I saw this posted and decided to compile it for myself. Maybe some other people would like to try it out as well.

Firefox Focus for Android
Browse like no one’s watching. The new Firefox Focus automatically blocks a wide range of online trackers — from the moment you launch it to the second you leave it. Easily erase your history, passwords and cookies, so you won’t get followed by things like unwanted ads.

Updated as of: July 11th, 2018
Focus has switched to full Gecko rendering now - they also have aarch64 and ARM versions, so I have compiled one of each. Builds are debug again due to apk signing!
Downloads can now be found in the "downloads" tab of this project.

Thanks! I'm kind of not in the mood of testing both which is better right now. Can you tell me which version you'd recommend? Which is faster maybe?
edit: nvm, looks like i'm going to get the webview version

WebKit version is much faster.
Thank you very much. It still lacks a few things but overall, it's an interesting experience to play with.

Yeah it seems like it's still in early days. If you look at the git log they are going to be adding Sync soon, and possibly tabbed browsing. I love the look and feel of it though!

Two actions that I tried to do was open something in a background tab and also share a picture. Couldn't do either. I'm hoping that this can be successful as a more lightweight and privacy centric version of the main browser.

Yeah the options are very limited. You can share a page via the menu and open in another browser... but that's pretty much it right now. I do have to stay it's *very* fast in benchmarks with Webkit though, which is promising.
Updated the WebKit version.
Some of the changes include showing the number of blocked objects on the current page, as well the trashcan icon in the taskbar is now the Focus icon (Firefox logo).
Seems like they are changing things often. I've put a request for them to add some sort of versioning in their commits so we know if anything has changed.
Didn't the Gecko version get any love?

I can update the gecko version if you want it's just not as fast as the WebKit version.
[Edit]: I've updated all versions, including a new "beta" APK with some of the debug code removed. Note that there is only a "beta" release for the WebKit version at this time.
I have to say it's a very smooth browsing experience! I installed the WK beta version. Compared to traditional Firefox, this feels lighter and butter smooth, even though there are features missing. Very interesting how it'll turn out.
Thanks for these builds.
The WebView version does not have an independent engine though, it's basically just another Android WebView browser, and it will crash immediately without some form of WebView installed.
why its show black screen? should i uninstall the old one before install this version?

Same here. ^^
What command did you use to build the webkit beta apk?
We already have Firefox browser on play store by Firefox team. So what is the difference in this one ? Is this an updated version comming for the old Firefox ?
Sorry for the noob question
Webkit beta apk there is a problem parsing the package error
Tried on core prime 4.4.4
Please bro.la you can repair.It always says analysis error when installing on Android 7.0

Not 100% sure, but this loads faster on mine. I "overclock" to slow to save battery haha but I didn't notice a difference running hr3. I've been going back and forth trying to get what I need. The blue lock screen overlay is actually the MAIN reason I am doing this. Stupid, huh?
Key factor may be that I DID update the radio.
I did leave out superuser, spare parts, and anything else that can be installed normally for those who don't want them. I change my mind about apps hourly so I try to keep default installs as clean as possible to avoid troublesome adb commands.
This sounds very intersting. Does it include the Exchange integration from the 5.0H build?
This is EXACTLY what I've been waiting for... soon as you get locked down which apps ur keeping, I'm on it.
Sounds great twisted. I'm in love with 5.0.2H because of the mail app and pdfviewer. Yesterday I stepped up to ADP1.5 and although it was fast, it's missing these key components that I use daily. I look forward to you app log.
This is really interesting. I can't wait to hear(read) thee results. Lol

It currently has the 5.0.2 exchange. I saw no point in taking it out. I don't use it but I know it's far easier to remove system components like that than it is to implement them once an update is installed.
So far I see no real difference in Gmail. Mail seems to crash for me in 1.5 with something about a Plus account - looks like 5.0.2 mail stays. Maps and Market will be updated because I see no reason not to.
Any thoughts on Gmail? Anyone see any updates worth having?
Can you put the H build camera in the build instead of the 1.5.3 camera? The HTC camera was far superior than the google implementation. That's all I can think of so far

H camera crashed when using the camera button. The one I'm using is the one from the "add features to 5.0.xH" thread. Seems to be the most stable and all you really lose is zoom. Forgot to take out additional HTCAlbum, though. Planning to fix this and some other updates when I get back to my hideout. If I can remap the H camera button I will get that in there, but that takes a little longer than just swapping apks.

Please allow me time to obtain all the information I need (and the conmplimentary copy of Paragon) before I begin posting parallel versions for those of you that require a2sd. Until then I am taking the advice of a pm and adding in the black vk. It is "slick"
Please feel free to follow me on twitter at the same name. Much as I have followed the trend of making one for such an endeavor.
Please excuse the fact that I edit my posts almost immediately. I view them from my G1 and while the logic may be flawed, I find them cleaner when words do not hang loosely into additional lines.

any chance you could add the launcher in from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507244 Or does this now not have the problem when you slide out the keybord? Because im currently running an old version of this rom i think? I had to install G keybord my self so.. Almost deff :L lol, Oh dont meen to be fussy but ayway you you edit the title of the thread whenever you update? only this seems a very intrsting build as i tooo love the HTC look and dont wanna loose the feel exactly cheers for your work dude
everything seems to work. not seeing the multi-touch...suppose to be there right. not a big deal, just testing out the version.
How is this going?
Still developing the build?
Looks great, and appears to fit me perfectly!
However, what is the difference between the two builds that you link to in your first post?
Is the 5.0.2hr5-twisted.zip the normal version, while the 5.0.2hr5a-twisted.zip is the Apps2SD version?

Sorry apps2sd is still coming. Having technical difficulties with getting both my G1 and computer to recognize the same partitions. The new version has the Andreoid keyboard included along with updates to youtube, maps, and market. The slider problem still exists for a day or two. Wanted to get the new market in place because I isolated the market download issue to have been cooperation between market and launcher. Now that the new market accepts downloads I can fix launcher. Expect updates tomorrow. I have a 4-hour block of boredom. Hehe.

Still isolating libs and such. JesusFreke redid the kernel so the program alone was not enough. Didn't think that far ahead when I was throwing parts together. I'm learning as I tear apart the 7 builds on my desktop. I just have to teach myself as I go.
Open source never meant well-documented.
Plans are in the works to go backwards from the HTC build, but like most others I need something to default back to when I'm not testing. Building this version was first priority with that being my next step. That is when the speed increases will occur with some new features. Can't say I'm not a dreamer, right?

Their official builds aren't ARMv6 compatible because of the way the automatic build system works. Currently you have to specify ARMv6 support, which would make the packages exclusive. Because it isn't high priority for them right now it won't be resolved for a while.
Never been impressed, I like Firefox but the mobile implementation is no match for Chrome, Skyfire and Dolphin. Firefox is still trying to get the basics while the others keep adding so many useful features.

What is the difference between firefox and firefox beta
What is the difference between firefox and firefox beta
Memory still an issue after Apps2SD
Once you port over the bookmarks from PC (or Mac?) Version of Firefox, the internal memory decreases dramatically. Should not bookmarks be stored on SD, and less than 10 Megs (yes, I have a lot of bookmarks on Windows Firefox, but still ... A bookmark is only a few kb)? Of course, Arm 6 Firefox is still beta, so things may improve. I did find many appealing factors in it, like being able to bring up official Pixiv app when clicking on an image at the Pixiv (Japanese art site) website. Nifty!
Beta is for latest builds ... regular is for stable version
I checked Google Play, and low and behold, there is a regular Arm 6 version as well as a beta! The beta is of course for experimental use, so not everything may work as intended. Of course, this goes without saying for stable releases too, as there are so many Android based phones and tablets.
themer cm10.1
i need themer cm 10,1
I dunno where to put this. Can someone plz help find the app version before the major UI change. I keep downloading various versions before 9.0 from many places and it still show the same new crappy UI. :'(
I want the last version before the changed design. It also allows adding pix to comments. I can't even find the link. Samsung did a Factory Reset when they are only suppose to replace the USB port.
I could be wrong, but I believe that the app renders the native website, therefore the layout changes are driven by the core website itself and not the app on your device. This wasn't always the case, but it's been a long time.
See this thread for some clues, and a link to an old version before the app went native - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2099916
Thanks for your response. I kept searching last night and kept on using random search words and finally hit it. Its the app right before the UI change and that luckily FB added pix to comments before the UI change. I'm staying on this app until FB fix their messy app. Their current version, that I tested last night, are so horrible. Here is link to the one I found. http://techloverhd.com/2014/03/facebook-7-0-0-22-28-app-download-for-android-apk/ and even emailed to myself. I came across a page listing all versions and descriptions. They're workin' on a 10.0 already, so the 9.0 is short-lived. LoL Will check out the link you provided.
Btw, how can I do a Search on this forum? All I see are Search for Your Device. I'm also wanting the Dolphin apk app version before their UI change.

It's there, near the bottom of the "comments" is a working link, and it says it's the M42 build. One major drawback I'm noticing is nothing "Syncs", no bookmarks, nothing. And yes, I'm signed into my Google account, it should be syncing everything?

This build is based on the newest build files (46) so it should be the most stable build tho it lacks ad-blocker (work in progress).
The build I'm using is based on build 42 files. The upside is it does include the built-in ad blocker and it does that very well, removing the ad and ad-frame. The night mode is integrated nicely in these CAF builds as well (I think it'd be even better if they inverted the app/navbar as well as the page but really it does a good job.

None of the build 42 based browsers will "sync" at my end. The only one that syncs is the "CAF Chromium" posted by mokash34 above (build 46?). If they won't sync all your data they're not of much use, to me. Sync is far more important than ad blocking.

Yes I noticed that as well, tho ad-blocking is of more use to me. I'll be upgrading to version 46 as soon as they get the ad-blocking in place

Ok, thanks, thought it might have been a problem at my end. The funny thing is, the build 42 based browsers let me "sign in" and show that I'm signed in, but will not sync. The build 46 browser has the "sign in" link, which I do, but it continues to show the "sign in" link after signing in, but it syncs everything just fine, strange.
so today the CAF chromium builds looks this way (all are build upon code aurora source):
SWE Browser
(rbrowser on google play) from @magic_man THREAD HERE
V42-2015-10-25
supports immersive mode (fullscreen) and ad-block, no google sync
CAF Chromium
from @jswarts http://caf.notphenom.com/, THREAD HERE
V46-2015-11-15
ad-block, google sync
CAF Chromium
from @VadimTk THREAD HERE
V46-2015-11-19
ad-block, google sync
the last two have same name and icon, so its a pain to keep in mind which one am I using
I need google sync, but i like the immersive mode...so i will keep an eye on those three.
just posted new build
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087012282
@VadimTk if you make a thread and will provide us with new builds and changelog it will be awesome. the only thingsni am looking fir is snapdragon optimised browser, with google sync and immersive fullscreen mode.

it's strange that you have an older build number, they must have found too much instability in the one I downloaded and replaced it with the one you have. My SD card isn't being recognized but I'll see if I can recover the apk
