If you are sick of that...try pushing the browser.apk from the miui rom.

Well I hope it is. I'm on miui right now so I can't really check. But being on it right now, there haven't been any checkerboard problems so far and I've been surfing the web for about an hour.

What is the differences between the two? Is the MIUI browser the EB13 browser, but optimized somehow? The EB13 browser is amazingly fast and awesome except for the checkerboarding, so I would love to know that nothing else is changed other than the checkerboarding issue being fixed.

Dolphin HD
I've been using Dolphin HD Browser, but I like the stock one better[because it feels faster in my opinion]--except for the checker-boarding.

Try Dolphin HD browser. I don't use the stock one any more after using Dolphin.
Being able to set the user client mode is great for a lot sites that always try to push you to mobile versions.

Isn't the MIUI browser dependent on the MIUI framework?

whats the difference between "ICS Browser +" and default ICS internet browser?

whats the difference between "ICS Browser +" and default ICS internet browser?
I am running ics (rocketrom 1.5) and I noticed that there are two browsers on ics.
whats the difference between these two? one is called ICS Browser +. and the other is called "internet".

nothing, but sometimes the ICS+ gets hung up, but the "internet browser" is stable
i think its slightly modded by samsung, this new edition was added by Rocket team i think it wasnt there in the leaks

Isnt it stock GB browser. While the other is ICS browser?

thanks for the replies i just stick to the non+ one.

ICS browser + is a third party browser, like, for instance, dolphin browser is.

Any ways to force these browsers to open PC browser pages?
(e.g. instead of m.facebook, go double-u double-u double-u.facebook)

No way to force Desktop mode in Chrome Beta

ICS Browser+ Is built off the STOCK ICS BROWSER with a few extra additions.
Internet is the SAMSUNG browser.

ICS+ browser is so much better. It is the stock ICS browser, using the sam code, with additional enhancements such as the labs wheel quick controls. I simply cant live without ics+ browser!

for me the MAJOR difference is the user agent. In ics + you get to choose your user agent .

I don't have such browser on my ICS rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516515). Anyway I'm using Google Chrome and it rocks.

Can ICS browser go full screen including using the screen area the status bar (time, battery, signal etc) was taking?

I find ics browser+ much much more smoother. Yes can be made full screen with no status bar showing

Probably, the CM guys will probably also include one.

Is there an app or another way to add quick controls to Chrome?

no theres no way of adding quick controls to chrome. but there are ways to install the original browser

[Q] better s4 text messaging app?

Is there a better text messaging App for the S4? The stock app with the creepy face icons need to go. Plus the general aesthetics are no good.

I liked GoSMS but they're so fricking intrusive now that I couldn't stand them any more. Went to Chomp SMS and it's been working really well.

agreed, they're always trying to shove their other products down your throat. I got fed up pretty quickly..

I gotta say that I find that pretty funny, since that's how all phone operate now. The gestures literally consist of swiping left or swiping right

Yes but access menus or setting or selection options, I'd rather just touch an icon or menu button.
As for GoSMS. I never see any pestering ads. Shrug.

It's not ads per se - it's the notifications "look, we have new premium themes!" "Hey, you can't back up any more but you can use our cloud service!" "please buy into our ecosystem!". If it suits you, it's no big deal - but something that just does SMS/MMS and beats the Samsung/stock product is what I was looking for at this point. Chomp does that.
Not a criticism of their business model, I just didn't like it. I do understand it.

This thread is funny....still love my Handcent over all the rest.

I have my GoSMS matched to the Contacts, Dialer and stock messaging app.
Don't know why all the lines in between messages aren't showing up. Not showing up in screen capture either. Shrug.

Android Apps that use Air View

Does anyone else know of any apps that take advantage of airview? I haven't had much luck. Here's a list of what I have.. I can try and keep it updated, but no promises.
[stock] Email
[stock] Messaging
[stock] Gallery
[stock] Calendar
[stock] Internet browser
Flipboard

Calendar does as well. You can hover over appointments, etc.

On the main page you can hover over the categories to get a quick glance. That's about it.

I heard Samsung was going to release the apk(?), so now I guess we wait and see if any of the big name devs pick up on it.

Toolkit* lol

Yeah that.
It would be nice to see this incorporated into a Web browser and home launcher. Hover over a folder to see contents, hover over messaging icon to see last few messages, etc. It could be infinitely handy in a browser though.
I can't remember where I read they would release the toolkit(!), and I haven't seen confirmation from Samsung on it, but it would be nice.

The manual actually says that it works in "Web browser" (does not say which one) to zoom in on parts of screen.

I've never tried it as I don't like the stock client, but what I'm interested in is hovering over text to expand a list. That would be great.

It works in the stock samsung web browser, of course you have to enable it in air gestures.
I think its on the bottom?
When you hover over text it will give you a little pop up zoom in of the text, similar to when you press somewhere with more than one link and a pop up appears so you can make a more precise link click.

Ah, you're right, it works on the stock browser, allows for text zooming.

Smart Remote for Galaxy S4 has air gestures too

I think this thread is about Air View, the feature you see in Gallery if you hover your finger over a category. I've accidentally glitched it to be forced ON for all apps on my S5 for about 2 hours. (Went away after a reboot... ) It worked EVERYWHERE. Chrome (mouseover menus on websites!!!) and Google Launcher (only got tooltips for long app names, nothing else) to name just a couple. I'm thinking that Samsung just triggers part of Android's built-in USB mouse code... Maybe we can duplicate my accident with Xposed...?
