Which Browser is for the X8 the Best?

1. Default Browser

2. Dolphin Browser

3. Opera Mini

4. Skyfire Browser

I use Dolphin and prefere it becouse of the add on. But i must say that i dont use many add ons probebly only one :o

So now i want to know which one is the best what is your opinion? and why?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Boshe:
Skyfire for me.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] hp-stuff:
Default Browser +1
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] maijinace:
you can vote also and it would be helpful when you say why you prefere the default browser.

I just have a question to whom who use dolphin! when i use the back botton to exit they always ask to clean or minimize or close the browser! i would prefere closing without asking is this possible?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] miensthemonst:
Its no problem to me just clear cache to clear memori
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] diegoxcore12:
Skyfire for me, only for the "flash player" but the tabs sucks.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Sleep00:
Dolphin mini

it's realy fast...
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] maijinace:
whats the diffrence to normal dolphin and it is also availeble for x8??

What you mean by flash player? for watchin movies on the browser? when i want to watch something it automaticly opens my player and i can watch it there?

hmm may be i sould also thest skyfire!
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] treebill:
when it detects embedded flash it converts it to HTML5 and sends it to your phone.

when i tried it, some times it worked some times in failed depends on skyfires servers.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] sawari:
For me Opera Mini 6 for daily browsing especially Mippin.com and sometimes Opera Mobile 11.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Imppy:
yes opera mini is fast and sufficient :)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Sleep00:
you can find dolphin mini in market, it's free, and difference? it's liter version than normal dolphin, doesn't have annoying advanced options and toolbars that fill your whole screen, try it, and decide, and also have gesture feature, witch are very useful while browsing...

my second choice is skyfire because of semi-fake flash player
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] diegoxcore12:
mmh skyfire detect a video in the web (flash) and open a skyfire player and you can watch the video, but have some bugs

sorry for my poor english jaja
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] andrasandhi:
how about xscope browser??
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Charmed :):
Definitely Opera Mobile 11, but for flash - Skyfire
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] nos1609:
Dolphin Browser (not mini nor hd)

Simple, fast, with tabs, tab preview, google bookmark sync and friendly as default browser with all its functionnality included.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] mati96PL:
for me , the best is native browser :D
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] maijinace:
Sorry i forgot it, or it would better to say that i dont know that exists ;) i am a new android user i would never imagine there will be so many browsers ;)

native browser??? do you meant the defauld browser or is this a new one which i dont know ;)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] igoparker:
operamini, because of my low connection : (
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Case87:

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] moslem63:

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] wmichael10:

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] X1111:

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] djtimon89:

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] megagas22:
dolphin not be used to fake dual touch
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] maijinace:
its realy look beatyful a little bit like chrome ;) but i switched yesterday to dolphin mini and its also looks good!

what i hate at all browsers that when i pushing long the return button thats asking me to close or minimize. i just want it to close fast ;)

@ all opera users do you use it becouse you have on your pc also opera??
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] nos1609:
I think so, because as firefox user i prefer browsers looking like chrome/FF ;)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] romcio47:
My top is definitely Dolphin Browser Mini - fast, intuitive, simple, weights less than 1 megabyte... Just try it and you'll love it!
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] mzmz83:
Miren Browser, my Fav.

Miren Browser
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Kyrius:
I'm using opera mobile on my X8 :) and i use opera on my pc as well ... it is the best choice after all
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] hugerth:
WHERE is MIREN BROWSER???
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Habarug:
I use Dolphin mini but Miren ain't bad either :-)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] fg_vf:
Skyfire! :)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] ian_granger:
I prefer Dolphin Mini , it's light and fast loading time :)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Zlosin:
default browser works good for me, i hate opera because PC version is terribly slow (apart from chrome/chromium)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] freeman77200:

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] sidewalk_:
Dolphin browser for life !!
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] :
Boat Browser!

Not as powerful as Dolphin in terms of extensible through plug-ins but a) free software and b) hasn't been involved in "phones home visited URLs" scandals (unlike Dolphin).
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Macbook86000:
Opera mini,dolphin is too bad...
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] muody:
For me the best browser is Ninesky. I do not know why it's not in the voting..
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] n1kolaa:
Dolphin browser and htc :D
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] AbirXtreme:
I Have tried all of them, and believe me nothing even comes close To dolphin Browser HD And Mini, The Dolphin Browser mini is recommended for those who don't really need soo many features, The hd Version has add ons, thats a huge advantage of it, i used to use Opera and sometimes skyfire, however, after Trying Dolphin Browser. Never Even Looked back at anything else,

So yeah Dolphin Browser is probably the best for now :cool:
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] zephiel:
Boat Browser, that's all.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] CloisterBlack:
Opera for me.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Papun:
i think best browser is boat browser. i like it very much.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Papun:
1.Boat Browser

2.Dolphin Browser HD/Mini

3.Opera Mobile/Mini

4.Skyfire
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] KASHYAP9:
For me Dolphin browser same as default browser in terms of speed. so opera mobile wins here.

In terms of Playing online games and flash player support.....i like dolphin and default.. so they win here.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] koledok:
For me, default browser, too.

X8 GDX
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] darkvoid101:
+1 for skyfire
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] KASHYAP9:
I love opera MObile cause it has resume support to all type download

but Dolphine and default Browser has no resume support to all downloads
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Lloir:
The amazon browser is pretty awesome
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] AbirXtreme:
really? i have been able to resume almost every download that ever broke off in my dolphin browser hd :confused:

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ----------

Yeah boat browser is great, but i still prefer dolphin because it has gotten rid of the home url visit probs and all, and also it has plug ins which plays a huge part while browsing in terms of speed both are pretty much the same
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Rijn12:
Dolphin Browser! it has a great GUI
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] .#4NDR01D_X8:
Opera 11

Sent from my blah blah blah... :D
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] lakiluki:
I use Opera and the default one!
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] mohybessar:
operaaaaaaaa
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] lsalamun:
Opera is really fast, but doesn't support some things, for example google is very low quality, also mobile facebook is without that new sidebar and all those extra things (it's maybe better for someone), i give also a +1 to defeault browser because it supports very much stuff, but in my opinion, Dolphin Mini wins for me.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] shark221:
Stock brower for me!!
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Papun:
i tested all browser and boat browser mini is best for me.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] cumicumi76:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] williamsean:
Hi,

I have a server(windows) at home where I store all my movies and music. From there I stream(using file-sharing) all those movies to the computers I use. Now I want to do this also on my phone, which is possible(seen in this topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=687163).

The problem lies with the following; Since a year or so I started only watching movies in 720p or more. Those formats are really big and even my i7 laptop with N wifi is having a hard time streaming those(some 1080p movie are not streamable). So this will definitly not work on my HD2, even with the new blazingly fast gingerbread rom;)

So I'm searching for a application that can re-encode the requested movie realtime to a smaller format(say 800 X 480) and stream it to my phone. Is there a solution like this?

I miss air video ( iphone ) on my hd2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] smeddy:
Ever so slightly off-topic but...

I have an Archos Tablet (Model 101), which has a 1Ghz processor (so same as HD2), but a 10.1 inch screen. If I use QQPlayer (as I do on the HD2), my video jerks all over the place, but if I use the Archos video player (which is hardware enabled), even 3GB Blue-Ray rips work fine.

So I think it *may* be possible, if you can find a hardware-enabled video player. Whether this is possible on the HD2 I'm not sure, but I'll watch this thread with interest/try my own ideas when my phone is back from HTC.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] williamsean:
A 3 gig blueray rip is not what i'm talking about, I'm talking about 10-20 gig full hd rips.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] smeddy:
Ah, TVersity may be your best bet. Works through the web-browser and was reasonable quality over Wifi, although not perfect and probably not even up to DVD/Divx standard :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jdivic:
orb maybe?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
i doubt you will find anything to re-encode it real time over the wifi

which device does the processing in that case? the machine sending it or the device requesting the file?

I have a HTC HD2 that i need to send to HTC next week for repair. the phone currently has android gingerbread running from NAND, magldr 1.13, clockwork recovery and cotulla HSPL 2.08. what i would like to know is what i need to do to remove HSPL 2.08 and put a HSPL on that i can restore back to cotulla HSPL 2.08 after HTC have repaired my phone, and also where i could possible get a stock rom?

Hey guys, ive had my streak for8 months now. I used to have a htc touch jd and I was used to the fact I could change to rom pretty easilly and I was spoilt for choice.

Im currently on official o2 2.2, iwas just wondering if there are any roms which are significantly improved in terms of looks and speed for the streak.and if so is there a good guide that tells me how to install them?

Any recomendations would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

[Nook Color General] tarheeldan:
Running CM7 nightly 31, with TetherGPS (HTC Thunderbolt server --> NC client).

Everything worked great until I rebooted the first time - then the Nav icon disappeared from the app drawer. Read a thread about choosing Nav from within Maps, but I have no such icon?

Uninstalled and reinstalled Maps from the market. Nav icon back. Rebooted. Nav icon gone. :confused:

How can I keep Nav from disappearing? Sucks to not be able to reboot :(
[Nook Color General] animatechnica:
assuming the nook is receiving gps data via tethergps, then when you program a location to drive in google maps, you will get a listed direction, on the top right corner of this list, the navigation icon appears

note if you're not receiving the gps data, the navigation icon does not appear
[Nook Color General] tarheeldan:
So Maps does an active check for GPS data? If it somehow does this check on boot, that might be why the Nav feature is disappearing.

To be clear, it works on first Maps install with tethergps enabled. If I then reboot, even if I enable tethergps as before, the Nav icon is gone, I can't find the Nav icon anywhere in Maps - even after asking for directions. Hitting nav in Car Home also says the feature doesn't exist.

Thanks though, I'll try again after work and make sure tethergps is active before I open up Maps - I could be remembering wrong.
[Nook Color General] danger-rat:
I had the same problem with the newer Maps, so I just run with an older version, and don't update.

Version I use is 4.5.1 (from Phiremod 5.1).
[Nook Color General] tarheeldan:
Sweet, downloaded Phiremod and found the Maps.apk in system\app. Thanks!
[Nook Color General] mjb413:
Apologies for resurrecting the thread, but I had the same question. Does installing an older version of maps fix this? I'm going to try myself here shortly. I will post results. I would, however, be interested to see if there is a fix for the new version of navigation. As the op suggested, after installing the navigation icon is there and works fine, but disappears after reboot. The maps application remains as still works fine.

edit: looked around some more. thanks to roboray. suggested opening up maps, tap directions, type where you are going. on the direction screen, you will see the blue navigation arrow in the upper right hand corner of the screen, press it and it opens navigation perfectly.

also just opened it through carhome and it works from there also. I wonder if there is a way to place the shortcut to it back in the app drawer.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anon30:
I have a sony Ericsson x10 mini pro. I'm wondering if its possible to move apps to my sd card, because the phone doesn't have a big internal memory. I heard something about having to root the phone, and doing something to the sd card. Could someone guide me through that, or tell me more about it? How will that effect the apps?

Thank you x

BTW, sorry if this is in teh wrong part of the forum, i wasn't sure what section it came under :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pashax1:
I am also trying to find out the answer to this question. All i have been able to find out through search is that one has to root the phone and there is probably just one application superone click that allows you to do that currently for X10mini/pro 2.1 version. However once one has rooted through superone click, how do you then transfer all your applications to the SD card and whether its possible or not is my question. Hoping someone answers soon so i can take the risk of rooting.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Linkz2r4:
There is an app that you can get at the market to enable you to transfer apps to SD..

App2SD and Link2SD.. just search on the Market

and also search the forums for these 2 apps, there are dedicated topics for these with more detailed discussions...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pashax1:
I've tried both App2SD and Link2SD along with a few others... none of them install on X10mini/pro runing on v 2.1. They require some sort of partition on the SD card which i have no idea how to do.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rasanu:
There is no. Of videos of partition of sd card in YouTube.

I m using link2sd and I feel its better than app2sd.

.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Tommylee567:
If you use Android 1.6/2.1 then you have to use link2SD.

Use this guide for partitioning the sd card

SD Card Partitioning

Or if you have gone to the new Android 2.2/2.3 you dont need these steps, because they are integrated in the OS itself. There are some advantages running 2.2 or 2.3

Good luck
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pashax1:
Thank you all... It worked!!! :D

Used link2SD and created partition on SD card as advised by Tommylee567. Transfered my apps to SD Card. Only issue i am having after the root is that Skype is giving me problems. Have to take the battery out to reset the phone and stop it from ringing continuously whenever someone calls me on skype. I didn't experience this problem before though.

Anyways atleast i got my apps transfered to SD Card.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] joeyneedshelp:
Thanks Tommylee

I have partitioned my ad and installed link2sd. However it gives an error saying the 2nd partition not found. i have followed all the steps correctly and my mini pro is rooted. Can anyone help? Please!!!

I have looked and been unable to find any links to source for CM6.1.2 WiMax Alpha 3. A tar.gz would be ideal but git-hub works as well as I can pull the tar from there. The reason for the request is to create a CM6/WiMax/HDMI release with full HW acceleration for those that need the pointer support that 6.1.2 provides.

I have tried the one SZ kernel that's available but it has the USB bug and HW accel detect issues and would rather start from a clean slate. Any help on source would be great. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViViDboarder:
It's the same kernel that is being used for CM7. You can roll that back if you want.

Also, why would you want a CM6 ROM when CM7 RC3 just came out?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokifish Marz:
So Alpha3 Froyo is actually a GB kernel? Didn't know that.

I'll check the RC3 change log to see if BT KB/mouse issues have been fixed. If not then still stuck at 6.1.2.

(update) Can find no mention of pointer support on CM7 other than requests. Nothing listed in change log.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiicytuna:
The android-x86 project doesn't even have this working yet so it will be a while before cm7 gets it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokifish Marz:
That's what I figured, so hopefully I can find source for froyo alpha3. If I don't get anything from this Q&A post I'll contact shinzul directly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViViDboarder:
Merge the patches from the CM7 kernel in to your CM6 kernel then if you don't like the CM7 kernel.

That's the source...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiicytuna:
Why would you want to do this? The kernel from cm7 will boot cm6. The cm7 kernel is not specific to gingerbread.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokifish Marz:
Was having mouse cursor issues when I tried that but not on the stock alpha3.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViViDboarder:
Also... Rather than wasting time porting HDMI back to an old rom, why not work on a patch for pointer support in CM7?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiicytuna:
ahh; then merge the patches from the CM7 hdmi opensource kernel into your CM6 kernel and you'll be golden...but then the question starts to be why not work on porting the hid/mouse support from cm6 to cm7 which seems like the more logical choice of time to benefit all as most people aren't going to want to fall back to cm6.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokifish Marz:
I agree that it does make more sense try to port hid/mouse to cm7 but I still haven't found/seen a real fix to the slow usb issue on the new kernel. My linux is also a bit rusty.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agrabren:
As a reminder, since that build is no longer distributed, the source no longer needs to be made available. The GPL only requires source availability on distribution. If you didn't retrieve the source when the distribution was made available, there's no requirement for kernel devs to go and find a valid point of reference after the fact.

When the alphas were released, the kernel source was made available. The links to the source were removed at the same time the primary distribution link was removed.

Oh well. Back to square one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dees_Troy:
My memory is a little fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure that we were recommending a 2.6.34 kernel with Alpha 3. It took me but a few minutes to come up with:

https://github.com/toastcfh/cm-kernel/tree/android-msm-2.6.34/

Of course, this kernel has it's own "sleep bug" in that it doesn't let the phone go to sleep at all. Not exactly good for battery life, but you're welcome to fork it and make your own changes.

Use the switch branches dropdown if you want to try one of toastcfh's various 2.6.35 branches instead, but I'm pretty sure those have the USB bug.
