Salut,
for all of you, who don't like Chrome, here is the original AOSP Browser 4.3 with the optional BookmarkSync if you like.
I modded the Browser, so that the search-bug is gone. All AOSPs had weird strings for "search on page", I added the english and german resource strings and ID.
Just move the Browser.apk to /system/app and set the permissions to rw-r--r--
If you like, you may also install ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk (same way as above), so that your bookmarks from your Google account are synced, but this is optional.
If you encounter a Force Close after starting, delete or rename BrowserProviderProxy.apk and BrowserProviderProxy.odex (if you don't have a deodexed ROM) and reboot, then it should work.
Enjoy!
PS: This is Adobe Flash "ready" - if you want Flash, you need to install Flash for sure, but the Browser is capable of using it
[edit]
I tried several Flash versions, all of them had issues, but the old one 11.1.115.11 works fine for me:

Wow that's not happening on my phone.
Are the permissions set correctly? rw- r-- r-- (644)?
Have you installed the SyncAdapter too?
If not, do it and try again.
If then again an error occurs, try it with freezing BrowserProxyProvider.apk, this should help as some users report in another thread.
[edit]
One idea: try with deleting app and cache data in settings -> apps -> Browser and/or freeze Chrome.

Fixed just done a search on here and found out that I needed to rename BrowserProviderProxy.apk just added a 1 on the extention so it looks like BrowserProviderProxy.apk1
reboot and all is working.
Enabled the browser sync under my google account and now see all my bookmarks.
Thanks for all your help sorted.
Glad you got it.
Weird is, I didn't need to rename or delete anything, BrowserProxyProvider is just there... Will put this in the OP anyway, thanks for your feedback!
I added the link to a working Flash version in OP, official from Macromedia.

EDIT: Since I'm not allowed to post links directly to the Swype version that is fixed, I will instead show you how to make it work.
Since its a simple fix, here is the version of Swype that properly scales in widescreen/landscape!
It is a lot better than the one that comes with stock JM6/JMA.
Noob friendly installation guide:
Go to:
Now, to open the RFS file:
then
-Move files over to your device
-Go to Settings-> Applications-> All-> Swype
-Select Force Stop
-Clear settings
next
-Use Root Explorer (mount as R/W) to copy over Swype.apk to ->System/App
-Overwrite old apk
-Set permissions to rw-r--r-- (to set permissions tap the file and hold for menu)
-Copy over libSwypeCore.so to ->System/lib
-Overwrite old apk
-Set permissions to rw-r--r--
-Exit, switch to swype
-Switch to landscape mode and test..
-Delete facebook
-Hit the gym
-Profit...?
The end!
Thanks, works great!
Anytime sir!
thanks for that
Thanks Bro...

Hey, i deleted some system apps, which i will never need again.
First you need Titanium Backup. You find it in the Market.
So you´re able to save your apps and then unistall it. But dont uninstall everything...some apps are very important!
I only uninstalled apps, which are not to use on the flipout but uses disk space.
Files you can delete:
ESMusica
HipHopOfficial
Kodak Perfect Touch
QuickOffice (i have QuickOffice Pro installed)
RevolverTV
SIM Toolkit 2.1 update 1
TrueCountry 2.0.0012
Youtube (i replaced it with the android2.3 youtube)
There are a lot more apps to delete but some apps need a similar app to replace e.g. blur launcher...the phone won´t start if there is no similar launcher added before..
have fun
Thanks, can anyone post some more disposable applications here?

can you post your upgraded youtube apk ?
no problem!
you have to rename it in youtube.apk!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817528
1. download the apk
2. delete old youtube.apk from /system/app/youtube.apk with root explorer
3. restart the phone
4. uninstall com.google.android.youtube (it appears after the restart in your settings - manage apps...
5. move the new youtube.apk to the system/app folder
6. install it!
maybe you have to restart..dont know!
Having problems with your youtube app.
To make the vid start i have to click on HQ as soon as the vid opens otherwise it returns 'sorry can't play...'.

Some more apps I'd remove:
newswidget
socialshare
statuswidget
universalinbox
weatherwidget
blur-services [very uncertain about this, is this system necessary ?]
blurcontactssync [very uncertain about this too]
do you think it's safe removing them ?
One more question: I made a backup of previously removed apps but apks only, not the odex files. If I try putting the apk back to /system/app the app works again although I read that odexed apps usually need both apk and odex to start again.
sooo lets try!
i dont have the problems with the youtube.apk like you! do you have uninstalled the com.google.android.youtube after restart?
maybe you have to set the permissions in root explorer to
"rw-r--r--"
i hope it will help!
there are a lot of lists which system apps can be deleted and whats their function!
http://www.android-hilfe.de/anleitu...beit-welche-apps-duerfen-entfernt-werden.html

Hi!
after countless FCs from the stock email app, when trying to open new emails, i finally found a better solution for removing sms from call logs.
not the LogsProvider.apk should be modded, but instead the Contacts.apk
i modded the Contacts.apk from OMEGA 11 ICS stock rom
which is a XWLP8 rom

after install you need to REBOOT!

assuming this needs renaming to contacts.apk and then pushing via root explorer etc you dont actually explain how to install this or apply this a guide helps!

no need to rename this file.
rename or delete your original Contacts.apk, then copy this file to /system/app/ with rootexplorer. thats it

does not work still shows when you send a message it shows under all messages Im using ICS LPS
biggest flaw is i can no longer delete the logged SMS sent either
install
go to /system/app with rootexplorer
remount filesystem R/W
then rename Contacts.apk to Contacts.apkx
then copy the modded file to /system/app (no need to rename it)

that does not make sense. either it shows, or it doesn't.
if you can't delete them, they don't show.

you dont need to delete the entries.
does anybody know what happens if you have too much log entries??
the problem is already in samsung stock contacts.apk!
stock email app puts entries for new emails in the database of logsprovider.apk (you can check it with sqlite)
but contacs.apk does not show it ever in the call-logs view.
so email can fill up your database, and you have no (normal) way to delete it.
therefore i say it does not matter if the same happens to sms-logs.
i just would like to find out what happens, if you have 2000 smslogs inside your database and 300 emails logs.
will it crash? will it auto purge old entries? what ? what?

still the hack of logsprovider.apk has bugs and is not done correctly.
contacts.apk should be hacked instead, as i have shown

I think the 2 ways are good, just like you said it needs to be done correctly.
You try to hide logged sms, and Homam's one try to disable sms logging.
Anyway, good work karl999999, i ported it to my Blue ICS themed lp4, it's working great (with aosp email).
Best point for your mod is that it will hide also all previous received sms .
Get it from attachment, you have to restore stock LP4 LogsProvider.apk (attached too) if you want to test it.
acutally hiding is not really what i wanted
i want the menu to work, only the startup default to be set at "show only calls"
(instead of "all protocols")
but then i have found out, that the stupid phone.apk seems to change the value at random times.
what i will do in the next version, is that the menu will actually work, and you can delete old logs normally.
if that is possible, that is
PS: what would be even better is, if the call log screen could also show those damn emails. the logs ARE in the database. the damn app just does not show them. (as i said before, i wonder what happens if you have 2000 email logs in the database, and you have no way of deleteing them?)
this one seems to fully work now, and save the settings to preference file.
after pushing the file to /system/app you MUST REBOOT, because its not zipaligned yet. (maybe i will fix this later)
please test and report back here ...
karl999999 said:

I meant was missing 3 xml in layout related to sms showing. Well you are actually hiding sms
I am sure you ll improve your mod, for the moment i ll keep using logsprovider mod, for our rom (Simplistic lite and Disaster) we had no complaint about email client ;-)
Regards and go on working ;-)
Hope u understand my bad english

Clear data and rename or remove old Gmail then move into sytem/app and change permissions rw r r. You might have to rename or remove the corresponding odex file too as the written odex file is incompatible with a modified version. That should stop the Gmail is not responding message. or if on custom rom you should have know problem
