[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] IT Wannabe:
I've been using Maxthon exclusively since I heard about it on some other website. I never used any of the older incarnations, so I can't speak to the quality of them, but the current version is really quite nice. I like it even better than Dolphin and Opera.

Adding the Gesture plugin is also a huge help. You can define gestures for common browsing tasks, and also assign "bookmarks" to gestures. There are a couple of other plugins that I don't use.

I have found that Flash works as well in Maxthon as it does in any other browser, and I feel as though the sites that I visit that utilize Flash tend to be less buggy in Maxthon than they do in other browsers.

I'd imagine that this is really just another case of "Which browser functions best for the specific things that you do on the web?", though. I'd imagine that there are settings, idiosyncrasies, and bugs that may cause people to prefer other browsers over Maxthon, just as some people prefer Opera, Dolphin, Stock, and Firefox. If you find nagging issues with other browsers, though, I definitely recommend giving Maxthon a shot. It solved the troubles that I had that caused me to go from one browser to the next depending on which site I was visiting.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] reaperzero:
well i admit it is able to load sites considerably faster then opera *for me anyway*. i just cleared the cache data on the app and its working fine so far :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] davebugyi:
Only problem I found, that it can't download from FS, HS, RS etc. sites correctly - Only Opera works for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] r_nt:
I can download pdfs with it, which crashes the stock browser when I attempt it, so that alone has made it worth keeping, nevermind the rest.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ickk:
I've been using maxathon mobile for about 6 weeks, switched from dolphin to this. I must say it crashes much less than dolphin, and I like the interface better. Browsers have always been lacking on tablets imo, but this one is the best I've used so far.

My problems -

-havent figured out how to get favorites to work.

-lets mobile web slip on occassion, even in desktop mode - not often however.

-when downloading music it will not give me a "save target as" link, and asks if I want to open my music player instead.

other than that its a nice little browser.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] gunswick:
I tried this and thought it was really slow! (sometime last week).

Skyfire is much faster and smoother scrolling - better than stock browser but not as smooth as Opera.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] sert00:
personally i use and love the stock...tried all browsers,but i return to stock,wonderfull ui,good flash and good speed.only scrolling isn't how opera\dolphin but in live with it!:o
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] sbdags:
I'm with you mate. Thought Maxthon was pretty awful. I keep going back to stock although every now and then I do take Dolphin HD for a spin :D

I was really disappointed with firefox beta 9.0.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillyBob3:
Is there a way of enabling the zoom buttons (+/-) on the stock browser in GB as it was on ec05? Noticed them gone in ef02 and eh17. Havent made the move yet to ei22, but I understand it's gone from there as well.

Searched and found a post from earlier in the year but no replies. I hope this thread doesn't meet the same fate...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillyBob3:
Not to be a jerk and bump my own thread, but over 100 views and no replies? This is not a good sign. I know a lot of people use Dolphin or Opera, but I am a fan of the stock browser and would love to be able to quickly resize the font. Yes, I can do a pinch zoom, but the frames dont always resize to the display width properly that way.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Okaham:
my samsung galaxy s is not recognized by my computer no matter what i do!

don't know why, i've done some research, no results.

i've installed Kies, which i assume already installs the drivers, but when i connect, the computer shows no sign of connection (it says that i need to update drivers in device manager??) i tried different USB ports, toggled USB debugging on/off, NOTHING WORKS :confused:

the reason i want my computer to recognize the galaxy is because i want to update it to android 2.3.5 via odin. but when i enter download mode, the computer doesn't recognize it. when i'm in the system, the computer STILL doesn't recognize it...???

please somebody help, it's rooted, running a different MIUI version (not the ones in xda dev section), i'm not sure where i got it from, but it's called an ENG_MIUI?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
CM7 (and subsequently MIUI) is built from the Nexus S source code, so find the proprer drivers for it. "CM7 drivers" should be a sufficient google search. Also, Kies sometimes interferes while using the other drivers. If you run into any problems, uninstall Kies.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Herman76:
To get your phone recognized you need nexus s drivers. But that won't help you get it recognized by kies.

You need stock firmware on your phone to get it updated through kies.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndemin:
I have same problem previously. But it solved after I do this: while Kies open, select Tools then press Install driver.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Okaham:
thanks guys, but how would i go about doing that? the directions i found don't make any sense? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
Just to clarify, this won't help you. Samsung uses Samsung drivers. Since you do not currently have Samsung firmware on your phone, this won't do you any good. As previously stated by two very informative posters, you will need the Nexus S drivers to recognize your phone.

And, also as previously stated by just an absolutely wonderfully helpful poster, if you do a simple google search you'll find exactly what you need. Try either Nexus S Driver, CM7 Driver, Nexus S CM7 Driver, or really anything else similar. You could also check the CM7 Wiki, as I'm sure there would be a link for them there. And finally, if you simply search XDA Developers, I'm sure you'd find plenty of posts with what you need.

Hopefully that helps. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Okaham:
thanks

---------- Post added at 07:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 AM ----------

Well, CM7 drivers won't help ;) SGS to get recognized on PC on DLD mode, you need another set of drivers and not those Nexus S's. I had the above ones installed on my PC (Google's your Best friend :D) .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00338:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zero00zero:
I had a lot of similar issues with my I9000, too.

Tried everything on ROM and driver side also on different computers.

Finally it turned out that my Micro USB connector was corroded.

I have around 30 people in our company that have the same phone, and 5 of them had similar issues. I guess it's a common problem with this device.

I took a toothpick and cleaned the contact of the connector by sliding it up and down for a couple of million times. This also did the trick for my colleagues.

I think it's at least worth to try it.

Good luck

[Samsung Infuse 4G] THE festivedonkey:
Hi,

I have searched for the answer but can not seem to find anyone that has asked this previously, so here goes.

Is there a way to back up my user dictionary before I flash a new rom so that I don't have to start with a blank dictionary every time I flash?

I flash new roms frequently and this would be very very very helpful for me!!! :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Spider9909:
Download "my backup root" from market. You can backup everyhing with that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayson94538:
Wrong section. You should know, considering that you flash a lot of roms.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] THE festivedonkey:
Thanks, I'm backing up as I type. I have tried Titanium for backup, but I know that it causes FC problems when you restore. Does backing up with this app have the same problems?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Spider9909:
I have used this for a while now. I have had no problems as of yet. Maybe just lucky.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] THE festivedonkey:
Sorry, I just figured that this would be the best place to ask the question considering the fact that the people who view this thread have probably had the same problem at some point since it is extremely annoying to start the dictionary over every time. I apologize for a wrongly placed post. I am pretty new, and will know better next time.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayson94538:
Yeah it happens a lot here and people will start bashing on you lol.

Anyways, I always use titanium backup. Any app will give you a force close if you restore incorrectly. For example, if switching over to a different rom like from froyo to gingerbread, it's usually best to start fresh by restoring the app without data. But if you're just updating, you don't need to do anything.

I experienced a lot of force closes when i went from infused 2.2.3 to MIUI. So I had to start fresh.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] CheesyNutz:
never had any troubles with titanium backup
[Samsung Infuse 4G] THE festivedonkey:
Yea I guess it isn't really a "development" question, but I figured the people in here would be able to help me best. I mean it could have been worse... at least I didn't ask something like "how do you adjust the brightness, the screen really hurts my eyes!" or something like that haha

I am just wanting to switch from MIUI to CM7 right now, so hopefully there wont be any FC problems on this one

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogami_ito:
Hi all,

I read the long, and very helpful post about "CIQ from Hell" on the XDA portal page. I'm interested in this in-part because I live in China and I really don't want the government looking at my cellphone (I would feel the same way if I lived in USA BTW, and no I am not an assassin, revolutionary, terrorist, or drug dealer...just a wannabee pimp)

Anyway, I could not find anywhere about how to remove CIQ from my SGS2 and I have not noticed any custom ROMs with it removed.

I'm hoping that...

A) someone can post a link to the method to remove this, and

B) modders start taking this crap out of their ROMs

Thanks

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcoke:
I was using my tab and the screen started to get all fuzzy, it is still usable but annoying none the less. One time while installing a rom (Team Overcome's) I accidentally installed 7500 on a 7510 device, so I thought that was to blame. I have since then done a complete wipe and reset about 4 or 5 times with compatible 7510 roms. I noticed if I leave my device alone or turned off for a few hours it seems to temporarily fix the issue. After about 20-30 minutes of use it starts to slowly get fuzzy and distorted. I was wondering if there was a fix I could apply on my end without having to turn it into Samsung and wait.

[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
will this also have an effect on miui? not that the lag is bad or anything, but less is more in this case
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
As I stated above, I'm not an expert developer, so take this with a grain of salt... If you're experiencing rotation / orientation-change lag with MIUI on GB, first try using the"Horizontal Calibration" option in [Settings] > [Display]. You may have to apply it with your phone face-down, just hanging over the edge of the table/desk/counter so you can click the button to calibrate. If that doesn't work or is unavailable, try the"sensorcalibutil_yamaha" fix (you must be rooted for this):

Open a terminal emulator

Type "su" [Enter], then "/system/sensorcalibutil_yamaha" [Enter]

Follow the instructions to calibrate

If that doesn't work--and if you're using a GB ROM, I don't think it will--then the fix I posted above is your only other option. Should you decide to try it, I

highly

recommend you build your own "framework.jar" by pulling it from your ROM of choice and following the instructions provided by chris41g and me. If it works, let me know and I'll add it to the OP and change the title to reflect what ROMs we have framework.jars and/or flashable zips for. Good luck!

* FYI, I have no experience beyond CM7 with GB ROMs, & I've only used SRF ROMs & related kernels with Froyo.

AmericanJedi001
[Epic 4G Android Development] noobnl:
This can be fixed in the cyanogenmod framework source code
[Epic 4G Android Development] counterfeit187:
Good first attempt. There's a problem with your patch though. It messes up the homescreen menu and shutdown popup. if you are on homescreen and press menu, there is usually a tab that says "More" and has the unlock/lock desktop option, the patch changes this to "text from clipboard" also when you hold the power button and select shut down, the popup says reboot instead of power off. I think the problem is just a matter of line spacing being off in the Framework.jar or something, but this is an uneducated guess. Either way just wanted you to be aware. I think a better option would be to have it edit that one line of text in the framework.jar rather than replacing the .jar file completely. Good luck, happy coding.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
sensorcalibutil_yamaha was pulled from gb...
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Editing a single line in a jar file isn't currently possible via CWM flash - this is the same reason themes and mods must often be combined, because they are modifications to the same file, and we can only replace files, not merge them
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
Styles420 is correct, that's why the fix (framework.jar or flashable.zip) replaces the "stock" CM7 framework.jar file. I assure you the

only

thing I changed was the digit after "0x", as in "0x1", then I recompiled/rebuilt everything. As far as I know, that shouldn't have far-reaching side-effects such as you're describing, but I'll look into it. Did you flash the file (any of the three) on the latest CM7 (10/22) , or another version of CM7, or another ROM entirely (if so, which)?

AmericanJedi001
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
Sweet! BTW, where would I find the source for framework.jar? I know where the repo is, but I got lost searching thru all the different sections. Any specific directions?

Just as I suspected. I wonder if the fix chris41g found will be all we need for GB rotation / orientation-change lag? I hope so!

I Installed on my phone and it got stuck at the samsung screen during boot up. Re flashed ROM and it was all better
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperwitagun:
couldn't get this to boot when on CM7. Froze at Sammy screen for me. tried this on MIUI Beta 3 just for giggles but no sucess there either. Too bad. Rotation lag is my mortal enemy. Lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
After you reflashed the ROM (CM7?) did you try the fix again, or did you just not have rotation lag after the reflash?

Were you on CM7 10/22 or an earlier release? I'm not surprised it didn't work for MIUI: the files I posted are the framework.jar and a flashable framework.jar from CM7, with only one digit difference from my stock framework.jar with CM7.

In other words, I will really be surprised if the files in the OP work for any ROMs besides CM7, and they may not work for anything besides CM7 10/22.

If you guys are using CM7 10/22, then you may want to follow the directions and pull your own framework.jar (rather than using the one I posted) and do the edit on your own file, then copy it back over. Let me know if you need any clarification on any of the steps.

I'm hoping that future builds of EpicCM will have this fix coded directly into the framework.jar--noobnl posted that it would be possible, so I'm hoping that it is on the to-do list.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
were the ppl with the issues were running a modified framework.jar to facilitate an ext4 kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
If you used the CWM flashable zip, try just replacing your framework.jar with the one I provided. Be sure to save your original (either rename or move to another location), copy the provided framework.jar over, then reboot. If *that* doesn't fix it, then you may need to manually do the hacking yourself, though I hope not--that's why I created this thread with the available files, to save people time!

This is a good point--if you're already running a framework.jar that's modified from the original provided with your ROM of choice (to use an EXT4 kernel, for example*), then you'll need to hack that framework.jar file. The framework.jar that's available here will probably only work with the RFS version of CM7, not any modified versions, nor other ROMs. Of course you folks are welcome to try it, but YMMS (Your Mileage May Suck)!

* I'm not sure that an EXT4 kernel will require a modified framework.jar, but you get the point.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperwitagun:
I was on cm7 10/22. It still didn't work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
Would you feel comfortable editing your own framework.jar file? If you're familiar with Smali/Baksmali, you should be able to follow the directions and hack up your own framework.jar to fix the rotation lag. If not, send it to me and I'll mess with it the next chance I get (no guarantees, it might be after Thanksgiving before you get it back!).

I feel ya, it's one of my pet peeves as well, thus the fix!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
That sucks. I guess the framework.jar is created or recreated dynamically based on something, therefore causing different people's files to need custom edits, but I don't know what that would be.
[Epic 4G Android Development] endurance1:
nice job on this. now someone just has to make a keyboard lag fix and ill start using cm7
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
I take it this fix worked for you? Did you use the flashable .zip or just manually copy the framework.jar over? I ask because some people are reporting that not only does it

not

fix the rotation lag, but it causes boot issues as well. Thanks in advance for your reply!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
Reapplied the fix to the framework.jar from darkjje's cm 7.1.0 KANG 1124 New WPA.zip, which itself is a slightly modified version of the CM7 11/24 kang that replaces certain WiFi files to increase stability.

Please try the new framework.jar and/or flashable .zip in the OP and let me know how it goes!
[Epic 4G Android Development] LASuxs:
Finally allowed to reply. Tried it a few weeks back just flashing the fix and yes it got stuck at the pre boot screen. i figured out how to mess with my framework.jar myself and did the change you said. and now the lag is not as bad

only question, i put it to '1' which you said is turbo, but it doesnt seem as fast as it used to be. is 1 the lowest?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
I'm sorry to hear the flashable .zip didn't work for you. As to your question about changing the value, to be honest I don't know! I'm not a very good coder, and I don't know for sure what we're even changing, much less what values are allowable and optimal.

I recommend you do some experimenting, that's what Android & XDA are all about!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
Updated the fix to use framework.jar from EpicMTD CM7 12/14, and adjusted the edited value from stock "0x3" to a very fast "0x0". Rotation lag is virtually gone now!

I also removed the flashable .zip file, that seemed to be helping no one and just causing lockups. I'll look into creating a proper flashable .zip later, rather than cribbing someone elses and just changing files!

As usual, per the OP, if you have issues please, please give me as detailed a description of what happened so I can try to wrap my head around the problem and fix it.
