I read somewhere yesterday that the stock browser in 2.2 (Froyo) was almost as fast as the iOS Safari, but I had always used Dolphin on my EVO and Hero before that.
Well, I tried the stock browser yesterday( I'm using the latest Cyanogen Mod) and surely that thing is blazin! So much so that I made it my default browser.
Has anyone else tried the stock browser on Froyo? What did you think?
I love the stock browser in Froyo on CM6 I havent even bothered trying another one.
The stock browser in Froyo is 10.1 flash compatible out the box, correct?
Stock froyo is far, far faster than Dolphin Browser, as much as I love the additional features.
how many tabs are you allowed to have open?

It scored higher on the Acid3 test if I recall correctly and was virtually identical in speed to the iOS browser

This is the only reason I use dolphin, cause allowing only 3 tabs in the sense browser is way retarded.
Do you mean the sense froyo browser or just the stock froyo browser?

stock browser on CM6 is good. much faster than stock sense browser, BUT the scrolling is laggy. swipe down, short time passes, then it scrolls on screen. there's a delay between the swipe and the actual scrolling.

I've never had that problem with mine. Did you try setting plugins to "on-demand"? That reaaaally helps out with browser speed.

Unlikely (for now). We would need another MDPI device with Sense to receive a 2.2 update (Hero, Aria, Legend) or do lots of unnecessary work (Froyo Espresso i coming out this month most likely).
Try #TeamFenix 1.7 or Eugene's MYFROYO5.zip, both are excellent CM6 ports that run much faster than Sense.
Faster than Sense? I have yet to try a Slide ROM that is faster than stock expresso, seriously.

Huh? Are you serious? Have you tried the latest CM6 nightlies? They are *way* faster than stock espresso. Stock espresso is sluggish as hell, especially with Sense UI and that stupid "recent items" status bar pulldown display. Ugh.

You have got to be kidding. TeamFenix 1.7 is pretty fast and so is Eugene's Port. I love them but they dont have bluetooth audio yet. I know it seems silly but its a deal breaker for me as of now.

A clean install of CM6 8/10/10 nightly was noticeably slower than Espresso with all my apps. I think it may just be ADW. I HATE ADW Launcher. Has anyone used stock froyo launcher at all (like N1)? Is it any faster than ADW?

ADW.Launcher *is* a 'stock' launcher when you disable all the extended functionality... Just disable the action buttons, screen previews and all the other stuff.

ADW Launcher is faster, smaller, and in general speedier than the Froyo Launcher2.apk
Maybe you should close some applications?
Also, slinky try this:

SMR2 is just as fast as MYFROYO5. MYFROYO5 browser does not even come close to Espresso browser. MYFROYO5 camera/camcorder functionality is nowhere near the quality of Espresso's. Vignette covers my camera needs but the browser just plain sucks on MYFROYO5. Benchmarks definitely demonstrate huge performance increases with MYFROYO5 but somehow it doesn't seem to make a "real world" difference. Love the CM contacts and messaging but I don't mind the Espresso versions all that much. Sure love running MYFROYO5 and having great devs in the community that make it possible to do so. Going to keep MYFROYO5 on my device for a week ... gotta give it some time. Looking forward to an Espresso Froyo.

My load averages are far better on #TeamFenix 1.7 then they ever were on Espresso (with the same number of widgets, mind you).

I'm staying open to MYFROYO5 and I'm going to get a #TeamFenix 1.7 "setup" going as well so I can do a comparison. I think I'm way to familiar with the Espresso experience to fairly asses these great Froyo builds. Just glad that devs are still putting the effort and time into ROM's for our devices.
Ya need to try Aria sense rom-its faster than any nonsence rom period and its 2.1,why its so fast?I have no idea,only thing that keeps me from using it is that you cant install apps from uknown sources(att restriction).

You all need to chill. The guy wants a Sense ROM with 2.2, and you're all telling him that he DOESN'T want that. You're just as bad as some of the sales people at T-Mobile, telling people what they do and don't want when they know what they want.
Personally, I can't do without the integrated social networking in the phone. I've tried running CM's builds and such and I just can't do it, especially with the facebook contact sync broken and lack of the integrated friend stream, which is what this guy wants.
Just because you all can do without those things doesn't mean that other people are so quick to give them up.

Uhhhhhhhh
Download T-Mobile Social Buzz -- it provides Facebook, Flickr and Twitter contact integration on ANY rom. That's what I'm using right now on my CM6 nightly.

Hi everyone,
I don't know if it's just me, but i've noticed that when browsing the internet, in froyo roms scrolling, and pinch-zooming is quite choppy and not smooth at all ocmpared to sense roms.
Can something be done about it? or is it to do with the libraries and drivers used in these froyo roms?
well i won't my experience with froyo browsers was bad, but i can say nothing beats sense.. i'm using fallah rom (legend based sense rom), and browsing is a treat, add to that the quality video and pics this rom gives, it just fantastic.
I have to say that i havent got any problem with smoothness, but if u want, u can try out another browsers, like Miren Browser
i tried that and that is much more smoother than the stock one, but luckily i havent got any problem with the stock.
Smooth scrolling is in Sense roms. In non-Sense roms like CM is non-smooth scrolling
same here....i used tegro for a while with launcher pro only for the sense browser. i wonder why ....ui of cm is really fast...but browser ugly slow...
+1 here
any Froyo ROM I have used, the browser is very choppy and not smooth like Sense..
adding the flash (in)capability to that is the main reason I switched back to 2.1 sense roms..

Yep, flash incapability sucks, flash was one of the main reasons i bought a hero instead of a iphone.
I have been wanting to run a vanilla rom, but miss the pinch zoom function of my sense rom. When I enlarge the page it will realign the text so it is all within the window. Any way of getting this with vanilla?
Its usually in settings somewhere

What rom have you tried where it did not resize your internet browser? I am no expert but I've used at least six different rom's and never had an issue with my browser resizing. Also, with each rom that I have flashed I used Dolphin HD and my text realigns quite fine. I'm currently running Skyraider Athena 1.2 and browser resizing works.
Im currently using XboarderMOD AOSP Gingerbread v3.0.1 and there is a considerable amount of lag when scrolling back and forth through homescreens with the stock launcher. Ive found that this completely goes away once i open and close the app drawer, but the lag will come back once i open any app and go back to home. This is a problem ive had with many roms, the only one that doesnt do it is virtuous g-lite. Anyone else have this problem or know whats causing it and how to fix it?
I havent used this ROM, but I similarly experienced when used Virtuos Unity 1.31 this is maybe due to Sense 3.5. Maybe it is because the RAM is not enough. Remember DZ Ram is only 512 MB.
Now, I am back with the stock ROM and it runs smooth ....( but I m planning to flash VIrtuos Fusion 2.0)...

really? I have Flyer, it has 1 GB RAM and Sense UI is running so smooth
In DZ, I even overclocked it to 1.5 GHz (the same clock speed as Flyer) but still lagging
And, last night I flash Virtuos Sense 2.00. It runs so smooth... try it

Buy ADW EX, and then install this
https://market.android.com/details?id=kov.adwtheme.bakedgoods&hl=en
Very smooth
i prefer the stock launcher, adw, launcher pro, go launcher etc. are all choppy when i use live wallpapers, which is my reason for liking the stock launcher.

I think its a hardware acceleration problem (as in, there's no HW accel). The stock launcher won't be as smooth as aftermarket launchers that use different resources to increase smoothness.
See my signature...
When I was on GB ROMS:
- I always had the ability of Text-Zoom Reflow
- I could also double tap and the text would fit the screen
I was using the Stock Browser.
I forgot if reflow worked with Dolphin HD installed on GB ROMs.
I installed ICS FC07, as well as FC14:
- I no longer had reflow capability
- still had double tap text fit to screen capability
I flashed back to GB EL29 to get GPS back and:
- I had reflow once again using the stock browser. I didn't try Dolphin HD.
I flashed back to ICS FC07:
- No reflow with Stock Browser
- No reflow with Dolphin HD browser
I installed Opera Mobile Web Browser 12.0.1 and once again have:
- Touch-Zoom reflow
- and double tap to fit screen, which I always had.
It appears that Reflow does not work using Dolphin HD when on ICS ROMs
The above has been my experience, and as always ymmv, as individual
E4GT's work differently, even under the same conditions re: app, modem, kernel, etc. installs
Hoefully this will help someone out, as it took me a while to figure it out
Text-reflow also does not work for me in MIJJz BLEND ICS rom. I am using the stock browser. Any ideas?
