Chrome Browser - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Does anybody know why the Chrome Browser isn't compatible with our phone. I am on CM7, could that possibly be why it isn't?

I'd recommend you don't use chrome. For me it was very laggy. The stock browser from cm9 is a lot better

Yea i downloaded it from the play store just a few days ago. There's no way to change the user agent too

I just uninstalled it.
It rebooted my phone 2 times because it froze loading a page. The stock browser is just fine.

That's funny, it's been really great for me. It's smoother and faster than the stock browser for me on AOKP. I never had a crash with it yet. The syncing feature with chrome on my desktop is also very convenient.

I used it on CM9, AKOP, and PA and well really was not all that impressed. It served OK as a browser but things like not being Flash compatible was it's undoing that lead me to uninstall it.

You know adobe is stopping support for mobile flash in august right?

I heard something about that, let's hope they change their minds. Because that would mean the end of Kongregat games and other mobile flash games.

Wait, I believe you can change the user agent. It's in the menu when you select "request desktop site"

It has no devoted "desktop" mode. you can select load desktop but only for that tab.

There is actually a version of chrome ported from Linux that runs smoothly on our phones. I will upload the link if you would like.
Update: Here is the link. http://www.4shared.com/android/yzdjL9Va/ChromeLinuxPort.html

There is, for a mobile software vendor, no point in Flash anymore
http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/flash-focus.html
http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2012/06/flash-player-and-android-update.html
There will be no certified implementations of Flash Player for Android 4.1.
Beginning August 15th we will use the configuration settings in the Google Play Store to limit continued access to Flash Player updates to only those devices that have Flash Player already installed. Devices that do not have Flash Player already installed are increasingly likely to be incompatible with Flash Player and will no longer be able to install it from the Google Play Store after August 15th.

Browser 2.3.6

Is anyone having issues with the browser in the official gb rom

Only on the deodexed version which is a little choppy.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
So on the non deodexed its fine
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I will look at it. I agree 100 percent.
I haven't had any issues with it and I use it a couple times a day
Hmm...maybe roms should just keep the non-deodexed version instead of the deodexed. I really don't like using 3rd party browsers because even if I set them as default, ill ALWAYS get that annoying popup.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Yes, my issue with the browser is this. The browser opens perfectly fine, I can even open any link available with no issue. Every time that I try to scroll at all though I am imediately brought back to my launcher home. Very frustrating indeed.
The stock browser absolutely SUCKS...use dolphin hd.

How about this.. Do you want to try the fix for the stock browser?
Attached is the framework.jar. I decompiled it, fixed the bug and recompiled.
It works perfectly fine on my device running kj6 stock deodexed.
Basically you need to overwrite the file in /system/framework/ and reboot.
I would strongly suggest backing up before you try it so you can just restore if it bootloops.
Let me know if you try it... thanks.
Your fix works great!

Of course, but you will still need some sort of a file manager to move it to the right location. The file itself is good to go.

would this remove all other tweaks and such that involves tweaking framework.jar? probably huh?
that sucks
what file manager/explorer do I use to r/w the file.

Please help! Website videos now working

I am having issues running website videos on my S3. Some work but others do not. The most recent is Gametrailers. I rooted my phone but I haven't done anything beyond that. I am pretty sure this is a new issue and can't figure it out. I reinstalled flash player and rebooted my phone. Any advice would be great!

This happends to me all the time when I'm on an ics rom. I had to go back to cm7 for flash.
Eventhough I installed flasg on ics it seems to work half the time.
Its just a flash issue since tgey decided to drop support.
.,I don't think there is a fix for this yet .

Uh Oh, No Flash Player ICS?

So for android 2.0 and above there was "Adobe Flash Player11" you could download and easily use from the google play store, but there no longer supporting above android 4.0. any other way to get flash player for the browser?
Read The Description:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.flashplayer&hl=en
It's not really a huge deal. You can still install it, they're just not supporting it

it still doesnt work though cause i got paranoid android build 8 and its running android 4.0.4 so kinda is somewhat of a problem...
Flash even on gb can be buggy, so in a unofficial ics expect it to be worse.
Just go back to gb if it's a huge problem

Follow this guide Here.
If your device isn't supported by Adobe it's recommended you stay away from Flash since it's a RAM hog and slows down your browsing
I use to have it. It was downloaded from Google play and then one day it was gone.
