Me too can't wait to share things...

In this update, I am focusing on internal optimization.

Most custom browsers just use the system download manager. It is good, but we miss the control & customization. So I built our own download manager. Most importantly without additional permissions. This is a break through art. This gives us more useful cool things like multi threading download boost, showing speed, time left, saving to any folder, etc. Now I am improving the download manager stability, speed, support to more complex links. Well, you know, there are lot of code for the download manager, it feel like making another main project/app. That's why it is taking time! :crying:

Things done:

* Redesigned context menu (Open link in private tab, foreground, background, external app)

* Support base64 image download

* Added few search suggestion providers & option to turn off suggestions

* Internal optimizations

Working on implementing user suggestions.

Also I am planning to add more cool things like overview mode & split view mode (It may take a while).:cool:

If we add swipe down search icon to refresh the page, will it cool? What you guys think ?
[Android Apps and Games] Gborg3:
A swipe down to refresh/reload page gesture shortcut can be fast, easy and useful. I am used to it from Chrome even though I do not have Chrome on either of my devices. It is too resource heavy while OH Web Browser runs great on even my 8 year old HP TouchPad running Evervolv N. This is my preferred browser on Android.
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
Implemented!

Done!:cool:
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
Swipe down gesture will break the idea for a quick one handed swipe.

For me it is not useful.

Are you also working on the main page with qicklinks?
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
Thought of complete redesign of home page, will start code it soon...
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
Not the page. Just swipe down the "Search Icon" on the bottom toolbar.
[Android Apps and Games] filnirv:

Alright, here is a pre alpha. Implemented some cool stuff, mostly internal. This has some unfinished things, but I can't wait to share with you guys. Backup your data & play with it. Let me know what you feel....

Thank you, I'm trying to download but XDA seems broken ...

Is it possible that the APK is broken? Downloaded it with OH after some trouble with XDA and also with Kiwi but the file is not installing...even if I delete OH from my phone

Would you like to get full list of premium features?
[Android Apps and Games] k3dar7:
"saved password" and "opened tabs" ;)
[Android Apps and Games] k3dar7:
i know is pre_alpha, but i see in settings new option "Open New Tabs in Foreground", and redesigned openlink popup... and question, you still have in plan add to popup icon for "not primary"? i mean, if i not enable "Open New Tabs in Foreground" then primary be OpenInBackground, in enable "Open New Tabs in Foreground" then primary be OpenInForeground, but will be nice have additional icon in openlink popup (as first on line with SearchTitle and Share) with non-primary OpenInBackground/Foreground?

edit: similar as you presented here (primary in Background on 1/main line, secondary in Foreground on 2/second_icon line)

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/oh-bro-one-handy-browser-fast-privacy-t3804525/post78582517
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
Premium features may change time to time... If you upgraded to pro, you don't have to think about it, but for now, simply which features are not working after 7days are the premium features! Got the idea?
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
Ya, I had the idea, I thought most of the time we open links in either of pattern.

Why other browsers put these two options is they don't have easy tab switching option. But we have nice gesture, so we can switch fast to new tab. So we can eliminate an extra button to simplify UI.

Do you use both options frequently? Don't worry, I have plans for that. I am planning to add "Overview mode". So when you click overview button, it opens the link in a overlay popup, so we can take a look of the link without leaving current page.

So after that, it will be better than ever...
[Android Apps and Games] k3dar7:
i think in 55% i use open_background(more links and after read one after one), in 40% i use open_foreground (and immediately read it), in 5% i use share_in_other_browser (because your private_mode share cokies with not private ;) so for me is ideal have in openlink_popup both options, maybe if you sure want eliminate extra button, then show on second_icon_line OpenInBackground icon only if user set "Open New Tabs in Foreground" (= for primary first_line of openlink_popup)? but i think having more icons in openlink_popup 2line is ok for all user, because this not hinder :)

---------- Post added at 06:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 AM ----------

this be sure nice :) but for me not replace need use both open_in_foreground/background ;)
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
OK, let's test the overview mode, after that we can continue this discussion! Deal?
[Android Apps and Games] k3dar7:
ok :)

btw: in latest is realy nice changes for text box for show cursor and make selection, with grey big icons! thanks for this change :)
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
New thing!

Overview mode!

Backup your data before try this..

I think its super handy & cool.

Hope you like it....

Play with it & let me know guys...
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
dude that feature is awesome :eek: love it!

attached two screens
[Android Apps and Games] k3dar7:
nice :) now i disable new option to open link in foreground and use overview for foreground, is realy good you also have icon for switch from overview to normal foregroumd tab :)

only one question/tip, can you please make overview windows ~full width?

---------- Post added at 02:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 AM ----------

and one controverse question... what about change gesture on search icon? up for refresh, down for home? i primary use refresh and with old doubleclick, because swipe down is more problematic for me (using xda navigatoon (hiden) gesture) is swipe down almost bottom of device and with onehand not usable :)

---------- Post added at 02:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 AM ----------

and second question, what is please status of makeing private mode really private? = not share cokies... i still use share in other browser for open link without saved cokies...
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
Overview mode: If we set full width, we can't differentiate with normal tabs, an overview is an overview:)

Refresh: Agreed, I guess, we should remove swipe down to refresh & keep old good double tap to refresh. Even goto menu -> refresh is better in your case.

Private mode: I am thinking it for long time, the best solution is a separate private OH browser. I will build it after a while.
[Android Apps and Games] k3dar7:
if you change overview width to full width(or = full - some(5?)pixel), still be different because:

- not have full height

- on bottom have on left close and on right fulltab icons

i think is unnecessarily on today's nudloids device cut width only for effects :)

i prefer for refresh doubletap instead menu/refresh, but swipeup is easier with minimum mistake and because refresh i use much more often than gohome (100:1) i think ideal is swap this swipeup/doubletap function ;)

for someone usecase will be maybe separate total pri ate OH good, but for mr usecase is better having private mode in main browser, is realy problem disable sharing cookies i private mode with non-private?
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
New curved design for overview mode!

Is that cool?....
[Android Apps and Games] k3dar7:
MUCH better and +1 for rounded corner, only one question: Where is (please) apk? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] aygross1929:
Is their a way to have links open in the foreground tab yet
[Android Apps and Games] k3dar7:
yes, in latest alpha build you have two possibilities:

- in OH settings activate new option "Open New Tabs in Foreground", this change primary bahaviour OpenLink popup

- use new "Overview(/Overlay)" function using "eye" icon in OpenLink popup (info1, info2)
[Android Apps and Games] aygross1929:
Cool ty
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
Hahah... Apk is on the way... :)

Tinkering some tiny stuff.

Do you know what's cool about other than rounded corner? We can drag the page, it will slide down same as main tabs. I love it. Hope you enjoy...
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
Oops, I removed it.

Do you still need "Open in foreground" settings?

I thought overview mode is enough.

But if you have a habit of always open links in foreground, I will add that option.

Reply ASAP.
[Android Apps and Games] aygross1929:
I would like foreground option as well since I have oh browser as my default. So for instance when I open a link in my Feedly or twitteri would like it to open oh browser and it be the foreground tab not that I then have to go into tabs and then get to what I was going to read.

I think they both should be options if possible.
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
How about adding an option to overview tab for hitting the reader mode?
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
First thing, this is just overview mode. We just take a look at a link. If the link is worthy, then we can always make it as a normal tab by pressing the last button. Otherwise we can just close it & clear the clutter.

So I added only very important actions.

Close - Important for instant close, we may have several navigation, so instead of pressing back key several buttons, close button will help to close immediately. Handy.

Refresh - Must have button. We may navigate several links. When the page stuck load on a certain link, it is easy to refresh.

Full - We can always make it normal tab by pressing this button. So we can have all options.

We cant access main menu if we are in overview mode. So If we add read options on overview mode, we can't change text size & other options.

But the last button is life saver. Always helps us.:)
[Android Apps and Games] Gborg3:
Using OH Web Browser on HP TouchPad/Tenderloin running Evervolv N 7.1.2 and download only allows me to pick my ext SD partition. I checked in settings and saw nothing to change this behavior. Searched SD, ext SD and external SD but that came up with nothing helpful as well. Is there something I can do to include internal storage as an option for downloads? If logs are needed, let me know what would work best and it will be done.
[Android Apps and Games] aygross1929:
Any thoughts on having the new tab be foreground as a option. Or maybe when oh browser is launched form a link in a diff app it should be foreground and otherwise if tour in oh browser he can use the preveiw tab
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
When you click download, a popup shown with filename & size. Choose "Download". Then it shows a file manager to select location. In that file manager you tap menu button in upper right corner. Now you have the options to show internal / external storage.

Refer the attachment.

Hi folks,

does anybody use "No Image mode" & "Rotate" in OH browser?

[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
Just tap menu -> desktop mode, when you see this message.

How do you use overview mode?

Thx
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
OV mode is available only on alpha apk as of now.

Long press any link, tap the eye icon!

[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
Alright, here is another beta. Backup your data, uninstall previous version, then install this.

Some cool things inside. Hope you enjoy!

Don't forgot to share your thoughts to me....
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
Have you removed the pull down to refresh??? It's not working for me.

Attached some screens. Finally a great menu and the OV mode is redesigned.

Edit: refresh is now a double tap on the magnifying glass
[Android Apps and Games] filnirv:
The new menu is really nice
[Android Apps and Games] k3dar7:
Thanks :) Changes of overview is excellent, changes of menu is sure better clarity, but where is "key icon" for store password? and what is (i) icon? :)

btw: is placebo effect or is now more speed up?
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
I will add option to select which should be cleared on exit, so if we leave cookies, then we don't need that key symbol, if we clear cookies, we don't need it either.

Info button is for page info.

Speed = Internal optimization + Reduced animation duration.
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
Any thoughts on latest beta?
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
I like it, nothing to complain but you have removed the "lite" mode, blocking images? :/

And the new version has a pretty good performance.
[Android Apps and Games] fanboy_android:
I haven't been around lately but I can say for sure that the beta does feel a lot snappier and responsive than its previous iterations. That said, there is still a slight stutter while displaying the menu when I press the menu icon. Besides, The new menu looks equally good.

My device Nokia 7 plus.

Keep up the good work. :)

Kudos for the new release: definitely slick and refined!

Apologize for the silly question, but I don't understand how to save a shortcut to a website only in "quick access" screen without saving it in my device's home screen.

I mean: now if I open a webpage and tap the "plus" icon, the shortcut is placed on both the quick access shortcuts and the launcher's pages (I use Nova).

Thereafter I go to Nova and delete the shortcut I don't want.

Is there a way to save shortcuts only inside OH Browser quick access page and NOT in Nova?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
Home page icons (links) are auto generated. It actually shows frequently visited sites. For next update, I am planning to do a completely redesigned home page on which we can add our own custom links.

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] k3dar7:
ok, some tips ;)

- in private mode not share cookies with nonprivate

- lock tab in tab card (for disable unnecesary closing)

- posibility of rearange open tab order

- option for save thumbnail of opened tab

- copy selected text to notes (show as new "tab" in fav/hist/dl window)

- in new InfoPage win show button for:

- show https certificate

- show page source

[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
OK, what I understand is,

for square icon in overview mode,

Tap - Make it a foreground tab

Tap and hold - Make it background tab

If this is correct, I will implement it in upcoming updates.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] onehandyapps:
:) Very strange request, this is the unique feature of this browser,

hmm...

anyway, I got an idea,

what about an option to customize "how much % of page move down". so we can set 0% if we don't want the site to move down

also we have set % based on mobile size.

won't it cool?:cool:
