For the dolphin fans as me, a ne version-Dolphin Browser HD v5.1.1 comes out. You can get from their blog. It makes browsing from a mobile phone much easier than ever before with improved performance.
This minor update includes stability and bug fixes:
1. Fixed crash problem on Asus & Xoom when selecting batch mode to delete multiple bookmarks at once
2. Fixed Google image issue: When doing a google search and clicking on the "images" tab, then choosing an image the address bar slips in from the top of the screen causing a jittering effect as it slowly slides down.
3. Fixed some other random crashes according to the crash log you sent to us.
i have a problem with bookmarks.
i can not delete it from the bookmarks bar.

Very Important Tips To More Ram Free
Brush into V4/V5ROM, the first step to restart the phone.
Settings - General Settings - Desktop Effects - selection screen transition effects - Classic
Select the wallpaper scrolling type - centered
General Settings - icon shadow (cancel)
Settings - all settings - Developer options - to force GPU rendering (tick)
Screen is displayed as rounded apex (Cancel)
Window animations Zoom - 0.5X (or close animation)
Transition animation Zoom - 0.5X (or close animation)
After setting, restart the phone .....
Next streamline their useless software on the phone!
Applications after recovery. To the last step, control their own background!
Open the "back-end application management" - "field" key - all rejected (and then you can check on their own needs)
Finally restart the phone!
Background control the most important!
Settings - Applications - All - Backup - rights management - automatically activated (closed)
According to the above steps have to close up, notes, SMS, contacts, storage, document management, theme style
Close does not affect daily use
Well, the last step
Open - hardware acceleration setting - desktop (remove Gogo)
Only closed system desktop one, the other is not recommended to switch off, the whole person not recommended hardware acceleration streamlined out oh.
Turn off the desktop hardware acceleration, so freeing more RAM 40M Come!
3.6.28 later can be turned off! Turn off the desktop before the cards. But not anymore!
Notes:
1. When you start the application choose install Viper Driver contralador A8 (Remember that you can choose between sound enhancements, entering viper MusicFX and sound settings)
1.1. Before installing this rom, disabled on your Sim pin number, it's a bug that has otherwise not will be able to use
2. For those with crashing problems and etc ... Remove from the SD completely MIUI folder
3. To operate the cleaner with home key: Enter General Settings / Buttons / Button Home / and
Here we check the option that makes any
April. Important Enable swap
-We go into Settings
-After General Settings
-Now we get to where it says Additional
-Making a choice we appear unchecked SWAP
-We went to streamline system
We'll see four boxes google services, MIUI Services, Security / Network and Other
(Well in this step does not have to dial anything later if we can streamline
our marking of those options do not use)
-Backtrack screen (giving the fluecha that arrives on the left)
-We redireciona back to General Settings
-Go back into Additional
-Again Streamline enter system
-Now we see that all the boxes are marked quoted above
-We need to clear all (at least those resources if we use, otherwise
we will appear after the app)
-With this we would have already activated the swap (can check with rootexplorer entering the root folder / data / and there will appear a file called swap.img)
May. To increase or decrease the values of the CPU:
-We go into General Settings / Additional / energy management, and here we have several ways to use in
each of the situations that best suit our needs:
. Conversation mode: 1000ghz our cpu go from default one to 600 GHz
. Energy saving: our cpu 1000ghz go from default one to 800 GHz
. Normal: This mode will default to 1000ghz
. Yield: 1000ghz our cpu go from default one to 1100 ghz
. Super Performance: 1000ghz our cpu go from default one to 1300ghz
June. Finally and optional Align app This app downloaded from the market the SManager (Giving permissions and execute the following path in the file named Zipalin.sh)
System / etc / init.d / Zipalin.sh
(Recrodar before starting the process with rootexplorer to direct you and give permission sistem r / o after and you can use the file SManager when zipalin.sh selecioneis mark both the skull box that puts SU and box beside a BOOT sun setting, once marked both select run and hope the procceso end, that will be when the cross arrives to change from red to gray).

Really, it is getting better on every update. 3.4.12 fixed some of the bugs in my Defy:
#Notification bug (no notifications in the notification bar) - FIXED
#Lock screen (no lockscreen) - FIXED
#Browser (not opening) - FIXED
#Call (getting cut after one ring) - FIXED
Haven't tested the GPS yet. There was a problem after the first boot while Google sync, a message popped up every time saying "Settings has stopped". I skipped the sync and later added account from Settings.
This is getting very close to being a perfect ROM for daily use. :victory:

I flashed 3.4.12 over CM7.2 after a full wipe + dalvik wipe.
My Defy kept rebooting every twenty seconds. And I got "Goggle Text To Speech engine has stopped".
Edit: I also got this error with latest stable 4.2.2. No reboot, though, just the TTS error. I searched on goggle and there's little help about this issue. I might be alone in that case. If someone had any idea about how to fix this issue, that would be nice. (I tried installing gapps twice already).

Installed with no error
Although installed with no error..very neat UI..but quiet a laggy after 1-2 hrs..RAM always at 80-100mb..
Finaaly uninstalled and upgraded to Quarx 15.04.
there doesn't seem to be way to select audio/music engine in this Rom.
how to select music effects on this rom?
usually we select it using settings>sound>music effects.
but there isn't any such option this rom. the old miui v4 n all other roms based on ics and above have this option.

500 Firepaper provides a live wallpaper and a daydream showing you the latest images from /r/EarthPorn throughout the day.
You never need to look at that boring old wallpaper again, or search for hours for a nice new one. This app will show you quality photographs from all over the world - different ones each day!
NOTICE: This app switched from using the 500px API to showing images from Reddit's /r/EarthPorn sub, as 500px is shutting down their API. Please read the statement on my G+ page - https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/W52tb4kp8zN
Configurable options include the refresh interval, brightness of the images, oversaturation, and blurring.
Please note that high resolution imagery and animation takes quite a bit of memory, so obviously this app is aimed at high-end devices.
If you are a Muzei user, 500 Firepaper also presents itself as an art source to Muzei.
FAQ
What does buying Pro get me?
I've already made all the features available to you for free. Supporting my developments is optional, but certainly appreciated.
Why is there no save feature ?
Not allowed per API terms
Three finger tap to go to the next image doesn't seem to work, what now ?
On some devices (like the HTC One) you need to put down your fingers one-by-one.
Why does this use so much RAM ?
High-resolution imagery takes a lot of memory in uncompressed form, and multiple buffers are required. But fear not, should your device need the memory while the wallpaper/daydream is not visible, the memory occupied by the app will automagically be released and repurposed.
Can the cached images be put somewhere else, like on my sd card ?
No, they cannot.
Do you want a balloon ?
No, but thanks for asking.
Notices
This application uses the Reddit(tm) API and is not endorsed or certified by Reddit or Reddit Inc. All images (c) their respective owners.
No personal or private information about you or your device is collected or transmitted by this app.
Why ? (you can skip this if not interested)
So this really isn't anything special and probably nobody cares about it. But here it is anyway.
I actually started writing something a little bit like this years ago (which was called Firepaper) which had loads of advanced options, but due to Android 2.x and the constant fighting with memory limitations, I never released anything. Then past February I thought about doing something with 500px, and wrote a lot of the code, but for some reason never finished it. This weekend I had some time to spare and didn't feel like working on any of my usual apps, and I was annoyed with the Nexus 5 wallpaper, so I finished this up (this is something I actually want for my own phone).
There's other live wallpapers and daydreams that do similar things. But due to the nature of background syncing, caching and transferring images I didn't really feel like trusting somebody else to get that right, and not drain my battery when I need it most or rake up the data charges. Not that I'm convinced I did it right, but it works for me so far

Nice work!
Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It crashd on first run
Anyway,after that working well
i9300 - Android 4.3 last stock rom
It also crashed on me immediately. It has worked flawlessly after that
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Nice work Chainfire, needed also a new wallpaper on my Nexus 5
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5
Thanks guys. Thanks for the crash reports also. Seems live wallpapers and daydreams are handled slightly different across devices and I mostly tested on Nexus 5 and Nexus 10.
I've already fixed a couple of crashes, and some trouble with daydreams specifically on S4/Note3. Play should update in a few hours.
Keep the crash reports coming, and don't forget to mention such details as your exact device and Android version, and if possible provide a logcat.

Works very well on the N5, the 3 fingered system works a treat :angel:
Thanks once again for yet another great app, something the nexus 5 definitely needed.

Installed on N5 & N7 2013, and for now, works like a charm Thank you.
Great app, uses quite the amount of memory though (up to 102MB now) on the N10. Also annoying that even with a static live wallpaper like this, the scrolling still becomes choppy on the N10...
Exactly what I wanted! There used to be an app on the market with changed the wallpaper periodically from images from 500px, but it stopped working a long time ago Now this is even better Btw, working fine on official Xperia Z Ultra
App works flawlessly on Xperia z1 aswell. This app is really neat.
I got feature request but i'm not sure if its even possible to create. Do you think it would be possible to make the live wallpaper set the picture its currently displaying as the lockscreen wallpaper aswell? Would be neat to have the same wallpaper on my lockscreen aswell. :laugh:
Anyway Chainfire great work as allways, Keep up the great work!

That sort of memory use is to be expected when working with high resolution imagery (and Java, heh). It shouldn't become much more than that though.
I don't really see it being choppy on my N10 but my homescreen is pretty much completely empty. The N10 isn't that fast graphics wise due to it's ridiculous resolution, and unfortunately live wallpaper drawing are not hardware accelerated unless OpenGL is used, which is a whole other world of hurt waiting to happen (development wise) and quite overkill for this purpose.
Maybe I should make an option to disable the parallax in the stock launcher, that should speed it all up a bit.

That's up to the lockscreen, I'm not going to implement anything specifically for that. On Android 4.4, the lockscreen actually shows you the LWP as well.
I think parallax effect not working but well pics are awesome... thnx :good:
LG Optimus G Pro E988
stock LG (rooted) ROM 4.1.2
Any feedback about battery consumption... since i have a travelling job i stay away from the charging point have to look at battery consuption
Edit: I don't know why but wallpaper changes with every auto rotation + in landscape mode size of wallpaper doesn't fit full screen. There is a black strip in the left (actually upperside) and right (lowerside) of display ...
Parallax effect not working on N9005 and why when I exit the setting after pressing the shorcut to setting, it will not get back to the app?
works prefect in Samsung galaxy S4 mini.... except from the first crash. Thanks a lot for your whole work!
It works flawlessly without any crash on Galaxy Note II, Android 4.3 (Touchwith). Great work as always Chainfire. :good:

Help - Tips and Tricks
Open link in foreground:
If you have open links in background checked then you can open a link in a new tab and show it immediately by long pressing either "open in new tab" or "open in incognito tab". If you have open links in background unchecked you can do the reverse by long pressing either of those options.
Reopen closed tab:
Simply long press the new tab button (not in overflow menu) and it will be reopened.
Share link:
You can add this option to the long click popup dialog from Display Settings > Edit link dialog menu
Undelete or Unmove bookmark:
Long press back button (not hardware or onscreen back)
Open bookmark in new tab:
Long press the bookmark without moving it to show the menu
Incognito bookmark folder:
Long press plus button when viewing bookmarks to show hidden folder. You can delete it and it will still be kept, but if you rename it and delete it the folder will be replaced with an empty one.
Use Hardware Rendering (Advanced Settings)
This enables hardware rendering for webviews and should only be enabled if you're experiencing very bad performance. It might help, or it wont make a difference in which case leave it off. This will use additional resources and RAM - it might also use more battery so you shouldnt enable this if the webview is rendering and scrolling fine.
Maximum performance
The most efficient layout is the bottom drawer layout, it only has 2 immediate children: the webview and the the toolbar. The bottom drawer is only made visible once you click the tab counter or when you touch at the bottom of the screen, this lets the UI avoid any additional layout calculation for the drawer. Scrolling is noticeably smoother with the bottom drawer and it most likely uses less battery in comparison to the other layouts. You can also turn off the pull to refresh to reduce the touch logic albeit for an insignificant gain. Disabling the adblock and manually adding urls as needed drastically reduces the amount of RAM the adblocker takes up and I would definitely recommend this.
Permissions
GPS - For websites that want to use location
Storage Access - Downloading files, crash logs, and for the built-in file manager
Network Access - Have a guess
Read/Write Bookmarks and History - Speed needs to be able to import bookmarks from chrome
Draw Over Apps - Floating window for tablet mode so Speed can draw over apps

I'm glad it works for you! As you mentioned, chrome takes up a lot of ram on my galaxy s3, and I'm pretty sure most people face that problem with 1gb of ram, hence my reason for making this app.
I'm thinking of publishing this app on the Google play marketplace if I get enough good feedback.
<MOD EDIT - Link Removed>
Updated app.

New version released! Updated first post with video demo.
Just installed and totally amazed
Super light and pretty fast
Swipe to access tabs and bookmarks are great
Somethign for you to improve : when changed to dark mode the browser is not totally "dark", just tabs and settings and bookmarks are dark. And the 3dots menu icon on the bar is invisible in dark mode
Btw this going to be my default browser
How do I get the border around the address bar dark like in the screenshots you posted?

Thank you! I'm flattered that this is going to be your default browser.
As requested I've fixed the dark theme and the menu icon coloring in incognito mode. I updated the attached apk in first post.
I'm working on fixing the full screen mode and incognito mode too.

Love this so far. Could we have the option for the stack of tabs to come down from the top rather than build from the bottom of the screen?
Great use of material design - looks really clear. When will be released to google play?

Hi,
*** Join the Kiwi development Discord @ https://discord.gg/XyMppQq ***
I've been an official developer on the Chromium project and WebKit in 2007 and 2008 (paid by Google as part of Google Summer of Code).
Since the feedback has been positive, I'd like to interact with the XDA community to get feedback, ideas, or just give help.
I'm a big fan of CAF Browsers, but unfortunately, they are not updated anymore and this is one of the biggest reason I've started the work.
This is *not* a variant of an existing project. The codebase varies significantly but it's conceptually inspired by CAF.
The browser is still very much work-in-progress, so I really appreciate feedback and ideas. I'm working 4 hours per day on the browser and I use it myself every day so decent stability is expected.
This is a hobby project, and I'm looking for feedback here, so I'm cool with any kind of critics.
I can only answer outside of daytime (Europe timezone) as I have to work during the day to buy food for my cats.

Kiwi Browser
What is Kiwi Browser ?
- Kiwi Browser is a Chromium Canary that includes performance improvements and adblock.
- What's this browser for ?
Imagine a grumpy grand-pa, and that's how the browser should be. The browser should be forgotten and not go in your way.
No flashing stuff, no annoyances, Fast & Quiet.
If you want to add a search engine, just go on the search engine website, then the search engine will appear by itself in settings.
Features:
* Support for Chrome Extensions
* Speed improvements
I've added lot of crazy hacks inside WebKit (Blink) to get it running faster.
* Night mode
* Move address bar to the bottom
* Cookie acceptance
Automatically accepts lots of "Please this is GDPR, and cookie, and blablabla" messages.
It's not perfect yet, as many websites have added GDPR messages lately.
* Notifications blocker
Blocks notifications.
* Cryptojacking blocker
Saving battery and prevents phone from heating.
Try it on http://www.coinhive.com (you can re-enable cryptomining in chrome://flags if you really like it for some reason )
* Extensions support
Supports real Google Chrome extensions.
* Popup-blocker
This is not the usual popup blocker, there is an heuristic inside to browser to determine whether the new window should be opened or not.
* Adblock & Tracking protection
The browser offers much better privacy protection than Chrome and Brave. It blocks also lot of ads. Not really because ads are bad, but mostly to make the browsing fast.
* Android 4.1+ support for both ARM and X86
Note: On certain Android versions, when you uninstall an app, Android also removes your downloads.
Keep it in mind if you manipulate Kiwi (to backup bookmarks file) or transfer to another device.
Important things to know about privacy:
- No tracking SDK
https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/search/com.kiwibrowser.browser/
- No in-app tracking / metrics
- No history collection
- Self-funded

Version Eden (May 26, 2019)

On some devices (in particular Xiaomi), extensions may be unloaded by the system when the device wants to optimize memory.
During the optimization, the device (Android) chooses what processes to disable.
In this new release of Kiwi: Kiwi indicates to Android that if Android wants more memory, it should try to avoid disabling the current active tab and the extensions.
If the extensions are disabled by Android, Kiwi will try to reload them.

List of HTTP queries used in the browser:
- search.kiwibrowser.com tells you what is the closest google.com server (google.fr/google.de/google.it)
http://search.kiwibrowser.com/searchdomaincheck?format=domain&type=chrome
This is a speed reason, if you go directly to google.fr rather than google.com and then google.fr it's faster, and the browser caches this information
- update.kiwibrowser.com is to download the ad blocking list ( http://update.kiwibrowser.com/service/update2 ), yes it needs to download it from somewhere.
Brave downloads it from AWS for example. I do have the same: a text file with a list of filters
- suggest.kiwibrowser.com is a 302 to Google autocomplete (and DuckDuckGo for some users who are beta-testing Bang support)
If you change your search engine, even to the baked Google one, you won't get connected to suggest.kiwibrowser.com at all as far as I know.
At the end of the day, I need to send the query somewhere, there is no choice.
Whether Google, or DuckDuckDuck if you want Suggest, it *has* to ask a server somewhere.
You can turn Suggest off, or send Suggest to your favorite search provider by adding or selecting it.

Hello !
I'm not reporting any issue, it's just a comment to let you know that I just downloaded and tested the app on 2 different phones, and it works very well !
There is a bit less animations compared to Brave Browser or Chromium (or maybe they're faster), but it is a bit faster on a Honor 5C.
But it seems that the big difference appears on low end devices : on an old KitKat device, it is way smoother than Brave Browser in scrolling...
Otherwise, thanks for this awesome app ! The night mode is very convenient.
Would it be possible to keep it activated after closing the app ?
I mean, the app remembering that the night mode was on for next time you use it ?
Hello,
Thanks for the nice words about the speed :victory:
I totally see what you mean about the night mode.
The night mode resets on relaunch in order to avoid incoherence (half is in night mode, half is in day mode and that looks quite ugly)
I'm sure there is a way to improve that, once it's improved, then I can remove the reset
I'll ping you on progress,
Just tested it for a few minutes on my most visited sites. With adblocking on, theverge.com doesn't show it's site logo and navigation bar. Hope you could fix that. Thanks. Nice and fast browser.
Noted, I'll fix theverge.com during the week and update you (and also remove this horrible cookie box )
Hello, Google fvcked up full screen video on canary. It doesn't work correctly since months on multiple roms. It just fails to hide the nav bar and status bar. This issue is also there on ur browser and even though it's not ur fvck up, I'd like to ask, if u can try to fix it. I have a OnePlus One currently on LOS 15.1 Oreo. The screenshot is from the video that popped up first when I launched YouTube.com but it is like that on any website.
To get even more crazy, is there anyway to bring back the URL bar at the bottom?
I think I know what it is,
Can you go to chrome://flags in the address bar
and set "New Media Controls" (#enable-new-media-controls) to "Disabled" ?
If that works, then I know what to change by default
I closely followed development of these new media controls (I am working on gestures for media playing), and they seem to be very buggy so I wouldn't be surprised if they were the cause of the fullscreen not ok.
Note: maybe it's not related to media controls, but I strongly suspect it.
Let me know if this solves the problem,
Btw, yes of course I want to fix it that's a major thing
The more I read the answer, the less I'm sure it's the cause
Let me know, I'm very curious on that one if disabling the modern media controls solves it.
Otherwise I'll find a way to reproduce.
Extremely fast and nice :good:
I don't know if it's possible, but any way to bring this kind of tabs?
extension support like yandex will benefit
Nice to see another Chromium fork, especially from my own country! ?
I have some suggestions though:
1) Please consider open-sourcing the browser for trustworthiness and copying (the more forks we have, the better they get)
2) Do consider enabling the flags in chrome://flags instead of target arguments, that would bring an easy overview of what is already enabled and what isn't.
3) I'm not sure how much you changed the ad blocking compared to the built-in one, but the menu has an option "Hide annoying ads" - would it be possible to hide all ads instead?
Is there any way to hide the status bar.. As shown in the screenshots of the browser??
I can't begin to express how much I love this browsers. It is fast, really really fast, like puffin fast. I don't know what you did but its too damn good. I have struggled to get a good browsers which offers the perfect blend of speed adblocking and ui and kiwi provides just that. It didn't took 10 min to make me fall in love with it. The adblocking works as charm. I do have adaway for ads but the cosmetic filtering is what i wanted for ages. Really keep up the good work.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3) hide annoying ads is probably cosmetic filtering, it hides the blocked ad banner its per site option like in brave. Not sure what you mean, are u asking to rename?

I don't think so, its mostly rom feature called expanded desktop.

If it really is what you claim it to be, yes, a rename would make sense too. For example, "hide ad placeholders".
Otherwise I expected it to be Adblock Plus-style where some ads are whitelisted.

fvck yeah
I'm working on that at the moment (along with Speed Dial and tons of fixes).
The main reason why it's not done yet is that during the switch from Chrome Home to Chrome Duplex, Google moved the code all over the place and refactored almost everything, so it's not just "reviving" the feature, but really to reimplement it.
It's planned, I have a very big (and slippery) phone, and I broke it because of no Omnibox at the bottom (my phone is more slippery than a soap bar).

I have tried, it doesn't render well because the space taken is huge, but it is on the list.
I'll upload some screenshots next week I guess
