[Q] google chrome - force tabs? - Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

does anyone know how to force chrome browser into displaying with tabs on the hd6 rather than the small screen mobile display?
I'm aware dolphin & other browsers have the tab navigation but I'm loathed to lose the bookmark sync with my other devices.

You can use Xposed / AppSettings . Then set dpi to a huge number, or the screen size to a huge number. One of these should work. I had tabs, and wanted to switch, so that's what I did:

thanks, I tried changing both dpi & screen resolution and the res change showed a single tab as the page loaded - then blanked out as the page load completed.
can you suggest a specific setting? it does indeed feel like the right app for the job. i'd never heard of it before so cheers for the heads-up.

You got to use the right App Settings version for Lollipop :

thanks but unfortunately it's behaving exactly as described earlier with shown tab vanishing on page-load. I'll be fiddling with more combinations tonight and if I get lucky will share..

Well, try a different version of Chrome - it definitely gave me Tabs at some point !

good idea, I'm on the latest version updated thru play store. guess it's be worth trying the beta, dev or canary versions. thanks again.

I got this to work using dpi of 213. You can also use 160 but I found the tabs too small and fiddly with that setting.

Dolphin for Pad

MoboTap just released a honeycomb optimized browser. Get it from the market. Here
Given that it is a beta, some stuff remains needing to be ported over but for now you get:
Gestures
Add-ons
Multi-touch-zoom
Tabbed browsing
Side bars: Left side bar will change into windows list you opened
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-There still is some lag when browsing sites like XDA, and Facebook, tough.
The tabs stay at the top when scrolling! Lets hope they fixed the bug where clicking open in new tab didn't always work
could someone post the Dolphin For Pad apk? i'm on a Toshiba Folio 100 with cyanogenmod custom rom and obviously do not let me download
I'm using the new Dolphin for pad and holy crap its fast. I was actually quite dissatisfied with browsing on my GT but now its sweet as. I surf alot sites in New Zealand because we are moving there soon. Before it would just lurch but now with new Dolphin trademe and realestate.co.nz and inz cone up as if I'm on my desktop.

Thanks for the link. I'll give it a try, but don't see where it mentions flash. Does it do flash?

Nope still happens. Earlier I tried opening a link in a new tab (background tab) three times in a row and nothing. It took a fourth time for the new tab to appear lmao.

Yeah I am seeing it too. At least now that the tabs stay at the top, you can see if it is working without having to scroll up every time.

Yep. I spoke too soon, saw it just after I posted.
A new trick I found in this pad version is that you can use just two fingers tap the side of the screen to switch tabs.

I've found that if you're doing the longpress/open in background, if you just hold your finger on the background option for 1-2 seconds, it seems to open pretty reliably. Still annoying, but at least it works.

App tip: LCD resolution

I used this app to set the pixel density at 170 on my tab 8.9
I think it looks awesome, give it a try.

Thanks for the sharing. I am considering to change the LCD density but not comfortable to root yet (still reading and learning....).
1) Can you help post the screenshot on home screen, app folder screen. If possible, can you install the CNN News and post this app home screen etc. Due to original 160 setting, the font on CNN News is extremely small.
2) Can you help posting the above with 240 setting.
3) Any problem install app thru market (i heard market can only install with 160 or 240 LCD)? Anyway I am prepared to reinstall the old mkt version as it does not has this limitation.
Sorry to trouble you and appreciate your helps and sharing.
Hi,
Rooting is actually quite easy. Give the link below a try, so you can see it for yourself

thanks for the app recommendation. But my tab went crazy after switching density. gmail force closed, calendar force closed... it because quite unstable. Reset back to default density, and removed program. All good again.
kernel 2.6.36.3_motley_v2+
android 3.2
Strange, did you set it to 170?
not sure if I can tell a difference.. icons seem to look larger on the screen...
market and apps will act up if you change density. switch back to the default values to fix this.

I believe it's 170, at least according to the specs listed at GSMArena.com.
I'm not sure I understand the advantage of doing this. My display looks beautiful as it is.

You can use Dolphin browser or Boat browser to enable the fullscreen mode without the address and tab bar which uses up screen space.
You can also adjust the text size if you like in the browser's setting. Increasing legibility and using dynamic mode on the display setting helps too.

Once rooted, you can change your dpi in build.prop to fix this. Don't be surprised if it breaks other things though!

The
I tried to change res both higher 120 and lower 350 but both got problem , either the phone FC or the messaging FC , no luck , I think need to wait for custom rom
the best option is to use xposed framework
you can get it work after rooting
no need to flash
1. root the mega
2. install xposed framework like normal apk and xposed app setting app
3.now install module by going in to xposed framework app restart the mega
4.now install xposed app setting and restart again
5. open the xposed app setting app and choose any app you want to change its dpi or resolution without changing the whole system dpi,you wont get any fcs or unstable mega

So i am back xD, with another bug(ish) report when using/having snapcolors installed and activated snapchat has some connection issues on wifi,and doesnt work on 3g connection keeps saying "Could not refresh menssages pl try again"
Cool idea but I got 2 problems. First the size does not work for me and yes I typed the number and tryed double clicking it a lot of different ways. Second, when I click the volume down button once it skips thru like 2 or 3 colours so its kinda hard to go to the one I want. Also please add the default transluscent colour cause after I click thru the colours It isnt there so I have to take a picture again so it comes back. I have a samsung galaxy s4 if it helps and thanks for making the module.

Google Chrome Full Screen Status Bar Issue

Hey everyone,
I am new to this XDA forums so I might not know how to fully customise my thread.
I am having a problem with the Google Chrome browser lately on my device. Whenever I enter full screen mode to watch a video on a website like Youtube, my status bar is still showing. If I uninstall updates and use older version of chrome, then the full screen works fine. I don't know to fix this issue. I am currently using a Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon) running on Nitrogen OS 8.1 build date: 20180215 with unofficial open gapps 8.1 aroma 20180119. The screenshots below show what I mean.
Please Help!!
Thanks

I had recently changed ROM to AOSiP. In the notifications drawer there is an 'expanded desktop' toggle which I pressed to go in full screen. It is a bit annoying to have to do it manually but that is what I am doing.

While this may work with the Pixel 2 XL it certainly doesn't with the Axon 7 - mentioned settings are simply not available.

Axon doesn't have those display options? Does it have the unlockable Developer Options? (Tap Build 7 times or whatever)
If yes, look for the 'Smallest Width' option. Play around with some numbers. On my 1080p device it was the 'Small' setting in Display Size that broke Chrome, but it was the one i always used. Closest Smallest Width setting to that where Chrome Fullscreen still works is 403.

Ever since my last comment I got an update and now I have that setting. The notification goes away on "default" indeed, but I have to agree with it being way too big - which is why I have it on smallest on 2560x1440. I might try the smallest width option but I shouldn't have to do that... to me it seems like something is off with either android, chrome or both.

It's Chrome. I tested Firefox and Samsung Browser and they were fine. You've just got to find a number that works.
Can confirm that changing the Smallest width under Developer settings to 403 worked for me (Redmi Note 3 Pro, Android 9.0, Havoc OS). I'm glad I've finally found a solution here, I've been having this issue for so long now I can't even remember when this started happening (probably around the time OP posted here).
Thought I'd update you guys... the biggest number that worked for me was 420 (from the 423 before which is the standard setting). So not too much of a loss.
Minimum width
Once I have changed that setting to 403 width, full screen returned to normal full mode. Thanks for the help (note 9)
