[Q] CM10.1 Stock Browser - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Does anyone know if the stock CM10.1 browser is able to sync with my Google Chrome desktop bookmarks? I've tried to search it up, but have been unable to find any information regarding it. Chrome for Android isn't as smooth as I'd like it to be.

Nope. Get CMarks from the Play Store, awesome app.

Well actually, as you posted, I was just able to get my bookmarks to sync without any external applications. I had to remove encryption to my bookmarks to allow syncing of bookmarks.

Contacts/SNS (not SMS) replacement

Hello guys!
I am actually one of the few that enjoys Samsung's SNS thingy - I open up a contact and see their Facebook status and whatnot.
I also change ROMs often, and I end up reinstalling or restoring all the SNS components, which forces me to re-join contacts, manually delete duplicate birthdays and whatnot.
Is there a replacement you know of? I mean, an independent contacts app which syncs to Google and Facebook (and possibly Twitter, LinkedIn) and does the contact management externally? That way, whenever I install a new ROM, I will just restore this app and have my contacts as they should.
Any help would be appreciated!

I tried googling it but didn't find any. Can you post the market link?
I am trying to replace the stock contact app altogether - it may sync with Google, but I want it to be rom-independent. Like Dolphin to browsers and GoSMS to messages.
Have a look at this:

It doesn't help, and I even bought it...
No solutions, eh?...
contacts by contapps ltd (search contapps) in the market.
SmartR contacts beta by Xobni in the market.

Tried them both. They both don't help as they just display the existing contacts - so I am still required to use Samsung's SNS to sync the Facebook data. My point is to stop using SNS but remain with the same functionality.
I'm giving up
Probably forfeit the need to use the SNS features.

App to block tracking? Ghostery?

Use ghostery on computer with firefox. I used to be on chrome but firefox seems just as fast and ghostery blocking trackers is more complete. Plus I think google is spying on me.;-) Need an app like this in android. Don't see any of the android web browsers with addon like this.

Are looking to just block tracking in the browser?
Does disabling cookies in the stock browser not get what you are looking for?
If you disable cookies it breaks websites. Ghostery does not. Yes it is within a web browser. I know google knows all that's why I put in the " ;-) ". I just don't want to make it easy for them.

You can download Opera Mobile 12 from this dev site and download Ghostery extension from this addon site

How to sync google bookmarks with stock browser??

I can't for the life of me figure out how to sync my bookmarks with the stock browser. I just to to ut rather easily on my s3. Any ideas?

Im in the same boat as well. In for answers.
Do you mean Chrome bookmarks? You have to sign-in with your Google account and make sure Auto Sync and Sync Internet/Bookmarks is on under Accounts.

There isn't an option for syncing bookmarks, that's where I remember it being on the S3 but it's not on my s4. Stock browser not chrome

I have the same issue! I rather like the stock browser, so I'd love to have all my bookmarks sync with my gmail account.
In my s3 stock browser automatically login to my google account and sync all my bookmarks and everything else, now samsung wants us to use this useless scloud and now we haven't sync with syock browser in s4... is there any way to have this working out? The stock browser is far the best to me.

I aslso love the stock browser best, never found a way to sync google bookmarks. So i saved my bookmarks to my Samsung account and started syncing from there. Problem is that when i flash a new rom and sync my bookmarks, some if not most are missing. I don't even have that many, just like 6 or 7

Well that's another way, but we should be able to sync it also with Google like before. I had a look into many xml and features and compared it to s3 files, but nothing...

This sucks... I hate Chrome. Is it the fact that Google is trying hard to push Chome on us?

Well, looks like Samsung is trying to push the Samsung cloud service, Samsung backup, Samsung... I don't even see why we have Samsung apps if we have play store, and books, music...

I'm working on this. Had same problem with old phone. Got a half ass solution then. Maybe better luck with this one.
All my bookmarks sync just fine in Chrome, still it's not my browser of choice.

New Google Hangouts app and GS4

I can't get the new hangouts app installed in my galaxy s4. It says it is already installed, but when I press open, it opens the old talk app. Any thoughts?
We need the new Google play services for it to work.

If u already have google music installed on your phone just go to play market and update the app. The new hangout apk is above with all the other apks if needed!!
I had to install hangouts from my pc

The new hangout sucks!!! Big time!
I need to know the online status of my friend before I send them a message, I do not want to message ppl while they are in the middle of something.
Also, after install Hangout, Google Play Services seem to be a HUGE battery drain!!!

There is a green under their photo that tells you they are online. Also their photos are bolder than people who are offline.

No, there isn't. Not in the Android app at least. The green underline is visible only in the browser version.
To me Hangout is a HUGE step back compared from Talk.
I can't get no notifications at all...

Hey
As someone else mentioned, which is the method i used as well, use your Desktop and go to the google play store, find hangouts and it will let you install, choose your S4 from the devices list, and bam, force-update over Gtalk. You're welcome.
P.S. I suggest you install from the Play Store. Also, notifications work entirely fine for me.
Does anybody know how to delete pictures stored on the gallery from when u send a pic in hangouts it automatically saves them, kinda of annoying. Thanks

The method I used is if you're rooted just uninstall Google Talk w/ Titanium Backup, go into the Play Store and download/install Hangouts.
Just an alternative method from what's been stated.

[Q] Smoothsync for iCoud account keeps deleting

I downloaded a great app called Smoothsync for Icloud that allowed my droid calender to sync with my icloud.com calender. However, since using it on my Note 3 my icloud account for Smoothsync keeps disapearing . I have to keep going into Accounts and adding this account all the time. Any ideas on what it could be please? thanks.

Same here.
Go back to the play store and look at that devs other apps.
You'll see a 'JB fix' app for a bunch of apple progs. Select the calendar one and install.
It will fix this problem.
Great app BTW. Works beautifully.

Today I tried looking for the JB Fix , I saw an app / patch called JB Workaround by Marten Gajda, is this patch I need? If so, I installed it but unsure what to do next?
Thanks,
