Loccy's BetterBrowser - now in Donut edition (v1.5: 8th Oct 11am/BST)

The important bit - get it here:
Version 1.5 (Donut - also Hero)
Version 1.5 (Cupcake)
I've changed the hosting of these files from 4shite. You shouldn't now have any problems downloading. The new links are hosted at www.androidspin.com - thanks guys!
Optimised version of V1.5 (Donut) (thanks Dwang)
Optimised version of 1.5 (Cupcake) (thanks Hotweiss)
(note ref the optimised versions; Dwang's works fine on my Magic but I haven't tested Hotweiss's. If you have problems try the originals instead.)
MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT VERSION! READ THE CHANGE LOG (in post 2) TO SEE WHAT'S NEW.
Older versions can be found at the bottom of this post.
So what actually is this?
This is a new build of the stock browser, that incorporates the multitouch code from Cyan's build, along with some additional code of my own, primarily intended to make zooming less painful, and looking to gradually move towards an experience as rich as the Hero browser.
What does it do that's new, then?
* option in settings to disable the obnoxious on-screen zoom buttons that usually appear whenever you so much as breathe on the screen (turn off "Visual Zoom Controls" in the menu to get rid of them - off by default).
* when Visual Zoom Controls is disabled, option in settings to add zoom in and zoom out to the menu (although this will bump over options that are normally on the main menu to the "More..." list)
* Double-tap the screen to zoom in. When it gets too ginormous (about four zooms) a subsequent double-tap will zoom all the way out. Or you can just change this in the settings so double-tap always zooms in. Obviously it still has the multitouch option too from Cyan's code.
* Triple-tap to zoom out! (which I am particularly pleased about given that such an event doesn't actually exist in Android )
* Click top-right corner to pull down address bar. Click top-left corner to go back to homepage. Click top-left when on homepage to exit browser (i.e. "clear" it from memory insofar as Android apps ever get cleared from memory).
* Click bottom left to go to previous tab, bottom right to go to next tab.
* Maintain zoom level across a domain, so that when you get a comfortable viewing size, you don't lose it the second you move to the next page on a site.
* Maximum number of tabs increased from 8 to 32.
* As requested by fastludeh22, an option for "Mobile Web Settings". Select from Android, iPhone or Desktop browsing.
* As requested by fit333 (and who was as good as his word, and donated ), an option to lock in landscape mode.
* setting to enable hiding/showing of notification bar. Note that this needs the entire Browser process to be restarted to take effect (so use the top-left click to go home, click again to quit the browser, and then reload to see the effect).
What do I need to run it?
Well, a Cupcake or Donut based rooted Android phone, basically. Make sure you download the correct version. If you are installing on Hero, you might need to wipe all the application data otherwise you'll get force closes.
How do I install it?
The only "safe" way is to push it with ADB. Delete /system/app/Browser.apk and any Browser.odex. Then adb push my browser into /system/app/Browser.apk. Many people had success on Cupcake by just installing via file managers. I managed to upgrade - note, UPGRADE, not install from scratch - by downloading it on my phone from the download link. It'll tell you this is a system application, do you want to update it - say yes. This was on Dwang's Donut ROM. However, the only method I'll "support" is via ADB because it's all so variable. ADB should (in theory) work on any ROM.
I installed your browser and now I can't browse the interweb, my phone exploded, I lost my job and suffered an embarrassing rectal prolapse in a public place. I blame you!
Thank you, please call again. All purchases are final. I would suggest that one uses a program to back up your bookmarks at the very least before installing this.
This is the best thing since self removing trousers! What do I do now?
Send me money by clicking here.
Future improvements I'm hoping to do:
* A proper full screen option (i.e. where you'd also hide the title bar as well as the notification bar, and only show it when pages are loading)
* Hero-style lairy Mac coverflow-esque bookmarks (some way off in the future methinks!)
* tidy up what behind the scenes is, unfortunately, some really kludgey code!
Thanks go to:
* Cyan, obviously, without whom none of this would have been possible, and whose ROMs continue to break new levels of awesomeness
* makethetick, who pointed me in the right direction for the code in the first places
Raspberries go to certain individuals in this thread.
Older versions kept around just in case. THESE ARE ALL CUPCAKE BUILDS. IF YOU INSTALL ON DONUT YOU'LL GET CORRUPTED MENU ICONS.
Version 1.4.3
Version 1.4.2
Version 1.4.1
Version 1.4
Version 1.3
Version 1.2
1.1 (hide notification bar)
1.1a (notification bar left intact)

Hate the way the Android browser throws zoom controls in your face whenever you so much as breathe on the screen? Double-tap to zoom sound like your bag? Or maybe you want the option to view non-mobile versions of websites? Try my BetterBrowser.

Loccy's BetterBrowser - new stuff and bug fixes (v1.5: 7th Sep 11:30am/BST)
Changes for 1.5
* Bottom left/right corner click to cycle between tabs (so bottom left goes to previous tab, bottom right goes next)
* Slight change to top bar behaviour, because a couple of people didn't like it and were being put off upgrading. Top left corner to go back to the home page (and then again to quit the browser) is as it used to be. Pulling the address bar down is now top right corner rather than everywhere across the title bar - many people were complaining that they kept doing it accidentally so I've made it a little more "deliberate".
* Removed zoom in/out menu options. They were an early feature before I figured out double/triple tap, were buggy anyway (and non-existent in Cyan's implementation for Donut, even though the menu option was still there!) and I suspect no bugger used them any more.
* Glorious Donutty goodness! (i.e. you don't need to wait for Cyan to incorporate my changes, or suffer dodgy screwed up icons if you install the Cupcake version). I used Cyan's Donut branch as a base. He'd manually pasted in the code from my Cupcake based builds to create this in the first place, a real tedious and laborious process that I now didn't need to do, so many thanks for him for that.
Changes for 1.4.3
* Fix/change for maintain current zoom level across page loads. Now, it only maintains zoom across a domain (so if you're on site xyz.com, and zoom out to a comfortable level there, it'll maintain the sizing across pages on that site. When you go to another site abc.com, that one will start out at zoom level 1. This has the side effect of fixing the column-sizing issue that affected most sites but was most prevalent on mobile sites).
* Slight refinement to the top-corner and top-bar click algorithms. Should work a lot better now for those of you who have the notification bar visible when in the browser.
* Increased maximum number of tabs from 8 to 32. Not sure how this'll hold up, memory-wise - feedback please.
Changes for 1.4.2
* Maintain current zoom level across page loads (so it doesn't suddenly zoom back in whenever you go to another page)
* Fix for top bar clicks (i.e. click title bar to pull down address bar, click top left to go home) when notification bar not hidden.
Release notes/changes for 1.4/1.4.1
* fix to force close on mobile sites when double tap zoom cycle goes back
to the "all the way out" setting (and this time it's DEFINITELY fixed )
* you can now double-tap/triple-tap anywhere on a page to zoom - previously, you'd have had to avoid areas where there were links, otherwise the link would start to load before your zoom would happen.
* setting to change triple tap delay value in advanced settings (so the
lower the setting, the more responsive double-taps are, but the quicker
you have to get your triple-tap in!)
* setting to change double-tap behaviour, between the existing zoom cycle,
and also now just a simple zoom out only setting (so if you want to just
keep it simple, and have double-tap to zoom in, triple tap to zoom out,
the latter will be the setting for you). How many zooms this will result in per cycle will depend on the page you're viewing.
* change to double-tap zoom cycle behaviour - now zooms ALL the way out
to give a true page overview, and also introduces an intermediate step
between page overview and 1:1 zoom (this is a nice level for sites with
big fonts, eg. aintitcool.com)
* click title bar (or top of screen) to bring down the address/search bar
* click top left of screen to go to home page. Click it a second time when on the home page to exit the browser completely (or double-click from elsewhere).

Cool, double tap to zoom in and out would a nice feature to have.

Stupid noob question
I do need to uninstall the old browser apk first? Probably so.
mount and push APK to /system/app
do I need to chmod? and if so what is the number? 775?
Thanks,
Your Guinie Pig!
Chevy

Just flashed 4.0.1 yesterday and am running themeless. Rebooted just to verify and yes I have the same issues. FC on bookmarks and am missing the refresh and forward icons.
Cheers,

cover flow
It would be great if u could add the cover flow feature that the hero browser has for bookmarks and Thanks a lot those buttons kept getting in my way to.

intallation
I'm sorry but how do u get it on the rom?

Will this work on JACxROM?

Edit: fixed version hopefully now on the first post.

Yes, I'd uninstall the old browser first.
Install would go something like this, from your command line on your PC:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv Browser.apk Browser.original
exit
adb push Browser-cyan-pn-mod2.apk /system/app/Browser.apk

Bloody hell. It's taken me a week to get this far

I tried this and it seems to be working fine so far... thanks I really found those buttons annoying too

I think the zoom buttons can be beneficial sometimes instead of multitouch zoom for situations when you are using the phone with one hand. That's when I have use for them. But I guess if the double tap feature from Hero were implemented, this would have the same effect. Good job on the idea tho and keep up the hard work!

Not sure. I believe JACxROM and Cyan's have the same multitouch stuff in their kernels, so I see no reason why it wouldn't, but I might be wrong.

The double tap from hero would be nice good work on this.
Anyway you could post detailed uninstall old and install new instructions? Maybe terminal and adb commands?

You are my new best friend !
Thank you so much. Works perfectly.

Very nice! Always wanted this after using hero's browser.
One question: would it be possible to make the browser full screen (like no status bar)?

Works Great!
This was a really cool idea! I also would like to be able to double tap as well.
One more would be a way to get the screen back to original size without having to go back or open a new page.
I installed completely through terminal.apk
Good Job!

no rush
Thanks for the intallation info. No rush take your time. I know u just posted this not too long ago. Think of it this way though if u could get that cover flow going for the bookmarks that would be a major breakthrough for u cause then the rest of the devs would have to come to u for help. I think Hycuro had it to but with a second home launcher from the hero built. Thanks again.

I mounted /system and rm -r to remove the original Browser.apk and com.android.browser in /data/data.
Then did the following..note that I renamed the apk to Browser.apk:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system
cd sdcard
install Browser.apk /system/app/Browser.apk
reboot
Edit: Everything works fine.

Hi,
could you please create an apk file that also includes the Flashplugin? Is that possible yet?

[Kernel] SD Card activity LED

#include <cyanogen/std_disclaimer.h>
Ever wish your G1 had an activity light for the sd slot? Now it can!
The Linux kernel includes built-in support for triggers through sysfs (/sys/class/leds/*/trigger) which allow for such things to be set up. The only thing stopping us from using these is the fact that android triggers the lights manually, which then disables our trigger... What I've done is rename button-backlight to btn-backlight in the kernel, and added an init script to set it up automatically on boot. On G1 hardware, this results in the light under the call,home,back,end, and home buttons to flicker any time there's sd activity... I've applied the same patch for sapphire/myTouch and N1, although I have no way of testing these platforms, it shouldn't cause any problems.
This kernel:
-Is compiled against the latest cm-kernel code (as of May 21)
-Is available with and without bfs
-Turns your button panel into an SD indicator
-Includes an init script to set up the trigger at boot (runs before bootanimation!)
If you like my work, BUY CYANOGEN AND/OR KOUSH A BEER!
EDIT: look on page 5 for a update-sdled-v5.zip for the latest version... G1 (button backlights) and myTouch (jogball) support for sd activity without an init script, as well as a nand-disk option that can be set from a userinit.sh
EDIT: new v6 build on page 6.... rebased off the latest cm-kernel, which means oc support is now included....

whoops... I forgot to attach them... here's the files...

cool thanks a lot! will try that one now...

wow nice mod ! is it possible to change these led to the jogdial button underneath? i am using a mytouch - again,nice work...

Thanks! It should be easy enough to make that work... I just need to know what the jog dial is named under sysfs... I'll take a look at the code and see what I can find...

Meisterlampe2000: (or anyone else with a mytouch) could you please run the following command in terminal emulator or adb shell and post the output?

no problem!
it's called:

Awesome... Seems to slow down CSRom a bit though.
Is this overclockable?

i flashed on a mytouch with aosp 1.6 and overclock.update.zip - flashing this removed my OC.zip any ideas?

is it possible to check internal flash activity?

Overclocking is done at a kernel level, so in order to have both, I'd have to release an oc version... I've been considering running an oc kernel on my end anyway, so I will post a version with that once I've made the switch... as far as internal flash activity, I haven't discovered a way, but it should be possible... the only problem is that an led can only be set to one trigger, so if it is set up for internal flash, you don't get sd activity shown... I'll definitely be looking into it though
-------------------------------------

you should add it or at least try it, throw these two together and i think you might have something that'll be thrown into a lot of ROM's

myTouch jogball version
Ok, so here's a version that does the same thing, but with the myTouch jogball... THIS ONE WILL NOT WORK ON G1, as the init script sets up the jogball instead of the button backlight.. it is otherwise identical to the first one without bfs.
EDIT: wrong file edited... should work on the N1 trackball... if you wanna try the jogball on the myTouch, scroll down, I just posted another update

Yeah, if I can find a kernel led trigger for the internal flash, I may be able to then create a trigger that will register with both triggers to provide a single activity light for both... I definitely like the idea

MH, the file location seemed to be strange...
It´s not working on Sapphire...
Here is what i get for /sys/class/leds
->blue,jogball-backlight,btn-backlight,lcd-backlight,green and red
I guess, all those mixed colors are done via RGB for the Status LED ?
...anyway, for the Jogball, it must be jogball-backlight somehow ?
Thanks for that first shot !

Hmm, looks like I need to do some more grepping... strangely, the only jogball-backlight I found was in a board-mahimahi file... so I guess this second release is actually just for any n1 users that want it on their jogball, lol

[WIP][MOD]App Switcher Shortcut on Keyboard Dock

Edit - Aug-19-2011 - This works as of Android 3.2, but it brings up the old style (non-honeycomb) recent apps list. This is apparently what Asus has Alt-Tab mapped as now.
Edit - the dev section might not be the appropriate place for this. Feel free to move.
I'm trying to find a way to map a keyboard key to the recent apps multitasking menu, but I'm not having any luck. 'APP_SWITCH' would appear to be the proper keycode (see here) but there is no effect after making the necessary edit in the key layout map (/system/usr/keylayout/asusec.kl). I can successfully change keys to other functions (I tested by remapping GRAVE - aka the accent mark ` - to HOME), but I'm unable to pull up the app switcher. Anybody else have any luck?
I started putting together a write-up based on another thread (thanks shograt) but modified for the TF's mount points, filesystem, and key map file:
- # adb pull /system/usr/keylayout/asusec.kl
-- edit 'asusec.kl' with your text editor of choice. If you're on Windows, I've heard Notepad++ is a good choice.
-- Change the keycode to 'APP_SWITCH' (NOT working) for the key of your choosing. More info on key defintion formats here: http://www.kandroid.org/android_pdk/keymaps_keyboard_input.html#androidKeymapKeyLayoutMapTitle
- # adb shell
-- NOTE - verify mount point using cat /proc/mounts
- # mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
- # exit
- # adb push asusec.kl /system/usr/keylayout
- # adb shell
- # cd /system/usr/keylayout
- # chmod 644 asusec.kl
- # cd /
- # mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
- # exit
- # adb reboot

im surprised this has had no replies....this is something we really need
cmon guys, lets figure this out

this would be great!

i think it would good to see also

I too have found myself needing a window switcher key on the keyboard, it just makes sense, or at least an "alt-tab" function.

I'm another person who would love to have a recent apps key!
I wish asus had dropped that left Fn key for a recent apps key, makes so much more sense.

could the app 'Tasker' be used to acheive this?

Yes excellent idea, and maybe someone can come up with a way to remap the shortcut/keys to allow you have your own browser shortcut used instead on the default one, for one example

I'm not sure that the function is actually available to map to a physical keyboard at the moment. From google's docs:
public static final int KEYCODE_APP_SWITCH
Key code constant: App switch key. Should bring up the application switcher dialog.
Constant Value: 187 (0x000000bb)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Notice the 'Should' comment (emphasis added). None of the other keys have ambiguous language like that.
Also, using KeyEvent Scanner (from the market) doesn't return anything when the on-screen app switcher button is pushed. I didn't see anything in logcat either, but I didn't take a very close look. I'm out of ideas for now.

+1 for this, hopefully resurrecting this thread will reignite some dev'in
My plan was to edit the .kl file to map my wireless key (right beside Back/ESC) to Recent Apps...very strange too that Google has placed such an emphasis on 'should' in the docs...maybe 3.2 is more reliable at this??
Cheers

Haven't looked at this in a long time. Alt-Tab works now, so I guess that does the job though.

You're right! It will suffice I guess, but a one button hit would be best no doubt Funny because I thought it wouldn't work for me, but I first tested it while I was in Firefox. It still does not work while using Firefox, but in all other apps, it works.
To be greedy, it'd also be nice if CTRL+left/right arrow key jumped the carat to the beginning of words
Thanks for the ALT-TAB tip too bedoig!

I spent so long looking into keychars and keylayouts with a bluetooth keyboard on a Motorola Xoom. I went through and remapped a whole bunch of things - one of which was indeed APP_SWITCH.
It didn't do anything on 3.0 and 3.1, BUT when I updated to 3.2, it started magically working. I'm assuming that the same thing would happen here, though I haven't tried. Also, you could pull off remapping keys without adb if you buy root explorer. That way you can navigate to the files on your tablet and edit them directly.

I'd love to be able to change the "search" button to an app switch key.... but I don't know enough to do what the above suggests at the moment.

N/M, outdated...

What do you know, it works! I was hoping it would activate the recent apps list you get when using the on-screen button rather than the alt-tab Android 2.x style pop-up, but oh well.

I really hope this changes when ICS comes along!

fpse opengl plugin

did anyone got an opengl plugin working on our note?

Yep, I posted about it in the Games thread.

opengl fpse
Hi, thank you for answering my post. But where can i download the OpenGl plugin you are using?
I found this http://perso.numericable.fr/schtruck/libopenglplugin.so
But the screen goes black everytime i try to open a game.

That should be it, same link is available at the developers forums here: http://www.fpsece.net/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2034
There are some instructions for using it there - for the Galaxy Note you need to run it without a BIOS specified (but check their forums there are a couple of other things worth knowing).

i give up
well I give up, Tried everything now, even changed from stock rom to another rom and changed kernel, but nothing help. The opengl file doesnt work with the mali gpu. (yes, tried without bios to).

Did you uninstall FPSe and reinstall it?
Not sure what the issue is affecting you, but it is definitely working with the Mali GPU - I have it running on my Note, and my Tab 7.7, and lots of Galaxy S II users confirm it at FPSe forums.

update to the latest version and wipe the application data

Ill try
I did update to the latest version, but havent clearing application data. Ill try it later today. Thank you both for info.

I cant get it working on my Note either. When I try to load an ISO, it just takes me back to the load bios screen. I tried everything in this thread.

Hi buddy! any chance you could help us out with a step by step tutorial? I've been playing my ff7 in fpse since pre-openGL.
when I heard of the opengl, I stopped and was hoping to play it in opengl mode.
thing is, I can't get it to work.
I have been reading schtruck's post but can't seem to make it work.
TRICK for MALI400 GPU!
you have alway to start with Tekken3 in HLE mode and then reach the Characters selection menu
after you can apply bios and load any game then save or load to switch bios in MISC menu load a bios by choosing file - say what?
Switch to HLE by pressing Back to the Bios loader everytime,
restart to apply without quitting or you'll have to restart the procedure.
Here's what I have:
libopenglplugin.so
Tekken 3
bios
FF7
FPSE ver .11.11
1.) I start by wiping data in FPSE in manage applications
2.) Tap FPSE .11.11
3.) I am greeted with a "do you want to load bios screen", I tap NO.
4.) Load Tekken3
5.) wait and load till character screen.
6.) Then what?
it says, I can now apply BIOS and load any game.. I press "menu" go to misc, load libopenglplugin.so, then I can't seem to load a new game without quitting... Can't find where to load the BIOS too, it mentioned go to system, but I only have 4 options in system - dual core boost, thread priority, boost mode, and autosave...

Been playing Tekken 3 with Open GL on the new update today, so still working fine for me.
Don't load a BIOS at all.
Will do a step by step guide for you guys in a few days since it seems to be causing headaches (incidentally some games may not work well with it, but Tekken 3 definitely does).
There is a more recent update for the openGL plugin too I think, I grabbed the one near the top of the news thread that has update information at fpsece.net

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this might be a silly question but...is tekken necessary iso for this steps?
and after getting hle activated i still get black screen...maybe i didnt do it that fast?
and threads of fate can run w/o plug in ...although highly pixilated
or maybe threads of fate cant run with this plug in?

Yes tekken is absolutely necessary there is a bug in the fpse opengl plugin with the mali 400 on our devices and this is the only way around it as per the developer

Remapping Dock Keys (alt/search swap + back-> escape + screenshot -> camera)

I finally rooted my device after 2 years... lol. I love the dock, but it always bugged me that the search button was were you normally would find alt and the back key wasn't escape. It made doing alt+tab and using escape in terminal really difficult. Here's a guide on how to remap all these 4 buttons on the hardware dock keyboard for the transformer infinity. I think this probably will work with the prime and other transformer docks as they seem to have all the same key codes. All you need is root and to follow this guide and you can customize almost anything you'd like.
Remapping Screenshot Key to Camera Key
Who needs a screenshot key?? I think it'll be more useful as a camera key. Unfortunately, this is a custom program that handles all the special keys on the top of the keyboard (wireless on/off, bluetooth, etc.). I had to edit the source and recompile this to get the camera button to work. No guarantee that it will work for you as you will need to compile custom code, but you can use my file. I compiled it for Zombi-Pop 5.1.1.
org.omnirom.asusdec.jar
Download that file to your tablet. Open a Terminal up and remount /system as read-writeable.
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
Back up your current /system/framework/org.omnirom.asusdec.jar and then overwrite it with the new file.
Reboot and your screenshot button now should launch the camera!
Remapping Other Keys
Remapping the standard keys is much easier to do. All you have to do is edit a .kl (keyboard layout) file. You can use my .kl file or modify it to your own liking. Here is my .kl file:
asusdec.kl
#1. remount /system as read-writable. Refer to above.
#2. Backup /system/usr/keylayout/asusdec.kl if you have that file.
#3. Upload the new asusdec.kl to /system/usr/keylayout/asusdec.kl.
#4. (optionally) open the file and edit it to your heart's content.
#5. Reboot and enjoy your new key layout.

Can you remap the browser key to open another browser other than stock?
