Why is it so awful? Most of the suggestions are worthless, and the apps I share to regularly bounce around, when they should be at the top. Is there any way to fix this?

Update: Wow I'm an idiot. There's an icon right on the address bar that opens the exact window I'm thinking of. In my defense, I don't think I used to have to access it this way. I seem to recall there being a menu option. Who knows. I bricked my G1 so I can't go look.
On my G1 I could long-press on the Back button and get my browser history. I've read elsewhere that this is the case on other phones. This is mysteriously missing from the Vibrant. Plus there used to be a menu option to see it. I can find no way to access the history using the "Web" app. There is a button in settings to clear the History, but what's the point if no one can ever see it?
Same with Bookmarks. I can create bookmarks, but there don't appear anywhere! The button that normally shows bookmarks (if I recall correctly) is now an "Add RSS Feeds" button. The only way I've been able to access bookmarks is by creating a shortcut on my home screen. That's pretty ridiculous.
I seem to remember bookmarks, history, and possibly the open window list all being in one spot with a tabbed interface. All I can get to now is the open window list. EDIT: No, wait, I think it was bookmarks, history, and downloads all in one place. I was using CM5 at the time if that matters.
Am I missing something obvious here?
Also, does anyone else think it's annoying that the browser has it's own brightness setting and you can't just tell it to use the normal brightness setting? I understand the idea behind the future. You spend a lot of time staring at the screen when using the browser, so it's nice to be able to dim it to save battery power, but I sure wish there were an option to just make it use the normal brightness, because I really don't care. This is especially annoying when I have the brightness in the browser all the way up, and I'm using the reddit app at night in my bed, and I click a link. BAM! I'm blinded by the bright screen and have to keep staring at it to go find the setting to lower it.
I think Samsung made some really dumb mistakes with their version of Android. I know that custom roms solve these problems, but users shouldn't have to hack their phone to get basic features like access to browser history and bookmarks.
well, is it possible to implement bouncy scrolling in x10, the one with the spring effect at the end of the document? I guess Apple has a patent for it, heck it has patent for everything!
I did some searching and got that we can have this effect in the homescreen (through adw launcher), but i am talking about every scrollable menu list.
Incase you don't get what i am talking about, the effect is in devices like iPhone, Samsung Captivate, etc. When a menu list reaches its end, the scroll does not stop, rather there is an spring like effect which allows the list to go little up or down, depending upon the direction of the scroll.
Cheers!
For the home screen and app drawer this is definitely availible through adw and possibly launcher pro. However in order to have an effect in menus like system preferences and such would I require a modification to the rom I believe. I could be wrong
was thinking the same thing. i suppose its not easy as like opening build.prop and putting a line that says " windowsmgr.scroll_cool_bouncy_effect = yes ", is it? haha.
But someone should have some idea on how to do it..
does anyone know about custom menu loaders?
anyone....?
I've searched but not seen this topic covered - there is a lot of information flowing so I apologize if I missed this topic.
I'm installing apps from Google Play (from my PC) and they are automatically populating on the home screen and any other screen that has open real estate. Is there a setting that I've overlooked that will stop this from happening?
Uncheck auto-add widgets from play store settings. Fixed.

Thanks! That's the ticket! Didn't even think about looking there. So much going on with this thing and its awesomeness.
I've been looking up everywhere as to how to make apps, but everything i see is too complicated and i don't understand it. What i want to do is create a simple app that has a bunch of pages that you swipe to get to the next page, each page will just be a picture with a single button on it that links to some text. How would i go about doing this? (i have no programming experience)
bumpity bumpo.
Sorry, really need help on this and everything i find is too complicated.
Nothing? really? Well, is there anywhere else i can try to get an answer?
Is anyone else really annoyed by the horizontally scrolling "share via" popup that replaced the vertical list of apps? I have to do so many more swipes now; I don't know why they'd change it. Is there any kind of Closed hack to change it back?
Thanks.
That is a matter of the device. It is not that way in aosp.
Dang Samsung...
