Froyo, crappy browser?

Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing a more laggy browser after upgrading to froyo. My phone is rooted but I upgraded before through Kies and im with rogers if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance

Go to Dolphin Mini and you will have no complaints!

Both Dolphin Mini and Miren browser are really light and fast. Personally, I've been leaning towards Miren.

The slowness of the browser comes from the fact that it supports and does playback flash content. If you disable flash plugin from the browser or change it to on-demand, you will see the browser loads and responds must faster.
And Steve Jobs is right, Adobe Flash is a a piece of garbage.

Yes, but it's a piece of garbage we all want access to.

Other than constant popup of ads, I've yet to see any value of it. But I digress.

Adfree + on demand flash will change your life.

Ive looked for Flash settings to change it to on demand, but where are the settings?
I like Flash because I was with iOS emailing url's to myself to check out later on desktop, but I have been going to desktop less and less as my phone becomes more and more powerful. Pretty soon all I will need it for is office and NAS use.

You won't find flash settings. It is a generic setting called 'Plug-in setting'.

Flash is available in Dolphin HD on demand. I've only used Dolphin HD; I don't know if it can be done in mini or the stock browser.

Thanks for all the input guys, i have a quick questions what's the difference between dolphin mini and dolphin hd? And ive set my plugin setting to on demand on the deafult browser and also have adfree, but it still seems at times the browser is considerbly more laggy then the browser before froyo. Btw dolphin mini is very good thanks for the suggestion.

Opera browser 11

This is by far the fastest browser I have ever seen, it also has flash support and if you want to increase the speed of the browser just go to the browsers settings and select opera turbo, in which the webpages load at a drasticly fast pace. I highly recommend this browser.

Just downloaded it and it seems really fast, even with only 2 bars of 3G. Gonna test it out with 4G tomorrow and see how fast it really is.

Do you know how to make it full screen without the notification bar?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

I believe to make it fullscreen, you have to go to the browsers settings and click navigation bar to off. That should make it fullscreen and remember if you want powerful speeds, just turn on opera turbo in the settings.

It really is an improvement over the previous version, and it really flies.
There are some annoyances though. YT app is not loaded automatically after clicking on a YT link, Flash 10.2 crashes the browser, the auto complete in the address bar is unbelievably annoying. It also needs an easier way to change the User Agent.
Hope they can fix that in the future.

No flash support=fail

Wildfire must be pretty slow or something, as it's super fast on my Nook Color and my Nexus One.

So I stumbled upon this, originally for the Evo (I think), but everything works well!
Its so much better than the ones on ROMs right now and the stock one (a little) ,IMO.
Anyways if you want it, here it is:

Just tried it out. Definitely looks cooler than the HTC gallery app.

Looks alot like the gallery that comes with CM7.0.3

Because it's the stock AOSP gallery app

No, only do that for .zip files. For this, it is a .apk file which is a "Application" just put it on your sd card(Preferably the root of the sd card,It is easier to find) and then disconnect your device from your pc and then using "Easy Installer" click on it and install. If you use "Easy Installer". If you want to install it using "ASTRO File Manager" just click on the file and hit "Open App Manager" and then the "Install" button in the upper-left part of the screen.
Let me know if you need anymore help.

Great looking gallery app, Thanks for the post!

If you find a new version of the market floating around online, I wouldn't trust it. I would wait for an official update. Just think about what someone could do if there was a virus in the android market! It could probably read your credit card information since AFAIK it is kept in there when you enter it.

Thanks for the upload Working fine on my x10i . The 3.1.5 market I think is a bit faster loading even with the additional movie content than 3.1.3 that's just from what I've seen.

I just got the update pushed to my phone and its a wee bit faster than 3.1.3 google needs optimize it abit more for my liking

Is the search faster? The search is extremely slow in most cases and in some cases it doesn't work at all unless you change the search terms or wait.

It looking alright downloading now.

Well, I guess all I need to do is wait for my replacement Evo 3D now.

Thanks work great in my device

It's definitely faster than the previous version, but still lags quite a bit. I also noticed the main screen is different than the previous version, at least for us Canadians. We finally have the option of renting movies.

Working fine on my Sensation.

What the Facebook App would look like with the Holo Theme

Hi,
I wasn't very satisfied with the look of the original Facebook app for Android: mostly because it still doesn't follow the design guidelines of Android 4, even though ICS is already over a year old. So I decided to redesign the facebook app by myself and want now to share my results with you. You can find them in the attachments section (2 Versions, i couldn't decide with is better). Tell me what you think about it, I hope you like it
If you want this pictures in a higher quality or in the .xcf format let me know.
Download Link: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7Xo_jDGP2MvYUxaVGpMRkR0ME0

actually ICS is not a year old yet. It was introduced in October 2011, and the Galaxy Nexus released in November 2011. Also I don't think it looks to good.

Interesting concept, I think I'd prefer an app similar to google+

Looks really good, man. I'm a huge fan of the minimal look. Any chance you could throw up a dl link in the open? I'm on the xda app right now but I'd love to try it out.

I'm not sure if you got this but it's just a design concept, not an Facebook app, but yeah I can upload the gimp and the high resolution version .
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Sorry , my fault. Is there a possibility to put the Holotheme into the official Facebook App?
Sent from my LG-P700 using xda premium

I'm sure it's possible but you need a some serious skills if you want to change the complete layout of an app and unfortunately I'm not able to do it. But you could ask a developer if he could develop such app
P.S.: Download Links for High-Res Concept Images + gimp-Files will be up soon.
EDIT: Done. See first Post for files.

I found this thread via Google... I have designed (NOT written) a HOLO-themed Facebook app myself. It's just a concept, although if someone is interested in making this app I wouldn't mind him contact me
I'm sorry for the large image, but it's the only way one can see all the details (and I wouldn't know how to make a thumbnail... not at 1:42am anyways).

Now, that's what I call a awesome concept. If they did the app like that, I'd use it a lot more than I currently use.

Thank you! I find that myself, too. The current Facebook-app doesn't match the ICS / JB HOLO theme and isn't that quick either. It really decreases the quality of the user experience.
However, since I don't have any knowledge of building apps whatsoever, I am afraid it'll just remain a concept - unless or until some developer wants to help me, that is.

Very nice concept!
Yeah, if somebody out there would develop, it will be very polished and neat. Goes along well with ICS, JB and above I believe .

Fast for Facebook
