Is material view available in free version ? If so, I have not find any difference between now and previous one.
[Android Apps and Games] Jeeko:
Save image it's already working,

it's a bit more complicated with videos btw

Sure, if you haven't tried the new app you can find the free .apk in the 1st post, Play Store maybe has some delay but it's all normal ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Dhiraj:
I have just updated from play store with version no 2.1 material. But no difference. I am on 4.4.4.
[Android Apps and Games] Dhiraj:
What I got after update. Is this normal??
[Android Apps and Games] Darktitor:
[MENTION=5122018]Jeeko[/MENTION] you're doing a great job!

I love this app so far quick and simple to use.

I can help you to translate it to French if you want :)
[Android Apps and Games] Dhiraj:
Could you pl. upload a screen shot. I think I am not getting material view.
[Android Apps and Games] Jeeko:
What?! It's what I've been looking for 2-3 days :laugh::laugh:

Send me an email (lorenzo_air@live.it) and I'll send the

strings!

Many thanks

Well, it's all normal.

Maybe your screen doesn't let you enjoy all the shadow I put on,

anyway it's ok doensn't matter (next updates will improve the UI) ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Dhiraj:
I am using other apps which support material view and I am enjoying those. Try to improve your apps ui . Anyway thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Darktitor:

[Android Apps and Games] Jeeko:
Hi,

Stay tuned! :)

The best browser I have ever seen! Doesn't lagg even on low-end phones (on my Galaxy Trend Plus, even stock Android browser can lagg sometimes). Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] Technecium:
Need Korean translation?
[Android Apps and Games] PodGom:
Nice

what a nice browser. perfect when I have no memory on my ship :)
[Android Apps and Games] GXGOW:
Great browser, even for the little more powerful smartphones around here.

I only have one little request: could you add an option to add a bookmark to the homescreen please? That's the only thing I'm missing.
[Android Apps and Games] Jeeko:
Many thanks, anyway another users it's doing Korean translation.

Thanks again :)

Uhmm, you can add a bookmark simply 1) pressing the menu button and then 2) click on "Add bookmark", it's

isn't very long :p

Anyway I'll try a new way (maybe with a new gesture) :D
[Android Apps and Games] Jeeko:
• Update 2.3 is coming this hours

- Pro version now has a

fully working

Now Browser engine, now it also remains checked when you select it

- Both version was compiled with API20 (Android4.4) so you shouldn't have more problems with bookmarks or other crashes

- Pro version has text reflow enabled by default merged with Now Browser engine, so you don't have to select it

- Free version has better cache management, now it saves only the most visited websites (when you visit a single website more

than 5 times the cache will save it)

:cowboy:

P.S. If you guys will support me in good ways I'll definitely start working on a Desktop version! :p
[Android Apps and Games] issawillwin:
Fastest browser i found. Better than CM11 Browser. I keep it.
[Android Apps and Games] adamsuail:
Love it but the full screen mode doesn't hide the status bar..would it be possible to do that?
[Android Apps and Games] mgolder:
Pretty sure there is an option to hide status bar isn't there? A separate option to the full screen mode.
[Android Apps and Games] kadopt:
Yes, it's in advanced settings.

Is there any ui improvement?
[Android Apps and Games] adamsuail:
Yes in deed, I was too blind to see it.

Now browser is now my default browser until I decide to go pro.

However, on the tablet since tabs are nicely hidden, it won't hurt to make them bigger and add home and bookmarks buttons.

Thanks for the great work.
[Android Apps and Games] mgolder:
UI is fine, it is exactly as described by the dev.
[Android Apps and Games] mithundperfect:
It removed all my 3rd party browsers..thnx dev.
[Android Apps and Games] Dhiraj:
V2.3 no improvement in ui. Same ui , without material view for my moto.
[Android Apps and Games] Jeeko:
Exactly :) it's necessary to reboot the app before getting

the hide effect btw

Dude, doesn't matter news are coming also for you ;)

these two days was very impegnative for me, I'm trying to killer coding

as fast as possible, so stay tuned
[Android Apps and Games] dandrumheller:
Updated to 2,3 pro version. Attempting to open bookmarks still causes the browser to FC.
[Android Apps and Games] Jeeko:
You're still disponible? :)

My previous translator doesn't reply to me since 2 days

- Update 2.4 with bookmark fix, keep attention! ;)

I've spread to my tester the new 2.4 apk and they have said

that now it's all ok.

Keep attention if you are on a CUSTO ROM then the problem

still remain, but isn't my bad or an app problem, so I would

friendly ask you to don't report crashes if you're on a custom rom

Thanks to all guys!

:cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] shubu000:
Hi jeeko, i tweeted at you, but anyway is it possible that if I open like a g+ link that the g+ app will open? Rather than going to the mobile site?

Also is it possible to create a desktop shortcut for a bookmark?

Thanks, I found the app today and bought the pro. Very impressed

Doesn't matter, I'll try to fix that on other roms too ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Technecium:
Just to be clear. A few hours ago I posted in here, and also emailed you.

You replied to me, here on XDA, that someone else was doing it. But you also emailed me the xml files.

I can do it if you still need me to. It is Sunday night and getting late where I live. I also have to work tomorrow.

I will have to go through the xml with the UI open so everything is contextually correct. It might take about 24 hours to complete.

Let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] Jeeko:
Sure doesn't matter,

keep the time you need man

let me know :)

[Android Apps and Games] Alpejohn:
Hi,

Tried the browser today, looks nice. :)

But how come it (and google chrome browser plus others) cant handle fold down menues?

I really miss that.. Also english in the description/changelog in google play would be nice. :) And the "use as desktop" option could have been easyer to reach, i use that often. I like the way uts been done in chrome, easy to change between them. :)

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Android Apps and Games] Jeeko:
Thanks, very useful tips.

Anyway the PlayStore description is already in english :) try with this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.browser.nowpro&hl=en

EDIT: I've now switched english to default language
[Android Apps and Games] djimne:
Large apk

Now this is good, I tried another app here which was a good browser but it was slower, unlike this one, which is very functional and also has very sleek design. However the size of the file is still a little large for my tastes, any way to get this down?
[Android Apps and Games] ktetreault14:
[MENTION=5122018]Jeeko[/MENTION] would it be possible to add a SAVE LINK option when you long press a link.
[Android Apps and Games] GXGOW:
I think you understood me wrong. I meant adding a shortcut of a bookmark to the homescreen, like you can in the stock browser.
[Android Apps and Games] mgolder:
171k file is 'a little large for your tastes'? Is that a joke?

Opera Mini - 1.0mb

Text reflow doesn't seem to work for me, I'm used to ucc and opera - I'm guessing this option is supposed to be similar?
[Android Apps and Games] itouchables:
Awesome bro!!!!

Only request is to add support for Kitkat translucency
[Android Apps and Games] fr3quency:
Hello and thanks for a new app. I don't mean to offense or anything, but this is clearly not Material Design. You should make the "create a new tab page button ( the +)" as a circle on top of everything and it should dissapear when scrolling down. Calling it material design is misleading.

This is material design: https://www.google.com/search?q=qks...a=X&ei=87rCU_2BB6riywPnsYDQDg&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAw

Also, a google search for "android material design" will show everyone the differences between actual material design and this one. Again, I don't mean to offense; on the other hand, I'd like you to make a truly materialish designed Browser.
[Android Apps and Games] Jeeko:
I'm working on it man, doesn't matter. No API was released to our developer to make the original material design,

anyway I'm working to emulate this on the better way possible :)
[Android Apps and Games] coolnikhil:
awesome browser... looking forward to see this kind of implementation in full fledged stock browsers... :D
[Android Apps and Games] Wakamatsu:
Nice browser. One thing I'd like to see is better bookmark management (eg. ability to edit URL, sort, subfolders)
[Android Apps and Games] silentvisitor:
Seriously? Is that 160kb?

Downloading right now. Already amazed.
[Android Apps and Games] redhotiron2004:
As long as it's working in 160kb limit and renders the web pages correctly with no loss in functionality. I really don't care about themeing and all those bloatware.

[MENTION=5122018]Jeeko[/MENTION]

Excellent work!

Already purchased the pro version.

I have one small issue. The refresh icon, when running, is distorted and disproportionate if I compared with the "stopped" refresh icon.

I would suggest you to improve the "plus" icon tab.

Other than these, excellent work! By far the best non Google/stock browser I had tried.
[Android Apps and Games] Jeeko:
Thanks for the tip,

stay tuned for next releases :)
[Android Apps and Games] comzone:
Hello .. Firstly i really appreciate with browser u made. I like it and love the user interface. But i wanna ask. I tried to do the test for this browser. And i got this score. And its lower than the result of urs on playstore. I wanna ask does the result also depends on the internet speed? Anyway i still face the same issue.. The browser isnot working so fast with me :(
[Android Apps and Games] GXGOW:
I think it's probably a problem related to your device. Did you have any other apps running in the background?
[Android Apps and Games] mgolder:
Yeah I got this on my phone - (though the site thinks I am on a Nexus 4 when I am on a G2, that is underclocked and rooted and all that stuff on 4.4.2)
[Android Apps and Games] itouchables:
BTW that's not a benchmarking site for performance.... It simply tests how many of the html 5 features, tags, apis are available.... You could run this test with a lot of programs in the background and still get the same result.... Maybe you don't have the latest update of this app or the custom rom/o. S. you are using has an outdated rendering engine (remember this browser uses the stock engine in order to keep it small... This

is only a front-end....)
[Android Apps and Games] Gallardo994:
Bugs here, bugs there... Force closes everywhere. And word wrap doesn't work on KitKat. Strange browser.
[Android Apps and Games] mgolder:
You mean strange in your experience. Not had a single force close or really seen anyone else say it force closes everywhere. A blanket statement like 'strange browser' could give people the wrong impression despite the vast majority having nothing like those issues. Not being nasty or anything, just a little care with wording of comments makes a big difference.
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
There was a lot of force closes, just read previous posts but latest version seems more stable.

[Android Apps and Games] Gallardo994:

[Android Apps and Games] Wakamatsu:
Hmm...
[Android Apps and Games] mgolder:
Most likely a problem with something else and not the browser. Loaded fine in a barely a couple of seconds.
[Android Apps and Games] webdroidmt:
Slick and lightweight browser, nice OP. :good:

As others have already mentioned, bookmarks still force closing even on latest V 2.4. We have 3 devices, I use N7 grouper running Stock 4.4.4 and Android L preview port, I also use a Nook HD+ running Carbon rom 4.2. On these 2 devices, there are no force closes on bookmarks.

However, my wife has a Galaxy Tab 2 running Carbon and PA 4.4.4 roms, bookmarks force closes on both of these roms. This is a nice browser for her to quickly navigate the internet but the bookmarks crashing is more than a minor issue, especially since I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible for her. :laugh:

I appreciate your work on this so far, so hopefully you'll be able to solve this issue.

Keep up the good work,

Mike T

[Android Apps and Games] dandrumheller:
Yeah, the guy that sorted rooting the current stock sent me the link when he did it. Someday I'll bother, but my vtab got replaced with an asus tf101, so it sits in a drawer. Too little time to work on current stuff, so I haven't messed with it.

Sorry for the continued OT, OP.

Hi dev, can we have the option to switch tabs using gestures and clear history upon exit please. Thanks. :)
[Android Apps and Games] mynote@xda:
Hey, I just installed this great app. Speed is top!

Crashes always with bookmarks.

Also I wish an import from Dolphin bookmarks.

Keep on working on this great browser!

Another wish is, on closing last tab not to close app. I would prefer to go to bookmark-tab or if possible to quick-dial app, like start-tab from dolphin.

Managing from bookmarks in folders would be very great!
[Android Apps and Games] darknessy:
Can we have an option below "Enable flash" for "Enable javascript"

and an option for "Disable history" as well

Incognito isnt suitable because i dont want history, but want cookies
[Android Apps and Games] anthonycr:
JavaScript superfast mode = Enable JavaScript (Dev has not truthfully named this option) and it is default enabled in the browser.

Despite "JavaScript Superfast mode" (enable javascript) being a "Pro" feature, it's actually available in the free version. Just tap the list item and it internally toggles the setting, the checkbox just isn't visible to the user... Try it, tap "JavaScript Super fast Mode" go try to load a JavaScript page and see that JavaScript is off. Then tap it again and go to said page and see that it turns on.

BTW, this same trick applies to the other options... Particularly "Web File Compressor" which basically just enables/disables image loading (at least on free version, not sure about pro version but I'm assuming it's the same since their file sizes are identical).

I also suspect that the new "Now Engine" only available in Pro is fake due to the identical (very small) byte sizes of the pro and free apk binaries... I will be investigating further.

[MENTION=5122018]Jeeko[/MENTION], it's cool that you're 14 and coding. Kudos to you for wanting to learn something, you're farther along than I was at your age... But that doesn't mean you have the right to trick people by mis-labelling these settings and mis-promoting your browser as Material when any designer (including myself) would say it is not.

Just some words of advice: tricking people isn't worth the fake internet points. [emoji6]
[Android Apps and Games] henriyulianto:
[MENTION=5122018]Jeeko[/MENTION], still no go with the updates. Now Browser 2.3 still force closes on my phone (Mediatek MT6572; stock rooted 4.2.2).

But finally I've found a solution. It seems that Now Browser need the ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permission on my phone. So I insert android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE into the perms subnode in Now Browser node in /data/system/packages.xml, and reboot afterward. And now, Now Browser is working without FC. My thought, this error/bug was the same one when I installed Lightning Browser, which FCing all the time.

Thanks

Absolutely agree. But [MENTION=5122018]Jeeko[/MENTION], just take this positively. Keep developing and inventing (but not tricking).
[Android Apps and Games] Jeeko:
Thanks for the suggestion,

actually gestures are meant for "back - forward" browsing action but

I'll let you know ;)

Another great tip,

this will require a new activity so let's hope

that the app won't be greater than the normal!

Hi Anthony,

first of all as we already know this browser has concepts of lighting, so a lightweight apk size, good

settings and a bit other. Now I'm trying to do my best to make my app the most different possible from

the original project and this is why I've started to design a material similar interface for this app (now any official and fully working

sdk were released so for now I'm trying to do some artistic works).

Anyway I'm looking for users comments, tips, criticism and all sort of comments that will help me to develop this

app so doesn't matter for the future, I'll surely follow what you've said :)

Really thanks for your feedback, today

I'll try to fix this problem :cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] NexusGTS:

Oh thanks for ur explanation. Ya i do have custom rom on my phone. But i dont really now the rendering engine is outdate or not. Actually i dont know about that. Do you have any suggestion? How can i speed up my internet? Thanks a lot in advance

[Android Apps and Games] Jsilver73:
[MENTION=5122018]Jeeko[/MENTION] will you be fixing the text wrapping feature? That's probably the most important thing to me, that and speed and light weight of course ;)

[Android Apps and Games] Altair681:
Hey,

first of all, I really really like your Browser :) but am I the only one to think that the gestures are the wrong way round? I mean it'd just feel better for me to switch them :P @Jeeko Maybe you could make an option to switch them?

cheers

[MENTION=5122018]Jeeko[/MENTION]: Really nice job, this browser. I've been using Dolphin for a long time and tried out several alternatives in between, but none could satisfy me. So I always returned to Dolphin. But this one has a good chance, to get a replacement for Dolphin.

Nevertheless I would like to make some suggestions for more improvement:

long pressing a link and choosing open in new tab opens the tab in background. I guess, it should open in foreground.

when starting a download I miss a choice, where to save the download (just like in Dolphin Browser). Personally, I find this very comfortable.

sorting bookmarks (alphapetical or manual or whatever)

maybe more, I will let you know.
[Android Apps and Games] Jeeko:
Well thanks for your tips,

some of your list points are already implemented, but in different ways so I'm not sure I'll change the

structure in future.

For the rest there are very good ideas :good:
[Android Apps and Games] derkleinebroicher:
If you mean choosing the path for downloads, it's a bit different in Dolphin. Every time I start a download there, I can choose, whether to use the standard option (which is the download folder) or to choose a custom path. But in the end, this option is nice, but won't be decisive for me. If I got you right, you want to keep your browser small and fast, so I guess you have to choose carefully, what is important and usefull and what is not.
[Android Apps and Games] anthonycr:
Do you still get this error when using Lightning? I added the ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permission some time ago, but I'm wondering if you just haven't used Lightning in a while and you are just remembering the error or if the error still persists to this day. PM me if you have any more helpful information, I haven't seen any crash-reports in the Dev Console for some time like this.
[Android Apps and Games] NexusGTS:
Not like this...like the last pic. In the last pic is the stok cm browser in full screen mod and the status bar is gone
[Android Apps and Games] Jeeko:
Well, you can combine these two options.

B) Most of the bookmarks have tiny icon from which I have no idea what it could be.

C) 90% of the bookmarks don't have the title of the bookmark. How do I know which page it is? ?

D) I wanted to delete the bookmarks but am not able to find them. How to delete bookmarks in a bulk?
