. No Flash, though, you'll need something else for Flash player.
Habit Browser has all that....and way more customization in the history of customization...and faaaast!
