Running Froyo? Want the push to phone that was shown at Google I/O?
Well this isn't Googles, but this looks pretty close.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/161941/
Install that in your Firefox.
http://outgoing.mozilla.org/v1/1a19...ooglecode.com/files/chrometophone-android.apk
Install that on your Froyo. (You'll have to allow 3rd party apps in your settings)
Open it and REGISTER by logging in.
Now back in your Firefox window, you should see a Black phone with a green arrow on it up near your address bar. Click it. Now watch your phone.
Enjoy
It's called chrome to phone and we have known about it since the day froyo was unofficially released
Sorry, this was the first I saw any mention of a Firefox addon for it. So far everything I had seen was for Chrome.
Anyway, I love it!
welcome to 4 weeks ago.
I love Opera, but there's one big issue that I have with it. I'm a big sports junkie and I go to ESPN.com dozens of times daily, and they recently re-designed their mobile site like 6 months ago or so. Anyways, I love the re-design and is much more useful and quicker to get the info I want/need. The problem with Opera is that it still goes to ESPN's OLD mobile site which I didn't really like. Its been over 6 months now since the re-design and other 3rd party browsers access the new one. But why can't Opera go to it? And why does it use the old one? Anyways, anything would be of great help!
Same goes for the google page and facebook. I love using opera mobile browser and also am heavy google user but the page is all torn down in opera mobile. I have tried few solutions like changing the custom user agent as suggested by another user but with no use. Though it gave me the google mobile version yet it was all messed up.

Hi guys I just installed ICS Slim and boy am I glad I did. Smooth and Slick. One quick question, I did install Chrome Beta but do I have to separately install Chrome 2 Phone from the Market for it to work? I thought it might be built in. Thanks!

Chrome BETA browser already had the "chrome 2 phone" feature built in, you have to login from your browser on your PC, and login on the android browser, and they should be connected, it does sometimes take a little bit of time for them to sync.
Yeah, I did log in to both. I can even view the tabs on my Comp on my Phone but C2P is not working yet. I will give it some time first. Thanks!
After waiting a while, it still refuses to work. So I just went ahead and downloaded Chrome to Phone from Market. Now it works fine. I think this has to be installed.
Edit: it's not working again. Either the program is buggy or the rom is buggy, im using slim. I am trying to get this to work, will post solution if i find it.
I got it...
I needed to remove Chrome to Phone from my Chrome PC Browser and install Chrome to Mobile.
You guys need Chrome to Mobile.
Fixed.
Hey guys, got my S4 this morning and love it of course, what a great device. I have a few questions about the stock s4 browser though. I do browse quite a lot on daily basis and when I realized ICS browser (+) don't work, I tried the stock browser. Things I don't like on the stock browser:
1. no text reflow
2. no way of syncing bookmarks from my pc (ICS browser + did this, it automatically synced all my bookmarks from my desktop PC's chrome)
I don't think I can live comfortably with this browser. I've tried chrome (randomly changes font size, eww), ics browser and ics browser + (neither of these work on the s4) so far. Basically, I want a browser that does text reflow and syncs bookmarks. Any ideas? Thanks.
Would also like to know this..

Couldn't you accomplish all those features you want with Mozilla Firefox?

there's no sign in that I can see for the browser
Try Dolphin or Opera Mobile.
ICS+ unfortunately only works in ICS (which is a shame because it was my favorite with the thumb controls).
For the sync, goto Settings=>Google (profile)
Tap your Google account (that's synced with Chrome) and make sure Browser is ticked ON.
There's no browser sync option under the google account, only chrome and that is ticked. The stock s4 browser still won't sync the chrome bookmarks. they do work in chrome, but not the "internet" stock browser. Chrome is ok on the s4, I guess, but some websites display some fonts with different sizes on the same page making it all look bad, plus there's no text reflow in mobile chrome.
Must be because of Samsung then. They probably want you to use some weird Samsung sync instead. Figures.
Chrome Mobile is pretty much the worst browser for Android at the moment. It doesn't reflow right all the time, randomly changes text sizes (especially in forums), isn't the smoothest, has input lag and can't use Flash in any iteration. The stock browser is so much better than I don't know why Google's Chrome team can't get it right.

yeah, the stock browser is pretty good actually, much better than chrome. but chrome syncs. which is a big plus. other than that, chrome sucks. ics browser worked on my s2 (jellybean) and it's a shame it doesn't work on the s4. let's hope there'll be a new browser soon that does sync, reflow and has a bookmark button next to the address bar. that's all I'm asking from a browser.
A little bit off topic, but any news on people working on some roms for the s4?

Thing is, stock browser also syncs with Chrome. But that's the Android stock browser apparently and not the Samsung stock browser for whatever reason.
Dolphin is pretty good and I think there's a Chrome extension to sync it to Dolphin.
Firefox Mobile syncs with Firefox and Opera Mobile syncs with Opera.
My most preferred browser is probably Opera just because it has been consistently smooth and quick while doing things like reflow properly.

when I say stock browser on the s4, I mean the stock samsung galaxy s4 browser. and that one unfortunately doesn't sync with chrome. shame. I've never used dolphin, that's about the only browser I've never tried.
It must be a bug, it has always synced the Chrome destop bookmark.
how often do your bookmarks change? just make shortcuts on one of your home screens imo.
i havent gotten my s4 yet, but on my droid 3 i just use adw launcher & create all the icons i want with the websites i use most, and/or the apps i use, with the icon i like for it. this way i dont have the ugly bookmark icons on the shortcut.
Not to hijack this thread, but how in the world do you go to the home page one has set for the stock Samsung browser? Cannot find a Home button anywhere. Also, cannot get desktop view to stick, has to be rechecked after anytime browser is closed. Anyone know how to make it permanent, other than using a different browser?
Naked browser ftw. Or nb pro the paid version.

Neither do i. Sam sets the text reflow, please.:crying:
someone needs to port the 4.2.2 AOSP browser to s4 touchwiz stat, had been doable for all previous galaxies and touchwiz versions so shouldn't be too much of a hassle.
otherwise both chrome and the sammy stock browser are literally unusable in this day and age...
where did it go the 'open behind this' option on link longpress?? aaaaahhhhhhhh
Chrome annoys me especially on xda...the reloads, blinking, etc.

If you go into the G2 development forum, there is a link to the Stock Browser and just flash it in recovery.

AOSP Browser Installer in the Play Store. Worked fine on my VZW G2
(I think the one linked in the development forum is the stock *LG* browser, you might try that but personally I like AOSP browser better)
There is another "AOSP" Browser in the PlayStore if you can't get the AOSP one running (don't know if that one requires root or not, it days it does but..). It's called Android Browser and is basically the AOSP Browser and works fine. I've read that some couldn't get the AOSP Browser to work, so thought I'd throw this out there.
Do they all play flash?
Do either of them sync with google bookmarks?
