Hi guys,
Not sure if anyone is interested in this but I've always used it on my N7 as I am a chrome user .
This tweak does exactly as it says on the tin .
This is the original article Droidnerds
I actually just followed the instruction from the xda thread Here scroll to post number 5 for instructions and download :good:
Thanks go to Logan Graham for the original article and to PurpleRob for bringing it to my attention
All the best Rich
For the life of me, I can not figure out why this is not a native setting by now. With high res screens and quad core power, there is no time I ever want the mobile site. The G-Pad eats web pages as fast as any PC I own.
This script is the main reason I root, well almost....... Been using this for quite awhile on all my Android devices.
browser stock lg?

Sorry in advance, but I bought a gtab for the wife, and although I'm an engineer with many years of experience with PC hw & sw, this android stuff is all new, and there's no user's manual that I can find, and I'm too old for this sh#t!
So anyway, every few days she comes up with something she easily does on the PC but can't do on the gtab running tnt lite.
Today's is that she wants to email a link to the website she's on to herself or others without copy and pasting to an email client, and I can't see, or find, any to do it.
Help, please. And anyone want to buy a slightly used gtab!?!? j/k; she does like it - but I don't need the aggravation!
Thanks for any help,
Robb

I don't know if this works on the TnT browser (I don't think it uses the stock Android Browser).
But on stock android browser, press 'menu', 'more', 'share page'
Thanks, but menu button seems to be dead while using the browser.
Lol I was trying to do the same thing earlier today and can't figure it out either My HTC evo all u do is hold down the website link and it will pop up share page or copy page URL. I have tried everything no luck
You could just load another browser??
Opera, firefox, dolphin, Xscope.
They all have their advantages.
Firefox mobile has a 'share page' option; thanks! 1 down, a few more to go. I do see there are printing apps I'll need to check out.

You can do it on Dolphin too if you want your browser to support flash.
Hey every one I read a article this morning that was on the app Appy Geek but was originally posted on Tech Radar. But the article says.
A snippit of code posted on Google's Chromium Code website reveals Google's Chrome web browser is to be ported to it's Android smartphone operating system.

Here is a link to the article, Chrome finally coming to Android?
Now I think this might just make a pretty significant change to Android and the user experience with Android. I also think it is about time Google made Chrome part of Android, that is if this turns out to be true with the release of Ice Cream Sandwich.
What is your opinion about this? And any links to other articles about this would be awsome.
Edit: I decided to do some more investigation on this subject. Below are some more articles that discuss this topic. From what I have found so far we will know for sure about this and if it will just be a app or the new default browser.
Is Google Chrome Coming To Android with Ice Cream Sandwich?
Google Chrome browser coming to an Android smartphone near you
Google Chrome will be released for Android Smartphone
Google’s Chrome browser finally heading to Android
Love it! Chrome is what I use at home.

Doubt it is going to happen anytime soon, but I love chrome and cannot wait for it to be ported to our phones.

I don't know about that now cause the article also says this.
Expect to see the official announcement at Samsung Mobile's Unpacked 2011 event in San Diego on 11 October - which is where we're also expecting to see the unveiling of Ice Cream Sandwich, the latest iteration of Android, and the Google Nexus Prime.

I also added a link to the article in the first post..
It's definitely a possibility, the Logitech Revue already uses Chrome.........I'm using it right now!
I have no real issues with the stock browser apart from its inability to download all files out the box.
Would be cool to see what They come up with tho, the firefox android version was pretty pants imho
I like the default Android browser, heck I have never even tried another internet browse for Android cause it is a very functional browser to me. Now when I was using Windows Mobile on my HD2 I tried several different browsers on it cause Internet Explorer just was notfor me.
Now having said that I do have two things I do not like about thedefault browser. One is the URL address box does not stay at the top of the browser pagewhen you scroll down. And the little icons you use to highlight text to copy and past or whatever you want to do with it does not really work that great. Even on my Acer Iconia A500 tablet, which I am using right now.
Shamless LOL
I added some more links on this topic to post #1, and this is a shamless BUMP!
I use Chrome everywhere now, except my phone, but I did think that the stock Android browser was based on Chrome. Am I mistaken in that assumption?
As for a fully fledged, actually called "Chrome", browser on Android, that just smacks of win!!! Especially if you can sync with the desktop version
Edit: Incidentally, I used to think the stock Android browser was the best available, after trying all the Market available browsers, but now I'm on MIUI and the browser is just amazing! (I do still want Chrome though )
i cant install google chrome in my phone =(

Hummm I sense a great shift! Yes a great shift in power I feel......
If Chrome comes to Android, there will likely be minimal change compared to the current browser. They're both based on WebKit, so the backends are identical. The only possible change I could see is to the UI, which is minimal on the phone side. Maybe we'll see proper tabbed browsing, like what's in Honeycomb.

Yeah that is like one of the main reasons I personally would like to see Chrome on Android. I have a Acer Iconia A500 and I love the tabs on it. They make using the browser so much smoother and user friendly to me.
One of the articles I read today was talking about just this point. I can not remember if I posted a link to it or not in post #1. But remember the browser in Honeycomb is themed to look more like Google Chrome bit it is still basically the same browser as the phone OS under it all. Point being this ICS is suppose to combine Gingerbread and Honeycomb into one OS. Also if Chrome or even a Chrome themed. Browser is intergrated into the Android OS it will be a pretty big change as the better internet browsing experience will help make Android more appealing to users.
I think this is a great idea, ICS with chrome. I just hope it will be fast!
wah nice if chrome is the default browser in ICS
The android stock browser is not bad, but it's only not bad,no more.
And It's not based on chroome, but it has webkit like chrome
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.mini.next.android
This new beta seems to have
1. Much lower memory footprint
2. Is much faster
3. Beautiful transitions!
3. Seems to work like a GPU accelerated app on Gingerbread!
which brings me to the question, is there any way a particular app can use GPU ui in Gingerbread. Not an NDK app, just a normal Dalvik-VM app.
Tested on GT-P1000
I was a fan of Dofin HD, then switched to Opera, a favorite, then switched back to the Fin HD since it seems to be lighter and faster.
I might give Opera another try and see how good it is.
But I definitely using stock WebBrowser when ICS released
Thanks OP

Give Opera Mini Next a try. It does have hardware acceleration says their press release though I don't understand how, on gingerbread.
Are there any hacks for it yet, like free 2g/3g internet?

You can get Opera Mobile which has the same UI as Opera Mini only the download is larger since it can download and render pages locally, and also includes flash compatibility. Opera Mobile also allows you to toggle turbo mode, I have mine set to be on turbo when on 3G and use the local presto engine when on wifi.

I'm not entirely sure this is only a Nexus 10 problem ... But I noticed yesterday that links have stopped working on some sites in chrome and boat browsers. The Guardian website for example. The link highlights on touch but does not open the relevant page. The only way I can get it to work is to long-press the link, then open the link from the popup menu.
This only seems to be a problem on the desktop version of a site, and is not happening in Firefox.
Can someone try this out to see of they have the same issue?
Thanks in advance

Thats exactly my first thought!
Its only happened since they launched their new mobile layout, but the desktop version is so good on a tablet.

sure, it does look good on tablet..
the new mobile is pretty cool on my phone
I love to read Charles Authur's completely biased one way thinking..an apple-nazi if ever there was one..
I have been searching for a solution, but its not so easy to analyse their HTML from my tablet..
when I boot up my PC I'll have a good look at their html to see why it's causing the problem in chrome
I do notice that the first time I go there the first link will work.
have you found any other sites where the links don't work?

Seems to be working again now.

What's your general idea? Is it gonna be based on a certain Android Platform? I'd like to see a Kit-Kat ROM since Kit-Kat is under development by Android.

What is really needed is better multitasking, especially as the number of tablets running Android grows. I mean have it so that apps can run on a portion of the screen at half third or quarter size, so they can be used simultaneously. Maybe it needs to be more like an extension of the widget functionality, where each widget is basically a full app running. So you could have a word processor, pdf reader, and browser window open at once. Or phone and sms, or youtube and file explorer, music and a simple game. I think Windows Mobile can do this in some limited way.
It feels like people obsess over minor changes to the appearance of the OS or arrangement of a particular app, and forget that you need to rethink some of the most basic aspects of the UI from time to time to stay competitive as an OS.
