This is a great Today app, but has annoying habit of moving down the screen by a bar - see attached pic. Anyone know solution or not have this problem?
I liked it too... for the first 5-10 minutes or so. Gave it my best shot, tried many settings and options, installed and re-installed it a few times, but it's buggier than an entomology museum and eventually screws itself and your device up.
yep, i agree, funny and eye candy interface but heavy and buggy... i did it a chance but uninstalled soon.
Anyway, i got the same bug... there should be an option in the first tab of TouchFlo settings panel for the plugin heignt, you have to reduce a bit from full and manually find tne correct height, i can't remember the exact number now, sorry
for me is this great app:

WAD2
For me the best is WAD2, even if still in RC12 and a little buggy.
However I've 9 virtual pages, a dozen of docks (used practically as other pages), full of graphical candy, everything at 2 taps, quite all the functionality many previous programs had, and the best it's very easy to do the interface YOU want!
All this never going under 16-18 Mb free on a 64 Mb Universal using Tomal 7.7 ROM. The counterpart to having all this RAM is page switching isn't the fastest. But if I had 128 RAM (can't find anybody in Italy!) I could get off the "low-memory" management and have the speed in change of more RAM.
Hi guys!
Frustrated with the Opera browser on the HD2, I decided to take matters into my own hands
What really bugged me was the inability to see the whole page when browsing the web, and by that I mean go fullscreen… This is possible on the iPhone, Nexus one, Hero, Pre etc. but not on the HD2!
The reason behind all this: Virtual Screen Width….
The resolution on, lets say the iPhone, is poor 480x320… Most webpages are AT LEAST coded in 1024x768…
The reason why the iPhone, with its inferior resolution, is able to go fullscreen on most webpages, is because Safari lets the iPhone use Virtual Screen Width… "Virtual" is the keyword here …
On the HD2 we are blessed with the wonderful native resolution at 800x400 pixels .. This is all great, but there is one problem: Its not 1024, 1156 or 1280… Its 800x400… = 800 in width = crippled page view!
The problem is that Opera, on default, isn't configured with any sort of "virtual" screen width… It is 800 pixels all the way…
But!
We can activate the Virtual Screen Width, and thereby go fullscreen on any webpage= No more crippled web browsing!
Go to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom]
Change "Virtual Screen Width" from "800" (The native screen width) to "1024", "1152", "1280", "1366" or whatever suits your browsing needs
My configuration is like this (Gives a good overview, without destroying visibility):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom]
Virtual Screen Width: 1024
Hope you guys enjoy
Update: Some people are experiencing some problems with "double tab to zoom"... This most likely has to do with another tweak in relation to "Default Zoom" in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom] .... If you have changed this value, please change it back to value "175"... My browsing experience is perfect... Fullscreen, double tab, smooth etc. To me the HD2 is now a real internet device
Update 2: Here are some other tweaks, provided by astrodemoniac in another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=626157
I post it here to create a better overview of whats possible "tweaking" wise on the Opera Browser:
Increase Scrolling FPS:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Info]
PanFps=50
Increase Zooming FPS:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Info]
ZoomFps=50
Lower Default Zoom:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom]
Default Zoom=100 (I would advise to just keep it on 175, as it works perfectly with my fullscreen tweak.. Some people lose "double tab to zoom" when editing this value.. Keep it on 175!!
+ these tweaks (mainly from tboy2000):
Increase the font cache for displaying text quicker:
HKLM\Software\Opera\Info\
fontcachesize = 64
(default was 32)
Source: this thread (item #76)
Complete page loading = Avoid the unfamous "checkerboard background"
HKLM\Software\Opera\MemoryLimits:
AllocLimit = 70254592
HeapLimit = 73400320
memory_heap_threshold_size = 131072
mmap_reserve_size = 20971520
sbrk_reserve_size = 49283072
Source: this thread (item #76)
If using the newest Opera build from 1.67:
Enable this new Opera to open favorites on the Sense internet tab
HKLM/Software/Opera/Info
UseOperaBookmark = 0
(default = 1)
Enable this new Opera to download files on Storage Card
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ SDMemory
Folder = Storage Card
Thx!
I'm not sure I got this right...
- Does your tweak work on landscape or portrait? Because this thread here already talks about full screen in, I believe, portrait views. Will you tweak have influence on both portrait and landsape?
- Could you make a screen capture, so we can understand? (BTW, BsB tweak use very simple ways to make screen captures)

It works in both portrait and landscape.. The tweak you refer to adjusts the zoom levels... Not the visual width....
You can see "my" tweak as the key to full screen browsing like on your laptop or whatever... It makes your screen "believe" its actually, lets say 1024 in width, instead of 800... An amazing difference.. Try it out and you will never go back
Nice find!! The full page view is indeed awesome!
But i noticed that double tap zooming doesn't work anymore. But who cares! The fullpage view matters more.
Thanks!
thanks
but it lose the double tap zoom function
Niiiice!!!
I dont lose double tap zooming..!!
(maybe cause i applied all the tweaks for smoothness etc plus this one in the latest opera from 1.67 rom..found here i think!)

Maybe is due to opera build. Mine is 9.7 build 35627. I think I probably should upgrade to the newer build.
Edit :
The double tap zooming is gone when this tweak is used with this,
Lower Default Zoom (Really takes advantage of the HD2 beautiful screen)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom]
Default Zoom=100
Simply change the default zoom back to 130 and double tap zooming will work again.

I also loose double tap to zoom, but only in portrait mode. In landscape it is ok. I set the screen width to 1024. Also my registry key is called 'Virtual Screen Width' not 'Visual Screen Width'
My opera build is 9.7 build 35577. I am on ROM 1.48.405.2 WWE
BTW my original value for the Default Zoom is 175 not 130. I have tried using 130 but it doesn't work. The only way it seems to get the double tap to work in portrait mode is to change the screen width back to 800.
Pinch zooms works ok though.
Are we actually talking about the "VIRTUAL SCREEN WIDTH"
Changed the setting to 1024, looks good. Thanks for the tip
+1 double tap zoom is gone

Nomination
A real beauty, this tweak. Thanks for sharing.
I would like to nominate this tweak, together with the default zoom-level tweak, for a Grammy Award in the category `best Opera tweaks´
EDIT: added a little cab that changes the "Virtual Screen Width" to 1024. The benefit of using a cab is that when u unistall the cab, the default value is restored. (@ OP: feel free to attach this cab to your own post. The author rights are all yours )

i would actually advise people that those who want to still be able to use double tap zoom to not use this cab.
By default, 1024 disables double tap.
I recommend 1023, or better, 1000.
I figured this trick not too long ago.
See my post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5510142&postcount=3
Not fully related, but is there a way to disable the soft buttons always appearing during page loading? I find it highly annoying that it always brings the buttons and address bar up, rescaling the page at the same time, and making it a pain to scroll during loading... I only need those if I press the bottom right "menu" button, not all the time automatically...

I have no problems with the double-tap zoom feature. I'm on opera 9.7 35758. What version are you running? (sounds like a weird bug to me)
Changed it to 1280... look awesome, still have my double-tap. Haven't updated my Opera build yet.
Great, it really works fine and should have been the default parameters for Opera!!! I really can't understand why a community like ours is able to change some simple numbers and get the best out of our HD2 ! Anyway, here are the tweaks I use for Opera from now on:
Fullscreen view on portrait and landscape (actually "Full Width")
This enable a webpage to be fully seen when you first load the page.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom
Visual Screen Width = 1000
(default was 800 ??)
(real full screen = 1024, but with this, double-tap zoom does not work anymore)

My Opera build is also the latest, from the leaked ROM 1.67 found here. With this new build, though, even more tweaks are needed... because I'm using the official HTC ROM 1.66
Enable this new Opera to open favorites on the Sense internet tab
HKLM/Software/Opera/Info
UseOperaBookmark = 0
(default = 1)
Enable this new Opera to download files on Storage Card
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory
Folder = Storage Card
(I use a french ROM and the latest official ROM 1.66 translates the word "storage card" to french, making Opera not able to know where the microSD card. This tweak solves it)
And finally, I also use BsB tweak 1.6 to enable more tabs for Opera and to enable link click even when zoomed out...
Damn... I think we really need some BIG CAB to easily change this all... I just don't know how to make it. Help
I changed my pinch zoom framerate to 50 the other day, and yes, it's much better... but is there a way to increase the rate of zooming. I don;t like having to pinch several times when on my 3GS I only have to do it once. I know I can just double-tap, but still...

Hi everybody,
I'm looking for useful hacks or tweaks to increase the IE performance. Does anybody know settings to speed/power up the render (loading) time?
Thanks 4 help - TankerBill
*push*
Has nobody an idea? I could found a lot of registry tweaks - but nothing for better IE performance...

If you go to Settings > WiFi > Turn On, this usually speeds up loading for me
Honestly though, I haven't seen any performance tweaks for IE and I doubt you will find any. The rendering time on my IE is superb - faster than my previous Opera on WM/Android & stock Android browser and certainly very close to Safari.
You could always make sure you view mobile pages instead of the full desktop version, but then again that's the default setting anyway!
Thanks for fast reply...
I like the GUI and the price of WP7 phones - but I heard the Nexus S or Desire HD rendering time is much better?

I just found this website with a fix for the keyboard lag in the stock browser:
smartadopter Wordpress -> TIP Improve Honeycomb Browser Speed
(I am new so not allowed to post outside links )
Basically it says:
1) as url type: about:debug
2) nothing will seem to happe.n BUT new menu options are available now
3) go to menu -> settings -> debug, and uncheck OpenGL Rendering
4) no more lag!
If this already floated around this forum, sorry. But if not, or for the people (like me) who missed it, enjoy!
I have not found any drawbacks of this fix. But if anybody find/knows any drawback/problem with this, please let me know.
Ill test this but im guessing scrolling speed will suffer as that uses the OpenGL.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
Good advice. Will try it out now.
Tested and it works great. Scrolling is not affect either by this by the looks of it. Zooming works as well.
This fix isn't working. The input lag isn't gone completely, it's less noticeble, but it's still there.
And like someone mentioned before, scrolling isn's as smooth as before. Also YouTube videos don't work.
All this fix does is turn off hardware acceleration in the browser.
Some things get better, others get worse.
sassafras
Scrolling is not as smooth but I have no problems displaying YouTube movies.
But typing is a lot easier without (or with much less) lag.
So for me OpenGL rendering will stay off until the next update.
And lose my graphic acceleration? No thank you
No drawback?! Scolling looks like a freaking slideshow with that disabled ^^
Quick question for you guys... does the keyboard lag in Dolphin HD?
Not as much as the stock browser.

For me the drawback is very obvious ... scrolling through a thread in this forum is horribly slow without OpenGL. But the keybord works like a charm.
I think, I will stay with Opera for forums and use the stock browser for the rest with OpenGL switched on ... loading times in Opera are much slower.
Thanks for the tip though.
I notice objects on the page rendering with every swipe as I move down the page ...probably why scrolling is not as smooth.
Strangely the scrolling lag has disappeared. So now I have less typing lag and little scrolling lag.
So until the next update I am a happy camper.
The only lag in typing I have left has to do with the auto complete function of the on screen keyboard.
This warrants further study (in the words of someone famous) because I'm seeing the exact opposite effect.
I've gone back and forth between this site and another forum having a similar javascript textarea form, comparing text entry with the "Enable OpenGL Rendering" box checked and unchecked in the Debug menu. On both sites, text entry is WAAAY faster using the dock keyboard with the box CHECKED. This is using the stock browser, BTW.
If I use a virtual keyboard (Swype for tablets in my case), it's still faster with OpenGL enabled but not nearly as fast as with the dock keyboard.
There must be some other factors involved however, since this behavior is not consistent. At times the keyboard (dock and virtual) seriously lags regardless of the Debug setting.
I sure hope Google (or ASUS) can fix this issue since it's hugely frustrating when the keyboard lags badly. In a few cases, I've just given up trying to post a message and pulled out my laptop instead of fighting the browser.
