Still figuring all of this out

I am still new to this and learning (slowly) as I go. It has been my understanding from reading other forums that you do not need a custom kernel for this. If I understand correctly there are kernels out there that sort of "add" to the existing kernel in order to get the desired result.

For example it is my understanding that this is the reason why programs such as setcpu are able to overclock/underclock without changing to a custom kernel. They apparently create a file that adds this ability to the exisitng stock kernel.

As said already it is my understanding from reading posts on other forums (some dating back to Aug, 2010) that "TAZ" has solved this issue. But I am unable to figure out how to get a hold of TAZ or his/their apps. Much less instrcutions on how to do this. Should I just assume that the posts I have read stating this is possible are in error?

Search for system panel on the market. It allows for the cpu and battery temps to be seen for the EX. No hacks required.

Craigslist is better

I buy all my phones off craigslist now. I used to get ebay by searching for deals then I found out what kind of crap they are involved in and their corrupt practices with paypal so I switched to craigslist (Although ebay does own quite a lot of stock of clist, it doesn't require that I give them any money...)

There are a lot of people who have phones they simply don't know how to use, and so really don't know the true value of the device. That's when I buy them.

The touch pro 2 I have now I purchased for 50$

I also purchased a Desire recently for 100$

Many other phones besides.

Did I also mention that you can resell them there? And it's good for the economy :)

I just flashed CM7 coming from Fresh ROM. I had previously added the notification widget toggle in Fresh and really liked it. The one in CM7 has only 4, 1 of which I actually use. Is there anyway to change what widget toggle items are in the notification pull-down? Thanks for the help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Yeah, and you can add as many toggles as you want, change the order, etc. The options are under settings > Cyanogenmod settings > interface > notification power widget or something like that. I'm running MIUI right now, so I can't check, but when I was on CM7 it was in CM settings somewhere.

Maybe someone running CM7 or that knows for sure can confirm where it is.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dufran3:
thx m8! That is exactly where it is. Can't believe I didn't already look in there...:(...

How are you liking MIUI, funny because I went from Fresh, to MIUI, to CM7, only kept MIUI for 1 day, after finding out that no GPS and having a voicemail phantom icon...I had to switch...;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I don't have an icon for vm at all, but haven't tried installing it. It worked for me okay on CM7, haven't tried it on MIUI. And I rarely use gps (I have a great sense of direction and rarely travel far), but I didn't need to do the fix, it just worked - turn by turn & everything. I like it, though. My life's a little hectic right now, so the simplicity of the MIUI launcher works well for me. It's the first time I've used a "stock" launcher (if you want to call it that) since like a week after I got my Evo.

That being said, I'll still probably switch to CM7 final within a week. Cyanogenmod just has it all, and this is the first time I've used anything else for more than a day. I'd suggest giving MIUI another shot at some point though. They just released the "final" version. I haven't tried it yet, but some of your issues may be fixed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well if you want VVM, you'll have to go to sense, make sure it works, backup the app and data, then restore. As for CM7 final, no problems here and on the Tiamat kernel = sick battery life, non-sbc.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dufran3:
The MIUI GUI is aboslutely amazing! and that is what I loved about it. But I tried it just 2 days ago, on their most current release and the GPS wasn't working for me. Also, I use google voice, however there was a stock voicemail notification that wouldn't ever go away, seems pretty common. I liked MIUI so much that I have used some of the .apk's in my CM7 setup. Mainly the MIUIMusic and Camera, which are quite...lovely? I really wanted the File Explorer, but I've heard around that it doesn't work on CM7, which is a bummer. All in all, CM7 seems to be the ROM I will stick with for the time being.

Edit: oh yeh, and what ultimately made me choose CM over MIUI was that I read on their forum that Hardware version 004 has issues with it, mainly the GPS doesn't work...:(

Otherbugs I had: White screen flash when scrolling and white text bug :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dufran3:
Hadn't looked into any specific kernel to run yet... should I really consider using Tiamat? And if so, do I just flash in recovery? Will I have to Re-flash and setup CM7 afterwards?

Thanks for the help!

Edit: Also, wasn't wanting VVM, I heard that it is a common problem with AOSP ROMS. I still have that same notification issue in CM7, but there is an option to hide VVM notifications, and since I'm using Google Voice for voicemail, it works great. MIUI didn't seem to have that option to hid the VVM notification.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
Boot to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik, flash kernel. Do not wipe data. You will not need to re-set up anything.

can't sign in to google, i always end up on http://https://signin.google.com/... after entering my login data with 2-way-auth enabled (and yes, i tried removing one of the protocol identifiers)
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@XlAfbk, are you trying to access http://signin.google.com/ ?

Or you are trying to sign into any Google service? By the way, I was able to sign into Gmail...

Please let us know, thanks alot =)
[Android Apps and Games] irish22022:
I dont understand the gestures. Is there a way to set your own? Is there a way to just go back or forward with a screen swipe? I see the yellow line but I dont see any settings for it.

Other then that, its passed my 10 minute test. Ill try it longer. Haven't tried flash yet, or sharing links, copy and paste. Cool ui though. Very miren.
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@irish22022, thanks alot for your feedback.... we'll thinking of adding gestures setting in future releases.. =) Please stay tuned, and let us know any other feedback after more testing,,, thanks alot again Irish22022.

Hi,

Been using this for past couple of days.

Good points.

1 Fast but not the fastest

2 Instant back

3 RSS doesn't seem to auto start any more

4 Nice layout

Bad points

1 Uses way too much memory, only had Maxthon running with one tab but it was using over 95mb & between 0 & 60% of CPU

2 No real way to customise search engines, always searches google.com & not google.co.uk

3 Start page with the collapsible links looks like Miren & again doesn't seem to allow changing or editing the links

All in all a lot better than v1 but still some room for improvement, suffice to say uninstalled dolphin mini to use this as backup browser as Xscope Pro is main browser.

Cheers,

Banzi.
[Android Apps and Games] sageDieu:
1. If you open a secure link from another app (say my friend sends me a Facebook link, https://Facebook.com...) then it puts HTTP:// in from of the already existing protocol designator. That should be fixed.

2. It still has the issue where sometimes on opening it it will reopen links that I've clicked before in a new tab and I have to close it.

3. You should definitely get flash options working (e.g. always on, click to play, etc) because A. flash ads are annoying and mess with mobile formatting and B. they use a lot of memory.

4. It would be really nice if we could choose what the default page is, like bookmarks or a new tab page or something. I never use the home page with all those links, I'd like to be able to open the browser straight to whatever page I want.

5. This isn't an issue, just personal preference... I love that you guys got themes working, but I don't really like glossy gradients, like on the tab. I think it would look better if it were just a dark gray to medium gray from the bottom to the top of the tap to give it a shadowy look instead of shiny. (that's on the gray theme of course but the same principle would apply.)

All in all, great work and you guys have really improved this browser.

@BanziBaby, thanks for trying it out. It is the bad points that we pay extra attention to. The bad points are great great suggestions...
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@sageDieu, thanks much for taking the time to give us these comments.

Yes, we're aware of the issue with secure links. =(

Also, we LOVE the default page suggestion from you......
[Android Apps and Games] sageDieu:
I believe one good way to conserve memory would be to have flash click to play as I suggested. I've noticed very major memory spikes when even a couple of simple flash ads are loading on a site. And on some music blogs and things that have a lot of little flash players (like up to 20 on a page) it becomes almost unusable.

you're welcome btw, glad to help. I love beta testing and bug reporting :P

[Android Apps and Games] marcedli:
Nice work guys, just downloaded and tried out:

I would have few notes for first sight

1. When you drag the page and try to scroll up/down there is at about 5-7 millimeters of finger-move when nothing happens. Scrolling shoud be instant and not laggy. BTW at the same time for basic scrolling movements (r/l/u/d) appears the yellow line too, which is useless as far as it's not a gesture.

suggestion: no line for scrolling gestures

try to find cause of that lag

2. When I enter an URL and the page appears i like to have an overview of the whole page first in order to find the interesting part easily.

suggestion: It would be good to have page overview as default page loading method or at least a switcher in the settings for it.

3. Entering URL during browsing is not comfortable.

-there's no possibility of that in fullscreen mode

-in normal mode you have to scroll to the top, but the url bar is still not there, THEN u grab the page again and pull it down: now u can see the bar.

suggestion: easiest would be when u push the menu button the url bar appears too, or at least a button for the menu for new page; both in normal/fullscreen mode

Thx, it's a really good start :)

edit: forgot to mention - Samsung Galaxy S
[Android Apps and Games] Lokifish Marz:
Another bug found. When posting in forums (this one for example) you are unable to attach files. This is not an issue with the stock browser, Firefox Mobile or Miren.

Also. What's the word on flash content floating above the browser UI and a "Desktop UI" option?

(Having the two threads is a little confusing. Hopefully this is the right thread for 2.0.)
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@marcedli,

suggestion 1) is very very nice, and we're aware of this now

suggestion 2) what do you mean by the page overview?

suggestion 3) I am seeing the addressbar when I browser, are you referring to a particular page when you browse and you dont see the addressbar?

Thanks for all the great feedback.... =)
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@Lokifish Marz, thanks for reporting the bug of not able to attach files

"What's the word on flash content floating above the browser UI and a "Desktop UI" option?", i know that you dont mean by UA strings, but can you elaborate a little more?

Also, what do you mean by two threads? You mean I have two threads for Maxthon Mobile in XDA? Thanks much =)
[Android Apps and Games] Lokifish Marz:
If you guys get the file upload and flash/iframe issue fixed you'll be ahead of everybody else. Only the stock browser has file upload, proper flash/iframe binding and flash playback.

Examples of a "Desktop UI" As far as the feature set, it's covered in the linked thread. If you have more questions or need more specific details then feel free to PM me.
[Android Apps and Games] inimitableac:
The only problems I have is it closes your tabs now when you try to goto another app and come back
[Android Apps and Games] BanziBaby:
Some other observations,

Opening a boo0kmark always opens in a new tab even if open in new tab isn't ticked in options.

As the poster above says if you use the built in task switcher on galaxy S the browser always seems to open another tab that replicates one that is already open.

Can't seem to find a way to use speed dial as main page rather than the links page there is the now or is that the speed dial page?

On demand option for flash is needed badly as all the flash ad's slow down browsing.

More themes or support for user themes (the gray theme is more blue than grey & a black theme would be nice)

Keep up the great work, damn fine browser you have made.

Cheers,

Banzi.
[Android Apps and Games] maxthon:
@BanziBaby, thanks for all the great feedback.

On demand flash and flash playback is already in the works..

the speed dial page is the page when you open a new tab...=)

If possible, I would like to be able to import or access existing bookmarks in the stock browser. Since I don't use Maxthon on my desktop (I used to!), it's a bit cumbersome to import the bookmarks.
[Android Apps and Games] marcedli:
when you open a page then double click on it: thats what i call overview:)

another bug found: when you enter an url, then select it, you cannot modify it, only retype all. You cannot position the cursor anywhere inside the url.

suggestion: for quick dial input fields it would be good to be able to select current url and links from the favorites

you should consider floating buttons since everyone uses two fingers for zooming (faster) and maybe it would be better to adjust the text wrapping (adjusting text to screen)to that if possible.

the wap switcher floating button is useless imho, I don't think that many users browse on that: android is not about so restricted and awful browsing.

cheers

ps.: suggestion 3 was my fault, ignore it :)

@marcedli,

"when you open a page then double click on it: thats what i call overview" - I did exactly what you described, but I still do not see overview..

"another bug found: when you enter an url..." - I was able to modify, hummm, it still could be a bug if it happens with some phone

"suggestion: for quick dial input fields..." - great, great suggestion; by the way, we have it designed this way in our PC browser, again, another reason you should try out our PC browser....=)

Thanks for all the great feedback, marcedli

Yes, you always have to keep in mind that I use galaxy s and now the first gingerbread release, so it easily can be a model-specific issue. Tomorrow I'll try to provide you with some screenshots...

Got pm :)

New discovery: when I click on edit profile link, the page appears in chinese language which is a bit hard for me to understand and handle (btw I was surprised that my maxthon passport still alive) :)

The url bar problem is kind of solved now. When I try to tap into the address somewhere I still can't (the url stays highlighted and the arrow is positioned at the beginning), but I can grab the arrow (which shows the place of the cursor) and slide it anywhere in the url text and modify it.

The avatar idea is really nice with the camera but it would be good to simply use common image files too

Nice, I used to be a hardcore Maxthon user till Chrome came on the scene. Maxthon is just as fast as dolphin HD which is OK I suppose but my main issue with Maxthon right now is that there are no plugins. I really like to use lastpass and I'll try using Maxthon more once that becomes avalible (not lastpass specifically but plugins in general.....although lastpass would be a major Plus)

A few requests

Hello. Great app, gonna change the default browser for this!!

A few requests, if you can do would be GREAT:

1. Auto import bookmarks from the global bookmarks in Android.

2. As everyone requested, customize the homescreen

3. Instead of using the Maxton Account (which I don't see myself using at all), why not linking the accounts to the Google Chrome accounts so syncing can happen?

Let me know your thoughts.

Thank you so much for the great app,

[Android Apps and Games] sageDieu:
Just had a nifty idea with theming... since the way you're doing it now with everything being the same color it probably wouldn't be too hard to let people just use a couple of sliders to male their own color, like just hue and saturation, maybe brightness. Might need a choice for white or black text as well. But that would be easier than releasing your themes or anything else.

Great browser, the new version is greatly improved.

One thing I would like to mention, is there should be an option to load new pages "zoomed out". When opening a new page, it loads in a zoomed in state. It would be nice if it worked like the stock browser and when you open a new web page, it's zoomed out so you can see the whole page and then you can zoom in wherever you want. I think someone earlier called it "overview", but hopefully this explains it better. :)

Question: Does maxthon use the system webkit engine for rendering html? or does it include its own engine (webkit/trident)?

I remember using maxthon (MyIE2) way back, when IE was a necessity and FF was new. The tabs, adblocking and speed were the main draw.
[Android Apps and Games] Calz-:
I absolutely love this browser. I was tired of dolphin hd forceclosing on me all the time, I have been using this for a whole day, and haven't had a FC the whole time. I did find a problem though, as I was logging onto my twitter I clicked on the xda tab I had opened and my twitter loaded on that page, but I just pressed back and problem solved. Besides that though I love it completely(my default browser).
