NEW VERSION in the Google Play Store: 1.0 build 20

CHANGE LOG

fixed recently introduced back/forward navigation skipping on some sites related to .nbhosts.txt blocking; blocking efficiency/functionality also improved

new option: set double tap action

new options: set bottom of screen gestures (removed swipe up for menus checkbox)

new gesture actions: show main menus, show URL & keyboard

gesture improvements/adjustments:

two finger swipe works better with zoom

help prevent unintended selection/click during double tap gestures

"toast" messages display for some gesture actions, like close tab

small gesture size changes: tab close, scroll page, double taps, etc.

"page top" action also shows top menu if gesture started at top of screen

small speed optimization when accessing gesture options

better handling of FTP and file links

possible fix: swipe tab close method could leave no tabs open on older devices

possible fix: unable to type into text fields, newer Android versions

Gestures are the main focus of the update, but resource blocking has been improved and seems to work very well now. For more information on setting up blocking see this post and the help page.

:good::good::good: Thank you XDA Developers for your help and support! Special thanks to XDA member nimrodity for all his help testing the new gestures.

Google, fix Adobe Flash support in Android Webview!

Please "star" this issue on Google's bug site to vote for it:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58608 (must be logged in to Google to star it)

Depending on the version, Dolphin and Opera may not be using the WebView on your device. Do you experience the lag in WebView-based browsers like Zirco and Tint?

The latest update should work better with double tap actions/gestures.

1. Naked Browser uses your system colors. By default, Android uses a different colored border and/or background so that the progress bar is distinguishable no matter what the underlying color.

2. Why is it hard to use/not so functional? Use the device menu button to show the menus. The latest update has more gesture options.

Very nice! Thank you! This is a also a good introduction to the new gesture options.

Yet again: I saw your Play Store review about this, I got your email about it, and now you post here. Your carrier pigeon showed up--very good with some potatoes.

Browser has resumed from cache since first release. Instant back, private browsing, and much more on to do list but no estimates for when/if anything may be released.

It looks like you are doing tap + swipe, which triggers default WebView behavior instead of gesture.

Don't want to jump the gun, but the typing bug finally seems fixed. It was driving me crazy lately, to the point I was thinking of switching browsers. It gets pretty tiring having to close your browser every time you wanna enter something new in a text box...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] android404:
Great update. The gestures work much better now and I too haven't experienced the typing bug yet. (had it while writing this reply.)

One request: i would like to be able to go "home" with a gesture. Home is were my shortcuts are, it's by far my most used button. We can set a "new tab gesture" and I think we need a "home gesture".

I'm getting out of pigeons so I guess you'll be starving for a little while :p.

My comment on the GPlay is for other users too (the ones that are not subscribed to this thread), a way to explain why I do not give this a 5stars rating. This one is very minimalist and fast, main reason why I'm liking it :good:.

But I miss "instant-back" and "incognito-mode" that is available in other browsers.

I have not found a single browser implementing "reload-from-cache" so I guess this is hard to implement.

You seem to be a very good developer, I have hopes you could come to a solution.

Understood my mistake abt double-tap gesture. I was mimicking Google Maps zooming gesture, which was wrong. Thanks you for explanation.

Thank you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MBurns2:
mate, i tried to surf with zinco on the same heavy forum and i haven't any lag, instead tint browser lag as naked.

Maybe i'm doing something wrong with naked ? i'm tried to unistall and reinstall naked but my problem is still there..

tell me if I can do something..

thanks for your hard work and thanks for support.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] aminaked:
Regarding not being able to type sometimes, are you using the GMD GestureControl app or anything like it? Someone emailed me and said that it was causing the problem.

"Go home" is actually in the code but commented out. If anyone has ideas for other "actions", let me know and hopefully they can be added.

The app description lists the features. If you wanted instant back and incognito mode, you should not have purchased the app. I offered you a refund multiple times over email and you rejected it. Now I will do it in public: please uninstall the app and take a refund.

Naked Browser has used cache to reload and resume since first released. Almost all Android browsers do this.

Since the scrolling lag is in Tint too, my guess is that WebView on your device is the problem. I do not know why Zirco would differ as it uses the same WebView component. Perhaps some setting (JavaScript, user agent, etc.) differs.

Which device and Android version are you using?

Do Naked and Tint scrolling only lag on the one forum or on other web pages too? Would you provide the link to the forum or other laggy pages? PM me if you prefer.

Regarding the "can't type bug": FINA f'ing LY! Naked browser actually became less and less usable for me. After uninstalling LMT it works properly.

Regarding the "go home gesture" being commented out: somebody should comment it in again immediately ;) "Home" is an essential button. I really tried to, but i can't see a reason why it shouldn't get a gesture.

It's like I have to rate 5 start or uninstall, this doesn' make sens.

You're offering me a refund in public and so what ? :D I told you already that I like this browser a lot and am using it as my default.

When I need incognito mode, I just use another browser. But NB-Pro is and remains my daily driver when it comes to browsing, whay would I get refund when I love the Browser ?

Even it's NOT PERFECT, it's a superbe browser, as simple as that ... If my cars satisfies me at 80% and I have some little things I would have liked, I'm not going back to the seller and ask a refund when I enjoy most of it !

You put a lot of effort into this and I still consider the purchase worth it, I told you that already too so why insisting on refunding me ?

Well I'm keeping the browser and don't care if you implement incognito, reload from cache or instant back. Those are suggestion to try to make NB-Pro even better.

Just ignore and don't implement if you don't want to, I'll continue using the browser as long as it satisfies me ..

Is this site totally flash? I get no pictures showing up at all on my Nexus 7:

http://www.havertys.com/Product_51754
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dawabz94:
For what it's worth, this what I have on my Note 2 (had to click "FullSite")
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] polobunny:
No it's not flash but heavy javascripting (lightbox). Those often don't work right on mobile.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tcat007:
I do get the main page picture, but any link just gives a picture placeholder for me. Try the product link I posted. I do have Adfree installed, maybe that's blocking any pictures since they don't appear to be flash.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tutakanemm:
this browser is faster than fast:fingers-crossed: WOW!!! so cool, i dont care bout eyecandy too, would definately win auctions on this speed:D:D:D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dawabz94:
This is what I have on my note 2 (attached full screen and "with adress bar" screenshots)

I see no placeholder -missed something ?

Tried to disable AddFree ?

I own an N7/3G running stock rooted 4.3 but it's at home so can't test right now, will try later ..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tcat007:
Yes, froze Adfree, no luck. Also tried Chrome, AOSP, UC, and Maxthon browser, same blue squares and question marks, so it's not Naked. Don't really want to reload Firefox, too dang big (and slow). Don't think I'd buy furniture with a mobile device, but it'd be nice to show pictures when out and about.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] polobunny:
Works fine on Galaxy S3 too. Do you have javascript disabled? Or images? To disable Adfree, don't freeze it, just go in the app and disable it from there (Revert button) since it uses hosts file to block, freezing it won't restore your hosts file.

Also make sure you don't have any hosts file blocking from within Naked Browser.

That's all I can think of.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nimrodity:
Why even use adfree in the first place, I'd recommend adaway
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] polobunny:
Both have a similar function. I use Adaway myself, but used Adfree without issue before.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tcat007:
That was it! I restored rather than froze, and now all the photos are visible. I'd have never guessed. Thanks so much, bye bye adfree.

Edit: adaway works great, no issues.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] polobunny:
Cheers!

It depends which lists you have in Adfree. The software itself does nothing more than Adaway, it all depends on the blocklists. I know in Adaway you can set manually which ones you want, I don't recall for Adfree. :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dawabz94:
Good to hear !

Nice you found it , had not tested on my N7 yet

See the N7 is as smart as the Note 2 :)

Have a nive day :)

what engine does this browser use, the phone's built in browser engine, but is presented on a naked interface? thanks!

it uses the webkit engine, the same as the stock aosp browser
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] milchmaennchen:
Hey aminaked,

what is next on your To-Do-List? I still have difficulties getting my finger on my bookmarks. Is it somehow possible to add some thumbnails for bookmarks?

And also I use PA for my Nexus 7 and was wondering if there is the option to always keep the menu on the bottom (full screen on PA an hence no easy access for the menu.

Keep the work up.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nimrodity:
why not just use any of the gestures to bring up the menu?

Personally I don´t want any menu button visible all the time, as long as it will be optional I am okay with it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] milchmaennchen:
Yes. Forgot about gestures! Thx
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] aminaked:
It should still be disabled if you had it off before updating. To turn it off with the latest version set options > Gestures and actions > Double tap & left > none. Do the same for Double tap & right.

I do not have lag when I test those sites on my devices. Do you see the lag in other WebView-based browsers like Zirco and Tint?

Next release will include the "go home" action :good:

Do you mean adding an option to the bookmark long press menu: "open in new tab"? If so, that is on the to do list.

More menu options are on the to do list. For devices with no menu button (or a hidden menu button), I actually have to release a separate APK. It is a bit of a pain so I am hesitant. Also, very few people have asked for this and I do not have a device to test it.

Favicon option is on the to do list. At the top of the to do list is always "customer service", so reading and answering posts here and elsewhere, lots of email, and Play Store reviews. That's a boring answer, right? Next on the to do list right now is testing the upcoming release, especially making sure that there are no weird consequences to setting the theme of the main app activity to "Holo".

Canada purchase

Hello,

I'm interested in buying the pro version, but I'm just wondering why it's 3 times more expensive, adjusting for exchange rates, in the Canadian Google play store. Is this a mistake or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bengadget:
Is anyone getting page reloads when pressing the back button?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] aminaked:
I raised the rate by 3 times in a few countries, including Canada, due to low ratings. I only want people who really want the browser to get it so this is my way to try to make that happen.

Do you mean that A) the same page reloads over and over, or B) when you go to the previous page it reloads the page? If A, can you give an example? Are you using .nbhosts.txt to block resources? If B, WebView handles caching so even though it looks as if the page is loading, it may just be loading from cache.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mbdw:
OK, thanks for the response. I guess it's not available for purchase outside of Google play, correct? I'm sure you can imagine why I might feel weird about paying thrice as much for the app just because past users in my country gave it poor reviews.

Thanks again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bengadget:
It's like if I'm looking at a list of movies on boxofficemojo.com, and I click one, for example, The Butler, to find more information, when I click the back button, which should take me back to the list of movies, I, instead, get a page reload of the Butler page. I'm using Adaway if that means anything.

I'm also experiencing a bug where the keyboard stops working. Doesn't matter if it's SwiftKey or the default. It normally happens after manually placing the cursor somewhere else.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] polobunny:
The issue is with Adaway. It's simple to fix, go in Adaway settings and enable Webserver and make sure it starts at boot. Voilà. ;) Then you only need to press back once to go back.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bengadget:
Thanks, I'll give that a shot.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] android404:
I had the same bug til aminaked asked if I had gmd gesture launcher installed. I hadn't but i uninstalled lmt launcher and haven't had the problem since.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] eejee:
I was the one that set aminaked on the GMD track because the keyboard issue disappeared after having uninstalled it. It returned however when I switched to Android 4.3. (first cm, now slim bean). Now I understand why: they both have pie controls which I actually use. When I switch off the pie controls now, the keyboard issue has gone. So it seems that on some devices (like my Galaxy tab 2) the keyboard issue occurs when using some kind of touch overlay, like pie/lmt or gmd. This is independent of the Android version: I've used a lot of different roms, both stock and AOSP based.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] polobunny:
Interesting find. I'll look into my config to see if I have any sort of touch overlay or similar going on.

NEW VERSION in the Google Play Store: 1.0 build 22

reduced double tap & swipe gesture sensitivity to help prevent accidental actions (thanks XDA member nimrodity for testing)

cookie whitelist works with more (all?) web sites now

better fullscreen video handling, newer Android versions. Let me know if you experience any issues.

new bottom menu "stop history" button toggles private/stealth browsing mode; long press to clear some history *1*

new gesture action: go home page

speed optimizations to app launch, page load, etc. *2*

more "Holo" themed components, newer Android versions only

small adjustment to URL bar history search result precedence

added more special key event handling (forward, reload, etc.), newer Android versions only *3*

clearing history for a server now uses top level domain instead of subdomain

bug fix: options text describing bookmarks import had listed an incorrect data file format

fixed a recently introduced odd/rare crash

possible fix to typing issues happening for some people *4*

slightly less transparent links sidebar color

*1* Pretty much just stops visited URLs from being added to history. Cookies, cache, passwords, and form data are still retained according to your preferences. My initial intention was to implement all of this but the Android WebView component used by Naked Browser makes the cookie handling very difficult. So, I decided that something is better than nothing. Besides, I feel that stopping the history from being collected is the main idea. Long pressing the button also provides a way to quickly and selectively clear history.

*2* Many fairly small speed optimizations were made and, put all together, they might be barely noticeable to you. It seems a bit faster to me.

*3* If you have a keyboard with a "navigate forward" button, let me know if it works now.

*4* Let me know if you see any difference when typing into web pages. The changes should not have made things worse for anyone.

Thank you XDA Developers for the feedback and support! Please keep it coming!:good::good::good:

(Build 21, which was available for about an hour, had a bug which could cause a crash on launch.)

I lowered the Canada price to match the rest of the world. It will soon be going up again for a handful of countries though.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] eejee:
Regrettably the typing issue is still there.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] cukierkas:
Hello Amy. Thanks for update. Glad to see you still on the wave:)

Never version, you mean 4.x+?

Returned to gb, just because jelly bean webkit doesn't work as it used on gb plus battery life, ram usage...:)

Browser is light, fast and easy yo use. Some observations. Its crashes on heavy sites when opening link directly. Thinking, that is happening just for heavy sites, when ram is loaded with flash, lots of pictures. These cases are rare, but anyway that's happening. For example my fave, with 4 or 5 tabs loaded. http://banga.balsas.lt/lt/2club.welcome/461-=(1972301451

By the way, talking about cm10 (4.1 jb) . Tab button still doesn't works as it should be. And there are some text boxes, with can't be edited. Need to refresh the website just to edit. And, f. e, when pressing it to edit, cursor jumps to front of the text, do need to go to with arrows to end of a text, delete it. And even sometimes the text doesn't deleted all, only some characters. At this case, I need to jump to another text place and afterward jump back to end of the text again to delete all the rest :)

Hope, you getting the idea.

Regards, happy user.

Thanks for that. I actually noticed the price change yesterday and bought it immediately. And I'll be sure to leave a review to help compensate for those tasteless Canadians who had been ruining it for the rest of us!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] baxtex:
Don't know if it is a missing feature or just me not understanding correctly.

But my browser never kills the tabs, I can have up to 45 tabs "open"(they are not open, but cached or something, if i press the tab the browser starts to load the page) But I have set the tab Caching to 6 and I haven't checked "Remeber tabs on exit".
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] polobunny:
I think you're confusing the options.

Do you exit the browser? If you press home key, then it doesn't exit the browser. Press menu, then exit from there.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] baxtex:
I know, I've tried both, even reebooting the phone keeps the tabs.

NEW VERSION in the Google Play Store: 1.0 build 23

CHANGE LOG

start page history includes quick links to site home pages

fixed odd/rare app launch bug

small app launch and page load speed optimizations

better handling of some popups

Thank you for the feedback and support XDA Developers! More to come! :good::good::good:

Thank you for trying it. I am working with a few people including you, eejee, trying to figure it out.

Do these things happen in other WebView-based browsers like Zirco or Tint?

Thank you very much for the positive review! :good::)

App does not know you want tabs closed unless you close them. Caching threshold is for caching, not closing. Bottom menu "exit" (X) button exits. This all works the same as in the free version.

Reboot crashes app, triggering crash restore on next launch. Free version has this feature too.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] cukierkas:
Hello again. Thanks for hearing the users, best support ever saw :)

Another thought. Is it possible to make a selection from selection list easier? What I mean? Just look to my situation, i have got text field with text selection, where data difference is one or more symbols. Iwhen I enter the beggining of data field, selection list appears. I hit the field I need, text box fills with data, but selection list doesn't disappears, I need to hit empty space in website to hide the selection list. In that case I'm hitting by mistake another link, and off course browser goes to link selected. Is it possible to hide selection list automatically when selection is made? In that case everybody would be happy - text field would be filled, selection list is hidden automatically after selection, no other unnecessary ticking wouldn't be made. You can easily simulate my situation with simple HTML site with couple text boxes included.

I mostly using the browser with work related stuff, other browsing workflow is just fine.

One more thank-you for lovely holo theme. I really adore it.

Hi. I got another feature request. I don't know if its possible or if i maybe am the only one who wants it, but here it goes: an option to make scrolling faster.

Thanks for fulfilling my last wish, the gesture to go home. One of my most used gestures.
