Looking great and running smoother then ever!!

One suggestion: can you bring back the dark theme?

Also, in Settings > Advanced under Network it should be "block network load" not "block network loard"... somehow a R slipped in there, lol. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Thanks, I will change the string directly :)

Do you mean the second dark theme? I've removed one, because I've found 2 similar dark themes not usefull :D
[Android Apps and Games] NDR_man:
Also could you turn up the scrolling friction a tad, I find it too fast, thanks
[Android Apps and Games] NeoZiggy:
I didn't see an option to use a dark theme at all in UI settings.

I like Material Black or Material Darker.
[Android Apps and Games] AviralOmar:
Log for the titlebar crash.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Here :)

Thank you very much! Hopefully it helps me to find the issue :)
[Android Apps and Games] fhLan:
Did you release any beta/alpha?
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Yes yesterday, look at the last one or two pages :D It's for finding some issues, there will come some more betas in the next days :D
[Android Apps and Games] NeoZiggy:
Sorry I wasn't pressing "Theme".

I do not see the accent button. It used to pop up when scrolling.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Selecting text force closes? :/ Oh that's strange. Mhm don't know why, on my device it works. Which Android version / rom are you running?
[Android Apps and Games] NDR_man:
Works fine for me too, probably on his side
[Android Apps and Games] NeoZiggy:
I edited because that only happened once. I don't see the accent button though.

ZTE zMax Pro (z981), Android 6.0, Stock unrooted. My DPI is changed (using ADB) from the default if that would make a difference? I don't have any UI issues with the phone though.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Do you mean this button? It's removed in the beta until I've found a better tab manager :)
[Android Apps and Games] julio66:
Looks really nice....but then I say "looks" because unfortunately that's all I can do on 4 different phones. It crashes as soon as the google page is loaded on 3 of them, and on the 4th one I can open another page but also crashes when trying to scroll the page.

This happens on;

Samsung Galaxy S6 Android 6

Alcatel Idol 3 Android 5.01

Zte V6 Android 6

Blu Studio C Android 5
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Thanks, I'm currently preparing a new test version, which I will share this evening. The crash issue is deep in one of the extracted libraries.
[Android Apps and Games] Valgonargo:
thank youuuuuuuuu

It crashes for me when I use aosp webview on 7.1.1 HTC one m9 RR, but it works fine when I use chrome canary webview
[Android Apps and Games] Osh1:
Page load slow down

I downloaded the new Base beta but find that using Netguard firewall with hosts file added slows Base loading of some web pages down by as much as 30/45 seconds,

This problem doesn't appear in slimperience pro and pages load fine,if i disable Netguard pages load at normal times,

[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Hey, here is a new beta for the (toolbar) crash issue. Please tell me if it works for you ;)

When this works, I can fix the other issues and add the last missing features :)

Do this happen every time or just on a few websites? The browsing engine (WebView) and it's loarding behavior is the same, so there should be no differences.
[Android Apps and Games] Osh1:
Happens every time on certain websites,bbc news and the register are a couple,sky news website loads fine%
[Android Apps and Games] AviralOmar:
I shall redescribe the issue. The app crashes not when the titlebar is hidden but when it tries to reappear. I tried androidpit.com and I was able to scroll down but when I tried to scroll up, the app crashed. I attached a log but it is only for the homepage i.e. Google.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Thanks very much for the log! Seems like I need to flash an old rom on my device to try it at home. I hoped it would be an issue with one value in attributes (which was not set), but it seems to be deeper in the ported libs. I know how to workaround this issue (just with disabling the elevation attribute), but that would remove the shadow beyond the toolbar :/

Sometimes Android sucks :D
[Android Apps and Games] AviralOmar:
So true!:silly:
[Android Apps and Games] julio66:
The same issues for me my friend....the app closes (crashes) whenever i try to do something with the opened webpage...as for example with the google page there is a small popup at the bottom of the screen asking you to install the Google app, but if i try to click "No, thanks" it crashes. With any other page it happens when i try to scroll down the page.

With this beta I only checked with Android 5 and 5.01. Hopefully you figure it out... ;)

Keep up the EXCELLENT work.

Looking forward to being able to try it out
[Android Apps and Games] Sr. Zé Alguém:
Good work, still looks like very much the same as current stable... Looking forward to new builds. Below, some already known things I confirm:

- Crash in scroll down

- White icons on white background

- Unclickable configuration items

- Do both X and Exit buttons so the same (quit)?

- Will you add more features to Bookmark manager (eg. folders, reorder, edit, export)?

- Imo, it is important to have some way to export/import settings and bookmarks.
[Android Apps and Games] NeoZiggy:
Yes. LOL! I thought it was just me!
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
The X button closes all tabs and exits the app, whereas the exit button closes the app but stores the current session so it can be recreated when the app opens again.

The bookmarks database is already prepared for more, only the dialog is not created to edit folder names and others :)
[Android Apps and Games] D4rkV0iD:
I think the FAB button with the tab manager would be optional. I like it and the tab management is comfortable with this.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
It will but maybe with other functions. First all the other features need to work until I re-add the action button :)

Here is a new beta. This time I've replaced the extracted support library features by the latest ones from Android 7.1.1 support library. I've googled a lot to find out why the toolbar crashes when elevation is set and on stackoverflow I've found a lot of people who had issues and crashes with one of the support libraries too... and this one was the one which I've used before (from API 23) :eek:

Now with the latest support library the crash should be fixed. If not I will remove the elevation.

So I need no logcat anymore, but please tell me (again), if this one works :)

For those who got a crash after the page has finished loading, please try to reset the app (clean its cache etc.). This might be a database error from previous databases.

Best regards and thanks for your support,

Sascha
[Android Apps and Games] Flyingboy:
Hello, great beta! Thanks a lot for the new features : the fullscreen and wipe between tabs work great.

It seems that the adblocker is not functional. Is it normal? For example, it remains a lot of ads in www.bebasket.fr for example.
[Android Apps and Games] Osh1:
The adblocker seems to work fine with me,tried the site

mentioned by flyingboy and no ads,sadly the glitch with netguard is still present though,

Great work so far though Sascha.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Thanks :) The AdBlocker is not activated yet, until I want to test the other browsing behavior first. Maybe tomorrow I can get it working with some of the new blockers for phishing, malware, etc.

Last time I implemented it with an array adapter, this time I want to create a cursor, which should be a loooot faster (because it's for big lists).
[Android Apps and Games] Osh1:
Don't know if this any help sascha but if I turn on "request desktop version" the problem websites load fine with netguard on, it seems the slow load only appears when loading "mobile friendly sites"

Sorry flyingboy forgot netcguard blocks my ads, :silly:

Back to the drawing board, pages loaded because net guard had crashed because of another app
[Android Apps and Games] Sr. Zé Alguém:
Not crashing on scroll anymore :)

Btw, the orb of the 'pull down to reload' slides down from the top of the screen instead of from the bottom of the toolbar.
[Android Apps and Games] julio66:
My friend SaschaHa...I AM MIGHTY IMPRESSED!!!!!

This will DEFINITELY become my favorite browser (and only). I have now tried with 3 phones, then with Android 5, 5.01, and 6, and the FC with slide down IS GONE. I had one FC on the Android 5.01 when trying to log in to my Google account, but when entering again I succeeded second time.

I suppose the download function is not activated yet, because I couldn't download anything so I guess this is the reason no??

The fluidness with the browsing, swithing tabs, open drawers IS JUST IMPRESSIVE.

Now it will be worse to wait for the finished product ;)
[Android Apps and Games] dragonballz:
Hello, I have not been here for a long time.

The beta version does not work on android 4.4.4 ?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] AviralOmar:
No, it does not and nor will the stable version, I guess. Please do read the previous few pages before asking.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Thank you very much :) The next beta is work in progress, I will post it this night. Have a nice day / evening ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Flyingboy:
Strange behavior : when you have 5 tabs open and you open a link in background, the first tab opened appears.

I continue the beta test.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Thanks, just tried it. Is an issue, I will fix it for the upcoming beta.
[Android Apps and Games] primaleph:
Noticed two things so far with the latest beta:

Swiftkey flow doesn't work

I can't seem to download files, even after giving the app all possible permissions

Are these known issues?
[Android Apps and Games] Sr. Zé Alguém:
For people that missed:
[Android Apps and Games] Shyciii:
I use Slimperience Browser, and very satisfied, but I have one problem (version 1.2.3). I set Hide toolbar, but not remembered, when I reopen the browser. And I found two Hide toolbar options, and all else is doing:

1. options section: Hide option toolbar, but browser toolbar doesnt

2. swipe left: hide toolbar in browser

This chaotic.
[Android Apps and Games] Sr. Zé Alguém:
Hi, the author is not working on version 1.2.3 anymore.

He is rewriting the entire app, new version should come soon (in some months? lol).

We need to wait it come out for testing against new bugs.
[Android Apps and Games] zoel.fahmi:
Too many options and settings, my advice is to organize it as group of settings, and please change settings items to icons (at least we can change it). You can also adapt the interface to be more user friendly like UCBrowser and Opera did. Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
New test version coming in some hours. With this version downloads are working and the theme methods analyse the brightness of website theme colors to set the optimal text and foreground color.
[Android Apps and Games] AviralOmar:
This button does nothing when I press it, what is it?:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] dieccast39:
Omg i just found this browser it works awesome thank you

How to sync bookmarks from chrome? Is it possible?
[Android Apps and Games] zoel.fahmi:
Can you add auto pager feature, really useful when you're on forum.

Zoel.fahmi

Lenovo A6000+ CM 12.1
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
What is auto pager?

Not possible :/ Google sync is only for Chrome and Chrome based browsers. Other developers are not allowed to use it.
[Android Apps and Games] zoel.fahmi:
Auto pager is a feature that's preloaded the next page automatically. Really useful on forums like xda
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
New beta is up :)

Fixed:

- downloads are working now

- the theme manager is more intelligent, so the optimal color for each view is set. If a background is dark, only light colors are set for the foreground, if a background is light, the forground will be dark
[Android Apps and Games] AviralOmar:
[MENTION=1255308]SaschaHa[/MENTION] why does the button on the top right do nothing??
[Android Apps and Games] Osh1:
Hi sascha,

Just downloaded the new beta,looks good,

The problem I mentioned in other posts that makes certain websites hang when netguard hosts file is on before loading seems down to JavaScript,If I disable javascript the web pages will load although the page load bar does stop at 70% for a bit,the setting "javascript can open windows automatically" can be enabled and doesn't make a difference,has anything changed in the way javascript is implemented either by webview or the beta?
[Android Apps and Games] julio66:
Tried the new beta on Android 5.01, works nice.

There are some pages that doesn't work 100%, if you check out this example just for seeing what;

https://darksky.net/forecast/19.9296,-88.8607/si12/en

(The sliders for the hours of the clima does not work)

Except for things like this...AN AMAZING BROWSER EXPERIENCE !!

And off course I know you have thousands of things more important than this, but if I might come with an suggestion for adding the third most used Material color to your Themes, BlueGray (#607D8B) it would become PERFECT also there ;)

Keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Javascript is used to get the html from the WebView. The WebView itself does not contain any method for the user to get the html, so there is the need to use javascript. In this case it's used to extract the theme color and some other tags from the webpage.

'Javascript can open windows automatically' does work but there are only a few websites using it.

Sliders are used with gestures, so I think it currently get's overrided by the ViewPager gestures. This is known and I try to find a better viewpager to handly this :)

Material bluegrey currently is integrated as theme color, but nit as primary or accent color. Will follow soon, when the advanced color chooser is integrated.

Because it's a beta and some of the icons are lot linked yet.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Good news, the scrolling behavior now is finally working like in Google Chrome :) Before it was another method, now it works the same way. I will fix and add some more features, then the next beta is ready.
[Android Apps and Games] AviralOmar:
Oh, OK. I thought it was not working on just my device. What is its planned use?:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Sr. Zé Alguém:
I read some topics saying it is possible up to Lollipop, but since Marshmallow no one knows how. Therefore, users of 5.x can still benefit.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...anges-in-android-6-0-api-23/33335488#33335488

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19826500/android-api-getting-browser-bookmarks-history

I bet it does the same it did on stable v1.2.3: open right panel.
[Android Apps and Games] julio66:
I am MIGHTY impressed how fast and good you implement reported errors.....

YOU ARE JUST THE BEST!
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Will link it today. The final release is when all issues are solved and it is fully stable :)

Thanks, happy to hear that :)

Thanks for the link, I will look at it later this day ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Andrea_K:
Very nice - thanks
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
I tried to add this a lot of times but I got issues with the Observable scrollview in combination with the WebView. This will be added when I found the mistake.

Sometimes the easiest things are becoming hard when there are the smallest issues :D
[Android Apps and Games] linecorpinc:
Like App!

WOW,very fast and awesome looking browser with great features,till now i only miss a loading bar.great work,thanx.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Thanks :)

Loading bar is on top as you see in this screenshot :) It has been introduced with an update.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Using the beta feature or the tabs in the right drawer?

Would be possible, but I will add this later. When creating new layouts it eats a lot of memory, so I need to do this programatically with a setting.
[Android Apps and Games] Drhedphuk:
Really liking this browser and looking forward to seeing where further development takes it. Thank you for a great, lightweight browser.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Here is a new update :) I could solve the most of the issues now, so the next release might be with some new features :fingers-crossed:

Update 1.0.4

(2016-05-20)

PlayStore

To do next
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Could someone with an Android 4.4 rom or below post a screenshot of Slimperience here (where the status bar is visible on top)? On emulator there might be an issue with the statusbar, so I need to see if it's just in emulator or on real devices too ;) the next update is going to be released tomorrow :)
[Android Apps and Games] beemgee:
Screenshot from 4.4.4 attached
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Thank you very much! As I see, there is the same issue too (the toolbar is stretched so there is a small gap between the statusbar and the toolbar). I will fix that for the next update :)
[Android Apps and Games] ivifly:
Hi, a question. I dont use the google store. Could you upload the app somewhere?

Thanks for understanding!

Lg ivi
[Android Apps and Games] murlidhar85:
could you put an option to hide toolbar by default cuz i have to set it everytime i start the browser. i prefer hiding the toolbar all the time unless it is needed.
[Android Apps and Games] whiteze:
Very impressive, thanks
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Hey, yes I will upload the next version here on XDA :) It should be ready this night (in around 10 hours).
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
I can add a setting to hide the toolbar by default :) I'm also thinking about the toolbar management.. maybe it could be useful to add the toolbar into the right navigation draver (optional).
[Android Apps and Games] nacos:
Text reflow

Please consider adding text reflow. I'm still puzzled by the fact that not all mobile browsers can natively support text reflow. I can't understand how some users find it OK to keep scrolling left and right?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] imakul8:
On a similiar note, the user agent is not mobile. It's default, whatever that is..so I think it loads some pages wide. Please make Android option. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Maybe try to disable 'Use wide viewport' in settings. The user agent is set automatically by the device, but I will add some custom user agents for settings soon.
[Android Apps and Games] minimale_ldz:
I generally use Naked Browser, you can close tabs by simply tapping them. No X icons, no nothing, no bloat. I like it that way, it's coherent with small size and simpilicity philosophy of that browser.

EDIT: I would also have a little request to post a direct download link for those who don't use Play Store. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] GerManiac:
Very cool, excellent browser and couldn't believe my eyes BIELEFELD, my hometown. :D

Any chance to also move the address bar to the bottom?

Thanks for this great browser.
[Android Apps and Games] NDR_man:
Btw Sascha, is it possible to implement swiping down from toolbar to refresh rather than swiping in the page, I find that sometimes when I scroll up it refreshes the page when I don't want it to, swiping down from toolbar fixes this. You can see this implemented in another browser called Cornobrowser
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Possible yes, but not comfortable. I try to modify the SwipeRefreshLayout (which is currently used for this) and the nested scroll within webpages first to make this swipe gesture more accurate :)

Edit: Issue is fixed now :)
[Android Apps and Games] Osh1:
The programmer of Netguard sent me this message,

It seems the browser you are using is not correctly responding to "NXDOMAIN" (Non-Existent Domain), which NetGuard sends when a domain is blocked by being listed in the hosts file
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Ok thanks. I need to override even more methods from WebChromeClient I think. The basic methods in Android are not powerfull and might not handle this without new methods. I'm just looking into some libs, which are used in v1.2.3. Maybe I can fix it soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Osh1:
Sorry,didn't want to cause you more work,thanks for trying though,
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
No problem, I want to fix all issues and to give you all a good browsing experience. So I'm always happy to learn anything new :)
[Android Apps and Games] Flyingboy:
Thanks for your kindness and your work.
[Android Apps and Games] primaleph:
I'm using the latest beta, and opening links from Swipe for Facebook isn't currently working.

The Slimperience beta app opens, but the link never loads. It stays on the page it was already on, even if I go back to Swipe and tap the link again.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Please try this one :)

Changes

- file upload fixed

- intents fixed

- fixed "go back" and "go forward" icon colors

- new Chrome like scrolling behavior

- linked 3 dots icon to open the right drawer

- a lot of internal changes
[Android Apps and Games] primaleph:
Yep, working beautifully now. Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Great, thanks for testing :) The WebView should be fine now. No more known issues :) So it's on the best way to get to get to a final stage soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Sr. Zé Alguém:
It seems this build can't start properly here...

It starts with a blank WebView screen (black or white background according to the theme) and a tap anywhere will cause a FC crash.
[Android Apps and Games] AviralOmar:
This build is not working on Android 5.0 [MENTION=1255308]SaschaHa[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] AviralOmar:
Log if you need it.
[Android Apps and Games] adl:
I am on Android 6 and also got the force closing of the app as mentioned above.

Gesendet von meinem SM-G935F mit Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Oops I'm sorry, I've got a compiling error and uploaded the false build. This one should do the trick.
[Android Apps and Games] AviralOmar:
Its working now. Idk if you can call it a bug but when I pressed that close tab button with only 1 tab open, the app force closed.
[Android Apps and Games] Sr. Zé Alguém:
Here the same.

How do you take these logs? Is root required? What app?
[Android Apps and Games] CLPose:
Hi, [MENTION=1255308]SaschaHa[/MENTION]! I really like your browser and I'm very impressed by your dedication. :good: And as much as I like your bowser, there's something weird I've mentioned some time ago: the time the app takes to be "ready" to make a search. I've noticed that your browser loads something whenever you open it (which seems to be logic since it is a web browser :p). But some browsers give you the possibility to load an "About:blank" page (or something similar), so that app loads nothing, but the app itself (Lightening browser and UltimateBrowserProject are two good open-source examples). With the possibility to use the address bar as a search bar, it makes no sense to load "www.google.com" as a home page for instance, if you can just type your search in the address bar and set "Google" as the browser default search engine. Is my idea clear enough? :confused: Would be possible to load just the app without actually loading any webpage? Anyway, I still consider your browser as one of the best! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] AviralOmar:
alogcat is the app you want. Search Google for instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] SaschaHa:
Thanks :) Yes it's a requested feature to create a start page, where last opened sites or bookmarks will be shown. It's not ready yet, but it's coming :)

I will fix it today. I recommend MatLog for logs :)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pluscubed.matlog
[Android Apps and Games] Sr. Zé Alguém:
Ok, these logcat apps requires root for grabbing app-specific logs.
