Hi,
Here I show you how to create custom local homepage for the stock web browser.
So, basically, when you start the web browser, it will load this custom web page.
This is very useful, for example: You can create quick shortcuts for all your frequent visit of websites.
(1) Download the attached "bookmark.zip" and put it in the a folder, for example \Download
(2) Extract the content, for example in \Download\bookmark
After this second step, you can access \Download\bookmark\bookmark.html
(3) Open the stock web browser, go to:
Settings --> General --> Set homepage
(4) Choose "Other"
(5) Set to:
file:///sdcard/Download/bookmark/bookmark.html
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There you go!
You can modify the bookmark.html as you pleased.
bookmark.zip has been updated.
Disable page zoom added:
Remove the "initial-scale=1" in the bookmark.html as shown here:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=0"/>
There is already a most visited sites option in the browser so I'm not too sure why I would want to do this?
Admittedly this isn't really needed, but is quite cool. I've just started learning html/css. So I will have a play with it later.

Because this is the fastest way to get all your favorite websites!
Start the web browser and it is all there, right in front of you ... With all the thumbnails, ready to visit
There, two clicks you got the page.
Even better, when you go back by clicking the back button, you will see all those shortcuts again
Efficient ... Fast ...
And ... You can customize the way you want!
On the other hand, your way is too slow.
You need to start the browser, long click the back button, click the most visited, and you might need to scroll ...

Incorrect. There is a 'most visited sites' homepage you can assign in the settings. Plus if you want to talk about efficiency for certain sites why don't you just add a bookmark widget to the desktop?
i will try this.thank you
Right, you right about that most visited as homepage ...
But, the order can change at any time depending on your frequent visit. Also, I dont like the white background that consume more battery power.
With my way, I can have fixed loaction of thumbnails which for sure easier to navigate.
And because of that, we can have flexibility to arrange the thumbnails the way we want
Bookmark widget ... problem is that I must swipe to that home, and I dont like to clutter my launcher! Dont forget that widget consume more memory and might slow down your launcher if redraw is required!
So, still, my solution is better, faster, more flexible

Alright you win . Have you tried allowing the table to use 100% instead of defining the number of pixels?

Hi,
See the attached screenshot.
Do you know how to format the <table> or use CSS so it will utilize the whole screen?
I set the <table> width to 720px but that does not help.
So, please please please ... if you are HTML/CSS expert ... help us!
Thank you

Is this what you mean???
<table> width 100% does not work.
But, I found it ... We need to prevent "zoom" which can be done using this:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=0"/>
bookmark.zip has been updated in the first post.

This will give you the correct view
Anyone else notice the new Chrome Beta not launching apps when appropriate links on clicked? For instance, clicking a Map or Market link in search results used to give you the choice to launch the corresponding app or open in the browser. For me, Chrome doesn't give that option.

If you turn off NoScript, do you see them?
Try to allow *.xda-developers.com for your Javascript.
I'll give that a shot. Oddly, sometimes if I refresh the page they show up... sometimes
I also can't see any attachments for any threads. I noticed this about 2 weeks ago (or so). I figured it was just me but I see that it is still happening. I'm using Chrome.
I'm having the same problem, also using Chrome. Anybody figure out a fix for this?
Edit:
AdBlockPlus was doing it
Thanks geniustheanimal.
I added forum.xda-developers.com to the whitelist in Adblock Plus and now it works!

Disable wysiwyg in xda settings and you'll be able to see those, also there's a toggle button to switch the editor mode in ffox when posting a reply. That's the plus side of using something other than chrome, wysiwyg does not work on chrome without an extension. I prefer chrome though.

If I am not mistaken that problem exists only when we set xda to "xda 2013 beta" format at the bottom. I think all other display formats, including "xda 2013 beta-1024", work okay.

Yup it happens only with the 2013 theme, i don't use the 1024 version. Also switching between themes when that happens will temporarily fix it. But it's a pita to do that always.
We've been hard at work on a complete redesign of the XDA Forums and Portal. We wanted to build something that was clean, modern, fast, and that could manage to include a lot of useful functionality without feeling cluttered. While we're not finished with the new forum template, which we're calling "XDA 2015", we're close enough that XDA members that want to can use the new template and help us find bugs and other issues before we make it the default template for all users. :good: :good:
To see the new forum template click this link. You can always go back to the previous 2013 template (or any of our styles) with the style-picker in the bottom left corner of all forum pages.
Over the coming weeks, we'll be making many more changes to XDA 2015 to improve performance, readability, and functionality. We also have a few surprises coming that aren't ready just yet. :highfive:
This beta is only for the desktop version of the site, as the mobile template is not yet ready for testing. Please mention any bugs you find or requests you have in this thread.
Thanks really much but I can't see any area for participated?

Looking really great on Desktop - on Firefox and Chrome.
IE - looking very dodgy though - spaces and gaps all over the place.
Can use all browsers myself, but some corporate types might be stuck with IE.
Just a quick one (And this may be me as a noob to the new theme) but how can I tell which sub forums have unread messages in and which don't.
Here is an example of what I see when looking at the Z1 device subforum
http://prntscr.com/4jts0m
Some of those threads (Like accessories) have no unread threads in them but some do (Like general) but they look the same to me.
Once in a subforum I can tell http://prntscr.com/4jtsj8 (Arrows show read and unread thread)
Hope this helps

Good looking theme & layout. Are there plans afoot for an official "dark" version?
Great work!
I like the changes to the colours and to the style. Actually, I didn't expect it to feel familiar from the start but it did, good job!
One question, is there a way to hide the column at the right? I can't seem to find how. If not, I hope that you will implement it in the future.

Blue is the default chrome highlight color. I don't think we're going to override that for other drop downs because it adds more code to the page. We styled the critical areas (like the header and some post areas).

Sorry should have thought about that, Win 7 pro and IE 9 - (Business laptop and v10 and 11 are blocked from installing still - some dodgy internal issues.)
Home desktop runs 11 and that looks really awesome - so perhaps it's not something to be too concerned about!!!
Note: 'Control Panel' button was my favorite 'Home' button for xda - Is it gone permanently? I hope not!!
LOVE the size limit and scroll bars for signatures. +++++ 1000

Control panel has been renamed to Settings.
IE9 does not display a lot of styles correctly - did some website stuff myself a couple of months back on my personal site and the amount of hacks needed to support IE9 fully is unreal (especially with HTML5 and CSS3).
Some more questions/remarks:
The portal doesn't appear to have changed for me. Not sure if this is normal, but the OP mentions the portal as well.
Could some of the older icons also be redesigned (e.g.
, thread icons, smileys…)? Might be just me, but they don't look consistent with the rest of the design.
Some icons don't use a transparent background (e.g.
). This is only noticeable when the post gets highlighted, so it's pretty minor.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/subscription.php -> no sidebar, but the sidebar's space is reserved.
The spacing between the top bar (breadcrumbs) and the thread/post/group/profile is a bit off (screenshot — see red bar for spacing difference).

You could use a userstyle (with e.g. the Stylish addon):
CSS:
[user=2561130]@Namespace[/user] url("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml");
[user=2410755]@-Moz-[/user]document domain("xda-developers.com"){
#sidepanel {display: none!important}
.page {margin-right: 18px!important}
}

Thanks for this. To address some issues:
1. Portal redesign is in development and will launch when 2015 forum design is complete
2. Yes, we intend to do something about the post icons
3. Noted that sidebar is missing from /subscription.php
4. Regarding the spacing issue, can you provide URL to the page?

Avatars also seem to be taking a lot of space in group threads.
This is great! I feel like I'm the captain in charge of a spaceship. It's a lot more immersive with the new top bar. I did notice that my signature has a scroll bar. I didn't think it was that long, but it's a great idea to keep from having to scroll through some pretty massive sigs. Now where'd that pesky Thanks button go? Oh on the right...
I am on mobile now, but this is what I see.
Using chrome and request desktop site is checked. Without desktop being checked, its worse.
I can't wait to see it on my PC.
+1 for 1024 version for lappy.
Thanks for all the time invested in XDA.

@GermainZ It looks like ads aren't loading for you
I don't know why but such useful browser feature doesn't really work on XDA-Developers forums. For example I see a itneresting new on the right side widget. I middle mouse button click it, but it won't open in a new tab, but instead it will open in the current tab just like I would left click it. I can give you numbers of similiar behaviours like that over the xda. That's really annoying.
Why is that happening and are you guys ever going to fix it?

Suggest you try an alternate browser.
Also try a fresh profile in case something in your current profile is the cause.
Its not working for me can you suggest me an other way ?
Does it still work correctly on other sites?
Not a Chrome user so can't really help with it.
General troubleshooting though. Try other sites. Try a clean profile.
Try other tools with the problem site.

It does work correctly on every other website. There's no "clean profile" option in chrome and I have no idea what do you mean by "other tools".
This issue happens with particular stuff, like the widget with the news on the right side of the thread view.

Just middle button pressed "XDA PORTAL POSTS" news and it still opens up on the same tab. Even on 2015 / 2015 dark theme :/
I'd actually would prefer to use the old theme either way so I could use Dark XDA Stylish theme by @GermainZ as for me it looks much better. Just a presonal preference.

We had additional google analytics code on those links, my guess is that was blocking the open in new tab option. We made this change a long time ago so this must have been long-standing.
