[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
Already love the icon and it isn't even installed yet! :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
All it's missing (not vital) is a toggle to open an incognito tab :D

EPIC Browser! Best on ANY phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gnexdude:
This is bad ass thanks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] southeastbeast:
Add a uastring, incognito, and settings and ill buy donate version :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TSF14:
Thank's, 5 Stars!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pinkthesink:
Fantastic. Reminds me of the galaxy tab browser. Great work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sert00:
after trying free version for 2 days..buyed now paid app and rated 5 stars.good job!hope to see many option in future..:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
Once fully set up to suit eg all buttons in correct place it would be nice to have a backup or sync option please as I'm always flashing new ROMs

Thanks,

PS maybe this could be a donation only feature?

Also you have created probably the best add-on to the best browser yet your thanks mater is 4! :O Start pressing Thanks everybody :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pego71:
Very nice , congratulation for this app...thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virifi:
New incognito tab, settings, switching uastring will be added in the next release.

I'll add backup option in the future release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Karadenizli:
Great Job thx

sent from me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
My new nexus comes Tuesday and this will be my first purchase :D

If backup turns out to be difficult don't worry about it as I'll screenshot my set up and do it manually :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
Is there a high battery usage issue with this?

Battery usage for this is showing up as 20% after just a few minutes browsing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
No everything is fine here, shouldn't imagine it would use anymore battery than the stock browser
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shadowpunx:
Download chrome beta, you'll be waaaaay happier

I love my pitbulls
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
To have most of my screen taken up by address bars? The ICS browser is the best there is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droid_ALM2ND:
I agree... 10 char
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smalis:
Runs fine on my galaxy tab 10.1 running AOKP ICS 4.03. But, changes to the quick controls in the settings and enabling the upper and lower quick controls does not actually change the quick controls, and I can't get the upper and lower controls to appear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forgiventhief:
Does this have working flash?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
This is just a plug-in for the stock browser. So if you have flash installed it will work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
Feature request: Allow modifying the size of the area that triggers quick controls. A slider in quick controls prefs to increase the size would be great!

I did this for stock browser before. Due to your additions of the corner menus just hacking it (it=the hardcoded size change) into the apk myself doesn't work. So atm I can't use this really nice browser which really is a pity.

Looking forward to you adding this option!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virifi:
Version 1.1.0 have been released just now!!

In version 1.1.0, tablets are supported.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virifi:
I want to add this option in the future release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smalis:
Excellent! All quick control functions work now. Best browser out there! Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpasint:
Awesome browser.

Joe
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virifi:
Support modifying the size of trigger area in version 1.1.2 :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
nice :)

Any plans to remove the dependancy on Browser.apk?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smalis:
Tablet bug: when multiple tabs are open, the number shown in the Tab Management Quick Control stays at "1", even though you can see the multiple tabs, and switch among them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virifi:
I want to remove it.

I'll investigate the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virifi:
Thank you for your bug report.

I'll fix it in the next release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jvandenbroek:
Really great browser, better than ICS Browser +. One suggestion: Possibility to add "Request desktop version" to the quick control.

Thanks for your efforts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virifi:
I'm thinking of a better UI to toggle User Agent.

Wait for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jvandenbroek:
Thank you, looking forward to the next update. I've one issue, which is not necessarily caused by your build but probably happens also with the stock browser: Many times every link I open will launch a new tab. These are links which aren't supposed to open in a new window. Is this a known issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
request: is it possible to make the reload button turn into a stop button while the page is loading as it is in the menu?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virifi:
Support this feature in version 1.1.3 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
Now that was quick. Thank you.

Seems we'll have to think of some nice requests to keep you busy ;-)

Tapatalked from my SGS (GT-I9000) running CM9
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
Oh, I've got one. Not sure this is possible though: toggle button to load/not load images (should be easy) and one for all external elements (meaning everything but the html itself) in quick controls. Could be useful on slow connections.

Oh, and of course: additional swipe actions. Switching tabs with swipe left/right, showing address girls with swipe down would be nice

Tapatalked from my SGS (GT-I9000) running CM9
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
Love the reflow feature, donate version purchased.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chaarger:
Thanks for keeping this browser updated. I have one request, which is in ICS Browser+. Can you add an option to re-open the tabs that were open previously in the browser? So that when you re-open the browser after a period of inactivity, those tabs come back and you do not have to manually open those tabs again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virifi:
Support uastring toggle in version 1.1.4 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Quick comment. It would be nice if setting the user agent via quick controls could stick rather than reverting at some point. This would make it consistent with the result from going into the settings menu.

Example: do a Google search for the song Stereo Hearts. The official YouTube video is unavailable on mobile. If I go into settings and pick the desktop user agent, then I can pull up the desktop site and view the video successfully.

The standard "request desktop site" menu option fails here, because the moment I get kicked to m.youtube.com, that option still leaves me on the mobile site. Try it using the standard checkbox - no matter where you browse to, there seems to be no way to simultaneously click the desktop link and request the desktop site from that link - because clicking the link reverts to the mobile UA which instantly triggers a redirect to the m site.

Using the quick controls to choose the desktop agent, the same thing happens. I can do the search on the desktop version of Google, but the moment I click the link, your browser dumps me back to the mobile UA. Could you please tweak it so that the UA selection sticks until I say so?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jvandenbroek:
Thanks a lot for that, works great :) Got another idea (hope you don't mind): Close tabs without the need to open them. Maybe one could slide out the tabs just as with the ICS task switcher :rolleyes: Guess that's probably too much to ask ;) Otherwise closing by sliding to the tab's preview corner (with a close button) would be fine either :D

Thanks for your efforts and I'll definately donate soon!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blierp:
is it possible to add the quick scroll function from the stock browser? It's really handy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
There's some love of quick scroll in stock browser? Haven't noticed anything. And this browser basically is stock, with some features on top.

Opera has done Nice quick scrolling: it shows an arrow button if you scroll fast that jumps right to the top/bottom

Tapatalked from my SGS (GT-I9000) running CM9
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xt720:
request:

Is it possible to change the "inverted rendering" in the manner that only the text is being inverted but the pictures stay normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blierp:
Sure is, goto settings > advanced. You can find it there
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] burt_ie:
This is awsome!

I was using ICS Browser + but there hasnt been any updates...so it looks like ive wasted my money there!

Just downloaded Quick ICS Browser and I am very impressed... especially with the text reflow option!

Just bought the donate version to support dev :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
uhm, there's no quick scroll related option there!?! Guess you're not using ICS stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blierp:
Oh, sorry, it's probably an asus modification then on my transformer prime
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fascinate:
Small request: When adding a bookmark to a quick control, if the website doesn't have a favicon (bookmark icon), the default icon is the earth globe. Which happens to be the same icon as the "focus address bar" control. Would it be possible to have a different default icon for a bookmark that doesn't have a favicon?

Second request: Would it be possible to add a function like quick scroll that blierp mentioned above? Like a function where you can easily get to the bottom of a long page? For example, in Opera Mobile, if you scroll quickly or multiple times, an arrow appears where when pressed, it automatically goes to the bottom of the page.

This app is already extremely flexible and well thought out. Great work virifi! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gtizon:
Awesome. Will this app/browser also download files that have issues with the stock browser?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kalaexj:
Truly impressive!! Good job!!

It's the first time to have the feeling similar with the one in PC !!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidTalk:
Can someone please upload the APK file, i'm not able to download this via Market. :(

*Edit: Ok, i downloaded it. now where are those pretty blue radial menus?

*Edit: Ok guys, that blue radial menu is a feature of ICS browser itself. actually this browser does NOTHING. its just the mirror image of the stock browser. i didn't notice any performance gains with this browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smalis:
dude, take a few minutes to learn the app before you spout off and make a fool of yourself. the ability to customize the quick controls well beyond the stock browser makes this (and ICS Browser+) the best browsers out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidTalk:
Dude, i expressed my opinion. i was expecting this browser to be faster, that's what the name suggests. Not useless tweaks to the function that's already there. Use it and enjoy it if you like, but keep a closed mouth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baliriot:
thanks for developing this browser :D

indeed really faster than stock ics browser...

gave 5 stars for this thread & in play store...

i'm using LG P990 AOKP ICS...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OSully:
So I have an issue - if I have reformat to fit screen unchecked and text reflow checked, the browser is all wacky, won't zoom properly.

I hate having "reformat to fit screen" because it squishes all the text to the left when fully zoomed out. Any way to have the reflow work without it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] palmcrash:
Can you please add option in donate version to open new tabs when selecting a link from another app (ex. Gmail)? It currently loads the link in the latest tab, which I don't want "overwritten". Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
feature request: add option to start on bookmarks-page
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] palmcrash:
+1. Even better if 1x1 widget.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Feature request: persistent per-site user agent controls. So if I want foo.com to always think I'm an iPad, it always will.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pitchb3nd:
I second this request.

In any case, this browser is close to perfection, working perfectly on my
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
can we please have an option to set a bookmarks page as homepage? like the speed dial in opera mini
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] palmcrash:
I second this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
dev? is this thing dead? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
Sure looks it.

Auto text reflow doesn't work on S3 :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virifi:
I recently purchased S3.

I want to support Auto text reflow on S3. Wait for a while, please.

I will update this app in this week, but this update will not include text reflow support on S3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
And it force closes on Jellybean.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smccall:
Been using this on my s2 since its initial release now on my galaxy just wanted to say thanks for an awesome app. Keep up the great work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
Jellybean has a all new, quick controls. It's bad arse, all new animation and expands.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
True but I'd still prefer to be able to customize it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virifi:
I released version 1.1.5.

It will be available in the market soon.

In ver.1.1.5, Jerry Bean devices are supported but there are some limitations.

In JB, auto text reflow, inverted rendering and top url bar are not currently supported. Sorry.

Other new features:

Add some quick control items - "Open homepage", "Scroll to top", "Scroll to bottom".

Support changing the size of quick controls.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
It is called ICS browser for a reason :p not JB browser
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
Thank you very much for that!

Noooooo. Any plans to fix at least inverted rendering? That and quick controls are the reasons I use this browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virifi:
I will support inverted rendering in the next update.

I will release next version in a few days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
any plans to open-source this? Especially in a situation like now it'd be very useful. We could fix it for JB-compatibility ourselves and probably even imrpvoe on it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] muffstic:
Is Jerry Bean the new Chinese version of Android?

Sorry, but seriously it still force closes on jelly bean.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
(eyeroll)

It doesn't force close on Jellybean anymore on my GNex. So maybe you are having a different issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fascinate:
Could you please also add a few more quick control items - "Previous tab" and "Next tab"?

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tracerit:
Anyway to get my Google account bookmarls to show up? I guess since in account settings, Browser isnt something that you can sync, nothing shows up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saxelfur:
Quick Controls don't show up on HOX CM10

Hi,

maybe someone here has an idea. I recently upgraded my HTC One X to CM10 and since then, the quick controls don't show up anymore - neither in stock browser nor in this great browser?

Any advice (and I know this is the Galaxy Nexus forum, I'm just hoping somebody had the same issue ...)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
increased the size of the trigger area? you probably don't hit it as it's too small
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saxelfur:
It really was as simple as that. Thank you you, good Sir, it works like a charm now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
Any status update on the JB merging?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virifi:
Currently, I'm working to support Nexus 7.

This device doesn't have stock browser (have Chrome instead)

and Quick ICS Browser heavily depends on stock browser's bookmarks

so Quick ICS Browser crashes in Nexus7.

I'm trying to remove dependency on stock browser's bookmarks.

But if Quick ICS Browser doesn't use that bookmarks,

I have to implement bookmark syncing logic from scratch

because that logic are not included in AOSP code and part of

Google's proprietary apps (Nexus7 doesn't have bookmark syncing app)

To support bookmark syncing, I'm reading Chromium project's code, which have Chrome syncing logic.

Probably, I will take a long time to implement it but I want to support it in this month.

And perhaps It could be possible to add Chrome tab syncing feature.

Wait for a while please:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
I'd guess that most JB users are CM10 users who do have stock browser. So maybe it'd be more efficient to first merge the JB browser, fixing inverted mode and stuff, then work on implementing bookmark sync for N7? Or maybe you could avoid the browser crash for now by removing the dependency on bookmark syncing as a workaround for the N7?

just my 2 cent
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virifi:
I've already fixed inverted mode and will release new version in the next week with some JB fixes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fascinate:
Thanks for the update. Great work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virifi:
I've released new version.

It will be available in the store soon.

In this version, I fixed some bugs in JB.

- Support inverted rendering

- Support auto fill text

- Support saving pages

Showing url bar and auto text reflow are not currently supported in JB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
yay, JB update!

new bug: the invert rendering icon is too large. Used to be the correct size before this update. (see screenshot)

old bug: there's still a strange image showing in addressbar dropdown, it seems to be a random one from framework. (see screenshot)

feature request: stock (or at least CM10, but I think it's a stock feature) JB browser has smart quick controls where depending what item you select related ones do show. e.g. you select the tabs management, then you get close tab, new tab, new incognito tab in second level. Would be great to have that. Stock is missing a toggle inverted rendering in quick controls, that's the only important feature for me missing there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virifi:
I've released new version just now.

I can't reproduce the bugs but they probably have been fixed in this version.

New features in version 1.1.7

Volume key tab switching

Add some new quick controls

- Next tab

- Previous tab

- Close all tabs and exit

- Close other tabs

- Open with other browser

Btw, I don't like JB's quick control because initially hidden items cannot be selected quickly.

However, I think it is good that JB's quick control can hold many items.

I want to implement another feature first, so I won't support JB's quick control soon. Sorry:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
1.1.7 fixed the large inverted rendering icon. The address dropdown icon is still buggy.

Could you please add exit and open in other browser command to menu? Or even make the menu customizable? There's so many command i use but use seldom that i don't want to place them in quick controls

edit: regarding the stock JB controls, I agree that most stuff you use on a daily basis should be visible right away. but especially for seldomly used stuff it'd be great. Hidden yet still easily accessible.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sohippy:
Excellent work!

Is it possible to add speed dial function? just like the one in Chrome and Dolphin browser

that would be much more convenient :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwhy:
this seems to be the main thread for development of Quick ICS Browser (I applogise if it is split between devices, but can't seem to find feedback from developer except on this thread).

I have Quick ICS browser on all my devices (Nexus S, Nexus 7, and Xoom) all running different various Jelly Bean roms (see my sig).

First off I have all my devices set to receive Desktop, Java Script On, and Flash installed.

A few bugs that I'm seeing lately that I want to point out that may be Jelly Bean issues but want to point them out in case they might be related to the browser only.

[01] random Quick ICS Browser closures on certain sites without any force closed error. Quick ICS Browser will typically reload the closed pages immediately after reloading, but sometimes the page will shut after load.

I'm suspecting a possible flash or java script issue that might be loading on these pages that might be in embeded in random adds on the page since the pages will sometimes load and other times just close the browser. Disabling javascript sometimes seems to help but of course that means some pages have content that don't fully load (discussion comments ect).

most recent page followed from Reddit...

news artical iphone 5 samsung - ignore the content test url

notice the script for CNET add that embeds itself on the screen might be causing issues or the discussion comments loading?

[02] page loading lock. Sometime Quick ICS Browser will begin to load a new page after clicking a link and the progress bar pauses. Hitting *stop* will bring up the stop action response, but page will be stuck in loading and the progress bar will remain the same spot not moving.

This will result in the browser not being able to load any pages until I manually kill the application which then returns to normal. Once again I've never seen this before on ICS, but I'm seeing this on both my Nexus 7 and Xoom from time to time where I have to kill Quick ICS Browser because it is stuck loading a page.

once again might be JB or Flash Issues, but I'm pointing this out in hopes if it is indeed something in the Browser itself it can be fixed since this browser is so great.

** addded ** pulled up the same link in stock browser and it pulls up a java error in the console trying to access the frame, but doesn't close the browser. so maybe the popup and java script error is forcing the window to close.

also have noticed POPUPS tend to crash with ICS error when clicking on the "X" to close. happens on multiple sites including XDA (try adding a file attachment and clicking the close "X").

possible memory leak problem.

** WISHLIST ** allow popups in java to go full screen in landscape mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arielCo:
links opening in new tab

+1 to this. I

love

how customizable Quick ICS Browser is, but invariably at some point it starts opening all links in a background tab., maybe with a blank page in the middle. The only remedy once it starts doing it is to kill it from Settings > Apps. For what it's worth, it happens with ICS Browser+ too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nexus1294:
It fc's on sites with flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
Has development on this stopped?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s4vva:
seems that way which is a shame as this is my favourite browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rfkd:
Is anybody else getting this (ugly) glow effect around the quick controls (see attachment)? Is there a way to disable it?

Edit: One more thing - when returning from the bookmarks there is always a tab bar visible at the top. Another bug? In order to remove it you have to open/close another tab.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
no glow here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
A security update was just released on play store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rfkd:
Did you check this on your Nexus 10? Might be different with CM though. Both bugs (glow and tab bar) are not present on my Nexus 4 with the same stock Browser.apk and Quick ICS Browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
don't have it on any of my devices (which include a few ones not listed here as it's mainly ones I'm managing, not owning)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
Doesn't work anymore on Kitkat :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
Any plans for a update for 4.4 compatibility? Works fine on 4.3, crashs on startup in 4.4 :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droidlovinyogi:
I really hope that this is updated to work on Kit Kat.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisjorge87:
im trying to flash blazer ROM but its not working. Screen just turns black after the Samsung S screen or the top bar only shows up. Any advice will be very helpful
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lockdown643:
Did you flash with clockwork mod? If so in CW did you do a factory reset/wipe data and wipe the cache/dalvik cache?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisjorge87:
I didn't factory reset maybe thats my problem. And yeah its cwm. Ima try it.
