Rosie tutorials

I kinda looked, but I couldn't find any mention of this. I am running Hero beta4 and just happen to run the tutorial. What do you know, its the Rosie UI, exactly as it appears in all those youtube videos. Except its running on my phone. I kind of thought the person in the youtube video was running Rosie.....it appears that all they were doing is running the tutorial off the Hero build.

It was stated by Haykuro that the videos were just the tutorial. He was trying to make them work for us before all the crap happened.

I installed then unistalled the herob4 build, the facebook stuff crashed and no UI and my ethics were eating away at my soul/ lol not really, kinda...idk...did xdan aplogize? i know the fake roger rom guy won't....does xda have an IRC? it should have a built in jave one...i'm gunna go find out

haykuro has video up of him actually running rosie on his g1

Myself, I kind of like the Hero build. I really really like the browser. I think a simple tap in-tap out approach to surfing works best. Some consider the lack of the zoom controls a flaw; I consider it a blessing.
Initially, there were many force closes, but after many reboots, they have mostly gone away and the phone is actually getting snappy. The personalize screen still force closes. The social apps work, except twitter.
Oh, and the browser is I guess broke...some kind of rendering error on most pages..I really don't want to re-flash

yeah, I've seen that too. Let me clarify since I obviously mis-spoke enough to cause confusion. I'm didn't mean to imply that Haykuro wasn't running Rosie, he obviously had control of the phone. I was just realizing that the Rosie demos were actually already on the Hero build. They're nice to watch.
I really like the visual bookmarks and panning tabs of this build. The rom in general is super sweet. BUT...I cannot get the browser to work. This is a major bummer. Maybe someone significantly more skilled than I will sort this out.

browser seems to be working fine for me on Beta 4.
My biggest problem with this ROM is bluetooth not working...I can't sync it with my car anymore and can't use the handsfree features in the car.
But I HATE the way the older ROMs look...the Black status bar at the top is AWESOME!

How exactly is your browser malfunctioning? Force closes or something else?

When i visit mobile pages, everything is great. But as soon as I try to visit a desktop version of a site, then it gives an error. The error message is actually part of the page, and it says:This page contains the following errors: error on line 219 column 26.....xmlparseEntityRef: no name.
The page has been loaded up until first error.

actually, the browser seems to work on wi-fi. But on edge, it will give you the parsing error when loading non-mobile pages. That is odd. I have checked APN settings and they seem ok.
Man, I loathe having to go back to an earlier ROM, I so love the way your history looks in this browser.

It's stuck on the "Installing" screen. =\

yeah, just read "This build requires Android 2.0 or above, and likely an OpenGL ES 2.0 capable device."
Anyone with a nexus/droid test this and can explain the openGL necessities of the browser?

Installed fine. Comes up for two seconds, then closes.. even with autokiller set to minimum.

Unfortunately the size is a turn off for this browser. Hopefully future builds will get smaller.

Same here. Would be nice to hear if anyone has gotten it working on a 2.1 rom yet
Currently running DC 2.06

both fennec and skyfire feel bulky & slow compared to opera mini.

Installed on toast OC, started up, then crashed when it tried loading the start page. this prolly has to do with OpenGL 2.0

I just want weave browser sync to work so i can have all my bookmarks, tabs and passwords synced between my my desktop, laptop, workstation, and cellphone.
https://mozillalabs.com/weave/
(choose experimental version for mobile, it works for android supposedly)
Unfortunatley the browser just closes itself out

The previous release was the first thing I tried after using apps2sd and it worked about as good as the posts here.

Same thing here on my rooted G2 Touch running Legendroid :-(
Opens, shows about:firstrun but closes before any content shows.
:-(

Same issue on my Hero running 2.1.

Fennec (Firefox Mobile) alpha release!

Mozilla just put out an alpha release of the Firefox Mobile browser for Android:
blog (dot) mozilla (dot) com/blog/2010/08/27/fennec-alpha-released-for-android-and-nokia-n900/
There's an unfortunate quirk with their download, which tries to pick the right version to present, making it hard to download the apk directly. I'm on a Samsung Captivate, so I needed to use the phone to suck down the apk, but then pull it over to my computer to install. Detailed here:
droidhacks (dot) com/2010/08/installing-firefox-mobile-on-a-samsung-captivate/

They must have fixed it. I downloaded from phone and installed it. Its very slow on my captivate even with lag fix...

Awesome, the plugins and sliding interface are heaps of fun. Can't wait 'til this is out of alpha, have been envious of it on a friend's N900 for some time.

no support for htc hero yet... (GSM)

Is it just me or is it rather slow? First time I tried to load Autoblog.com it stopped responding, second time it took forever to load. Other sites werent as snappy as the stock browser either?
I'm on a Droid, 2.2. I really want to like it but wth

I thought I heard a while back that they were ditching the mobile browser, and just going with Firefox Home?

Anyone got the APK it won't download for me. Thanks

in htc hero, android 2.1 villainROM not run.

Install is 28mb(!) even though apk is only 11mb.
App won't launch on my G1 with CM6 RC1.

Thanks,for shearing the link droidhacks,have tested the browser app a litle bitt but I think I still gonna use det default Webkit and Dolpin HD 2 for a while before Ì change

well. It takes me more than 10 minutes to install, but it doesn't work at all. #hero

Took forever to install, large install, and didn't work at all. Droid eris running cyanotazz v1.0

Downloaded very quickly to mu pulse mini but wouldn't load :-(

just a heads up......
it seems that if you have the mobile view un-checked in the browser settings it will try to download the mamo version.
or was it just me having problems downloading it.

downloaded with dolphin hd 2 in android mode...it downloads the apk that way. If I was in desktop mode, it kept downloading an install file. Works fairly quick on my EVO! Just starting to test.

Don't be, it's a disaster. I come from N900 (got the galaxy S) and firefox was simply unusably slow. I'm sorry to hear things haven't changed.
Although I miss the real multitasking and the quick switching among web pages, galaxy makes the N900 look like an unfinished product in every single aspect; starting with the unusably slow app manager to Nokia refusing to support Flash 10.1 or MeeGo on it and to the build quality issues I encountered (blue haze on pictures, dead pixels, light leakage and some layer of the screen not being fixed properly and making a clicking sound from time to time.
Firefox feels sluggish even on my 3GHZ pc. I'd rather improvements&addons being made for the default browser simce my trust in firefox's potential is... well... limited.

Yea using stock galaxy s and the latest build of fennec is very unstable D:

didn't ran on Legend, first time it said not enough memory, after mem cleaning this app not ran at all.

Google Chrome browser arrives on Android

The latest step in bringing Google-based unification has arrived. The Chrome browser is here on Android. This beta version is currently only available for that elite crowd of ICS phones and tablets and like its desktop progenitor, the synced settings and bookmarks are all in tow. Expect to see a new, more natural mobile view of the tab system. It'll also remember what you were last looking at on your desktop Chrome browser, and sync it across to your mobile device -- it's like Kindle or iBook's bookmarking system, but for the web. Your autocorrect content from the desktop is similarly synced. Expect to see the reappearance of link previews, something you may recall from the results of any Google searches, offering a brief thumbnail of a link's destination. We're giving it a good play-around right now, but while we get our first impression up, check the quick intro video after the break.
dont think we can get it on the note yet, but will be able to use it when they release the ICS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVjw7n_U37A&feature=player_embedded

It works just fine with the CM9 alpha build of ICS. Just FYI.
What is up with Adobe though? I thought Apple wanted to kill Flash, but it turns out Adobe hates themselves too.

happy firefoxian

May I ask how did you get to work?
The problem is when I choose to "open in new tab"I can not go to the new tab, it freezes and crashes every time..
Another user also said the same thing in the CM9 thread..
Thanks in advance

I've got the same problem... It seems like it would be ROM related, I saw a comment on Market from an HTC Desire user that complained about choppy performance but at least it seemed to run on that phone.
I would be really thankful if anyone managed to figure out and/or fix the problem! (if it is not ROM related)

Should Chrome stay in CROMI or just be a play store app?

Vote now!
I hate Chrome on mobile. It is next to useless and with it being available on the play store I no longer want to offer it at all in CROMI going forward.
Give me a good reason to keep supporting it otherwise it goes!

As I'm on your side, I will not give you any reason to incorporate it any longer. I sometimes use it, but I'd just as happily use the stock browser (right after install_ or Firefox (which is my current 'standard' browser, if there is anything like that to be found on Android). Most have speed issues, anyway.
Again: I vote for let it out.
EDIT: With Titanium Backup being incorporated into your excellent ROM, one can backup and re-install without needing moile data access anyway, so, as far as I'm concerned, there's a very valid line of reasoning against incorporating anything other than TB.

I personally use Chrome on all my devices- phone, tablet, PC, laptop, etc, and having all of my bookmarks and tabs is really convienent. And also just love how it looks!
Obviously, it doesn't really matter if you include it because you can just download off the play store but it's just one less thing we need to download
Anyways keep up the great work sdbags!

You do know the stock browser also syncs your chrome bookmarks by default on CROMI? Not sure what you mean about tabs?

I think it will sneak into 3.1 (in fact I know it will as its sitting there looking ugly, staring at me right now ) but from then on it will disappear as an install option. I've been using it for the last hour and it is like working in treacle even with Browser2Ram installed. It does render pages nicely but there is no full screen option, typing is extremely laggy and dragging pages around is painful. The stock browser is 10000000% slicker and a pleasure to use in comparison. And it has more options.
Nail
Coffin
Final.

Vote for no chrome.
BTW, I think the tab is that the previous user talking about is the "Bookmarks Toolbar" where all the bookmarks shown on the tool bars, it's nice and convinience, but stills not worth to keep Chrome.

I use Chrome on all my devices for the sync abilities. While other browsers sync, they don't sync as comprehensively as Chrome. I also have 2 chromebooks, where it's the only option I have. Having said that, I can always install it like every other app I install.
Is there anything you tweak for the Chrome install?
The tab sync is that if you have a tab open on one device, you can go to another device and have it open the same tab - very useful when browsing on your phone and then deciding to switch to a larger screen, etc.

Thanks for clarifying. It's still in the next release but as a data app. Going forward it will then be saved and not disturbed.

chrome
I prefer chrome than stock.. I wouldn't mind downloading from the play store.

I prefer using Dolphin over Chrome, Chrome seems to have an issue downloading files Dolphin does it perfect every time because it has its own download app.
Asus Transformer Infinity running CleanRom 3.0.4

Personally, I don't use Chrome. Stock browser works well for me, especially with the tweaks.
I say the smaller the rom size the faster I can download and install it. Stay true to objective of a clean rom and let users add what they need from the Play Store.
I do use the Google apps and a few of the others. TB was giving me issues by not letting me use my upgraded key when installed from the rom so I had to skip it and download it from play store.

Yeah I've noticed that with tibu on the last few updates - I think it does a check. But I am leaving it in due to if you ever do a full wipe it's handy to be able to recover apps especially if you don't have internet available. It saved me a couple of times recently when in Japan.

It does check if the Pro license is legit -- you can sometimes (most of the times) keep it active when you select "Auto-... TiBu settings" or something along those lines from the Preferences. It should automatically carry over the license then, at least until you have an internet connection (that's when the first actual check is made). (I had to move the folder last time, so that no longer worked. That was a definite PITA.)
