Im using slim rom which uses the aosp browser.
Every time i open a flash site i get "Browser isn't responding".
Mayne ill give cm a try. I was gonna check out carbon and PA also.

I have no problem viewing full desktop flash websites with Adobe Flash Player 11.1.115.69 and Dolphin Browser + Jetpack. To increase the browsing smoothness even more, I have my device overclocked to 1.6GHz and set the CPU Governor to Performance and Tegra 3 Quiet Governor to Userspace so all 4 cores will be on 100% of the time locked at maximum overclock frequency.

Sounds like a bunch of wasted battery and overall tablet life to browse the internet...
I have mine set to 1.1 and interactive.
Browsing is smooth as ever and i get almost 7 hours screen on time everyday.
The only problem i have is the browser isnt reaponding message which is a flash issue.
I get it using every flash enabled browser only when i pull up a flash site.
Good apps:
Root explorer
Superuser
TricksterMOD
AOSP Browser
Flash Player
FL Studio
Tapatalk
Hangouts
Pandora
Titanium Backup
Droid Papers
DatPiff Mobile
Clean Master
Greenify
ReScan Media Root

When connected to a power source plus I have it undervolted by 50mV. Otherwise I found Conservative with Runnable for 1-2 cores active works alright. The CPU temperature reaches 75 degrees celsius under overclocked heavy load although I'm not too concerned about "overall tablet life".

Why not try firefox beta and latest flash apk. I'm running on SmoothRom and have had no issues.

Firefox beta is really good I prefer it over aosp browser, Firefox beta seems to never crash or force to to close it, aosp browser does that to me a lot

I've tried aosp, Firefox, naked, opera, puffin, boat, maxathon, dolphin, Uc, photon, ninesky, floating, skyfire, lightning, galaxy, xscope, and exsoul.
I've tried about 10 versions of flash just to make sure it wasn't that.
And I've also tried pulling the aosp browser from cm9 to see if that would somehow work... (Knowing it wouldnt but I was desperate)
I'm on cm right now and its working fine ATM.
Thanks tho.
Edit: no, its not. Im going to try FF Beta again tonite but i think im done after this. Fckin sucks.

[APP] DOLPHIN BROWSER BETA (GPU accelerated)

Hi all,
You can find here the new Dolphin Browser (Beta), if you have miss it...
It's really fast !
INFO:
"Dolphin Engine (in Beta) is an improved webkit version with extensive canvas enhancement and behind-the-scenes technology that makes it the highest performing HTML5 browser available today. Dolphin Engine allows HTML5 rendering up to 5-10 times faster than the default browser on Android, and at times, 100 percent faster than Chrome."
TEST:
http://youtu.be/zbI1nwn2FSo
LINK:
http://apk-download.s3.amazonaws.com/Dolphin_Engine_Beta.apk
Leave your feedback
Works well
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
I've seen it in Android apps and games forum. Most sites don't use HTML5, so the performance boost should be small. I've also seen fenec/firefox beta builds compiled with linaro. They also give a nice boost, would be nice if dolphin could be build with linaro, too.
So does it work well on sgs i9000.?
Do I need to uninstall market version dolphin browser first OR is it okay to install straight for best performance
Sent from my blazing SGS i9000 via Tapatalk 2.
I think it replaces it if you're already on market version, but it won't get faster than installing without market version. It's working, but sometimes pictures don't load.
Tried it and it was weak compared to opera (no smooth scrolling) + I find the ui more bloated than stock browser.
Works awesomely

List of "good" apps

My list from a few other threads, but very relevant here since everyone is probably wondering what "app" to get.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnAJoa0-ynONdGJiVDRSQ0p4VGtCaklESmtEbkJzNUE
edit: you guys can add to it ^_^
Great list, a few I couldn't live without:
Badass Battery, 4.7
Mobi Calculator, 4.8
FX File Explorer, 4.7
N7 Player, 4.7
Gtasks, 4.5
DIGI Clock Widget, 4.6
Palmary Weather, 4.5
GasBuddy, 4.6
YouAreHere, 4.7
Navfree, 3.8
Widgetsoid2, 4.6
I've found some of the widgets by this dev are excellent and he supports them very well if you mail him.
The Pure Grid calendar widget has options for tablet size widgets, multiple calendars, colour coding etc.
Also imho HDR Camera+ should be up there with ZoomFX
OP - amazing list!
That is a very clean and comprehensive list of apps you have OP. Thanks for posting... I am definitely going to try some of them out.
Has anyone tried Autodesk Sketchbook Pro on the N7?
Sent from my Nexus 7
I have. Responsiveness is still am issue
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Here's my Android tablet list of "best of breed" apps:
GTasks - syncs with Google Notes, has reminders, great widgets. Augments my calendar for many things. Free.
Dark Knight - good tablet chess app. Free+no ads.
AndroXplorer - first-rate file explorer with CIFS support. Free (minor advert), but I bought Pro with my Play credit. Better than all the others I've tried and has proper tablet interface.
SuperSU - fine-grained control of root permissions. Free+no ads, Pro has some sweet features, bought it.
AdAway - prevents ads from even downloading. Probably the biggest performance booster you can get. Free, no ads. This is one of the killer apps that will hook you on Android.
System Tuner - you won't believe the crap that starts up automatically. Fix it with this free app (minor ads). Pro is worth it.
AnkiDroid - Can't believe it's free w/o ads. Flashcards app to study nearly anything, many study decks available. Better than the $25 Anki iPad app which I bought.
Cool Reader - ebook reader, lots of useful features. Free and ad-free.
Aldiko Pro - slick reader, works with most formats, worth the $3.
Apps I'd like but which don't work yet:
Moon+ Reader (incl Pro) is broken on Jelly Bean, doesn't show text. When it works I'll buy Pro again.
Encore Learning Platform - free, no-ads, flashcards app.
If I could have clicked the "Thanks" icon 10 times for supplying us with this great database I would have. But I couldn't so THANK YOU X 10!

I was able to add a few in.
So, for some reason I can only pull this doc up at work. Now my problem is I can see where it's seperated into sections, but the apps aren't organized into their respective sections, they are in alphabetical order. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Josh

(UPDATING)Must Have Apps, Games & Widgets For Galaxy SII

Hiya everyone. This type of thread isn't new to XDA as it's on almost every device fora, but I decided to bring it over here aswell.
I'm going to share the most useful applications I have on my S2 and would like you to share more must have apps to add to this list.
Check out post #2 for some of the best games on Android and check out post #3 for some of the best widgets we can use.
1. Power Toggles - This is simply the best toggle app around. Able to toggle lots of main features.
2. Picsay Pro - This is a brilliant photo editor, but limited compared to some others. My personal favourite.
3. Rotation Locker - WYSIWYG. It locks your screen to either Portrait or Landscape. Really useful on some apps.
4. XDA App ICS Blue Colours/Themed - Our favourite forum app but with a complete red or blue colour theme thanks to our own Whiskey103
5. Home Switcher - Switches between any Home Launchers you have on your device.
6. Memory Usage - Lists all current apps and tells you current memory usage, peak memory usage and priorities.
7. PicSpeed Wallpapers - Over 170,000 HD wallpapers of all different genres, for our device.

9. Desktop Visualizer - Makes shortcuts or widgets using a custom image and can be used to make custom icons.
10. Wave Control - Execute actions by waving your hand over the screen.
11. Solid Explorer - Solid Explorer is a file manager which with two independent panels is the most attractive, eye catching and intuitive file manager for the Android.
12. PowerAmp - The most powerful music player there is.

16. QuickPic - An alternate photo gallery app, incase you don't like the default

21. AVG Anti-Virus Pro - AntiVirus Pro is a mobile security solution that helps protect your mobile device from viruses, malware, spyware & online exploitation in real-time
22. Aldiko Book Reader - Read and download thousands of eBooks right on your Android phone or tablet.
Download one of the best Android eBook Readers now!
23. Dropbox - Dropbox is a free service that lets you bring all your photos, docs, and videos anywhere.
24. Cerebus - Cerberus is a complete anti-theft application, the best protection you can get to recover your misplaced, lost or stolen Android device.
25. ScreenCast - ScreenCast records your phones screen at high frame rates and makes a HQ MPEG4 video with audio.
26. WidgetLocker - Simply the most powerful lockscreen replacement app there is.
27. Watchdog Task Manager - Allows you to see which apps are acting up and need closing.
28. Skype - Free voice and video calls + IM to anyone else on Skype, whether they're on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac etc.

30. ProCapture - Capture photos and panoramas like a pro with the ProCapture camera app. ProCapture adds advanced features to the Android camera experience. Multiple advanced camera shooting modes supported: Timer, Burst, Reduced Noise, Wide Shot and Panorama.
31. Appy Geek - Appy Geek brings you all the leading tech news sources from the industry in a cleverly laid-out user interface, including TechRadar, Gizmodo, T3 Magazine, The Next Web and more... Staying at the cutting edge of innovation has never been so easy!
32. VLC for Android Beta - VLC media player is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player that plays most multimedia files as well as discs, devices, and network streaming protocols.
33. Dolphin Browser - Dolphin browser is the fastest, smoothest and best mobile browser, in my opinion. With Sonar voice recognition, gestures and multiple add-ons, this browser just gets better and better.
34. imo - Multiprotocol IM client - Support for Facebook Chat, Google Talk, Skype, MSN, ICQ/AIM, Yahoo Messenger, Jabber, Hyves, VKontakte and Steam
35. BetterBatteryStats - With BBS, you can analyze the behaviour of your phone, find out which apps are causing major battery drain and measure the effect of corrective actions.
36. app2zip - App2zip allows you to backup apps to a flashable zip file through CWM or TWRP. Simply choose which apps you want and then click GO.
37. Shorten - Simply a URL shortener which saves a lot of time rather than going onto the internet each time.
IF YOU'VE FOUND THIS POST, OR ANY OF THESE APPS USEFUL, BE SURE TO HIT THE THANKS BUTTON!
If you know any unique or useful applications, games or widgets please suggest them in this thread so I can check them out. If I think they're good, I'll add them to the list.
*NOTE* - If you wish to know what the best app is regarding your needs, ask in this thread and I, or others, will be able to help you out.
So, if you want to know what the best music player is, ask here and I'll suggest the best ones available.
If there are any apps that you feel shouldn't be in this list, please let me know and suggest a better one. I can then test it and maybe add it to the list, in place of the other one.
If you don't suggest a better app, I won't change anything.
[INFO]Must Have Apps For Galaxy SII
The idea to add widgets into this thread aswell was an idea taken from Goku80 and I hope you lot like it.
So, the list in this post is strictly for widgets. I'll add some widgets myself as a base, but as always feel free to suggest some of your favorite widgets and they may make it into this list.
1. Beautiful Widgets - Beautiful set of Widgets containing clock widget, clock and weather widget, weather widgets, date widgets and toggle widgets with skins/themes support!
2. Fancy Widgets - Personalize your Android home screen with highly customizable clock widgets, weather widgets, home (clock & weather) widgets, forecast widgets, and more with lots of customization options.
3. Ultimate custom widget (UCCW) - If you enjoy customizing the look of your homescreen then this is pretty much a MUST HAVE app for you. It allows the user to create their own pure custom clocks with a near endless array of options to customize it how they'd like. However you want it, you can make it with UCCW.
4. Desktop VisualizeR - Here's another really useful widget if you love to customize your screens. This gives you the ability to make shortcuts and widgets with any image you specify, rather than just the default logos. You can also use this app to give apps a custom icon of your own, which is handy if your icon design doesn't currently exist.
5. Minimalistic Text - Minimalistic Text is a widget app that displays information in a minimalistic way. It can be configured to display time, date, battery and weather information. The layout of the widget is highly customizable throughout.
6. Eye In The Sky Weather - This is for all those who like their weather clean, simple and beautiful. The app includes 12 of the best weather icon sets and the ability to add your own icon sets.
[INFO]Must Have Apps For Galaxy SII
Due to popular demand via PMs, I've decided to add a slot to this thread to display some of the best games we can get on our Android device.
As with the app list above, if there's a great game you'd like to be added to this list, let me know and I may well add it in
1. Pool Break Lite - If you like to play pool, snooker, billiards etc. on the go then this is a great app you. There are a few different variations to play in either single player or multiplayer online mode and even more variations if you buy the pro version.
2. FIFA 12 - This game speaks for itself. It's the latest mobile version of the FIFA franchise and is easily the best so far, with it showing vast improvements. There's a load of different cups and leagues to play through and with great graphics with no lag in the slightest.
3. World Series Of Poker - Probably the best game from EA (in my opinion). If you like to play poker I totally recommend this game. You can play Texas Holdem and Omaha in either cash games, tournaments or play for a WSOP bracelet as the main prize. Guest mode is now available for no login from Facebook is needed.
4. iAssociate2 - This is a good choice if you prefer a bit of a brain tester. iAssociate2 is a word association game you have to figure out which words and phrases are associated to each other. Sound easy? Give it a try and you can soon find out differently.
5. Need For Speed Most Wanted - Another brilliant addition to the EA family, Most Wanted finally brings one of the best racing experiences to Android. It's a brilliant game all round but the only thing it's lacking, in my opinion, is 'free roam' mode. But apart from that, it brings brilliant graphics and flawless gameplay.
6. Grand Theft Auto III - Grand Theft Auto III was a crime game which changed the future of gaming and is amazing to play on the go with our Androids. The full console game with great graphics, full features and surprisingly no lag considering it's such a huge game. Countless hours of gameplay, HD quality resolution and visually stunning graphics make this a must for our devices.

Thanks! looking for this app.
ps: can´t add "thanks" now but I´ll later
So far best file manager FX file explorer
i would like to add sslauncher.
in questions of customization it is almost unbeatable. in addition ist light, beautiful and definitely something else compared with other launchers like nova/apex/trebuchet.
worth a look :cyclops:
for navigation mireo don't panic .... works great for me ...
Not another one...

So senseless... not only ICS/JB.
And why no UCCW and minimalistic text in widgets area. THE two widgets - nothing else needed.
xenoAmp
The other kind of a music player.
for browsing the internet i could recomment the whole dolphin series and the boat browser.
ES file explorer is a perfect explorer for me, including all the root stuff.
and u deffinately should list the samba filesharing app! its so usefull if u dont want to conncect your phone via the usb cable and move some stuff on ur sd cards over wifi :good:
thanxx man
thanks for all these great apps
you could add Multi Mount SD-Card, a very useful app, especially for custom roms which have issues for SD card mounting
and why not Airdroid, to send files from computer to your phone by using wifi network =)
These are the apps that I always install:
Dolphin Browser
Norton Utilities
Solid Explorer
SoundBest Lite (music player)
WhatsApp
XDA App, QuickPic, AirDroid
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 7
Some standard applications i recommend:
- Airdroid
- Avast! ( has inbuild firewall only for rooted users!!)
- Root Browser lite ( very easy to use )
- Titanium Backup ( you know why )
- Cpu spy ( to make sure your phone enters deep sleep )
- Adaway ( easy, good and has an adware scanner for push ads )
- Android Assistant ( multitools +18 has a taskmanager, batch installer and you can wipe the data from all the applications you have used in two clicks)
- Kingston office free ( better than ThinkFree office and Office suite free and pro )
- Dropbox ( link phone and pc and upload photos and videos automaticly and share with others!! )
- Camera360 or other thirdparty camera app ( why? cuz in my opninion less buggy then stock )
Thats all for now!

Apps you must install on N7!

I have been playing with my N7 for a few weeks now and have just rooted it ( after realizing my cable wasn't fully pushed in after an hour of banging my head on brick wall).
Forgetting Facebook, G+, Twitter & Games what are the must have apps that should be downloaded to show off the N7.
I am thinking wi-fi killa, Pulse and any other apps that are truly used daily and really have the wow factor on the N7.
Thanks in advance for all the help I have got before joining the site.

Whatever you do, not a gameloft game

ssLauncher (for ultimate user configuration)
Solid Explorer (for ease of use and 2 pane drag and drop use)
Poweramp (for sound and album art display)
Boat Browser (for speed and flash)
Koi Live Wallpaper (just cool to watch)
Taptu (like this better than Pulse, but very similar)>>> edit, now Flipboard
K9 mail (for folder and account organization)
Super note - apk pulled from the Asus Transformer pad.
Most function for free - no root required

GooManager
ComicRack
Amazon kindle or Moon reader
ES file explorer (because the LAN browsing)
Flipboard (I wish it had a tablet mode like the ipad one)
I know you didn't ask for games, but granny smith and modern combat 3 are my favourites!
Also if you can install the AOSP web browser, is faster than chrome, which I usually use it only for tab sync
GTA III
Moon+ Reader Pro

Granny Smith is such an odd game. On paper you'd never think you'd like it but I've honestly replayed the entire game 4 times and counting now.. The replay ability is fantastic..
Whatsapp - Obviously this has to be side loaded but its so much better than on a phone!
... well, I've got an 8GB; so I figure that the most crucial apps to me would be the cloud ones (i.e., Google Drive @ 5GB free, SkyCloud @ 7GB free, Dropbox @ 3GB, and the pre-installed Google Play Music @ 20,000 songs free...)
As a perk, GrooVeIP Free (tablet to phone) is a true Wi-Fi Calling experience on top of the Google Voice app.

Because Gameloft tend not to optimise for Tegra 3 devices and most of their games are laggy. I've got a few Gameloft games and the main culprit of an unoptimized game is Amazing Spider-Man! Incredibly laggy. But some others work fine (for me at least), like Where's Wally Now, Asphalt Urban 7...
