Doesn't work on GB, only ICS

OP, quit being a tool and simply get ICS. >.>
It's got hardware decoding and everything, you should be fine using it as a daily driver.

ICS is getting good now on the KF. Kernel 3.0 has hardware acceleration and all that good stuff.
And yeah, Dolphin Browser HD is a good alternative browser. I use it instead of the ICS browser.

It's not our kernel, it's chrome.

Scrolling and crashing are known bugs for chrome. It's just mainly optimized for the pure google devices for now.

Just wanted to clear things up.

I used to use Chrome on my CM9 powered GT 10.1, but I grew sick of the crashes and the absence of Flash support.
I have to be honest, I used Dolphin for a long time, have tried Opera and Firefox, but I always come back to the stock ICS browser.

Stock ICS browser is cool, but swap it out for AOSP browser...seems faster with a couple more features. Grab the one in the Frankenstein rom and while your there grab the AOSP MMS...much nicer.

That's what we were referencing. The stock AOSP browser my brother.
Honestly, CM9 feels much more stable than TW ICS right now. I suggest you guys try it out and go on IRC for today's build, which can't get any better

[Q] HOX Jelly Bean Browser Choice - Quick Controls don't work?

What browser are you guys using on your HOX with Jelly Bean?
I'm running tbalden's CM10 Alpha, and since it appears my favorite browser (ICS browser+) is still incompatible with JB, I'm interested in your browser choice. I really like ICS Browser+'s quick controls. They are a Labs feature in the stock browser, too, but for some reason they don't work on my HOX, they just don't show up.
Any input?

And there I went thinking the makers of Apex were making a browser and wondering why I couldn't find it on play or on the web.
Seriously, though, any ideas why neither the stock browser's quick controls nor those of the "Quick ICS Browser" don't work on my JB HOX?
Whoops yes! Completely missed that
I use Quick ICS browser. That's smooth etc etc and works perfectly with CM10

I get it to work sometimes, but it just doesn't recognize my gesture very well... :S I do like it a lot if it work smooth though!
Boat Browser
Just discovered Boat Browser and I love it. Text reformatting on pinch zoom (Settings ->Labs ->Text wrapping) is what I was looking for. (ICS Browser + still not working on JB)
Different UI is not bad IMO.

Rom for gaming + decent browser on locked bootloader

First of all i want to apologize if any of my questions seem a little noob
I have still a locked bootloader (dont want to avoid warranty) and if i understand correctly i can only install roms 2.3.4 based, since i can't change kernel right? Wich is ok, cause i think ICS is not good enough for gaming experience.
Best roms available, like Xperia NXT or DIxperia 2 are great, but i was wondering is it possible to have a decent default browser too?
I mean, the best option will be having the default ICS Xperia browser (i test it on xperia mini pro official), but i understand that it's not possible to have that kind of smoothnes without video acceleration, so only ICS? On this matter, how can the Galaxy 2 (when still on 2.3.6) had a very smooth default browser, whithout video acceleration?

Since i was talkink about smoothnes, it doesn't matter. Dolphin uses the same engine of default browser, it's basically a skin. So, your Dolphin is smooth as Opera Mobile?
The latest Dolphin beta uses their own engine.

you havent even tried other roms so cant really say NXT is the best

I can relate to needing the superior gaming of GB but missing the smooth browsing of ICS. And Opera Mobile being the best browser of a bad bunch on GB.
I'm a bit weird in liking a particular old version of Opera Mobile 11, why not try it? :fingers-crossed: I still think it's smoother than the new Dolphin beta and lets you scroll diagonally:
http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/download/temp/1310050386_Opera_Mobile_11.10.ADR-1107051709.apk
Honestly though, I ended up using Opera Mini since it's by far the fastest of all, and just keep whatever other full-fat browser around for when I need one. It's sad though cos I know from using ICS the device can do better.
Dont hate on me, i have tried CM7 and TA but this one is best, + i tried Gin2JB too, and it sucks for gaming.

Thanks. I haven't installed it yet though because I noticed that the files inside the .apk were last modified on 28/02/2008 6.33pm. If Jelly Bean only came out this year, how is that possible!?
stock apks are also dated to 2008. it's normal

Hey muzikarik,
It doesn't work when I replace the stock browser with this...
Even if I try to install it, it says, "error parsing package"
Where did you get that from?

I just presumed that the JB browser was the same on all Jelly Bean devices. Therefore, if someone with JB posted it, then anyone could use it.. Is that wrong?

I believe the only devices with official 4.2 right now use chrome as their default browser, i don't know if Google has made one for 4.2 like the previous ones.

Oh ok. That would explain why I haven't found it.
Having too many browser also can cause your browsing slow so just disable plug in because that also cause your browser to search for plug in that also can cause slow on your browser...stock browser usually fast...

Stock browser still in 4.2.2?

I use the 4.1.2 stock browser and i think thats the fastest and most stable browsers out there. I also like that i can have full screen
But i've heard that google plans or have replaced the stock browser with chrome in 4.2.2? Is that true? It the stock browser gone in the SGS4 with 4.2.2 fw?
Chrome for me is just super laggy and slow with no support for full screen

well on theory the browser is Samsung's stuff not google so i would like to believe that the browser will not be changed, it is really awesome and I talk with the experience of having had to change my stock browser in all my previous devices because they were terrible.
hope It helped to you, if someone know it for sure I'll be glad to read it.
