I'm looking for a text only browser that doesn't provide the option to view images or videos. All the ones I've come across allow you to view the webpage as "normal" (ie, show images) if you choose.
I need something that doesn't provide this option and only shows text, nothing else.
If nothing like that exists, does someone want to build me an app that can do this? I'm assuming it would be relatively easy. It doesn't need to be fancy...
Opera mini.... You can switch off javascript and images & objects

Any idea how to get web pages to have white text with black background? Like a theme, or browser app that allows this. I really like reading stuff that way.

Still would like to know the answer to this one. The option exists in every computer browser i've ever seen, it's built into windows, I'm sure the mac has it, but never heard of it for smartphones. It's a shame because, it's so much easier on my eyes, and saves battery on our amoled devices. NubiNews has the option for my google reader sites, but i really would like this for the whole internet.
Every app that has that option aka "night theme, or black theme or dark theme" i turn it on asap.

Impossible to do with current browsers.
The best bet is to use Firefox Mobile and wait until addons are enabled / the browser is good enough to use for daily use.
Oh ok option doesn't exist yet. Developers if you are listening, lots of people would like this feature.

Stock browser on CM6 have this option called 'Invert color' under settings.
Hence white text with black background ~
High contrast CSS (cascading style sheet) for Opera and other mobile browsers.
The following CSS is optimized for the Nook Simple Touch, and the provided directions are for the same. If you have a different mobile device, you should be able to figure out what to do based on these instructions.
Directions:
Rename user.css.txt to user.css
plug in your nook
copy the user.css to your nook. I suggest putting it inside of the "My Files/" directory.
in Opera, type opera:config in the URL bar
Go under "User Prefs" to find the "Local CSS File" option, or use the quick search to search for it.
Change the "Local CSS File" to "/media/My Files/user.css" Use the "Back" button to navigate UP to the root in the filesystem hierarchy.
Exit opera (in order to do so, enable the "Exit" button in "Settings->Advanced" from the Opera "O" dropdown menu)
This CSS file is validated with the W3C CSS validation service and validates as
CSS level 2.1.
Problems:
After installing this user.css file, opera:config seems to get screwed up. I
think this is because the CSS file kills background images.
The solution to this is to copy over a blank user.css file. Alternatively, you
can exit Opera, adb shell to the device, and remove
/data/data/com.opera.browser/opera/opera.ini
Haven't been able to find any info regarding this. Is there a way to save pictures off the internet to your gallery? The standard web browser doesn't seem to have much in the way of those type of options, if it can't be done with the standard does someone know another browser that does? I'd like to be able to save photos I find on the web for backgrounds without having to continuing connect the Tab to my PC and transfer photos over.
Thanks
It can be done in Opera 11. Just long press the picture and a box pops up allowing the download (but only to internal SD that I could tell.)
Netfront life browser let you cut and save anything in the browser. I haven't tried it but remember reading it.
Dolphin has the long press option too. I use it for my anatomy physiology research. I make digital flash cards from Google image searches. I like dolphin because it lets me select my download location. I can make a new directory then select it in dolphin as my download location while I'm hunting body parts then switch it back to standard download folder when I'm done. Makes it easy to keep organized with this functionality.
I use the Dolphin HD browser too and find it works well for saving pictures and all around works better than the stock browser.
On another note, I do hope that Mantara gets those Honeycreams!
Thanks for the reply's! Dolphin sounds good, I'll check that out.
Alright, so this use is very specific and I'd be surprised if there is an app that could do what I need but I'm going to try anyway.
I have a RSS feed where each new article has a PDF attachment - in fact, the RSS feed is to get this particular periodical which is released in the PDF format.
I've tried a couple of RSS readers and they sync the new post but not the PDF file. I want to be able to download PDF files from the reader and either read it in the reader or open it using another PDF reader.
Are there any RSS readers which can download attachments?
I don't know about Metro-style apps, but the built in RSS feature of IE can do file download links. It's not the best of interfaces (by a considerable margin), though. Outlook's reader may suit you better except it's not available for RT.

I didn't know that IE had an RSS feature. I'll check that out. Thanks!

Thanks! This worked out fine. I was able to subscribe to the RSS feed and select "Download attached files" in the options. This worked perfectly for me.
The non-touchiness (did I just make up a word?) is an issue but once I had the setup, I don't ever need to look at the feed itself. I can just look at the folder where files are downloaded and other stuff happens in the background.
Thanks again!
One more question though - is there a way to specify the location of the downloaded attachments in IE? By default, it stores attachments in /temp/Internet/ ... blah. I was able to pin this folder to the start menu for easy access but it would be nice to tell IE where to store the attachments.
Any help here would be appreciated.
You're welcome! I'm glad that worked out for you. Yeah, IE has actually had an RSS/ATOM feed reader since version 7, but it's gotten more and more hidden with each release (back in IE7, you could select options like having it play a sound when a feed was discovered, for example). IE10 has improved the reader a bit, but it's still kind of hidden.
I didn't find a way to specify where to deliver the downloaded files, sadly. The best option I know of is to use a directory symbolic link so that when IE thinks it's writing to the temp folder, it's actually writing to a more accessible location that you selected. However, setting up one of these requires using an admin command line, and carries some risk of messing things up. If you would like to do so anyhow, specify the full paths to your temp folder (where the downloads are going now) and the folder you want to put them in instead, and I'll give you a simple script to make it happen if possible, or at least tell you what you would need to do.
Thanks for the offer! Let me dig around a little bit more and if all else fails, I'll come back to you
[Q] flag pictures as "favorite" or to "reject" like in Adobe Lightroom
Hi there,
I spent already some time testing several "best" pictures organizers or photo viewers such as QuickPic, JustPictures etc. (the ones I found with some Google searching).
They all miss one feature I need: to flag a picture "to reject" and to flag as favorite with a simple gesture (not from the menu) (e.g. swipe up for positive/favorite, swipe down for negative/reject, or double tap to flag them, 3 taps to unflag or so...).
If you use Adobe Lightroom you already know how useful is to "flag" with the "P" (as favorite) and "X" (to reject) keys.
The feature is useful when you take many pictures of the same subject and need to go back and forward to select the best shot. You don't want to delete directly, you wanna mark many pictures as favorite and compare them later, same for the ones to reject. You mark many, you delete them all in the end without confirming to delete each one of them, but you answer only one time the "Are you sure?" question. Saves a lot of time.
Unluckily the apps I tested are all "old school"/"standard" (no fast way to mark to delete later), one must tap a top menu, then from a dropdown select "delete" and confirm each picture, or go to the gallery view and multi select the very small thumbnails from there, which is not practical at all if you need to see the full screen picture...
One app that was a bit better than the usual ones is the Sony Xperia "Album" app. It allows to select pictures from the thumbnails view and view them full screen without losing the selections when going back and forth.
But no app so far has a "flag" feature for positive(favorite)/negative(reject) like Lightroom. I've seen only "add as favorite".
Especially useful would be the ability to view (filter), in the end of the process, the flagged pictures as favorite, or the ones to reject (to delete them all at once).
I know there is Adobe Lightroom mobile, unluckily this is only for iOS.
If you know something like this please let me know.
Thank you and cheers.
I need to screenshot my full screen (not just app) of my txt messages. I have a LOT, so doing it manually will take way too long. I can't use the apps that do the scrolling screenshots of just the window, it has to be the full phone screen. I also can't use a simple export to a file as this is for a legal case and they will only accept full screen screenshots. I've been searching for something to do this, but no luck yet.
Any suggestions?
