Uninstalled internet and installed browser apk from zip. Thank you so much!

What's different in the aosp browser? Why change or of interest?

There is a aosp browser in the play store which is the exact same browser but with more options love it.

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.

[Q] fb21 help needed

Ok this is totally a noob question and help would be greatly appreciated I accidentally replace touchwiz browser with stock ics browser. I was ok with it at first but I miss the automatic text re flow on touchwiz. I tryed to use system app restore to restore it from a fresh install but it wont work. Any one know how to fix this?
Go into settings -- applications -- all then scroll down to the launcher and select clear defaults.. Hit home button and you will have the option to select TW as default..

I dont mean the Launcher I mean web Browser but thank you for that
Ahh... Misread sorry..
A little more info is needed.. How did you replace TW Browser with ICS Browser? From market or did you delete TW Browser from phone and push ICS Browser to system/apps??
(should be posted in Q & A section) Im a bit confused to with what your asking. Did you download an after market browser or what? The FB21 leak only comes with 1 browser, it comes with 2 launchers (a launcher is the User interface that you use to locate things throughout your phone) either way if you altered the defaults for your browser or launcher, follow as he said and go to the app (.apk) and select it then clear defaults.

Here is the link to the apk I used, it is from a Nexus S JB ROM, but ICS may work too. IDK:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11759879/Browser.apk
I used ES file explorer with root permissions to do this.
Just place this app in your /system/app folder, change the permissions from rw------- to rw-r--r--
NOW this is important, If you see a browser browserproxyprovider.odex You should rename them! I just threw a 1 after the file extensions.
If you don't do this step the browser will just forceclose.
Now reboot and you are all set
I haven't tested everything yet. But it loads webpages and the settings menu. I will check flash and make sure everything is fine with chrome when I'm no longer in class.
Flash work perfectly. Better than it did on ics
Whoo!
Note: If you have any issues, please try wiping cache and dalvik
I think you'll need the JB version, am fairly sure you could extract the one from the new AOSP ROM.

Thank you so much. Flash is working and everything seems good, except for my bookmarks (as theres no option to sync browser in Accounts). Time to ditch Dolphin at least!

You want an amazing browswer WITH flash on the Nexus 7
sideload the latest Firefox
do you need to be rooted to be able to do this, i tried copying the apk file to the /system/app folder but it couldn't copy it
Yes you need root to change the permissions and rename the system files in system/app

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

will it overwrite the current sense browser or will it just add to the bunch?
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.
