has anyone got the new chrome beta to run on an ICS ROM?
It runs for me, but will not render pages on AKOP.

Is it just me or do guys notice a pretty bad glitch when scrolling down web pages on the default browser? Just wondering if their is a way to fix that problem other then to use another browser like opera. Reason I ask is because I only use the default browser to pay online bills and that glitch while scrolling it's really annoying. Don't think it'll make a difference but I'm using infused 1.5.3
thanks.

IV had a few loading issues glitchy/laggy. But It may of been a network issue while loading. I use dolphin browser HD now seen less issues using it.

With the dolphin web browser can it give you the option to respond to web forums that aren't compatible with tapatalk I noticed opera mobile or mini can't do that.

Testing from dolphin browser oh I guess it works nice guess this will be my default browser d from now on
If its the "checkering" you are talking about... All you have to do is let the page load all the way. This issue has been discussed already. The other browsers might do it less, but I like the stock one better.

There is a modified stock browser that you can use. And see if it fixes ur problem.

Here you go. It's slappyjoker's post. Download it, backup the original (I just rename it to Browser.apk.stock) and drop in the modified browser and you're set. Use root explorer to do all of these steps of course.

I personally don't use it much because I have opera as my default for its other capabilities. But there is quite a difference in the modified browser. Feel free to test it out, you can always revert back to stock.

Holy **** that hacked browser made a huge difference in performance. It didn't fix the checker problem but the performance pretty much trumps that issue for me.
Thanks a bunch for the heads up on that browser.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997
Yeah no problem. A lot better than stock. I'm glad I could help out

Do me a favor and from your stock browser on your ICS phone, try to access this web site:
http://goo.gl/JvqyR
You can't can ya? But my gingerbread stock browser can.
All this web site is, is a login page from my favorite late night talk radio program Coast To Coast AM. From your computer, and from any level of Android your able to access this page except ICS and JB.
Right now, my phone is running gingerbread and I'm able to select the link and view the login page. If i upgraded my phone to ICS, i wouldn't be able to view it!
I don't believe the carriers make any difference.
Now, there are only a few browsers that can access the link.
Firefox - yes
Dolphin HD - no
Chrome - no
Oracle - yes
Stock - no
When Samsung released ICS for my Galaxy S 2, i couldn't access this website from my favorite browsers anymore. It's like the upgrade brake my phone from the start.
Why? Can your stock ICS browser can? if so, what phone are you on, and rom?

Maxthon-no
Opera Mobile-yes

Some of these browsers access broken core services that belong with ICS (Dolphin HD), and some other browsers somehow bypass these ICS service because they have their own (example: Firefox).
My instinct is leaning towards a kernel issue.. but Im a total noob, so i don't know.

You are correct thats a no on evo 3d
I can access it on my 3d EVO. Still on gingerbread though. No update yet, Telstra and gsm.

No luck on chrome and integrated Ics browser....

Can't access it either using Chrome on Jelly Bean. Doubt it's the OS's fault since different browsers behave differently. The upgrade probably changed the stock browser (for worse).

Could support for flash be an issue?
Will check this on wifi...
hmm.
This is truly Strange.

I believe it has something to do with a core service built into ICS and possibly JB that the 'stock' browser and some others depend on. In my opinion, Firefox is a 'walled garden' meaning it doesn't depend an any service within the phone, so it works. Yet, Google Chrome browser depends on some 'lib' file somewhere that doesn't understand secure long URLs.

JB on TF 101 seem good
anyone figured out how to get Google Chrome on our beloved Charge?
I tried Firefox, but that seemed to be very slow...
It won't run unless you have ics or jb.

Dolphin just released a beta of a new engine. It's fast, and supports almost everything the Chrome engine does, but some features are obviously broken.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
nevermind - for some reason, Firefox works really well on tweaked 3.0. I like how I can sync it with my PC browser as well...
Is Chrome the native browser for JB? And if it is, am I going to lose my current native browser when Verizon finally gets around to putting out an update for my stock gs3? I find it to be much faster than chrome...

I don't forsee Android switching browsers mid-stream like that. I know that chrome is the native browser on some ROMs only because the developer swapped it out for their personal preference.
Ahh..I thought it was the built in browser on jelly bean. Am I incorrect about this?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Premium HD app
it would be nice but as of now the stock browser isnt based off chrome
Thanks for the response. I Love chrome especially the"other devices feature" but I hate that I can't set a homepage, and the native is just a little faster still.

Personally I hate chrome on my phone. Love it on my PC with all the plugins it's got. Just garbage on the phone tho, the whole 'sync' thing isn't worth it for me to lose other basic functionality of most of the other browsers. Plus there's a plugin for the PC where you can send your phone links anyways directly to a download or webpage, whatever.
As we all know, Facebook for Android sucks. 1.9.12 was the last that worked for me allowing sharing, statuses, etc before the latest version broke all that.
The following link contains downloads of old versions.
Delete current Facebook for Android (if latest)
DL apk and install like normal
DO NOT UPDATE through play store when it says you have an update. You'll be back at the new crap version.
