I just tried this rom and it is awesome. Everything seems to be running great except I am having trouble with some websites. Some sites automatically kill and revert back to my homepage. Is anyone else experiencing this? Only seems to happen on the stock browser. Dolphin worked fine but i prefer stock. I love everything about this rom and hate to change back. Thanks for any help.
You have to change your browser. Seems your stock isn't support the website which you mentioned.
Hey all, I am currently running CyanogenMod 9 on my Sensation and want to upgrade to bruce2728's Jelly Bean ROM. I just want to know before erasing everything whether Google Chrome still has graphical glitches on the current (January 9) version of the ROM, as I rely on the tabs and bookmarks sync of Chrome and it being graphically glitchy would be a deal breaker.
Thanks in advance!

Bruce has clearly written that it is a Known Bug.

Try the internet explorer that is already in his rom

Glitch isn't that bad-- it's still usable 90% of the time. Really only becomes a problem when the glitch affects the keyboard.
Why so fixed on Chrome? I went Chrome since getting my Sensation-- it wasn't until half a year later that I tried the stock browser and realized how much faster it is. If you have a need for proper rendering and html5 compliancy, you could always use Opera. Don't know if it has issues with the rom.
Unless you're needing Chrome for its crossplatform capabilities, there are other solutions if the stock browser doesn't suit you. Maybe Firefox works.
Hi all folks.
I am wondering which web browser you are on.
And the point if you have adobe flash fully supported.

Running stock (which comes with cm10.1) and boat browser. Both are great, I just like to have a backup if some pages won't work properly. Everything flash related works just fine on both, boat maybe a tad better - I installed the latest ICS flash player *.apk, it's somewhere here on XDA - I could upload mine if you don't find it.
Thanks for pointing me in right direction.
Just have flash apk and found it somewhere on xda.
Now i am using stock rom on T-mobile software, which I am very happy.
Sometimes testing Opera 15 beta, but since doesnt support flash sites, wondering if to remove it.
Before I tried chrome (after using a while it was over 90 MB!!!) but was not fast enough.
So any other web browsers you have?
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.

It works now but only on some videos.
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.
Hi all.
I just got a Skyrocket mostly since I am not interested in the newer models. I was wondering, I really like the stock browser. I don't feel the need of getting for example Chrome or Firefox, and I read that the stock browser is sometimes even faster than the other browsers. But the latest supported official rom for this phone is the 4.1.2. I verified and this is the version of the stock browser, and is my understanding that the stock browser is not automatically updated on this phone (or in Android in general?). On the desktop if you have an outdated browser is a potential security risk. Is this the same in Android? Even though I like the stock one, should I use another since there doesn't seem to be any updates for this? This is based on the fact that I would not like to install a custom rom and stay with the 4.1.2. Thanks!
