There will be a signature mismatch with the stock browser that is installed.
Once u uninstall it like i showed, then u can install/uninstall this like a regular app.
Edit : I cud make this into an update.zip if ppl want it tht way :S. That will replace the stock browser with this, but since core won't be running it won't complain about a digest mismatch in the manifest.

hmm okay i see an update.zip would be cool if you could thanks for this!

sorry for the stupid question, but... What do "fullscreen" means? What practical improvement we get?

Do u have adb setup ?
Like if you open command prompt / terminal and type "adb devices", u should see ur device. if you see "adb not found" or "list of attached devices" with noting underneath it then u haven't setup correctly. Google for setting up adb on ur platform.

Thx for help. I have uninstall it without problems. But by the installation i typing:
# adb install browser.apk
adb install browser.apk
adb: not found
#
I have copying your browser.apk in the tools folder. So what do I do wrong?
Thx you!

[MARKET] I got it working...

root your fire and put 3 apk on /system/app. please let me know if it works. i got it working.. downloaded apps

I have it too, but I can't get the market to show up in the app drawer...

And do the apps install okay

Anyone else test this out yet?

Yuppers.. worked for me after none of the other methods did. Thank you!
Downloaded zip
Used ES File Explorer to copy to /system/app <with HiAPK and system r/w enabled>
Rebooted

LOL, man I just figured that out last night. Thanks a lot! You really don't know how many people you are gonna help out!

This works for me but I do not have a market icon. I used the command below to launch the Market and was able to install and play Minecraft PE perfectly:
Code:
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.vending/.AssetBrowserActivity

Use this method to install the market. Also us the link at the bottom for market opener to get it to show in the kindle apps.

[How to] Configure Terminal Emulator to use Correct BusyBox & Improve Shell Features

[How to] Configure Terminal Emulator to use Correct BusyBox & Improve Shell Features
A little info on Android, Terminal Emulator, and Busybox
I'm very new to Android. I just got my first device a few months ago(my A100). I have used linux and other forms of unix off and on for over a decade though so I do have some applicable knowlege.
After writing Flashex I have noticed allot of people with miss configured environment variables for Terminal Emulator. The defaults in Terminal Emulator are NOT configured to use the right Busybox. This can make doing ALLOT of the stuff around here seem allot more complex then it is.
How to improve the way Terminal Emulator works
==============================================
(Note: I'm going under the assumption that Busybox is located in /system/xbin. It should be normaly, though it doesn't matter for this as long as you know the correct location and can put in place of /system/xbin in these directions)
1) Launch Terminal Emulator.
2) Look in the Menu in the upper right hand corver and select "Preferences".
3) Scroll down to the "Shell" section of "Preferences".
4) Select "Command Line" within the "Shell" section of "Preferences" and change it to the following;
/system/xbin/sh -u
Then Select "OK".
5) Select "Initial Command" within the "Shell" section of "Preferences" and change it to the following;
export PATH=/system/xbin:$PATH
Then Select "OK"
6) Now you will probably want to scroll up and change the color of the terminal background and text in the "Text" section of "Preferences".
Congratulations! You should now have a Bourne Shell(sh) with, color coded file types, TAB auto complete, and the correct Busybox version in the Terminal Emulator! YAY!

Why do I keep getting permission denied in TM?

Is your device rooted? Do you have busybox installed?

You may be getting the permission denied error if you used This root method because it used a non standard install of Busybox to do the job.
It can be updated from what I understand by just downloading the J Rummy Busybox installer from play.google.com and reinstalling Busybox. Also as asked above if you don't have busybox installed you wont be able to point TE to it.
Hope that resolves the issue

Re: [How to] Configure Terminal Emulator to use Correct BusyBox & Improve Shell Featu
I keep getting the same error with terminal emulator and script manager:
Unable to confirm location of BusyBox, please make sure you have busybox installed
Looked in /system/xbin if you have it installed in another location, you can just edit the path at the top of the script

Sorry only A100 support allowed here.
But really, eyelash your rom if anything like that happens. Just flash the rom+gapps first and should fix it otherwise factory reset.

[Q] Sandvold freezing at boot

I am using Sandvold's ROM but, starting from some days ago, I encountered a big problem: during startup, my Desire freezes and cannot terminate the boot sequence. Even a nandroid restore is not able to fix it: I have to factory reset the device and, after that, restore works. I haven't changed anything, I don't know what could cause this problem, which is very annoying.
I use the latest version, 0.18.2.1.
What could I do?

I'm using the same version of the ROM and for a while now it has been randomly freezing up and I have to physically remove the battery to be able to restart it, after which it resets the date back to January 1980.
Today it froze up and it is also stuck in a boot loop. Tried wiping the dalvik cache and that didn't work so I'll do the factory reset like you suggest. I don't really want to have to switch back to a GB ROM though as I really like ICS.

Same problem here, the problem started when I rebooted today. Running sandvold 0.18.1.
After some digging I could identify a rough source of the problem, but I'm not Android guru, so it will take somebody more experienced than me to figure this out. Essentially, what happens, is that the system_server goes into a loop and keeps on crashing and getting restarted. I've attached the logcat for the gurus.
I'll try reinstalling and possibly wiping to see if that helps.

Just a quick followup, I had to do a full wipe to get back to working order. Attached is a comparison logcat. I don't really understand how Android boots, so I would kindly ask the more knowledgeable devs to have a quick look. Thanks!

After setting the phone up and rebooting, the problem is back again. Seems like there is a time/date-related bomb in sandvold 0.18.

The same problem at 0.18.2.1.
As much as I found it works (is able to survive reboot) until any soft from Google Play was installed.
After that it has a bootloop on reboot.
Actually I didn't try to install anything from .apk so it can be related to the installation process itself.
Also the same problem has 0.17.1.1 (I don't сheck all versions, just the last ones of majors).
---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------
0.16.1 - the same problem.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Wipe and install ICS
2. Add google account (at that point the phone still survives a reboot nicely)
3. Install any soft from Play
4. Reboot and enjoy the bootloop
Add: update of an existing soft from Play still causes a bootloop.

SOLVED there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355660&page=1661
Briefly:
0. Make sure you have adb and phone drivers so you can connect to the phone from computer via "adb shell"
1. Google for Vending-3.8.15.noupdate.norestrictions.apk, download it, rename to Vending.apk, place to sd card
2. Reboot into Recovery mode, use menu to mount "system" and "sdcard"
3. Run "adb shell" on computer
# cd /system/app
# ls
You should see Vending.apk somewhere in the list
This will delete the broken Play Store app
# rm Vending.apk
# rm -r com.android.vending
# rm -r com.android.vending.updater
Settle the correct Play Store app (assuming you placed the downloaded Vending.apk to the root folder of sd card)
# cp /sdcard/Vending.apk /system/app/
4. Clear Dalvik cache
5. Profit!
Now reboot and enjoy the regular booting.
Also you can use the Play Store to install applications.

Thank you!
I was trying to see if the same method could be performed with the terminal emulator (I haven't installed the sdk, so I don't have adb), when I realized that the superuser app is broken, too. The "su" command in terminal isn't working, as the superuser app stops.

I also tried to do this via Terminal, and my "su" is ok.
But it doesn't work.
It looks like commands are being executed successfully, but it in fact they aren't.

Same problem for me...I'll try to fix it following your help!!! I let you know!!
It work, but I'm not able to "install" the edit Play Store downloaded!!! Reboot work, but no Play Store present among my applications!!!
I find com.process.vending in my application list, but it's a grey icon whit the small sd symbol!
I'll try again to uninstall it!

I have the same problem but, when I tried to use the dietwice's method, I found only the Vending.apk on /system/app folder. So I removed it, replaced with the Vending.apk file downloaded and I continued to follow the method and then I rebooted the phone.
The boot loop is present also after this, so I'd like to know if the fact that I didn't found com.android.vending and com.android.vending.updater is a signal that something was wrong even before applying the dietwice's method.
Someone can answer to my question, please?

I have the same problem as freakymonkey. Any Ideas?

I have flashed the ROM again from ClockworkMod recovery and, first to make the reboot, I used the dietwice's method and everything went OK! :good:
On the first boot something went wrong with synchronization with my gmail account, but after a reboot (without boot loop) everything worked fine.

I restored everything but sd-ext and it (re)booted fine, so it has something to do with that. Maybe some Google Play Store data is still on there? How can I get rid of these?
EDIT: Ok, I found some files, will try to delete them tomorrow.

Following the main Sandvold discussion, I've FIXED it!!!!
At the end of the procedure, I needed to do "adb uninstall com.android.vending" and then reboot.
I've Play Store back! )))

I have been unable to get the Play Store back on my HTC Desire. I have followed the above steps exactly but no shortcut appears on the applications screen.
I have tried wiping the dalvik cache, even did a fresh install of ICS Sandvold Rom but no luck.
Could it be because of the default a2sd?
Any assistance much appreciated guys

Here you go install go to settings and enable systemless mode https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6bczptEI-1LNHphSUQxRDg1RWM/view?usp=drivesdk

Here are the instructions for install Adblock without Recovery (e.g. TWRP):
1. Download Adaway from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24588232905720420
2. Download a Terminal emulator from Playstore
3. Give him root (just type in the emulator "su" and allow root
4. Copy/write this in the Emulator and press enter:
mkdir /su/etc; cp /system/etc/hosts /su/etc/hosts; echo "#!/su/bin/sush\nmount -o bind /su/etc/hosts /system/etc/hosts" > /su/su.d/50adaway; chmod 0700 /su/su.d/50adaway
5. Restart your Phone
6. Install Adaway
7. Allow Root
8. Press install and follow the instruction
I hope this helps

Way too complicated. For AdAway there is a check box in pref for systemless now. Just install AdAway and check that box. Don't need to do anything in terminal.

not working for me... downloaded adaway from above link and no systemless box to check in pref that I see. Also tried running the command in terminal emulator but I get an 'event not found' error
update: I had to use the official 'Terminal Emulator for Android', which I wasn't wanting to use at first and used a different one because it would not let me copy and paste the above command line into the emulator, I had to physically type that whole thing out. But it said that the su folder exists which was the only confirmation I received in the emulator. Then I rebooted and installed, all good now!

Adclear from seven is free is just like adguard
But all those non root adblock apps use up battery.
