Browser with Quick Controls on 4.4? - Moto X Themes and Apps

Hello,
Does anyone know of a browser with quick controls that will work on Kitkat? I'm not rooted. I'd love to use AOSP browser on my Moto X but the workaround I found only works for 4.3.
Thanks!

You can download 'android browser' from the play store. has quick controls and is AOSP as far as I can tell.. I'm on 4.4 and it works fine for me. I am rooted but I dont think it requires root.

Sorry for the thread revive - but I can't seem to fine "Android Browser" on Play. Has it been removed?
My tablet just upgraded to KK and I've lost my favorite JB compatible browser with Quick Controls. Looking for an alternative if there is one - any current ideas?

I ended up using Dolphin Browser. Although it doesn't have quick controls it allows for quick access to bookmarks by swiping from the left side of the screen. Dolphin is OK although it tends to lose connectivity over Wifi.
I have Android Browser on my Nexus 5 which does have quick controls but unfortunately there's no bookmark sync yet.

I had yesterday flashed cloudy Flex 2.2 (4.4.2) on my LG G2, ...when I saw that the Android Browser doesn't work, I'm gone back to 4.2.2...:fingers-crossed: WITHOUT ANDROID BROWSER ??? Not with ME!

Maxthon HD has what might be quick. Quick access/favorites.

Try Lightning Browser or Javelin Browser if you want quick access to bookmarks.

Dolphin and 2.2 - Auto-closes?

Is it just me or do Dolphin and Dolphin HD both auto-close immediately when trying to do something?
Anyone have an older version that works?
Yep, its not compatible. Give it some time, the dev's will fix it soon I'm sure.
Damn, I'm coming from Desire and I loved the browser on there.
I can not STAND having the status bar visible while browsing websites.
Is there a way to hide it?

[Q] Dumb Q: how to get "home" on stock browser?

This is gonna sound dumb but is there a "home" button that I don't see on the stock browser???
How do i get "home" after surfing a bunch of pages?
The only one I know of is on the top right of the Bookmarks screen

Can't you open a new tab, and that is your homepage? Thats what I do.
thank you both for those suggestions, they will work for me.
alternatively, from from the quick menu via the sides, hit the bookmark and it'll be on the upper right of the bookmark screen

yes, enable the quick access menu from the Settings of the stock browser. That will give you buttons like: forward&back&reload, bookmarks, new tab, etc. Basically if you open a new tab that will have your home page.

Default Desktop Mode for stock browser?

Is there a mod that makes the stock ICS browser launch in desktop mode? I love the stock browser but hate having to manually change from mobile profile to desktop.

Just use ICS Browser + from the market. It's free and is exactly like the stock browser but with additional setting like changing the useragent.

I believe you can type "about:debug" into the address bar then open settings and change the default user-agent to a desktop system.
Sent from my Inspire 4G
As mentioned above search for ICS browser + on the market, sorry I mean play store. Exactly the same as stock but with added features with one being the ability to change user agent in settings which will keep it that way
There is a free and donate version.
There is also another variant called Quick ICS browser, again its the same as stock but with a few extra features. Personally I prefer ICS browser + over this one but give them both a test drive see which one you prefer

Jup!
The Stock Browser on Team Rouges unofficial CM9 Release has now the option to change the user agent.
Settings -> Advanced -> User Agent -> Desktop
I'm very happy about this !
Brilliant, one less app for me to install

I'm not sure how this important mod slipped through the crack. Should be easy enough as we had it on the Honeycomb builds.
THIS would be a killer-feature in Team EOS Release too !!!
...maybe also ADB under developer-settings ???

Look for ua string in the next couple days. As for adb wireless, its a maybe. Its sorta popular but meh. I wrote it for our honeycomb builds so its a easy mod. Ill ask solarnz about it. But really, ssh over wifi is far better.
We never use stock launcher so it is somewhat neglected. Ill see if I can hide search. Seems I've heard of that mod before.

Dolphin V11 downgrade

Dolphin Browser V11
I've used this for years as it was the only browser design which understood the notion that the only thing in a browser you need quick access to is your bookmarks and the easier and faster you can get there the better. Dolphin was the only browser where you could do a quick lazy swipe to view all your bookmarks, and swipe back quickly if you'd changed your mind. They've also remove right swipe to get easy access to pluggins.
No, I hear you say, this must be a joke, surely they wouldn't the only option which set themselves apart from all other browsers, possibly the best feature of any browser out there?
add your thoughts to this:
https://www.facebook.com/DolphinFans/posts/661023360617620
Yup, they've employed Steve Balmer...
I got V10.3 from http://www.androiddrawer.com/, not sure if that was the last version before 11, but it is good enough for now. Word to the wise, export your bookmarks BEFORE you uninstall V11. If anyone has a version history of Dolphin for Android, or a higher numbered version 10 Dolphin browser for Android, speak up. Reminds me of how Opera ruined their Mini browser years ago when they went from V4 to V5 and adopted a "unity" (barf) type gui..... tears of sadness...
best i could find was 10.2x - still looking.
http://dl.game-keren.com/march_2014/Dolphin Browser v10.2.8.apk
EDIT: Found it now same place you did.
Agree. V11 is a usability downgrade.
The quick left swipe for bookmarks was the selling point for me. This feature is very helpful for more recent mobiles with big screen.. now they made it into 2 steps which kinda kill the point.
The floating 'circle' for menus..that I hated as well as I often accidentally touch it..but I could still live with that. Now they removed the left-swipe bookmarks. OK ..Chrome it is for now unfortunately!
swipe
Definitely want to see both left and right swipe functions reinstated
agree with OP quick access has gone

Here is the link with flash player enable inside. This is the 10.3.1 dolphin browser. Enjoy
sent from s4
I may be alone in this, but the only reason I want to downgrade was because of how you type in URLs now. With V10 you could type at full speed and hit enter, but now you have to carefully do one letter at a time and trying to type at full speed is a waste of time. Switched to Chrome and after messing with a few hidden settings, it's now as fast, if not faster than Dolphin ever was.
I agree with you the new broswer got messed up. For some reason the dev did update which no one like it and made it complicated hopefully we will get more update soon
sent from s4
just found out you can jump straight to your bookmarks by clicking on the URL bar, isnt as elegant as a swipe but is you have invested in Dolphin and done want to move to another browser its a decent enough workaround. Still no easy access to addons I can see though. Numpty Developers should be sacked !
hopefully if enough of us hammer this they change it back.
https://www.facebook.com/DolphinFans/posts/661023360617620
V11 is such a downgrade.
What I liked about the old bookmark bar was it let you get there without having to look. Now you have to look and aim for the specific location to get to bookmark.
Left & right side bars, shiny shake, desktop toggle, and gesture button at corner were all I needed. Now they've made each and every one of them worse. I can't believe their designers didn't even realize what made their browser special...
U know thats what I was thinking atleast they should have read comments. But must admit dolphin browser is one of the best browser just not the v11. Hope we will get all this back on next version

V11.0.1 is out. The bookmark bar can now stay at 1st level.
But other GUI layout still suck.

Music work for me too but Quick Music didn't work. You can use other players to play music and control with Quick Music.
In Android 5 they change some functions and you didn't have control of other player.

oops I meant QuickMusic (I use Google Play for music, so I use QuickMusic a fair bit) - in 20A none of the third party apps work, but when I flashed 20C I tested them all and everything (except hide settings) was working fine, at least for me anyway.

Try this to make QuickMusic work. Try opening it once from quickcircle menu (case closed). Then OPEN quicknotifications. If it's the first time, you will be asked to open the case, do it. Now you are in "Notification access" menu. Is there "QuickMusic"? Select it and it should work now with your preferred music app (using Spotify here without problems).
ATM I have no option to check it myself - does QuickCircle from this zip work with CM12, or there's no chance for that?
doesn't work for me, cm12 d851. When I click go to settings it forcecloses
Sorry for being away for such a long time, I sold My G3 for a Note 3, and now I'm back!

Its because this mod is made for STOCK firmware (LG's one, with "quick circle" in settings).
--> CM12 is not based on LG firmware, so quick circle doesn't actually work on CM/AOSP ROMs

Welcome back yoavst. I've been keeping an eye on your app on the gpad forum.
I have a request, if it's ok.
Is it possible to add xdabbebs XCam to your quick circle app please?
XCam is a great app but I find I take 80% of my pictures with the quick circle case closed, so have gone back to using the stock camera.
Thanks in advance.

What's the problem with stock camera on QCircle?
My App for G Pad, won't win, Since Android Wifi-Direct API sucks, and Bluetooth is damn too slow.
So it will probably work for me only

There's nothing wrong with the stock camera as such.
I'm a novice at picture taking.
I just see that I can get nicer looking pictures with XCam. Especially when used with the paid app.
Good luck in the competition,the gpad is a very underrated device and it really deserves some love.
LG really should have built upon it this year too, instead of releasing those 3 mediocre tablets.
Hello,
