hello
first of all I did search, but couldn't find anything that would help, sorry if I didn't search well enough
for the past few days, everytime I turned my phone off or it died on me, after turning it back on, the browser would disappear. id click on a saved bookmark on my homescreen and it would say "application not installed". usually I just go to my titanium backup and restore it. but today I went to restore it, and it wont restore. the TB app just stays stuck saying "restoring app+data". I tried changing the app processing preference, but still the same. TB had also been doing this with the google play store(not the new 4, haven't gotten that yet), but usually if I just turned the phone off even while it was still stuck on restoring, when back on the play store would now be installed. Not so with the browser
is there any way I can get this to work? and if not, can someone please help me get the latest stock browser apk for the gnex gsm? I think its version 4.2.2-573038
Thanks!!
btw, im on rooted 4.2.2 but no custom roms, just "stock" root
You must be really bad at looking or lazy then.

Try that.
I don't see why you can't just get Chrome or something..

a little bit of both lol. Really though I did search, primarily for a solution to the TB problem not so much the apk.
Thanks for the link though!
Do you know why TB might be doing this though?
As for Chrome, in my experience its complete crap compared to the stock browser. if at least they had transferred over the quick buttons it'd be better, but they didn't even do that
EDIT: ok that didn't work. after clicking install says app not installed
I understand, I don't like Chrome either xP
Hopefully that works.

Take that apk, put it in system/app/, change permissions to match all the others in there and reboot. Delete the original one in that folder first if you like, otherwise, just overwrite it. I use root explorer to do this sort of stuff but I'm sure others can do it too.

That didn't work either. Thanks though. My backup on TB says "Browser 4.2.2-573038". Maybe I need that specific version?

How did that not work? Did you reboot and then it just didnt show up in your app drawer? Or does it force close? Or what?

Yeah I did. Also tried doing a batch backup with titanium... and even tried restoring different backups.. seems like titanium isn't working at all. and I still cant find that browser 4.2.2-573038 apk
oh wait, nevermind I guess its the same one you guys posted. well this sucks even more now cause as already mentioned that's not working either. I don't know what else to try
I have no idea then. Thats usually how you install system apps. So I guess search around for other browser apks and try them the same way. I dont know why that wouldnt work.

Maybe try wiping cache and dalvik afterwards just in case, so it scans all the apps again when booting up.

I'm rooted on latest CWM. No custom ROM.

And those calls does not show up in call logs as well.

make sure you have the setting enabled for installing from unknown sources.
Go to Settings -> Applications -> check Unknown Sources.

do I need to install the data.tar and apk file or just the apk? name id can't connect to servers for some reason
it shouldn't need to. as long as it's installed you shouldn't have the problem.
I have the option checked to install non market apps, but if I download wifi tether, for instance, from the dev's website, my phone will not even let me click on "install," though I can hit "cancel." I've tried this with a free other apks, such a Swype, volume+, etc. Some allow me to hit install and some do not.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions? Btw, rooted gnex, stock 4.0.2, vzw.

First, I want to thank you for posting your question in the appropriate place. By chance, are you running JuiceDefender? If so, there is a bug that sometimes does not allow a user to install non-market applications without a workaround (you will find it in settings when configuring JuiceDefender). If you're not running JuiceDefender, then I am not sure, sorry .
bennettm89 said:

I'm not. And since my original post, while my phone was laying on the couch, something changed and now I'm able to install those apks I've downloaded. Someone at AndroidForums suggested I side-load apks from my computer, but my only means of wifi is from my phone and wifi-tether was one of those apks that wouldn't install, until just an hour ago. I've had this issue rooted, unrooted, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, and it seems to come and go.
It seems no one else is posting about it anywhere that I can find, so if nothing else I wanted others to know that it is happening.

It opens up but will not load pages fully. Please help, if you need more information please ask. I like Chrome and don't want to switch. I've un-installed and re-installed Chrome a few times but it didn't work.
Try going into recovery and fixing permissions
Before doing that though, try clearing cache. Maybe even try one version back from the one you're on now

Not through the play store...you could search for it online and sideload the apk
Do you know if chrome was updated recently? Because that may be the issue if it was

So you think that Google threw in a check to see if their ads are blocked in the hosts file, then disabled all browsing until you fix your hosts file? It seems to be going a bit far, in my opinion, and will just drive customers to use other phone browsers.

If you hold the keys, does the alternate key so come up like it's supposed to? Are you using the same keyboard as you were before? Same version and all? I'm pretty unfamiliar with the stock keyboard as I've been using SwiftKey for a year or so now and it has the alternate keys enabled by default... It's also free in the play store now.

I'd say to make a backup of your apps/data with Titanium Backup or equivalent. Then do a clean flash, flashing nothing but the ROM and the keyboard. If it works on a clean flash with nothing else installed, I'd go ahead and add your other flashable mods like The Sickness Modz.. Basically just restore everything in stages, checking to make sure the keyboard still works after each stage. If, after restoring your apps/data, the keyboard stops working, you'll know it's something to do with an app that breaks it. Then just restore a few apps at a time, rebooting after each and checking the keyboard. Then do your xposed modules one at a time. When you find what breaks the keyboard you can then either find a workaround or just stop using whatever it is that breaks it altogether.

Before you go through all that, check out the Xposed module called Samsung Alt Symbols. It worked for me on stock firmware and I am on the At&t variant but maybe it's worth a shot.
