[Captivate Themes and Apps] vaiol123:
Thanks man. The BIOS style one looks sick. It seems that you can restore a bootsound through SGSTools, but when I set a random .ogg notification sound as the shut down sound, it played it in a never ending loop. I'll try and tinker with it some.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] 10tonhammr:
Yea, I had no luck working with SGS Tools and the boot/shutdown sound changer. It works great on stock 2.1 w/ root (I tested it the last time I flashed back to stock- rocking the "droid" voice on boot for a while).

Unfortunately, it never worked for me on custom roms. Even tried .mp3 and .oog files instead of .wav just for the hell of it. I think the issue has to do with the playlogos1 file that the devs modify to kill the default shutdown/startup sounds. I'm going to try SGST again though... its been a while and that app has been updated 4 or 5 times since I last tried.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] vaiol123:
Well, I found the shutdown.ogg file from the JH7 OTA .zip file and yes, it did work through SGSTools! If I find the original boot animation in one of these folders it'll be back to stock appearence :D Now whether or not I want to do that is the question hehehe....

EDIT: Turns out only the shutdown sound was working. Im doing a Rom Manager backup now, but my plan is too remove the bootanimation.zip file and restore the factory playlogos and playlogos1 files back to system/bin and see what happens.

EDIT 2: Well that didn't work... I found two other files called bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg and seeing if those work.

EDIT 3: No luck there either. I wonder if it is possible at all to restore the boot animation and sound, and what the developers did to remove it. Its very interesting...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jcjcc:
Here's a copy of the stock bootanimation.zip. Credit to whoever I got this from. Personally I like the BIOS one :cool:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SmallHacker:
Some iphone apps are creative and useful...

But dont know why android does not have.

It is because no developer to develop or it's cant?

I love android.. i hope it can approach to Iphone....:(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sitlet:
Well most of the time, its one person developing apps, and if they ONLY have an iphone, they obviously arent going to make an android version if they dont have an android phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dro162:
Cross-compiling apps with limited hardware resources would be far too draining. To put it in perspective, running a 4MB Nintendo 64 game on the Xbox almost exceeds its capacity.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smilecfip:
Any chance that someone could get the Message Access Profile (MAP) Bluetooth profile working on the EVO? The Droid X appears to support it, so could that Bluetooth stack be used?

I'd love to be able to use my Ford Sync system with my EVO to read my text messages!

I'm currently running Fresh 3.5.0.1, but would consider donating/switching to a new ROM with this support.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurboX2:
+1 Here..

I also have ford sync, and would like to see this for my evo
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc_touch_mn:
Bump;

Any news on this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smilecfip:
I'm reading that the just released EVO 3D supports the MAP profile, and works with SYNC after enabling the option on the phone. Does anyone know if we might be able to port this over?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2lounge.ch:
I'm very interested in this as well!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordtalon:
I installed the new JPY firmware with Odin, then Darky's Mod.

Now i'd like to install the OCLF as well, but every time i try it, the Galaxy S keeps stucking on the loading screen (where it says "Galaxy S GT-I9000 Samsung")

I tried the whole procedure several times!

Disabled Voodoo, .... enabled and disabled all options i found ... tried everything i found an the forums ... but i still can't get it to work!

So, is it even possivle to use JPY + Darky's + OCLF? o.0

thx
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GdsN:
Same Problem here, just tried it and i even forgot to backup my files -.-
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tragusman:
Is oclf compatible with 2.2.1? And why do you want to install lagfix? its well documented it doesnt make any difference on jpy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajuki:
2 Things-

Its quite possible that OCLF is not compatible with 2.2.1 Kernel

Its quite possible that the Kernel that Darky uses (Voodoo 5.0.3) is not compatible with OCLF.

Personally, If you are on Darky's ROM, you really don't use a lag fix since its very smooth and lag free. If you do need lag fix, why not Voodoo? I know it a bit battery hungry but then again, you can't have everything......
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
I had same symptoms with Darkys v7 so assume not compatible .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuptup:
Yeah, i think OCLF is only compatible with stock kernels.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themate1987:
i've used oclf on v7.6 and it is very unstable
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.francis:
If you really want to use a lagfix aside from voodoo, go flash hardcore's speedmod kernel (k12f) and then go to cwm then set the ' faster' lagfix (ext4 all).

It has been ages since I used OCLF. It might be one of the more 'idiot-proof' lagfix out there in terms of installation but is definitely not one of the better lagfixes in terms of performance once you get to try the rest.

[Android Apps and Games] drigerott:
apk link don't works
[Android Apps and Games] mattrb:
That battery situation was the real deal.
[Android Apps and Games] jonny68:
Great to see well done folks, ive been using this browser since it was first posted on here as a Chinese language only browser and then someone translated it to English and other languages and now we have the best browser for Android with great improvments being released all the time.:)
[Android Apps and Games] eeegamer:
Link still doesnt work, any update?
[Android Apps and Games] alr1967:
apk link don't works
[Android Apps and Games] phoezies:
link doesnt work
[Android Apps and Games] bongd:
Ah, bummer.. was hoping the links would be fixed by now but I'll chime in as well...

"Links don't work!" :D

Thanks for all the commitment to this browser though. You can tell that we're all eager to get a sneak peak!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] wxrjack:
Link corrected.

Sorry for the mistake. Please try again.
[Android Apps and Games] bongd:
Will post some feedback once I get the chance to rock it! Thanks again!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] wxrjack:
Any feedback guys?
[Android Apps and Games] cCeT:
why it looks 1.1 on the about tab?
[Android Apps and Games] bongd:
Sorry for not submitting preliminary feedback. Installing the .apk right now and I'll be using it on my lunch break. I'll try to test it out overnight and report back tomorrow :)
[Android Apps and Games] wxrjack:
Oops, we just forgot changing it in AndroidManifest.xml. Thanks for your great catch.
[Android Apps and Games] Svenvdmeer:
the swype feature is nice but I it also happens accidentally when I try to go the left sure of the page and. Maybe you should put some kind of minimum speed so that the swype action only happens when you flick fast

The volume button scrolling is nice.
[Android Apps and Games] Poapfel:
Nice Update but I would be happy if you add Extensions, add ons, Themes and so on ;)
[Android Apps and Games] SpaceK33z:
Miren browser has a lot of FCs on Android 2.3. For example, you can't download anything. Please fix this.
[Android Apps and Games] EndlessDissent:
IMO, Miren should be kept small and streamlined. Let them make it even more fast and stable first.

Theme support would be nice, though. I think some of the theme makers here could make this browser look crazy, and I personally think this is the best looking browser on Android as it is.
[Android Apps and Games] jason600:
When switching tabs by swiping or volume keys, can you loop the tabs. For example, if I have 4 tabs open, I can swipe right until the last tab, but swiping right again will not take be back to the first tab. This would be very useful when using full screen with the tab bar hidden.

Also, on the bookmarks page, when using the phone in landscape, I can only see 4 bookmarks at a time, scrolling through 30 bookmarks is a pain. Can we have diferent layouts, like Xscope does, icons, thumbnails and list, please?

Very nice browser.
[Android Apps and Games] godutch:
Not really bugs exclusive for the rc but I would like to report them anyway:

It is not possible to select text from non_input fields.

Some pages turn into black empty tabs if you keep them running in the background a while, especially when you switch to another app for a while. The page I notice this with most is www.elsevier.nl
[Android Apps and Games] bjcolema:
Great improvements. I love the motions for back/forward. I agree that something should be done to distinguish that from moving side to side within a page.

I have tried all the browsers, and this is by far the best daily user. The speed, and functionality are better than the rest.
[Android Apps and Games] Wwwillem:
Great. I love the new option to choose to open a new tab on a long click.
[Android Apps and Games] wuli:
I love it! A few comments:

1. Sometimes slow to open pages, as compared to xscope. It stalls for 5sec then loads fine.

2. During load time swipe between tabs does not work.

3. As mentioned above, compared to xscope, swipe between tabs dies not work well. But very useful IMO.

4. Unlike the market version, the forward and back buttons do not disappear for some reason.

5. Most pages for some reason open too far away. Even when settings ate changed to -close-.

6. The opening/landing page is cool. But should be more modular and editable. Like changing location of bookmarks.

7. Another small request. Make cut paste of text like in new xscope (iphonish)

Thanks to all involved!

8. When opening new tab in background add a simple toast message. Or blink the tab, or something.
[Android Apps and Games] starfarer:
Wow!!!!! Loving it at the moment. Pages are flying and very smooth zoom in out on nexus one. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] wxrjack:
These are wonderful suggestions!! Thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] wxrjack:
I am looking at xScope Trial 6.37.

However, I cannot figure out how to trigger copy-paste. I long-press on the text and it seems not working...
[Android Apps and Games] Rockeef:
Nice work!

Noticed the RSS feed ratings are in Chinese and it also shows a loading text that's in Chinese (I'm guessing the language).
[Android Apps and Games] gupta.keshav94:
1) Can you add a bottom bar with many buttons with different functionalities? Just like Safari on iPhone has..

2) An option which doesnt hide the address bar on full screen mode.. Means I would like a full screen mode in which only the status bar(notification bar) gets hidden..

3) On back and forward gesture, the screen should follow the finger.. :)
[Android Apps and Games] gupta.keshav94:
Long press on menu button(the physical button of your phone).. A menu pops up and select copy paste.. :)
[Android Apps and Games] wuli:
A few followups:

* in the landing/opening page, and in the bookmark page, it will be helpful to be able to long press and open in new tab. I frequently open my start page and then long press all the tabs i want in the background, and then start moving to them.

* Did you find the text copy in xscope? (long press meny, copy text).

* i think my remark from before about the forward back not hiding is because i wanst in full screen mode. I wonder if you can make them autohide in normal mode too.

Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] lexar123:
Great Browser !! So far one of my favorites..

My phone does not support pinch and zoom. So it would be great to add resize + / - buttons to the browser (like the default browser).

.................for ltr
[Android Apps and Games] rgbc:
Excellent upgrade thanks. Swipe to change tabs is long overdue in all browsers, thank you for implementing it! Also enjoying long press to open link in background.
[Android Apps and Games] bongd:
Thank you! I had to fall back to an official release but I'll try this one and see how it goes. Other than the application crashing, it was working fantastic as always. Loving the new improvements too!
[Android Apps and Games] bclark:
I actually don't have the stock browser anymore bc of you guys but with this beta:

the back swype is a little too sensitive, though I love the idea

I love the choice to long press for link choices but when I short press nothing happens and it highlights above the link area. I am required to long press. This happens on the xda portal for example.

I was pinch zooming a page and the browser just closed. No force close, wasn't still running in task manager, just gone.

On a Captivate.

Dilli and Digi... now with Glitterballs.
[Android Apps and Games] dahauss:
The issue I have with the browser is the setting fire brightness. I turn off auto brightness and set it where I want and it seems to revert back. any fix for this?
[Android Apps and Games] godutch:
In build 139 the following page http://www.elsevier.nl/web/Nieuws.htm still turns into a black empty page if I keep it on a background tab for a while and I still cannot select (and therefor copy) non-input field text
[Android Apps and Games] wxrjack:
Try click "text copy" in menu first?
[Android Apps and Games] Svenvdmeer:
what is the changelog for rc 139?
[Android Apps and Games] naenee:
I use the official release from miren dot cn and the page you linked to seems to work fine here even after having it as a background tab for a few minutes and returning to it.

And, as wxrjack suggests - try using the copy text menu item, it works for me.
[Android Apps and Games] lefty83:
yea love miren browser, been using it on and off for a while but as some people mentioned before, downloading on gingerbread force close's the app...

[Android Apps and Games] danibri82:
I just installed and its tge best application I have ever used, hands down
[Android Apps and Games] godutch:
You need more time than a few minutes to reproduce, more like several hours.you also need to go back to the android home screen out another app. and I can't select from the menu either.
[Android Apps and Games] gupta.keshav94:
What about my suggestions? Will you implement them?
[Android Apps and Games] naenee:
Ah, I see. Well.. I rarely keep any site open for hours. You may want to consider using the dedicated app 'Elsevier.nl' from the Market if you find yourself using that website often?
[Android Apps and Games] wxrjack:
They are all noted and we are thinking about it.

for 1, we purposely trying to remove all things off the screen. so we won't do that for some time

for 2, we will do it most likely

for 3. it's a nifty idea, we are testing to see how that feels.
[Android Apps and Games] gupta.keshav94:
Thanks for taking my 2nd and 3rd suggestion..

And for 1st suggestion, why are you trying to remove the buttons from the screen? It would improve the usability and make the UI more comfortable.. I am not forcing.. just wanna know.. :)..
[Android Apps and Games] whatsleft4her:
More reasons why this is my favorite browser!

evo running myn warm 2.2
[Android Apps and Games] erikiksaz:
Sometimes a minimal UI is just easier and simpler to use. The only buttons I really need are the back, forward, and fullscreen button. Anything else is not used that often in routine surfing. The extra stuff would just take away from the screen real estate.

Although I wouldn't mind a refresh floating button next to the forward one.
[Android Apps and Games] rgbc:
A floating refresh button would be excellent.
[Android Apps and Games] gupta.keshav94:
Okay your point is also right..

But I would still need a bottom bar.. I think he could make an option for selecting b/w either a bottom bar or floating buttons..

User can choose any of those depending upon what he needs.. :)

This would be better I guess..
[Android Apps and Games] kschang:
Perhaps you need to make a toolbar with spots to add additional functions, sort of like Galapagos browser (6 buttons) but sort of like Dazzle the desktop toggler where you can slip in like 8-10 functions in space of 4x1 on desktop. So users can decide what functions they really need to set or keep.

What are you supposed to do or config?

[Android Apps and Games] godutch:
In your review you say miren is slow but the first thing I noticed about miren was it's speed, much faster than dolphin hd, though it had slowed down a bit in the latest versions but also I don't encounter chinese anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] EndlessDissent:
Just noticed an error in the menu to choose the user agent. I'm using the official market update. It's not formatted to work in landscape mode. At least, not in MIUI.
[Android Apps and Games] Koneesha:
Hi. I'm new to the Miran Browser. I was wondering what this user agent thingy indeed does. I like the browser but wish i could get rid of the floating buttons. I always hit them by accident. lol
[Android Apps and Games] EndlessDissent:
User agent spoofs a different device than what you're using. If you change it to desktop, it will trick the website into thinking you are using a computer. This is useful for sites that automatically send you to a minimal mobile site when you visit them with your phone. They will show you the full-size page with all the pictures and plug-ins.

You can't get rid of all the floating buttons, but you can get rid of forward/back by going to Settings, then press Advanced at the bottom of the screen. Go to Full-screen Control, and there will be an option for the floating buttons. Change it to Hide Forward/Back.
[Android Apps and Games] kschang:
I was testing over 3G only, not WiFi. It may be more sensitive to network conditions. It's just a general feeling, not a formal test.
[Android Apps and Games] aditya104:
Is it possible for someone to edit the apk to get rid of the widget and RSS. Also in the package there are many images with chinese, is it OK to delete those and repackage for a smaller size?
[Android Apps and Games] Wwwillem:
I have a suggestion: when you're using long-click to open a link in a new tab while in full screen mode, there's no feedback as to whether it has opened or not. You could use a toast message for that, reading something like "new tab opened".

Thx.
[Android Apps and Games] dakoop:
I enjoy this browser until it switches to chinese. Any idea how to fix this and keep it english
[Android Apps and Games] EndlessDissent:
I've never had that problem. That must be very annoying.
[Android Apps and Games] EndlessDissent:
There should be two options: Open in new tab, and Open in background.

Open in background works the way you describe.

Open in new tab should switch focus to the new tab immediately.

Is it not working that way for you?
[Android Apps and Games] aditya104:
Hi guys, I am editing the top sites of miren browser. Any suggestions? Any cool sites u know for news, weather, wallpapers, sports etc. you want in there. I will upload that version for you guys.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondScrott:
Top Sites. It would br nice to have Pocketnow on the Tech and Sky Sports (UK) on the sports but I guess the danger is the list will get too long. To avoid this it would be great if the personalised Bookmarks front page could be set up in a similar way to Top Sites but perhaps a different colour shade?
[Android Apps and Games] creage:
Just to be honest, guys does any of you use this crappy top sites feature? I'd like to remove it completely, increasing place for for shortcuts.
[Android Apps and Games] EndlessDissent:
I had never actually pressed that button before I read your post, but after looking through the list, I can honestly say I have no use for it. Any site in that list that I'm interested in, I either have an app for it or an RSS feed in Pulse.
[Android Apps and Games] dtgeorge:
How make flash "ondemandable"? )

PS: great job, very nice browser. Feel better then dolphin hd and FF
[Android Apps and Games] EndlessDissent:
In the settings, press the Advanced tab at the bottom and press the option that says "Web Page", and you should see an option near the bottom of the screen for "Display Flash Content". Press that, and select On Demand.
[Android Apps and Games] aditya104:
the top sites was useless for me. i mean most of the websites in it. so i m editing that to include all my bookmarks and other cool sites that i visit often. so some1 suggested skysports uk. anything else?
