Dolphin and 2.2 - Auto-closes?

Is it just me or do Dolphin and Dolphin HD both auto-close immediately when trying to do something?
Anyone have an older version that works?

Yep, its not compatible. Give it some time, the dev's will fix it soon I'm sure.

Damn, I'm coming from Desire and I loved the browser on there.
I can not STAND having the status bar visible while browsing websites.
Is there a way to hide it?

Does anyone have an older version of Dolphin Browser that works on 2.2?

if the newer versions dont work, the older ones will probably be the same and not work.

See: http://techie-buzz.com/mobile-news/opera-mobile-android-review-benchmark.html
It's basically the way the pages are rendered. Opera mobile is a full featured mobile web browser, while Mini aint.

It's indeed faster, but as of now, quite hard to use for me as the fonts are too small, even when I double-tap to zoom in. The previous version was ok.
Guess I'll just wait for the one-finger zoom support then.

Go to Settings and set the zoom level to a level that suits you (140% is what I use).

Thanks for the tip! I've set it to 200% and it's so much better now!

Can you upload a file on it, or is that still mini only?

This is a very good browser.
It's a bit like Safari on the iphone in that when you scroll down too fast you get checkerboards but it saves ram memory so pages scroll super smooth, even smoother than opera mini.
I had issues with every other android browser where some pages would scroll quite jerky but OM has been smooth on every page I've visited.
160% Zoom seems to work for me, very easy to click on links and not too big that it makes browsing pages a chore.
does anyone know what Opera turbo does? I assume it compresses images possibly?
A better solution to Zoom is:
Set Zoom to 100% and set minimum font size to something like 18. Default is 9 - Works brilliant.

Doesn't it automatically exit when minimised? I always see the loading screen when I return to OM after switching to another task.

[Q] Dumb Q: how to get "home" on stock browser?

This is gonna sound dumb but is there a "home" button that I don't see on the stock browser???
How do i get "home" after surfing a bunch of pages?

The only one I know of is on the top right of the Bookmarks screen
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App

Can't you open a new tab, and that is your homepage? Thats what I do.

thank you both for those suggestions, they will work for me.

alternatively, from from the quick menu via the sides, hit the bookmark and it'll be on the upper right of the bookmark screen

yes, enable the quick access menu from the Settings of the stock browser. That will give you buttons like: forward&back&reload, bookmarks, new tab, etc. Basically if you open a new tab that will have your home page.

Why? The stock browser is as good as (as bad as?) any other browser.

That is true enough, but I have found that no matter what browser I try, I always go back to the stock one.

I just wish there was an ad-blockling plug-in for it.
For all firefox mobile's problems with flash support and appalling image quality the ability to surf without annoying ads everywhere is tempting...

Yea, especially from this site, I guess that is what the xda premium app is for. I have a hell of a time trying to close the ads that pop up on my transformer when browsing this site through the browser.

not to hijack this thread, but i find i cant use the search box in this forum. I click it, but i cant type on it.

Default Desktop Mode for stock browser?

Is there a mod that makes the stock ICS browser launch in desktop mode? I love the stock browser but hate having to manually change from mobile profile to desktop.

Just use ICS Browser + from the market. It's free and is exactly like the stock browser but with additional setting like changing the useragent.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beansoft.browserplus

I believe you can type "about:debug" into the address bar then open settings and change the default user-agent to a desktop system.
Sent from my Inspire 4G

As mentioned above search for ICS browser + on the market, sorry I mean play store. Exactly the same as stock but with added features with one being the ability to change user agent in settings which will keep it that way
There is a free and donate version.
There is also another variant called Quick ICS browser, again its the same as stock but with a few extra features. Personally I prefer ICS browser + over this one but give them both a test drive see which one you prefer

Jup!
The Stock Browser on Team Rouges unofficial CM9 Release has now the option to change the user agent.
Settings -> Advanced -> User Agent -> Desktop
I'm very happy about this !

I'm not sure how this important mod slipped through the crack. Should be easy enough as we had it on the Honeycomb builds.

THIS would be a killer-feature in Team EOS Release too !!!
...maybe also ADB under developer-settings ???
Thanks 4 all the fish.

Look for ua string in the next couple days. As for adb wireless, its a maybe. Its sorta popular but meh. I wrote it for our honeycomb builds so its a easy mod. Ill ask solarnz about it. But really, ssh over wifi is far better.
We never use stock launcher so it is somewhat neglected. Ill see if I can hide search. Seems I've heard of that mod before.

[APP] Official Facebook Home APK

Lol, Facebook Home! AP shared the apk in their tweet, so no credits to me. Install the attached Facebook Home apk and download the Facebook app from Play Store. Then if your phone is not officially supported then you will need to edit the build.prop file, which is accessible by path system/build.pro- Reboot, via any good file manager like Root Explorer.
But then again, I strongly recommend you to NOT edit the build.prop file for such a hype like this, you will face several problems later.

In order to use the leak, you need an Android device with a maximum resolution of 1280x768 and the ability to completely uninstall your existing Facebook app. This is important, as the leaked APKs are re-signed and can't just be installed over the top of an existing installation. This will automatically exclude some devices which have Facebook installed in the base ROM. If you're on a Nexus device you're good! Even if you do have Facebook in ROM, provided you are rooted there are workarounds - i'll detail these in the comments. If you have any problems installing post below and i'll help if I can.
In the settings you can find some interesting options such as whether to hide the notification bar by default or not (if it is hidden, sweeping down from the top of the screen reveals it). Let us know your thoughts!

If you have Facebook app already installed:
If you're rooted and want to play on a device with Facebook preinstalled, you need to...
Find the location of Facebook in your system partition (e.g. /system/app/Facebook.apk or perhaps /system/app/Facebook_Client.apk)
Delete said file (after backing it up!)
Reboot device
Install Facebook from the Play Store then uninstall it
Install above APKs

But it's a really nice idea, I love it!

just as a FYI to tmobile s3 users. it works and will installs but once you start opening other apps, it starts to spaz out and the screen doesnt display correctly but it disappears when you un install it so if you wann take a look, go ahead.

Installed to check it out. This actually looks like it could be very good.

It was working, yet when you open the facebook home now,it shows u that "find on build page" Seems, Facebook shut down the shell

I got that when I first installed it, and clicked on the writing. Screen goes grey while your content loads then it's working.
