The edge zooming gesture in the stock browser is driving me crazy. Its the 'feature' where the browser changes the display zoom when you scroll near the edge of the screen.
I normally don't use the stock browser, but it is used as the embedded browser in applications such as Flipboard, Pulse, etc.
Is there any way to disable this scroll to zoom gesture?
I don't think you can. I've personally think it's great and convenient. But i'd rather zoom in like Google Maps where you double tap anywhere on the screen and while holding down with your second tap slide your fingers up or down to zoom.
I was trying to figure this out too.

So i am using CM7 and i love all the features that it brings, but i would find it cool if you could swipe between tabs of the phone app? Like you can swipe through photos in the gallery, it'd be a nice and funky feature IMO.
After the update I'm having trouble with browser scrolling. If I flick the browser vertically, it will also scroll side ways ever so slightly. Is there a way to restore the normal behavior? It use to be that if you flick vertically your page with scroll straight up and down, but now unless you get a perfectly vertical flick, it'll move in the exact direct your finger did, rather than guessing you were trying to scroll vertically.

I've been reading around... Apparently scrolling wallpaper was removed due to Apple 'patents'. Could this be another casualty of war?
Hi there,
I'm missing a page up/down button when browsing. Is there such a thing or maybe an app or a trick to get such a thing?
The volume buttons would be the most obvious choice.
I'm using Chrome in JB 4.1.1, but is keen on chancing browser just to get the function.

Hi.
I don't know when it was added, but in Chrome for Android you can do page up/down by tapping on the edge of a webpage.
It doesn't work when you're zoomed in, and of course you have to tap above or below the scrolling indicator's position.
Cheers,
Phil.
Hi Guys, bit of a noob.
Coming from iPhone, I could Quick Compose an SMS from anywhere using a designated shortcut using BiteSMS. In my case, I used the Volume buttons on iphone to activate the quick compose option.
Now, I wanted to know if this could be done on Android. Handcent etc have Quick Compose but its configured when you press the search button. However, the NOTE II doesnt have a hardware search button. So does anyone know how this could be done?
Bump
you could set up a shortcut in the quick command or set up a gesture in gmd gesture/pen control.

Just checked. That's not why I'm looking for. Thanks
Swipepad.
It's free. There are paid add ons, but the free version is good enough as is. You can essentially "swipe" from a chosen hotspot somewhere around the screen and have access to whatever apps or shortcuts you put there.
There are 10 possible hotspots along the screen edges: top right/left corner, bottom right/left corner, top, bottom, upper right/left, lower right/left.
The paid add ons include a keypad, widgets, or more space. No matter what app you are in, you can just swipe at the designated hotspot to access your swipepad right away. Even in games. You can adjust the size of the hotspot as well. Try choosing a hotspot reachable by your thumb.
No root necessary.
Aside from adding the quick compose option, try adding something like Aircalc (free, floating calculator) and a floating note app... you might not think you'd use it a lot, but trust me it is infinitely useful. You can use it in conjunction with Nova Launcher's shortcuts (recent apps, home, app drawer, notification drawer) for even easier one handed access as well.
Ok I've kinda found a solution.
ChopSms has the quick compose feature but in addition to using the search button as a shortcut you can also use the notification centre. So I've just gone for that. I can access the notification bar more or less from everywhere do that'll do me fine.
Can't Spare Two Fingers? Use This Secret Trick for Smooth Zooming in Google Maps with One Finger
Well, yesterday I saw this article which spoke of a new secret gesture that lets you zoom in and out smoothly on Google Maps without having to resort to the two-fingered pinch-to-zoom feature.
Apparently, there really is a (not-so-much-anymore) secret gesture forzooming in and out of Google Maps with just a single finger, and it works on both iOS and Android devices.
You all probably already know that if you just double-tap the map with one finger, you'll zoom in incrementally with each double-tap until you can't anymore. To zoom out, you'd double-tap with two fingers. But if you want the smooth scrolling capabilities without pinching, this is how you do it.
To zoom in, all you have to do is double-tap a location, but make sure to hold the second tap. Then just drag your finger up.
To zoom out, you can do the same thing, except you slide your finger down instead.
So old
