Try Firefox 7, it might change your mind. :rolleyes: Reviews by tech websites and some users have reported the newest FF being faster and lighter than Chrome. I can't vouch for the because I never used Chrome on a regular basis, but it's definitely light, the version that finally got me to upgrade after holding on to FF 3.6 for months.

As for mobile browsers, the AOSP browser uses the same engines as Chrome, so it's already like having chrome in our phone. That said, with Opera Mini & Dolphin around I see no reason why I should use a buggy Fennec that doesn't officially support my phone.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] IamIrene:

o.O, right now using opera mini and stock browser on phone :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bigsupersquid:
if you really want firefox, you can run debian in a chroot and use iceweasel (firefox 3.5)

or you can run old version of ubuntu that still supports armv6 in chroot and use straight-up firefox.

it's a little slow in the vnc viewer, and you can't deal with much media because of the speed, but it handles uploads and downloads way better than stock android browser, and opens pages that android's chrome-ish browser won't.

I use iceweasel when I can't get to something with the stock browser.

just my 2 cents, since this topic's been pulled from the graveyard for discussion.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] IamIrene:

btw off course if provide please provide latest version which 7.0

and am in one for debian on the optimus v

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1129803

you can use the debian stable version (6.0) I uploaded and then upgrade once it's running on your phone, or you'll have to debootstrap your own image using wheezy (is wheezy 7.0?) or sid as you prefer, instead of squeeze, as laid out in the O-One thread above.

I'm not sure about ubuntu, which you'd need for an up-to-date firefox release, but you can search for ubuntu filesystem chroot images, they're around too.
[GT540 Optimus General] max1919:
hi guys! I'm trying to modify cyanogen 2.2 rom for gt540, I did few things and they work, but now I have problem that I don't know how to solve:

I'm trying to install lgemail on 2.2. I can install app (copy it to /system/app/), but I can not run it... I thought problem is lib files so I copied libemailcore.so and libemailinterface.so into lib folder, but result is same...

can somebody explain me how to make lgemail work? please...

sry about my bad English.
[GT540 Optimus General] max1919:
I used lgemail from quarx black rom. I also tried lgemail from 1.6, but I can not install it :/

I think there was no deodexed files in quarx rom...

any other ideas?

hmm, can someone upload lgmail from stock 2.1, maybe this one from quarx system is modified...

And there is one more problem: I'm from Croatia, so I'd like to have my rom translated into my language... Problem is that only few things in cyanogen mod are translated, is there any way I can translate whole rom?
[GT540 Optimus General] max1919:
ok... I figured out how to translate rom (or part of rom):

you need to modify system apps, like settings.apk, and add in them files with your language.

That should work in theory, but when I tried to do that I got stuck: I can unpack settings.apk with apktool, I can also edit files, but I can not repack it in apk file.

I got this message:

I: Checking whether sources has changed...

I: Smaling...

W: Could not find resources

I: Building apk file...

Why it can not find resources?
[GT540 Optimus General] max1919:
tnx, I'll try

I can not use it because adb isn't working on my ubuntu :/ I'm not sure why
[GT540 Optimus General] fishears:
Sorry. Posted wrong file
[GT540 Optimus General] Stinger_eos:
Hi, i made it work sometimes before when started using CM 6.

you have to copy, from a 2.1, some folders and .lib files besides the /system/app apk file. i cant recall where all that folders and files are now, but i can post it later in here if you want. I remember that some where in /data, and all the files in the mobile that where name XT9 are needed. But there where more.

This metod can make Lgime work on 2.2 with Portuguese, my case, and user dictionary fully working, but i dont think it can work as metod ti make Lgime a pre-instaled app.

oh and, sorry for my english.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] badboi_zero:
Yeah I heard you can use Optimus S roms, even. But you would have to remap the buttons since the Home and Menu buttons are switched between the two versions.

Other than that, I do recommend using mmmark111's RodimusROM. Been working fine for me.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jontornblom:
On some roms I get over half of my calls all garbled up. Usually on the other end. Someone is like "your phone sounds crazy! Call me back." It keeps happening until a reboot.

Any idea what causes this? Is it a kernel thing, a radio image thing?

Like I said, it only seems to happen with certain roms.

Thanks if you have any insight!!

This has been happening to my room mate with her Desire Z on Bell. I have read about a few others having the same issue and even having their phones replaced 2 or 3 times and it still happens to them. I am in the process of trying to troubleshoot or at least narrow down the problem

I hope that any others having the issue can post here as well, hopefully we can narrow down what causes it and find a fix, it is driving my room mate nuts.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donn123:
I just received my 43 yesterday and I have to say text input is appallingly bad IMO. It doesn't seem to be any better portrait or landscape. Entering 15 character semi-complex passwords is nearly impossible to do reliably.

Are there replacement keyboards that make text entry bearable on the 43's resistive touch screen?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zinloos1:
I don't fully understand what your problem is with the keyboard, I guess that you mean that it is not responsive enough? Maybe you can use swype, that works overall. Do not own this device yet, so can't really relate to your problem.

Offtopic: How do you like the A43IT overall? Is it good?

Edit: Heard a few people say that Ultra Keyboard is great on the A43IT, just type it in to google and download it for Android.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donn123:
1/ the touch screen is very poor. I hit the letter "t" and will get get "g" or "d" and even "w".

2/ i have to type with my nail... a far cry from the speed i can thumb type on my ipod touch.

3/ edge of the screen is particularly inaccurate in portrait mode.

My overall impressions can be summed up as follows, "390' hit to right field.......foul".
[Quantum General] sure haven't:
I love how at this point in time, what smartphone to get is now coming down to hardware. As we can all assume at this point that whichever one you choose, you're basically getting great software and performance (iphone, android included).

I got my quantum on Friday, and just yesterday I heard that the HD7 is coming to Bell Feb 10. Now, with Bell here in Ontario, they have a "30 minutes talk time or under 15 days return" policy. I'm still within that, so technically I could return this, and get the HD7 when it comes out.

So I was considering it and looked up some in depth hardware reviews on the HD7. Reviews aside, I pretty much had my mind made up to stay with the quantum (even though I barely use the keyboard), simply because I absolutely love the feel and build of this phone. It's solid as a brick. And I actually prefer my phones on the heavy side. It just feels like you're holding something great, instead of a cheap plasticy feeling. The rubber siding, the metal back, feels great in the hand. I came from an Omnia 2, and I don't notice the smaller screen. And the wp7 keyboard is the best I've ever used, hands down. Blows the iOS one out of the water any day of the week. I can type almost as fast on it as I can on a desktop. It's fantastic.

And the HD7 has some bad design qualities that would make me stay away in any case (the crack in the back case, the kick stand not fully closing). Not to mention a lower pixel density that would probably mean a little worse experience visually speaking.

I mean, to each his own, but I just gotta say I am so impressed with the build of this phone, I'll be sticking with it for a long long time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xpstyle36:
Hi, i have just flashed the Ultimate ROM to my SGS, and its great. I like the ROM and i have no complaints. But there is a major problem happening with the syncing of my gmail contacts, under the contacts list it just has everyone's numbers and there are no names, where the names should be there are just numbers. I have checked under all the display settings on the ROM and none of the say anything about displaying names, is there anything i can do to get it back, because I cannot use my phone if everyones numbers have no names :( and I dont wanna flash back as i like this ROM.

Thanks in Advanced ^^

Thanks in advance

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
I happily sold my Nexus One for the G2 (which I have a Desire Z ROM on) and couldn't be happier. IMO, the screens are about equal. I don't miss my Nexus' screen at all, and the keyboard is phenomenal.

As for speed, that's obviously going to depend on a number of variables. I run my G2 overclocked to 1.2GHz most of the time and have no complaints in terms of speed. I get 12-15h of moderate use out of the battery at this speed, so that works for me. You can currently safely overclock the G2 to 1.5GHz, though you'll see a drain in battery at those speeds. The G2 out of the box even (800MHZ) is pretty snappy, comparable to the Nexus.

In short, you won't be disappointed.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HotShotAzn:
I'm at 1.5 Ghz on CM6.1 and I would say I get better battery life than stock (.5% drain per hour idle, average of 1.5% drain per hour with moderate use).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emmib:
I know that is is probably a stupid or anmoying question, but what do you mean by moderate use?

I myself have twitter notifications every 10 minutes, plus some browsing, music playback and i often open the facebook app to update my notifications

Sent from my Nexus One
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HotShotAzn:
Not a stupid question at all.

Moderate use (average, per hour):

- 20 texts (incoming/outgoing)

- 10 minutes of web

- 5 minutes of phone call

- Facebook app (4 or 5 times)

- 10 minutes (or so) of games.

Man, it would seem like I'm always on my phone, but I'm not. Can't exactly play Angry Birds while sitting across the meeting table from the boss.

But in all seriousness, I went a full 48 hours and used 80%. That's with about an hour and a half total worth of PSX and SNES emulators.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stshannon:
I upgraded from a Nexus One (which is now my wifes phone) to the G2.

Impressions out of the box, pre-root/CM6.1:

At stock 800Mhz, i could immediately tell it was "snappier" then the Nexus One OC'd at 1.3Ghz. Meaning, scrolling from homescreen to homescreen, live wallpapers, opening of applications, running graphic intense games, etc, etc ... All felt smoother/quicker.

The BIG difference i noticed (again, out of the box) was the multi-touch/touchscreen.

Take Maps for instance, or even pinch zooming in the browser. This experience was GREATLY improved. I think this is due to the type of screen, more-so then a software or CPU speed improvement. Pinch Zooming, or two finger tilting, or two finger rotating in maps was MUCH more reactive.

Impressions out of the box, post-root/CM6.1:

Wholey cows this thing is FAST. OC'd to 1.5mhz, this thing is insanely fast. That's it in a nutshell, FAST.

Granted, i only had the thing out of the box for a grand total of about 5 minutes before i began my rooting and throwing CM on it, but still.

Hard Keyboard: For me (and I'm no blogger, i type on this thing occasionally) its no big deal. I came from a G1 to the Nexus One, and didn't miss the Hard Keyboard, and going form the Nexus One to this G2, I'm not so great full i have one either. However, there are times I'm thankful i have one, and it comes in handy, definitely. For someone like you, who probably types a lot on the phone, I would have to imagine it would make a huge difference. As far as typing on the keyboard, its not terrible. The biggest complaint for most, is the lack of room above the top row of keys and the phone hardware, leaving no room for fingers to type easily on the top row.... is GONE on this phone. The hinge design allows for PLENTY of room for the top row of keys to be easily pressed. The other big complaint about hard keyboards is the lack of a dedicated Number row, which this phone falls victim to. You can easily double-tap the ALT key to switch to the numbers, and to me its not that big of a deal, but some hard core hard-keyboard users may find this a bother.

Okay, so coming form a Nexus One, which i absolutely LOVED.... actually, ill say still love, am i happy with the G2... DEFINITELY.

If there was ONE thing i HAD to point out that i like the Nexus One more-so then the G2, it would be Weight, and Thickness. Both these things are caused by the hard keyboard, and the G2 is significantly heavier then the Nexus One. Can i get over it, definitely. But anytime i hold my wife's phone now (remember, she has the Nexus One now), I'm like wow, this thing really WAS light and thin.

Conclusion, you'll be happy with the G2.

[Captivate General] nbarsotti:
From reading various threads and posts I have been trying to figure out if any phones other than the SGH-I897 contain the Audience A1026 chip. DesignGear claims that the SGH-I896 does NOT have that chip and the sound suppression option listed in the rom is a software feature. Does the GT-i9010 or the GT-i9088 contain the chip? If its true that the SGH-I897 is the only phone that does have the chip than it is really sad that we don't have any an official 2.2 update and the source code. With that said I believe the Nexus One does have an Audience A1026 chip and it has full source code available. Would it be possible for the great devs around here to add A1026 support to a custom rom using Nexus One code?
[Captivate General] silverslotcar:
I think the I897 Captivate is the only one in the whole line of Galaxy S phones that uses the chip you speak of.
[Captivate General] nbarsotti:
too much variation is a problem

I have to believe the sheer number of variations of Galaxy S phones is part of Samsung's problem with getting us timely updates. With virtually every carrier in the world getting their own physically unique Galaxy S phone that has to have a impact in the speed and quality of how they release updates. Apple releases 1 phone at a time. Samsung probably is probably well past 10 different Galaxy S phones at this time. :(

It is the Giorgio Armani battery that was released on the Giorgio Armani Galaxy S version in Italy this month. Hope they are cheap cause im getting 1 or 2 when they come out. :)

Also to anyone that asks: 10% increases over stock

Note though that if you have had your phone for 6 months like me now, your old battery is likely decreased from the 1500mah it was when new so the new 1650 mah may seem like more than 10% for some.
