I've got a request, would it be possible to add and option to change the size of the activation zone for the quick controls?

I'm using teamhacksung's build 14 on my I9000M. In both the stock browser and browser + the controls work perfect in portrait but in landscape they never show up from the "top" side of the phone, and sometimes from the "bottom".

I tried swapping out the stock browser for this updated one I found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1408088

In this version with a 20 pixel activation zone the controls work flawlessly from the "bottom" side, and sometimes from the "top" in the stock browser.

So any chance of adding a slider or something to change the zone size? Or maybe a couple different range options?
[Android Apps and Games] hop3l3ss1990:
Hey :)

It would be nice to test your browser, but sadly the market marked my device as incompatible.

It's an U9GT2 tablet on Andorid 4.0.3

could it be possible, that you maybe post the app as apk on a regular filehoster? or maybe change the compatibility list?

thank you in advance :)

Feature request:

If you go to about:debug, you can go into the debug settings. This is actually where you can set the User Agent in the stock browser. Would it be possible to keep those settings stuck, instead of having to browse to that page every time? You could remove the User Agent from Advanced and leave it where it should be stock.

edit: Maybe to keep the normal person from getting into them so easily, add a checkbox under Advanced to enable debug settings.

Xperia Neo support

First of all, Great app! :D

I have an Xperia Neo with CM 9.0 installed, as you might now the ROM has problems with the browser that freezes :mad:

But I installed ICS Browser+ on my Neo and the browser works :D

The only problem is: When I reboot my phone it doesn't work anymore :confused:

Can you maybe fix this problem? Or is this a problem in the ROM itself?
[Android Apps and Games] fidju:
Just downloaded for my Xoom running EOS nightlies and it is amazing! Thanks for the hard work!
[Android Apps and Games] HuckFinn:
First thanks for all the hard work. I read through this entire thread and saw this requested once but no response or other requests.

I really like how Dolphin for Pad lets you organize your bookmarks into folders and customize the order they are listed. I also like the option to clear history/cache on exit. Unfortunately the developers have pretty much abandoned this program and it crashes in ICS often.

If you could add the bookmark organization this would become my primary browser and the clear history/cache would be icing on the cake.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Nice !!! Brilliant For My S2 With ICS To Give Me The Stock ICS Browser And Still Keep TWiz
[Android Apps and Games] mattytj:
Thanks so much for your work on the browser so far. I'm still getting the hang of my tablet (transformer prime) so forgive me if my requests and questions are ridiculous or covered.

I searched everywhere and couldn't figure out or find the answer to what the diagonal arrows do when typing in the address bar of this browser. They don't appear in the stock browser. Picture attached.

Also I would love a way to quickly close a tab without having to switch to it first. Bear in mind I am on a tablet so don't have the swipe away feature within the browser.
[Android Apps and Games] mattytj:
Also I was thinking about what would make tab management easier on a tablet and came up with what i though would be a cool idea.

If you could implement a tab view screen with an overview of all active tabs and an ability to swipe them away or add a new tab then that would be awesome. What would be even better would be if access to this view could be granted by way of a gesture, say a five finger pinch (like a five finger pinch zoom out.)

Update:

Also found a problem that I couldn't replicate in the stock browser - using the transformer prime keyboard touchpad to click on a link automatically opens any link in a new tab. This is the case regardless of whether I use the touchpad button or tap the touchpad itself.

Update 2:

It opens links in a new tab whether I tap the screen, touchpad or touchpad button.
[Android Apps and Games] dnmtsn:
The little arrows are very useful - when you want to use the auto complete search results without running a search already. You hit the arrow and the result is added to the search bar. This way you can add to it and only run a search when you're done.

The quick controls are a fantastic development. I imagine this will be the natural evolution of the touch interface, not only for the browser but for the entire android OS. Why use screen space with permanent soft buttons when you could invoke a quick-controls style context-sensitive menu from any app? I already find myself hitting the sides and expecting to find a back button in other apps...
[Android Apps and Games] sishgupta:
Can we get source for this please?

[Android Apps and Games] dwang:
I don't think the android browser is under GPL so the author isn't obligated to release his changes.
[Android Apps and Games] xxproblemzxx:
Love this app. Been using it for weeks now. Only thing that Ive really been wanting since using the stock browser is the ability to have the URL bar visible while still using quick controls
[Android Apps and Games] idic:
Release your finger in the quick control menu's tab icon: not the thumbnails of individual tabs, the actual blue icon in the semicircular wheel. This opens a menu which looks like the Recent Apps menu but contains all your tabs, which can be swiped away. It works just like the menu in ICS.
[Android Apps and Games] idic:
I agree - I'm doing this all the time. I can't understand why it hasn't already received wider adoption. Having controls literally under your fingertips, wherever they happen to be, is just so easy to use. I hope it can start appearing in other apps soon.

Definitely a huge and useful feature that differentiates Android from iOS and potentially one that could become a defining feature. This is the sort of thing that should be considered innovative and patentable, surely, compared to the tenuous litigation going on at the moment regarding lock screens...
[Android Apps and Games] Akiller2:
Awesome, different between old browser and the new one is quite big
[Android Apps and Games] dan8e11:
Great app. Just 1 little bug to report, enabling full screen does'nt work. On another note listed bookmark option would be the only over option I would like to see, which I've seen other people ask for. So +1 that
[Android Apps and Games] Nebucatnetzer:
Full screen is working fine over here.
[Android Apps and Games] samsungepicgeek:
Im using a Samsung Epic 4g, and it says it is incompatible with my devices.:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] rjax:
Regarding full-screen browsing, I'm assuming the problem is that while the notification bar goes away, the soft keys remain fully illuminated instead of turning into dim grey circles? Because that's what's happening to me. It would be nice to get the dim grey circles in full-screen to help prevent the possibility of screen burn-in.
[Android Apps and Games] dan8e11:
Yeah the soft keys don't disappear at all. in the stock browser the keys fade to dots. But nothing happens in browser+.
[Android Apps and Games] Altair4:
Apologize if this feature is already there but...

FEATURE REQUEST

-The option of a separate screen orientation lock within the browser for all the times you want to use the browser in landscape mode lying sideways on the bed. (Already implemented in Dolphin and the stock 2.3 browser I believe.
[Android Apps and Games] double1:
This doesn't work for me :(
[Android Apps and Games] dnmtsn:
That would be a great feature but it doesn't work for me either (xoom ics 4.0.3) any suggestion to make it work?
[Android Apps and Games] minipaolo:
same here.
[Android Apps and Games] fmorel:
Incompatible with your device

I wanted to install this on my Motorola Atrix (we've got an alpha ROM of ICS), but the Market says it's incompatible. Could you change it so it accepts it, or provide an APK in the thread?

Edit: NVM, after remembering to search the thread, I emailed the developer for it.
[Android Apps and Games] fidju:
I set plugins to On Demand, it would be nice if Flash would activate only on the box that I press instead of everywhere on the page that has Flash. Some pages have Flash ads that bog everything down when I try to watch a video on a website. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] rjax:
A small feature that might be nice would be the ability to create a direct shortcut to Incognito mode from the homescreen. Even just being able to access it as a visible activity would be fine, since I could then create my own shortcut using QuickShortcutMaker.
[Android Apps and Games] efrommel:
fot better multitasking needs the ability to save the video right where leave it if you need to get out of the browser app. Not a the begining of the video, this would be awsome. Its the only thing that i have the give credit to apple
[Android Apps and Games] pierreburel:
Nice app !

I would love to see an option to make the Action Bar persistant (not disapearing while scrolling), and more and more (and more) gestures :

- two fingers swipe left/right = previous/next page ;

- two fingers swipe up/down = top/bottom of page ;

- three fingers swipe left/right = previous/next tab ;

- three fingers swipe up = close tab ;

- three fingers swipe down = show tabs.

I freaking love gesture :D

Actually we need a better way to use tabs on mobile, since there's no tab bar... So gestures would be nice.
[Android Apps and Games] rndmnss:
Doesn't work for me either

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

...or being able to open a link in Incognito mode from a long press
[Android Apps and Games] jjsoviet:
I love this app on my new Transformer Prime. Very fast and stable. :D

Since you're looking for suggestions, I might as well give some:

Speed Dial-like Start Page

- I really love Opera Mobile's customizable Speed Dial. What if you guys can implement this function as well? It can be the same layout as the Most-Visited Pages list, but can be set with custom URLs as well as user-definable thumbnails.

More Gesture Functions

- People will clamor for this one, I'm sure. Adding user-set gestures will definitely improve navigation along with the Quick-Controls settings. Multitouch support will be greatly appreciated - I've seen its potential in the game Osmos.

I hope these can be implemented in the newer versions of the browser. Thanks guys for this app. :D
[Android Apps and Games] compuw22c:
Could someone either explain this better or maybe even make a YouTube video explaining it? Not only can I not figure it out but on the transformer prime its significantly more annoying as it takes up space where real working auto complete results could be seen. Maybe make it an option? Love a lot of the features but this one makes me almost want to uninstall it.
[Android Apps and Games] djmcnz:
Dude. :rolleyes:

Hit the arrow yourself and find out - you don't need a video for a one-step process...
[Android Apps and Games] munkiii:
The arrows are in the red circles i've highlighted.

Click one of these to put the search term into your address bar, to add or edit to the words without searching that term directly.
[Android Apps and Games] golfdiesel:
The setting that ics+ should be used instead of the stock browser does not work.

When I set Opera or Firefox as default the setting stays that way.
[Android Apps and Games] compuw22c:
Sorry if i sounded irritated, I do love the app and have tried both buttons and niether seemed to work correctly... Also, the arrow you highlighted wasn't the one I was referring to. It may be a tablet only thing. I've included a picture, its the 2 opposing arrows pointing in and upwards that have me confused.
[Android Apps and Games] rjax:
Something that seems like it might be quick and easy to do and would be appreciated would be a couple tweaks to long-pressing:

1) When long-pressing on a image that's also a link, add the same options that pop up when long-pressing a text link (except for "select text" for obvious reason).

2) Make one of the options that pop up when long-pressing a text link be "share link" so I can save the trouble of having to first open the link, then pull up the menu, then hit "share page."

And while I'm thinking of long-pressing functionality, I don't know of any way to retrieve alt-text image identification since we can't hover a mouse over an image like we can on a desktop (unless maybe we use a USB OTG cable or Bluetooth to connect a mouse). So if you could add an option to make long-pressing an image retrieve the alt-text, I'd appreciate it.
[Android Apps and Games] jjsoviet:
Using the browser more and more, and I have found some glitches:

- Sometimes, navigating or refreshing through a site displays only a white blank page. Further refreshing fixes this issue.

- Animated GIFs and PNGs are not rendered as fluently as that of Opera Browser. Sometimes it slows down so much it's only displaying the animation as a slideshow of images.

- There are instances where the navigation bar gets stuck midway through being hidden while scrolling a webpage.
[Android Apps and Games] 48dodge:
Love this browser. Yes it FCs some but so does the stock browser on my Xoom. One difference is when I open the browser+ up after a FC, it opens my page up again. Stock browser goes back to the home page. Anyway, I also have the lagging issue when dragging. Another little thing that I haven't seen while quickly looking through posts is when you use the thumb controls and go to the settings button (3 squares stacked) then go to select the different settings, the words you have your thumb over are not highlighted like in the stock browser. I have the latest EOS nightly #57 and OCed to 1504.
[Android Apps and Games] OSully:
I have the same issue.. you're seeing the lockscreen indicator arrows. I see the gingerbread lock screen tab. Hopefully op fixes it, its annoying. :p
[Android Apps and Games] mircea1965:

[Android Apps and Games] twiz0r:
It looks like I have been getting a MAJOR wakelock caused by browser+. Anything I can do to possibly fix the issue?
[Android Apps and Games] double1:
I noticed the dev hasn't chimed in in a few weeks just wondering if this is still being worked on?
[Android Apps and Games] bekyndnunwind:
I just emailed the dev with the following request:

I was wondering, would it be possible for you to modify the inverted browsing feature and rename it to 'night mode'?

The modifications I was thinking about would be if you could make the background of every page black colored, plain text white colored, links ICS blue colored, and keep the images as they are (in full color, or even B&w, but not inverted).​

I have a firefox plugin on my desktop that does this and the color scheme is AWESOME! I'll let you guys know what I hear back...
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Most definitely. I had to postpone it for a while because of other things. But I'm on it again.
[Android Apps and Games] double1:
CSS in the browser is not rendering. Particularly this site http://www.reddit.com/r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu/ It used to render in this browser until they made some recent changes to their site. It renders in Firefox fine. Wonder it that could be fixed? Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] djmcnz:
I can confirm the "white page" bug on 4.0.3.

It did not manifest on 4.0.1.

It can be "fixed" by scrolling the whole (white) page fully up and then down and then the page is displayed correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] daandman:
I'm often not able to download stuff from it, I end up copying the URL & pasting it in Dolphin Browser.

[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Absolutely still working on this. Just finished a quick controls editor. Will upload a new version with some more additions next week.
[Android Apps and Games] happyhd2owner:
wow, I can't believe all you guys dislike HtC's automatic reflowing of text so much. I found it convient as hell. No effort what so ever to make what I was reading noon- pain in the ass having to scroll left and right a million times just to read an article. I'll take hte compromise of having to double tap to to get the text realigned, but I've yet to find a browser that does as good of a job as HTC's did it. I'm obviously in the minority about this though and have already talked about it to death on another post so no more from me about it, Just surprised is all.
[Android Apps and Games] Spyr0s:
Yeah text reflow owns, that's why I'm using Opera Mobile most of the time. ICS browser has big improvements but this is the only thing I miss badly.
[Android Apps and Games] NexusIndivulsus:
Have to agree on the text reflow. This browser was good enough, especially with gesture controls, that I happily forked for the donate version and use it as my primary browser but I still keep Opera around.

On that note, would be useful to have a dialogue when downloading that allowed you to choose the destination folder.

Otherwise, tip top work. Excellent browser that, as I say, is my main one these days.
[Android Apps and Games] mrx8836350:

No worries :) It is obvious that a lot of users like this feature. I also like it. I will do all i can to implement this in the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] qwer23:
Very nice! Could you add an option to permanently enable desktop agent? Miss that sooo much from honeycomb and the gnex's 720p display shows desktop websites just fine.

Cheers

qwer23
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
No problem. Great idea!
[Android Apps and Games] charloà06:
Isn't it already avaible on the default browser ? Go into parameters and into Labs .
[Android Apps and Games] qwer23:
No, not permanently. You can only use settings->desktop view for your current site and you have to repeat that everytime you view a website.

There's no setting like this under Labs or anywhere else, I even tried about:debug to make sure :)
[Android Apps and Games] SwiftLegend:
Have you tried typing "about:debug" in the url bar, then going to settings and changing the UAString setting there? I know that used to work on my D1 and X2.
[Android Apps and Games] qwer23:
Omg thx! Didn't realize the UA in UAString could actually mean UserAgent :rolleyes:

Thx again.

Still would be cool if it would be able without about:debug :o
[Android Apps and Games] ehsangolpesar12:
Seems nice, I‘ll give it a try

Ps: The quick controls are very nice, but they are big for screen size on Nexus s, nice job btw
[Android Apps and Games] dcsworld:
Hi,

I only seem to get the control if i run the Browser Plus app, is that how its supposed to work?

If so is it possible to get the same control when running the standard browser from the standard browser icon?

Love the controls, really useful, cant believe google didnt think of this!
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Update Beta 1.0.2

* added option to set User Agent String (Settings -> Advanced)

* cosmetic fixes: new icons, removed background controls (see screenshot1)

* switched the "add new tab" control and the "show tabs" control for easier access

BTW the option request desktop site is still used. Selecting this option will toggle the User Agent setting for the current tab. All pages loaded in that tab will listen to the new setting (this way one can set a tab to load mobile pages when the default user agent is set to desktop or vice versa.
[Android Apps and Games] Stigy:
Thank you so much --- love this so far.

Browser is still as fast with some great additions. The extended quick controls is exactly what I was thinking about this morning, but glad I found this!
[Android Apps and Games] popophobia:
Can you add the function to scroll the page with volume buttons? The activation area of the quick settings is too large for a comfortable scrolling.

Other than that, great mod!
[Android Apps and Games] ATnTdude:
^^^Actually, I think it would be more useful if the activation area of the quick controls was on just one side of the screen. I don't even use the regular controls on the stock browser because I run my finger along the side of the screen to scroll (a fat finger in the middle of the screen ruins the reading experience).

Maybe an option for left/right/both?

Also, could there be an option to add the bookmark icon on the url bar (in additon to the tab and menu buttons)? I use bookmarks more than even the tab button and 3.x had both on top. I'd pay for that. Seriously.

And not to pile on, but an option for a persistant URL/search bar would be great. This thing has a huge screen, I can sacrifice the 1/3 of an inch for quicker access to the bar.

or I might just be happy with the quick control activation being on just one side of the screen. That would be cool by itself.
[Android Apps and Games] eezdva:
+1

One thing though. But one thing I don't seem to be able to figure out is how to keep the browser open. If for example I need to go to another app the browser closed. So lost the page I was on.

Checked the settings but not sure where.

Other then that it seems faster then the stock if you ask me.

Goeie browser man.

LastPass integration

There's only one reason I use a non-stock browser -- tight LastPass integration. Dolphin has it with a plugin and that's why I use Dolphin. Would never consider changing from Dolphin unless the candidate browser has LP integration.
