The title says it all
I've tried the "about:debug" -method and it seems it's not working with ics browser. Any other ways to make the browser to act like desktop chrome?
In the menu (3 vertical dots top right of the screen), there is an option "Request Desktop Site", check that box. Its possible it may be under settings (im using a newer release, i don't remember where it was before (if it even moved))

Forgot to mention; that would also work if the option you just recommended could be made permanently "on" by default for all sites. Now I have to manually enable it every time I access sites.

ah, that is irritating. You could give Dolphin Browser HD (or Mini) a try; in the options you can set the user agent to desktop, iphone, ipad, or custom (!!)

No, not really, but now I know your question: how to make desktop user agent as default. Could have been clearer

I guess you're right.
If someone knows how to change the UA-string from the source, I could try to compile modded browser myself.
to make stock browser default desktop mode .
turn off wifi.
open browser.
top URL bar. TYPE, "about:debug" press enter or go
open the menu ,
click on setting
click Debug
Click UAString
then set to Desktop.
and your done.
when you set the default user agent to desktop can you request the mobile site?
EDIT:
Never Mind... It does not, but it appears that after doing this the debug option stays in the settings so I can switch back and forth between user agents now. Nice.

thats exactly what i was going to say.
I received an upgrade to 4.0.2 and had to redo this in my browser. The updated seems to have wiped it for some reason.

I should put the ICS browser on the market with the debug menu enabled and renamed. Takes like 2 lines of code
Honestly, this stock rom is pretty ****ing good. I am actually able to disable 80% of the bloat nonsense, and its smooth as hell out of the box. It was able to connect to my old, obscure TV in two tries (took 20 seconds) and everything is amazing. You know what I hate the most? Not having adaway. Thats saying something. Good job HTC and verizon for not making another droid DNA stock rom disaster.
I'm enjoying the stock Rom also. It's snappy as hell. Quick question, what is the best way to disable the vzw bloat. Thanks.
A lot of people don't know about it, but if you go to Settings>Apps and then All Apps, you can click an app and there's an option to disable a lot of them, which as far as I can tell is basically like uninstalling them except the app is still on your phone. It doesn't run or show in the tray though. Really awesome feature, debloating a phone without root is sweet.

Do not forget to get access to the "Developer Options" menu in Settings. There are some really amazing options in there, such as Force GPU Rendering, Force 4x MSAA, control over the phone animations, and one of my personal favorites - "Background Process Limit"
To access the "Developer Options" go to Settings > About > Software > More > Build Number - Once you get to "Build Number" start tapping in-between to the two lines that contain the Build Number information. After a number of taps you will get a message saying you are x taps to becoming a developer, keep tapping until it tells you that you are a developer. Once you get the notification/popup saying you are a developer, head back to the main menu in settings and look right about "Software Update" and below "Backup & Reset" you should now have "Developer Options". Enjoy the added features.

I wouldn't mind not having root except I can't get helium to actually restore my backups. It says successful, but no game data is restored.
Yeah, and I definitely agree about the ads. God, I forgot how bad they can be.
What's wrong with the DNA stock ROM? Kids have unrooted stock DNA's and it seems fine when I have to fix or update something for them.

It was my old phone. Thankfully it came with the 1.15 rom instead of 2.04(before moonshine). The stock rom was bloated to all hell. Sense 4 was ugly and stupid, and the battery life was horrendous. When I put carbon on there, it was blazing fast and I got about 2+ days of battery life with 2+ hours of screen on time.

I second this request.
There is no reason to force msaa with the resolution so high and forcing gpu rendering will probably decrease your battery life for no performance gains.

Besides being annoyed by ads and not being able to disable certain stuff, I am annoyed at not being able to change my DPI. I had it lowered to 200 on my S3 and Note 2. I hate big, fat icons and want to be able to fit more stuff on the screen.
I would also really like to be able to install Cerberus and some other key root apps.
I'm really hoping this thing gets cracked soon so I can get back to Cyanogenmod.
Has anyone figured out how to get the wifi status notifcation out of the windowshade? I don't need to be constantly notified of my wifi status.

That would be awesome. A lot of us on here are just flashaholics and not really down with all the lingo that goes along with Android so I think that would be cool of Ya. As far as benchmark I've used antutu before. I'll take all the information you're willing to write down LOL. Thanks again!

How is everyone's scrolling on the g7?
It seems like in almost all apps (and even in settings) whenever I scroll down, sometimes the phone registers a small "scroll up". This results in very jumpy scrolling. Mostly noticeable in the Facebook app because when that app detects a small scroll up, it drops the search bar down. Youtube is like this as well. This doesn't appear to be an app specific problem.
I'm unable to find any other comments on internet about this problem....except people on the Pixel 2 apparently can have this problem. Should I send this back for a new device or is this a problem with the device and I have to live with it?
Settings/Developer Options/ tick on "Force GPU Rendering", Disable HW Overlays" makes the 2018's best phone smoother/snappier. If root available try L Speed/fstrim apps/Entropy found on Play Store. Install a custom kernel and play with kernel adiutor app. Install AdBlock too.

Thanks for the reply. No root available,
I did try the two settings but they do not appear to fix/remedy the issue. Shall I try get a replacement device?
First thanks to everyone for their help on this small project.
This task will strictly run at 60hz, but once you select the apps you want it to run 90hz on it will jump up to 90. This will revert back once you exit the app you've enabled 90 on
Directions
-Once the profile is imported make sure it is enabled.
-Turn off smooth display
-To choose your apps tap on the profiles name -> tap choose apps.
-Once you have selected your apps make sure you save the changes by tapping the check on the top of your screen.

If you want All Apps then I'm assuming togging on the force switch in Dev settings will accomplish that. Unless I'm not understanding...

Not all apps with switch on. In Tasker, when select the apps, it does not have all of the apps listed. To make all apps show up in the list of apps?

Yes it works, even on Android 11, I can confirm that. (Enable show refresh rate in developer settings, there you can monitor it the best) Make sure Tasker can access root.
Will this work with custom rom's or only the "stock" ones? Ie what is it changing to set the display rate? I have a tasker profile setup for this that uses Global `oneplus_screen_refresh_rate` but not sure that's gonna be available on an aosp related rom.
*update* Works great on my custom Android 11 rom on a oneplus 7 pro. Thanks Kevtrejo37
Just got the S21 FE 5G and did a factory reset.
Are there any apps I should uninstall/disable or any settings I should change for best performance? This is my first Samsung phone.
Also, I'm going from a non-Samsung phone to this. Should I use Smart Switch or Google Backup?
Hi there.
The most valuable advice I can give you is to go to Settings>Battery and device care>Click on Battery>Scroll down to "Background usage limits">Deep sleeping apps. Add any app that you do not want to run in the background. Those apps that you add will only work when you open them. Keep in mind that they will not receive updates or notifications.
Also, if you want the phone to feel snappier, go to Settings>About phone>Software Information>Tap 7 times on Build Number to enable developer settings. After that go to Settings> Developer options and turn off "Window animation scale", "Transition animation scale" and "Animator duration scale".
As for backup, I have no idea what to recommend. I usually just copy everything to a SSD and paste it to the new phone ). Contacts and conversations usually take care of themselves as they are synced with my google account.

I did not do any of the 'ADB Optimisations.' I mainly focused on the 'Removing Bloatware' section. It's possible to restore any component - if the need arises. It's also mentioned that you should 'restore all apps before updating,' but I have not done so and encountered no problems.
I also agree with turning off the adaptive battery from that guide. You can also turn on the enhanced processing while at it. I am not sure if the battery charge will suffer, but I definetly feel the phone is more responsive. Especially when scrolling pages.

Would putting the bloatware in "deep sleep" accomplish the same thing as disabling?

Yes, but you can't put all the apps in deep sleep, you can disable some of them only through adb.

Well, I mentioned you can restore anything that you notice is missing and need. You can restore any apk in AppControl. I believe the SoundAlive service restores Dolby Atmos support. Search for it among the deleted items in AppControl, right-click and restore.
