Fennec Nightly on NC stock rooted 1.1v2

[511pf]

Anyone successfully try the Fennec nightly builds on NC stock rooted 1.1v2? Firefox 4 Beta 5 seems like the fastest browser, but it has a bad habit of locking up my Nook. I was hoping to try the Fennec nightly, but can't get it to install via APK. I'm trying to use the nightly build on the Firefox Wiki (can't post links yet).

When I try to install the app via APK, the install starts, continues for 5-10 seconds and then says "Application Not Installed."

I like Dolphin HD well enough, but it hangs for 10-15 seconds sometimes when loading sites. I've tried the other browsers and they all have some issue that makes them not as good as Dolphin HD.

Thanks!

If you have adb installed you could look at the log during the install process and see what the problem might be. If you don't have adb, maybe I can look if you tell where I can grab the APK.

Didn't know about ADB creating a log, so I'll take a look at that. Thanks!

I downloaded the package in the web browser and then used Linda to find and run the APK. It installed successfully and I was able to run it just fine.

Can you try what I did and let us know if it works for you?

Firefox RC on my Nookie Froyo SD card works well for me, too.

I only wish it worked as well on my original Droid- slow as molasses there.

Not Ready For Prime Time Yet

Fennec/Firefox seems to lock me up (running 1.1 Rooted, not overclocked). Also, the add-ons don't seem to install fully, nor can I seem to remove the built-in ones (e.g., Twitter, Wikipedia...) - I guess Mozilla seems to feel that I need those - LOL

Seems to be also a bit bulky just like Firefox for desktop - lots of bloat

just my $0.02

If you don't like Firefox I'd suggest xScope, if you don't need Addons. One of my favorite features with it are the Site-Specific UA options and Chrome like interface. It also has Basic jestures. Left/Right Swipe switches Tabs. Flick Up/Down under Notification Bar to hide it or show it. Pressing Menu hides the Interface for Fullscreen and a Hidden Feature of Double-Tapping at base of Tab to close the Tab(although there is a Tab menu) Also supports Flash plugin, plus Enhanced Copy-Paste ability so you can copy nearly anything on a Webpage.

Free version: Free from Market
Pro version: $2.99 from Market, $0.99 from Amazon Appstore

Pro version gives you screenshots and a few other features.

Tried installing the nightlies via Astro APK and it just won't work. (Nor will the Firefox RC.) It looks like this is because I uninstalled Firefox 4 Beta 5 via Manage Settings instead of via the Market uninstaller. When I go to the Market, it says Firefox is installed when it isn't. If I try to install any version of Firefox, I get the "Application Not Installed" error. I'll have to try it via ADB and see what happens in the log. Just haven't had time yet.
