I just switched roms and this rom has the htc browser and I don't like it. Can someone tell me how to switch to the aosp browser? I like the one that is called "browser"
I have tried just installing it but it fails
Try this, its the one I am using from VirusROM. Put on your SD card and flash it just like a ROM but dont wipe.

Can I ask what are the benefits of doing this? I like how I can copy and paste text on the web and from my knowledge you can't do that on the aosp browser (only can copy/paste the url).

He can do this but he has to remove the current browser. To do that either use root explorer or adb
I didn't have to do anything. I just flashed it like a rom and it worked great. Thanks!

Think I might have confused you ... no need to extract the apk, just insert it into the rom you're using. You can do that with root explorer, or even use ES File Explorer's "root option". You could also use adb to push it.
What I was referring to was, d/ling a rom and extracting it, for the files included. For that, I use 7-zip ...

From your original question, I thought you wanted the browser that comes stock with the Evo, so it's the HTC browser. Here's the aosp browser, which I prefer, by the way ...
I was trying to install this in my Evo. Moved the stock HTC browser from system>apps to my SD incase I wanted it back. Then moved the AOSP into system>apps and tried installing...will not let me install, and now I cant get either browser working. What do I need to do?
Thanks
I'm in the same predicament. I flashed the AOSP Browser.apk via a .zip that somebody created since, for seom reason, I couldn't just push it to /system/app. Then today I updated to the latest fresh (public release of that tomorrow) and my browser stopped working. I pushed the htc Browser.apk and it wont work.
Can't find that zip, also not a fan of the AOSP Browser.apk so I'm stuck.

Try this. Move the AOSP out of system>apps onto your SD or delete it if you dont want it anymore. Then move the HTC back into system>apps. Then reboot the phone. Then go back into system>apps and tap the HTC browser to install. Mine just all the sudden allowed me to install it, Im assuming it was because of a reboot after moving the files around.
hey man, it doesn't work.
I mean when I copy the app to my phone (HTC Desire) which is on modded ROM (which doesn't have Sense UI).
doesn't the app work because of the lack of Sense UI ?
I mean I've tried everything.
even if the app installs, then it just force-closes.
and I've tried extracting Browser app from oryginal Desire rom from Vodafone, I did extract it, but when I "installed it" on a phone through the recovery mode, the phone just didn't see the app.
even though the recovery mode said the app was installed.

Here's the stock browser from the ROM I use. Give it a go.
Hey,
When I try to install any application to my phone its giving me an error saying 'could not install on usb or sdcard "
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
I've tried rebooting and the whole battery removal deal. My sd card is not set to read only. And applications are installed on the phones memory then I move them to my sdcard if I need to.

That is the name of the recovery.
What ROM is your phone using? Like CM7 or Myns WarmZ?
Also, what app are you trying to install and how are you going about installing it?
I noticed this on another site the other day. http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...on-usb-storage-or-sd-card-problem-on-android/
Hope that helps.
That's the exact problem I am having. Problem is, that file is not in my sd card!
How do I find out what rom I'm using? Its not in setting.. about phone.
I can you my phone is rooted using unrevoked, and I have never changed any rom or thing like that... its just been unrevoked (the latest one) and that's it... then I just install apps. So, the default rom?
And the difference between my problem and the one you posted is that All APPLICATIONS CANT BE installed, not just some... but it's the same error, exactly as it appears on that link above.

What program are you using to view your SD card? As the article suggests, use Root Explorer to search for the file. You may not be able to see "hidden" files using other explorers. Root Explorer is the default ninja app. ;+)
As far as "what ROM," if you've only used unrevoked, yes, you're just on the stock "default" ROM, albeit a rooted stock.
I was using esfile explorer and I did select the option to view hidden files but that didn't show me everything, apparently. I know this because I connected my phone to my pc, view the files from there and then I found this stupid file that causes this error.
I didn't have root explorer and obviously couldn't install it because of the issue in was having.
Thanks for the help everyone! Much appreciated.

I came from a droid 1 and liked the stock android browser. I downloaded CyanogenMod and saw the Browser.apk in the app folder. Is this the stock browser or the HTC browser? When I tried to install it, it said ""this is a system application. do you still want to replace it" The thing is, I would like to run both browsers, so I can have the choice. I dont want to ruin my HTC Browser just in case I need it.
Can you help me load both on my phone?
I am running 2.3.3.
Thanks.

ok, so can i run both on the phone ,or is it going to be one or the other?
if its one or the other, anywhere i can get the default htc sense apk so that once i push the stock browser, i can revert to the htc browser. no, i am not rooted, and dont think i need to be now. sure, if i was rooted, i might be able to grab the apk from my phone, but since im not, is there anywhere to grab the apk on the net? i guess i could query anyone with a nandroid backup of the stock rom which might include the stock htc browser.

Since you can't replace system apps without root..and can't root since your on 2.3..I would say no you are out of luck..
If someone could modify the cm7 browser apk to another name throughout the apk, you might be able to do it.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA Premium App
For the most post I like and am fine with the stock browser. However, while I was running cm7, I came to like some of the differences between the stock cm browser and the stock sense browser. I tried swapping the apks between the two rooms (cm7 and incubus' rooted GB but the browser just fc'd. Is there a way to swap stock browsers between roms?
I'm currently running rooted stock gb and am happy with it except for that.

Did you install it then fun fix permissions? That may help.
Sent from my Droid Incredible running some random CM7 nightly.
How did you try to install the AOSP browser on your sense rom? I'd try putting it in system/app then setting the permissions to match the other apks. Should be r-w-rr.
Ah, I didn't try to fix permissions - I'll have to try it that way and see. Will report back, thanks!
No go - still force closes with matching permissions. I copied it over to the system\app folder with root explorer, changed the permissions and rebooted. I am going to try clearing the cache to see if that helps.
And clearing cache and dalvik didn't help, still FC. Hrm...
I don't think that's even possible since one is sense and the other is aosp.. and I can say this cuz I try getting the miui file explorer to work on a sense ROM without success...

Yeah, I can see that being the case, though I'd half expect to be able to get AOSP to work in sense, but not the other way around... *shrug*
Bah, I'll mess with it a little more and see, but I'm losing hope.
This is AOSP FLASHABLE ZIP
Installation instructions
1-download the zip file and copy it to your sdcard
2-go to recovery and flash the browser
3-wipe cache&dalvik
4-after booting you must go to app settings and wipe data for browser from all apps or you will allways get force close
5-hit thanks

You're a star!!!! Thanks!! All working now.
AOSP browser is IMO the best browser for android by miles.
Just quick question for you.....I like to change roms about once a week. Can I remove the stock HTC browser apk from my Rom zip and place this apk in there or would I have to flash your zip as I have just done?
yup

thanks.
ok tried some stuff myself...
seems to work.
to lazy ppl who dont wanna go to recovery to do such a simple thing:
1)just push the apk to system/apps and rename the odex and the apk of the sense browser to odexb and apkb
2)give it 664 premissions(-rw -rw -r) and reboot) have fun
3)oh and dont forget to delete the browser data and cach in all apps.or it will just force close.
works great so far.(few mins of testing(flash works fine)
thank you for the apk!
finally a normal tabbing experience(not the horrible 3d thingy with the x to exit...) now i just hope no ota problems.(i think what i did is revertable...)

I didn't overwrite it so I guess I'm fine with other even though I'm stock.
Just delete and rename again...
and of course I man stock... If I was non stock I wouldn't need any ota updates I like it manually.
I keep the stock only cos I want sense 5 when it comes...
Thanks a lot. I've been looking for a good stock browser for quite a while now with no success.
