Beta BB1012 installed succesfully

Hello Quinny899,

Just a big thanks to you and everyone involved.

Have just updated android on an Acer Aspire One D255 (N450) following your instructions and it looks/works brilliant. Very easy to install. Predict hours of learning how to work the android system and a lot more hours with the apps as I am new to this.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SanjayG:
Thanks for sharing this great work. Work great on my Aspireone netbook happy 2 series

increase internal storage

Right have played around and come across application storage filling up. Is there a way of increasing this? Currently have 207MB used internal storage and 45MB free after unistalling some apps.

There is an option to move the apps to a removable device but that comes up with failed to move.

Can anything be done or are we stuck on this amount of internal storage?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
You're stuck, sorry

Fantastic!

Works like a charm on my AA1 Happy2!

Thanks a lot Quinny!

That being said, the boot time is little bit slower than the original Android on my machine and as I boot to Android mainly for fast access to internet, I may return to the original one.

Then, what a shame this poor original market with 10 apps (don't remember the name right now)... It makes the Android OS quite unusable for other tasks...

Again, thanks and well done!

WiFi not working all the time

Thanks for all your wonderful efforts in making the Android part of my Aspire One D255E working!

However, I am having issues with the Wi-Fi - it is switched on, but does not show any networks in the area. I can get them on my other Android devices, but not on GingerAndroid. I have the afore mentioned Acer Aspire D255E. Is there anything that can be used to pickup and connect to Wi-Fi networks aside from the stock manager?

Thanks for your help.

I'm using Dolphin because it let's me easily choose for a Desktop Useragent. I tried about:debug and about:config on the Galaxy Note stock browser but I couldn't find any option to change the UA-settings. Skyfire is cool for when you don't have flash if you ask me and feels more like a mobile browser. Excuse me if things have changed a lot the past few months because I haven't really tried it recently.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] vessk0:
Dolphin and Opera are the best browsers! I prefer Dolphin - no bugs, best performance, easy interface and closest to PC desktop browser. :)

Tested downloading speed (10 graphic heavy sites) and

Browsers like dolphin are more feature rich but just slower.

Opera becauste of the text reflow after zooming. I couldn't find that in any other browser.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Souai:
for the note, the command is 'about:useragent', lol.

and the easiest way to set it is to save it as a bookmark, and save the bookmark to your homescreen. then when you want to quickly use it, just tap the bookmark, tap the address bar and it will show 'about:useragent', then hit go, choose your agent.

its not quite as easy as the dolphin set once and forever, but the stock browser is GPU accelerated and is much faster and so much smoother than dolphin HD.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] rockky:
For some reason in boat browser and others it only reflows using the on-screen zoom icon.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] maxh:
As of a few days ago I've become a huge opera fan. Because of this thread I've tried all of the other major ones and I gotta say opera beats the pants off of them for one huge reason. Try typing a new post on this site with your mobile browser. At least a few sentences. Opera wraps the text in the text entry box while the others don't. When you see errors in your post and you go back over it, tapping on words to fix, opera is the only one that's not buggy. With opera you type the new word and you're done. With the others, half the time the new word pops up a sentence or two away (!!). Also with the others, it takes twice as many clicks to reposition the cursor and start writing, and if you're trying to insert the cursor right at a line break you're screwed.

Opera seriously blows the others out of the water as far as usability. Especially if you do any text entry. I wrote this with boat browser, and my previous long post on this forum using dolphin, and I gotta say, you couldn't pay me not to use opera from now on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] rockky:
Yes this posting/box typing thing can be a pain. ...but its usually after typing quite a bit. Briefly changing to landscape and typing corrects it...but it IS a pain. Didn't know Opera corrected it...but it wouldn't change me over because I depend on fairly fast mobile data trainsmission for what I do and Opera lags a bit in that dept. It is a great browser tho...it would be my second choice for sure.

Dolphin Browser HD because I like the gestures and easy access tabs.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] daoutlawz:
I liked Dolphin until I noticed that the more tabs left open the more CPU usage it was using, even when not in use. Tried both HD and mini.

Stuck to Opera now, quick and smooth and doesn't use up CPU usage when closed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] rsawoseyin:
Dolphin HD is it!

Dolphin HD is my favourite because not only is it fast and with a simple user interface, it is the only one that actually has an 'Exit' in the menu -allowing me to completely quit the application. Others remain in memory unless you kill them from the task manager.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] easycure1974:
Opera has that to, you just have to enable it in settings first
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ym901s:

Has anyone else noticed if you have the browser open in background memory, when u wake the next morning the browser is closed hence closing all tabs??

I've left tabs open on purpose to view the next morning only to find the app seems to have closed and tabs all gone. So frustrating. Even noticed with the default music app, listening to a 2hr podcast on the train in the morning, i pause it, leave it open in memory, come back for the trip home and the apps closed and doesn't remember where i left the song at and neither do i!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] maxh:
Yes! I've noticed this with the stock browser and with Opera. It's quite frustrating. It seems the phone's running out of RAM, so it closes apps, and it always closes the browser if it's been active for any significant length of time. I wish there were some way to prioritize the memory management and exclude the browser from being closed. I like to keep my favorite several tabs open.

I'm LOVING Boat mini. The features are sweet and it's very very fast. It's now my regular go-to.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] zsolti256:
I use Firefox, and dolphin, because the both can strech the website, making it truly fit the screen, Unlike opera which makes text too small to read at 100% zoom and gives 2 white bars on the sides.

And firefox can reflow text too, plus has important plugins I use : full screen, user agent, Adblock plus.

Fire fox is slow but still i can download anything with it. And its the closest to desktop experince.

I just moved to maxthon and its pretty fast too.

Stock- smooth and fast, just a lil checkerboards and only when it loads

Dolphin - a lot of gestures, but a lil slower than the rest

Opera- good and fast but the pages look kind of dumb,maybe its cos, they send it from their own server.. but according to me it doesnt look so good on the note

Boat, miren- very fast but the desktop version option doesn't work sometimes..

Xscope- a lil lag when loading the pages, but smooth after it loads

Maxthon-fast, smooth and has some gestures too.. and my current browser

But these are just my opinions.. I tried all these browsers

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ciphray:
The newest nightly of fennec (firefox) seems to have added gpu acceleration similar to the stock browser, the ram usage seems to have taken a sharp drop and they rearranged the layout a bit, since you can add in via plugins an option to change the user agent and adblocking even without root access it's turning out to be a nice alternative
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] NIKKG:

opera for reading/posting to forums and when I want a desktop site. Reflow, text input & the exit button are its main plus points.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] yslee:
On the Note, I really don't like the way Samsung has added the Card-like interface from WebOS for switching tabs. It's definitely a little laggy.

If you're on 240 DPI like me, it's even worse, as the interface for stock doesn't scale.

Dolphin HD is also a little laggy in its UI. Going through preferences and bookmarks there's this little lag.

Opera surprisingly is the fastest. I prefer the way it handles text reflow as well, compared to stock (and by extension, Dolphin HD). On long pages, when you zoom in and reflow on stock, you will end up at a different spot, since reflowing changes the length of the page. Opera makes sure you are at the spot where you were last looking at. I also like the UI overall.

I don't like Opera's address bar and search box though. I much prefer Android's stock combo address/search bar, where it goes through common search terms *and* common URLs.

So right now it's a bit of a toss-up for me, but I'm leaning towards Opera a bit.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ph00ny:
i actually used opera on my note for a few days and hated it. It struggles to scroll up and down while browsing verge. Much more sluggish than the stock one which was completely unexpected
