I'm currently trying out Dolphin Mini and REALLY liking it. I was not a fan of Dolphin HD -- lots of nice features, but it seemed to crawl on my phone. Mini is snappy and has a fairly clean interface. It might be a keeper.

[Captivate General] JoeyGuard:
I usually spend at least 2 hours a day browsing on my phone. Ive tried opera, both version of dolphin, xscope, and Firefox.

I really feel xscope blows all the browsers away in terms of speed. Its also feels very light. If xscope didn't exist i would probably have to say dolphin HD is the 2nd best.
[Captivate General] Ethere:
Another vote for Dolphin Mini. It works so well, and it's very light on resources.
[Captivate General] mbc663:
After reading this thread I tried dolphin mini for a day and just couldn't get used to it. Didn't seem any quicker than stock so I uninstalled and went back.

[Captivate General] Anastayja:
I've never tried Dolphin mini but I do like and use Dolphin HD as my default browser.
[Captivate General] bnevets27:
I concur..
[Captivate General] whitesox311:
the only browsers i've come across that have unique rendering engines are opera, firefox and skyfire....and havent been a fan of any of them

every other browser is just a different interface for the same ol' browser.....i miss safari
[Captivate General] fldude99:
I've used Opera, Opera mini, Dolphin HD, Dolphin Mini, Skyfire, Miren, but always come back to the stock browser for its speed and ease of use
[Captivate General] waiting4gingerbread:
Have used: stock, xscope, firefox, Opera mini, miren, dolphin HD, dolphin mini.

Stock was good but it is messed up on the JPY roms, which I currently use.

Xscope works pretty well but some of the menus require too much work to get to. Switching tabs is not as easy as it should be. The start up is a bit slow.

Opera Mini is pretty great but does not render some of my common websites correctly so I couldn't use it as my main browser.

Firefox was not really ready for prime time when I used it a month ago.

Miren is ok but much of an improvement from stock IMO.

Dolphin HD is great. I used gestures on my desktop and laptop computers so having this feature was good. It is slightly too resource intensive for me... the start up and getting the bookmarks to show up from the side was a bit laggy.

Dolphin mini is what I'm using now. I think it is the best of the bunch. Pretty light, renders fast, all sites show up correctly, has pretty much all the features I need from Dolphin HD (tabs, gestures). Feels very responsive. The only issue I have is I wish the gesture button would be on all the time instead of just after movement.

I highly recommend Dolphin Mini.
[Captivate General] mbc663:
Messed up which jpy rom? Serendipity?
[Captivate General] oblivianz:
Go for Dolphin Mini or dolphin HD.
[Captivate General] screwyluie:
Miren, and then skyfire when I need better "desktop" rendering, good for annonimity too since skyfire uses a proxy to deliver the pages
[Captivate General] dallasweb:
+1 Skyfire
[Captivate General] WillyWonka23:
I guess I just like the stock google browser the phone comes with. All I do is browse and it seems to be perfect. Does Dolphin run faster?
[Captivate General] bnevets27:
didn't know about xscope till this thread. Haven't used it too much yet but I do like it.

I haven't found any browser to be faster then the stock one and wouldn't really expect any of them to be. But dolphin hd/mini and xscope add some features and make somethings easier to do. Firefox is still in beta so I don't expect polished yet.

This thread could really use a poll
[Captivate General] Simba501:
Dolphin HD
[Captivate General] jake.corey.jacobs:
+1 for stock browser. does the job fast and efficiently enough for me!
[Captivate General] kb0npw:
I hate the stock browser mainly because there is no exit button. I downloaded Dolphin HD and really like it so far. I need to try Skyfire
[Captivate General] AznCowlick:
Dolphin HD but when I need copy and paste I just use stock so I'm guessing both :D

How come my rom manager wont see my new rom?

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
That's incredibly vague. Anyway, you're better off using Amon-RA's recovery for an Eris, ClockWork Mod is known to brick our phones... assuming that's what you're using. Seriously you've given us next to nothing to work with.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joejoemotorcycle:
It is clockwork. Thanks I didn't know that. How do I get amon-ra. Recovery.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Easiest way is to run jcase's 1 Click Eris Root, you can find it on the Market or here

Using Amon is pretty straight forward, just boot into recovery (powering off and power on by VolumeUp+Power/EndCall) the navigation is straight forward, uses trackball. The only thing is it will not see any ROMs inside folders, just keep them at the top on your SD Card
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Probably won't work if the ROM on the phone is anything but a stock ROM, as the rooting method relies on a specific "chmod" statement in the boot partition's "init.rc" - most dev ROMs don't have this in there.

I believe that ROM Manager has an option to install an "alternate recovery" (in this case Amon_RA v1.6.2) but I have never used ROM Manager, so don't quote me on that.

There's always this thread, but it may be way more than the OP bargained for. I would sooner tell a newb to just restore the phone back to stock using the "Official" 2.1 MR3 RUU (RUU_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_2.36.605.1_release_signed_with_driver.exe), and then re-root using jcase's Universal 1 Click Eris Root App Apk thread.

There is a post over on AndroidForums.com that is sort of a mini-tutorial with pictures on using Amon_RA. (It's actually part of a longer rooting thread, but it provides lots of pictures about using Amon_RA).
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joejoemotorcycle:
Hey I need a app2sd n I don't have a market. Thanks for the help

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
joejoe,

if you are not careful you are going to eff your phone up.

There are a couple of people on this forum that use ROM Manager/Clockwork, but in the past, they have not stepped up to help to people asking about it.

Most of the reasons for that are historical - ROM Manager and ClockworkMod recovery were not available for the Eris as early as Amon_RA's recovery - and early versions of ClockworkMod bricked a number of Eris phones. It probably is a lot more reliable now (on the Eris); but because of that history, most people familiar with Eris rooting methods just continued to use Amon_RA because it worked and behaved reliably.

My recommendation is that you return your phone to stock, and then use the "One Click" app to re-root your phone. At that point you will have Amon_RA on your phone, and you will probably get more help (either here or over on androidforums.com) because there are more people that have that experience with the Eris that can help you out with it.

Either that or you simply need to do quite a bit more reading about how ROM Manager works, what a custom recovery looks like when you are interacting with it manually, etc - it is evident from the questions that you are asking that it is unfamiliar territory for you.

Good Luck

Thanks for the advice in advance.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethal_NFS:
You can try v5 but many are going back to 4.1 because the KA5 is not very stable. Many people are having issues with it, including myself.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtiryan:
Since I'm not as technically gifted as most people in this forum, I will speak for the layman who can root, update theme's and use ODIN to some degree. I have used NeroV3 for a few weeks now, and since I updated to the BlackFroyo theme, I have fell in love with the phone again. It is fast, stable with great battery life (over 26 hours with 50% remaining with light use), I haven't dared screw around with changing to a different modem, but I will continue to use V3 until I can see a practical reason to change.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjggilbert:
Which Version?

I have made the progression from Nero_Beta_3 all the way thru Nero 5. I am on it right now, and I think that the KA5 is a bit different. The modem I think will work better for some than others, depending where you are. With the KA5 I am getting a bit better signal in my house that before, House is kind of in a dead zone and I usually only get 1 bar, however I am now getting 3 consistantly bouncing on 4.

So basically it is up to you, if you don't mind trying V5 and then flashing back to V4.1 if it doesn't work for you then that I what I suggest.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megatherian:
Nero 6.5, I hear it has the Gingerbread Man inside.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZachLL88:
Im running nero 5 right now, did a lot of testing last night, everything seems to work at the moment, just fine! Gps took a little time to get some locks, but after its first lock, it seems to work better. Signal is about the same for me, but i live in an area with good reception. Nothing strange so far using the KA5. Gf is running Nero 4.1 with JL5 atm. Both phones seem pretty close. So if you want to upgrade to nero 5 i think its a personal choice.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbbb:
I never understand people like you who ask this. Flashing a new rom, especially one that is simply an upgrade to your existing one, takes like 5 minutes, and usually, using common sense would dictate that v3----> v5 is an upgrade in some sort, likely for the better.

But yes, v5 is good.

Ohhhhkayyyy...

so here's a quick tutorial..

open the respective .apk file with a archive manager [[ 7ZIP for me ]]

go to

search for file

Open the file in a image editor that supports PNG files [photoshop,gimp,etc]

now comes the magic

select all

press "DELETE"

save and close

[Easter Eggs : YES!!You Can.. If you're not a transparenter,

you can change the Color/image too make sure the size is same]

Replace :

Send the apk to your sdcard

copy it anywhere in the /system [cuz only there you would be able to change permissions]

change the permissions as below

now copy/replace it to the destination folder

you're done mate.

I'm Posting it with examples [just to make this tut fun]

everyone has seen the POWERCONTROL WIDGET right?

its in the background image is in Settings.apk

now I extracted the bg image

edited this way

copied it back to the apk file

sent it to my phone

and replaced it

-THE END-

EDIT: THIS METHOD WORKS WITH ALL WIDGETS NOT JUST POWER CONTROLS.. DARN THAT WAS JUST AN EXAMPLE.. :-)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Buddha:
or you can simply download extended controls and there put transperency to 0 lol
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] suhel28:
Very funny... if only you could read.. power controls was the example I gave.. this tutorial was meant for ANY WIDGET not just power control..

Okay so my question is this. I really want to get wp7 Rom but I don't want to lose Android running from my SD card. Is it possible to run both software? I'm talking about wp7 on nand and Android on the SD. If so how do I go about this.... its from my understanding that in order to use wp7 Rom I must run magldr and I'm not sure if magldr would allow me to run Android as well. I've tried searching but I have found some people saying you can and others saying you cant. I just need some clarification. Thank you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2shakiba:
well the answer is definitely no!! because wp7 cant run android

and kernals anly work an winmo 6.5

maybe in future we get android working on wp7 but for now you can get it only through winmo or nand

but you can backup your android nand build and try wp7 for a while then choose which one matches you better.

[Thunderbolt General] dragonriot:
You guys who complain constantly that the Thunderbolt isn't running a dual core processor need to just stop and realize that software follows hardware development by months and years. That means that even if the TB HAD a dual core processor, not only would Gingerbread not be able to fully utilize it, but none of the software available in the market would know what to do with dual cores either.

When dual cores came out for PC systems, Windows XP wasn't even capable of using more than one core. They had to put out a new OS, Vista - which sucks - and then service patch the hell out of XP for it to take advantage of the dual core systems. Hell, Windows didn't even natively support Hyperthreading when Intel first announced it, it also took a huge patch to be recognized and dealt with by the XP Operating System.

All you guys complaining about not having dual cores in HTC phones should be THANKING HTC for giving us the most stable and best hardware on the market... No, they aren't "bleeding edge" like Samsung, but lets be honest here... How many Android users do you know who own any number of HTC phones, and how many do you know who are either not happy with, or returned their Samsung phones? I love the Droid 1, and don't get me wrong, the Droid Bionic looks like one badass phone, but I'll stick with HTC and stability any day over bleeding edge features that might not work for months because of the software not being able to keep up with the hardware changes.

Again, Gingerbread does NOT have the capability to take full advantage of dual core processors yet, so stop worrying about it, and just be happy with the fact that they are still producing phones for us that work, that people are pleased with, and don't get returned because of a ****ty UI or sluggish response compared to another phone. I dunno about you guys, but I'm getting a Thunderbolt on release day, and in three months, I'll upgrade another line to the next HTC release, and three months after that, and so on until I've replaced all 5 of my lines with brand spankin new HTC phones. Screw the lockdown on Moto phones - and even if the Bionic isn't locked down, it will still have Motoblur (read: failsauce) - and the crappy UI and toyish feel of Samsung phones... HTC is always on the forefront of Android development... and for everything they've given us in the Eris, the Incredible, and now the Thunderbolt, we should be a bit more appreciative.

Feel free to complain about the battery life, cuz yeah... it sucks. :P
[Thunderbolt General] A_Flying_Fox:
What incentive do you have for upgrading if you already contain one of the countless other android phones that were released in the last year with

A 1ghz processor

[Thunderbolt General] karnovaran:
Better processor, better gpu, more ram, LTE.
[Thunderbolt General] Bateluer:
Theres other phones with the same cpu and gpu releaaed in the past year, the DHD for example.
[Thunderbolt General] karnovaran:
Well yeah, but the DHD isn't available to Verizon users. The comparable for most of us is the Incredible and the Thunderbolt IS an upgrade, despite misconceptions about its processor.
[Thunderbolt General] A_Flying_Fox:
The thunderbolt is an upgrade if:

A) you have a DInc but you're in one of 38 lte marketplaces

B) you have an eris
[Thunderbolt General] digitalicecream:
and C) you're wife just dropped her D1 and broke the screen, and now you have to give her your Droid Incredible. heh.

A lot of us are in those markets.
[Thunderbolt General] Chopstick2U:
Hoping to ditch my Eris as soon as this comes out. Hopefully they'll offer an early upgrade option since my contract doesn't expire until May. Still, that wouldn't be too long to wait. Here's hoping I don't get screwed with extra 4G prices since I won't be in any of those 2011 markets, and I only want a 1-year contract for this puppy.

Since the LTE functionality has it's own SIM, it could be removed if the user didn't want LTE and then VZW wouldn't need to charge extra for 4G. Of course, all of this would depend on VZW not being greedy and not following the Sprint's example... which is pretty unlikely, I guess.

Well, I am rockin the Eris still, can upgrade in March, and I'm stuck between ThunderBolt, LG Revolution, and Samsung's no-name. I'm just disappointed because the ThunderBolt is essentially an Evo. So in the like 9 months since that was released, has HTC not made any advances? That's what's most upsetting to me, you know?
[Thunderbolt General] ILikeBubbles:
Totally. I have noticed every phone worth caring about for the last 6 months at least have had 4.3" screens. The last 4 or so HTC phones have been basically the same hardware. I understand the draw of the huge screen but I'm 5'2" so... HTC please give me thunderbolt specs in Eris / Nexus size >.<
[Thunderbolt General] karnovaran:
That would be upsetting if it were true. Luckily it's not.
[Thunderbolt General] brian0488:
Not all processors are created equal. The 1ghz processor is not the same 1ghz processor as the incredible (google pipelining). I think the incredible has a version 1 snapdragon and the thunderbolt is a version 3.

As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather have sense with a single core than blur with a million cores!
[Thunderbolt General] shaddix2:

[Thunderbolt General] ksizzle9:
To the person that said they were waiting on the Samsung with no name. A little advice, save yourself because that phone will start off an entire OS version behind. And it won't even be samsungs flagship device as far as we know ATM. so it will likely never even get gingerbread. And even if it is a flagship device from them, look at the entire US galaxy s line. All five of them are "flagship" type devices. Question. Do they even have froyo. Answer. NO! I wasted almost $600 on that POS fascinate. That is actually a nice phone just doesn't have froyo. So don't waste any more time with Samsung. I think we, as paying customers needto make sure they pay a price for their disloyalty(word?).
[Thunderbolt General] mtlons:
I have an eris. Every once in awhile I go on craigslist and search for stuff for sale. Found a like new Droid X with case for $200. They go for 300+ on ebay. Dude wants an iPhone :rolleyes: I'll be picking it up on the 31st....already got the MEID from him and checked it with verizon.

I'm gonna use that for a few months and see what develops in LTE. I've seen rumors that Moto has been modifying Blur to make it less intrusive, more like vanilla. Should be able to get 200-250 for the DX ina few months.

I like the RAM increase in the Thunderbolt (can also OC) vs the Bionic. And, though still speculative since they aren't out, the TB should be easier to root and install custom roms.

Is the atrix the only upcoming phone with 1GB of ram? I can't find anything on the revolution.

The samsung is weird looking.
