Has anyone else using Chrome to Phone with beta Chrome lost the ability to select text in the browser, right click, and Chrome-to-Phone just that text? Every time I do that anymore, it just opens that page in the browser on my phone rather than copying that text to the phone's clipboard.

On the topic of chrome to phone, it doesn't even work for me any more. Likely because I've flashed so many roms and there's an activation limit, but no way to clear it. I simply can't login anymore.

But, even though it opens whatever page I was on, it also copies the selected text. It doesn't notify me of it though.

Do any of the Android CBR readers hide or dim the button bar that comes up in ICS when you're using a tablet? I finally got around to trying CM9 on my Touchpad and I love it, but Comic Shelf HD on WebOS seemed so much nicer since it allowed for fullscreen. I've tried ACV, Komik, and jj, and they all left me feeling pretty underwhelmed. Edit: Well, Komik will do it but it renders like Unreal Engine 3 and every page is blurry for the first few seconds. ACV's settings page is broken in ICS, jjcomic reader works okay but has no option to dim the bottom bar. Basically I am a whiny baby.

Hope this is the correct thread for this question, but is there an app that'll let me run the tablet version of all of the gapps, and other apps if possible? I really love the tablet view of my labels, and its just a small annoyance.

Is the tablet view available on non-Honeycomb tablets, like the Galaxy Tab? If so, you could screw with your DPI or build.prop file to trick your gapps into thinking you're running a bigger device. This could probably backfire in a lot of ways, though. It would be cool if there was an app list like SU that played middleman between apps and your device so you could do this fuckery on an app-by-app basis.

I have been using Miren browser for ages now and realised recently that it hasn't been updated in ages even though there are some annoying bugs. I browsed back about ten pages to see if there was any talk about browsers and found that there was a lot of talk about Chrome. Is it worth trying? If not what is the best browser at the moment?

Boat is good. Firefox is nice for the sync but pretty slow and sluggish even on a high-end phone.

Chrome has replaced any other browser on my phone. If you have Android 4.0+, there's little reason not to try it.

For what it's worth: I used to use Miren until I started using the stock browser again for whatever reason. After this, I noticed that 3G Watchdog still reported Miren as using most of my bandwith despite me never opening it. Only after uninstalling Miren dropped my daily bandwith use from ~5 MB to ~1.5 MB. This may not be an issue for other people, and it may be due to some other snafu on my phone, but I'm pretty down on Miren now.

Plus it supports general web pages better than the stick browser, the tabs implementation is slicker, and the Chrome sign-in cross-device support has actually been working out super well for me.

dissss posted:I actually much prefer the way the stock browser handles zooming - maybe just because I'm used to it. My issue with the stock browser's zooming is that it doesn't work on anything other than columns of text (and even then, not always). Images? Nope. Tables? Nope. And sometimes it zooms in on something like 2 inches away from where I tapped. Chrome/Safari/Firefox reliably zoom in on the element I tapped, whatever it happens to be, and fit it to the screen.

I don't think I could ever use a browser without the quick touch controls again, I love those things. I installed Quick ICS Browser which lets you completely customise the menu, gives me different options in top and bottom of screen and allows click through. I thought about trying Chrome and then realised msot of the benefits involve using the desktop browser. And until Chrome (desktop) fixes the horrible white flash when loading between pages with a dark background (which has existed since launch), I cannot use it.

Frozen-Solid posted:Google Music is both a regular music playing app (that's really good!) and a streaming music app. If you don't have an actual Google Music account you can use it just like a normal music player and you don't even see the streaming features. How do i organize my music? I listen to old time radio dramas, and would like to keep them in a folder separate from everything else. Android seems to read every file on the phone, even the audio files from games, which is annoying.

I just got PowerAMP for similar reasons (+ album art and actual EQ), you can select specific folders and sub folders to scan . It's not cheap but I love it so far. I'm sure there are other really good free options someone can recommend, but that person isn't me.

Is there anyway to set a wallpaper that isn't Google's hosed up notion of how to do it? I've been using android for 2.5 years now, and now that I have a tablet, I find out just how annoying it really is. I have a picture that would look awesome in landscape, and has enough to work with for portrait mode. But not any way how they let you. Why the gently caress can't you just pick two crops? Is there any app or something that will let you do this? I'm all rooted running ICS if that would make any difference.

I'm not sure of this ever got mentioned, but Cerberus anti-theft is giving away free licenses through today through their Facebook page. I can't easily provide a link right now but I'm sure you can find it. You have to download the app and create an account first, then give them your cerberus ID and email through their web form. Seems like a pretty nice app.

I don't know if ICS Browser+ does it, but for example on the Penny Arcade page, when you go to press one of the web buttons to go back/forward a strip it'll bring up a little zoomed image of those 2-3 buttons your finger might have hit for you to press.
