I was looking to get a browser that looks like cyanogen mod. I do not like the bars at the bottom of the stock sense browser that pops up when scrolling. Does anyone have an APK or a flashable mod.

You can enable the quick settings/controls tabs in your browser settings and it gets rid of the pop up I believe your referring to. Open up your browser hit menu/settings/labs. Enable quick settings/controls.

I want a launcher that I can have the option to hide or remove the dock and icons so I can place a widget in that area is there any such option in launcherpro? Or do I have to get something else.

Adw has this option. launcher pro does not.
Sent from my cm7 Aria using XDA App
yes, and ADW Ex has even more customization. definately worth a few dollars
Alright I found the setting
Is there any way to have a shortcut or something that would pull up the app catalog without having the dock?
The only way I could do it was by enabling one icon but that defeats the purpose of me doing this since Im trying not to have any icons on the bottom of the screen where the dock is so I can make my own shortcut with minimalistic text

You should be able to set that as a swype gesture in the adw settings. Or set the home button to open close the app drawer.

Yeah I actually figured out something I was doing wrong in trying to get the look. It wasn't minimalistic text it was actually a dock and with launcher pro i just made some blank icons and set swipe feautures and it came out how I wanted. Thanks

Is there a way to stop the notification bar from getting covered by the full screen browser?
This annoys me as well. Any fixes other than using an alternate browser?

Nothing I'm aware of, short of using an alternate browser. You can always just press "Menu" whenever you feel like checking the Notifications bar though. Its a simple enough workaround.
i just tried overriding the default browser with the default android browser and i failed. this annoys me also.
If youre familiar with about:debug, run that and see if there is an option to change that. I only used it to change the ua string

I used root explorer and replaced the HTC browser with the android stock one. Works okay for me, but breaks long-pressing. Can still select text via the menu.

Hopefully the devs will figure out how to get around this in their Sense roms

after you did this did you have to fix permissions?
Hey guys. I'm looking for a launcher that allows you to use it completly full screen without a dck. Ive tried launcher pro and go launcher so far I haven't seen an option in any of them to remove dock so hoping one of you can help me.

What he said. I'm using a combination of ADW Launcher EX and CircleLauncher
Your main screen will look like this:
The icons you see on the top left and bottom right are CircleLauncher. When i tap them they open up the predefined app selection of my choosing. You have the choice of a circle, horizontal or vertical style.
Another neat thing on the ADW Launcher EX is that you can use the swipe up and down gesture to preform actions. For example swipe down opens my Notifications Bar and swipe up opens my Apps Drawer.
Hope you find what you need.
Here's mine ADW

I like Adw. It's simple clean and fast. Not sure if I will upgrade to the paid version since a lot of reviews are have force close issues. Are you getting any?

Personally i have never had a force close on my 3D. On my 4G I did have a couple force closes but it didn't bother me as much. Try out the free version for a couple days to get the feel of it. If you feel generous afterwards you can "donate" to the owner instead of "buying" it, that's how I looked at it. Good luck!

The same thing can be accomplished with Launcher Pro as well.
+1 for ADW. I hide the notification bar and get rid of the launcher. Here is a link to my setup. I've made some changes lately but you can get the general idea. Swipe down opens the notifications and swipe up opens the app drawer...

Any of you tried wave launcher? I love that... Another great option if you ditch the dock. And you can use it from anywhere from any app
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Yeah, ADW does exactly what you're looking for, here's another image to add to the pile on this thread =p
What my home screen looks like (click for full size):
You can also set an optional 'hidden' dock that comes up on a specified gesture (for example, if I flick upwards I get my appdrawer, phone and ADW settings).
Tried wave launcher. Wasn't feeling it. Settled on circle launcher. Advanced settings go for deep customization.
With auncher pro i could never find out how to hide dock. Anyways to much work if they can't just add a simple setting to hide it. Shame cause I want it for the gmail widget plus glass sense glass theme.
Only bad think about Adw is the app drawer lags when opening and really bad scrolling. Not much of an issue once I have my screens setup. Never need to use it.

OK this is a new one on me. All I did was flash a deodexed rom and now for some reason I have lost my Browser icon/shortcut. Now it gets even weirder, it is only missing from TouchWiz. I have installed GoLauncher and it shows up there. Now I know that I could just continue to use GoLauncher but the fact that I can't get the Browser launch shortcut to show up in TouchWiz bugs me. Would anyone be kind enough to explain where I screwed up?
What replaced it? If it's still in the apps drawer, you can put it back in. Apps drawer-menu-view type-customizable grid-menu-edit.
Nope, not in the app drawer or in the dock. Nothing replaced it. The browser.apk is still located in the system/app folder however it just does not show up anywhere when running TouchWiz.

Check for app called "Web" instead of Browser
There is no app in the dock or drawer called web or internet or browser or anything with a globe as an icon. It is for some reason just not visible in TW.

Have you tried reflashing, or even restarting?
In the stock browser, I hit menu then more and select text. It lets me select text, then what? How do I copy? I go to the same spot in the menu as "select text" after selecting and there are no new options. Long pressing on selected text also gives me nothing.
sent straight from my brain....
You highlight the text and then hit the highlighted stuff and it gives you option.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
once it is selected long press on the highlighted text for the options menu
Or just switch to dolphin browser HD it has better copy/text functions and tabbed browsing.
I couldn't get down with the Dolphin Browser myself. I just use stock. Couldn't really find one I was happy with.
Agreed on the browser... I use stock, but I do have Skyfire installed for sites that the stock browser hoses up.

I don't like skyfire much myself but any browser is better than stock. I love the tabs and gestures in dolphin. It's pretty much Firefox but it actually pwns the android Firefox browser lol.
Android Firefox was absolutely horrible.
