[Q] Update to CM5 as promised but nothing??

here is a post Cyanogen did back in June 30th of 2010
It’s been just under a week since Google released Froyo (Android 2.2) into the open-source world and we’ve made great progress on CyanogenMod-6 already. Approximately 20 of us on the CM team are working hard on merging all of the community-developed extras in, as well as porting to new devices. Google did a great job and really gave us the best foundation to start from this time around.
Here’s where we stand so far.. Most of the CyanogenMod extras have been merged. Some features are being reworked (like trackball settings), new device ports are well underway. The first devices to see CM6 experimental releases will most likely be the Nexus One and Droid simply because those are the devices that “just work”. The Dream/Sapphire port has everything working but one small issue remains. Wes Garner has the Slide port well underway. I don’t have a status report of the Desire, Incredible, and Evo versions at this time.
I’m expecting that we should have some experimental releases by the weekend, but please don’t spam us asking for ETAs.. We are just as excited to get this out as you are

Regarding updates to CM5.. A small update will be coming this weekend to fix a few bugs but the focus will remain on CM6!
Thanks to everyone who has been supporting us with testing, bugfixing, code, new features, and of course donations. CM is what it is because of the community. Thank you!
just curious for us not using froyo will there be an update to CM5??..

10char....

Bamp?
10char? anybody what to discuss the promise he made??

This is really not good that he promised something and then didn't fullfil this promise, but honestly... CM6 is so much better than CM5.08, personally I am not even thinking on trying 2.1 ROMs, I really don't understand why to bother with older software if newer gives you not only new features and same if not better speed and stability.

There is no point. Same reason why we don't see any progress on donut roms. They're old. 2.2 runs one hell of a lot better than any 2.1 roms did. Give up on CM 5 and come to the now.

I regret moving away from Donut (CM4.x). For me CM6 works worse than CM5 and CM 5 works worse than CM4. The only reason I am staying with CM6 is the hope that 6.1 will improve the situation. The main issue is the lack of memory and what follows as consequence (can't view big websites, can't take photos, apps close themselves due to lack of RAM, push mail does not work, etc.)
These problems are not always occuring, but they occur most of the time, especially if the last reboot is more than 2 or 3 hours in the past. I recommend waiting for CM6.1 and then reassess whether it is viable to switch.

This is a punishment for lack of exploring. I've been using 2.2 ROMs now for a while and aren't having any of the issues you're having. Did you mess with any of the cm settings? What about the adw launcher settings? All of these play a part in the functionality of the ROM. Some advice:
Under CM Settings > Performance Settings:
Code:
Use Compcache @ 25%
Disable JIT
Disable Surface dithering
Make sure Lock Home in Memory is checked
VM Heap Size 32m
For ADW Launcher:
Screen Preferences:
Code:
Make sure you are only using 3. This helps with the slowness
System Preferences:
Code:
Disable Scrollable Widget Support
Check System Persist
UI Settings:
Code:
Uncheck Desktop Dots
Uncheck Secondary ActionButtons
Uncheck desktop Indicator
With these settings, I have no problems running any 2.2 rom on my G1. Also, I have widgets on each of my screens.

when you press anything in setting or any app.. does it load instantly?
or is there a second or 2 lag? i strip my donut roms completly remove everything google including market, and i have 35.43 mb free on my data partition. its stupidfast. but csdi is the fastest @ that setting.
most of the time when i end apps with task killer i have 55 mb free.
so i can load it up with widgets if needed.
what im trying to say i have achieved that speed with froyo but only if my cpu is clocked @ 650+ all the time and super stripped. gah i rambled.. i hope you understand what im tying 2 say.

Dolphin Browser HD v5.0 is released to Market. Guys

HI, Dolphin Browser HD v5.0 has released finally to the Android market. I have been waiting for such a long time, although that I have used their 4 betas.
I can notice that they have made much progress in the UI, settings and the performance (fix many bugs).
First, I like the smooth tab bar. It’s better to let the tab bar stay on top and hide the address. But it’s ok now. If themes are installed, the bar color are changed. That’s great for me.
Second, they have done much work on the Quick menu. Bookmarks, history, settings, add-ons, themes and gesture are included in the Quick menu. The background color has kind of texture.
Last but not least, I can successfully browser most websites without FC or hanging. It means that their performance has been much improved. It almost closes to perfect.
So download it, I’m sure you wouldn’t regret. LOL.

Been using the betas and now the final myself.
Bravo Dolphin, great work.
I don't browse the web that much on my phone but from my experiences so far with betas, this is the best browser out there at the moment.

not as fast as th trusted opera mini, and it's ability to sync bookmarks with any phone I use. I know on opera mini the speed compromises the quality, but opera is way faster than any other browser in my opinion.

I loved Opera for its speed and usability, however I never liked how it handled flash content, or the fact that it doesn't.
Not always having the default web site was a negative for me as well.

I switch between Opera, Opera Mini, Dolphin and Dolphin mini all the time. Just can't make up my mind.
I am liking HD 5.0 though.

Sweet gonna go try this browser

The biggest change is there is no google inserted Ads any more,
There is no need to buy Dolphin license to block Ads.

Well, This browser is really better then the ones that comes normally with android?
And if yes, what special does it have?

[App] UC Browser 7.9 Released - More Awesomwness

UC Browser, facing tough competition from Opera Mini, Bolt and perhaps many other browsers, is no doubt constantly improving and taking steps forward to a better browsing on mobiles. It has evolved from just a crap browser with a great download manager to an excellent browser. Perhaps UC Browser is the most feature rich mobile browser till date. While some may argue it lacks javascript support, Opera Mini also don't. And it is not possible to provide javascript on low end phones. On high end phones like Android, it supports javascript though. I must say it provides much smoother mobile browsing experience that you can enjoy on the go always.

UC Browser 7.9 - Smooth your browsing
Each release of UC Browser always earns a lot of amzing things. Now with the 7.9 for Java/Symbian, UC is concentrating itself to solve the main problems of users and improve user experience palways. I think that’s why UC Browser already has 200 million users around the world and keeps attracting new users every day. Let’s experience the new 7.9 release by ourselves.
Taking care of your eyes- Auto Notification between night mode and day mode
UC Browser is more than a browser, taking care of your eyes. It notices u to switch ‘Day mode’ and’ Night mode’ intelligently according to the time. Everything UC has done is for taking care of users.
Browsing whenever and wherever - More powerful bookmark management
Plenty of people are anxious about the missing of their bookmark they’ve collected for a long time. Now the bookmark backup feature comes to rescue. Now you can save them to your memory card and never miss them again.
Filling the Laguage gap
Users of UC Browser are still increasing and covered 145 countries, 200 million. UC Browser tries its best to take care each users with different languages.
Language pack for Java, You can select language during installation.
More than English and Russian, Arabic, Farsi and Urdu are also supported. In the near future, more number of languages will be supported.
More changes and bug fixes
Fixed access connection timeout error : Fixed timeout problem during webpage browsing.
Fixed image loading failure: Fixed timeout error in loading image.
Optimized Cache management: Cache will be adjusted automatically. You don’t need to reset and clear Cache manually anymore.
Make your eyes more colorful: More Picture formats are supported. The new WebP image is near 40% smaller than jpeg image of similar quality.
That’s what UC Browser 7.9 for Symbian /Java brings to us. Let’s look forward to more

I'm in.....worth a shot at least.

I've always liked this browser. Even when it was buggy as hell back in my Windows Mobile days it still was great for downloads. I'll give this new version a shot. Thanks!
Edit: It seems the Android Market still lists version as 7.8, which I already have installed.

Haha, you made me laughing. This is now the fourth time I try FF mobile, and the user experience still does not improve.
I installed Firefox from Play Store, cleared the RAM (170MB free) and after starting, the first thing the app did was crashing. I opened the settings and wanted to look for an user agent setting but I found out that there is none. When closing the settings Firefox crashed. After a restart of the app I opened three tabs with this websites: chip.de (PC layout), xda-developers.com (homepage), google.de. Before doing that I looked for the memory usage: Firefox needed 54MB. After the loading process Firefox with 3 tabs took 81MB away! Also the font sizes on Chip.de were wrong.
Then I cleared the RAM just as I did before opening Firefox. In Opera Mobile (desktop user agent) I opened the 3 tabs and 2 additional ones: AndroidPIT and Facebook. With all these 5 tabs Opera Mobile uses only 52MB of RAM.
When loading and opening the pages (I sit right next to the WLAN router) Firefox needed much more time than Opera Mobile. Also the user interface of Firefox is not as smooth as in Opera Mobile.
I know that Firefox has addon support and on a tablet or a powerful phone with more RAM it may be no problem, but on our phone and that's what I am talking about, browsing with Firefox is simply no fun. Its unstable, slow and ressource hungry on RAM and CPU (= stuttering)
On my XPS 15 I use Firefox Auroa 14 and I like it very much because I is very customizable eventhough it is not as fast as Google Chrome, but here the difference is not really big. Furthermore DownThemAll! is only available on FF.
The biggest amount of RAM FF used on my PC was 400-500 MB (normal usage 100-200 MB) but this does not matter, because with 4x2,8 GHz and 8GB RAM you do not feel this and it is nothing compared to the amount of free RAM. Pages load fast, scrolling is smooth, etc...
You do not have these things on a phone and everytime I tried Firefox it only felt like a port of the original programm without being really optimized for the usage and the limitations of phones.
But hey: I've got a life, I'm not stupid, I'm not angry and I've only said what I feel when using Firefox... I'm tired of all thes typical "What's the best browser" wars all around the web.
Have a nice day

Lol! Guys i 'm just sharing an app i ve tried. i 'm on our poor device not any tab and it's working very well.
Btw that is not firefox on google market. I found that build greatly improved. if u want to have a try or you dont. so it is up to you i m not firefox developer

[APP] SWE Browser [A Fast Browser for Snapdragon Chips]

I originally posted this for the oneplus one, but theoretically it should benefit any device using the snapdragon processor and maybe other processors too?
The code is found here:
https://www.codeaurora.org/xwiki/bin/Chromium+for+Snapdragon/WebHome
If you try to build it takes a long time to get the code so be patient.
Basically this is an optimized browser made for the snapdragon processor. I have been running it for a few weeks and it is pretty solid. Really fast. I did some benchmarks vs firefox and chrome and it is between 10% - 30% faster. It just seems snappier than other browsers (Chrome and Firefox). If any one can benchmark it against other browsers I would appreciate if you could post the results.
Here are images of the benchmarks.

Here is a screenshot of the browser

It asks for a bunch of permissions, but I am not sure which ones are actually necessary so I left it as is.
Also if you have an older version of the SWE browser you will have to uninstall it since I signed it with a different key.
Here is link to the download:
Play Store Link
I have put an updated version of swe browser on the play store. I have been using this for the last 3 weeks. I modified it slightly from the qualcomm version since the qualcomm version tries to launch apps from google search.
This is the m42 version with the AD blocking.
This is probably the best browser out there in my opinion.

It looks and feels like aosp browser and it's pretty good, if only it had account sync and quick controls like the aosp it'd be just perfect.

SS not working

Oh i'm so excited to try this! A while back I read about this and have always wanted to try it. The problem is no one was actively building it and I didn't want to try building it myself. Thanks for taking the time to build it.

Fc on galaxy note 4 running kitkat 4.4

This works amazingly good on my note 2 stock 4.4.2, will you be able to put in features like closing all browser tabs at once?

Any mirror? I can't get over 15kb/s download

Is the size of your browser justified ? Cause many other are smaller except chrome ....

@magic_man
Hello, I've been trying to compile m46 for a few days now and i'm too running into problems.
The main problem I've been facing is when im trying to run gclient sync.
It says that the URL in the gclient is different that the one in the local checkout (~./src).
The first one is git://codeaurora.org/quic/chrome4sdp/chromium/[email protected]/remotes/origin/m46
While the second is git://codeaurora.org/quic/chrome4sdp/chromium/src
Any ideas?

I would just try deleting it and trying again. Can you post your .gclient file?

The download link does not work anymore.

It's the one from here:
https://www.codeaurora.org/xwiki/bin/Chromium+for+Snapdragon/m42_build_instructions but instead of m42 it's m46. Anyway I think i found out the solution to that. It's because i have first used:
git clone git://codeaurora.org/quic/chrome4sdp/chromium/src and then ran gclient sync.
Anyways, as the instructions on the code aurora wiki are not very clear can you please tell me the exact steps to build m46?

I've been trying to build m46 for the past week and I have yet to build it. Last week I was able to build m42, so I don't know what's happening now. When I try syncing it'll all go fine until it tries to sync libjingle and then it'll throw an error at me.

I don't entirely know what's wrong, is it something with their DEPS file? I noticed libjingle was moved to webrtc, and the real commit can be found here.
So, anybody know what to do?

I resolved all my previous problems and i've been facing the same issue too. Does anyone know how to solve it?
