[Q] Replacement of stock browser on 10.1v - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

Hi,
Anyone with a rooted 10.1v already tried to replace the stock browser with the one that is shipped with any other honeycomb device? I miss the Lab Quick controls badly (it doesn't work on any firmware I tried, not on the one it came with, not on the newer version Chainfire provided) and was thinking that a simple replacement with another stock browser would solve this. But before going through the hassle of rooting the tab I just want to know if someone tried this already.
Any valuable response gets 3 thanks on the counter

I tried it with my I/O tab. Did not work at all =[

Bad news. So the quick control doesn't work on the I/O tab either?

You are saying that Galaxy Tabs don't have quick controls in browser!?

Well, it does contain an option to turn it on in the Lab settings, it just doesn't work. Just a bug, that, I'm sure, will be ironed out at some point.

Thats strange. It works great on Xoom, both Android 3.0.1 and 3.1.

They work, but ONLY in portrait mode

On the I/O tab, we don't even have an option to turn it on. There are no "labs" settings at all. And when I said "did not work at all" I meant that the browser did not work at all.. not that the quick controls did not work. The browser just force closed immediately.

Lol, you are right. Wish it was the other way around.

Which browser did you try? The Xoom browser? Anyway think I'm going to root my device and do some experiments. I really miss those controls.
Did you log the FC?

Phone to Chrome

Is it possible to be able to go the opposite way (Phone to Chrome)?
Open for discussion..
It would be interesting, but the logic would require some server service running on your desktop running chrome right?
Phone to Chrome would be great hope they can implement that feature in the future.
Search for android2cloud.
yup, android2cloud works great
Force closes for me

[SOLVED/G2] Browser

Ok so i just got my g2 here in hawaii today. Moved over from the n1 i had running cm6 stable. The only reason i moved was for the keyboard lol i have fat fingers. anyways does anyone know if theres a way to have the g2's browser run in "desktop" mode? the n1 had a option to switch it from iphone, desktop, and android browser i believe. I loved that because i use facebook alot and i really hate that it pulls up the "touch" facebook app by default. any help is appreciated thanks!
whats the point of having full flash support if it doesnt even pull up the full sites by default? it makes no sense to keep pushing the little link on the bottom that says "full site"
type "about:debug" into the address bar of the browser and hit enter. nothing will happen. go to settings in the browser and scroll all the way down to UAString and change the value to "desktop"

This works well, however you may have to do it again each time. I know that's how it was for my Nexus One.

I had the option in my settings on my n1 and once you set it, it was permanent is that because i was on cm6?

After you enter about:debug and hit enter nothing happens. Click settings on the top right and debug will be there

It, doesn't, "show" anything, but after you enter it in you will have more options under settings, including the ability to change settings, debug, uastring.

Video Solution
Take a look at this video. This runs through the process

Is there any way to get about:debug to stick permanently? It seems as if every time I turn off my Xoom or the browser FC's, I have to do this trick again.
hahaha this make sense now, I have been wondering why sometimes it works for me and other times it doesnt.. I keep mixing them up!

Persists after a reboot for me. Although, all I change is the browser ID to desktop.
a widget for this would be nice.. hint hint developers...

Really? You don't have to type in Aboutebug every time?
xoom command - about:debug...
Does anybody still need help on this command?

about:debug everytime?

Ok, so I do the about:debug thing on my Xoom because I like to view my sites in desktop view, but everytime I restart I have to do it all over again. Is there anyway to fix this other then rooting my Xoom?
There is a way but only works on the 3G. It's on the development forum.

I did it once and it has stayed as desktop. My Xoom is turned off quite often.
That sucks bc i have the wifi only model(not a big fan of Verizon) and it always comes undone for me.

Same here. Does not stick on reboot.
set it as your homepage and each time you want to re enable it all you have to do is click the url bar and enter

Mine is the WiFi only.
Just use Dolphin Mini & set user agent as desktop and you're done for good.Plus it works 100 times better than the stock browser.

[Q] Browser Quick controls / labs

First I had a transformer, the stock browser had an option for quick controls in the labs section under settings, but the galaxy tab doesn't have the lab settings at all. Has anyone found a way to enable them? I really miss the full screen feature and I don't want to use a third party browser.
Personally, I am a big fan of dolphin, but I think I you enable debugging, you will get more options.

Debugging does give more options, but labs still doesn't come up
I was wondering the same also. hopefully someone could let us know. that is such a good feature
Anyone? I see no reason for Samsung to cripple the browser
Go to the app section here. Someone has posted the browser apk.
That said I have no idea why it's not on here by default.

Looks that way.
The Quick Browsing settings are really cool and helpful.
Has anyone found out how to activate it?
Has anyone been been able to find the Quick Browsing Settings?
