Need stock browser to CM7

Hi all,
As title suggests I'd like to install stock browser.
Could anyone supply me with relevant files?
Ps: sorry for the annoying business english. I've been writing emails all day

You can get it from the cm7 zipfile if you have it.
its under:
system/app/browser.apk

i mean webkit 3.1 browser. i already have cm7 browser

Hey, I'm in the same situation.
I really need the SGSII touchWiz browser imported to CM7, since I really like it and its much better than any other browser I've tried(IMHO)
Can anyone help me?
Thx in advance.

Try Dolphin, it build on stock AOSP browser.

I am currently using Dolphin. It sucks compared to SGSII stock IMO.

use opera mobile fast and good browser

What's the best browser for this phone?

I like the native web browser application that comes with the phone, but too many times I feel when I scroll on a page, the page doesn't move.. and I need to scroll again.. or there's a lag with the scrolling. Regardless, what do you think is the best browser to use on the Galaxy Nexus for performance? I have plugins set to on demand btw.

I don't have any browser problems. Fast and responsive on stock.
Google Chrome is a good alternative browser for ICS.

Whenever I've tried Chrome and scroll there's block of white that take forever to load the rest of the page. The native app is snappier than Chrome IMO. I'm on the latest CM9 btw.

Been using Chrome Beta because I'm a total Chrome addict on my laptop machine. Everything just integrates perfectly, including address and form autofill data.
The stock Browser works good though can't fault it. Much improved over the 2.3 browser for sure.

Ics + browser is easily the best imo. Built off the stock one with enhancements I worship that damn browser. Especially with the quick control edits for 3 rings, gestures, etc.
Chrome would be good but its not as smooth and is choppy. And I loathe its service that runs constantly.

Chrome beta for me

I swap between the stock one and chrome beta.

Maybe you should change the kernel or something. It seems like your setup problem because I don't have any problems with stock browser or any browsing in general.

Chrome is really good but I like the fact that the stock browser can render pages in b&w.

Just tried ICS+...not impressed at all. It crashed twice, the menu ring failed to appear most of the time, and some pages took ages to load.
Uninstalled.

Stock browser in my opinion.

I must be the odd man out here,I use opera ;D

Stock browser for flash web and chrome beta for the rest

This is exactly what I do.

Chrome all the way.

ICS+ works for me! Much better than stock in terms of fluidity!

I'm using chrome beta at the moment
Currently in terms of performance I think the stock browser is better on balance due to the flash integration. Although its very close to chrome on the other aspects of performance.
I'm going to stick with chrome though as I don't really use flash content and its still in beta so the performance can only get better.. makes sense to get used to it.
Oh and the chrome icon is nicer.. looks better sitting in my dock

Browser with text reflow other than opera?

Does anyone know one that works with Jelly Bean? I cant seem to find one Boat Browser worked with ICS but now on JB it just doesnt work anymore...
And i know opera does this, but i really dislike how opera scrolls through pages and how it sometimes doesnt display stuff correctly. So i'd like to avoid that browser

I have checked any other browser trying to find one that reflow like Opera to no avail.
Opera is the only one with auto reflow when you aply/change zoom and this is the reason why I use it since old good WinMo days...
I can't understand browsing without this feature and realy don't find any problem with last Opera version.
Sorry

well i see i guess i have to make due with chrome (does pretty good text alignment so you dont have to zoom at all) until CM10 gets stable, in vanilla android text reflow works with pretty much with every browser...

I guess samsung is coming out with their own browser

I love how opera reflows and scrolls.
"Smartphone is no longer a phone"

Sorry to revive this old thread, but based on the above I've been using Opera just because of the text reflow. I really don't like its method for switching between tabs/windows, though. I much prefer the tabs at the top like most other tabbed browsers. So, I've found I keep trying all the others again. Well, I just tried the updated Boat Browser today and found they have now fixed it to do text reflow in JB. It works great! I really like it MUCH better than Opera now. So, any of the rest of you wanting text reflow, might want to give BB a fresh try.

Dolphin browser, available on the Play store. Works just fine for me and it supports flash, plus a host of plug-in features. l''m on stock Jellybean rom, upgraded from stock ICS.

So when you zoom in on text in Dolphin it is reflowing (wrapping) the enlarged text for you so you dont have to scroll left-right? Just want to ensure you mean the same thing because I'm on stock JB as well and Dolphin Browser sure isn't doing that reflow for me. I like Dolphin otherwise, so if it could do this I'd be happy with it, but unfortunatly it doesn't.

why you don´t use stock browser?
it has an option to do that what you want.

I am currently using boat browser without any issues. Try it, they might have fixed it in latest update.

How? There is an "autofit" in the stick browser, but that just zooms to the full page. I don't believe it does text reflow.

Yes, when I zoom in on text, the enlarged text is wrapped and I can read without having to pan left or right. I have Dolphin Browser v9.0.1 (with Jetpack v1.0.1).. The user agent is set to desktop.

Cool! I hadn't heard of Dolpin Jetpack before. It does NOT reflow with just Dolphin, but I just installed Jetpack and sure enough that makes it reflow. Thanks for suggesting that!
Hmm, now to decide which is my new favorite - Dolphin or Boat...

Nice hint - I can confirm that with the given versions it used to work (even with the user agent set to Android rather than Dolphin), but at least since Dolphin 9.2.0 with Jetpack 2.0 it does not work anymore.

This is the aosp browser with working text reflow
Just remove the stock browser then reboot and install this as a normal app (Not system app)

For the text to reflow zoom and then double tap on the text

latest firefox has text reflow feature

True. I foolishly auto updated to the latest version of Dolphin Browser and lost that feature (as well Flash support). Unistalled it thereafter and am now using Boat Browser. No complaints with Boat Browser so far.

I tried it out, but this browser does not provide text reflow (on my Samsung Galaxy Note2 running Android 4.1.1) either
I did select "Auto-fit pages" in the advanced settings and did try double-tapping as you wrote in your next post, but with no luck.

I can confirm that text reflow works with Boat Browser (after enabling the "Text wrapping" option in its settings).
In case anyone else also likes to revert Dolphin to version 9.0.3 and Jetpack 1.0.2 (the last versions with which I found reflow to work),
I attach the former as apk file, while attaching the latter apk file did not work for some technical reasons - even after zipping the file
to some 11.4 MB, I always get a strange error: "Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing".
Thus I now offer both for download at http://David.von-Oheimb.de/perlen/Android/Apps.html

4,2, Is chrome browser now superior?

I keep switching between chrome, dolphin and the stock from 4.1......is it my imagination or is chrome still 3rd choice? It just seems so unintuitive to use. Are you guys switching to chrome or staying with one of the other browsers?

I think chrome is better than the default browser... but android beam still does not work with this app!

I love some of the Chrome features life the lateral-swipe to switch tabs and the zoom bubble that appears if you click in a small link, but I hate how it handles the bookmarks. We can't have everything, I guess :\

I use Chrome because it syncs with my desktop browser, but the Android browser is a lot smoother. Chrome stutters all the time when I scroll and often ignores input while it stutters, but I have a hard time getting the Android browser to stutter at all.
If you don't need the synchronization with your desktop, Android browser is still the better choice.

is it possible to have ALWAYS desktop version of a site without requesting it every time???

Thanks for the replies.....I keep expecting chrome to be the beez kneez but it always seems lackluster/less friendly than the android version. I dont know why, but after sandy when signals were extremely weak or non existent in my area, dolphin performed the best on a gnex (vzw) 4.1.2 and on an old droid 3

stock 4.2 browser is the best.

I believe you can do this in the stock browser under settings->advanced->user agent->desktop. No equivalent option in chrome that I know of.

glad you like it. the goog powers that be are probably glad too
Ive been trying to use it all day but its not working for me....a shame because i feel like im cheating on google when i use the other browsers haha

I think as long as they dont add the "quick controls" to chrome, the android browser will always have the lead. those controls are incredibly useful for one hand operation, and really anything involving the search bar at the top. no need to move the thumb up there(which is annoying on big screens), just press the side and swype to the url control and bam! and now with "swype" on the keyboard, its actually getting pretty nice having a big screen but only using one hand

i think there's a bug when refreshing the page if you are using quick control. there'll be a black block on top.

I can't seem to find the option (user agent) on stock browser... Do you know where I can find it?

There are 2 things keeping mé away from chrome and that is:
-Quick controls
-full screen mode
Stock browser is also smoother IMO...

It most definitely IS more smooth...

I use Google Chrome on PC, and it gets synced up very conveniently with Google Chrome on my Gnex, so I tend to stick with Chrome.

I could not find the user agent on stock browser either. Yakju version. Just updated to 4.2.

i use to like Dolphin browser but Chrome kinda feels solid. I have Dolphin browser with Jetpack on N7 and it indeed loads pages faster then chrome. They've recently added magnifier like in chrome it's still needs a little bit of optimization.

The stock 4.2 browser is faster and more fluid than chrome. Chrome is better in handling all kind of online forms.

I love stock browser but I want to give chrome browser a whirl. However, how do you guys adjust the font for chrome where it is readable? There are some fonts on the page which are perfect for viewing and at the same time , other parts of the page, the fonts are so small. Why can't all the fonts be near or equal on the same page like stock browser.

Best browser

Hi, which browser would you suggest me for my hox?
With aosp roms almost every browser is very laggy (the best one i tryed at the moment is opera browser). It's strange because many of them work quite smooth on other phones (for example maxthon is quite slow on my one x, while is very smooth on my friend's s2 or lg optimus 4x)

Opera mini works flawless on aosp rom for me... try dolphin or boat browser.. they are good too...

Thank you, i'll download them.
Today a tried the last version of chrome beta and it got a lot better than the last time i tested it

I'd like to go out on a limb and recommend trying Floating Browser COBRA. It's a floating browser that allows you to multitask, much like Samsung Popup Browser, except much more features. See my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...te-browser-t2714879/post51875854#post51875854
Post me back on how well it works, as I'm thinking about getting a One X as a secondary...thanks

edit: it's not bad, but surely not nearly as smooth as chrome, opera and others. It's quite slow in rendering and scrolling
