I came to the fascinate from my old iphone 3g and I love the fascinate, but there is only one problem.that is the stupidity of the double tap to zoom on android.when I double tap to zoom on a picture it just zooms in a set amount.but what I love about the iphone is its double tap to zoom wraps around the picture or what ever is being zoomed into. And I was wondering if there is any way to get iphone style double tap to zoom on android. The solution I have come up with so far is to use firefox mobile which has iphone style double tap, but this isn't practical because firefox is really buggy and still a beta. If anyone has any solutions please, respond.

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.
Hey Guys ,
Is there any way the double tap to zoom can be switched off on the stock rom in Nexus 6p ? Just tapping the screen twice zooms the current screen, due to this zoom feature some apps which have double tap are not working properly.
Any help regarding this will be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I've moved from iPhone 6+ to s7 edge few months ago and have few questions:
1. Is there any way I can sync google chrome bookmarks with 'Internet' quick access icons? apple got simple plugin for doing this.
I know there is a add on for chrome but it is just shi...t and syncing just bookmarks with bookmarks and doubling sync- making more mess than it's worth
2. While using 'Internet' browser (I've noticed just this browser can be comparable with iPhone safari in term of speed and smoothness)
can (when swipe or similar) I get rid of annoying address bar and status bar?
These two bars take 2.5 cm of the screen size!!! I've compared s7edge 5.5 inch with iphone 6- 4.7 inch and I can see more information on smaller iPhone screen. Safari when you swipe is minimising address bar to 3mm high!!!
3. WhatsApp. Can the notification on the locked screen be resized? It is f... massive!!! It is shame to show it when traveling on the tube!!!
can all locked screen notifications be standardised so all looks the same? Apple got it for last 5 years!
I'm not apple fan, I love this phone, quality, hardware, battery, quick charging, camera but OMG can few things be fu... polished before releasing to the world.
Is it possible somehow to get the floating button back? The pinch to zoom doesnt work on all aspect ratio media.
I saw that the crop button from samsung is called smartfittingservice and its a sistem app from sammy.
How can we get it to work back?
Yeah, the crop button worked for all aspect ratios regular and wide but the new pinch to zoom works only with regular aspect ratios otherwise it leaves two long black bars on the top and bottom of S8 which is annoying. I hope we get the zoom button back.
Yeah , no one else saw this, this is a big dissapointment, can we samehow get it back, those who are on oreo beta, please make a feedback to a sammy developer, we nees that crop button back....we cannot go full immersive anymore on all media with variat aspect formats.

Am on 7.0 with new YouTube app there is only pinch to zoom now.. Floating button is no more.
Hey friends
I really don't like the navbar which is reducing the screen to much, so I decided to install J Touch app from playstore.
Loaded a nice looking home button jpeg picture from the web. Give the button a one hit back function, a long press home function and a swipe up for recents.
Please see attached pictures navigating is nice and I whish I could even eliminate the navbar on the homescreen

Keeping one icon appear on the screen all the time may cause burn in I'd be worried about that

No I don't think so. There is transparency setted, the button is popping if hitted and it is shifting up on home screen. You could be as scared or even more about a status bar burn in...
and look how much time is needed:
"Test Results
The iPhone X displayed burn-ins before the Galaxy Note 8 at 17 hours. However, it took 510 hours for the images to become permanently etched on its display which also marked the end of the test.
Compared to that, the Note 8 took 62 hours to show first signs of display burn-in, which is impressive. However, it had permanent marks way before the end of the test. The Galaxy S7 Edge showed signs of burn-in sooner than the iPhone X, however, it showed permanent burn-ins much later than the Note 8 and almost at iPhone X’s 510 hour mark."

Ok so would you recommend the app over navigation gesture? The gesture is not polished at the moment I'll give the app a go

I think so, you can also activate temporary move, which is helpful is s.th. is hided by the button. So you can move the button away for two seconds. You can hide button always in landscape, it is hiding when you are keyboard typing... it is perfect for 18:9 displays.
If navbar would have a one button control too, I wouldn't use J Touch.
You can also give it an iPhone look but ok I guess everybody is hating apple .
Edit: Ah ok you mean gesture. Sorry I didn't have this option until now.... don't know what is better
Looks like a nice app. I prefer LMT Launcher though as you can set it to do almost any task and only comes on the screen when you activate it so creates a really clean look with extra functionality.
Or you could try Gesture Control from Conena.. I'm very happy with the way the gestures work

Have you been able to use lmt with stock os? If so, I'd like to know the secret for getting rid of the nav bar
Not sure. Not really a fan of stock. From other forum members, it's possible to disable it with the joneplustool app. Both that and LMT require root.
I've been using Swipe Navigation. It even has long press functionality. Loving it so far.
That looks bat **** ugly, why don't you just download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.suphi.swipenavigation&hl=en ?
In my kg g6 its eating battery like elephant ??
Xposed Edge anyone?
