Hi, has anyone noticed that when you scroll or pan in the browser (and also gmail occasionally) the view 'sticks' at a certain point, and then jumps to catch up to your finger?

It's not a performance thing - you can do it really slowly and it still happens. It almost feels like it is trying to stick to paragraphs and object edges, but I've had it when just viewing and image as well.

Also, is there a bug tracker we can use, or a list of known bugs for the SGS2? If not I will start one in the wiki.

Stupid question I'm sure but I switched my PRL to us cellular and use there nid/sid for home tower what's the difference between doing that and unlocking a phone. Could I do the same on my hero and give it to my brother who goes through them and let him use it??
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
Unlocking is a GSM term. With GSM phones, there is no PRL; the list is built into the SIM card. You just switch SIM cards and that switches service/numbers. To unlock a phone is to remove the restriction it has to one carrier; if you put a T-Mobile SIM into a locked AT&T phone, it will ask you for the unlock/subsidy code to be able to use it on other networks (it asks you only once, permanently).

Which NAND ROM provides the longest battery life before tweaking with SetCPU and/or JuiceDefender? I would like to have peeps provide here their opinion or proof before I settle on a single ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

I had a NAND ROM once.

I installed it, charged it to the Max, powered it down, and put it in the cupboard for a week.

And guess what. There was still some charge on it when I switched it on again!

Great, another "whats got bets battery life" topic, we have been running short on these and other circular never ending topics like them, lets all enjoy at the finality of the answers.

Go and try some roms and find out what has best battery life for YOU because what MAY have good life for us doesn't necessarily translate to best for YOU.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ujjwal321:
just bought a second hand hd2 yesterday... I thought this thread was a good place to start... but all I saw was worthless answers... at least you could have given a one word answer rather than writing 2-3 lines long sentences..

you guys might be pro at flashing but there will always be some one like me who is new to this forum.. and I don't think the question about best ROM and best battery life will stop... be honest... if you were new to this forum,, where would you start?"?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jsmccabe78:
with reading, reading, reading. and with experimenting. with trying something out and not expecting it to be 100% perfect the first time i did it. not posting and expecting others to solve basics for me.

but i digress. so many threads about "best this" or "best that"...it seems that people are hesitating to experiment or impatient at that their first choice may not be the best answer.

anyways. blah blah.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kameirus:
new to the forum huh

youve been a member since 2008
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Enjoy :)

How can you give a "one word" answer to this question? Aprt from maybe "search" or "read"

1) Been pro at flashing has absolutley nothing to do with it, Its about common sense and not been LAZY.

2) You've been a member here since 2008!!!!

That doesnt mean you cant point out the fact that its a rediculous topic to make because its already been made over and over again, In the least it will make the OP aware that next time he/she/himshe needsto use search or take a simple browse of the sections before cteating a topic (ITS ALSO IN THE RULES AT NUMBER 1)

Is this some kind of joke? Are you seriously asking this question?

I start the same place I would do on ANY forum...

Search Button

Sticky Topics

Reading topics

All these "best" topics are completley useless other then to clog up the forum with useless junk, There is just too many of them and they always have the same answers. In some section they get closed/deleted by mods so its not as if we are complaining for no reason.

Anyway, Welcome to the HD2 forum some advice for you...

DO NOT create topics in the dev section, Its for posting dev releases/work/reference ONLY!

DO NOT create "Best rom" or "Best Battery" or any other kind of "best" topics as they will always get same response, "best" is subjective upon the user, The ONLY way to find the "best" is to try it yourself because best for you is not always best for us etc.

PS. Incase you wasnt aware, All XDA n00bs at registration are give this video to watch so they have absolutely no excuse creating topics that are going to be obviously a FAQ, Its just common sense, ANY question that a n00b can think of has very likely already been asked AND answered a million times already so all they have to do is take 2 seconds to look, its as simple as that.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ujjwal321:
OK so the new to the forum thing should have been new to HD2 forum. I have been following the galaxy S forum for last few months. so I know the basics..

but I don't want to go through tens of threads so the best thing would be to ask or look for best ROM topic..

yes it is irritating to read all the best ROM, kernel topics but that's what newbies like to know.. I think the solution would be add a newbie section.. so that the development section will remain clean.. or you could just stop replying to such threads... whats up with that? ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ykkfive:
hi all,

NOTICE: 20110713 2213HKT

for rom makers:

PLEASE, add a warning or such to let ppl know this is NOT a bugs-free version, and problems may occur. thank you

for users:

as to use this fix:

- u need a deodexed rom

- be sure your /system is mounted as rw (read/write) but no ro (read only) mode

-BACKUP /system/app/Browser.apk (and Browser.odex if any)

-remove /system/app/Browser.apk (and Browser.odex if any)

-copy the new modified Browser.apk to /system/app/ with adb or root explorer and the like (PS just COPY, NO NEED to install the apk!!)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i'm too frustrated with samsung's stock browser since JP6, and the deodexed one from JVQ is totally rubbish. it's sooooo lag that i've to wait for 2 seconds after each scroll

so, after studying some great posts here, i've modded a deodexed JVQ browser with all the lag things disappeared. now it just perform like what used to be, u can scroll from the top to the bottom of the page in xda with 1 single scroll. HOWEVER, i cannot say it's 100% bugs-free

so, USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISKS!! and remember to do BACKUP!

installation (for deodexed rom):

simply remove the existing Browser.apk from /system/app, and put this one there

PS you may notice some strange thing when u start this modded browser for the 1st time like a blank page is shown or cant scroll the page. just reload the page or restart the browser will do

NOTICE to all users:

- this is a one-off mod and it is not supposed to have any further modifications/adjustments

NOTICE to modders/developers:

- if u want to keep this alive or help to maintain this mod, etc, feel free to ask for the trick here

EDIT: forgot to say thank you to those who discussed about this matter here, those who contributed, and the one who deodexed the browser.apk with user agent settings by Eric

EDIT2: oh.. one more thing..... only english is included in the file named "Browser-JVQ-mod.apk, others will be available soon

EDIT3: file named "Browser-JVQ-mod-from-stock-version-all-lang-no-user-agent-setting.apk" does not include user agent settings but included all lang as in the stock version

Can you explain the effects which were removed?

Zoom out to tab feature working?

Scrolling smoothness still intact.

How is the rendering compared to odexed Browser.apk?

Also, will this apk file work for JVP?

Edit: Unsurprisingly, it doesn't work with JVP.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Peaster111:
Yeah... I just discovered that too. It does work with a small workaround. After you open the browser, close it and reopen it. It seems to always work for me the second time its opened. Very strange.

If I am not mistaken, you shouldn't try to install it. Just copy the apk (possibly by renaming it to Internet.apk ) to /system/app and then restart your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mialwe:
Hm, first I thought it doesn't work for me, too. The mistake I made was not to remove (as stated in first post) the original APK, I copied it to /system/app/Browser.orig.apk - big mistake as OS seemed to start the original APK instead of the new one. Moved the backup to sdcard, rebooted - everything fine now.

ykk_five: may I "ask for the trick here" :) ? Thank you VERY much for this mod, going to remove Opera Mini now... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rebel2k:
I manage to make it work with the previous version doing this (with ADB on a computer - put the download Browser.apk in a folder on your sdcard, let's assume /sdcard/temp):

1. adb shell

2. su (must be rooted to do so, of course)

4. rm /system/app/Browser.apk

5. cd /sdcard/temp

6. mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

7. install Browser.apk /system/app

8. mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

9. exit

Hope it will work! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mialwe:
Are you sure about mtdblock3 for all SGS users or does this apply to a specific ROM/FS? My /system is mounted on stl9 :)

The way I did it (Ramas's deodexed JVQ on stock JVQ, GalaxianEEv2 kernel, note that other kernels may require other steps to become root user, this works e.g. with Galaxian or Speedmod, not with CF-Root):

adb root
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
adb shell mv /system/app/Browser.apk /sdcard/Browser.orig.apk
adb push Browser-JVQ-mod.apk /system/app/Browser.apk

Then rebooted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Geezer000:
Why not just rename the stock browser (Browser.ap-) that should prevent it from loading.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ykkfive:
did u mean to zoom in or out with 2 fingers on the page? it's ok for me

but as i mentioned, sometimes when u launch it for the 1st time, it wont scroll or just shows u a blank page. it should be fine then after u reload the page

another example is, select a bookmark after u opened up the browser, let it loads and then select another bookmark, u'll see a blank page or it just refuses to scroll. but this happens for the 1st time u launch the browser only so far

more, i would like to mention again that, this is NOT a finished product and errors are expected
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mantrajt:
No, I mean that the sgs2 browser has a feature that when you are fully zoom out of the page and pinch a little further, the windows manager appears, for you to navigate through windows or create new ones.

Look at this video from minute 3:40.

oh... i didnt know there's a new feature....

anyway, after watching the video, i "accidentally" went to the windows mgr. it's nice, isnt it? (provided that the browser is smooth enough.....)

however, when i tried to play it again, my phone hung and rebooted. maybe due to OC, i dono

anyway, i've tried to refine the codes but it didnt work, and i don have enough time to carry on at the moment

still facing those annoying load empty page, url bar disappeared, no scroll possible issue with this fix.

Once a page is loaded 100% it works like a charm, but if I touch the display before (portrait mode, automatic size and medium zoom as settings) a big page is loaded 100% then I receive an empty page, cannot scroll or the bar where I put the URL disappeares.

I can only recover it by turning the screen to landscape and back.
