works on Nexus S 4G 4.0.3 just a little laggy but everything works and desktop mode comes in handy when im away from my desktop. thank u
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
hm, didn't see it when I was on JB and thought Google had said Chrome now was the default browser. If it's still there we'll probably need a new "JB Browser +" mod.

if the dev would at least publish the source so someone can mod the JB browser...
[Android Apps and Games] rmcsc:
Chrome is the default browser on the Nexus 7. Call it a soak test to see if the OS, the browser, and people work right by having it as the main and only browser.
[Android Apps and Games] MeX_DK:
Eww, I dont like chrome :(. But I am pretty sure someone will release an ICS Browser to JB etc I hope.
[Android Apps and Games] Draak22:
Yeah, I've switched to Quick ICS Browser by now. Pretty much the same functions.
[Android Apps and Games] MeX_DK:
I suspect it's your phone. Because this app works perfectly on mine without crashing. Settings and everything works like a charm.
[Android Apps and Games] djmcnz:
Well, neither of them work on JB.

But the JB default browser (not Chrome) is an improvement over ICS anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] kaja69:
Great ICS Browser enhancement - but is the dev dead or something?
[Android Apps and Games] Kira.Lawliet:
Would be nice if it also has the chrome feature where when you click on a link it will zoom on it & display nearby links so you'll not be misclicking for another link near it. I hope the dev will come back soon.
[Android Apps and Games] jhericurls:
That wouldn't be funny, if he was.
[Android Apps and Games] atilla88:
I wrote the dev a few days back a mail,

Heres the answer :

[Android Apps and Games] masterslacker:
He said the same thing to me two months ago when I wrote him. I gave up waiting for simple graphical bugs to be fixed, and uninstalled the app from my phone and tablet. Its sad that such a cool project has been abandoned like this with so many bugs in it.
[Android Apps and Games] djmcnz:
And some of us paid for it... :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] Bozmo:
Great app! I love the ease of your quick control!

I have a problem, on my Galaxy S2, the app keeps shutting down when I try to access the settings. This bug was not there before, now, even from a new install I have to get into the window choosing screen to access settings otherwise it would crash.

This becomes a hassle when I hit the menu key by accident and have to restart and search what I was doing before.

Hope this gets fixed. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Takyon:
This app had so much potential, I was going to buy.

Seems like it's dead now, anyone suggest something different?

I hate chrome, when I finish browsing I want it to exit and them when I stay our again to be on my chosen homepage, not reload everything that was there when I finished.

Oh and an exit button would be useful.

[Android Apps and Games] djmcnz:
I totally agree with you Chrome observations. And no custom search or homepage WTF?

Yes, this project is abandoned.

Stock Jelly Bean browser is pretty decent.
[Android Apps and Games] jlv3:
Quick ICS Browser seems to be very similar (ICS with additional quick controls), but it's last update was also March.
[Android Apps and Games] Genetic517:
i really do love this feature. i wish chrome wasnt so terrible.
[Android Apps and Games] oddspec:
Nevermind
[Android Apps and Games] jjhiza:
Unfortunate that this app seems dead in the water...Quick ICS Browser just got an update for JB, and it works great, so I'm switching to that until this app is supported again.
[Android Apps and Games] r3k0:
Used this app from the beginning till 5 days ago when i started using JB roms, such a shame thers no no JB support :( lets hope the Dev gets his act together ;)

Will try Quick ics browser for now.
[Android Apps and Games] djmcnz:
Nope. It was a hit and run.

This thread should be closed.
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Working right now on a jelly bean update.

As for the bugs that are reported I'll look into it. One of the reasons the project has been paused for a while is that it is already a descent working mod of the ics browser. Of course a lot could be added and maybe I'll do that.
[Android Apps and Games] rjax:
I think much of the frustration comes from the fact that a lot of us who paid for the donate version thought we were donating in order to eventually get more than decent working mod of the ICS browser. From Play Store stats, that's 1000+ of us... which I guess isn't a whole lot people in the grand scheme of things, but does represent a certain demographic that really looks forward to a continually-improving product.

That said, it's still my browser of my choice, and I'm looking forward to seeing the JB improvements!
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
A major problem with these kind of ports is that it is closely tied with the internal classes of the Android framework. Android doesn't have to make a commitment considering these classes. It is not part of the SDK and could in principle be changed whenever the Android team needs to. Also OEMs are free to change these classes as long as the public APIs wouldn't be harmed. When I heard about the upcoming Jelly Bean update and the Chrome integration several months ago I paused the project because all work could be for nothing. Now I have the source I will get this going again because it still is feasible.
[Android Apps and Games] tracerit:
I love the stock ics browser and just discovered this one. Works wonders and the additional features are great. Can't wait to use it on jelly bean when the time comes as well.
[Android Apps and Games] Scarygore:
Looking forward to the update very much. With UA set to desktop and a full set of quick controls this is the best mobile browser I have found. I would gladly donate again.

Hope to see it on the Nexus 7 soon.

Status report (jelly bean update)

A lot of people have contacted me or posted comments in the play store about the update for Jelly Bean.

Here's a status report:

I'm working on it. Lol.. Kidding, the project is progressing slowly. Main reason is that I have to rebuild browser+ from scratch. This may sound as a surprise because Jelly Bean is just a minor ICS update (except for some new goodies and the butter awesomeness) and apps should run on it without a problem (or just with a minor modification in some cases). Although this is true for almost all apps, this is not the case for Browser+. Here is why. Normally an app is using the public APIs published by Android. Android commits itself to these APIs and with each update all APIs that were working on older versions should be available (in principle) for newer versions. Browser+ however, is built using the Android AOSP code. This code is heavily using APIs that are not published as available for developers. You may call them "internal" APIs, used by the Android team itself and OEM developers. Unfortunately the Android team had changed one of these APIs that was used by the ICS browser for building up the window layout (views). This is a major pain in the ass :p but this was one of the concequences that could happen. So to make a long story short. How simple an update may be, in this case it isn't .

I will commit to it (not in the least place because I'm missing the browser also) but it may take some time. Also because I have some other projects going on.

Last thing.. I do understand the frustration that it is not yet available for JB, what I don't understand are one star ratings in the market with weird comments like "not compatible with JB, fix it" . That's weird and won't make me work any faster. Au contraire. :cyclops: To avoid these weird comments I will publish a new version this weekend that is limited to ICS and not visible for people running Jelly Bean. So if you see an update this weekend it will only contain some bug fixes for ICS and it will have a manifest update that makes the app only available in the Play Store for ICS

(edit: this doesn't mean that people won't see the update for Jelly Bean when it comes available. The moment it is compatible with jelly bean it will be visible in the play store. To get a play store update notification I suggest just to install the ICS browser+ on jelly bean and not to use it)

Thanks for your patience
[Android Apps and Games] schrochem:
Thanks. There are plenty of us on ics who appreciate any updates that may be possible. I'm not sure when cm10 will come to my device but I like this browser and any improvements on ics would be great. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
appelflap, did you ever consider submitting those changes to CM?
[Android Apps and Games] jamieunit:
Finally found a browser that suits me after year or so with dolphin, one little prob is that I have to have stock browser installed other wise + don't work it just force close when logging in, is this common or just me?

Keep up the good work.

Same thing with me. Uninstall stock and + FCs
[Android Apps and Games] gollyzila:
Thanks appelflap for the detailed update.
[Android Apps and Games] cydetrakd:
Please tell me this will be updated for jelly bean since this and this has been my go to browser for quite some time. I used it exclusively for both my Xoom and Galaxy Nexus but sadly I can't live without this browser on my tablet so I am stuck on ICS until JB is updated for compatibility.
[Android Apps and Games] jjhiza:
Not trying to be rude, but all you have to do is go back one Page, and you'll see two very detailed posts from appelflap, regarding the JB update. :D

[Android Apps and Games] MeX_DK:
Crashes on SGS3
[Android Apps and Games] jjhiza:
Are you on a JB ROM, or stock? The Jelly bean crashes are all known issue, and are being addressed. :)

Galaxy Nexus - Slim Bean a4
[Android Apps and Games] MeX_DK:
SGS3 has not gotten JB yet. Im still on the stock 4.0.4 rom.
[Android Apps and Games] jjhiza:
Hmmm... I wonder if it may have something to do with the modifications Samsung has made to the browser on the SGSIII. This is a modification of the stock (ie. AOSP) browser, as far as I know, and I know that freezing the stock browser will cause this to crash. If Samsung made any significant changes to the app, those may be the reason this isn't working for you. :confused:

[Android Apps and Games] socekin:
Nice, thanks.

i will try it and feedback
[Android Apps and Games] danum:
Appleplap, I appreciate the work you have done with browser+. I do hope you can find the time to make the JB compatible version.

I have been using JB for two weeks and damn, I miss the browser+ functionality.
[Android Apps and Games] EdgaBimbam:
Best browser. Using as default just sad that developer abandoned this project
[Android Apps and Games] schrochem:
Not abandoned. Go back a couple pages and read the post by appleflap the developer
[Android Apps and Games] EdgaBimbam:

[Android Apps and Games] Robertus:
Is this still in the works? Any chance of getting text reflow to work on Samsung devices? GS3 is a really popular device and it would be great to have the best browser working on it.
[Android Apps and Games] sonicrhythms:
Can someone tell me how to jump to the top of a web page? In the options, it says to click on the page icon on the navigation menu but I don't see a navigation menu.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Kira.Lawliet:
Is this postponed or something?
[Android Apps and Games] Bagel Bear:
I know this would be a low priority thing but can you make it so the tab bar can be customized? The blue tint on the left side of it doesn't match my tablet's color scheme. Other than that this is a great browser. I would replace Dolphin on my phone if it had ICS.
[Android Apps and Games] jjhiza:
Has the ICS update not come through??! I'm on JB, and have been eagerly awaiting word on an update, but there's been no word. I use Thumb Keyboard, and that HAS been updated recently...I'm just wondering if/when we may get another status update. I'm not a dev, and I do realize that keyboards are much easier to maintain than browsers, but I'm just curious.

[Android Apps and Games] Tatsch:
Maybe it's possible to work in a team with the dev of the similar "Quick ICS Browser". This browser is already working with Jelly Bean.
[Android Apps and Games] Robertus:
Not sure about the navigation bar, but I think it's easier to put the up and down arrows on the quick-control rings. It's also nice to use the volume rocker for page-up and page-down.
[Android Apps and Games] chrolmesq:
Is this still alive?
[Android Apps and Games] HowardZ:
When I use forums and try to post a reply, I can not get the keyboard to pop up. is there setting I need to change?

I am using HTC rezound on ics.
[Android Apps and Games] HowardZ:
oh well, suppose I'll uninstall this browser.

no support here.

it has some nice features, but I can not post replies using it at this forum nor other android forums because the keyboard will not appears.

maybe I will look at it again sometime in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] MeX_DK:
Your problem is not the browser but your keyboard ;). This browser works like a charm for my on both my galaxy S2, Galaxy S3 and my Galaxy Tab 2 without a single hitch, hiccup or anything.
[Android Apps and Games] Bastaerd:
yes, read the thread.
[Android Apps and Games] catman51:
No updates since March?
[Android Apps and Games] mike2nl:
No more support since march but on XDA TV, OK JB will come but.. is XDA TV the first aid for very still threads? Strange things happens the last time on XDA.

appelflap, you are still alive? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] fernblatt:
Good Stuff

Thanks for the work and effort put into this.

I may just hold onto my GT2 a little while longer because of this.

Have always liked the default ICS browser on my Tab, for some reason it has acted the most stable - this version of the browser is even more so

T
[Android Apps and Games] jjhiza:
Honestly guys, there's probably a good reason for the delay. Quick ICS Browser just got officially updated to support JB yesterday...so an update for this could be around the corner. The dev is clearly still active; I use Thumb Keyboard as well, and it's been updated recently. I'm just as frustrated as anyone, with the lack of feedback, but seriously guys...you're getting your panties in a bunch over a $0.99 app, which is pretty weak. And taking the piss out of a dev over an update is the surest way to never actually see it. Polite, reasonable questions are fine, but flaming developers is simply out of line...hopefully there's a reason for the delay, but if not, and if an update never comes, just move on to something else.

Really sorry for the delay. Just wanted to let you know that I started working on this again. Hope to have a working JB update this week.
[Android Apps and Games] Robertus:
Excellent news! Does this include upgrades to the non-JB version? My main desire is for working text reflow and better pinch-to-zoom on the Sammy GS3. I realize this is a Samsung problem, of course, but can anything be done about it with a quality browser like yours? Not interested in Opera Mobile or Maxthon. Like I say, a quality browser like yours!

This morning on my Galaxy S3, Zoner Antivirus told me that ICS Browser+ has the trojan trojan.androidos.agent.h. Is this a false positive? Do you have any info about this?

Thank you

Trojan.AndroidOS.Agent.H in ICS Browser+ reported by Zoner Antivirus

Please share knowledge.

Maybe it's a false positive; I have Avast but it didn't detected it.
[Android Apps and Games] momashi:
I just installed ICS Browser+ and it rocks!! I needed an alternative to Dolphin (UI is too awkward) and Firefox (way too resource hungry). ICS Browser had alot of things going for it but was missing alot of functionality. ICS Browser+ has all the stock browser's strength and fills alot of those functionality gaps.

If you are still develloping for ICS/this project, may I make the following suggestions:

- Quick Controls: Add a history button.

- Functionality: I am still unable to save an image or picture from the web to my phone with Android Stock or ICS+ browser. Function is available in Dolphin and would be pretty usefull to have.
[Android Apps and Games] Robertus:
