Chrome Beta - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Any chance of getting this on our phones? Its ICS only. Any way to modify it to work on GB?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk

i tried it on a friends gnexus and it wasnt that great, definitely not worth the work that it would take to get to get chrome on it. we will just have to wait till we get ics, and by then it might even be out of beta. what im saying is to just wait it out, its just not worth it

I agree. It seems **** a slightly nicer stock browser. I didn't even see the ability to change the user agent in the settings menu.

Looks like ICS will start being available March 1 if you believe the blogs....

[Q] Chrome Beta

has anyone download it? and ive notice its super laggy on tf101 compare to the Galaxy Nexus, has anyone else notice this?
you are right it is a little slow. I would say just use the stock ICS browser untill chrome gets out of beta
yea ICS browser is faster but on the Galaxy Nexus Chrome is way faster. I dont understand why though

There is alot of optimization to be done on chrome
Personally I use Dolphin HD and Chrome on my set up I think even Dolphin HD got faster with ics compared to HC and less crashing so im happy

Looks like the rendering isn´t fast like the stock ICS.
But its good enough for me.

yea that was what i was thinking its probably hardware related and not the app
Not being a smart ass but you guys do see that word "beta " in the app name right? It'll get better. Its still early. Just like anything Google does, they let us use beta and test for them to see what to fix

I know its in bet but why the big difference between when using on the tf101 then the Galaxy Nexus. I think if it was a beta problem then it will be slow on what ever device you install it on.

Yea I get your point. I can't answer that. I like it so far but haven't set it as my default. I use the stock ICS browser
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
Does anyone know how to change user agent settings here?
yea im also using the stock browser because its faster but hopefully with future updates they fix it. I did notice that tf101 kernel version is 2.6 were as the Galaxy Nexus is 3.0.8 i dont know if thats one of the problems it was the only difference ive seen between the two.
Stock browser is faster, but Chrome is much better for me and fast enough - so I'll stick to it probably.
I like Chrome just want it to be a little faster

Anybody interested in trying it out..

I tried yesterday for a while with no luck. I tried fixing permissions manually but always got a parsing error. I ended up giving up after a while. It may work with some effort but it was not a simple install for me.

I read tonight it only works on ics. There is a function it requires to install that is not part of GB stock based ROMs. Not sure if it will work on AOSP based ROMs or not.

1. You need twframeworks .. obviously cause ICS AOSP doesn't support an assistant built in.
2. Two, all of the resources are dependent on new ICS frameworks.
3. It won't work on this phone no matter what we do. We don't have TW ICS.
We''ll probably get AOSP, but for this to work, we'll ned TW.
4. Jelly Bean, Android 4.1/5.0 will have it's own integrated personal assistant probably, which will be 100% better than S-Voice.
-reasons
-better hardware at the time
-better API
-android integration(you need to open your app drawer to get to S-Voice. which sucks)
Will this run for me on ics Rom ? Can I just install or no
Sent From My Rooted 3D
no
first of all, I doubt that you are using any form of a Galaxy S(IDK why you posted here)
you are probably using an Evo 3D or an Optimus 3D, and there are "no" chances unless you have touchwiz ICS, which "ONLY" galaxy S phones can have. I doubt it can be ported to other phones like Sense UI can.
in case you didnt read, i mentioned that i used to own a galaxy s 4g. i passed it on to a friend and got a nexus s. No TouchWiz, and the app worked ok after modifying the build.prop a little.
just wanted to share here because i really liked this community. I'm grateful to all the Devs that made my old 4g run flawlessly. So i thought i would share some love.. BUT i honestly had no idea it was an ICS only app... so sorry.
too bad. samsung has fix this leak so the one and only s III is only able to use it now.
Ok well for all people knocking this It's working for my on da 3d with np right now going to post a link in a few uploading now here you go

If using apex launcher you can set it open by double tapping the home screen.
Hit menu then apex settings,behavior settings, and Desktop double tap. Select launch app and select S-voice.
I thought the double tap thing might be launcher related. I'm going to test Stock launcher vs Nova and see if that makes a difference.
Edit: No luck. Maybe it has to do with the S-Voice version..?
I tried installing it after connecting it via USB mode but it says "there is a problem parsing the package." My Samsung Galaxy S 4G has been rooted btw.

Smooth scrolling?

Hi. I recently bought a 7.0 version. Ive rooted and flashed phones alot ( s2, s3 ect ect ) so I get the idea. My question is if i install a rom on my tablet will it make the scrolling abit smoother? Its a little jumpy. I hate apple but the scrolling on ipads is awesome. Any help is thankful please ?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using Tapatalk 2
Without knowing what exact tab, or what firmware you are on, it is hard to say. Jellybean is smoother than ICS. I know with the transition effect in touchwiz can look a little choppy by how fast it scrolls then rotates slowly at the end, if that makes sense. I think it has smoother animations than my rezound. Any who, just trying to help.
Sent from my Rezound using Tapatalk 2
I have a galaxy tab 2 7.0 and i mean the browser scrolling more then anything. Also i have stock 4.0.3 as i just got it yesterday. I have lots of work stuff on it already and dont know what to use to back it all up with to root it.
Sent from my GT-P3110 using Tapatalk 2
If you have the 3110, you can upgrade to jellybean with an official ota. There are threads in development for this. Then you can use cf auto root that chain fire made. Also in development. Last, you can flash clockwork mod, also in development thread. At that point, you have upgraded to jellybean, and you browser will be more responsive. Unfortunately, sometimes you may have to factory reset after you upgrade the firmware. My advice would be to backup all of your important info on a PC beforehand. You could always just use a root+cwm zip now, back it up, restore back to stock, then follow my earlier advice, but that in my opinion is too much flashing for a noob. Just trying to show you how many options you have, not trying to make it more difficult. Good luck

All those satisfied with g2x GTFIH

Now i know LG abandoned this ship. I'm just as pissed off as the next guy about that one. I wouldn't mind an official jb or at least an ics update. But either way, I'm honestly quite satisfied with this phone and its performance. I'm running standard cm7 nightlies (latest) with Trinity t15 kernel and wolf script mod. Battery life is decent and bad when i whore wifi but that's the biggest iissue with my g2x. With all the hate threads around this forum there have to be others who have positive experiences with this device.
This phone is awesome. Since I started carrying around my portable nuclear power plant all my battery issues are gone.
Seriously though, if you use the phone the battery will drop. That is a law of physics you can't avoid. My problem with this phone was that with stock ROM the battery dropped a lot even when I did absolutely nothing. CM7 solved that, so I am happy.
I still don't get sufficient standby life so I am working on fixing an old HTC amaze (fixed bootloop, now waiting for screen to arrive). My wife's amaze can get over 4 days of standby and I just noticed that she has not rebooted it in close to 400 hours.
-- The noob says:
Believe you me... Apple suggested LG for Nexus 4
4 days of standby time? Sorry this is the g2x forum I don't know what that means.
Lol that's crazy!
I have about six months left until I'm available for an upgrade. Thinking the new s4, razor or nexus.
I agree this is still a pretty slick phone. I'm loving the dual boot setup with CM7/Trinity ELP as my runner and CM10.1 as my gaming/test platform. I'd probably be way more disappointed with the phone if I was stuck with stock software, but thanks to the awesome devs and their work I'm very happy with this phone.

I am currently running cm7 with Mazout360's kernel and wolfscript. I have themed my phone to be as similar to ICS/JB as possible, as that was the only way I could return to GB. I am very content with how it turned out.
In the end, I have accepted that I will probably never have fully functioning ICS or JB on this phone. But, I guess all that I was really looking for was that updated look and crisp feel, which I have since obtained!
Although I will move on to some sort of Nexus when I have better funding, I am satisfied with the g2x.
The only problem I seem to have with cm7 is this noticeable static flicker that appears very quickly after turning on the display. It only seems to do that with cm7 roms.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but is it possible to get the jellybean notification bar on gingerbread? Like with notifications you can swipe away and quick message replies to texts and all that. That might be the only thing keeping me on jellybean right now because I love the way it feels so intuitive and such.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I can swipe away notifications, that's something GB can do already I think. As for quick replys to messages and emails and such, I don't think so.
At least as far as I know.
I miss those features too, but I guess we can't have everything.
There are apps for pop up notifications though.
I can also swipe away notifications. Actually i found that out on mistake, had a few too many whisky cokes and tried responding to a text and swiped it away lol

Oh I went straight from Froyo on my old Optimus V to Jellybean on the G2X (I rooted and installed Paranoid Android right away) so I thought swipe notifications was a Jellybean thing. I'll install a Gingerbread ROM when I get back from work and try to make it look and feel like JB.
On topic, yes I'm very satisfied with my G2X, but that might also be because I wasnt expecting a high end phone when I bought it from eBay a few months ago. Also I have a Nexus 7 for any apps that I use that require a hardware accelerated jellybean.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
AFAIK swipe notifications is a CM7 thing in GB ROMs.

The g2x works best if you chant "humba lumba humba" while standing on one leg!
I though problems would be fixed by updates.
And once rooted and a with custom rom
Everything was going to be working good like the days of the HTC G1.

For those of you who are content with cm7, even though it is old software, I am working on my "Speedster" rom. It is still quite alpha but my goals is to optimize CM7 for our G2xs. I am also doing a bunch of software updates inside and using Mazkrnl to have speed and stability. I use the latest ADW launcher in it and JB sounds so it really gives CM7 new life and gives it a great CM10 feel. I can't do anything about play store, still limited to 2.3 aps. No google keep/now
Pie, I'm willing to flash your rom whenever its out of the alpha stage. Or let me know if you need a tester
I use this for the theme.

Anyone using ICS still?

I'm wondering just in case GB starts to lose support from app developers. I'd like to know if ics is 100% stable at this point, and all features work. I'm all about stability and having everything work the way it was intended.
Bling is cool, as long as it doesn't introduce glitches and hitches.
Ummmm....ICS is pretty dead I dont know if anyone still uses it.....JB is more stable now I have no issues with any app

Well, GB is pretty dead too, according to some here. But at least it's 100% stable. (at least the revenant rom is) But after perusing the JB threads, it would seem that there are still issues to be ironed out. It may be "good enough" for some, but good enough is not good enough for me.
I guess it looks like I'll be staying with GB for as long as possible. The only reason I upgraded to GB was because some apps no longer work on Froyo.
If you actually flash a Jb ROM I'm willing to bet you won't find something you use daily that has any issues I'm using carbon nightly and I don't have any issues....honestly GB doesn't have really any features I couldn't be on GB anymore

OK, please elaborate more. On JB, does flash work? GPS? And what go you mean GB doesn't have any features? I mean, GB works 100% as far as apps and functionality so I'm confused. It does what I ask it to. What would JB give me that GB doesn't? Are you talking about bells and whistles?

I still use GB. I would not describe myself as a heavy user though. I use the phone mostly for the call, text and camera function.
I like my gmail, calendar and contacts sync'ed.
I don't have all the fb, twitter etc
When I tested out JB, I found a few things I liked:
1. gtalk updated better.
2. gmail had other options. Scrollable widget. Calendar had scrollable widget also. Calendar has more detailed display
3. Chrome worked. Native Browser was better.
4. Google body (now defunct-ed) worked..it needed a 3.0+ platform.
5. I don't use it but others like the theme engine.
6. The weather update on the lock screen was a nice touch.
7. The quick launch from the lock screen was neat...although I don't usually use the lock screen.
8. Back up and restore apps is more comprehensive.
9. Google Now and Google Keep is neat to try.
There were others but I forget...
For my phone, I still like the simpler GB interface and the battery life (less processes running means less battery usage)
fwiw, Entropy said his cm9 was stable..and "dead" too. Supposedly he had a more updated one but never release. Supposedly, aremo/he may have a different cm10?..I'm not sure though...
My final thoughts...to each his own...find something that you like...

Thanks for the info. I don't see anything on that list that is a must have though. Hopefully, GB will be supported by app devs until next spring when my contract is up. Carry on.
yeah..nothing must have..just interesting to test.
jb may be a step up in the most updated device designed to run it with support from chip set manufacturer. (ex: gn2, sgs3, sgs4)
for the most part, i prefer a tablet or pc...my phone is mostly a phone/digital assistant...but i suspect i'm a minority here
