Firefox 4 for Android is out

just a few days after the release of their RC, Firefox 4 for Android finally out!

for general users, it may disappoint you coz it does not support flash. but for some other users like me, who don prefer auto loading flash movies, it doesnt matter

although it stopped responding for the first run with 3 tabs opened, FF4 loaded and reloaded web pages a bit faster then the stock browser (I9000XWJS8). however, the scolling is much slower (on my SGS)

perhaps the most interesting functions are the built-in sync and add-ons capabilities. i had not try these 2 functions yet and instead, i reconfigured the memory and cache settings in config to see how it affects the performance

one more thing to mention, for those who hate reloading the page everytime u go to the previous page like the stock one, FF4 could be a better option

Firefox 4 release candidate for Android - Fennec

it's been released a few days ago. when compared with the previous beta version, which was quite good in feature wise but not performance wise, it is a "more complete version". some benchmarks also show that the performance of Fennec is better than the stock Android browser

a better modem choice I9000XXJVE

installed jve modem (extracted from official ginger beta rom I9000XWJV1) to my 2.2.1 rom, i found that the signal is stronger then jpy. also, i got more satellities found even in indoors than before and the battery consumption is about the same

fail to install apps? try this solution

when you download and install apps from the market, sometimes you will find that INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR in the log or "Application not installed" error

they are usually SDCARD related problem, do this and reinstall your app and see if it helps:

- unmount external sdcard
goto settings-> sd card and phone storage -> unmount sd card

if you can install the app after, then it's should be sdcard related problem. to avoid or fix this permanently, do this (root is needed):

- change the permission of /mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec to 777
OR
- delete /mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec

Google use backdoor to patch the malwares?

after malwares were found in the Android Market, Google is going to patch the affect devices "remotely", by installing some updates to your phone to clean up the device, and users do not need to do anything. so that means another backdoor?


more info

possible solution for the malwares affected Android phones

in short, if your phone is rooted, just create an empty file called profile under /system/bin/

in adb shell, change to root user and then do the followings:
touch /system/bin/profile; chmod 644 /system/bin/profile

notice that you may have to remount the /system partition as rw (with read/write permission) first by issuing the command:
mount -o remount,rw /system
