lol haha does it scroll thru it smoothly

I been with CM7 since the first nightly. Having come off of an iPhone to the vibrant with this rom browser wise I would have to say it runs better that hat of iPhone anyday of the week.

It's good, but not as good as 2.1 or 2.2.1

why is it notetter than 2.1 or 2.2.1?
and does the browser of cm7 scroll thru the web pages as smooth sasgard and simply honey?

2.1 and 2.2.1 is have the best stock browser in my experience.
It's good enough for playing flash videos though.

Reason not to upgrade to 2.2

2.2 has a major bug with slow web browsing in pages with pictures. Scrolling becomes so choppy it feels like I'm using G1 or MyTouch3G. This is with flash turned off.
2.1 was smooth as butter when scrolling or viewing web pages with pictures. Better than an iPad and better than any other mobile device. 2.2 takes a huge step backwards. I'm going back to 2.1 Bionix Final.
I have definitely encounter the bug you are talking about. However, 2.2 gives so much more benefits over 2.1 that I am willing to over look this little "bug".
Flash = never have to convert video again
Javascript performance doubled compare to 2.1
Gmail/Market/Youtube/Google Apps updates
UI tweaks - button placed in more accessible places.
Chrome to Phone
I thought I was the only one with the web browser lag when I switch to 2.2. Yea, turn off flash helped but still lag a little

Is this normal with all 2.2 devices? Or just ours based on the leaks?

nero v3 with vodoo and no web browser lag here.
I'm also using Nero v3 w/Voodoo and here are the key benefits-
Crazy good battery life with or without lagfix (Idle for 8 hours and uses <10% battery)
Speed/smoothness is unmatched (quadrant score 1500+ if anybody cares)
Flash is superb
Porn
I can't find any benefits with 2.1 over 2.2, TBH.

You have to account for Flash in 2.2. Also if you don't like the choppiness you get sometimes go into your Browser options and change your pluggins to "Ondemand" instead of always. That way flash will only work when you click a Flashplayer enabled a video or add. Try it! Works great, better than 2.1

Nero v3 with voodoo has the same browser lag. TW is using the same JL5 Froyo rom. Voodoo doesn't help with the browser lag. I'm running stock JL5 with voodoo.

Flash has nothing to do with it. I said I disabled Flash in the browser. 2.1 is much smoother even with Flash lite enabled.

Running Nero v3 w/voodoo and I too get the lag.
However it only happens in the default browser. Both miren and dolphin hd work great.
Stick with froyo, just get a different browser.
Ginger clone with voodoo no problems, with lag on browser.
Maybe once in a while when I have 3 tabs open all trying to run flash

I just tried Dolphin HD. Same problem. Go to a page like Pocketnow and try to scroll on the desktop version page.

Excellent point. I don't have any lag when browsing but I rarely have 2+ windows active.
Maybe that's the issue?
I've had terrible lag scrolling with all 2.2 roms on pages with pictures. As soon as I scroll the picture off of the widow it speeds up again. I see it a lot in forums with pictures in the posts. I'm not sure about the cause but it wasn't there with 2.1. This happens with one window or multiple.
Currently running nero 3 with voodoo.

Well, I'm on Nero + voodoo and its just fine for me, and I don't keep flash off. Pages without flash content work smooth for me, so I'd say something is going on with your phone or maybe you're just too picky.

So it looks like it's a bug with all 2.2 roms for the Hummingbird due to Google screwup. 2.2.1 from Samsung supposedly fixes it for the Galaxy S by correcting the gpu browser acceleration error. How long til 2.2.1 is released for the Vibrant?

On either 2.1 or 2.2 did/do I use the stock web browser. Especially for desktop view. pft! I was quickly convinced it was for mobile websites only. Dolphin HD all the way.

has the same browser lag on your phone, not mine. i went to several pages with lots of pics and i have no lag.
Check out this web page.

Double tap to zoom in the scroll down the page past the embeded pics of the motherboard box. My phone stops scrolling and updates every 3 seconds or so until the pics are off that page. Eventually the pictures fully load in memory and scrolling is again smooth, but to do so I have to scroll all the way through them like a slide show.

checkerboard in browser

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?

I wonder if the checkerboard browser is a result of the browser, or Flash.
The reason I say this is because I couple of weeks ago I got to put my hands on a Blackberry Playbook, and that browser did the same exact thing.

interesting thing is Dolphin Mini doesn't have any sort of checkerboarding effect. It could be something with the browser and flash in general as I do not know if it does this on other phones. Before Froyo, the stock browser never did it. I guess we could try uninstalling flash to see if the browser still does it to narrow it down a bit more.

When you zoom in and out on certain web pages with the stock browser you'll notice a gray and white checkerboard effect. It's not a terrible bug, but it's annoying.
That is not a big issue. Its not an issue at all. TWS bug or BT is a big issue
Why don't you use another browser I use skyfire it is way better than the stock browser never had any checkerboarding with it

Browser. It's definitely not flash. The upcoming SRF release I'm developing has no checkerboard issues whatsoever, with Flash 10.2 up and running.

Even if the EC05 and EB13 browsers didn't checkerboard I'd still never use them. The stock Android browser is the best one I've ever used and nothing on the market compares to its simple interface. I wish someone would make a ROM that didn't have this "TouchWiz Browser" and just use the stock Android 2.2 browser.
If the checkerboard browser is all that is wrong then I will be very very happy. 3G data is fantastic and so far BT has been very steady. I have had no issues so far and have been on EC05 all day.

oops did it too
lol ya bonsai is great and my dad is finally happy that his bluetooth work like it should,
They should of through eb13 in the toilet and just released this this is pretty damn good rom from smaung and sprint i think all the bugs have been squashed as much as they can do and our developers here can easily sqush the other ones if any..
I agree. Running bonsai 4.0 and everything is better than eb13. Data speed is awesome, GPS locks are fast, wifi seems to connect better.

Cheers man. You are a legend..
By the way, do u recommend flashing to cyanogenmod?
if u want froyo, i recommend froyobylaszlo,
if u want gingerbread, i recommend ezGingerbread.
My experience with gb hasn't been good, very slow, I'd recommend froyo.
Ginger Yoshi is good too with some adjustments.
I highly recommend u to use ezgingerbread, it runs just as great as any froyo rom, maybe better. Just try it, it'll change your opinion about gingerbread. I am using it right now and honestly this is the best rom I ever used, no force closes and super smooth and fast.

ICS Browser

anyone else notice how beast this thing is? I uninstalled dolphin. never seen xda scroll so
smooth. not to mention it loads pages almost as quickly as my desktop
ICS in general is smoother than any version of android previoulsy released. Scrolls, transition effects, the launcher, touch screen response, everything.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
Yea, ICS is a beast. The browser is apart of it.
anybody compared stock ICS browser with chrome for android? i haven't gotten around to installing cm9 yet to find out myself.
I tried chrome once and it was still buggy but a guy at work is useing it and he swears buy it and claims it is much faster that the stock browser. have not fully side by side tested it my self though
Anyone got the apk to the ICS browser
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
ICS browser is awesome
chrome is even better however on mine (turl v9 build, tried it too with jokersax 0.2 beta) it crashes when I hit the tab select button so no go for now
mate there is no way to run it without ICS so apk would be pointless

Chrome is much, much faster at rendering than stock. Their engines are similar but stock is considerably more dated. But chrome is still buggy, and with no ident switch its kind of useless.
