It seems to be quite controversial. Ok, I put it back with warning. Thanks for your feedback!

In PR1.2, with long-press any key, you can access to the symbols/numbers on those keys without having to press the blue arrow key first. This is very usefull if you type with one hand, or if you have numbers between your passwords like "test123test". GOD bless you ALL! ;-)

Not sure if it's a known feature. But you can print images if you send them to a Bluetooth capable printer via Petrovich.

Thanks for your tip, but it doesn't work for me. It might due to the fact that I've Chinese input method installed.

Anyone else could confirm this so that I can put the tip on the list?

It does work.

There's even an app in the repos to disable that - should prove the existence of such a thing quite well!

If you have been browsing for a while and later your device become a little laggy, open an x-terminal and write "killall browser browserd" (without the quotes) as root. This will kill the browser's processes that remain running becoming your device slow.

GOD bless you ALL

Thanks for your tip, but it must be used with caution, because it'd cause the device to reboot. Try issue the same command three or more times and you'll see. ^^

While we all know that the browser running in the background all the time, I'd really like to know if there's a safe way to stop the current browsing service via terminal. Any suggestion would be welcome.
