Hi guys, i just wanna share this new webkit based browser with you (FYI the company is Korea based)
Its still at the very early stage of development, many major fucntions are missing, e.g. copy and paste.
But it loads web pages pretty fast, almost as fast as opera 10.
If you are interested to try just click the below link:
http://www.dorothybrowser.com/
Maybe we can post feedbacks on their blog to encourage the development. WM definitely needs another good webkit browser after iris browser developers ended up working for RIM.
Cheers
Yeah, it does load pages quite fast - but it doesn't reflow text (yet?), so it's not really usable yet...
lol - new internet browser discovered. I tried it for a couple of days about a year ago and hated it. They're still on the same beta version, so I'm guessing there hasn't been any change since then.
I'm just posting this as a warning for anyone that does like it. Don't expect any updates soon
This may be a totally noob question but how can I make an app from a webpage? If I create an html page with a bunch of links to other pages and soundclips, how hard is it to turn that into an app. I have no experience creating android apps and I don't know the android code either. Can someone let me know if there is an easy way to create an app from the web page with the type of skills I have. (Very basic)
I do know html so theres no problem in the creation of the page. My only question is in the creation of the app. Thank you in advance for any help.
Can anyone help?
why bother? why not just give them the link to your webpage?
also - given the limited space of a typical android device, a full web page wouldn't translate well to an app.
to answer your original question, it is very easy to create an app that is just a pile html links and sounds.
thank you very much
UPDATE:
We just released the RC build. If your previous version are on RC build, you will get auto-updated. Have fun!!
- Add bookmark as desktop shortcut
- Improve performance and battery usage
- Share page
- Find in page
- Expand menu to two pages
- Support geolocation
- Import/Export bookmark via SD
- Support App2SD
- Improve web-plugin discovery
- Add Korean/Italian/Triditional Chinese/Russian
-------------------------------------------------------------
These days are one of the most happy days of our team. With all the help, we released our i18n version and it is very well received. Now we have more users outside China than inside China Again, thank everyone esp. those provide language package and suggestions!!!!!
As I said, our journey just begin and you can expect many updates from us Ok for update target on 12/4.
- Find in page
- Share page
This feature is actually in right now. You have to long-press the address bar to get it. Apparently, this is bad UI. We are adjusting)
- Export/Import bookmark (FF/Chrome, etc)
Again, this feature is there as well. Just now it only work in a special directory. We will let you pick the directory where those bookmark files are
- YouTube related issues
We receive a lot of YT related issues. Please help us by being a bit more specific on your Android version and specific steps to reproduce. YT is blocked in China so it is very difficult to reproduce issues. Bear with us on this for a while.
- Refine translation and more languages
We plan on Korean and Russian
- i18n Top site
We need help here. Different country have its own top sites. We included the English one in the attachment. It should be fairly easy to understand.
"cat" means catagory. class: if equal("m") means site optimized for mobile device. otherwise means just vanilla www site (mostly pc experience)
We need your help to build for other language.
- App2SD support
Alright. This is a lot of work for us. So we may not finish everything...
Please
- Give us comment on more things need to fix
- New feature request
- Help on i18n on top sites and interface
- All other things))
I created http://groups.google.com/group/miren-browser for MIREN-only discussion.
Thanks everyone. We will TRY HARD!!!!!
Russian translation
I sent you russian translation about two weeks ago. You can find it here . So if you'll include it to the next build, I'll check strings and UI aswell.
Thank all your team for great job.
keep up the good work, this browser has quickly and easily became my favorite.
I made a Dutch (nl) Top Sites list, please include it in the next release .
On the Android Market I saw a comment on the browser in Dutch, and the comment is very negative. I've translated it to English:
"Very slow browser, many lags when loading links. I shouldn't recommend it. Samsung Galaxy S 2.2"
Maybe you can do something about it?
I think you should try to improve the overall Performance (scrolling, zooming etc.) because this is imho the biggest negative aspect of your browser.
But nice work, it has very much potential!
Why do you keep opening new threads. Keeping your updates to one thread is much more easier. I don't even see you replying to my question about the screen brightness issue in my previous post.
Here is link to it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9428813&postcount=11
i want this as default, but flash content renders over the address bar and it looks buggy and tacky. improve full screen settings. hasten loading times. and re-arrange text to zoom then im all in
Thanks for the feedback so far
Few points:
- We apologize if we didn't response fast enough. We will try to catch up
- Please suggest the best way to maintain a thread in XDA. We actually are very new to XDA and don't know the appropriate way. It seems not possible to change the Title of the original thread. Thus it is hard to tell we want to discuss a new RC instead of the old one. Anyway, please suggest. We want XDA members to try out new RC every one/two weeks and provide suggestions before it goes to market update.
- On performance. We are very serious about it. Please give us more specific steps so we can debug it out. Performance will be a main theme throughout our update cycle.
Yes, we got it thus why the RU version is possible.
Thanks again!

Cache to sd please. Or something. App is getting huge.

I'm having problems with flash playback. I get audio on videos posted to Facebook, but no visual. The same videos play great on the stock browser.
Flash on ESPN is very laggy.
I don't really have any of the performance issues that the others are talking about to be honest. I think the browser is actually very fast.
The one suggestion I would have is to highlight things when you are selecting them with your finger. This applies to the blue menu at the bottom of the screen and also to the bookmarks/history etc. When you click on an entry it should be highlighted, otherwise it looks like the screen has frozen.
Keep up the excellent work.
Feature request:
Saving web page as HTML or even PDF(Dolphin has thus .. )
We will support app2SD next week.

This is very important and should be made a priority, especially if it is a relatively simple coding task.
You got it!

Feature request:
When typing in a URL, have the address bar give a drop down that provides suggested URLs with a choice of common extensions (.com, .net etc). It would be awesome if you could also generate a list of choices based on your current location (e.g. if in Australia it would also suggest .com.au, or in china .com.cn)
But loving this browser already keep up the good work!
Hi,
Great Browser, I have two suggestions
1. Suggestions when searching
2. Bookmarklets (Javascript run as url). I use www.lastpass.com and they provide bookmarklets which will fill in log-in details. These work in Dolphin HD but not Miren. There are many other sites which produce bookmarklets for various reasons.
Thanks
1. should be implemented already. However a bug prevent suggestion showing. Should be fixed next week
2. We are investigating.

Hello,
I am looking for a Developer who can create an Android App/Service/Whatever for me to do the following task.
Since I have no expertise in Android Development I am very thankful for any help an will surely send some $ as compensation for the result.
TASK:
The App/Service/Whatever should be able to open up a webpage, perform a click on that page on a button (follow all redirections, parse and use javascript, use cookies) just act like a normal Browser, but completely invisible.
I dont want to see any Icon or UI Interaction. Maybe its possible to realize that only on Shell (Terminal) Level.
The Final Webpage's HTML-Code should be saved in a file on the FileSystem (/data/Whatever/page.html).
The App is only for me, my device is rooted and Running Android 4.4.1 .
I hope that someone can help me.
Hello) can suggest you http://mlsdev.com/en/

They are really the best company I used to work with!
Check out this app,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.itsjust140.news
It loads webpages. It caches those webpages so we can use the app offline. It's made by me. If you want something like this, I can do it.
