Since I got no reply from jiyucn I decided to check this out for myself. I installed Simple Packet Capture, opened Boat Browser, went to Google.com and searched for 'nfl schedule'.

The only connections from the browser were to 74.125.113.147 which is Google.

DnaPolymerase how did you arrive at the conclusion that this browser sends packets to China? I have my log file, do you have yours and are you sure it wasn't another app you were running that was sending packets?

Add support for Logitech revue (google tv) flash.

This is a request to add support for flash on the logitech revue (google tv).

The app itself runs very well on the revue which has honeycomb 3.1 on it but flash does not work because flash 10.2 is actually built right into the google tv OS vs it's normal apk install.

[Android Apps and Games] Salty Wagyu:
I think I told Boat Browser in the past to "Never Remember" the password for one site I went to, as it doesn't seem to ask me if I want to save the password when I log in.

Is there a way to undo my choice? I've not been able to find it in the settings anywhere.
[Android Apps and Games] noodles2224:
One way I could think of is deleting data from settings/applications and start all over. I think it will delete bookmarks too.. :)
[Android Apps and Games] jiyucn:
Sorry for not update this post for a long time. Now Boat browser is up to version 3.1. We keep working on various add-ons.

For this post, we will continue to update. Please share you suggestion with us. Thanks you very much. :)
[Android Apps and Games] jiyucn:
If you're using Boat Browser V3.1 (the latest version). You could go to "setting->clear data->clear password".

This option could clear all saving password and reset the "never remember" setting. Take a try. But it have potential risk. It will clear stored password for other website. Just think carefully before you doing this.

Any question, please let me know. :)

Hi,

Just a suggestion regarding the auto hide tab bar. I love it a lot, but I think the dolphin browser implementation is better and should be matched.

In Dolphin, the tab bar appears when you scroll down, but only if you scroll down in the half upper part of the screen. When you scroll down in the lower part, which is the usual way, the tab bar remains hidden which is better as it doesn't pop up when casually browsing a page.

Can you implement this?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] SinDx:

[Android Apps and Games] raggedstone:
Boat is my browser of choice, because I like the clean interface, but there is one thing that really bugs me, and it's the way mouseover/touch events are handled. This is not up to scratch in any browser in Android as far as I know, and is a major problem for the more casual user (my other half).

In iOS, Safari checks for a mouseover event on touch, and stops after the mouseover event. In android, a touch = a click.

If you try to use a website like John Lewis, or M&S, you will see that mouseover is used a lot to show menus, and clicking (=touching in Android browsers) the mouseover elements jumps you straight to a section you might not want. I'm aware of the workaround that involves touching the element and the sliding off it, but this is a horrible kludge of a workaround. Is there a browser that does this like Safari (above), which IMO is simply a lot better? Seems relatively straightforward (but I'm not a developer, so I wouldn't know).

This is cross posted from general Q&A because of a lack of general response there.
[Android Apps and Games] Chatperdu:

Re: [APP] Boat Browser - Many cool features

Yes, if I type google.com on the URL bar, I get directed to google.call. However if I type a search query, it is auto expanded to use google.co.UK with source=boat browser variable set. Here's the complete URL :

https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en-US&ie=UTF-8&source=boatbrowser&q=***

So far the dev is not indicating his willingness to make this user definable.

Thanks for such a great browser, it has now become my daily browser, love the flash ability. I am using it on a Asus Transformers Infinity TF700 with a custom 4.1.2 jelly bean rom. When trying to copy something on a page a small window will appear showing a magnified version of what I am coyping. It will occasionally freeze what I am doing and the only way I can exit out of it is to go to settings>apps and force close the browser. Has anyone else experienced this?

Edit: Also, sometimes it will max out my cpu freq. and will not completly load a web page ie: StumbleUpon.com.

Hi there!

I am using Boat Browser on my Nexus 7 JB 4.1.2 and when i play HTML5 videos in full screen the video controls start flashing.

[Android Apps and Games] Gaugerer:
Occaisionally, using the video 'full screen' control causes the Boat browser to crash and the same thing always happens on the Ocean browser, so it might be a problem with Adobe no longer supporting Flash on Android. At least on the Boat browser, unlike Chrome, Dolphin, Opera etc. you can still use Flash.

One way around the problem is to use tripple and double tap to enlarge the video display so that it fills the screen which avoides the browser crash.

Show tab bar in fullscreen mode option disappeared after version 4.8

Hello guys,

thank you for your great app!

Is there any chance to re-implement the option to show the tab bar (only tab bar) while in fullscreen mode? The last version of Boat Browser that had this ability was 4.8, but then it disappeared. It was a really cool feature for old phones with "small" screen.

I have never found any other Android web browser that has or had this feature.. (if you know some, please share the knowledge)

Thank you for your consideration.

This browser used to work fine.

Now, with the last update, when scrolling up a little the url search box doesn't show up again. So you have to go all the way up to see tabs.

And what about those unwanted links in speed dial page??

You have to have the Pro version to delete the links. Is that what you wanted to know?

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Dave!:
Hi all.

I recently got an "unlocked" Motorola Milestone and was planning on using it to test Android apps and functions that I am developing. I don't have a SIM card for the thing as I'm still under contract with Verizon.

The issue is that on load, the phone boots to a "No SIM card." "Emergency Calls Only" "Please insert a SIM card." screen. The only clickable item on this is an "+ Emergency Call" button. When I click that, though, I can briefly see the "Activate Android" screen that's being hidden by the "Emergency Call" screen. I would /think/ that it would be possible to get to this screen somehow, then use say the 4-corners method to access the device for wifi and app testing.

I have tried "rooting" the device, and have been able to get into the bootloader via holding "camera" and "both volumes" down. From here, I tried to sbf_flash (linux) with the vulnerable recovery .sbf file. It says "success" but without being able to enable the "USB Debugging" setting through the menu I cannot get further than this (recovery.zip always fails signature test, so "success" must not really mean "success"). I've also tried in windows using RSDLite; still no luck. :(

I've tried nearly everything I can think of. Once I was able to get the thing to boot and not show the "Emergency Call" screen (only "activate android" showed up) by holding the camera button as it loaded (this is 90.78 so it is not the recovery reboot combo) but it would not accept input (neither the 4 corners nor clicking on the "android" himself worked).

Is there any solution or any other progress/information that could be useful to me as I try to use this device for testing/wifi? :confused: Thanks.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] takkaros:
I removed my SIM just to check how i would make it start but it didn't show anything to me. It started normally. Perhaps you could bypass that "activate android" screen by pressing the home button. This link could be useful as well. It says how to do the same thing on a G1. If you find out that it needs a SIM card for the first start to activate it, can't you buy one of those cheap pay as you go cards to get it working?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knucklesmckay:
So what is going on? Any speculation? Development has been stale lately for the Inc2. We do have a great selection of very functional roms, and I appreciate that but not much new in a while.

honestly relative to the size of the small root community there are tons of options for the end user

aosp alone has miui, cm7, tsm poolparty, liquid, omgb, omfgb...with all still in active development

sense has dozens of roms, from sense 2.1, 3.0, and 3.5 to choose from

i mean what else do you want? 500 new roms a day?

and really to put out new roms it takes awhile...ive personally been screwing around with 2 or 3 side projects in addition to the roms i have out for this phone and the samsung fascinate

people do this for free, and given how many choices are out there, there is plenty to keep you occupied flashing for a long time
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knucklesmckay:
Yes you are right. There are a good amount of options. I am also grateful of how well most of the Roms work for the Inc2. I was just kind curious to see if we were kind of low on the list for future development, but I wasn't taking everything into consideration. I guess I just have too much free time on my hand and I need to be more patient.

I also enjoy your and TSMs work, you guys produce some great roms!
