Hi, I'm using androidme lite aosp ROM and would like to use the messaging .apk like the one found in codenames ROM (I mainly want the pop up notification option). I used root explorer and tried overwriting the .apk but I kept getting FC. Can someone maybe make a flash able .zip that would work?
Thanks in advance.
Bump but for stock?

Ya, for stock. Its basically a stripped stock ROM.
I made this one for bamf ROM, it should work with any jb ROM but make a backup first just in case

XDA Members & fellow GT-N7100 Owners:
Do any of you know how to replace the stock TouchWiz browser with the latest AOSP browser? And no; I'm not talking about Chrome. I'm talking about the latest AOSP browser that's available in certain 4.0.4, 4.1.2, & 4.2 builds... although I've yet to actually see it included in a 4.2 ROM.
Anyway, what I've got is a folder full of various AOSP browser builds. My goal is to, hopefully, replace the stock TouchWiz browser on my N7100 with one of the AOSP browser *.apk's in the folder I mentioned. I'd prefer the browser *.apk from 4.2, but I'd settle for the one from 4.0.4 if it would actually run. My handset is currently running stock, rooted ALJ3. What's odd is that I'm perfectly able to replace the TouchWiz browser on my I9300 with the AOSP one, but the same procedure done on my N7100 results in the browser repeatedly crashing.
So, if anyone out there has managed to get this to work on the N7100, PLEEEEEASE LET ME KNOW HOW!!! Also, I'm pretty sure that I saw a thread about this some time back, and I don't want to start a thread that someone else has already started, but when I searched for that older thread, I couldn't seem to find it. Maybe the thread I'm remembering was for a different device or something and I got confused. Whatever the case, apologies in advance if I have indeed just created a thread covering a subject that soneone else has already covered.
In conclusion, I really need to get the latest AOSP browser up and running on my stock, rooted N7100. I would be very grateful to anyone who helps... very grateful. So, thank you in advance.
Thank you,
Ed Mc Knight (Mister_Mxyzptlk)

Could you not just suitable the TW browser and adb push the AOSP one?

AOSP Browser crashes. Installing it isn't the problem; running it is.

Adb logcat would help track down what's causing it to go belly up when you run it.

I am also very interested in the stock AOSP browser. If you get a solution let me know. I'm going to do some experimentation if my own.

The files that need to be renamed aren't there on the n7100.

I think that requires you have the stock AOSP browser already installed. I actually got it working using the link provided a couple of posts up. I used the browser.apk to do it. Here were the steps I took:
Uninstall the Samsung Browser called Internet using Titanium Backup.
Reboot the phone.
Install the apk in the above thread.
Optionally use Titanium Backup to make the browser app a system app.
You should be good to go from there.

If you're looking for speed vs eye candy, try naked browser. It's the pure web kit wrapped in a simple UI, hence the name.

That worked perfectly. Apparently, the AOSP browser from 4.1.1 works, but the one from 4.1.2 & 4.2 doesn't. Thank you!

Million Thanks, worked
For those who want to do it the manual way (I prefer knowing what is being done)
(assuming you are rooted and have successfully mounted /system/app in rw and have busybox installed and have Browser.apk in /sdcard)
Code:
su
cd /system/app
cp -p SecBrowser.apk SecBrowser.apk.orig
cp -p SecBrowser.odex SecBrowser.odex.orig
rm SecBrowser.apk
rm SecBrowser.odex
sync
reboot
After reboot done install the apk file
Code:
su
cd /sdcard
pm install Browser.apk
Done
Thanks a lot, this is my faorive browser, I'm using it on my N7 also
Have a nice day all
We have 2 KF and I would like to root and install gapps. The kids don't want the launcher changed. In all my searches, I find instructions to install a rom and launchers after root. Can I keep the stock kindle launcher and have gapps/play store?

Sure you can.....you can either just root the tablet and install Gapps OR you can flash MoDaCo ROM which is just like the stock UI but has been streamlined for smoother performance. Best bet would be MoDaCo

Hello,
I recently learned how to root my phone, and am currently learning how to flash a new ROM to it. In my noob-ness I installed gApps before the ROM that I was trying to install and messed up all my google apps...
Is there a thread that is able to fix this in a relatively easy way or does anyone have any advice that may help?
Thanks,
Mofro

Why not just wipe your system and reflash the rom?

Hi,
Has anybody ever tried to install 2.3.4 Gingerbread browser.apk on Stock 6.3.2 ROM?
I tried a couple of browser.apk that I found with no luck (copying them in system/app, changing to the correct permissions and rebooting)
(I'm running [Rom] Stock 6.3.2 [Mods] [04.22.13] [Primary/Alt] by tobiascuypers)
Thanks
Long time ago, but I think the GO stuff is what you want.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I don't want to change the Launcher but the actual browser by using browser.apk from a vanilla 2.3.4 gingerbread ROM
