In practice, I've not found this actually works at all, in fact, I found Firefox to be a horrible experience on the EVO. :(

I really wanted to like it, but it won't open when you click a link from and email for example, and it's rather slow, and I never got it to sync with my other machines. It's just not ready to daily use yet, IMHO

I uninstalled after a week, and installed Dolphin, which I really like so far.

I'm going to install Miren later today and give it a go, thanks :)
[EVO 4G General] FLdub:
I like Opera Mini, loads everything super fast.
[EVO 4G General] grungbuk:
I have used miren, dolphin, xscope, and modified stock browsers my daily is xscope but im looking at miren now after it the recent update.
[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
does anyone know if firefox for android syncs with minefield (firefox testers betas)

me personally, ive tried dolphin and i still prefer the stock android sense browser. it gets the job done, flash videos play fine, and downloading is easy.
[EVO 4G General] Beejis:
Is there a way to get the gingerbread browser on a sense rom? Anyone have it to post with maybe instructions on how to do it?

Pocket posted...
[EVO 4G General] Seandeezy:
I'm going to give Miren a go. Seems pretty win.
[EVO 4G General] Vegasrich:
Opera mini
[EVO 4G General] Nefariouss:
I'd have to go with Dolphin Mini. I used Dolphin HD for the longest. Tried Mirens for the last week then switched over to Dolphin Mini the last two days. So far it's the best. Fastest webpage scrolling and typing. Zero lag on that browser.
[EVO 4G General] Rakeesh_j:
firefox feature wise sounds great but it's really really buggy
[EVO 4G General] info[]box1:
dolphin mini is the new champ of ppc's browser.
[EVO 4G General] felacio:
I've got to give this to Miren. Ever since I started using it. I haven't gone back to Dolphin, skyfire, or anything else. Love Miren

Or the default Gingerbread browser.. when I'm on one of those roms.
[EVO 4G General] Philosuffer:
Why is that? Based on what factors?

I know Skyfire 2.0 used to have the fastest average page load time according to an Engadget test, I'm sure a lot has changed since Sep 30th, 2010 though. And of course Miren and Dolphin Mini weren't tested at the time.

[EVO 4G General] mrfyisms:
I use dolphin. Firefox wouldn't load anything, opera was fast but I didn't like the "look", default browser was just boring, skyfire was just crappy. But these, like all the comments before, are just opinions.

You have been EVOfied.
[EVO 4G General] Beejis:
The best COMPLETE browser for me is DolphinHD, mini is not as user friendly IMO. I love Miren but there are certain sites (mainly my work sites) I can't use. If I could then Miren would be the best one.
[EVO 4G General] kamtsa:
Just installed the Miren. It is very fast indeed. I think I like it.

(I used before cm 6.1.2 stock browser).

[EVO 4G General] Skaufma0:
I use Dolphin HD, but now that I see good reviews on Miren I'm going to give it a try.
[EVO 4G General] stat30fbliss:
I swear by Opera Browser. The mini option is nice too, but I stick with the full version.

I've used just about every mobile browser for some time. I was stuck on dolphin for a while, and even tried the FireFox beta (its ok).

So far, Opera has the fastest page loads, quickest response, and best U/I.
[EVO 4G General] jacoballen22:
I like miren a lot..it has a cooler look than dolphin. I really like dolphin mini but the green kills me..still it is a toss up.
[EVO 4G General] cybervyrus8587:
Xscope is the one for me
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
I like the layout of Dolphin Mini more, but I also dislike the green. I love the blue of Miren's. I wish there were a way to combine the both....
[EVO 4G General] jacoballen22:
I also like how miren uses back and forward. Your just swype left or right to get to a previous page..it is addicting.
[EVO 4G General] backdown:
I wasn't aware of that feature!
[EVO 4G General] info[]box1:
New browser alert: boat browser is new and promising. It reminds me of safari the desktop browser. Check it out guys

Powered by Vin255764 Plutonium
[EVO 4G General] spork27:
I've tried most of the browsers and settled on Skyfire a long time ago. I've tried Miren for a day a couple of times and now I'm forcing myself to use it for a week to see if I like it better then. So far, Skyfire still feels faster and I really miss the button for on the fly switching between mobile and desktop sites instead of having to go into the menu.

With all of that said, holy cow is Boat Browser fast! Once it gets more settings and matures it should be beast. I'm keeping it installed just so I can keep up with updates.
[EVO 4G General] mecampo:
dolphin mini, i just set it to full screen so i wont see the green :)
[EVO 4G General] jacoballen22:
Just knowing the green is there is enough for me. I still like it though..but miren has that sexy blue and circular loading plus the scroll left to go back and vice versa..nmmm lol
[EVO 4G General] info[]box1:
Boat browser is very promising. And skyfire and opera products is a all time favorite since my window mobile days.

Powered by Vin255764 Plutonium
[EVO 4G General] mrfyisms:
For all you people complaining about the green dolphin-browser ...mine is blue and there are several different color themes available in the market or via the add-ons menu.

You have been EVOfied.
[EVO 4G General] Danthony428:
personally i think dolphin completely kicks ass, i used to use skyfire, but ever since froyo i didnt need the flash in browser, so i just use dolphin always now
[EVO 4G General] secondskin:
After reading through this thread I just downloaded Miren and instantly was very impressed. I was actually pretty happy with the factory browser but I think Miren has just won me over.
[EVO 4G General] NhocCuteGirls:
Miren browser!

Miui and Evo

I tried Miren and didn't care for it as much as I do Dolphin Mini. I'm sticking with Dolphin Mini, its a great browser. Mission accomplished.

I like dolphin mini. No problems with it and pages load fast.

Thanks for the info on boat browser! That app is fast!

i'll try miren for a week to see how i like it. anybody know how to set left button as miren on caulkins? cant get rosie settings to do anything. also, how is it good besides looks?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davefeelsright:
As many of you may know, Serendipity 5.0 just came out. I may be one of the few who are currently on 4.3 and doesn't feel like updating. But I did notice that on the ROM's website that a couple battery mods are available. Are these mods only available for 5.0 or will they work with 4.3?

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
You'll end up with the framework-res.apk of 5.0.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davefeelsright:
Heh. I might as well update. But is it recommended for me to use ODIN before I flash? I feel like backing up everything on my SD card would be too much of a hassle.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
You have to back up everything regardless.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davefeelsright:
I guess the better question to ask is that is it recommended to flash back to stock before going to 5.0? Or going from 4.3 to 5.0 not a good idea of the FC problems?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soccer_Dad:
I'm using one of the older battery mods that was made for serendipity 4.3 - I think the version number of the mod was 0.5 IIRC. It works fine (for me) on 4.3, because it was made for it. You can probably find it somewhere in the 500 page thread.

I too will probably wait until 5.2 or so to update. So far, I'm getting everything I want from my phone - no reason to experiment and put that at risk
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
As of now all the battery mods were updated by Chance.
[Adam General] webs05:
Does anyone know who the mod is for this forum?

Please keep the posting here for Adam development only. Questions should be posted outside of the Adam Development forum, even if they are about the rooting process and don't fit a root thread. If you are unsure post in general and if necessary we will work to get the thread moved here.

The problem being that non dev posts push everything else down and crowd what will become a very crowded forum.

Thank you for your help, we really appreciate it!!

Was that development? I didn't think so. Lol sorry I had too. You know how flamey these can be so I figured I would flame, then joke, now say I'm sorry.
[Adam General] JSZESZE:
Why would you post this on the general section? You may want to re word your op, The way you have it now seems like your asking for dev only posts in the general section.

Just my .02¢

[Adam General] Koadic:
I believe this was originally posted in the dev section regarding the questions that were inappropriately posted there instead of in general, and as this is as inappropriate (not as a post, just being placed in the dev section) as those other posts, this got moved as well, just like the questions.
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Hi dear Nexus S developers and users :)

I plan to port and develop a lot of sound and screen related stuff for the Nexus S. Using source to extend it not only to the kernel, but also deep in Android system roots.

TODO:

- continue the portable WM8994 sound development. Next step, Parametric EQ.

- a lot about screen colors, first to avoid those purple deviations in dark greys

- a learning & adaptive auto-brightness implementation

- touch screen adjustments (space bar madness!)

Voodoo sound repository - sound patches only branch:

https://github.com/project-voodoo/linux_samsung/tree/nexus-s-voodoo-sound

As I publish only sound patchs on this branch, you'll be able to git pull / git merge it safely, you won't get any garbage from it.

Same for color/screen patches:

[Nexus S Android Development] dingdonghei:
Haven't tested it out yet, but went ahead and bought the voodoo control donate app for your work, mate. Any FAQs for a guy whos totally green on sound and sound adjusting? Wanna play around a bit, but basically I've got no idea what I'm doing... :)

EDIT: Spotify sounds AWESOME now. Thanks! Hope this gets implemented in CM ASAP! Also I kinda figured out the options in the control app for myself, so no FAQ necessary =)
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
This is no bass boost option in Voodoo sound.

However, if you think about the CyanogenMod feature, it's extremely weak and poorly implemented, that's why it saturates.

The future Voodoo sound hardware EQ will never saturate or introduce distortion, you can bet on that.
[Nexus S Android Development] aa007:
Oh ... and do you know when you add this feature? This month or later?

Because I literally need bass boost - I can't live without that :)

But I found out, that application Equalizer delivers really cool results with Voodoo - if I set Digital vol to 10/15 and Analog output level to -6dB then the results are quite good.

So maybe before the EQ feature is released, you can add settings to the Voodoo Control - to force the digital vol. to 10/15 and then force analog vol. keys to control the analog volume...
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
The hardware EQ implementation will be able to really supersede the software ones because I have access to the whole digital & analog parameters, and even dynamics range compression if needed for a balanced gain compensation.

This is why I'm very confident about the quality of the future implementation ;)

Optimized hardware bass boost will come first, but I cannot give ETA.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
So there is even more potential in this chip?

Nice of Samsing to include it, and nice of you to work on it ^^
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Yeah this chip has a tremendous potential, and would need years of work to fully utilize its power :D
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Will you get the Galaxy S II btw?
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Possibly now that I know the bootloader will be open.

But I don't have the budget yet, and wonder what's the audio hardware will be (not found out yet!)
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
What if its an even better chip? :P

You never know.

But if they include the chips HTC use, im gonna stay away XP
[Nexus S Android Development] Androyed:
I'm finally rooted, CM7 with netarchy kernel. That also means Voodoo Sound! Just tried it and it's awesome. I have 2 questions though.

1. What's with the weird volume control? When I press volume down, the media volume will only go 1 step down (it only displays to go 1 step down), so if I press another time it won't go down any further. But the voodoo sound volume does go down. Can I just control my media volume, without the voodoo bar below popping up all the time?

2. I may be a nitpick, but I don't like too much icons in my notificationbar. Is there a way to get rid of the voodoo notification icon when I have my headphones plugged in?
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Yes, disable the Volume key mapping hack.
[Nexus S Android Development] Androyed:
Thanks! This doesn't affect sound quality?
[Nexus S Android Development] Androyed:
One of the problems with root access is that you can majorly screw things up. I guess thats why you dont have root access out of the box. With voodoo sound you can put the volume VERY high. I assume you can blow up the speakers. So how high can I put it? If I listen with the in-ear headphones the volume is high enough. But some extra power for the speaker would be cool!
[Nexus S Android Development] bringonblink:
I got ya covered

http://androidaudiohacks.com/home/volume-gingerbread/download

Get the 1.6.2 version :)

Be careful though as you can crank the speaker REAL loud so blow it is a very real possibility
[Nexus S Android Development] Androyed:
I dont need a hack, i already have one! With voodoo control you can crank up the volume a lot. I'm just asking what the limit is so that i dont blow up my speakers.
[Nexus S Android Development] bringonblink:
Oh sorry lol, but from my understanding with voo doo control the option to increase volume only affects headphones
[Nexus S Android Development] kongkkm:
I got some problem with the voodoo control app.

With my original earphone for nexus s, when i open the music app, all the songs will give different output (some too soft, some distorted, etc). I play around with the setting in the voodoo control but non of it give me desire output ( The sound mainly change when i check the Mono downmix option). May I know what's wrong with it?
[Nexus S Android Development] Si_NZ:
Do you use any DSP? Like the one in CM7?
[Nexus S Android Development] kongkkm:
I don't think I use any of that. Using rAv Rom 1.1 and flash with jame bond kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
This is correct, it doesn't affect the Speaker
[Nexus S Android Development] sedde:
supercurio, it is possible to make your voodoo application to save profiles the way the user does it so you wont have to remake the colours everytime you flash another rom ?
[Nexus S Android Development] bringonblink:
Notepad! XD

Kidding, good idea though
[Nexus S Android Development] sedde:
i was using screenshots till now, but its annoying as hell, but something like that is good isnt it ?
[Nexus S Android Development] Androyed:
Anyone else hear the static noise after pausing a song? It goes away after two seconds, but I don't know if it's there all the time. You can hear it the best when pausing a song. Then after two seconds it will go away. It is defenitely a problem of Voodoo sound because I noticed it yesterday and now I have the stock kernel again and I can't hear it anymore.

Anyone else with this problem? Or do I have to disable/enable a setting?
[Nexus S Android Development] Androyed:
I'm the one who is supposed to be sorry! You're right, I wasn't reading.

Thanks for your help!
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
I noticed that when I had Voodoo sound the hissing was gone, but when I paused a song there was a low hissing that disappeared quickly.

With stock the hissing was always there.
[Nexus S Android Development] Androyed:
I have no hissing with stock at all. I dont know if the hissing is always there with voodoo, i have to use a mp3 with complete silence for that.
[Nexus S Android Development] Androyed:
According to some people there is indeed some hiss with voodoo, but it would go away in later versions. Other people, including supercurio, say that voodoo fixes the hiss completely. I had no hiss before, and now i have, so its just the other way around! Whatever analog output setting i use, i hear a hiss after pausing a song and then after 2 seconds it goes away with a 'pop'. So whats the problem? Is the SGS voodoo mod in a later version? I've heard supercurio saying that to use the full potential of this wolfson chip would take years (too bad :(), so maybe the SGS voodoo is a little more evolved.

A solution would be nice, but Im especially curious why it makes a hissing sound while it first didnt. Thanks in advance!
[Nexus S Android Development] Androyed:
Btw the hissing is always therw, whatever digital or analog sound output i use (even when i turn sound off). There just gotta be some music/sound playing to hear it. When u pause the music or stop the app that makes sound, the hissing will go away within 2 sec with a 'pop'. You can hear the hissing best when changing call volume or when media volume is on silent.

UPDATE: When watching a south park video online, i even heard a peeping noise when no one was talking.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
It probably differs from headsets...
[Nexus S Android Development] Androyed:
I have the standard headset...
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Uhhh, buy a new one? :P
[Nexus S Android Development] Androyed:
I don't understand, why would I? The headset is fine. Like I said before, it's the Voodoo Sound mod that's making a hiss noise! When I use stock kernel, I don't hear hissing at all.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
That's weird...

For me it's the opposite :rolleyes:
[Nexus S Android Development] Androyed:
I put the analog volume down a little and now its much better. Anyone knows what the standard is?
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
There is no real standard.

It depends on where you find it comfortable.

For me its 32 when I'm not using it, so I don't get a shock when i turn the music on.

But it's on 22 when I listen to music
[Nexus S Android Development] Androyed:
I suppose thats with full digital volume? Cause i dont always listen at the same volume. When i listen at school the volume is very low. I havent forced analog volume keys btw
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
I recommend you force analog volume keys.
[Nexus S Android Development] cgi101:
I would love love love to see a touchscreen fix to deal with spacebar madness. My Nexus S does not respond to touch at the lower pixels of the screen. You have to touch the spacebar at least 1/3 of the way up it or higher, or else your touch isn't recognized. I have a Galaxy S Captivate that recognizes screen touch / spacebar touch as SOON as ANY part of your finger touches the visible spacebar key.

I hate my Nexus S because half of the times I hit space my touch isn't recognized. When I type fast my words end up stuck together.

I'm assuming other Nexus S owners are still having this problem, even with Android 2.3.3 (which is what my i9020a came with)?
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
I don't have this problem on mine (i9020)
[Nexus S Android Development] cgi101:
Sucks if my phone is defective then :( I only recently bought it. I'm at the stage in the warranty now where a replacement will be refurbished... and I've had the worst luck in the past with other refurb replacements from my carrier =\
[Nexus S Android Development] Emilius:
I am using Bluetooth headphones. I am wondering if in the future voodoo improvements will apply to Bluetooth too.
[Nexus S Android Development] peabody42:
just wanted to put my two cents in:

have had problems where people can't hear me when i call them. i have voodoo sound kernal 9. if i uncheck hi-fi record, all of a sudden people can hear me just fine.

just be plagued with people complaining about barely able to hear me unless i'm speaking really loudly into the mic. this seems to have fixed it.
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
Hi peabody42.

Can you tell me more about the ROM/kernel and device you are using?

Also, can you retry to confirm its an issue, like by calling your own number and leaving you a voicemail message?

It's the first time I receive such report and also it looks more like a coincidence due how Voodoo sound works at low-level.
[Nexus S Android Development] Emilius:
Is it something wrong with my question?
[Nexus S Android Development] supercurio:
No, but the answer is no, its has never been listed as supported.

Bluetooth devices are fully independent & separate hardware.
