Hey guys - I know this has been asked before, but I've been unable to find a decent answer:
Is there any Lynx-like browser for Android? I don't mind if it runs in the terminal or whatever, but I reckon it would do my limited data quota a massive favour.

why don't you just disable the downloading of images?

Have you tried Opera Mini? If you are worried about your data usage, I think you'll love its server-side compression technology. Well, depending in what are your feelings about your browsing privacy.
I know I can disable images, and yes, I tried a couple of browsers with server-side compression, but I was really hoping for the plain simplicity of a Lynx-like app. Thanks for the replies so far!

The other thing you might consider is RSS. I read a lot of websites like this. Most major news websites now support RSS. Good luck. Lynx is hard to read and manage as it was designed for an earlier implementation of the web.
I wonder if it isn't easy to do since 1) it's all open source and 2) it should be a textbook JNI port...

There are some instructions here, in chinese. If anyone does get a working binary, let us know;

Update: I followed the instructions, and it works. Here are the results:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16050683
I read through the instructions... Very nice and detailed directions there! However, they're not even using the NDK, they're compiling an ARM executable for Lynx (so if we go that route, the result would be a binary that has to be run from terminal emulator).
Food for thought...
Binary compiled successfully!
Done it!
I just followed the instruction from the chinese professor, and it works fine for me. I have created a tread for it at:

The zip file is there, along with the instructions. Enjoy!

TextOnly browser for android which displays only content from the article by stripping ads,scripts and images

There was something i used to do when i was browsing using an old Nokia dumbphone that might help.
Type the following into your address bar:
http://www.google.com/xhtml
Now search for the site you want to visit, i.e xda-developers, and click on the link. You should now be seeing it in a low data format. It's not pretty but it works pretty well on a mobile browser.
If you want you can then bookmark the site as it is, so that it will still have that formatting when you return to it next. Obviously, for every site you want to visit you have to go through the above, but if you also bookmark the xhtml version of google you can always start your browsing session from there and just bookmark all your reformatted favourites as you go.
For that mobile view you can just use the "mobile view (GWT)" option in Dolphin Browser HD

Little Web Browser is pretty similar to Lynx. Free, but a HUGE fee if you want to get rid of the ads.
It is amazing how you'll always have at least one idiot in almost every forum who has no clue to what the correct answer might be but instead of shutting his ugly mug he tries to be a smart-ass and suggest a retarded "solution" that the OP had already discarded even before he asked. "Eh, why don't you disable images on Opera? (monkey squeaks)" ... well no ****tard, that's not a solution not even a proper answer to the question.
I have tried quite a bit of NZB Usenet applications for Android and have not been able to get them to work. I have followed a few tutorials and yet no luck.
Currently using NZBMonster (like the look)

Would like to get some expert help with setting this up, I must be doing something wrong somewhere along the way. HELP!
Using the latest Sabnzbd on Windows 7. Not sure if it matters in setting these apps up but running Android 2.3.4 with the FI Gingerbread V3 ROM.
I think I have tried every NZB app on Android now. Still no luck.
BUMP? Anyone....help please!
Try nzbair. It has an easy setup via an online template and has always worked for me

Well that tutorial for that app would be nice if they second step didn't tell me to input a static IP. I can't get one of those, nor do I want one. I have done many other app setups that needs to use my network and access my system and didn't need to do it.
Any other ideas. I do thank you for the idea though

Hi there mates,
I remember once stumbling upon a desktop client that would connect to your android phone and let you from there uninstall apps and do some other things, the problem is I cant recall its name, all I can remember is I either saw and download it from Techspot or Lifehacker but now I am unable to find it.
By any chance someone else knows what I'm talking about?
Could it be your adb or your sdk

Yes these things can be done via command line with the adb but I'm sure a quick Google would find a GUI
