[Q] Where's the quick control??? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hey guys. I have been using the stock browser with quick control tab (the one you can enable bby going to setting > labs) but the stock browser on my S4 does not have this option. Can you tell me how I can get this feature to work on S4? Quick control tab was available on my Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7, and even Note 2. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

The stock browser is customized by the manufacturer for each device. Unfortunately I don't believe Samsung 'blessed' our devices with the lab features.

Thanks for your quick reply. That doesn't make any sense because all the other Samsung devices had that feature... Is there a way to enable that on our S4 by any chance? I even looked for different version of stock browser on the Google Play store but I couldn't find one.

Wish I could help you, but I'm not sure =/
I hate giving this kind of response, but have you tried Chrome yet? It runs *really* well on the S4. Chrome Beta is available too with the advanced lab features.

I like Chrome a lot but it's just not the same without the Labs feature. Does the Chrome Beta have it by any chance?

Yes chrome beta does

I don't know if I'm going crazy but Chrome Beta does NOT have the Labs option that enables the quick control feature. I just downloaded and tried it.

You are correct, they are not there. Very disappointing!

AOSP browser from ICS on N7 ?

Does anyone think it would be possible to install the default browser from ICS? The jelly bean browser is lacking the very useful and important "read" function that I loved do much.
I tried to copy the browser from my evo lte, but it only crashes.

I flashed the AOKP JB build 1 rom, and it has the stock browser in it.
Did you change to the proper permissions? Did you disable the browser sync app?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Yes. Yes. I got the jb browser running just fine. But it lacks the very important "read" function, which reformats a page for easy, uncluttered reading. That's why I'm looking to install the version from ics.

Wow
Looks very useful
Thing is,.I've NEVER.seen that. Ever. Anywhere.
only thing even close that I've seen is pressing menu> dance for offline reading. i have never seen what is described there at all.
Is that a feature built into a certain OEMs included browser? Cuz it's certainly not on my gnex on stock aosp.
Maybe I'll need to go back to ics again just to make sure i am not losing my mind lol. Which i probably am.....
Hmmm, well I know it's on my htc evo 4g lte, so maybe it's only htc phones?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Correct, that is a functionality within the sense browser. Not the stock ICS browser.
Is HTC violating the GPL by not releasing the source for their modified browser? Or is that source available somewhere?

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Apple has been pressuring everyone to ditch flash for years. From what ive heard Jobs HATED Adobe which is why no apple product ever supported flash. If its not Apple tech or built specifically for and around apple, this is what they would do. Iphones dominance early on is what helped them succeed in killing flash.
If apple doesn't like something they will go to extremes to destroy it. They have to protect their one good idea per decade somehow I suppose!

Ya i checked settings and tried both user interfaces. I'm not that much of a noob. I tried 4 browsers. It works after installing the apk file i found online. I was really pissed off. The flash installer from Google play doesn't work. Search Google for flash player apk.

ASUS Supernote 3.1.0 from PadFone 2

This is the supernote 3.1 from Asus PadFone 2
I was able to get this app working on our phone.
I only tested on my wife's and my nexus 4. But I would imagine that it also works on other Jellybean devices as well.

Works great, thanks.

Seems to work great. Just missing page navigation buttons when in a notepad. Works great on my Xoom too running 4.0.4. Syncs well between the two. An ability to add remember needs would make this my top notepad/to do list but will have to stick with catch (functions nowhere near the same but can set reminders).
This is very much like the snote app on s3 and note, but with better sync.

Awesome app! I've only made a couple notes but it seems to be working flawlessly. Thanks!

Handwriting to text conversion
Hi, my friend has this on his Padfone 2. I downloaded this as well. We see that this is the same version 3.1.0.9.0.
However, everything is the same except for one feature. He has this button just left of the Trashcan button, that is for conversion of handwriting to text. It works pretty well. In the Settings menu, he has one extra option to select what language for 'Recognition Language', referring to the handwriting feature.
Do you see this option? I'm thinking the app knows that it's not being used on an Asus and disables this? I'm using Samsung Galaxy S3.
Thanks!

[FREE - YMMV] Next launcher 3d - free $16 app

Do the following:
- Download the next launcher 3d LITE version from play store
- Go to Next Launcher preferences
- Scroll all the way down to About Full Version
- Click on Activate
- Enter nextlauncher3d in account, appoftheday in code
- Done!
Some have reported that it is still activating after the original post date.
Don't forget to hit thanks.
I did it and it works perfectly.

Anyway thanks, I think its nice launcher.
As asked before, is this a trial or something? Why is it free today? Does the dev know about this, or is this some loophole bug that was found? Kinda seems suspicious...
EDIT: Didn't read the whole post I guess. The code is "appoftheday" so that seems a little less suspicious lol.

dragonfly1113, is your Note 3 -- on which this exploit works -- running stock Android version 4.4.2, 4.4.4, or some other version? I am wondering if \/erizon fixed this in 4.4.4, because this isn't working on my Note 3 with stock 4.4.4.
Definitely a sweet find nonetheless!
It worked on lollipop 5.0 ob6..
Thanks for sharing..

^ Flash the Jasmibe 5.0.2 update zip using Flashfire and the native Hotspot app will work just fine.
Will this work in s6 edge Verizon too
