I agree... Minimo makes really good use of it's name... I has "minimal" improvements over what's currently out there (except SkyFire).
private beta says its not available and will email when it is.waste of time
Can anyone tell us when this will be available? Or perhaps where one might come across a beta install

true, there is massive hostility with these bumbaclots!
Opera can play youtube videos as is. (not opera mini)
downside is you get 30 days free then you have to pay and the prog is huge. But in this community we flash so frequently that 30 days then gets reset with the reflash.

Too true. But I do look forward to the day when I find the perfect ROM, even if I do actually have to start entering my serial numbers again.
Currently DCS1.5 (slightly modified to my taste) has been untouched on my device for just over a week, which is already some sort of world record.
I'm just looking forward to Firefox Mobile. But it's only supposed to be released soon after Firefox 3 for desktop, so still a bit of time to go...

I will definitely look into FFmobile.
Where did Johan come from!? This DCS 1.5 is quite the rom. I myself made small mods to it and have been running it since 1.3 and don't want to get rid of it. I'm almost hoping that duttys wont be as good but I will have to re flash when Duttys new rom come out. I would say it is the most fast and stable rom out right now.
personally i didnt even know of all these different browsers for all of our phones and after i tried some of them id have to say that i actually like Skyfire the most. Does anybody else know of any other ones.

The one I am really excited about is Fennec - basically Firefox for winmo.

Maybe not a big deal from a users' perspective, but as a web developer this really excites me.

Hey guys,
since we know that full flash 10.1 won't work on our devices (or its an disproportionate act to port it, because its not open source and due to the fact that flash 10.1 is not meant g1's processor).
But what about flash lite (which we know is working on g1 from the sense ROMs)? I read that the froyo browser does accept plugins (well he accepts the flash 10.1 on capable phones).
So did someone tried to port it? I know this is not the major thing on froyo, its hard enough to get the rest working properly (and i really thank those devs for spending so much time on it!!!). Many people would love to see at least flash lite on our devices. And in my humble opinion little flash animations worked fine for me on the sense roms with flash lite.
I tried to install the flash lite apk on the froyo roms availlable ... but it returned only fc's for me in browser. By now i am not running froyo but i will put some rom on and try to get a logcat on it.
Greetings
Crazy Idea: Why not make a port of an open source flashplayer (like lightspark) to ARM hardware?
[Yes, I know thats probably somewhere between inconveniant and impossible, but hey, it's a think tank ]

MUCH MUCH BETTER idea. Certainly not impossible. In fact VERY POSSIBLE.
There are a few issues to work through in it though, certain dependencies on things like PULSEAUDIO, which we don't have on android (but would be nice if we did...)
There are actually THREE open source flash projects to work from.... gnash, swfdec, and lightspark. The first two are based on reverse engineering and tend to work. lightspark is from SPEC, is much NEWER, and really doesn't work yet. Lightspark is the best FOUNDATION, but is behind in FUNCTION.
Note: flash is a bad idea no matter how you look at it. You don't need it, it doesn't do anything USEFUL, I suggest just ignoring it. PURIFY! Let flash DIE!

Yeah, HTML5 FTW!
Now that iCrap officially banned flash many sites will at least alternatively offer html5 support, because otherwise the iPhonies cry.
Most of the flash content is unwanted commercials anyway. I would hate going on some site and swoop away 5MB of my data plan (which gets downgraded to gprs speed if I get above 200MB/month) with some nagging commercial video... (€: OK, this could also happen with html5... would hate it anyway)
well i know that if flash lite could be rid of its dependency on sense it would work. it has the correct settings to work . it has 2 different ways to enable flash while the flash 10.1 has only one of those. you would have to check the 2.1 port of 10.1 to understand what im talking bout. it might also need to be built on 2.1 or 2.2.

youre right ^^ the dependency of sense is the point which prevents flash for working on froyo out of the box in my opinion. I was thinking the problem of the non-sense (not nonsense lol) browser was, that it wasnt capable to use plugins. But it looks like that the whole sense framework has something to do with flash working on sense roms. Maybe some dev could take hand on that flash lite and compare it to how the flash 10.1 plugin interacts with froyo and the browser.
I aggree with all of you that flash might die and that there are better possiblities to create an active web ... but its a fact that its heavily used in the web (so with a dataplan youre not forced to use flash ... its just that i hear many ppl wanting it). I dont wanna start a discussion about usability of flash -this is just about how to port it to froyo on g1 for ppl who like to see it
Well from the port thread over in the ego forum they found that both versions of flash have a similar plugin method for the browser. I will have to find it later.

Sounds interesting! I searched the thread but didn find it. If the method of linking the plugin to the froyo browser was similiar there might be a possibility to use the flash lite without the sense framework i am curious to read that
Has anybody tried to use not just only the flash.apk but also the libs that come in sense 2.1 roms?
because missing libs can well be the cause of force closes...
alternatively we can wait until froyo comes out for sense phones like the hero...
There was another [THINK TANK] for this.... it died. Hopefully this will, too.
I tried modifying an APK to do this. I put the flash lite plugin in the flash APK and flashed on CM6.... Didn't work, their was no force closes, it did not even show up as a plugin.

This is about porting flash lite which we know from sense roms works on our devices.

Then how about you go back to just lurking before opening your mouth about something you clearly have no idea about? The fact that FLASH SUCKS and should have been gone a LONG time ago but it's still around is the only pathetic thing here. That's what I originally said, and that's what I'm saying now. Also, I'm sure most people will have no interest in this and it's most likely going to fail. Now, let those balls drop and man the hell up.

Definitely. Flash is very much the standard for now, and I don't see that changing for some time. HTML5 is great for very basic video playing, but it gets hard to do things dynamically with it. Personally, I've been wishing I could watch the Daily Show on my phone.
For those who couldn't able to download Mozilla firefox's latest beta!
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/
Just go here through your web/mobile browser and find the version you want to test! and for X10 download the armv7 version or the one with the suffix r7!
the beta 4 is pretty solid and stable, but I am testing the pre beta 5 version
And for those who says it is available in the market! It isn't for everyone...
If you are running on stock SE 2.1, chances are lesser...
Note: I am not responsible if you smoke your mobile as all these versions are still in beta/pre-alpha!
Firefox in Android, great.
One question: how light is this version? Latest Firefox versions for Windows/Linux/Mac OS X are heavy and eat a lot of RAM. Hope this changes in Android.
beta 4 is still huge and takes ages to start up. I cannot remember but about 10mb for the app? It lags when you open complicated webpages.
FF lags like hell for me. I tried beta 4 for a few days. It's a great browser, but they need to lighten the load a little.....It's just too tasking for its own good! I shouldn't have to kill all my other tasks just to get webpages to load. And flash is very spotty still

Skyfire is good, but Dolphin is my option!
Latest update (2.25.2011) seems much better, but I still had to take it off my phone. 14mb is too much without App2SD and everything else is sluggish since (on my phone) there's not much space left internally. I liked the Sync thing, it showed exactly what was the last pages on my desktop, but I use Chrome mostly and that syncs across computers too.
Reformatting the text still doesn't seem to work correctly.
Some jpgs were rendered poorly
confused on single/double tap to zoom, ran through preset sizes and returned to original. I suppose it works better if you have dual touch.
lag on touch, so you may "Next" twice
stable beta5 out!!

FF on the desktop is pathetic, makes me wonder why they even bother with an Android version. 14-18mb for a browser? Really? I'm confident they've included a dishwasher+coffee maker and a sauna in there.
What can it do better than Miren Browser which can do all of the above in just a little over 2mb, and with great aplomb!
Are you kidding??? FF on desktop is the ****!!! There's literally nothing better for desktop pc that FF4 beta....I dunno what you're smokin', but where I come from, we don't touch any other browser. lol
^^ haha tell me about it
There was a time when I used to be a firefox user too, but the 3.xx versions started sucking ass. I then moved to the 4.xx beta and it's a lot better than before. The sluggishness and insanely high resource usage remains though :/ and they still haven't fixed it despite ELEVEN betas and being over a year in active development. Last time I checked there's one more beta due soon, may be more after that, too
tbh i think that the stock android browser has worked best

I personally like skyfire the best. It's got partial flash which saves on battery (according to the message when it loads ) and fb is integrated into the browser...speedy as hell, too!!
If firefox would just load pages faster I'd use it exclusively...I love the fact that they have sync working finally!! I've been dying to try it, but I can't get any web pages to load at all, even on my home wifi network with 15MB cable internet lol.....and all my background apps are killed, too
if someone can port the micro b browser from maemo 5 it would be great!
that is one kick ass browser!

then you are obviously doing something wrong ive been using dev chrome close to the day it came out.. only issue i had was a while back, when i couldn't scroll up a page with the mousewheel anymore.
but ok, can't really tell that i had a lot of benefit using the dev version above the stable one..
They have it on Android Freeware I am running it. Yes, I did a search to see if the topic had been posted here. Search kicked back no results. So far its nice, just wondering if anybody else noticed any improvements.
Almost could get netflix streaming but it wants to put silverlight on my tab. The download is unsuccessful. I can get CNN streaming in HD. Very nice, very, very nice.

Just installed 10.2 on my gtablet and it runs flawlessly with sound which I have heard from other sites that they can not get sound to work. I even played a youtube and it worked perfectly.
Thanks for the find. Works great!
