[Q] ThunderRom - General Questions and Answers

I just tried this rom and it is awesome. Everything seems to be running great except I am having trouble with some websites. Some sites automatically kill and revert back to my homepage. Is anyone else experiencing this? Only seems to happen on the stock browser. Dolphin worked fine but i prefer stock. I love everything about this rom and hate to change back. Thanks for any help.

You have to change your browser. Seems your stock isn't support the website which you mentioned.

Please help 2.2 update

So I just updated to 2.2 using the leaked Froyo non root method with my At&t Samsung captivate. Everything seems to work fine but my downloading speed is terribly slow in the marketplace, my youtubing and websurfing speed is still fast though. Anyone know what's up with this?
A lot of market related issues can be fixed by going in to:
Menu - Settings - Manage Applications - All
then scroll down to Market, select it, then clear cache/data.
i tried that but there wasn't any data/cache to clear it was just 0.0kb....I tried rebooting and I went back to 2.1 and the dling speed works fine. I then rooted and flashed di11i's 6.0 and everything worked but once again dling from android marketplace was super slow while web browsing, youtubing, etc. was fast....
I have noticed that with some of the roms the market does not adjust correctly the first few times you access it. I went to Cognition 3.04 and at first it took forever to load, now it works fine after a week or so.
a week huh? Hmm maybe I'll just give it time....I am liking the di11i's 6.0 with blue theme very much =P

Do you have a generic Android ID? Some of the roms change your ID to the same everyone else has. Market throttles because it looks like 1000 downloads are all going to the same phone. Try Android ID Changer, if you have your original, and change it back. Or just change a few characters so your not on the same ID.
how would i find my Android ID? And how would I change it?

It will tell you your current ID and let you change.
Yeas I wish I had known about this android ID before flashing, I'm currently using the Odin 1.0 flashed 2.1.1's android ID, so just any characters and it'll be fine?

[Q] Browser crashes on youtube videos. What should I do?

The xoom browser has started crashing on youtube videos lately. At first it won't display the video at all and all it shows is a grey screen. When I put the video in fullscreen mode, it starts for a moment but shortly after that the browser crashes. At the same time the youtube application displays all videos and flash content properly. I tried to reinstall the flash player but it didn't solve the problem. What else can I do to fix the issue?
Id try clearing your browser cache. (not the history, but the cache in the manage applications in settings. the stock browser has its hiccups, but is pretty stable for me. it my main browser i use.
Didn't work, any other suggestions? Actually the issue occurs on YouTube only, when I open another flash video website the videos run normally.
your running youtube thru the browser? why?
That ain't the question. I just want to view YouTube normally in the browser.
ICS or HC?
what browser you on?
using latest version of flash?
is your flash hulu-optimized?
are you using a adblocker?
Are you on youtube full site or mobile?
what kernel are you using?
possible resolutions:
uninstall flashplayer
clear data/cache of browser
reboot
install flash player
try browser again
or
set your plugin settings in browser to 'on demand' and see if that works
or
use browser+ if on ICS
use another browser if on HC
if none of this works do a nandroid backup/wipe and start over and see if the problem subsides.
if its resolved start re installing other apps.
if not, you've got a rom/kernel problem, nandroid restore back to where you were and begin more troubleshooting. or find another rom/kernel to try.
i'm on stock ICS and i don't have this issue. my browser sometimes disappears off the screen, but remains in my current apps menu and when reopened it restores where i was and all the tabs, so its no big deal.
ICS or HC? - HC
what browser you on? - Stock
using latest version of flash? - Yes, updated it yesterday.
is your flash hulu-optimized? - No idea what this means.
are you using a adblocker? - No.
Are you on youtube full site or mobile? - Mobile
what kernel are you using? - No idea, everything is pure stock.
uninstall flashplayer
clear data/cache of browser -
reboot
install flash player
try browser again
- Already did, didn't work.
set your plugin settings in browser to 'on demand' and see if that works - Didn't work.
use browser+ if on ICS - I'm still on HC.
use another browser if on HC - Don't want, the stock browsers is the best for my needs.
if none of this works do a nandroid backup/wipe and start over and see if the problem subsides. I'm too unexperienced to do that.
-------
I also noticed something else. If the browser doesn't crash, when I press the Play button several times the videos plays normally, but in the beggining there is always that grey screen with the "play" icon inside it.
well first of all you need to upgrade to ICS, just sayin.
ive never ran HC cuz i got my xoom after the ICS update dropped. So im not sure if its a HC issue or a flash issue. but try these:
the grey screen insinuates the plugin isn't loading properly.
try obtaining a older flash version. try the hulu optimized one in the hulu xoom thread on here. or just google a older flash apk
try loading the desktop version of the site.
does flash plugin app have a cache you can clear?
load another browser just for the hell of it to see if its persistent no matter the browser. least we can narrow down where the issue is. flash or the browser.
i love the stock browser too, but u may need another to access certain sites.
or dare i say it....the use actual APP...
any other apps you may have installed that affect the browser? you should look into rooting and backing up your apps w/ titanium backup to your sd card and wiping your system and starting fresh. small issues like this are hard to fix.
Thanks for your efforts and help but now it seems the problem has disappeared from itself somehow. Everything is running fine now.

[Q] known flash issues or support? (Ics)

Just upgraded to ics last night from stock rooted gb though kies. Have not rerooted yet.
The first thing i noticed was i lost flash player support on a streaming page i go to a lot. So i updated the Adobe flash and it loaded up in the webpage but after a few seconds of skipping sound and video it freezes.
I've tried another browser chrome which didn't load. Made sure it wasn't internet connection speed by using both wifi and LTE.
Anyone know if there's anything to try or a fix? I know adobe stopped supporting it or something so maybe it's not compatible with newer android firmware?

I know that adobe support for flash on chrome will no longer work at all and android support in general is over. but i've heard that guys are still able to load their tibu backups of flash and get them to work in dolphin, so maybe try that. i don't have any flash problems yet, but im running skyics by seanz
Wow i just tried dolphin and it worked smooth as butter! Thanks! Guess the browser just sux lol.
Side question though, I've never flashed roms, only rooted phones and i read about people flashing so often. Do your apps or settings etc. Transfer over or do you start fresh every time and have to set it all up?
I am thinking one day i might try that but if i don't like it i don't wanna go back and have to have a complete do over.

Usually you have to do a full wipe, which means losing all your apps. But, it shouldn't matter if you have Titanium back up. And most launchers have back up settings, so there wouldn't be too many things you would have to re-setup. Just remember your Gmail pw( which none of my friends do when I help them flash a rom >.<)

[Q] Web browser.

Hi all folks.
I am wondering which web browser you are on.
And the point if you have adobe flash fully supported.

Running stock (which comes with cm10.1) and boat browser. Both are great, I just like to have a backup if some pages won't work properly. Everything flash related works just fine on both, boat maybe a tad better - I installed the latest ICS flash player *.apk, it's somewhere here on XDA - I could upload mine if you don't find it.
Thanks for pointing me in right direction.
Just have flash apk and found it somewhere on xda.
Now i am using stock rom on T-mobile software, which I am very happy.
Sometimes testing Opera 15 beta, but since doesnt support flash sites, wondering if to remove it.
Before I tried chrome (after using a while it was over 90 MB!!!) but was not fast enough.
So any other web browsers you have?

G2 stock browser supports Adobe Flash Player

The G2 (AT&T) stock Browser supports Adobe Flash Player. Just go to Adobe's Archived Flash Player versions and download the latest version under Android 4.0. It didn't work on the Galaxy S4 4.2.2 stock browser so I thought it was worth mentioning.
Remember this works only on the stock Browser. It does NOT work in Chrome. Chrome does NOT support Flash!
And make sure that the option Enable plug-ins is set to Always on in the Browser Settings.
Very nice. I'm jealous. The Verizon version only has Chrome, no stock browser.

Verizon and their stuff....
I love Chrome but sometimes I just NEED to see websites that include Flash content and its awesome to have the option to see them if needed.
If you're on Verizon you can still get the AOSP Browser and add Flash. I just did it, but I'm rooted and I don't know if it would work on non-rooted phones or not.
Install the [ROOT]AOSP Browser Installer from the Play Store. Ignore the warnings and have it install the AOSP Browser. Then go into your App maager and remove [ROOT]AOSP Browser Installer just to clean things up. You'll now have the stock browser that works fine.
Then just follow the instructions in the OP to install Flash. Works great.

On my Verzion G2 there is no LG browser... just Chrome (which won't use Flash). Other versions of the G2 use the AOSP browser. You can have multiple browsers on the same device... no problem.

Does Capture Plus work with this browser?
Also, I've been using Dolphin Browser and it seems to support all my flash needs as well give it a try.
Does International version support flash?
Another workaround (Works on Verizon)
I also have got this to work with Dolphin Browser on my LG G2 Verizon flavor.
Doet the aosp browser from the play store have the PIE controls you can swipe in from the left? I hate having that adressbar popping up when I scroll up.
I tried the aosp installer last week, but didnt get it to work. Also tried some other ways of pushing it, but then broke the default browser in the progress. Dont want to reflash my rom again, but if it can get me the PIE controls I will keep trying it.
I've got the international version and the browser seems to have lots of bugs. Double tapping a column of text doesn't always resize it or align it with the screen properly, after a week my bookmarks disappeared and refused to come back so I had to do a factory reset, now the top and bottom bars no longer auto hide. I like the browser because it has extra features not found in Chrome but it feels like a beta product. I'm going to give dolphin and firefox a go.
Hi there... I have a new D800 and am trying to get flash installed by following the above tips. Even though I've tried several times, it's not happening. Could someone please tell me which flash version in the archived list you were able to get working using the default browser, unrooted, on the AT&T G2?
Thanks.... I am very hard of hearing and need to be able to watch the ASL videos online.

It works now but only on some videos.
Thank you !!
Thanks
Awesome. I had assumed that the stock player would have flash plugin installed, and when I tried to open a site with flash, was surprised to find that it couldn't handle it. Now I am able to. Thanks for the info.
AWESOME! Just wish I had seen this over the weekend when I was trying to watch college football on CBS while on my way to my outlaws! I couldn't get flash to work on anything.
I'm on Verizon and I just installed the Flash for Android 4.0 and this browser:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.android.browser
and Dolphin and both work just fine with Flash sites and the G2 has enough power to actually handle it. I have a feeling it would destroy battery life if used too much but for times when you need it, it's great to know it works, for now.
Not sure how many of you are Sprint users; but there was a software update released for the Sprint G2 last week that apparently (at least for my slightly disgusted experience) has REMOVED the flash capability from the built-in browser. Can anyone confirm?
Stock Browser KitKat
Verizon KitKat is missing stock browser, of course. Tried using the stock LG Browser from JellyBean, but it FC's. Does any variant have LG Browser on KitKat? If so, could someone please post the APK + ODEX files?
Good information.
