Not bad!

[MENTION=6748624]balzathor[/MENTION] : Hello. I'm using your browser since yesterday and i like it, especially that use less ram.

I have some suggestions:

1) What you say about an option which let us to save an page for offline reading?

2) For me, the menu which pop up when i press menu key it's annoying and i have an 4inch screen or i didn't get used to it yet. I would like to see it just like in aosp broswer, where it come from the bottom and "Settings" menu of the browsers should be included in the menu which pop up by pressing menu key. Or make possible to swipe from left to right and this menu appear.

3) An option which let us to choose the place where to download something.

4) Like other users said, i wish an option to turn off "open in background" as well.

5) An option which allow us to place an shortcut to homescreen.

It's my own opinion, however, i would like to see these :D

And i think i found an possible bug. When i want to relayout, i can't, it's practically impossible. I have 3 pages on home screen and when i want to change the place of one , the other ones keep moving in left and right ( there isn't even space for them) and this happen with lag. When i keep my phone in landscape mode, this doesn't happen. My screen size is 4 inch and 480x800 resolution.

Overall, it's an nice browser, light and yet useful. :)
[Android Apps and Games] happyrainbow:
Thanks!.... nice job... I will try it soon
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Hello,

You can save any page for offline reading. When you're on a page, hit the menu button and click "Save As". This will save the page for offline reading as HTML File in your SD Card.

Generally, there's many people who want me to include stuff like swipe to go to settings, swipe to go back and forward. But these depend from person to person. I'll think about adding option to let user choose what swipe will do, but for now its put aside.

The option to allow user to download into a user generated location would be fun, I'll work on it.

For the bug you're talking about, I can't visualize it, can you post a video so I can understand what you're talking about.

Thanks for your valuable suggestions.

Regards.

Hi,

Just downloaded your app to test. When I tried to download a file on Android File Host it wouldn't start, it took me to the page and said file is starting but nothing started to download. No issues using chrome to download the same file. Am I being thick and missing something obvious?
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Can you try it again and report? It should be working.

I have tried out This File, which worked fine for me.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Sorry for replying late, this browser uses AdBlocking through Hosts File which can be found here.

It basically is like an EasyList, the way it functions and all, but there's some difference that you might have to see in order to understand. An AdBlock EasyList can be found here.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Koller11:
indeed! but wraping text doesnt work :(
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Text Wrapping works just fine, can you post a screenshot where it doesn't work? And if it doesn't, can you Disable and then Re-Enable "Text Reflow" in application settings and try again?

Regards.

I'll have to take a look, have you tried disabling and then re-enabling and then trying?

Thanks for reporting.

Rendering

Another thing : I nothiced that the top rendering speed of webpages was on 1.4.4 version.

(Obviously on my smartphone)
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
I don't think so newer versions would affect rendering speed, there were no changes made to that part of the application.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] firephoenixctk:
Just tried it again today and it worked, previously I never got the question asking if it wanted to download or not today I did... Thanks for your help.

Great work

Hey there!

Really great work here but i'm just wondering if there are any other browsers that allows the use of flash, it'd be great if you can integrate into the browser!

Thanks for your good work!
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Great to hear that it works for you :)

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Uhh, I'll try to, can't speak of that at this moment, I'll take that as an improvement feature though. Thanks for the suggestion :)

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] #Henkate:
I took an video using an screen recording app. I will upload it later.

I found another small bug, but very annoying for me. Sometimes after i search something on google, i long press on an link ( from google search results) to open it in a new tab and it open, but is searching that link on google..

I have more suggestions:

1) Like other people said, i wish an option to turn off "open in background" as well.

2) An option which allow us to place an shortcut to homescreen.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
I'll take a look at all of it. Thanks for your suggestions :)

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
About this bug, I've tried it on many devices and have failed to reproduce it. Does it happen on some specific websites or is it for all of them?

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] #Henkate:
I think all of them. It happened also to xda. But it doesn't happen always. I'm on 4.4.2 kitkat AOSP (unnoficial) if that matter.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Custom ROM won't matter though, I've tried it on ALL types of devices in the supported API range, and I've not seen that bug even once. Can you try that thing on some different device and report again?

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] #Henkate:
Unfortunately, i dont have more devices :D

Anyway, here is the video with the problem which i told you first time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOJ6MEqhn1o&feature=youtu.be . Note that the lag in video is from screen recording app.

Read again what i told you first time and then watch the video:
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
Great work on the clean app layout.

Something that I came across:

Restore open tabs on Quit(menu overflow) or crash

App has not crashed yet, but if I have open tabs and quit, the tabs are not restored on next run. It could be a simple list mechanism,

( a simple workaround would be save no. of tabs open then iterate over the URLs, maybe not best solution. Also, it should somehow handle tabs on crash, so maybe periodically updating list/counter)

Settings/Check for Updates

Takes you to google drive which is outdated, https://github.com/balzathor/UltimateBrowserProject/releases would be more useful link.

Scroll Bar, (when enabled)

Is it possible to have the scroll bar draggable when enabled, that way it is actually useful on long pages and not just a visual guide.

Also, is there a way to get the help page back, the one which appears on first run, I.E. about:help (currently forwards to google search)?

Keep up the good work
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Alright, so That bug is due to your screen size, basically the application thinks you are trying to move a website upwards, due to which, as a feature it moves to the side. But as your screensize is small, there is little to no space for it to move, that is why it keeps moving right-left considering it will find some space. I'll take a look into that, although in Moto G, the size of the pinned webpages are small, as regards with your pinned pages size. Thanks for reporting though. Anyways, have you changed your DPI to something else?

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Thanks for the suggestions.

Having the Restore feature would be neat, I'll do that soon. It was under consideration, though I never heard anyone wanting it.

GDrive links are not updated, will migrate to Github in the next version.

Scroll bar was meant to be just a guide, I will try to actually make it work.

Currently, to get the help page back, you can type 'file' and it would show a suggestion to the xml file. In the next version I will add the 'about:help' function to show up the help page, neat feature.

Thanks for your suggestions :)

How can I add link on Android home screen? Can I disable background load of webpages?

Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Linking to the homescreen is a new feature that has just been done with, and will be available in the next release. Disabling background loading is a bit tricky thing to do now, I don't think so *at least now*, that would be possible for me to do.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] #Henkate:
The DPI is 240, i didn't change it.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Alright, I'll still take a look at it :)

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
No problem.

Liking your app,

I was about to also recommend "ask before download" file but it is already implemented, which suprisingly is not default on many other browsers.

One other small thing, when long-clicking a link it would be great to see the url too,

currently:

Adding url in a neat and simpl way would be appreciated, (image below just an example, not ideal):

Looking forward to development

Side note:

A dark theme switch in settings would also be great, which renders the popup background(i.e. when long clicking link as image above) and settings background dark.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
I was rather thinking about adding the page title to the options screen, as you can just see the url and do nothing with it so basically its a waste of space. A title would make it neater. EDIT: And also help user to know which page the options menu was opened on.

Yeah dark theme would be sweet too. Thanks :)

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
Not exactly sure what you mean.

But my thoughts are as this example: This is a link.

As of now, if you long click the link above you have no idea where it would take you.

But, if you show url then you would.

Page title can be deceiving, i.e. fake title, and you have to fetch forward to get it( look ahead) which might cause some lag whereas the url is already there all you have to do is display it.

Just my thoughts

Keep doing what you are doing ~ "Reason: I do what I want "

So far heading in the right direction
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Yeah I get that. I'll do that soon, but there's some good features coming up.

P.S. that edit line was just for fun and did not have any relation with what I wrote above that. Now I know it sounds a bit rude. Sorry.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
But, you should do what you want.

After all you are putting the time and effort on this project.

And, you can never please everyone.

You have done a great job so far, so keep at it.

I actually support that.

If people are not happy with your ideas and work - thanks to you they can fork the project and do what they want.

Keep up the good work.

Looking forward to see what is to come.
[Android Apps and Games] Parideboy:
If this is the result of you doing what you want... Then please continue! ?

The only thing I miss in this browser is the sync with Mozilla (I use Firefox in pc).

thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Syncing is a bit difficult thing to do, I want to have that feature too, but will surely take some time to be done :)

[Android Apps and Games] Koller11:
yes
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
I will check it out where that happens, might have been registered on Crashlytics and I might have already solved it. :)

[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
I will find a fix for that then :)

Hello, Polish translator here again. I've checked new xml and it's a bit diffrent than 1.4.2. I'll probably give you new translation soon. Do you have any changelog for strings.xml? I don't feel like going through everything again :silly:

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Can't keep changelogs for strings, all I can say is there's many things that were added, also I'm not Polish in any means so I can't check if everything's right. I depend on other people and trust them on their words. Helping me again would be appreciated. Sorry for the problem caused, will keep a track on string changes :)

[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Would it be possible to have an option in settings to set an URL directly as home ? http:// address of a web site or file:// for a local page for instance.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Currently working on a different stuff for the Beta version coming up. Will possibly be added in the future beta builds :)

[Android Apps and Games] Noobsismyname:
Great

Hi guys,

i just wanted to thank you for working on this browser.

I really love it.

Good job! And thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Yep, Thanks! more to come later this week. :D

Team's working on it.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] notlek:
Here is a suggestion. Putting the request desktop option in one over flow menu. Instead of going into settings. Just easier to get to
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Will do, new Beta version coming today :D

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] bebolint98:
And In the newest version could you possible make to search suggestion is shown?
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
No, basically that is done by Google through their servers, like they take the data and check it through their keywords XML file (Possibly XML, not sure on file format but that's how it happens) and then show search suggestions, at this level, I can do that by taking the search data from UBP users, but that would be against the privacy standards so that's out of question for now. So its basically not happening, not until Google Hire me, or they release the API.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] d08speed3:
I vote new icon :)
[Android Apps and Games] meer_mortal:
I'm really liking your browser. Can you introduce a fast way to scroll to a top of a page. Maybe 2 finger swipe or scroll bar. I use Facebook through the browser as the app is bloated. But if I scroll down the page for a while then I gave to scroll all the way up again to get new feeds. So it would be handy of there was a quick way to scroll to the top of a webpage.

Keep up the good work.

EDIT.....

Sorry I found the feature in the menu. Awesome. Love the browser even more. ?
[Android Apps and Games] Eihthype:
Hi

Is there back and forward gesture possible like Safari? And fullscreen like CMBrowser?
[Android Apps and Games] giamgiammi:
I have a problem using this browser with my Sony Xperia tablet z (GP312). When I put a video on fullscreen the navigation bar doesn't hide and I can't control video (pause/play or fast forward). I include a screenshot of the navigation bar during a fullscreen video.

I hope you can fix this. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Well, if you can make a better one, I can consider it :)

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Well looks like you already found it yourself haha :)

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Back and forward gesture isn't there, yet. There will be a fullscreen mode in the upcoming beta. :)

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
I'll take a look at it right away :)

Thanks for reporting.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Eihthype:
Cool... Sounds good. ☺
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Yep the first beta will be up in an hour or so.

Disappearing urlbar when at bottom is annoying. Instead of having the workaround to move bar to top, can it be disabled so that it worked as before?

I kind of started to like having it at the bottom.

Some issues:

Url bar on bottom also has an affect on cropping the top of the page; I.e. when I open the attached image below on a new tab the top of the image is cropped, scrolling gets shifted down and you can not show the top of image anymore:

I get FCs: http://hastebin.com/raw/veloyimupo

A small nice addition would have an about section in settings with a changlog tab, currently changelog only appears on first run.

Also, I am having problems on opening the link in settings check for updates, I get:

But, no page loads!

Update:

They appear but without a tab placeholder, so you need to swipe to get to them.

Shouldn't they a have a tab opened? Bug?

After FCs when I reopened app tabs appear, so indeed a bug:
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Thanks for all the reports, we'll take a close look at it. Props for attaching the log :) :good:

[Android Apps and Games] L-ViZ:
can´t import bookmarks on latest version. it´s greyed out and i can´t select my bookmarks. the bookmark-file is created by chrome (html)
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
That shouldn't be happening? can you re-install and confirm that?

It works fine on all the devices that I have.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Should be fixed in the Beta.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] giamgiammi:
Unfortunately the problem remains also in beta. Maybe there is a conflict with my tablet. I don't know.

However it's a good browser and i'll continue to use it (except for videos ☺).
[Android Apps and Games] matraca:
Nice and fast but, no incognito browsing and inability to turn off crashalitycs or "send error to developer" makes it a big no no for me. Uninstaling, keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] L-ViZ:
got it working now. but had to use xplore, stock/internal filemanager didnt work.

at least it works :)

btw, thx for the browser. i really like it :)
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Can you try that on some other device, I think some Tablets do not allow hiding Navigation Bar due to Framework design. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
privateBrowsing got deprecated in API 17, as you can see in the link and I have no other way to add it to the application.

Also, the only data crashlytics uses is crash data, which helps me find bugs and then fix them, as most of the users do not report them. It proves to be useful to check out how many users face the crash on their devices, reporting severity of the bug based on crash priority.

I can do nothing to help, but may add an option for the user to enable/disable sending logs.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Stock filemanager works just fine for me, it opens up the "Documents" application which basically browses through your folders. Glad to hear that it works for you though :)

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Drhedphuk:
Great browser, apart from the fact that I seem to have to type everything twice. The first search gives me the 'Web page not available'

Also, I have to completely exit and re enter as search bar is not available when exiting a Web page.

Beta 1
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
I'll take a look into the double typing issue although I'm pretty sure that the second issue is your internet issue. Can you test that your wifi works? If you are rooted, open Terminal or download a Terminal application from Play Store and type - "ping -c4 www.google.com" obviously without the (" ")

And post the report here.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Drhedphuk:
Thank you for your reply. I will do that a little later and post report. Thank you once again.
[Android Apps and Games] L-ViZ:
i am now using this browser as my daily one. i really like that it´s an independent browser without any synchro stuff :)

it´s fast an clean without any bloat.

the only thing i´d like to see, is that you can open videos eg youtube videos in the app. besides this i really like it :)
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
You can do that in the First Beta version, you need to have the application installed and then it'll ask you whether you want to open it in the application itself.

Check this out guys someone rip-off UltimateBrowserProject. Its called Snap browser he even make a pro version of it. here is the link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.snapbrowser.lite

Pro version:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.snapbrowser.pro
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
Not certain, but I believe he can do that.

But he does not give credit to this project.

But, he can be reported for not providing source code nor credit

, due to GPL: http://opensource.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Yep, reported for not having the license. Thanks for reporting that to me.

Also, False allegations about "compressing" the data through servers. I'm pretty sure he doesn't even have servers.
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
As far as I know he is a crook, who was hoping that no one would notice.

For this is not the first time he did this. He ripped off lightening browser, too.

Then only after he gave him credit.

So, he knew he had to eventually release code, which is why he was well prepared.

I do not think XDA should allow him to be active in forums, as he keeps ripping open source projects, he has a fetish for browsers.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Check his profile, he has also ripped off Apollo music player under his name. Which seems fine until you notice its paid. I really don't know how he's allowed to do so, Gonna talk to a moderator about it.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] x000x:
if there was some way to shoehorn the data compression option into this i'd never look for another browser :P
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Data compression algorithm needs you to have servers running and try to connect to the server everytime instead of pinging the wesbite itself, idk how it is processed any further so it's still not in here. Everyone would love that feature though!

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] superleeds27:
I'm liking this! Will it eventually work its way into the play store?
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Of course it will, when there are sufficient features, less bugs and also when I am not broke, so that I can get a developer account. :D

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] x000x:
my mistake, for some reason I was thinking ultimate browser was based off chrome, and could magically use the google servers/routing for data compression as chrome does :o
[Android Apps and Games] matraca:
He also ripped off a lot of people with now browser and now browser extended program, he didn't gave credit to [MENTION=4544494]anthonycr[/MENTION] the lightning browser dev.

Jeeko ended pulling now browser from the play store or it got pulled who knows. He also has a flashable tweaks package that I don't remember what is called, I think it was a combination of crossbreeder with something else and supposed sound and screen enhancing something and it was causing issues. He just rips off other peoples work and claims it as his own. Personally, It would not surprise me if it has some sort of code or something to steal your info or some other nefarious thing
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Well, we may have it in the near future, maybe :)

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunderbottom:
Who cares, his thread now got closed, any more of that thing and he gets banned, according to the mods.
