Here is a fix for the jerky zoom in the stock browser!

I do not take credit for this fix. I just came across it on phandroid.com Check this out:
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-sup...id-browser-different-pinch-zoom-behavior.html
I hope this helps some of you!

I actually used it and it does help. I didn't notice but now that I did, I'm questioning why I even used the other way

So people don't have to hunt for it:
I was able to disable this annoying zooming behavior on my HTC Incredible with stock Android 2.2/Sense. Here are the steps I went through: Enable debugging options by typing "about:debug" into browser address bar. Then go to Menu > More > Settings. Scroll down to settings under "debug" heading. You should see the option "Enable GEP zoom", and it will be turned off. Turning it on will give you the Google zooming behavior.

Awesome tip, thank you for bringing to my attention.

Agreed great tip!

So basically this disables the reflow of text when zooming in the browser. I don't notice a difference in smooth zooming, both on and off it looks the same to me. The difference like I said is reflow of text. I like that function so I will have to leave the setting as off.

it works great, but you have to keep on going into debug mode to use it

Doesn't bring up a menu.. I get a java toolbox. Running fresh.

This does prevent the reflow of text, but it does fix one annoyance I've had since i got the EVO.
In a modern smartphone browser, the page should follow your fingers as you zoom. So where ever you touch on the page should follow your fingers as you spread/close them. This means that if one finger stays still and the other one moves, the page should stay put under the finger that hasn't moved. This is the way other browsers work and it helps to zoom so that you can expand the page and keep it centered where you want to see. The EVO browser does not work this way. Try it and see. Keep one finger still and the page will still move under the still finger. Grr.. You have to zoom then let go and recenter on the area of interest. However, checking this option makes the zoom work properly this way. This is at the cost of reflowing the text, which I rather like though. So its a tough call which way I would like more.
Anyhow, thanks OP. Nice find

After doing the fix, does anyone have the problem of it reverting back to the old style, even if the box is checked?

Nothing pops up when I type about:config into my browser.

Yup, I had that problem. So I just downloaded that dolphin browser to fix the zoom

Pushed the updated one to my phone, starts to play the startup sound, then hangs.

Use about:debug, not about:config.

Typing about:debug will not pop up anything. It will add new menus in settings.
The changes you do in the debug menu are temporary. The browser goes back to normal settings after its been closed.

Can someone try to port over the desire(flashable) version of this?

Did you try to flash it yourself? I'm going to flash it in a bit...
Edit: It works, just looks ugly as balls, gonna do a little work on it..
Edit2: Im going to take a guess and say that the only thing edited is the debug xml file, so im assuming that if you replace the xml file from our browser.apk with the one from theirs, it should work. im doing that right now.

I personally tried to flash it but got fc.

What are the stats of your phone? Have you checked your builds thread for FAQ or a specific issue; check on "search" tab in the builds page: but, it may be your APN settings.

I have read other threads about the APN, but when I click on the Access Point Names in goes into another screen that has APNs at the top and nothing else

Yes, click on it and it should bring up a list of settings. Click on my thumbnail for my settings, don't know if they'll work for you.

Then what you'll need to do is after you get to that tap on windows button and add a new apn, make sure to save it when finished.

i had this prob with 3.2.try using froyostone 3.4.boot it up,restart after 1st boot,see if that works

How to set the “me” picture in android’s messaging app

??? It's a blank page!

As there's no link, this is what I do (in CM 7.1):
Add your own number to your phone book, set your picture and fill in whatever info you want. Make sure you populate your mobile number in the international format (.e.g mine reads +447987987654)
Settings>Call Settings>Scroll to "Other Call Settings>Additional Settings
Hit "My Phone Number"
Make sure your phone number is in there, again in the international format.
In CM7, for some reason this value is not being retrieved from my SIM, so I need to add it here each time my phone is rebooted. Same for my Wife's Defy too.
Back before I had rooted and was on stock, it's even easier; simply set your Google Profile picture and it is shown on the phone automatically.
Maybe this will help someone.

[HOW TO] Enable USB option in settings

If you have WP 8.1 dev preview you can try:
Launch Bing or Cortana
Type in ‘USB’
Swipe left to ‘phone’
Tap Settings > USB
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now we see USB settings, but I don't know whether or not the feature works. Anyway - we see so that is already in the system.
Source: http://www.wpcentral.com/bing-search-reveals-hidden-usb-settings-windows-phone-81

Weird thing...
I was browsing registry a week ago and found these settings there. I posted to the 8.1 tweaking topic about them, with a sidenote that what happened, this didnt come tothe final build. After posting I was swiping in the settings and saw the USB -settings menu there. Then I just thought I have missed the whole usb-settings in the preview and edited my post about that.
Now that I saw the news abotu this in WPC yesteday, I went to the settings and the USB -settings is not present anymore. I dont know I probably then enabled/disabled it myself then from the settings.
Posted the reg tweak to the tweaking topic how to make the usb settings menu appear in the settings.

Same error in network profile.

I can get to the option on my Windows Phone 8x, but it says "Not connected" even though the phone is connected to my computer via USB.

Same for me

Me too for network profile, but I enabled USB in settings, as @Loco explained here. - of course with interop unlock, using samwp8tools and regedit-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718311&page=4
This is the command: LOCALMACHINE (check DWORD)
Path: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\USB
Key: DisableUSBControlPanel
Value: 0

I've enabled both options, but they don't seem to work on my 820 (yet). Probably why the setting was hidden in the first place... :/

this is the reason...

I activated the settings but it doesn't allert me when I connect a slow charger

with web reg you can see there are more keys to USB :

possibly just a complete coincidence but not long after enabling this I started getting issues with the phone charging, in that it wouldn't charge or connect via USB, a reset fixed it and not been an issue since. probably nothing but if more folk find this happening it might be worth while keeping track of it to potentially warn others.
after all, its not as if these settings are super secrete or against the wishes of the networks so the settings are not live for a reason....perhaps that's it.
food for thought

Not sure if this will help 100%, but I am sure i can't hurt.
Since you're rooted you can go ahead and install this by flashing the zip in recovery.
After you have booted back up, open the new incall modz control app.
Then hit the three lines on the top left to open the control menu options.
Scroll down and click the advanced hidden menu section.
This section opens up several hidden menus.
You can look through and see what may give you the options you're looking for.
I suggest using the "apn unlocking" to give you access to edit the apn setting.
You can also play around in the "phone testing menu" section and look within the field test secrion to force LTE.
I must say BE CAREFUL because you could change a setting that may require a restore/reinstall of your rom!.
I have played with a lot of settings and never done any real damage, seems like it would just close the app of the option wasn't compatible with my phone.
The hidden menus are also accessible via a dialer code (which varies per device variant and there are playstore apps as well, don't remembwr the names.
I only suggest the mod, because it is part of ny oZoP project and it will give you lots of customizations for the caller id, plus the advanced hidden menu that i beleive you could use. Like i said though, there are other options and the choice is yours.
Good luck

Well it looks like I don't need to answer the first question, but I will just mention for other users, the mod has been tested and confirmed working on every "stock" based rom without issue.
As far as the menu options not showing, it looks to me if the setup you are running has had the files needed for the options debloated or possibly that variant doesn't include them by default.
I have attatched a flashable zip of the files needed, but I DO RECOMMEND MAKING A FULL BACKUP just in case.
After you get your backup finished just flash the zip in recovery and proceed back to the app for the extra options.
Good luck again and let me know how that goes. Your feedback is valuable to me so I can ensure that everyone gets the same experiance as I intended
