Release notes/changes for 1.4/1.4.1

• fix to force close on mobile sites when double tap zoom cycle goes back to the “all the way out” setting
• double-tap/triple-tap anywhere on a page to zoom
• setting to change triple tap delay value in advanced settings (so the lower the setting, the more responsive double-taps are, but the quicker you have to get your triple-tap in!)
• setting to change double-tap behaviour, between the existing zoom cycle, and also now just a simple zoom out only setting (so if you want to just keep it simple, and have double-tap to zoom in, triple tap to zoom out,
  the latter will be the setting for you). How many zooms this will result in per cycle will depend on the page you’re viewing.
• change to double-tap zoom cycle behaviour - now zooms ALL the way out to give a true page overview, and also introduces an intermediate step between page overview and 1:1 zoom (this is a nice level for sites with
  big fonts, eg. aintitcool.com)
• click title bar (or top of screen) to bring down the address/search bar
• click top left of screen to go to home page. Click it a second time when on the home page to exit the browser completely (or double-click from elsewhere).

0. If you have an official RC29 or lower phone, type the following command on the phone keyboard to enable adb:
<enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter>

1. Download the SDK and unzip contents to a directory on your computer.
http://code.google.com/android/download.html

2. Download the USB Driver and unzip contents to a directory on your computer.
http://dl.google.com/android/android_usb_windows.zip

3. Connect the phone using the USB cable provided with the phone to your computer and direct your computer to search for drivers in the location you unzipped the drivers in.

4. Open a Run command prompt (WIN+R) and type cmd, then go to the directory where you unzipped the SDK and go to the “tools” directory. In the command prompt type: adb.exe shell

5. Type in the shell session and you should see the menu change on your phone:
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings

6. Configure Wifi settings on your phone and the phone should be able to connect to the network, remember to WAIT for the phone to verify it has connected the network before exiting the screen, else you’ll have to redo the shell command in order to access the screen

7. Register the phone and watch everything sync.
