Does any on suffer with the same thing when scrolling on xda forums? Its like the browser can't keep up and all squares appear for a second or so till it finally settles down. Most other websites are the OK although I have noticed it on other ones too. I've tried dolphin browser too but the same thing happens.
Seems like it happens sometimes, but I use XDA Premium
I get this too- parts of the screen will be blank for a second or two, especially when scrolling from quickly from one end to the other. I have the default set to display 50 posts per page- maybe it might be more responsive with less posts.
Thanks for the reply guys. It does seem better on a post like this which only has a couple of reply. I just wondered why it happens on this site and others are OK
it's not only the amounts of posts, but the ads that are everywhere. so far there is no adblocker for the stock browser and adfree is only for rooted devices. lagfree are xda or tapatalk apps.
Ive found a fix... kind of. Switching the theme to classic in user profiles makes the forums much more usable
Browsers defo need a fix. Ive tried miren - fc if you leave the page, dolphin mini not powerfull enough and jumpy, stock is ok but can just close randomly. Im using dolphin hd which is an improvement but even oc and the custom roms dont remedy it completely but definately much much better.
Can only put it down to a bug. My sgs 2 does the same, my gtab done it until the devs sorted it out.
Classic view certainly is better - cheers for that

I agree it could do with a fix. Tonight I tried my cousins Ipad 1 and although it wasn't perfect it handled this forum better than our dual core tegra machines do. What was even more annoying was Google maps in street map mode was smoother at looking around than ours. Come on Google sort it out!

Yeah, changing the style to "XDA Classic" (bottom left) helps a lot.

have you tried Dolphin for Pad or whatever it's called? There seems to be a tablet version of Dolphin Browser but if I remember correctly it was still beta. should be on the market though.
I prefer to browse xda using Tapatalk, but if you must use a browser for everything I suggest using Opera Mobile. The scrolling in Opera is a little choppy at times, but I almost never get blank areas on the pages while scrolling.
Bear in mind that much of these issues are due to the fact that most webpages these days have way more content and ads than mobile devices are designed to handle. Web developers need to learn to exercise some restraint and simplify their pages. I say stop visiting websites that are bogging down or crashing your device.
ok i have looked online and i have seen that on other Samsung android phones you can remove touchwiz by installing a "stock" rom, but to me a stock rom is the one with Touchwiz.... can someone link me to a rom thats stable and doesnt have touchwiz....im new to this phone and been using the inspire 4g but the glass shattered...i understand i will have to root phone that i know but the roms for this phone nobody seems to post pictures of what they look like.
Best rom that's stable and most themed is Sky ice cream rom by Sean. GO flash it hands down the best rom in our dev forum.

thanks i just felt wierd coming from inspire thier development area has some really really good roms for that phone, came here and was just overwhelmed with the choices and none seemed to stand out among the crowd. Ill give it a go i just really really despise touchwiz ui and its the reason i normally stay away from sammy phones, that and the fact samsung is extremely slow to put out new os's on their phones if they ever do...got burnt on the Behold 2 never got my update cause they never put it out.
Yap its still young phone and we still have more roms compare to vivid and holiday combine. Once ICS comes than it will be different flashing game haha

So does the Sky ICS ROM have Touchwiz removed? You state it is themed... but never removed... I just ask because I am very curious about this phone, but depise the iPhone rip-off that touchwiz brings to android.
You won't see touchwiz unless you chose that launcher and if you don't chose that launcher than you won't see touch wiz. You got option there like ICS launcher and every other things like setting, contacts, and stuff is ics themed.

exactly, you don't need to root or flash a custom rom to get rid of Touchwiz. For example, download "Gingerbread Launcher" and set as default when it prompts you. Turns your phone into a vanilla gingerbread android phone and Touchwiz is gone. I use ADW Launcher Ex and set it to "Fast" preset. Phone absolutely flies and no sign of Touchwiz anywhere. Stock everything for me.
ive been having issues with ever single rom in here. my fav the nexusmod, facebook app doesnt work it makes me use the browser, a few others camera doesnt work or gps doesnt work. or its overclocked which makes the battery die faster. i just want a damn rom thats as basic as it can be but still have everything work... and only reason i hate touchwiz launcher is i dont use the email app and from what i read you cant remove it from that launcher bar.

WTF?
really?
does anyone actually understand that Touchwiz is MORE than a launcher?
and you cant remove it from the launcher bar? where did you hear such asinine things?
its pretty well documented all over the Touchwiz device forums how the launcher bar works....SMH

menu button

customizable grid

Really? I make it my business to never take part in flaming or making a member feel unwanted, but really? What have you contributed to the community to make such a demand? Such a request shows your ignorance towards the hard work and dedication that is put into the work that you use for FREE!
If you are not satisfied with the the work the community provides, don't use it. I speak for the entire development community when I say Restore your device to stock and STFU you ungrateful bastard.
If i offended anyone, I apologize but it's individuals like this guy that make devs feel unappreciated.

Ok, so maybe I'm a bit thik in this smartphone thingie, sorry to post on S II.
I got an i9070 (SGSAdvanced) and I would like to remove Touchwiz, since I got APEX installed. Now... from what I gather here, Touchwiz is a different, more complex animal then APEX and basically can't/shouldn't be removed? If so, does it slow down my phonw, like say... a PC with 2 OS installed(e.g.: Windows7+Ubuntu)?
I got Titanium and RomManager too, all the free versions. I'll gladly pay full versions when I'll be a bit used to them, learning atm, same case with APEX. Altough I don't know what APEX full has extra yet.
Anyway. I thankd the people that answered already, hoping for a YES you can remove, NO, you can't remove, BUT you can make it so it doesn't draw resources, and THIS is the Dumbie link for doing that.
Wtf, you know this thread is a year old? No you can't remove touch and what does tibu and rom manager have to do with it?
What was the best before sliced bread?

you are in the skyrocket section, you need to go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1952. and the answer is yes you can remove touchwiz.
No you cant remove tw from a stock system if you think you can you need to do a lot more digging. Try removing twframework.apk see what happens try removing systemui.apk too while you're at it. Jesus you noobs kill me with false info.

For clarity, you can't remove it but, you're correct that, you can find roms that don't rely on tw.

I can't understand what you guys are saying about . Why he want to install a new rom ??? Just remove touchwiz using Root explorer like ES File editor and add a custom launcher like Nova . Is that the easy method ???

Hope you are doing well . Sorry if my question was wrong . I can't understand . Touchwiz is a launcher created by samsung for their devices .
Or is touchwiz a rom or kernal ? .I DELETED TOUCHWIZ FROM MY S DUOS . I am using nova launcher succesfully without any error .
Please describe me if my assumption about tochwiz was wrong.
Touchwiz consists of several pieces taking out the launcher is part of it but that doesn't remove touchwiz itself. Touchwiz is deeper than a launcher.

So sometimes when I am using the Gingerbread browser, I will touch the screen in a certain way and a "tab" interface pops up. I can't for the life of me figure out what the actual swype command is that is bringing up this screen. Does anyone know?
Lol stock browser.

It might matter what browser you are using (TW or AOSP)
Many thanks for the helpful replies so far. I don't know if it is TW or ASOP. I'm on the Humble 5 rom. ASOP I guess since it is a ROM.... I have never heard the distinction until now.

I am not exactly sure what you are talking about, the GB stock browser does not support multiple tabs or gesture input. As for humble 5, it has not been updated in some time, I don't even think there is a thread for it on XDA anymore is there? It seems tweak stock is generally thought of as the improved successor to humble, I've found. Well to each his own!
May I suggest that you use an alternative to the stock browser? Most android users use an alternative browser from the market, because the stock browser is laggy and it sucks, and 90% of the browsers on the market are much faster, support more features/customization, and are free. I would personally recommend dolphin browser mini or hd. It supports gestures, multiple tabs, is super fast, is free, and handles flash quite well. Check it out.

You know how Flipboard was exclusive only to the Galaxy S III? Sure, you can stand in line and wait for the official launch for the Android app, but since we are all buddies here...
It's simple, I just had a Galaxy S III lying around and I extracted the .apk using AirDroid. So, there you go.
Woot! My favorite site has covered me - http://blog.gsmarena.com/flipboard-...gs-cool-news-feeds-to-non-galaxy-s-iii-users/
About the S Voice, I no longer have the phone with me. But I'll try my best to get it again and extract everything you guys have asked for. Stay tuned.

Min Req
I'm asking about the minimum requirements for the device to run this app??
Thanks !!! You are an absolute legend I finally won't miss my iPhone !)))
Great, let me try.
Woohoo!
Now to see if it grinds on my SGS as much as Currents does....
Update: Like butter, even on the original GT-I9000!
thankss.. working fine on my galaxy S i9000 !!!
Nervana!!
Awesomesauce! Just installed it on my Transformer Prime and it works like a charm
EDIT: it acts a bit funny after a while... like after flipping a page, it returns back to the previous page on its own. clicking on that page brings you to the new page you're supposed to be seeing. maybe it's still pulling content from the net? still very useable so far though...
Very laggy and lots of FCs on gtablet honeycomb. Also, not working in landscape. Any fix?
Hi,
thanks a lot for this! Works like a charm.. What would we be without the xda community?
cheers,
it installed and opened on my samsung vibrant. i haven't checked it out enough to see about lags and FC's.
Only thing I don't like is the forced resolution
Excellent, thank you. Am I being silly, or is there an obvious way to create an account for Flipbook?

Is Dolphin HD still the preferred method ?
Stock browser?
Chrome? doesn't do Flash though.
What else?
I love ICS Browser+. It is the stock browser with more options and tweaks. You can add a third ring to the Quick Controls. (best thing about stock browser, I never have to do anything but move my finger slightly to control all navigation). It is in the labs section. Quick Controls. On ICS Plus Browser it is just under Quick controls.
I use Dolphin for things still. But in general I have my ICS Browser+ set for PC mode and just use it for almost everything.

I did try Opera and Dolphin but both of those seemed to have issues with the BBC iPlayer. The Dolphin one, for example, would not go full screen. So I have gone back to using the Browser+ as that seems to work fine.
I'm loving Chrome, use it on my xoom, gnex, and all my pcs. The sync function is awesome.
Chrome
Dolphin
Ics browser +
Opera
Overskreen. This one is the best floating browser.

I've been using the stick browser mostly. It's seems to work well on my Xoom. I'm going to give the ICS Browser + a try though. Just looked at at on the market. Looks nice.
I use Chrome as my main browser, because it syncs bookmarks.
But for the occasional time I need flash on my xoom, I use the stock browser.
Quick ics browser
Quick ICS browser+ is way better than ICS browser+. For pages loading nothing can beat Opera Mini but it doesn't load every images on certain websites so i use quick ics.
Sent from my MZ604 using xda premium
I tried, Opera, Chrome, ICS+, Stock, Boat, Maxthon, but i keep coming back to Dolphin HD. I think that once Chrome is officially released, i might drop Dolphin.
seems im the only one using opera mobile in my ics xoomstock was also nice but opera with sync rocks big time!
This is just the type of thread I was thinking about posting, I never got the chance though. I'm currently using ICS Browser+ but this brings up some questions I've been having. I recently got my Motorola Xoom and I love it!
The reason I'm using ICS Browser+ is because I can change the user agent. Right now I have it set to iPad otherwise pages just load mobile versions. The other question is, is it just me or does Google Chrome on Android stutter and show a lot of white when scrolling quickly?
Chrome also doesn't allow user agent switching and also only loads mobile desktop websites which is kind of surprising and really upsetting. I'm hoping Google changes it to load desktop websites by default.
Any suggestions for a new Xoom user?
Thanks all.. I'm trying out ICS quick browser, it is nice, but wow, one of the biggest reasons IMO for android tablets>Ipads is FLASH.
and the ICS quick browser + doesn't seem to do flash at all..
Meanwhile dolphin HD , seems to do it just fine, but I do like general browsing better on the +
sucks!
And Chrome simply will NEVER support flash, so thats done with too
Chrome+Flashify to redirect all flash content to Browser=THE solution. There simply IS no other solution. I wish Google would just put Flash into Chrome, but it's not their choice seeing as Adobe is Apple's *****.

I've noticed that, too, on my friend's iPad which I occasionally use. Chrome got an update which is (mostly) awesome! Way smoother, and pages load quicker for me! Only bad part is the new icon... In the Play Store it shows as the same, but on actual devices the colouring is faded, fugly, and gringey... I want the old icon back! The red looks pink-ish, purple-ish, and the green is puke green... Yellow is dingey as well. The white gradient is also coming from the left of the top instead of the centre... I'm kinda disgusted by it... It looks better on my Nexus S 4G because SAMOLEDs are oversaturated, but it's still a good 1,000 times more dingey! It's soooo much uglier, but I love its speed...
