Done, thanks.

Just for curiosity, do you think Google will ever solve this?

I think is really stupid. No inverted view, no text reflow, browsing on kitkat is really annoying!

Been using the free version since forever and finally bought the pro and its even better! Best browser on android! Was wondering if it could be possible to add an option to Google translate a webpage? Like add an option on the bottom menu where I press the translate button and it Google translates it? Thanks! :good:

There isn't even a possibillity to add those features back with the xposed framework? That would be a solution for some of us atleast

Donation awaits the person who fixes textreflow and force zoom O.O

Correct. Google removed text reflow from KitKat.

Hey aminaked,

Recently I flashed aosb rom 4.4.2 on my i9505.
Since then, it ruined a lot of stuff on nb.
I know that google implemented different things on kit kat that disable stuff like text reflow but I don't know if it's all related.

Examples:
1. Double tap to zoom.
It doesn't work like it was before.
It takes a few tries until it zoom, and it's not as slick as it was before.
2. Gestures at the bottom of the screen. I need to really swipe close to the edge.
Closer than before and it's not very convenient (sometimes I even touch my menu/back key by accident)
3. I often visit a local android forum.
Every thread has a little mark, that pressing it takes me to "first unread".
Now, when I press on that mark and try to open in background it takes me to this url
http://iandroid.co.il/forum/styles/STG-Mobile/imageset/icon_topic_newest.gif
When I open it regularly and not in background it's ok and takes to the thread.

Thanks.

@aminaked ,
I wanted to try a clean install from play store, and see if it'll fix what I mentioned above.
I uninstalled the app, but when I tried to download it didn't recognize that I purchased it before.
Had to restore my backup thorough TB.
Btw, tried other browsers like Firefox and lightning. Didn't test everything but double tap to zoom worked much better.
Any help with my 2 posts will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

You have to quote or mention him to get him to see you. But I too can tell you that your issues are due to googles changes.

About the purchase: detach and reattach nb from and to Google play using TB.

Well, about the purchase it didn't help.
I attached and detached from market.
Uninstalled it.
Went to play store- it only showed me the option to purchase it....

Strange. But it's definitely something on your side. No offence, but... You're aware there's both a free and a paid version of naked browser?

I wanted to say non offence taken, but I couldn't help it and took just a little .

Yeah, I know about the 2 versions.
Btw, I checked other apps that I purchased before and they appear as purchased.

Wait! As I write this post I tried and uninstalled it through android settings instead of through TB, and it worked!
Nb appears as purchased.

But still, the performance of the app is not as it was. Still acts as I mentioned before

Thanks anyway mate :thumbup:

The issues are Googles fault.

 

[gabi11]

Been having some double tap to zoom issues on kitkat since it doesn't work for some reason, not sure if it has been mentioned but it is annoying and I hope it gets fixed soon.

Did You check it on other browsers?
I tried and on firefox and lightning it works ok...

@aminaked when downloading a file using it's download manager,it shows always 0% even if it is downloading. using galaxy y duos gt-s6102,stock gb 2.3.6.

Does the crash happen in other WebView-based browsers like Zirco and Tint?

Just tried in Tint and it's happening there too. Looks like it might be a WebView issue.

This is a realy nice browser thanks for it

Can you please add a button to enable/disable (switch on off) the Text auto-size feature at a easily accessible place, like the url bar, next to the Home button.

The reason for this is because for some sites, the text looks better and easier to read (bigger) with Text auto-size turned on and Text size more than 100%, however, some sites with this feature turned on will look small like the site's author intended it to be (the Text size setting is ignored) and vice versa.

[Text auto-size refers to the new feature you introduced for KitKat users recently]
[Text size refers to the % text size setting that has been implemented since day one]
[This problem only affects KitKat users since there's no Text auto-size feature in older Android versions]

Examples (Setting Text size is 115%):

Text auto-size TURNED OFF:

Wikipedia (Mobile site) (GOOD - bigger font size according to text size 115% setting)

Knowyourmobile (Desktop site) (BAD - although text size 115% applied, font size still small)

Text auto-size TURNED ON:

Wikipedia (Mobile) (BAD - text auto-size feature turned on makes text size 115% setting useless)

Knowyourmobile (Desktop site) (GOOD - text auto-size feature turned on works well)

In conclusion, the text auto-size feature conflicts with the text size % feature. When both features are used, the text auto-size feature mostly shows its usefulness on Desktop version of websites and makes the text size % feature useless on Mobile version of websites.

Since there's probably no perfect solution for this and there's a lot of websites out there that only have a Desktop version with no Mobile version, I think it's best to put a Text auto-size ON OFF switch somewhere handy, like the URL bar as I mentioned. My temporary solution is going to Settings every time to turn this on and off (also i know i said this before but please add an option to make the URL bar always visible)

- In addition to the problem above, for some reason the Instapaper Text Bookmarklet (scroll down to Instapaper Text bookmarklet section) does not work in Naked Browser, but works perfectly when I tested it in Chrome. I hope you'll get this fixed as well.

Sorry for making you read this lengthy post
Thanks.

- In addition to the problem above, for some reason the Instapaper Text Bookmarklet (scroll down to Instapaper Text bookmarklet section) does not work in Naked Browser, but works perfectly when I tested it in Chrome.

Does the bookmarklet work if you don't call it from the bookmarks sidebar but from the homepage with the bookmarks (Naked browsers default start page)?
If so it's a bug (or not...) I've recently reported to animaked via mail. I know that calling a bookmarklet from the bookmarks homepage doesn't make a lot of sense but I recognized that some of my bookmarklets still work from there while they are not working from the bookmarks sidebar anymore for some time...

_______________________________

Here's what animaked came up with:

The bookmarklet I've sent him used replacements for some special characters (e.g. a blank ' ' was replaced with %20, ...). According to him that's not valid javascript and the script actually started to work again as soon as I edited the bookmarklet accordingly.

So the original instagram bookmarklet looks like this:

javascript:function%20iptxt(){var%20d=document;try{if(!d.body)throw(0);window.location='http://www.instapaper.com/text?u='+encodeURIComponent(d.location.href);}catch(e){alert('Please%20wait%20until%20the%20page%20has%20loaded.');}}iptxt();void(0)

The following reworked version should work again in NB Pro (not tested...):

javascript:function iptxt(){var d=document;try{if(!d.body)throw(0);window.location='http://www.instapaper.com/text?u='+encodeURIComponent(d.location.href);}catch(e){alert('Please wait until the page has loaded.');}}iptxt();void(0)

I'm not quite sure if this is actually a bug in NB Pro or not. Animaked states that the original code (with %20s) is no valid javascript but on the other side those bookmarklets used to work in NB Pro and still work if called from the bookmarks page and in many other browsers (Mobile chrome, desktop browsers like Firefox, Chrome, ...).
