I went back to the stock Browser to see how multitouch was after the OTA update, and man, how underwhelming.
The multitouch is pretty much the same as Dolphin of course, but I definitely got used to Dolphin's full screen view. That status bar just sticks out like a HUGE sore thumb in the stock browser now...
Now only that, I love being able to double tap in Dolphin and seeing all the open tabs, instead of having to press Menu... then Windows... Then choose my tab...
Anyone else sticking with Dolphin? I think there's just too many extra features. Now that I've tried it, I can't go back!
I'm actually moving back to stock browser, I didn't realize how slow dolphin was.

Slow how? In zooming, page loading, or something else? They seem the same speed to me...???
Also, the zoom in/out buttons on the stock rom are also really ugly now, since they're not on Dolphin either.
dolphin didn't really impress me. the zoom was never that smooth and I never got used to the gestures didn't seem worth the effort. stock browser always seemed to load quicker. the new zooming seems to format the page better. I think the new pinch is absolutely perfect.
stock all the way, though I could see if you were used to specific features you'd stay with dolphin.
The only advantage Dolphin has now, over the stock browser, is the ability to download Youtube vids. On this gorgeous huge screen, the status bar isn't really as much of an eyesore as it was on the G1.
I see... It does seems a bit smoother to zoom...
Is there a way to remove the zoom buttons and the status bar without being rooted?
If not, is there a way to remove them with root?

Best bet is to contact Loccy. He was able to hack the stock browser on 1.5 and 1.6 to hide the status bar and the zoom buttons.
I like the tab mgmnt. Home page/bookmarks.
Dolphin MT but it also reformats text. Default when you P/Z is iphonish where it doesnt reformat the text.

Page loading. I love the left/right swipe to change tabs on dolphin though, as well as the gestures, but if I'm on my phone, page loading > tabs

double tap right after doing the pinch to zoom, it'll format it without zooming

Oh wow, you're right. I just noticed this.
When you zoom in with pinch/zoom on stock browser, it doesn't reflow text. If you rotate the phone and then rotate back, it DOES reflow the text. And then if you zoom out, it reflows the text. So only zooming *IN* with P/Z is fubar'd. (The zoom in/zoom out buttons reflow text just fine in both directions.)
Is this a "feature" or a bug with P/Z on stock browser???
[Edit]: Actually... It looks like reflow isn't working in Dolphin either until you rotate landscape and back??? Google must have broken something in the OTA??

PM'd. He hasn't posted in more than a month on XDA though. I wonder if he left the Android scene.
Got a US T-Mobile HD2, and I just enabled rotation again. I don't know why it was disabled in the first place. Maybe, it is because not all programs can be used in landscape mode (though they should be).
What are some good programs that can be used in both modes? TCPMP apparently can't do landscape. Where can I find some skins for Windows Media Player?
This is off topic, but does Android support Landscape mode?
Android does support landscape, three are several devices with slide out keyboard. Program wise, most WM should support bot landscape and portrait
I wish wm apps would have thinner status bars. for example the one that Adobe reader uses is huge. wm top bar, bottom bar and app's own bar. thats a lot of space used up.
how did u enable landscape mode, did you use registry tweak(s) or any programs?

You can install Bsbtweaks.
i used bsbtweaks on my tmobile hd2 and get the clock only on the left side and a black bar to the right. aceo07, is your rom stock?
The BN eReader app had this cool feature where it would reflow text automatically when you pinched to zoom. It would change the text size and fit to screen automatically. Then I installed bsb tweaks and the BN app got added to the list of apps on the pinch to zoom list of bsb tweaks automatically. However, this is the crappy pinch to zoom where it shows you a preview and stuff and doesn't reflow text. So I took the BN app out of that list. But now the pinch to zoom won't work at all in the eReader.
I've uninstalled BSB tweaks, reinstalled the eReader app, soft reset etc. Nothing seems to bring the original functionality back. Has anybody seen this? Any suggestions? Registry values that could be cleared out or something?
Please help
can some WinMo gurus please help here?
Is there anyway to use the zoom bar in oprea?
unfortunately you cannot. there are some tweaks out there that can get it ot work but it does not work well.
htc worked on the opera 9.7 to enable the zoom bar.
I orignally was also searching for a way to use the zoom bar but after using opera 10 for awhile, I found that it really does not need to use zoom feature as much so I think just with a bit more expereince you may found that it's fine to live without it.
Now that you mention it i dont need it as mutch as I origionaly thought
Opera 10 does not have scalable zooming. It just has 2 zoom levels, zoomed in and zoomed out. Therefore the zoom bar does not work.
Hello,
Is it possible to zoom in/out in the browser using a Spen? Is there any xposed module for this?
Thanks
