Thanks works awsome :) all the htc browsers come with this option already enabled, it was driving me mad lol thanks
[Xperia Play General] tcat007:
I'd been using Opera Mini for a while and just tried Boat (now at Appbrain and Market), and I really like Boat. Once you change the skin to black, it looks even better! I think it's about a tie in speed. Opera has MUCH better bookmark handling, neither seem to use system default bookmarks. I think the text and graphics in Boat are MUCH crisper than Opera. Boat plays video and animations much smoother (Opera seems to pixelate between slides in a slideshow).

Only thing that Boat lacks (would be easy to add), is bookmark sorting (and possibly tying directly into default bookmarks). Needs one other switch in settings for fullscreen in portrait mode (has one for landscape, odd both aren't there). That would make it perfect for me.

My first post :) no questions here :D just a couple requests for developer.

xperia play user here..
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
I use opera.. Nothing beats having all your favorite sites already at the homescreen.
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
And nothing beats Opera Mini for speed either.

When i have poor data signal and it reverts to 3g, pages still load lightning quick on Opera Mini wherease other borwsers can take 30-60 seconds, even longer.

I have come to the conclusion Opera Mobile/Boats fro Wi-fi and Opera Mini for 3g is the best setup.
[Xperia Play General] tcat007:
Browser app size

When I first installed Boat browser is was about 700k (moved to SD), says 1244k at appbrain, so I assume it "shrank" moving to SD. Last week I noticed it was like 1.6mb (cleared cache and history); today it says 2.2mb (all cleared). I only have 4 bookmarks. What can cause this increase? I don't want to clear data, since that will remove settings and bookmarks.... but what kind of other data could it be? :confused:
[Xperia Play General] jacklebott:
I love that this browser actually renders all pages correctly! I was getting some pages greyed-out with all the other browsers I tried, but this one works like a champ and loads them!
[Xperia Play General] Laird_Attwood:
I tried boat browser moving from Opera when this thread was originally started but just wasn't for me. Currently happy using Dolphin HD

(which has reminded me I need to check its settings to get rid of that annoying finger sype stuff)
[Xperia Play General] rockky:
I've done a ton of across the board tests of all the browsers (I depend on internet access on the go). I used 15 fairly graphic heavy sites and in terms of download speed Boat Browser was without a doubt the best (actually barely bested stock).

If you clear your caches and cookies and do a similar test you'll find the same.

The intraapp features and dynamics are secondary to me...but it is smooth and very easy to navigate.

Skyfire Browser

Skyfire Browser makes your mobile web experience richer, smarter and more fun!

Skyfire is the world’s smartest & most social mobile browser!
[Xperia Play General] jiyucn:
Yes. I love Boat Browser too. UI is great. I love both black and blue theme. Bookmark is a little inconvenient indeed. Hope the dev team will fix this problems. Also, customize full screen is also in dev progress. It will reveal soon.

---------- Post added at 03:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

I think both Boat Browser, Skyfire and Dolphin are great. The dev work so hard to give us such fantastic apps. Thanks.
[Xperia Play General] DeanBoro:
I use Firefox browser :)

very stable and reliable and fast!
[Xperia Play General] TLRtheory:
I was about to get on your case... then I checked the new version.

Holy crap things have changed! Firefox is MUCH faster than it used to be.

I tried out Boat... it seemed too limited and restrictive... felt like I was on iOS using that dreadful Safari again...

Opera was lovely, very speed efficient and didn't use that garbage download manager all the other browsers use, but I hate the way it formats my pages.

Me and Dolphin don't get along, xScope is just a ghetto Google Chrome wannabe with screwed up scaling options... Netfront is actually 'cute' about bookmarks/open tabs... but not ideal for use. I kinda liked Angel Browser, but something about it just made me uninstall it.

Miren's the only one I've stuck with.
[Xperia Play General] rockky:
Boat mini downloads sites about 5-7sec faster than Miren
[Xperia Play General] jiyucn:
You really tried a lot of browsers. I checked Miren. It seems they don't update this app since early this year. It's abandoned?
[Xperia Play General] TLRtheory:
Iuno, maybe. Its got the closest tab system to chrome while allowing status-bar free fullscreen, and formats my pages the way I want...so I stick with it
[Xperia Play General] IE-coRe:
+1 for Dolphin HD bocouse it looks and feels like Google chrome on PC.
[Xperia Play General] tcat007:
I've had Boat Mini on my Optimus-V for 6 months or so. I've tried all the others for at least a week, but keep coming back to Boat. It's less complex, faster (IMO), and renders some pages better than others (IMO).

Also has various UA selections (android, desktop, iphone, IE, Firefox, Safari, and ipad), in case a page looks wrong or doesn't load. I'm always on Desktop and never had an issue.

At first my only gripe was bookmarks, but I like a much smaller set of BMs on my phone than my PC. I made a custom HTML page that I placed at root on SD card with the bookmark links I want, sorted how I want. I use it as my homescreen on any browser I try and on Boat Mini (path: file:///mnt/sdcard/"filename"). This eliminates all the different BM problems you can have, and is very easy to update as required. Screenshot of my Boat Mini home screen:
[Xperia Play General] jiyucn:
Boat mini suppose to have simple UI and easy-to-use style. It doesn't intent to add many features or complicated UI. It fits the people who want every thing is simple.

For the bookmarks, there should be more to be done. One great thing is sync. Maybe some feature about this should be added into Boat Mini.

---------- Post added at 01:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 AM ----------

Yep. They did a great job. It seems the developers come from China.

---------- Post added at 01:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 AM ----------

It seems Dolphin 7.0 comes out. Some new features about cloud sync is in this version. They are great.
[Xperia Play General] seraph_desire:
what is the difference between "boat browser" and "boat browser mini"??
[Xperia Play General] tcat007:
I tried them both and only difference I saw was UI is a bit better on Mini. Why there's 2 who knows, and why "Mini" with a larger app size is called "mini" :confused: Blue icon or Green icon... Mini has a lot more downloads... Blue Boat does support Bookmark folders, the only real difference I noticed (and does appear to be updated more). He needs to combine it into one.
[Xperia Play General] seraph_desire:
ya, cant notice any major differences....is a bit strange to have a "mini" with larger file size...confusing..

so, which one is better actually??
[Xperia Play General] phantazizta:
Opera mini
[Xperia Play General] tcat007:
OK, Boat Mini just got worse (at least on my phone). On version 2.9.1 all the text got real small. I have text set on "Large" and my home page (which is an html document), was fine with about 10 lines on a page. Now it's about 30 lines on a page and can't read unless zoomed. I went back a rev and it's fine now. Why mess with something that ain't broke?

It's still the best Browser (IMO).
[Xperia Play General] dannejanne:
Thanks for the tip but I'm fully happy with Opera (not mini) since it's also hardware accelerated and just works.

Hmm by the way it looks like they have ripped off MIUI in the interface.
[Xperia Play General] rockky:
I've been tempted by Opera Mobile. Its the only other one I seriously consider,...download it again every now and then...but after testing download speeds again on the big sites I use, always return to boat mini...its 'lighter on its feet' and quicker to get to places I need within the app

---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

Hmmm not here ...u might try uninstalling reboot install reboot again

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

With root explorer, please, how would you 1. create this html file 2. Insure that bookmarks created go there!

Thanks
[Xperia Play General] tcat007:
I created the html file on a PC (with HTML Kit), with links on each bookmark. Placed that file on my SD card, and created my home-screen page to open to:

file:///mnt/sdcard/"filename" (example about 9 threads above).
[Xperia Play General] shiftylock:
I switched between opera and boat, but lately boat has been proving itself much, much better for my play. I use opera on my infuse because it looks better, but for the xperia play boat browser is by far my favourite.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padlad:
Why don't you just use the UOT kitchen? Its a hell of a lot easier than doing it all yourself.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walda:
I would do the following:

* Extract your framework-res.apk

* let UOT cook a new one with Battery Mod

* replace png in the UOT cooked apk

no decompilation and so on needed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spline1:
That's it?

No Decompilation, no editing the xml?

Only UOT Kitchen and ready?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walda:
if u only want to change the pictures, yes. UOT does the rest for you. UOT changes the xml files für 1% steps while loading and so on.

you can change every picture, if the pic already exists in the apk by simply copýing another over it. no decompile needed.

Edit:

Same in SysytemUI.apk. So you can simply change to "green google" icons.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueScreenJunky:
Thanx, I might do that. I wasn't sure if UOT worked with SGS2.

Although the point of doing it myself was in great part to learn how to do it. So I'm still curious about what I was doing wrong...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spline1:
Thanks,

i test it on the new firmware in future.

I extract the framework, put it on the uot, let's cooking and copy in the phone ;-)

I'm using This one at the moment (or at least I got a very similar result to this one using the UOT kitchen). I'll wait for the next update or next time I brick my phone to get the original unmodified apk.

Still don't understand how to manually edit the xml though, and still curious about it.

By the looks of things, I would guess 60. I might be wrong though. I thought I would hate the video camera because of the lower resolution. I also expected it to be the usual low and blurry framerate of my previous phones. I was pleasantly surprised. One of the things I don't like about it is the lens is too wide angle for me. I prefer something closer to what the average person sees which is in the 50mm range (slr). It puts things too far away in the picture when I'm actually close to what I'm capturing.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
I've installed Amon Ra on my Nexus One as part of the process to get cyanogen running on it. I did the fastboot oem unlock + flash amon ra + manual update zip process.

Part of the reason was that for some reason I could never boot into clockwork recovery (yes I followed the wiki to the letter), and could only access the standard recovery (which doesn't allow custom roms, says the signature is invalid), the one in blue font. So I flashed amon ra instead and that worked fine.

Can I now flash back to clockwork, and even better, just do it via rom manager? Is there any risk or downside?

This is because I'm reading that amon ra doesn't have a wipe option, and that its better to wipe when you upgrade roms (or is that another fallacy or am I mis interpreting things)

cheers
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LFact:
1. If you didn't find and delete recovery-item-boot.p and install-recovery.sh, they will restore stock recovery when boot, regardless of what custom recovery you flashed.

2. You can change your recovery via ROM Manager, or manually. By the way, Amon RA Recovery has wipe option, of course. Where did you read that from?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
1.) I'm pretty sure I'm booting into amon_ra, it has a nandroid backup option.

My attempt (fail) to install clockwork was exactly the same as how I successfully installed amon: via fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery-RA-nexus-v2.1.1-CM.img after unlocking the bootloader. I didn't manually find and delete those files you specified (wouldn't even know how TBH), just followed the Cyanogen wiki.

2.) Cool good to know. I suppose then there's no point in changing really. I was just reading posts and saw it referenced several times. Maybe they were out of date or early on in the piece.

Out of curiosity, is it worth wiping if you're just upgrading between the same version e.g. cyanogen 7.03 to future 7.04?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
I much prefer Amon 2.2.1 It is 2.2.1 which is the latest version, not 2.1.1

Stay away from CW 3.+

Amon has a Data/Factory reset wipe for installing new roms, I wipe 5X with it. And, a Dalvik Cache and Cache options. Do those 5X also

If doing nightlies, just wipe the caches

Here is a link to a System Wipe zip you can flash from recovery. That is probably what they were taliking about. CW has that option and Amon will on the next version, I think.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723844&page=1767

Ken

PS:

Otherwise, like mentioned you will default back to CW even if you flashed 2.2.1 thru Rom Manager on reboot.

Or, you can flash Amon thru fastboot and remove the two scripts mentioned above by LFact
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
Thanks mate I'll just keep using Amon

So you're saying to wipe I have to flash that zip, there's no way of just wiping it from the menu options before flashing the relevant ROM?

But in any event since I'm on CM7 I'll only be doing minor version bumps for the foreseeable future lol

I"m confused about the reboot issue: I can reboot into Amon at any stage. I haven't deleted those scripts. But you guys are telling me that unless I delete those scripts if I reboot I'll go back to stock recovery?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick1313:
Sorry wrong thread.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
@wintermute000

Yes, flash the system wipe zip from recovery like any zip. Only a few seconds. Hopefully , it will be in next Amon version.

Never an issue with Amon--

Get Quick System from market and use it to boot into recovery--exc app

Then you don't need Rom Mgr or CW--better that way

If you install Amon thru Fastboot or Terminal, it will not be erased on reboots--you still need to delete the two scripts mentioned before any rebooting

See post three on this link--DR has a flash able zip to do it--nandroid always first on this stuff

http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...330-custom-recovery-wont-stick.html#post99962
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LFact:
If you type

in terminal and it shows error message such as 'no file or directory', it means they were already removed. (I think ROM manager automatically remove them when flashing Clockwork recovery. When I changed to RA recovery, I found out those 2 files were gone)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazykidd:
If you're still curious about changing recovery, you can. I accomplished this yesterday by using Amon to flash a ROM with root access, then I downloaded CwM from the market. Installed the recovery using CwM. It's a simple process as long as you have root. As for going back to Amon, I haven't tried that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
Those files are gone (I didn't do rm, I just did basic ls in those directories). So I guess somehow during my Amon flashing it deleted it. Good to know.

Thanks for your patience all, I think I'll just stick to Amon then if I can just as easily wipe using a zip file if I need to. From what I've read I won't need to wipe anyway if I'm upgrading minor versions (i.e. CM7.03 to say 7.04 or nightly) and that's all I'm interested in doing. Hopefully by the time CM8 comes around I'll have taken the plunge on something dual core!!!

The whole reason I started investigating root/flash etc. was to give my N1 more legs until the price/performance point for the dual core phones gets to a better state, and its more than done that, I'm kicking myself for not doing it earlier. I guess once you're familiar with it then its a piece of cake, but I was reluctant for ages as I didn't want to screw up my PHONE (as opposed to say a tablet).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
You don't need to remove those files since after you loaded Amon_RA, you installed CyanogenMod. Those files are used in Stock Android to replace whatever recovery you may have with the stock recovery on every boot.

I would still download the flashable zip that rugmankc linked to for formatting /system. Like I said in the CM forums, it normally isn't necessary when upgrading from minor versions, but sometimes it is the only thing you can do to fix a phone. I figure it is better to download it and never use it, then need it and having a hard time finding it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
+1 bass

@wintermute000,

I still wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache between nightlies. Seemed like the time or two I didn't do it, I had an issue.

The deal on using System Wipe if flashing new rom or if a lot of versions in between is:

When you flash a new rom it wipes system, but backs up some files from old rom first and reinstalls them as part of the new rom. After while things get cluttered, so a system wipe prolongs more serious issues. It has reduced the amount of times I need to do a complete wipe and/or sd card redos.

All Props to Temasek on this stuff :)
