To enable Bookmarks sync in CM 11 4.4.2 AOSP Browser, install the attached apk as a normal app, then go to accounts- Google and check "Browser". That's it, now your bookmarks will sync with the browser.

Work well on LX CM11 20140121 nightly! Thanks a lot!

EDIT:

Work on my nexus 7 2012 too. I think it's compatible with every 4.4.2 aosp browser

Works on Asus Transformer TF700. But why is it needed? It used to be standard Android feature.

Those permissions were there in the previous versions as well.

Hi georgeiulian89. Thanks for this.


If you have a TI backup from CM10 you can restore the app from there instead. Look for the app "Google Bookmarks Sync" (com.google.android.syncadapters.bookmarks) and restore. I've checked mine and the amount of permissions it has is crazy.

Ain't that the truth!

Maybe. But mobile Chrome sucks big time. The Browser is way better.

Chrome for mobile needs some serious work. Whenever I have it installed, it screws up my phone's ability to save my choice for default app. Everytime I open a link, youtube video, etc., it asks me what to use, 'Internet' 'Chrome' or 'Youtube' yes I cleared cache and data for all 3 apps. It's either a TouchWiz glitch or a chrome glitch, either way stock browser + this apk = awesome. No clue why 'Internet' sync is missing in KitKat, very odd.

This apk worked perfectly for me on Verizon Note 2, i605 running KitKat 4.4.2. Thanks OP :good:

    Yes, but starting with Android 4.4, they've removed it...i don't know the reason, maybe they wanted us to use Chrome.
