What is fire fennec and where do I get it?

Since Opera Mobile is not your first choice, though I really like it, Dolphin HD would be my second. Depending on the day I sometimes prefer it.
I don't know if either. Is hardware accelerated though. Both are fast.

this thread actually made me do a little bit of research not many browsers are hardware accelerated at all because it takes good amount more work on developers side.
It would be nice too see hardware accelerated advertised in market on some browsers but not the case.. I think im going to start a favorite browser thread see what a lot of you are using

Slight color shift when tapping screen?

I noticed when browsing the XDA forum via web browser, that when I tap the screen and hold, there is ever a slight shift in color tones. When I let go the color returns to normal. (I'm sure its on other sites as well that aren't on a white background). Has anyone else noticed this?
You can test by browsing XDA, going into a post, zooming in, and tap and hold around someone's avatar. Usually the icons around the avatar will become more pronounced when tapping, and look at the color of the background.
This might be a normal thing, but would love for someone else to test it and report back on it via their Sensation.
Last thing I want to do is bring this one back and swap.
I noticed it when I was choosing apps from my home screen.

Do you notice it browsing XDA? But not via the XDA app. Tapping and letting go?

i noticed it on the browser too on xda site, not tired any other site. but i think it could be software, maybe hardware but most likely software, anyone else got anything on this?
I just noticed also on the stock News app. White background, but when scrolling background turns just slightly pink. When done scrolling background goes back to white. Could be the app, but would appreciate if anyone could try that as well!
Yeah I noticed it on the xda app

Okay I just downloaded XDA premium and XDA free on both devices and checked many other apps and the browser on both mine and my wifes sensation and here is what I found,I was able to replicate the issue on both phones only in the XDA premium app
And I did NOT find this to be an issue and could NOT replicate it in any app nor the browser and also not in the XDA free app.Cheers

Just something I noticed stock browser is faster then opera

I don't how but ya..
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Maybe sometimes, but the smoothness of opera is worth it
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Word I find myself using the stock browser more than any other. On my other devices I was a bit fan of opera mini and dolphin and both seem a lot slower than the stock one. Firefox was a big disappointment for me because it not as fast, its a resource hog, no flash, file size is huge, and It froze on me like 2x. Mozilla really needs to step their game up tor Mobile browsers.

I don't think you can. However, it keeps on playing with the screen off.
I'm looking for an application that doesn't turn off any application in the background, anyone aware of anything?
Get skyfire browser and you can have flash items running still when you close the browser. I use it to stream radio stations.

What's is the best tmous ROM?

I'm looking to stick with tmous roms for now because I didn't do step 4 on the s off guide. Anyone know which one will provide the best speed and smoothness?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I use Virtuous Sensation and I really like the advanced quick settings and that its available in ROM Manager so I can updates from there. Its smooth and I have more RAM available than on stock. No bloat and no annoying TMo startup/shutdown animations

Works very nicely and appears to just give a newer ICON. Does appear to be faster then previous version, probably just the placebo effect.lol
Maybe lol

Older versions were very slow on my phone. I hope this app fixes it.
