[QUOTE=Starship;37874495]Also what is the best keyboard and browser app? General awesome apps would be great too[/QUOTE]
For browser, near as I can tell the consensus is Dolphin, Opera or Chrome.
Firefox for Android exists but it's crap.
swype is the best keyboard app; don't be deceived by swiftkey swine
don't listen to him
swyping is bad
Swyping is cool for the first week, then it just sucks.
I use Boat Browser, switched after Opera went buggy as hell.
And I must be the only person who is using TouchWiz over Apex and Nova.

Nope, I haven't changed a thing from stock. I still have the stock wallpapers and clock for some reason too.....
Just got the galaxy s3
So I assume trying to change the font on my stock Nexus 7 w/root isn't going to work?
I just get bootloops whenever I try to, works like a charm on my nexus(phone) then again it has a custom rom on it.

Just use FontChanger
I've tried a few different apps that worked on my phone, I'll give that one a shot.
Turns out recovery didn't flash quite right and I don't have a cable on me to use fastboot. Got a day without my tablet :(
chrome and default jb keyboard. maybe swift if you really want. swyping is dumb and its slower than typing soooo

Dude bro, is that a challenge? I will own you. I've been Swyping since you were a sperm in your daddy's balls.
[QUOTE=PyroCF;37874904]Swyping is cool for the first week, then it just sucks.[/QUOTE]
No, first it's a pain in the ass to start using, then it's cool, then it sucks, then it becomes an unusable load of shit half the time.
They keymonk keyboard. It's like swyping but with two thumbs!

[QUOTE=ManningQB18;37873922]What does Nova have over Apex Free?[/QUOTE]
The premium studded that Nova has + Apex and man it's 25 cents, you should have bought it the second you saw this sale.
I honestly dislike the Chrome experience on Android. It's slower than most other browsers, browsing (flicking?) speed is limited, and it doesn't seem to play very well with extensions.

And that's why I ditched Chrome and stuck with stock.

I recommend that you try using Dolphin
[QUOTE=DanTehMan;37876293]I recommend that you try using Dolphin[/QUOTE]
I don't understand why do people love dolphin so much
It's just stock with a worse interface and a ton of useless features
[QUOTE=superstepa;37876331]I don't understand why do people love dolphin so much

On my devices at least I saw a great increase in speed on rendering pages when compared to the stock browser, and specifically when browsing pages it seems to run at 60 FPS more often.
[QUOTE=DanTehMan;37876293]I recommend that you try using Dolphin[/QUOTE]
I used to use Dolphin all day everyday back in my Gingerbread days. Now I'm on ICS and stock is all I need.
I'll try dolphin again eventually.

It used to be faster than stock when I was on gingerbread.
What a lot of people don't know is that Dolphin used to send every, single page you went on to their servers. Just like what Google Chrome does on your computer.
ive gotten so used to some aspects of chrome though. like the way it zooms in when you tap on something small so you can specify what you were tapping.
that feature is so good i wish stock jb browser had it.
[QUOTE=PyroCF;37867496]But he should be going after the SIII. Tegra 3 is awful.[/QUOTE]
Of course it is, but the only other way would be a S4 Pro device.

I definitely recommend Opera, I really wish they'd make their UI more standard though
So I had a few hours free yesterday and finally got around to organizing my Tablet and shit.
HP Touchpad running CM9. Any big interface shits and giggles I should get?

Chrome saving all of my bookmarks and autofills and shit from my computer is too useful not to have.
The idea of not using Chrome is weird to me now.
I like how I can flick tabs to close them as it's much easier than stock. Oh and sync, you gotta love sync
Also Dropbox works so well it's unbelievable. That's the first screenshot I've taken and it automatically uploaded it to my dropbox where I copied the link and posted it here.
The amount of sync going on between my computer and tablet makes my cock rock.

I can see the problem. You have ATK.

Firefox for Android has gotten much better in recent weeks. I now use both it + Dolphin.

At least on my Nexus 7, Dolphin renders more accurately with fewer performance issues than Chrome.
