I can't find it in Settings>Account>Google anymore. I rely on that because I use Quick ICS browser. Not a fan of Chrome. Btw, Chrome automatically syncs the bookmarks. There is Settings>Account>Google>Chrome.
Yeah, looks like they've dumped the feature . Damned annoying if you're using stock browser which I like a lot better than Chrome - not just for ability to continue using Flash but I've gotten used to that cool little thumb navigation thing. Grrrr gonna have to set up local bookmarks now :crying:.
Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h.chromemarks&hl=en
Works great so far.

I'll just use chrome marks or whatever it's called now. Yes I also like the quick controls half circle of the ICS browser which is the other reason I use it in addition to Flash

Yeah! Nice tip - thanks mate. App works great in JB stock browser. Didn't think it did at first as I was looking for an additional "Account" folder as in ICS. In fact it syncs everying now under the local folder.
This was my only real complaint with JB (still can't think why they would have done away with such a useful feature though) so far. One very happy camper here: warp speed browsing plus Flash plus Google syncing plus the cool and improved thumb navigation thingy :laugh:.
Now if only I can find a way to get ADB and root back .........
There is a free fix, no root needed

I really like the simple News and Weather app (I believe it is a google app) that was on my EVO Shift and Nexus S. I was dissapointed the LTE didn't have it so I found a data app version of it and am uploading it here in case anyone else wants it. It's just a data app so no messing with /system or anything. Click and enjoy
Thanks, this was a favorite on my old evo. This one seems a little refreshed even, is it opening links in its own browser?
Yeah this is the first device I have used where the links open in its own browser. I don't really like that actually so I've switched to a different one posted. You cannot resize the page in that browser for some reason. The reason I liked this one was because you can install it like a normal data app and on some ics roms on my tablet the menu button won't appear if I use the system app for some reason. But my tablet doesn't open links in that weird browser thing or else I don't notice it since I use it zoomed all the way out.
Worked perfectly on GT-I8190N

The 24hr forecast graph is very useful. I've been searching for this app for my S3 mini since my Nexus S died.
Don't know how you found a "data app version of it" but this is perfect for non-rooted devices.
Thanks a lot! :good:
Awesome find... This version is much better than the version I was using prior. Thanks! :beer:

Hello everyone, I am a fairly new XDA user and have been on topics for my Galaxy S2. I also happen to own a Transformer Prime TF201. I have to admit, I love everything about the tablet aside from its size. Not so portable but, great aside from the portability.
Since there are little to no tablet optimized apps on Android I end up using the browser on the prime more than anything. Occasionally I will run into a problem where a page will load completely blank white. Usually, when this occurs, I just clear the cache and things get fixed. But, a few days ago, even after clearing the cache, the pages will load completely blank white. I have Chrome on my prime so I can use that at the moment but, it is very unstable compared to the standard browser that comes with the prime. Does anyone know of a fix to this white page loading problem?
Sorry if this has already been mentioned or fixed before. I did a search and didn't find anything on the topic so, I figured that a new topic might be necessary.

This happened to me once or twice, but simple closing and reopening helped. Since I'm unlocked and on custom rom, I haven't had such problem.

I would say just ditch the built in browser. I use two browsers: 1. Chrome as my primary and 2. Dolphin if I come across something where I really need flash. JB does away with the old Browser app and replaces it with Chrome anyway. So why not get it and get used to using it now rather than try to get along with the old browser which is going away anyway.

There is just something about Chrome on the tablets and phones that just don't do it for me. The PC version is fantastic, but, the android version is just bad I think. I have it lock up all of the time. I guess I'll have to use it for the time being I guess.

Have you tried using Firefox Beta?
That's what I currently use and it works great. I will say that I have had it toss out the occasional ANR message and crash, but I find it to be more stable than Chrome.

I have given a variety of browsers a go but, I just can't seem to find any that I like and are as stable as the stock browser. Why can't they just make it work like Apple's Safari browser for the iPhone?

The easiest way to do this is to go into settings, then manage applications, then find the stock browser and select clear defaults. Then the next time you open a link or browse a web page it should give the option to use either chrome or the stock browser for these actions, click the box that says use this by default. Then click on chrome and you should be good to go
That dont help.... I need Covenant eyes to think chrome came on my phone and not the stock browser....

This seems like a harder work around than its worth if you haven't figured it out yet.. Why not just install a different app that's does the similar thing however actually allows chrome to be monitored?
What browsers are you guys using. I've tried to give the stock browser a go but it sucks. I have a zagg screen protector so maybe thats it. Just seems hard to press links.

The stock browser does not suck at all. I think it's faster/smoother than all other browsers.
You could give Google Chrome a try. It's a bit slow/choppy for me though.
There are a bunch of browsers in the Play Store to try too (Dolphin, etc.). Give them all a try and see what you prefer.
I've used dolohin browser before and like it. I just wanted to give the stick browser a far shot one more time.
I use Opera mini. It's very fast and I love it!

Stock Browser is awesome in itself.
But I use Chrome for the link between phone and computer. Luckily dont experience this clunkiness you are referring to.
I'm using Chrome Beta. I'd like to use something else but the syncing of all tabs/history between mobile and desktop has me hooked. Otherwise I really like Dolphin and another one called Xscope

Stock browser does not sync with chrome bookmarks...an absolute requirement for me. I have never been able to get any of the bookmark sync across platform things work anywhere near as well as Google's built in solution, and I am not going to f%$$ around doing manual syncing. So I use the AOSP browser. Fast and light.

Find Chrome to Phone in the App Store, it's never not worked for me (as it is, in fact, built by Google).
edit: This doesn't support bookmarks anymore apparently... weaksauce. I always click the button to send to my phone what I need to read later, anyway.
I think it may be the thickness of my zagg screen protector. After using both browersers back to back the stock browser loads pages faster than dolphin but it just seems hard to click or tap anything. Sometimes I have to tap 3 times.
How do you install flash on the stock browser?

The arm32 one worked fine for me.
But g4 snapdragon808 is not support 64bits?
I'm liking this a lot, scrolling through web pages is super smooth as there are no ads to load.
I am a huge fan of this app. This is just by far the best web browsing experience I've had on any device

Thanks, yes the XDA ads nowadays are massive and slow the heck out of page loading. Huge 300 x 600 px one on my desktop is a pain, always some flash movie ad thing.
Downloaded the 64-bit one. Which one is right for the G4? 64=bit seems to work fine though, so maybe it doesn't matter.
Thanks for sharing :good:
NoChromo-arm64-v45.0.2420.0-2 works perfect

I use Apex launcher, when you install the launcher, then long press any icon, then edit the name.
P.s you also need to install "icon pack" in order to change nochromo icon to Chrome icon.
WOW
I installed the arm64 version and I'm blown away with the speed and smoothness of this browser. When someone else said it was like night and day they wasnt kidding.
If you don't get this ad free version of chrome then you must need your head examining. Less data, still sync bookmarks, passwords, data etc and no ads resulting in fast as hell browsing. I'm blown away by this browser.
Thanks for sharing this.
Any difference really between this and using the hosts file with AdAway?
i dl and compare!
EDIT:
I don't see any difference in loadingtime with this and chrome+adaway!
