Good launchers and web browsers for the TF300T?

[deathskater]

Well I've been trying to find good tablet launcher but all I can find decent is Nova launcher. Any recommendations? Stock lags a bit when multitasking so looking for something efficient ^_^ and thanks in advance . Hopefully this would be useful to other noob members like myself.

I'm also looking for a good browser that don't force close and flash videos can fullscreen, so far the only browser that lets me fullscreen flash videos is stock but it lags sometimes and annoys me

I'm not rooted just FYI I'll be waiting for fully stable CM releases later on ^_^

I like nova launcher the best, although apex is popular among Galaxy Nexus devs for some reason. But both have the same features like ADW themes, folders and whatnot.

I'm now using the go launcher hd, it's completely free and it's much, much smoother than the stock launcher.

I have never use nova/apex, what's the major difference between go launcher and nova/apex??

I haven't used go launcher hd but Apex and Nova are like an enhanced stock ICS launcher.

Yup I'm using Nova.. Apex lags when on power saving mode... lol kinda dissapointed my g2x tegra 2 under clocked to 750mhz doesnt lag with apex.. then again custom rom/kernel

Im a bit skeptical on current unlock/roms available ill wait till they get polished to have as daily use ,I dont like to keep updating and changing roms so often.

I'm also looking for a good browser that dont force close and flash videos can fullscreen, so far the only browser that lets me fullscreen flash videos is stock but it lags sometimes and annoys me.

Didnt feel like making new thread for this. Changed thread name also and edited first post

I've been using ICS Browser+ the last couple weeks for my browser. Happy with it. Like a modified version of stock browser. Feel it has more customization, more stable and I get fewer wait/force close notifications. Flash works fine with it.

I'm pretty happy with go launcher HD , but haven't tried anything else besides stock.
Dolphin will do flash.

Dolphin was my first choice and it did not do fullscreen flash videos but gota say I'm impressed with icsbrowser+ it simply works and its fast most stable i have seen yet for my tablet

I recommend overskreen it is 2$ but what it does is really nice and worth it for every tablet , it stays on top of any screen or app etc and u can resize it how you want its prety fast toobut it wont handle flash vids fullscreen when needed. Sure most of these browsers will fix that common problem eventually.

I honestly just use the stock launcher. I have nova and adw installed but don't really like them. Adw is too much and nova is ok but the ASUS widgets don't look right. That opinion will probably change for me later on. For the browser I really like how chrome shares of everything with my laptop. Thought about giving browser + a look though cause I do like the stock browser. Ics did a good job with everything almost to where the second launchers and browsers aren't really necessary like they were in the 2.2 days.

I agree after the build.prop mod the stock browser is the best and most stable. As far as the launcher nova and apex for some reason when running on powersaving both launchers kinda lag

I've been running with just the stock launcher really, haven't looked into alternative launchers yet.

Been using Dolphin HD for a while since I wanted LastPass integration, but before I did a factory reset (unrelated issues) it'd crash a lot with the latest version, hopefully that was just a random issue. It's fairly good otherwise and LP support through a plugin is very nice.

Dolphin cant handle fullscreen on latest firmware and my stock browser is actually being way faster than any other browser.. I'm honestly astonished by how its performing after the build.prop change. Only browsers that can handle fullscreen right now is stock and ics browser+ ( based on stock)

Thanks for the tip! ICS browser + and Browser2ram is a good combination. I don't understand why Asus left out the option for setting the useragent in the standard browser.

I just installed Browser2ram today. Really pleased with the performance so far.

Since I'm new to here and just got my Tf300 today... What particular build.prop mod are you referring to? I do plan on rooting this thing soon so knowing what you are talking about would be great

If you searh the development section you will find it. But be wary as this can brick ur tablet if done wrong, I assure you u will haveno problems if follow steps correctly and keep backup easiest way to do it is after ur rooted , read the thread and understand how it works before u modify anything

Oh I understand the risks since I am coming from the Tab 7.0 Plus forums and have done build.prop modifications myself. I was just curious as to where it was that's all

Browser2ram clears my cache and history every time it gets annoying

I find the stock browser very snappy with Seanscreamz build prop modifications and don't feel a need for browser2ram.

Im completly impressed by boat launcher its fast ,scrolling so smooth, flash plays better than stock browser including fullscreen and it has many options. I have found my replacement to stock and I really recommend it to everyone. Only browser i have fund that truly outperforms stock in every way
