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.

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

I just installed the new 2.3.6 and it only has the new market and cannot stand it. where can i get the old market apk so i can delete this one and run the old one only?
thank and yes i did search but could not find info on it. thanks again
What market version did the update give you?
I have 3.3.11 and 3.1.5 ...
the OP does not want the newest, he wants the OLD version of market without all the fancy slow stuff
IMO, you should be able to pull it off any old CM7 or CM6 ROM zip
and ADB push it to the phone, or use root browser to move the file there ../../App/..
Click on settings/manage applications/market/uninstall updates. You should be back to stock.

Not Long ago Adobe decided to discontinue flash player for android. And just after a few days, it eventually removed flash from Play store. But there was always Modaco( Paul O'Brien) who came into the rescue and wrote an app to download from adobe's server. I noticed that it was removed from the play store today.
For those who were not lucky enough or just wanna save a copy you can get it below;
View attachment install_flash_player.apk
does it work on the JB 4.1.1?
Yes, with certain browsers like xscope and boat.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
What version is this one? To cross reference it with the one I have. I think I got an update the other day for it from the playstore. Can't remwber if it was for my N7 or note 10.1. Note 10.1 had to have flash sideloaded also. I think they getting rid of flash no matter which android version you on.
It's version 11.1

Installation aborted? why is this not an APK?
Is it possible to fake the Flash Player version number. There are some sites which require Flash 11.2 so I can't display the content on my phone, because the latest version is 11.1.
Does it work for chrome?
Hey, thanks for the post. I am quite curious to know that does it work for chrome as well?
It worked for default browser but not for chrome. Any workaround???

Chrome doesn't support flash. No workaround other than using a browser that supports flash.

They are eventually doing away with flash, maybe it was html 5 you read about, because I highly doubt chrome will go flash.

Yeah, let's hope ALL sites do away with flash by the end of the year... fat chance. Chrome would be sooo much better supporting flash, it's just wasting space on my N7 now.

Rename the .zip to .apk, then install.
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

Here is the Galaxy Note 2 camera/gallery CWM zip. Installed and working great on Black Jelly 1.0.1. Looks like you might need to be on a deodexed rom.
I found it while I was in the recovery room after my back surgery and can't remember where I got it from so whomever originally posted this.... Thank You.
If you are having FC's while trying to use Best Group Pose, install the apk listed below. I will update any fixes/updates that I come across.
Also, clear cache and data from media storage, and then unmount and remount sd card....Thanks mis3

Haven't messed with it much yet but looking in the settings it has this. It will replace gallery and camera but I also have album as well from the Rom.

Thanks.. I think it is now called "Best Face" on the latest release, but I think "Best Group Photo" is the same thing. Wonder if I can flash on stock rooted JB.. Just did a Nandroid, so may have to try it out. thanks!
*EDIT - Does not work on rooted stock. gives errors on camera and gallery. Flashed via CWM.
For installation, do we flash in cwm or do we unzip and install?

CWM for install. Not sure why it won't install rooted stock...maybe it needs deodexed rom. I'm using Black Jelly and installed without any issues.

That would be my guess since the ODEX files aren't in the CWM zip file. I am pulling the Poland S3 update with the latest camera to see if it has the ODEX'd files along with the camera and gallery app. Thanks for you post Phoneguy589

Should this work on CM10/AOSP? I flashed and rebooted, still stock camera. Extracted the .apk's and copied them to /system/app and sat permissions as required, rebooted and still stock camera.

Might not because of good old TouchWiz. I've read the gallery and the camera are somehow tied together. You may want to look in the CM10 threads there to see what they might using. From what I've read their CM10 is just starting out...data, sms,calls and GPS only working.
Got it working on my stock Rooted JB. Just copied over the apks and lib manually in Root explorer instead of flashing via CWM. Renaming stock camera gallery and odex files

Hello All,
I have been searching high and low for a working all share app for ICS. I'm currently using The Blue Kuban and so far the closest I got was finding a dlna.apk v1.2 and I put the app in system/app folder and changed the permissions to
User Read + Write
Group Read
Other Read
Then rebooted and the app appears to be installed but it crashes after I open it.
Does anyone have any suggestions??
Please don't suggest another app lol.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
1. Nandroid
2. One Click or otherwise Flash a Rooted Stock Rom with working DLNA apk
3. Use ES File Explorer or another app to make a backup of the apk
4. Mobile Odin back to a recovery kernal (if necessary)
5. Restore & Install apk
Not an expert, but thats where I would start. I Hope that helps.
