You should wait for Opera to release their new Webkit-based browser. A beta is already on the Play Store, so you could give it a try.

 

[Salvo]

I'll wait for the full version. Not really in a rush.

Btw, anyone who is using a phone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor needs to get the Qualcomm Battery Guru app. My battery consumption during standby is so much better after installing that. Definitely recommend it.

And how the fuck can I know what processor I have?

Look up the specs of your phone on GSMArena.com and it should be mentioned there.

Which phone do you have btw?

So I'm pretty excited for the new Galaxy to come out. Looks like it will be incredible.

Hey Sheikh, there is no option on the android chrome to set region. Would this have to be done on the back end?

Also concerning battery mgt programs (re:Qualcomm Snapdragon processor) it's been said that they actually increase consumption rather than decreasing.

 

[Linebreak]

So the GS4 is quite disappointing - full of software gimmicks.

Full plastic body please.

Once again HTC outs the better looking phone and once again they'll sell only a fraction of what Samsung sells.

You see the link at the bottom that says "Google.co.in"?



You'll have to click on the similar link you find I you're Google homepage.

Samsung still going with plastic?

That looks cheap.

 

[Albo]

I don't like plastic.

 

[ALC]

Yeah, Samsungs feel really cheap.

Dhee Dhee, are you running Franco Kernel? What ROM are you running right now? What's your battery life like?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I'm running AOKP+Paranoid Android Kernel+Snapdragon Battery Guru app. I didn't like the color contrast of the Franco Kernel. The PA one is the best I've seen though.

As for battery life, it's great while on standby and acceptable during normal use. My screen-on time is usually 50%.

 

[icemaη]

First root, then kernel update and them ROM right? I need links if you have got them

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Kernels can be flashed after flashing the ROM too.

You can get AOKP from AOKP.Co. The kernel can be found here: http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/mako/pa_mako-Kernel422_CalibratedHalfbreed.zip

@Sheik Yerbouti

Can you recommend me a sweet but not overpriced phone? I don't feel like paying the price of a Galaxy III or the HTC One X Plus.

So something a bit cheaper, but still relatively well made.
