Hello everyone. I have extracted a Copy of the Chrome Browser apk because i wanted to share it with everyone. if it works for a Non ICS device then Hoorayyy, right? i mean the worst thing that would happen if it doesnt work on Non ICS devices is, it wont install. well anyways, here it is.

Chrome Browser.apk,4Shared

Chrome Browser.apk,MediaFire

How to install:

1.Download through Phone

2.when download is complete, Open the download and select "Install"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

3.If a popup shows up saying you need to enable a setting before intalling, select "Settings" on popup

4.Then make sure "Unknown Sources" is check and then select "Ok" on the Popup

5. Repeat steps 1 or 2.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
We've already gone through this on another thread it ONLY works on ICS devices
[HTC Rezound] GoldenCyn:
Isn't this available on the Google Play Store?
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
yea lol
[HTC Rezound] chrisjz:
I thought this was the official Chrome browser. What the difference between this and the one from Play Store?
[HTC Rezound] the.unknown:
bogus app

He is right, it is for IceCreamSandwich only.

If it is for a other version then you can call it a virus/malware.

If it is for a version other than ICS and up then you can find it in the playstore.

Either the guy who created this thread is fooled by someone or he knows that this is not chrome but a piece of malware instead.

I assume the first option (i trust people very easily) but i am just human so i can be wrong.

Google says that it can not build it for below ICS but their arguments dont make sense so maybe everyone can help by telling google that they want google chrome.

Google will then reply that it will npt be the same as chrome for ICS but you can say that you just want it to be as similar as possible.

Locked.

KIDDING!

Hi all, I have a problem with Chrome. I'm using galaxy s5 and whenever I open the browser for the first time I get the message: Unable to access the network, but once I refresh the page it loads everything as it should. How do I fix it without having to constantly keep chrome in the RAM. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ScelestusAnimus:
Long story short, about a year ago i got a Motorola Bravo (Android) phone for a few weeks but returned it because I couldn't really afford a data plan at the time. About a month ago I switched back to smartphones, this time for good, and now have a Samsung Galaxy SII.

The motorola phone had some AWESOME user-friendly features, such as resizing of widgets. Is this taken out because of Touchwiz or was that an older version of Android that's now obsolete? What all does Touchwiz take away functionality-wise? What does Gingerbread (2.3.6 to be specific) look like without Touchwiz?

I've yet to root my phone (the only reason I'd have right now is more battery life) but if I could reove Touchwiz and get some serious UI improvements, that'd definitely be a gamechanger for me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Biporch:
Motorola has Moto blur I think

HTC has sense

Samsung has TouchWiz

The clean Androind would be an AOSP based rom, like CM9/AOKP

I don't know if you understand me, I think I'm drunk or something right know can't remember :P

Oh

Galaxy Nexus is like what it looks witout the Touchwiz.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cryosx:
Make sure to go the MIUI route if you're on GB or go the AOKP route if you're on ICS. Those are good starting points if you want to see some nice UI improvements. If you decide to go AOKP make sure to mess around in ROM control.

AOSP stock apps on ICS (AOKP/CM9) are much nicer than touchwizz/samsung ics apps.

UI Ranking

#1 AOSP (AOKP,CM9) and MIUI [all ICS based]

#2 MIUI GB , Sensation ROM GB (Samsung based rom), AOSP GB (CM7) (LunarUI theme)

#3 Stock Samsung ROM or Stock CM7 [both GB based]

Recommend Choice is AOKP http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574718

Just make sure you know what you're doing when you flash
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hobbs:
You just need a different launcher. Try go launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ScelestusAnimus:
Oh yeah! Now that you mention it, i remember reading about Motoblur.

Are these custom Roms or just the normal Android OS without the company's additions to it? I have gingerbread atm (I'd rather wait for ICS until the official release from AT&T)

I tried Go launcher. I didn't like how it was basically an OS on top of the normal OS. They both were running at the same time and I had to rearrange my apps to make them the same as they were. I just want the Android OS without the stupid additions/subtractions from Samsung/Motorola/etc >.<

However I have to say, I do like how Go Launcher doesn't require rooting
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
You do realize, right, that Touchwiz is a launcher too? And even vanilla Android builds use a launcher? When you use Go Launcher, it's not running "on top of" what's already there; it's replacing Touchwiz.

I'm sorry, but you can't have vanilla Android OS without installing it in the form of a custom ROM. Samsung makes their own builds of Android, which is what you have. If you want something else, somebody else has to build it...meaning the developers on this forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ScelestusAnimus:
Maybe it just felt like that because I could cancel it at any time and go back and forth between normal touchwiz and Go launcher. I know this is a versatility feature, but I'd rather have that disabled, as crazy as it may sound.

But that's good to know. I didn't know a launcher was REQUIRED, just thought it was what most people did. I'll look into other launchers.

Is there still one where you can resize the UI elements and stuff like that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xhepera:
As mattdm said, all Android builds require a launcher. Otherwise you'd have no usable GUI. When you were switching back and forth between GO and TouchWiz were you using a home/launcher switcher, or were you just using the default ui to choose one each time you went to your home screen?

You can have several launchers installed and use a switcher to make one "stick" until you decide you want a different look/feel.

Some prefer GO or LauncherPro. I use ADW EX and TouchWiz. ADW and LauncherPro are very configurable. VERY. Both have their ardent fans. I've not used GO.

PS: You do NOT want the ability to change launchers disabled. ;-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nbell13:
Uhh... touchwiz lets you resize certain widgets... (UI elements) pretty sure go launcher and adw ex do too...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattgyver:
CM9 uses the Trebuchet launcher. as it has been hammered multiple times, all roms use some sort of launcher. I'm not sure what AOKP uses, but I'd wager its either Trebuchet, nova, or apex..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PatriotXT92:
I believe it comes with both apex and nova. They are fairly similar but each have a few unique features.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] docskurlock:
Tasks came with trebuchet. I switched to nova and I'm fairly sure that apex came on it too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Winklie:
First off, Welcome to Samsung!

A little background.

AOSP = Android Open Source Program. Meaning, a open source of code editable by anyone.

Touchwiz/Motoblur/Sense = Not AOSP, they were written as a launcher/GUI for each phone by their developer (Motorola/Samsung/HTC). On top of that, these GUI/Overlays have their fingers into everything on a phone, this is why updates take so long. Google creates a new version of Android and passes it to the phone manufacturer, they in turn need to take that new version and paste their GUI/Overlay on top of it, this takes time and money. Further, once the phone manufacturer finishes updating, they need to give the software to the vendor (VZW/AT&T etc) who add more bloat/custom crap to the software.

Custom ROM's, are and are not AOSP, Some are pure AOSP like AOKP or CM (Cyanogenmod), they are written by groups of people, all of whom work in concert to bring you the ROM. Then there are custom ROM's that are not in the realm of AOSP. For example, I use Phone Bricker, written by LilChris here on XDA. This ROM is not really Open Source as it's written by one person, the author may give out the source, I don't know.

So what would your phone look like w/o Touchwiz? CM9/AOKP is as close as you'll get. Those ROMs use the closest to stock version of Android.

To confuse matters even more, there are Launchers, Go Launcher/Apex etc. They operate as yet another GUI on top of a GUI, inside a ROM. So you could have a stock, unrooted Galaxy S2, with Touchwiz and Go Launcher, and customize it to make it look like you want it too. Or, you could root your phone, Update to CM9 (running Ice Cream Sandwich btw), and use the launcher that they have there, or change that to Go Launcher.

The options are endless, read read read. I am new to Samsung, I came from Motorola where things are done quite a bit differently. I can tell you this though, you are infinitely better off with a Samsung phone than a Motorola Phone. Not only does Motoblur blow chunks, but Motorola is a terrible company as far as software updates go. Toss in locked bootloaders... anyway, I hope the above answered your question.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RensoreK:
Has anyone noticed the UI slows down after a while? Kind of like when a notification toast pops up try scrolling around, the framerate drops a lot until the toast vanished. This happens on all ROMs I've tried and several kernels, I've noticed restarting the ui (by changing options or killing the process) speeds everything up again. Anyone else noticed this? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Yeah I think I do see that now that you mention it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RensoreK:
Also happens on Apex Launcher, NOVA standard and prime, and also on the stock ICS launcher. I'm running Franco's 135 w/ 512MHz GPU and tried with slower GPU speeds and same result (I've been luckily able to run 512MHz with no problems, even with the undervolted nightly 133?). If you enable "horizontal recents" (in most custom ROMs, which basically restarts the SystemUI without losing the wallpaper along the way) everything smooths back out. Hate having to do that twice a day or more and can't seem to pinpoint why this happens... Memory leak??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I've never seen that. It would drive me nuts if I had.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
A good lesson - swap is as useless as it gets, especially on a system with 768MB memory. Consider it a punishment for doing not-so-smart stuff.

Having said that, take the project from Sensation and use MT4G files (specifically MT4G bootloader), and you might succeed in reviving it.

Viber

Hi,

This is a member of the Viber R&D Team!

datdaigia- Viber is not completely supported with Android tablets. Therefore, we unfortunately will not be able to completely resolve tablet issues for you.

The new version, 2.2, for Android will be available in the Android Market for your upgrade shortly. Please upgrade to this version when available, it might be more stable on your device.

If anyone has any questions/suggestions for Viber, please feel free to let us know, and we will address them shortly.

Thanks,

Viber Team
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] datdaigia:
Thanks for your information

Hope so it working on my tablet
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] datdaigia:
Have something news?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Viber Team:
Unfortunately not yet.

We are working around the clock to complete 2.2 as soon as we can, but we still don't have exact estimates on when that will happen.

It's important to note that the new version does not guarantee that Viber will work on your Tablet, especially in light of the fact that a Custom ROM is installed on it.

You might want to contact the ROM developers for more information, or a possible solution for the issue.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
Sure it will work.

Am running Custom AOSP ICS on my phone and works just fine, so its not a custom rom issue.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Viber Team:
Custom ROMs alter phones very differently, and that effect depends on many different factors (original Android version, the exact type of the phone, etc.)

So it could still be (and actually - most likely) a Custom ROM effect.

That is why we suggest for users with Custom ROMs to contact the ROM developers, or find existing private-user workarounds here on XDA.

Are you curious why space on your phone is using up so quickly? Do you want to know what this "Reserved space and other content" actually mean?

Just want to share an application I developed using Heathcliff74's WP7 Root SDK. It can help to show some light on the mystery "Reserved and Other" space shown in Zune desktop.

What it does:

This application will scan your phone and tell you how many space it takes for each category of files and each folder.

Categories including:

1. Music, Video and Picture.

The real space it takes. Including downloaded content and content not managed by Zune.

2. Applications

Know how much space each application you installed has taken, including their install file and their data file.

Space used by each folder on the phone is also listed.

Known issues:

1. Files and some Folders in root folder are not enumulated. I did not find a way to enum the root folder using Root SDK yet. So I have do perform a manul list of folders I think should be located at the root folder.

It is still in early stage. I even did not add the about page yet. It is pretty useful even at this stage. We can also start many interesting discussions from the data revealed. I want to share it anyway.

System Requirement: Any system that supports WP7 Root Tools!

Help needed: Anyone can suggest an icon and spash screen image for this tool?

A big thank to Heathcliff74 for the Root SDK!

So by far best phone on sprint is the et4g. Seeing sprint is turning to lte will the et4g be compatible to lte?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] UndeadNexus:
Nope, the Epic Touch won't support LTE. It only supports WiMAX.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
No, and Sprint's turning off WiMax (what the E4GT, Evo, Evo 3D, Photon, and all Sprint 4G phones) use around 2015. I hate thinking about it but by then we'll be on to the SGS5.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jefe1:
E4GT LTE Rumor

I was just at a CORPORATE Sprint store getting my poor OG Epic repaired. While I was waiting, I asked about the Galaxy Nexus. I was told that the EPIC 4G TOUCH needed a firmware update, and it could then be used on the new LTE network by a Sprint salesperson in the store. Sounds official to me!!

J.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peanut1596:
I have asked a few of the sales reps and customer service people about this. They say that it is not going to be able to use the LTE service, and that it would need new hardware. And if I'm not mistaken, The wimax service that we currently use is from another company that sprint is with. So i'm not real sure how this will play out, but it is definitely not going to be able to use the LTE service.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Note to you.....you are gullible....the hardware will not even sniff a lte signal.....thus would be like saying with a firmware upgrade your dvd player will play bluray..... The first CPU that Samsung has that can handle lte is the one going in the galaxy 3 ....that is why every galaxy 2 that had lte was omap or snapdragon....the CPU in our phone is incompatible
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jefe1:
Get off my ass dude... What about Samsung's Droid Charge. There, your credibility is already shot!

Anyway, apparently there is an inactive 800 Mhz radio in the E4GT. Rumor has it is that is the way it can be accomplished. It remains to be seen, but remember the Motorola Xoom? Same principle I guess...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
A) The Droid Charge doesn't have an Exynos processor in it like the Galaxy S II

B) The Exynos does NOT do LTE, which is why the Skyrocket and AT&T Galaxy Note have Snapdragon S3s in them, not Exynos.

C) He's right. You're not going to magically get LTE with a WiMax radio or even the built in CDMA radio. It doesn't matter if LTE is going to be transmitted on that frequency; the phone's modem won't understand what LTE is.

D) The Xoom actually had it's original radio REPLACED by Motorola, in addition to a software update. You had to send your Xoom to Motorola for them to physically open it up and add/replace the LTE radio.

E) It requires a SIM card, which the E4GT doesn't have a slot for.

Done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
IRead and understand that 800 mhz radio is cdma like the evo 3d for voice and 3g that is it ...when they decommission the iden frequencies they may put voice on the frequencies but there its no chance of lte on this phone .....none .... go read the other 4 threads already about this ....

And i will not lump all sprint employees in the same boat but 95 %	of sprint employees are legally brain dead..... Just a joke ... But they know nothing about phones or the network...you will get the correct info here way before a sprint employee.... But some regional managers and such actually have some info but salesmen etc at stores even customer service have no clue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
I was a technician in a Sprint store and I agree with the bolded statement 100%.

And you're right about no chance of LTE on any current Sprint phone.

The Photon has an LTE modem installed, it will be able to work on the lte setup. You lose, research before you speak.
