Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I was wondering if there is an android browser that handles touch and hover/mouseover the way safari does in iOS:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you try to use a website like John Lewis, or M&S, you will see that mouseover is used a lot to show menus, and touching the mouseover elements jumps you straight to a section you might not want. I'm aware of the workaround that involves touching the element and the sliding off it, but this is a horrible kludge of a workaround. Is there a browser that does this like Safari (above), which IMO is simply a lot better? Seems relatively straightforward (but I'm not a developer, so I wouldn't know).
So am I the only one who has problems with this issue? Judging by the deafening silence in response, I guess so. Which is wierd because it's enough to completely turn my other half off browsing the web with an Android tablet.

Hello...
I've been following a lot of these threads for a while and having decided on my ROM of choice (toms) and doing as much as i understand i've hit my wall when it comes to knowledge of the system! The background i use is quite light and makes it difficult to read the text under certain tabs like the Text tab and the twitter tab. Is there a way i can simply change the colour of the text?
Is there a way i can do it? i'm a quick learner
Thank you.
Here's my background... it's a picture from a walk i did a few months back and it looks great as a background with a few transparencies added withing the tabs.

I sort of found something here:

seemed a little complex, but i'll give it a go over my lunchtime..
Love having conversations with myself
I can't actually find the files on my HD2... can anyone help?
Looking through lots of threads it seems quite a difficult task!! is that why there are no other replies to this thread?
Here is what happens when long pressing on a link in the browser in order to see the URL:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The text is so ridiculously huge that it cuts off 90% of the useful part, even when viewed in landscape.
Is there any way to hack/modify the browser so that more of the URL is visible when long-pressing on a link? (Smaller font, and/or additional rows)
I was thinking of tweeting wysie but doubt he'd respond.
Try sending him a pm on xda, he will more than likely respond he's a cool guy
Alright, took your suggestion and PM'd Wysie. Here's what he said:
Hi Paul,
Actually I only made the full-screen and the hiding of zoom controls. The rest of the mods were probably done by @optedoblivion, you might want to check with him as well?
I'll look at your suggestion and see what I can do, no guarantees tho, been quite busy .
Thanks!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Doh. I'll see about PM'ing optedoblivion somehow...
the only thing i dont like is in the most recent update of the android app they added a 50 pixel bar at the top that totally wastes space. also the backwspace on the keyboard doesnt work wehn you press backspace on the dock keyboard
maybe its just because i have thumb keyboard set to my default intstead fo the asus defualt one.

the clipboard transfoers though. i uploaded that in the ics browser then copied the link from imgur and pasted it directly into the view app.
Why are you using a task killer, haven't people mentioned it enough?
The icon just hurts my eyes looking at it, just awful. You know where the problem is if your tablet starts acting up.
you could chose for ES task manager a bit more professional and a less trouble with freeze of tablet or mobile or with acting weird
I just discovered an extremely unique text entry method called dasher. It is extremely easy to use and it is Super fun to use. It is almost impossible to describe so i'm posting a screenshot of me typing this message.

What you do is steer each letter you want so that the letter you want passes at the cross on the virtical line, thus typing it. I find that allthough i tend to type slower then a regular keyboard, i am picking it up quite fast. I have only had this input for less then a day and i already am able to comfortably write this post!
It is still in beta, but it is based on version 3 on the computer.
Search dasher on the play store (it is free!) and learn more about it here: http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/dasher/
What do you all think?

Is there a such thing as a bluetooth keyboard designed for android that is about 8" wide and clips to a phone? (Like the way some gamepads do)
there used to be something like this for the s8
unfortunately it didnt sell. on european markets i did not find anything remotely similar. see the chinese market, maybe they made something like that.
I would think that with apps like Termux there would be a market. I can't see how anyone could do any coding or CLI with the on-screen keyboard. I can barely text with it.
Ok, I found something similar to what I'm thinking of:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But that's attached to the phone. It would be pretty simple for someone to make an 8" wide bluetooth keyboard with a smartphone clip on it. They made gamepads like that, odd I can't find a keyboard.
