I have a method to install the aosp browser without any root privileges at all and no modifications of the system partition. Just involves installing 2 or 3 apks (depending if you want bookmark syncing). This should work on any of the other nexus devices that came without stock browser. This is also an improvement over the root method as it does not break OTA updates even on rooted devices.
Please don't repost this yet. I want to add in the other languages to browser.apk for the "find on page" button in the menu. I fixed English. The stock nexus roms don't have the string in framework-res for this one button.
Download zip (this is not a cwm package/just extract it or open the files from inside)
http://www.mediafire.com/download/sp3778itcps5iq1/aospbrowser-noroot-blackhand1001.zip
Steps:
1. Use es file manager to browse to system/app and install browserproviderproxy (it will say app not installed, don't worry it worked)
2. Reboot (it will not work without rebooting first)
3. Install signedBrowser_blackhand1001.apk
4. Install ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter_blackhand1001.apk (this will give you bookmark syncing)

I can't confirm that the actual browser.apk file will work on 4.2 but the browserproviderproxy and the chromebookmarksync should work.

Got it. Parsing error
Ok. The zip got screwed up. I will fix that too. It got messed up during zipping. Google drive did the zipping and only zipped the one thing properly. Just did it with 7-zip and reuploaded. I messed up the zip file. I got the same error. It finally should be uploaded correctly.

Would somebody please be kind enough to pm me the camera apk for a note 2 (sph-L900) on android 4.1.2?
I attempted to use a multi Window manager that patched a file. .and apparently broke my camera. I then restored my nandroid backup but the camera is still broken. I'm going that installing the apk again will resolve the issue. If not then I guess it's a session with Samsung Kies and Odin..
Help please?

Delete the one in the rom you want to flash, replace with optimized one and THEN flash the rom
Or you can do it real time by installing that apk over the non-optimized one you have in the rom you are currently running

The weird thing is that the same thing happened to Sprint users as well except some rooted phones (like mine) work. And it is not just the device status of normal vs. modified because other people have their device as normal on other ROMs and it does not work.
That's weird. I'm running rooted TW stock firmware 4.1.2 (with just some audio tweaks) but I was able to download and install the app. I've been using it since yesterday with no issues.

Got a fix fellas. Interested?
Nevermind I'm not gonna tease. Familiarity with a root explorer will help. I used solid Explorer.
*Uninstall the nfl app if u still have it.
1. System/app rename superuser.apk to su.apk.
2. Go into system/build.prop. Open with a text editor.
Find the line "ro.build.tags"
There will be an = sign after it then something along the lines of hidden keys or something like that. Doesn't matter what it says just delete it so all it says is ro.build.tags
Click save. Once it saves reboot.
3. Install nfl.apk
4. MONEY!
