Hi

First of all, if you want a 'complete' ROM - stay on stock, or better yet, buy an iphone. XDA is for developers to put their concurrent customized best so far work, nothing complete.

OMG sometimes even TV OUT doesn't work..

Second, opening the one milionth thread about 'which ROM is better' will always get the same lifecycle : first there will be a yes and no, then there will be some it's a personal preference posts, then some hassling and shouting and a locked thread. So as I see it this thread already exists in multiple ways and is completely redundant. And I do agree that ranking personal volunteer ROMs is an insult - I always follow the most popular ones, apparently it's good enough for a lot of people, so it should be good enough for me.

And there are a few legendary developers for whom you know you're getting a sweet candy either way.

Past Firefox has sucked hardcore, but now, wow. Its smooth, no chopping zooming out either, it reminds me of the stock galaxy s2 with the bounce effect.

Try it out. Tell me I am wrong :D

What browser is smoother in your opinion
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
I'll give it a try, thanks :)
[Galaxy S III General] Havoc2k:
using FF brower since 4-6 weeks, in my eyes one of the best.

at my pc i am usig FF to, no sync feature as well.

Seems very slow at loading pages and text is shown very blurry. I've yet to find a better browser than SGS3 stock browser.

Downloading
[Galaxy S III General] SiggiJarl:
I think it's amazing except for one major flaw which causes me not to use it.

The address bar doesn't scroll away when your scroll down webpages, it takes up too much of the screen real-estate.
[Galaxy S III General] soraxd:
lol hit THANKS if you're against puppy abuse
[Galaxy S III General] irish-sid:
Try ics+ browser then. Stock browser but the quick controls are fantastic.

Dolphin is good in writing, but too unreliable. Tabs didn't load a lot of the time it didn't even show up at all. Had to keep changing the current from desktop to phone just so i could post messages on different sites....the list goes on.
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
Any way to back up the bookmarks like Dolphin? I installed it when the stock browser was fc-ing on bookmarks and found the import/export feature makes life easier.
[Galaxy S III General] lawtq:
People should really give boat browser a chance. Very good speedy browser! :good:
[Galaxy S III General] budisuharto:
completely agree with boat browser. I don't understand, why is it so low profile, I have tried other popular ones like Opera, Dolphin (& mini), stock, etc, but Boat seems to be the best of the lot
[Galaxy S III General] binYaqoob:
I think dolphin browser hd is really good along with stock s3 browser.
[Galaxy S III General] SyCoREAPER:
Chrome browser all the way. Faster than dolphin, opera and stock.
[Galaxy S III General] jetbruceli:
I use chrome because I am all Google and signing in allows me to save bookmarks easier. I might try this and see how well it mashes with flash. I can not stand the stock browser for some reason.

Anyways the only thanks I am giving is to the one who presented us with the new version being out. Thanks OP!

By the way flash is still available for us

For Firefox and Chrome, try loading engadget's desktop site. While loading, try scrolling down. You will see a lot blank white and takes sometime for it to load. Stock loads much faster.

The problem with Boat Browser, Chrome, Dolphin and Stock Browser is DOWNLOAD all use DownloadProviderUI.apk (Media) and cant download files from everywhere.

Firefox and Opera are the best both have internal download.

Opera is the best for me. Just love the layout, speed and overall ease of use.

Recently installed Maxton and it's nice and quick with a good layout.

I wish there was common folder for all your bookmarks. That way you could use different browsers.

[Galaxy S III General] AKK9:
Been using this browser for the day and I don't find it as smooth as Chrome or stock browser. The scrolling on FF feels very different to general scrolling on the phone, it seems to be more sensitive and has less "friction". Had some minor issues with some sites and some random crashing too. Not great so far.

I prefer stock browser over others but I like how Chrome syncs all tabs and history from my PC and laptop so i use that occasionally. The quick menu on stock browser is a huge winner IMO, it makes browsing ridiculously fast compared to all others.

Firefox does not render xda pages correctly. I just tried it.
[Galaxy S III General] vNa5h:
Tried everything

Stock is the best . Period.

Opera mini - while on 3g to save data
[Galaxy S III General] budisuharto:
Stock doesn't do text reflow though. And I typically browse multi tabs, and stock's process of changing the tab is inefficient for me (requiring 3 touches)
[Galaxy S III General] bilboa1:
i like dolphin firefox and stock.

the stock browser loads fast, and is fast. simple, lacking some features, but, it works very well. i must say its pretty damn good.

dolphin loads a bit slowly but then, its pretty good. uses the same rendering lib as the stock browser so its as fast once its loaded, but with more features.

firefox loads faster than dolphin, does not lack features, albeit its a tad slower than dolphin & stock depending on the release (somehow they were using similar acceleration as the stock browser and was just as fast, then they seem to have reverted it, albeit its still a lot faster than chrome). I use it with the UA set to desktop as else sites often send a dumbed down site version that half works. all sites seem to work perfect in "desktop mode". Since firefox has the exact same rendering engine as on the desktop, that probably helps.

opera mini used to be my favorite, but it just didnt get on the proper gpu acceleration bandwagon apparently.

finally google chrome is pretty disappointing. its slow in all regards right now..
[Galaxy S III General] MiG123:
nothing beats aosp jellybean stock browser. navigating around using quick controls and unrivaled butter makes it feel like an extension of my own body...

features wise it has all that I need except for a comprehensive download manager, which i rectify with 3rd party apps like fasterdownloads.
[Galaxy S III General] jhericurls:
The Stock browser is the best with "Quick ICS Browser".

Tabs switching only requires one click if you enable quick controls.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jp1986:
Hi,

All of a sudden my HTC Desire Z switched off yesterday and I tried rebooting it, but it just hangs at the white screen with the green HTC logo. This kept happening continuously, so I took the battery out and left it out for a while, I then put it back in and turned the phone back on using the hard reset and the boot menu appeared.

When I chose the recovery mode, the phone rebooted and displayed a phone image with a green sign and then a couple of seconds later it displayed a phone image with a red triangle. The phone then switched off after a few seconds. This kept happening every time I tried.I then tried the factory reset option and after doing this the phone went into factory reset mode with the grey/white animated stripey completion bar, but then it froze and stopped animating for a few minutes and then started to animate again but then the phone turned off. This kept happening every time I tried.

Also what is strange is that my phone only charges after I have left the battery out for a while and put it back in. I even left my phone on charge overnight. The red light appeared showing that the phone is charging, but in the morning when I woke up the light had disappeared, but it should've been green to show that charging was complete. I have ordered a new battery as I think this could be the problem. If it is the battery, do you think my phone will have got damaged? My phone is not rooted.

Thanks in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazdarati2:
ah a bootloop. did you change anything in the system?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jp1986:
Hi, I haven't done anything to the system. When I plug my USB adapter into the phone and into the PC, HBOOT changes to HBOOT USB PLUG at the HBOOT menu and when I go into recovery mode, it tries to mount some files which fails and it tries to clear data as well.

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command

E: Can't mount /data/data/recovery/log

E: Can't open /data/data/recovery/log

E: set_bootloader_message_block : emmc_read_data fail!

Is there any file that I can put on my SD card to reinstall android, in the same way that you would reinstall the operating system on a PC? In the recovery mode option, there is an option to select 'Apply update from sd card'.

Thanks,
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazdarati2:
i could only think of a factory reset. there is a way to do a hard reset and restore eveything, search for it if you can
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
You are showing all the signs of a fried emmc, being you are not rooted and have a locked bootloader there is little you will be able to do aside from trying to warranty it. You could attempt flashing the latest ruu via a pc10.img through bootloader but your chances are slim

Log on to freenode #g2root (just google it) here you can get real time help
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrandMstrBud:
Were you ever able to get this fixed? Since I can't get into ADB because the device won't boot not sure what I can do. I have download the stock .zip file and it fails also.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob232149:
If its under warranty then its probably best to send it back.

If it stuck in bootloop, it could be the ROM

tho without root, i dont think it is possible to reflash a ROM or the ROM
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrandMstrBud:
Not sure if it's under warranty or not I'd probably have to call HTC. It does have S-OFF and the CID shows 11111111 but I can't flash any type of recovery or stock recovery. I can get as far as putting the one shipped ROM file rename it it PC10IMG.zip and it asks to start the update but won't go past the bootloader it just stays at "updating".

Stock recovery and the phone was never rooted in the past at least that I know of but it is stock recovery for sure.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
not being ever rooted, having stock recovery and spl means you are probably sol even if it isn't a fried emmc. you can try the latest ruu (found on htc.com) but I'm thinking your out of luck. if you want to keep trying log onto #g2root on freenode
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrandMstrBud:
I can't seem to find the stock RUU. I have found the Rom.zip files but they fail with signature verification. I'll keep looking today unless someone knows off hand where to get the RUU
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
I don't think you will be able to downgrade to stock, the latest update should be avalible on their website, this want an ota unless you already flashed it from their site this may be your best chance. an older ruu will fail and give an error like "radio is older than current" or something.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrandMstrBud:

This happend to me as well 2 days ago, was updating the rom and after that, won't boot anymore. I've tried to re-flash it a couple of times with different roms, but no luck... It just hangs at the boot screen of the phone. I can access hboot and clockwork recovery, but that ain't of any help really. Tried the "Fix Permissions" from clockwork recovery but that doesn't help.

Any other ideas I could try, or at least verify the fried emmc?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
this ^
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zimeon:
Finally got my ass doing this, and got the following information out:

So in other words, this would indicate that the emmc chip is ok. Source for that.

Could it be that i'm missing something from the SD card?

Going to try and flash some other rom, ill report later again.

EDIT: Fixed

Seems that switching back and forth from 2 roms seemded to work. Switching between different revisions of a same rom didn't work. Interesting but now it works, might as well give this other rom a chance while i'm at it :)

Ubisoft has released Prince of Persia Classic for Android and it's

Xperia Play optimized

.

It's a remake of the original game releases many years ago in computer.

Paid version ($3,08US)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ubisoft.premium.POPClassic

Free version (Actually I didn't play too much to know the diferences with the paided version:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ubisoft.freemium.POPClassic

The bad, the game is installed in the internal memory using 54mb and can't be moved to the SD for now!!!!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DiKeJ:
Actually, like I said in another thread made today about PoP - it's very good but can't hide buttons. And what you're talking about problem with installing on SD card? I've made it on my ROM without any problems.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DiKeJ:
Read my post in ozzmanj1's thread. It's working with D-Pads but not fully made for Play - for example buttons still visible and no icon in Play Launcher.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ParanormalBat:
He means, you can't install the game on SD Card, only internal memory. I guess that's in the paid version though.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] shocito:
The game downloaded 173mb of data, I think maybe some files has been installed in SD and 54mb in the internal memory.

Because of this I've uninstalled the game for less memory space. :(

About the controls:

The X button is jump, circle is exit, square is crouch...

You have on-screen buttons visible too? Like me?
