[APP] Firefox 4 beta 1

Hey guys. Firefox 4 has finally released a beta 1 for android devices. For those who are curious before you try, I figured I would update this with a little information on Firefox for android and what you can expect from this beta. After all, its a huge install
-No flash support yet (yet)
-Pinch to zoom has been added (was left out in alpha builds)
-Swiping to the right on any page brings up your open tabs. This will display windows in a small thumbnail which you can close right from there. You can also start a new tab from this area.
-Swiping to the left on any page brings up a few options. The ability to bookmark, back and forward buttons, along with a settings icon to change settings.
-One big plus of firefox mobile that has been added is firefox sync. This allows you to login and sync your browser information with your Firefox browser on your PC.
-Set font. I thought I would mention this since seemed to have mixed reviews on it. There is a font set in the browser, aside from your current system font. Personally, I don't mind it. Its clear, so it works.
-Add-ons! If you're familiar with Firefox desktop then you're familiar with add-ons. Well Mozilla has brought add-ons to Firefox Mobile as well.
-Find in page / share page links easily accessible from hitting "menu" on any page
-Tapping on the address bar brings up bookmarks / history / desktop tap for easy access. This will keep the address bar highlighted in which you can simply search a keyword or enter a website. If you again press menu while this field is highlighted, Firefox will give you options of sites to search for your keywork. Google / wiki etc.
Keep in mind, this is still a BETA release. It has come a long way since the alpha builds, but doesn't seem quite ready for prime time just yet. Grab it and let us know what you think!
You can grab it here : http://bit.ly/9mBett

Downloading now...thanks. 40MB...ouch!

Apps 2 SD support is there...so don't worry about the pain it will pass. Won't use as default browser until performance refinements are made as well as user string options and flash support.

I have no issues with stock

Holy ****. The browser is slow ass hell. I'm using Fresh's latest.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

i could see it being good after A LOT OF WORK!!!!

look promising, i like the sync option. but it is slow .
using fresh and only fresh

I'm using AvaFroyo9 and the browser seems very smooth, in fact I'de use it as my default if it currently supported flash.
Update: After further testing, it appears to lag when typing in text fields. Also text boxes with drop down menus do not appear as they should.

I used the alpha for a week or so and it was absolute crap.
I downloaded this beta earlier today and it is absolutely the fastest browser I have used on Android (and I have used them all)! It renders perfectly and might become my new fav. I'm an avid Dolphin user, but this might make me switch.
Thus far the potential drawbacks include no flash and doesnt appear to close when you go to another program. (Don't know if that is a battery issue or not as I haven't had it long enough.)
In any case, I recommend checking it out.
Update: I'd still recommend playing around with this browser, but it definitely has a ways to go to catch up to Dolphin. Lots of odd little quirks, like struggles with Swype.

It's not ready for primetime, but it's on the right track imo.

not the fastest browser out there... it actually lags a lil bit more than stock or skyfire in cm6, but not by much, once it renders it is really smooth tho. Im a fan of firefox and i know that when they get to the final release it will probably be the best browser for android. especially with the sync and add-on features

I've tried it out, feels goo to see it there. But not for me lol. I'll look forward to future builds of it. Hope they'll get speed improvements in there.

Tried it and removed. Love FF, but until its more polished I'll stick with Dolphin HD.

Agreed. Stock browser for me. Quicker than anything I've tried. Keeping it around tho, since I'm a huge Firefox fan having the icon makes me giddy. Hahah much cooler than fennec

ADW Launcher EX v.1.1

ADWLauncher EX 1.1 released and ADWNotifier free for everyone
Hi everyone and happy new year!
I’ve released an small update for ADWLauncher EX with the following changes:
Added option to open the app drawer in full screen (hiding the dock/dockbar)
Added options to tweak the “fancy icon backgrounds” (now you can select a custom color and enable/disable glossy effect)
Fix the dock icons reverting sometimes on rotation
Fixed import/export ADW settings for Samsung devices running android 2.2.1 update
Lots of fixes for “ForceCloses” and other stability and code improvements.
And to celebrate the new year and the ADWLauncherEX success, I’ve published the ADWNotifier app free for everyone on the market!
Hope you enjoy!

amazing launcher

Thanks to you, my Launcherpro has been collecting some serious dust.........thank you x10 for the best launcher available!!!

Thanks for the update. This is by far my favorite launcher.one suggestion, is there any way to get the cube and book transition in next release. Keep up the good work.

Maybe I'll try out ADW Launcher EX now that ADWNotifier is free. I saw no reason paying for a "feature", which is standard with Launcher Pro.

loving the launcher
but .... still getting lots of fcs even after the update
sticking with it tho as its very pretty and very quick. As a non-developer not sure what I can do to help with testing/debugging

Can EX import settings from the free launcher yet?

Hey, I installed ADWLauncherEX form market. Now, I'm running into some problems:
The Launcher won't save any settings, I set. In fact, every time I exit the settings dialog, the changelog pops up again. Anyone know, what to do about that?

edit: found it, you have to use an app like root explorer and delete 2 directories located in dbdata/databases.I don't recall their exact name, but they both contained the string "adw" and were almost at the end of the list.

Thanks, that did the trick. Found only one folder cointaining the string "adw", but it worked nevertheless. If it weren't for these internet forums I'd have grey hairs by now.

no worries man..i found one aswell,but most of the people with the same problem wrote they found two..
Nevertheless it works like a charm so..

Launcher works great for me so gar on a Galaxy S. However, I noticed one annoying thing: Loading the shortcut list for applications takes an eternity (I have 300+ apps installed). The same thing goes for the dialog in ADWNotfier, where you can select the SMS oder Mail-App. This definitely needs some code improvement.

Hey, I downloaded the app yesterday and it still wont download to my phone I have the captivate and it just runs a bar saying authorizing i left it overnight and it still has that running so i canceled and redid it, still nothing it wont physically install whats wrong?

I love the speed of ADW EX.
Only significant complaint so far is that there's no direct access to System Preferences from the launcher menu. Shouldn't have to go into sub-menus to access the system prefs.
Question: Is there a way to get SMS/Gmail/Voicemail notifications in the dock?
Both LauncherPro+ and Go Launcher will attach such counts to the relevant icons, but I don't see this in ADWLauncher EX. In ADW Settings > General Preferences > System Preferences there's options for "Show notifications" and "Bubble font size", but I have no idea how these apply. I sent myself a SMS, and though my Notification bar was showing one message, there wasn't anything visible in the Launcher itself.
-edit-
OK. Got it working. Didn't realize I need to download ADW Notifier as well.
Would be nice if the notifiers were smart and only wiped the numbers after you actually read the email (for example) rather than as soon as you open Gmail though. That's how Go Launcher seems to work.

So far I'm liking this. I am having a problem, and I don't know if it's a feature or a bug. Every time I swipe down on any part of the screen the notification bar will come down. I switched back to Launcher Pro and it did not do this. Also when switching to the hidden dock it drags the icon form the normal dock. I would also like to see a way to change the dock backgrounds like on Launcher pro. And I'm with saltorio, It would be nice if there was a system prefs from the main menu. But I could get used to it where it is now. Keep up the good job.

You sir are a genius. Thank you so much. That was the problem. If I had more time I could have probably figured it out.

So is ADW ever going to get some widgets similar to LPP? Would live to give ADW a serious consideration but having to pay for other apps just to make up for ADWs shortcomings doesn't make sense.

[APP][2.2+] ssLauncher

I found this launcher and seems very nice with a different style and a lot of customization options:

News from the developer (04/02/2012):, geek21c

i'm preparing paid version, which will include a few features in the following list.
1. rich formatted text for shortcut. (currently date only)
- notifications for missed calls & sms as a formated text like date.
- system variables: status of battery, memory, storage etc.
2. enable to set background image to each page. (this will be saved as page settings not theme or preferences.)
3. copy and paste shortcuts.
4. enable to rotate shortcuts. (it will take a long time to implement.)
5. grid type of application group page.
6. more styles of item in each built-in pages, app drawer, app group, contacts and bookmarks.
7. support folder in app drawer.
8. top secret feature.
Of course, it will be ad free. Some of features added to paid version will be applied to the free version with approximately monthly intervals.
Thank you.

Looks gud......I will give it a try...

I found it on the market too and installed a while ago. One of the things i miss are folders, i have too many apps to have them on one page.

Really love this launcher. Its really lightweight, yet it still looks amazing.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

The good thing about this launcher is that it is VERY flexible in terms of layout. You can even use something like AltDrawer and get rid of the applications page altogether. Also, each page scrolls vertically as well, so you can have a full WP7 style homescreen. No need for Desktop Visualiser. Oh and I love the contacts page!
The only downside to it is that it lags a little/jerky movement on my Note. I used it for a full week.

One thing it is missing is the use of scrollable widgets....
Also, when I set the page I want to be the default page and go to another page, hitting the home button does not change the page back...Has anyone had any luck with that?

This is the one I've been waiting for. Simple yet highly flexible in positioning widgets and internal components. No need for text widgets, alternative drawer.
I am excited to know what kind of Monster this thing will be, soon!
I think this launcher will kill Mr GO any time soon.

Try ccLauncher ics version.
HTC Sense 3.5, Android 2.3.5

This launcher keeps "separate" versions for portrait and landscape widgets dispositions.
MASTERPIECE.
Every launcher should offer this !

This is an amazing launcher. Wish I could hide the status bar but none the less it is unique and fresh! Two thumbs up.

very cool
different from other launcher
but need more customization

Have you guys tried to add or edit a page after adding everything to your pages. I get forcecloses and cannot edit any pages after a little bit. Don't see any way around this unless I totally clear all my data and then it works initially but will close again once I start adding things, it will not let me add/delete/edit a page...

Love this launcher! Please consider an add free version (hopefully the author looks here). I'll be glad to pay a few dollars to support it. I had one experience of losing everything on my Cover page while making modifications, but it only happened once. Nice work.

Great launcher! Not like any of the normal ones. Perfect for a 7" tablet.

Any screenshots of the app drawer?

is there a way to use it on SGY??

I've just discovered this nice piece of software a few days ago.
Best launcher I ever had. So great to customize and fast.
I only find the transitions between pages a little bit choppy, would love to see a nice blend in/blend out effect.
And maybe the possibility to use more system variables as shortcut text, besides the date and time. I'm thinking battery, memory, CPU.
Using it on an Optimus 3D with CM7 nightly, runs great.

[APP][3.0+] Notes for ICS 3.0

Notes / Task app for Honeycomb and above (support for Froyo will come) styled with the HoloTheme. Created the app because there were so few Holo-themed apps out there. Especially ones that also offered tablet support. The idea is that the app should blend in and look like it could have been made by Google.
Features
Phone and Tablet UI
Ice Cream Sandwich style
Synchronization with Google Tasks
Search among your entire notes, not just titles
Change font type and size
User configurable theme
User configurable sort order
English, German and Swedish language support
Will implement resizeable widget soon. Support has been added for AndroidAgendaWidget meanwhile; just waiting on them to release their supported version as well.

- task deletions in the app aren't synced to google tasks
- can't mark tasks as done in the app

Can add that as a future feature. What it does now is that is always auto-selects the list that was modified the latest. So if you edited a note, the list that note lives in will be the one that is selected on next restart. So your most commonly used list will be the most commonly opened

its works good for me

Thanks for sharing!

There's an issue on some devices which causes a null pointer exception and crash.
By chance, I tried to install my app on a Galaxy Tab in a store today and the app crashed right on start with that exact error.
I can't replicate the problem in the emulator running 3.2, so it's not a problem with Honeycomb. But it could be a problem with Samsung's modified stuff. No one here has a galaxy tab running samsung stock by any chance?

Feature request: Gnotes has a very nice feature where it "converts" (it's just a display thing really, interpreting a certain char as trigger) lists into checklists. Very nice for shopping lists and the like. (Not that important though as I'll have to keep Gnotes for some of its features anyway).
Did I mention reminders yet? That's a major missing feature imho.

You could make a shopping list by making one note for every item you wish to buy, and then you could check them off in the notes/tasks list. Does Gnotes do it any different?
Notifications are in the pipeline now that I've got the syncing working properly

1 task per item is a kinda ugly workaround. Gnotes converts a whole note into a checklist. It's a free app so easy to check it out. BUt as said, not thar important as I'll be keeping Gnotes anyway.

Great Apps
Really nice apps. Thanks alot!

Another feature suggestion:
Swipe left and right to jump between lists
And big thanks for your work on this app

Great replacement apps

I created this thread not only to help those who have root, but to also help those who choose not to root their phones
the first app replaces the Dialer, It's called "Osmino: contact manager"
the second app is very well know amoung the community, called "Chomp SMS", which combined with Osmino makes an elegant duo.
Third, is "WinAmp Free", great music player with an eye catching interface, supports multiple formats
fourth is "Dolphin Browser" because it supports flash by default, which is great since Adobe discontinued Official Android Platform.
fifth: If you're someone who is constantly switching roms, and experience troubles with APN, then download "Offline APN Database" you can browse through by worldwide APN's list, and the app will automatically fill in your APN for you.
Sixth: "Smart Launcher" because of it's Ultralow Memory footprint, and it's ability to theme itself based on 1000+ theme packs, compatible themes:ADW,GO,APEX,NOVA,etc.

good post man. I think im going to check out dolphin browser as I've heard way too many good things about it by now lol

I've started using this really nifty app called Swapps, basically what the app does is you swipe the side of your screen(Similar to swipe pad) except, it's kind of like the blackberry Z10, it lists all your apps and has beautiful animations to tie it all together.
As for dolphin browser, I like all the add-ons, supports flash, and my favorite feature, you're able to choose your destination folder for your downloads, which not many mobile browsers do. I can download ZIPS straight to my root directory off the phone :cyclops:
