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

how can i get the browser that is in cyanogen's roms, into other roms (like SR, etc)? i love how the UI is compared to the other browser (like how it displays your open windows/tabs) etc.
on a side note, in that browser, what is "Incognito window" do? lol

Incognito window doesn't record browser history for that session.

I figured a lot of people would love this...
When you hit the "home" button it turns your phone into webOS style "cards" display of your recent locations (yes, with previews of the page and all). I personally find it amazing, best task switcher out there, period.
Double-tap takes you all the way to your actual home page.
You can even add shortcut widgets to the bottom under the "cards" or even use it as a secondary in launcher, launcher - if that made any sense.
There's a few similar ones.. I love this but the home tap option to expose all 7 homescreens is gone on this one. s

How? I have the paid and most recent version of LP and after playing around in the settings for a little while I couldn't figure out how to set an app to launch by swyping on the app button.
Thanks

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?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
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)

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 .

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

same here, it is very smooth, easy switching of mobile and desktop by "request desktop site" option, have been using dolphin browser but now ICS browser+ is my favorite now
I know there are forums for other phones on this topic but I don't believe there are any for the Nexus 4.
Chrome has been absolute trash for my Nexus 4, which is stock. It lags like no other. Anyone using chrome on the nexus 4 and isn't having the same problem, as in the browser works great? I'm currently using Dolphin to resolve the issue. But why would google make chrome the default browser when it clearly isn't ready for prime time? The stock ASOP browser was much better. Comments anyone?

I am using Chrome Beta works great. Feels faster and better then the stock one. Try the beta one and see how it is for you.
I've been using Dolphin over Chrome for a while now, can't get over the fact you can't set a home page for Chrome, I know you can set a home screen shortcut, but still.
No lag here. Using regular chrome and chrome beta.
No lag for me either. The only lag I get is when the page is still loading and I'm flicking around the screen. I will admit chrome lags on other devices. Its just the raw power of this phone thats making it not lag.

I don't have the S4,but on the Note 2 you could turn on quick controls bungling by going to Settings, Labs, Quick Controls. It's the only reason why I stick with the stick browser.

Quick Controls is not a option under the browser settings on S4... What to do?! I loved Quick Controls, if I don't get quick controls I am returning my S4 and just use my S3 instead...

the reason they crash on start is because they don't support JB. It says it in the app description if I recall correctly
you know what else isn't an option in the stock browser?
Open tabs in background window. what a load lol
However I have chrome installed and you can do the quick controls in labs.
Give it a shot.

I think they took it out a few updates ago.
Well... I actually send my Samsung galaxy S4 back because the browser did not have quick controls (Google labs). So now I am currently still using my S3, with quick controls. Studpid S4, even HTC One have Quick controls.
Bump! Quick controls on S4 have arrived or?

Check out the thread that Royalmath.. Posted above. It looks like there are instructions there. I also found the browser from the Google Play edition that will work too. Problem that I am having is that because I use a case on my phone and the S4 bezels are soo thin the thumb controls don't work too well because my case doesn't allow me to swipe from the edge cleanly. Vs the Note 2 or S3 which had thicker bezels and I had no issues at all.

Actually one thing I noticed, is that you can hold the left button, besides the home button, and that will bring up the web browser address field. Isn't this nearly as good as quick controls?

I have the S4 and I use the stock browser (not Chrome), it has the quick controls (settings/Labs/ enable Quick Controls). You can also install Flash for it.
I really don't understand why the others browsers don't use Quick/Pies controls... that's the only reason why I still use the stock browser/AOSP browser.
