Personally, I just use Google Chrome. It backs your bookmarks up on Google servers. When you flash a new ROM, just open up Chrome and it automatically signs you in and you don't have to do anything else.
Or just use titanium backup. Works fine with the stock browser too.

I use the samsung account backup......if you go into settings-->accounts-->samsung, go into the backup/restore options ...click on your account there will be options
enable "sync internet bookmarks"
otherwise chrome is a good alternative, although the browser is very buggy IMO
But not all roms have the samsung backup.

On the S4? I'm stock and that app does the same thing as BookmarksSB - nothing.
---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 PM ----------
....and the long road around - if you're moving to and from stock/ and on the stock browser- go to the bookmarks page in the browser, long press and "share" it to another app to "store" it (ie dropbox).....I use simple notepad and links are actually clickable from within there (when not in edit mode). It's good if you have bookmarks you are trying to save and want them in one place. Obviously not practical with a ton of bookmarks, but if you're in a pinch and can't sync with chrome or samsung- it's an alternative of sorts..

Hopefully this is a short lived thread. I couldn't find anywhere else more appropriate to post this, if there is somewhere please enlighten me. I'd appreciate it if someone would post a download of the 'notes' widget, since I can't download it from the usual method! I looked all over the inter-web and no one has ever posted a link to it (unsurprisingly) so this is a joyous occasion for the few of us that can't download it from htc directly. Gracias!
hopefully someone will post it before the thread is deleted.

If you go Add > Widget, then select the option shown at the top of lot of the list of Widgets (Get more HTC Widgets). Download and install the one titled 'Notes'. Then simply add the widget to the relevant screen.
Also, 3 banana (found via Marketplace) have a good note taking app that has a nice widget, and it has a lot more features not available in the HTC notes widget.

Well, thats not an option actually. I'm running a hacked desire rom on the nexus. so far, widgets cannot download. anybody want to post one?
Here you go mate!
Hope you'll be able to install it, I haven't tried doing it manually, myself.
Anything that syncs with Outlook notes??
I really need to have my notes synced with Outlook: do you know of any app that's capable of this?

Since it probably doesn't have an install script, I reckon you'd have to bake it into the rom and reflash..
or perhaps try pasting it into the system/app folder and rebot.
Sorry to hear that. It wasn't in /system/app though... I found it in /data/app/ IIRC (hope this helps)

Anybody have a recommendation for an ap that combines the streams from facebook and twitter into one page like HTCs
FriendStream? I've tried to seesmic and others really don't care for them. Tweetdeck is close, but won't show images quite right.
Thanks!
What about the Social Hub that comes with the Tab? Not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for. It can also show multiple email accounts in one window as well.
tweetdeck... its great and customizable its optimized for twitter but you can have facebook streams in it too...
TweetDeck
you can also have this app on your PC just by visiting tweetdeck.com
and next time post in the Q/A section of the forums...

Pretty sure Task650 has a flashable zip that has all the apps he took out of the ROM, including Social Hub.
Yup. I flashed the "missing apps" zip and Social Hub was just what I was looking for....

Hi,
I'm using skyfire for my browser and am having a problem where when I use the option to clear session history on exit if I go back into skyfire again the history is gone however the default android browser some how has my history from my previous skyfire session. This seems to negate the security features of skyfire if the default android browser is remembering my search history.
How can I correct this so that the default browser is not monitoring and storing my skyfire history and so when I exit skyfire using the clear session history on exit the history is fully cleared from the phone? Thanks
I would try to simply uninstall the stock browser using titanium backup (Do a nandroid first, as things could be broken).
Edit: Please do not follow my advice, see post below.

The stock browser is necessary. If you uninstall it other services won't work.

if you are scared about people seeing you've gone to porn sites then put a screen lock on your phone and dont let them use it.
honestly, ive been looking for an app at a one hit would delete "search history" and "browser history" I've gotten very very quick and deleting them but it would be nice if it was a one hit purge.
Alot of people look at porn, as long as you arent addicted i dont see anything wrong with it. It would be embarrassing if someone else accidently saw something on my phone though... its a legitimate arguement imo.
I should add that I'm running virtuous 2.0.0 ROM and not stock. Thanks for the reply's so far guys. Anyone else have any ideas?
Hello All,
Just wanted to say that the new update is awesome. I was looking through the settings and I can seem to find option to change the wake button. Is there an option to change the wake button?
Love the new update Zip!
Eric
Don't flame him guys. He doesn't have enough posts to put this in Zips thread.
Glad you like the ROM, and welcome to the forum.
I'm about an hour out from being able to install it so I can't answer your question. I can, however, tell you that if you are wanting trackpad wake its not happening on ICS yet.
only option i saw is to set volume buttons to wake phone
Gmail Issue
I'm a newbie as well, and know this question probably fits better in the dev section, but don't have enough posts to put it there. I have been lurking on here for a while, learned a ton. I've been using Zip's 3.11 ROM for a while, no problems and loved it! I flashed the new 4.01 ROM and ever since have been having trouble with Gmail syncing. It seems my phone is not receiving push notifications. The only way I get any emails is if I manually press the sync button in the gmail app. Wondering if anyone else has this problem or know of anything I could try to fix it.
Thanks!

Have no problem with mine, automatically sync and notify me when I get new email. Maybe try reinstall Gmail again and clear data? Or better yet reflash the whole rom, fullwipe and everything before hand.
@op
The only wake button that u can use now is volume, home button and power button. Zips mentioned touchtap wake is coming, so just wait for it

Don't do this. Just remove your google account and add it again.
Also make sure gmail settings are default or set to your likings or w/e.

I already had wiped/reflashed and then flashed the gapps zip. That seems to fix the problem. I'm wondering if it had something to do with a system data file that I restored using Titanium Backup. I am not restoring any old system files this time.
@estallings15. I thought it might be something with ICS. Good to know. Thanks for the information and humoring a posting newbie. I've been following the forums for a while now. Most of my questions get asked by someone else.

another newbie question
...since I can't post in the dev forum either.
I was previously using Virtuous Affinity with Sense 3.5. I was using the default Messages app there and had a large store of messages. I don't delete often for some personal reasons. I tried to use Titanium backup to restore my messages storage which made the phone process die over and over on reboot.
I know if I had to get them, the raw data storage is in SQLite. I'm just wondering if there's a more reasonable way to get them imported into ICS (Zips CG)?
@playdrums Well here goes something as a newbie trying to help.
One possibility to restore your messages that I can think of would be to restore your previous rom and then download SMS Backup+ back up your messages with that, and then restore/reflash Zips CG and restore the messages with the same app which is included if you installed it with aroma. This will also leave a copy of your texts on your gmail account.

Thanks spork. I have a nandroid backup of my Virtuous Affinity setup. I may be able to do this. I'm liking Creamed Glacier but I do miss Sense a bit. And, don't laugh, seriously, I miss the genius button. Google Voice does not perform as well.

I did. Sorry, should have mentioned that as well. I've decided to restore back to 3.11 and wait to see how things shape up with the next update. Currently on the job hunt and need my phone more stable than the 4.01+patch was giving me (Gmail not syncing and frequent reboots/locking up). Loving the work done on it so far though!

Read a few comments above. Google Voice performs better under Sense ROMs. Zips Creamed Glacier is an awesome ROM, but I honestly just flashed back over to MIUI today for more stability.
EDIT: I forgot to include my point. If you want to use a more reliable version of Google Voice, you're better off staying away from ICS ROMs for now.
I can't figure out how to delete the websites located in the quick access section. Is this even possible?
Make your default homepage to quick access. Then you can change it.
Long press and hold the webpage icon, then it will let you delete.

The ad blocking plugin makes it way faster than Chrome. I am using it until Brave releases a stand alone browser. I use Link Bubble aka Brave browser for in app links though.
