Hey guys,

INSTALL AT OWN RISK!

Yep, about an hour after I said it was impossible to do without touching framework.jar, I got it.

This works on either 2.0.1 or 2.1

UPDATE: I've attached a new Browser.apk (in Browser_v.05.zip) below that should fix the user-agent it sends, this should allow sites like Digg to correctly detect a mobile device and redirect accordingly. I'll update the zip tomorrow possibly, I have some other fixes I want to roll together. Thanks to everyone that reported it.

Fixed (.03) : Crash on clicking a select menu in the browser.
Fixed (.04) : Weird red thing on the right side of the address bar when loading.
(I took down .04 temporarily because it was force-closing for some people).

.05 is just .04 but fixed to still work on 2.1.

Known issues: User-agent might be wrong still, Wikipedia doesn't redirect to mobile, but digg and facebook do.

Instructions:
- Do a nandroid backup or whatever to back up the files (Browser.apk and Browser.odex) you'll be patching (ps: I'm not responsible for you screwing up your phone)
- Remount /system to RW (mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system)
- Delete /system/app/Browser.odex
- Extract the zip file somewhere on your computer
- adb push libmtwebcore.so /system/lib
- adb push Browser.apk /system/app/Browser.apk
- Profit!

I think that's everything. If it doesn't work (crashes on startup immediately) post a logcat output of the exception it threw, I might have forgotten a file.

As the title says, this is still in beta, I've got some more work to do to get the resources to match up correctly.

And here are the two files attached:

Is there multi-touch enabled in this browser?

 

[stanrc]

Yes, thats the point.

 

[Martin030908]

Yes, thats the point.

figured as much, just wanted to ask to be sure

 

[whiddles]

is this better than dolphin?

 

[stanrc]

I haven't used dolphin so I can't compare. I never used "pinch zoom" before so I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

 

[RinTinTigger]

Just imagine your DROID browser has Multitouch, cuz its just the Milestone browser (wich IS a droid),

 

[wuyanks]

works flawlessly on 2.1 HC Rom

Does your phone have to be unlocked?

If not, what the heck do those instructions mean?!?

 

[mach330]

i'm guessing it has to be "rooted"?

 

[wuyanks]

does not require root, i don't think... just need android SDK installed, if you follow those insttructions there... but you should probably make a nandroid backup beforehand, which does require root....

 

[stanrc]

I believe you do need root because you need to remove the original browser.
