Anyone running the newest version of Opera just released the last couple of days? I had been loving Opera as my browser of choice on my Charge, but the newest update slowed it to a crawl. Am I the only one or is this a RAM issue on the Charge? Any settings to fix it or a way to roll back to the previous version? Thanks
Running Samsung Charge rooted stock.
I use dolphin as my main browser, but still have a use for opera. I use the old version though because it can browse the local file system and save passwords on sites that don't allow it. I hate the new update because it makes it just another flavor of webkit and removes those unique features, making it just another chrome/dolphin/UC/boat etc.
I used titanium to revert to the old version so I can upload the apk if you want.

Thanks a ton, I'm definitely a noob to the root and completely forgot about using titanium to revert it. It's a feature I hadn't used before and was able to get it back. Thanks a ton for the help and the apk offer.

hey switched to vegan beta 3 from tnt lite 3.1.1. to try it out. i switched to vegan beta 3 instead of 4 because it seems to be more stable right now. from what i've been reading, beta 4 still has a few issues that still coming up. anyway, i really like the vegan rom since it's really close to my nexus s in appearance which i really love, but the market has not updated to the new one. is this because of the beta 3 rom or another reason. how can i get the new market back.
also, sometime when i open up a flash site, i get a little grey square with a green arrow before the flash loads. i believe that's a setting thing so that i can choose to run the flash. how do i get rid of that so that it does it automatically?
i'm running this flash player apk
Adobe Flash Player 10.1.120.1-fixed.apk
Not sure if it's fixable (or you even want it to be fixable). It's basically telling you that it's ready to run, but doesn't actually load.
I've seen this on sites like cnn, where the video and ads are both using Flash. I actually prefer this, so that way I don't have to auto-load Flash ads. But I don't know how to turn it off.
hey roebeet, thanks for the reply. i really like the vegan beta 3. thanks for providing that to us. also, was the sd card delete fixed on beta 4 already or is it still doing that. that's probably the only reason i have not installed that.
also, how do i get the new market to show up with this beta 3 or do i need to change to beta 4 for that?

If you are using the default vegan browser, just go to more, setting, enable plugins and set it to always. Actually, I like to set IP on demand since it is faster to load some pages. I also,use dolphin browser and I set it to always, so when I watch NFL, YouTube, hulu, I,will,use dolphin instead.

Yep. That did the trick. Now if I could only figure out how to get my market to update to new one.

Thanks in adavance

Zip it and the upload it as an attachment, see attachment below
okay thank you, really looking forward to using this on the asus! as it should be way better then stock browser.
Mines rooted... still won't install.
Moved it to the /system/apps directory and still no go.
Tried the /data/apps directory too and still nothing.
Boo, this would be cool if it would work.
you think someone can modified the apk to get it work? atleast on tablets.
It's most likely not going to work because that version of chrome is assumingly optimised for Intel chips and Google TV boxes only at the moment.
It will come for Android devices eventually though
wow that really sucks, it would've been awesome to see it working on tablets.
The built-in browser is essentially Chrome but without plug-in support.
It could be, but chrome is 10x better then the stock browser. everytime I use the stock browser it crashes.

by this, do you mean the desktop version? because if it is, then you might be comparing apples and oranges.
but comparing apples to apples, chrome and the stock browser does use the same rendering engines. the actual apps are merely shells for the rendering engine. if you want to try another webkit browser, try dolphin.
and if you want to try something else, try opera (very good browser).
anywho, if you find that the apk doesn't work, i bet it has framework dependencies that are only in that specific version of honeycomb. try uploading the entire rom, and maybe someone might be able to figure out what else it needs.

Thanks for the reply, but no I wasnt talking about the Desktop version that would be even better lol im comparing it to the google tv and the stock on the transformer. i've been using the latest Chrome since I update the unit(Google tv) and it hasnt force close or crash once. it works very well.
I installed a Chrome Beta apk I got from some of the other forums here at XDA, but I seem to be getting FCs every time I launch the app, was wondering if anyone got it working or if anyone has found a fix for this issue.
It requires hw acceleration. Won't work for us yet until we get that achieved.

That makes sense, I did manage to download an apk that does not FC every time, but I can't really says it's usable.
Here's hoping the CM9 team or some other dev manages to make it work someday.

I got it directly from the market and it loads but all pages are blank.

I can't download it from the market since I don't live in the US, but I get the same results as you, it loads but all pages are blank, and I can see the synced results on the omnibox but no page returns.
I have it installed. No FC's, but it doesn't work. As stated, it needs hardware acceleration. It went through the entire setup, sign in, and import of all normal information. But when you try to load anything, you stare at a blank screen.
have u try texasice' ROM, igoogle chrome beta work great with ICS AOSP

Update to 1.4.2 fixes Chrome beta so you may want to give it a go.
I tryied once downloaded from dropbox and it works fine but a little slow

Just upgraded to ics last night from stock rooted gb though kies. Have not rerooted yet.
The first thing i noticed was i lost flash player support on a streaming page i go to a lot. So i updated the Adobe flash and it loaded up in the webpage but after a few seconds of skipping sound and video it freezes.
I've tried another browser chrome which didn't load. Made sure it wasn't internet connection speed by using both wifi and LTE.
Anyone know if there's anything to try or a fix? I know adobe stopped supporting it or something so maybe it's not compatible with newer android firmware?

I know that adobe support for flash on chrome will no longer work at all and android support in general is over. but i've heard that guys are still able to load their tibu backups of flash and get them to work in dolphin, so maybe try that. i don't have any flash problems yet, but im running skyics by seanz
Wow i just tried dolphin and it worked smooth as butter! Thanks! Guess the browser just sux lol.
Side question though, I've never flashed roms, only rooted phones and i read about people flashing so often. Do your apps or settings etc. Transfer over or do you start fresh every time and have to set it all up?
I am thinking one day i might try that but if i don't like it i don't wanna go back and have to have a complete do over.

Usually you have to do a full wipe, which means losing all your apps. But, it shouldn't matter if you have Titanium back up. And most launchers have back up settings, so there wouldn't be too many things you would have to re-setup. Just remember your Gmail pw( which none of my friends do when I help them flash a rom >.<)

The G2 (AT&T) stock Browser supports Adobe Flash Player. Just go to Adobe's Archived Flash Player versions and download the latest version under Android 4.0. It didn't work on the Galaxy S4 4.2.2 stock browser so I thought it was worth mentioning.
Remember this works only on the stock Browser. It does NOT work in Chrome. Chrome does NOT support Flash!
And make sure that the option Enable plug-ins is set to Always on in the Browser Settings.
Very nice. I'm jealous. The Verizon version only has Chrome, no stock browser.

Verizon and their stuff....
I love Chrome but sometimes I just NEED to see websites that include Flash content and its awesome to have the option to see them if needed.
If you're on Verizon you can still get the AOSP Browser and add Flash. I just did it, but I'm rooted and I don't know if it would work on non-rooted phones or not.
Install the [ROOT]AOSP Browser Installer from the Play Store. Ignore the warnings and have it install the AOSP Browser. Then go into your App maager and remove [ROOT]AOSP Browser Installer just to clean things up. You'll now have the stock browser that works fine.
Then just follow the instructions in the OP to install Flash. Works great.

On my Verzion G2 there is no LG browser... just Chrome (which won't use Flash). Other versions of the G2 use the AOSP browser. You can have multiple browsers on the same device... no problem.

Does Capture Plus work with this browser?
Also, I've been using Dolphin Browser and it seems to support all my flash needs as well give it a try.
Does International version support flash?
Another workaround (Works on Verizon)
I also have got this to work with Dolphin Browser on my LG G2 Verizon flavor.
Doet the aosp browser from the play store have the PIE controls you can swipe in from the left? I hate having that adressbar popping up when I scroll up.
I tried the aosp installer last week, but didnt get it to work. Also tried some other ways of pushing it, but then broke the default browser in the progress. Dont want to reflash my rom again, but if it can get me the PIE controls I will keep trying it.
I've got the international version and the browser seems to have lots of bugs. Double tapping a column of text doesn't always resize it or align it with the screen properly, after a week my bookmarks disappeared and refused to come back so I had to do a factory reset, now the top and bottom bars no longer auto hide. I like the browser because it has extra features not found in Chrome but it feels like a beta product. I'm going to give dolphin and firefox a go.
Hi there... I have a new D800 and am trying to get flash installed by following the above tips. Even though I've tried several times, it's not happening. Could someone please tell me which flash version in the archived list you were able to get working using the default browser, unrooted, on the AT&T G2?
Thanks.... I am very hard of hearing and need to be able to watch the ASL videos online.

Thank you !!

Awesome. I had assumed that the stock player would have flash plugin installed, and when I tried to open a site with flash, was surprised to find that it couldn't handle it. Now I am able to. Thanks for the info.
AWESOME! Just wish I had seen this over the weekend when I was trying to watch college football on CBS while on my way to my outlaws! I couldn't get flash to work on anything.
I'm on Verizon and I just installed the Flash for Android 4.0 and this browser:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.android.browser
and Dolphin and both work just fine with Flash sites and the G2 has enough power to actually handle it. I have a feeling it would destroy battery life if used too much but for times when you need it, it's great to know it works, for now.
Not sure how many of you are Sprint users; but there was a software update released for the Sprint G2 last week that apparently (at least for my slightly disgusted experience) has REMOVED the flash capability from the built-in browser. Can anyone confirm?
Stock Browser KitKat
Verizon KitKat is missing stock browser, of course. Tried using the stock LG Browser from JellyBean, but it FC's. Does any variant have LG Browser on KitKat? If so, could someone please post the APK + ODEX files?
Good information.
