[Q] Replece Sence Browser With Stock 2.2 Froyo Browser?

I'm not a huge fan of the layout that htc Sence uses for the browser. It also has less options than the stock due to the fact you can only uncheck Mobile View not set the user agent to desktop. Now before everyone tells me I can set the user agent to desktop, I am not talking about the ua string agent selection available from about:debug. On stock froyo browser if you set the user agent and ua string agent to desktop you can access Hulu and a ton of other flash sites. Anyone know if this mod is possible?

I also want to do this and made a thread about it but seems its not possible?

I made a thread about doing this too
Unfortunately I was unable to find a way to do it, BUT Vaelpak released a rom a couple days ago that is built off the HTC 2.2 but with AOSP apps that works great- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755074

I'm pulling it and gonna try to install
Edit:
Yeah vael actually has an asop folder just uninstalled default browser with root explorer and rebooted then installed his browser. Works great. Using fresh 3.1.0.1.

Can someone help me with "SMART SHORTCUTS"

I know how to use it, but the problem I am having is after I get new programs I go to my Custom Freestyle section.. I long press and click to choose shortcuts..
YET nothing new I downloaded is in there??
Also, finally I am trying to do the bookmarks as well..
I open Dolphin, I save a bookmark, go back into Smart Shortcuts..
YET AGAIN, nothing is in there except the stock ****..
THANKS!!!

Modify stock browser

Is there a way to modify the stock browser to ALWAYS open a new tab when you hit a link?
I know you can do it with a long press then select new tab, but I want it always open a new one.
Running an. A100 not rooted. Will wait a for ICS before I root

Unfortunately no I don't think the stock browser provides a way to change that setting. I would suggest you try using Dolphin HD. Once its installed you can change it to your default browser. It DOES have that feature and many others. It seems to be one of the must have apps for a tablet.

Google search apk

Hey, can anyone link me their google search apk for ICS? I have deleted mine, and can't find it anywhere in the market. Thanks a lot

Should be here.

I have done that already, but the store says my device isnt compatible. Can anyone send me their version of google search for ICS Xperia arc s?

this is the one from Gapps for ics, move to system app etc...

Thanks a lot!

@sinkster
Is there another way??
Cuz my device isn't rooted, and no one around rooted it it!! As after install, I get a message of "Application not installed" :'(
device is MK802 Android Mini PC
thanks mate

The apk I uploaded needs to be either pushed with adb or moved to system/app with a root file explorer. Both require root, but if you don't have root then you can't remove it either... If you're looking for an ics like search box there's one free on the market.

Thank you for uploading that, it was exactly what i was looking for... I am rooted, and moved it to sys >apps but it doesnt work... it allows me to open in and type, and things auto populate, etc... but it doesnt ever actually search, or open the browser, etc after i hit enter... ??? and whenever i try to open settings, or click on anything in it, it freezes.. any ideas?
It is UNBELIEVABLY hard to find information in this version of google search... or even another google search ics apk for that matter. But on the ROM im using, the guy replaced google search with some other, hideous, quick search application and I would like to get rid of it and put google search back on, but am unable to download from google play, i am running on ICS 4.0.3.
Thanks alot!

Have you set the right permissions? Using root explorer or similar it should be: 1st row tick read, write: 2nd and 3rd row only read should be ticked. Screenshot's from my N5, but exactly the same settings.

Yes I did that back when i was trying to make it work... but then when i rebooted the device, it disappeared from the app list in sys > app and i couldnt find it anywhere else... so basically i just flashed Google Now (velvet.apk) onto it and i got that working fine, I realized that all i really had to do was delete my old Search app that the chef put on there and then my search button automatically made google now the default search. so i figured that one out atleast, that was bothering me hahaha... so i might be getting sick of this google now already though, it's laggy as hell and sometimes doesnt allow me to push on the links it provides, and is impossible to update.... so i might have to come back to this. in which case i shall post if i get it working on my device.
thanks for your help! keep on keepin on... hahaha
EDIT: you know what im gonna try to put it on again right now... haha. this google now thing aint gonna work out... haha. but maybe now that i deleted the other search it might work... we shall see *finger's crossed*

enable a disabled app?

I've disabled lots of apps I won't use - great feature, but I want to re-enable the stock browser to use it's download video feature.
Out of the whole list it's the only one that hasn't got a highlighted, 'pressable' enable button??
I tried uninstalling the Firefox Beta thinking it might ask what browser I wanted to use but no go.
Anybody got any idea please?

i had this too. but i had to do factory reset anyway, so that solved the problem. but otherwise i couldn't find a solution of how to re-enable stock browser

I couldn't even disable the stock browser so can't help there, but I could in 1.28

Ah... it's Eddy Elevate Didn't get an answer over there on the new help section so thought I'd risk it on here!
I think I'll just stick with Firefox, I really don't want to do a factory reset just after I've got everything just as I want it. I couldn't be bothered with another restore
Unless anyone else has an answer....

There must be a way of doing it, perhaps some sort of adb command?
