out of no where one day, i went to use my browser and i got process com.android.browser. any time i try to use browser now i get that and i have tried everything. i really DONT want to do a factory reset, or root. is there anyway someone can send me the stock browser.apk? do you think that will work?
??????????
Out of nowhere Something had to have happened to cause that, or your phone has a serious issue - browser is a system app(?) and since we don't have rw access on the slide there's no way it could have deleted it especially while it's booted and definitely wouldn't if you're not rooted also.
Do a full reboot, power it off and power it back on, it should be ok. If that doesn't work, think back to the past few days prior to this, what have you done or installed?
Yet another example of why you should be rooted - nandroid
its been like this for a month its been restarted many a time =/ the last thing i was doing on it was watching youtube videos on the browser but using the streaming video player rather than the utube app i was listening to white noise music to fall asleep. then when i woke up thats when it stopped working
Well I'm not sure if it's possible (or allowed) but I'll try to pull the browser.apk off my phone and post it on here for you. Hopefully it's not odex(ed), if it is that creates an issue for a non rooted phone.
MODS: If I'm not allowed to post it then just delete it once it's up or let me know before I do.
OK, here's the browser file. Just load it to your sdcard and use a file explorer to install it or an apk installer. I would reboot after you do it, hopefully it will work but it's a shot in the dark since I doubt it will install in the normal ./system/app/ directory. If it even installs, it will probably go to the ./system/data/ directory (just in case you ever need to find it or remove it).
BTW, this is the browser from froyo/Team Fenix 2.0, might not work if there's any difference in the browser. If not, go to this thread download the file, unzip it, and look for 'system' > 'app' and then find the browser.apk. Put it on your sdcard and install it.

ok first way didnt work. second way i unzip the file and its .img files what do i use to open those?
Wow, I just realized that I posted the link for a stock nandroid backup - not at all what you need. I'll post the link to slidemeroot, it's a stock rom (not nandroid backup) and I'll upload the broswer from that in this post.
The browser on the stock rom is odex'ed, there may not be a way to install it without rooting but give it a shot. If all else fails and you don't want to root you'll just have to install a different browser from the market like dolphin or opera.
OK, uploaded the borwser.odex file (unzip it after you download it). Here are the commands to [hopefully] get it to work that you need to run through command prompt. You should just be able to copy and paste the adb commands one at a time. You'll have to get adb to catch your phone in recovery mode in order to do this since you'll be writing to the system so be prepared for a headache since your doing this without rooting and flashing an eng build, but if it works you'll be happy you did it
Code:
adb remount
adb push browser.apk /system/app/browser.apk
adb push browser.odex /system/app/browser.odex
You'll need to make sure the files are in your android sdk tools directory and you 'cd' to it. If you have no idea what I'm talking about check the slide rom bible thread and look at one of the links about rooting - you'll understand
That won't work. You can't have the same app installed in both /system and /data.

So he would have to get in to recovery and delete the original browser apk from /system/app then re-install it and the odex file? The browser should be in the sysyem/app directory from the factory right? The /data/ dir. is for custom installed apps.
The easier way would be to uninstall the browser apk and odex file from /system/ and just install the first browser apk I posted which will install to the /data/ dir.
Can that even be done through adb without root? Or is the a way to 'sudo' with android like you do with ubuntu?

Ok well I modded 2 apps, by using adb push and pull and it works fine, the modded widgets both comes up just like how it should with my design added to it.
But whenever i restart my phone the 2 apps just disappears and i haven't got a clue why, they doesn't come up in my widget menu or in the app launcher and i'm having to download them from the market and install them again
When i go to Root Explorer and go to the folder where I pushed it too it says it's still there. I've pushed the app to where it should be /data/app where all the other downloaded apps are stored.
Can anyone help?
Yeah i can help. Root explorer and any other app that lets you edit system files is useless. The only time we have write access to system on a Desire is from a custom recovery. If you flash one of these using Unrevoked then boot to recovery and push files they will stay.

Hello devs.. i am trying to use adb while im in the clockwork recovery screen to remove some apps and some unwanted audio files. Everything is ok as far as being rooted and getting a number sign and the adb commands. The issue im having is that i cannot cd to the app folder. I can cd to the system folder and sdcard folders with no problem. But when i cd into the system, and then i use the list command "ls" to show me what im working wit it says app. But when i try " cd /system/app or cd /app " it says directory doesnot exist. Is there something im doing wrong here? I have installed, removed, pushed and pulled many apps using abd perfectly and i am not a noob.. but it seems like its a whole new ball game when it comes to the slide.. the super user tasks managers no longer work, a dev named roman told me they no longer work and i would have to use adb in clockwork recovery mode to execute any changes to the phones files. But im stuck at this point. Any suggestions? Also i have tried to remove the files directly with a command like " adb rm /system/app/Gallery3D.apk or rm /system/app/Gallery3D.apk" with no results. Is there a way using adb to delete the contents of an entire directory without deleting the directory itself? Thanks in advance devs

Better way of doing it is using 7zip and removing/addin files that way,than flashin that rom,its cleaner and faster.

This is kind of a cross post from the Apps forum, but I am getting no response there. CM6 uses a different music app than the stock HTC player, and the stock player works with the included headphones that have the control buttons. Which ROM can I steal the HTC player from and push back to my phone?

You could try to push the HTCMusic app from the OTA update. But I think it might be odexed so you might run into a problem. I haven't checked it out yet

Do you think it's best to do it from clockwork recovery? What I have been doing is just doing a delete from inside the rom with win rar before installing.
You can use Android Commander which also works for the slide. You just need to be in recovery with both your system and cache mounted so it will make changes otherwise it'll look like it did on the computer but actually when you restart the program you find it did nothing. lol Don't forget to open the program with Administrator Rights. I think the program makes things much easier.

Hi there,
I am having some issues with playing flash in my browser. Most flash videos I attempt to play, there is just a black screen with the sound.
Funny thing is, one site I frequent, tsn.ca, when I play the flash video, the commercial works without issue but the main flash video there is just audio and a black screen.
It's been an issue for at least 2 weeks. Not sure when it first started. I update to Cyanogens Nightlys every day.
I have a Nightly backup from March 29th and the video works flawlessly on that rom, but when I download the newest nightly I'm back to the same issue.
Currently running Flash 10.3
ClockworkMod 3.0.2.6
CyanogenMod-7-05252011
Radio - 26.08.04.07_M3
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i had the same problem but it's been remedied with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13956612&postcount=4461
uninstall flash with ti backup (uninstall app & wipe data) then install. it should work.

Finally got around to trying the fix, still doesn't work. Commercials play without an issue, actual video is just black. So damn annoying. This doesn't appear to be a issue with most people so I have no idea what the heck the problem could be.

Thansk for the help but it did not work. Finally got it working following this directions from another website
To get Flash 10.3 working on the stock browser you need to do two things:
1) force stop the browser process
2) Remove all permissions for /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data
*Fix also works for Dolphin. Just change com.android.browser to mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser
Changing the permissions restricts the flash plugin or the stock browser or the webkit or I dunno what from reading config.data. This file is screwing with video playback of anything over 240p.
What's weird is that the config.data generated for 10.2 and 10.3 appears to be identical, except for the ProductVer string. Since the file contains settings for h264 high, baseline and main profiles, there's probably some change in 10.3 to the way it uses this information.
Either way, this is a bandaid for those that don't wish to use Opera until the heart of the issue is found/addressed.

Perfect, thanks much and works for me too.
For other's not too unix friendly.
start an adb shell, might have to adb remount too
su for superuser rights
cd to go to the affected directories
chmod 000 config.data to revoke rights to the file
Thanks dude! It also works to just delete the plugin folder and install flash again.
Thanks guys, but how do I delete the plugin folder, or remove permissions? I'm a total noob for rooting, please help!

Use any file explorer that can access nand files e.g. root explorer, es file explorer. Just make sure that you have S-OFF and root your phone.

thanks, but the plugins folder apparently doesn't exist on my phone, the only folder within that directory is /lib. I think will try to install 10.2 on my phone and see if that fixes the problem. Perhaps 10.3 and 11 is not supported by the Infused v2 ROM.

Make sure you have root.
Force close all browsers.
Using Root explorer/Fileexpert .. go to /data/data and look for app_plugins folder for each browser.
in app_plugins/com.adobe /.macromedia /Flashplayer
Remove all permissions for config.data file. Do the same for all browsers stock/miren/dolphin etc.
Flash video will work on all sites.
in /data it says that the directory is empty. I'm using File Expert
Anyone else having blank flash player screens?
Im on CM7.1 btw and latest flash player.

Basically I want to install these mods: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287810
I have the stock rooted kernel (found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282415) which doesn't include CWM. Is there a way to install these mods without flashing through CWM?
Thanks.
I heard that rom manager now support our phone, it installs latest CWM version 5.0.2.7
I usually use adb push
Looks like you need a custom kernel for Rom Manager to work right now.
Can I just replace the files on my phone with these files and reboot?
use Odin to flash custom kernel with cwm compiled. lostkernel or zedomax's kernel both got cwm.

No without custom recovery which is what cwm is you can not flash anything that is not signed by samsung .....you could flash an update through the samsung recovery but everything else will fail signature check .....that is why we use odin and clockwork mod
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Technically yes you can. You would have to know how and where to push everything via adb but if you don't know or are uncomfortable I would definitely avoid it.
Hey romanodog you get CWM with stock rooted kernal without having to odin anything. All you have to do is do the following:
1. Go to the thread called " Lets Get Rid of that Yellow Triangle" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297999)
Note: with the root method you used you wont have the yellow triangle but this is necessary to get cwm on stock kernal.
2. Download and extract the the zip called "chris41g.devphone.org/LoStKernel/FlashzImage.zip" to your desktop or directory of choice
3. now open this folder and delete the file called zImage
4. go to this thread called "Stock Pulled Repacked with CWM5" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305099)
4. download the StockCWM5.zip file and extract this new zImage to the folder FlashzImage
5. run the bat file
Note: after you replace the zImage you can pretty much follow the how to video done by QbKing77 (thank him) in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297999
cool thanks man, I will have to try that out
you can do all the mods without cwm quite easily.
just take the files from inside the zip and use a file browser to copy them to the phone.
i use es file explorer mostly, its free and lets you access the root partition.
available in the market.
(you can also use the adb push command if comfortable with a command line from the pc or a terminal emulator such as connectbot from the phone)
the trick is just figuring out where the files go. luckily when you unzip the mod you'll get folders such as
meta-inf
system
ignore the meta-inf
its the system folder you want
system> which will usually contain something like app and framework folders
just copy those files to /system/app and /system/framework viola! either overwriting the files already there or better yet backup those files or rename them first.
no cwm needed but you do need root
p.s. also you may need to reboot for changes to take effect

What is the difference between the two downloads? I downloaded the first one, but have to wait an hour before I can download the second one. Should I install the second one and not the first?
I'm having trouble installing this with CWM. I have my system and data mounted to an external drive and CWM doesn't access it. It keeps saying folder not found, then it reverts to what I assume is the original internal data folder on the FTV itself. I'm not sure how to access this internal folder now using a file explorer. Any thoughts that don't involve messing with unmounting my external drive?
**Edit** I manual replaced the framework-res.apk using root explorer, then realized I needed to install your second files as well and now it works prefectly! No more black background for me. I've got a spinning galaxy and stars!
Thanks for the work on this!

so just push the framework-res.apk to sdcard and replace it w/ the one in the system folder? because I did the install via cwm to no avail and I installed the 3 apks in the background.zip manually
be sure mount /system in cwm manual. should work, or replace it manually via fileexplorer and to be sure
chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
and don't forget to have a backup via cwm to be safe...

I am curious what Amazon apps you've removed and what other mods you've done. Can you update what you've been up to with the FTV?
I only made a backup of all amazon apps, i might to remove, with titanium backup before i uninstalled them.
f.eg. amazon app store, circle, movie, mp3, photo (installed gallery2.apk from a 10.1 cm stock rom) installed clock.apk from rom to exchange amazon screensaver and replaced it with a clock. but i messed to much around, so i had to go back to my backup i generated with cw recovery
also deodexed apps and framework files to get a little more space on sys. also deleted files under vendor/amazon (here are the overlay-files stored.
sadly i'm out of time for this week to extend my tsteing in getting a full settings.apk working wich i had before i messed up while replacing all system apks from a cm 4.2.2 rom

That screenshot looks awesome! I want to try it when I have time. But I also noticed you have ROM manager installed. I never even thought about using it, probably because I have twrp on my other devices. How's it working for you? Are you able to use the stock remote?
That's a much better option than plugging in a USB keyboard every time you want to do something in recovery.
Took me a while to get it straight, but below are my simple instructions for us that aren't fluent in all things Android...
Download schybiorz's files from this thread.
http://uploaded.net/file/8awolkyk
http://ul.to/oqs87yb6
Extract "framework-res.apk" from the zip file in the first download above. Copy the "framework-res.apk" file to your FireTV. I used AGKFire.
Extract and install the apk's from the second download above. You can just click on them from ES File Explorer if you've pushed them, or use AGKFire or whichever method you use to sideload apps.
I also installed the "Gallery.apk" file, downloaded from the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953999
Backup your FireTV "framework-res.apk" file. I used Root Explorer from the Play Store. Navigate to the /system/framework/ directory and copy "framework-res.apk" to your sdcard somewhere to save as a backup.
Connect to your FireTV using adb from your computer and type the following commands:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb connect [FireTV IP Address]
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp /sdcard/AGKFire/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
exit
exit
Then, just reboot your FireTV. Take note, in the cp (copy) command above, the copy-from location (where I have AGKFire) needs to be where you have the apk file on your FireTV. So if you have it in the root of the sdcard, the command will be as follows:
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
I tried to flash schybiorz's zip file using cwm, but for some reason, it didn't replace the "framework-res.apk" file, which is why I did it manually as indicated above. I also didn't do a cwm backup, so proceed at your own risk.
I use Nova Launcher, so I have to use a mouse to pick wallpapers from LiveWallpaperPicker or the Gallery, but live and static wallpapers work wonderfully now though!

Needed this!!! Thanks for the detailed instructions, because I tried before using a mouse I copied the original framework-res.apk and put it in another folder, then pushed the downloaded framework-res.apk to sdcard...but got an error when copying the downloaded one. so now I guess I can just go ahead and run the command cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk and it will copy it?

You will have to enter the commands as I listed them...well, as far as I know. I did quite a bit of Googling. You must make the system directory writeable, which is the reason for the "mount -o rw,remount /system" command. Then, the chmod command sets the permissions once you have copie the modified framework over.
But I did just notice that someone made a xposed wallpaper enabler module in the 'FireTV Themes and Apps' forum. Which may be the better way to go...easier anyway.

just install via cwm. for sure do a backup before.
i'm not responsible if something went wrong, with this installation.
ALSO Do A BACKUP of your original Framework-res.apk!!!
Also don't forget to install Gallery.apk or livewallpaperpicker, else it is not possible to select any wallpaper.
so after a factory reset i wanted to try it again.
sems that i might have installed some other parts from another rom, like systemui.apk-
Here are the files ex framework-res
http://ul.to/oqs87yb6
after this, u might see the green background. Just start your favourite launcher and set any wallpaper u like
Have fun

Can we please upload them to a free web hosting? Uploaded.net while claiming it's free isn't. When ever you try to download a file via the "free" link, you get this:
The free download is currently not available - Please try again later! Premium account users are not affected by this temporary limitation.
Thing is, over the last 6 months to a year, that is the message you always get, doesn't matter the time of day.
So please do us cheap peeps a favor and put them on a free site.
thanks

You can also use any 4.2.2 wallpaper and live picker apk you want. no need for mine. but feel free to upload them on another hoster.
Important is the fact, that the wallpaper service is enabled in framework-res, wich is now easy done via xposed-module ^-^

Ya, but I can't download the framework-res file either, and while googling brings up may places that have the file, I do not know if they have the changes you did for the AFTV.
So if someone could be nice and upload the files to another file hosting site, i'd be thankful.
