How To FIX yourself the laggy deodexed browser.apk :


Credits :

pulser-g2 found this FIX.
He gave us the .smali files to modify.
Here is a link from his original answer : showpost.php?p=15317327&postcount=15

1/ Download "smali from browser.apk.zip" at the end of the post
Extract it in a folder, you should have 3 files :
* BitmapWebViewSurface3D.smali
* BitmapWebViewLayout.smali
* BitmapWebView.smali

2/ Download smali-1.2.6.jar and baksmali-1.2.6.jar : HERE
and rename them in smali.jar and baksmali.jar

3/ Create a folder with :

baksmali
smali
your stock deodexed browser.apk (with the Lag bug)

4/ With 7-Zip open (without extracting) your stock browser.apk and drag and drop classes.dex in the folder with baksmali
Don't close 7-Zip windows

5/ Open a CMD promt (start > run > cmd) and goto your folder : cd C:\path of your folder\

6/ Then run the command: (don't close CMD)

java -Xmx512m -jar baksmali.jar classes.dex

An OUT folder is created

7/ Copy the 3 .smali files in \out\com\android\browser and overwrite if prompted

8/ Then run the command :

java -Xmx512m -jar smali.jar out -o new_classes.dex

A new_classes.dex fils is created

9/ Delete out folder and classes.dex
10/ rename new_classes.dex in classes.dex
11/ In the 7-Zip windows : delete classes.dex and drag and drop the classes.dex you renamed. You can close 7-Zip

not an obligation : (using my how to Extract ...) :

12/ Put your Moded browser.apk in _Kit_Deodexage/app/ then run Deodex_Gingerbread.cmd in order to zipalign
13/ in Deodex_app you have your FIXED deodexed browser.apk

the end

Edit : fixed KF2 browser.apk added (attached)

This fix is not working anymore on 2.3.4 KG1 and KG2

I saw a fix for laggy browser.apk in the Lite'ningROM Thread.
I made a simple deodexed KF1 ROM and i have this trouble :
The scrolling function of the browser is very laggy. I didn't have this trouble with official or customROM.


As you see I am a noob.

Any help will be appreciate ...

Custom ROMs use an older browser.apk usually. I'm going to try work out the slow-down cause some time.

Thanks Pulser for this fast answer.

If I find an old Browser.apk.
I will have to re sign it ?

Edit : I tried with one from a customROM "Bmarko-Muveszur-KE7".
I have Force close : "com.android.browser" (witch seem to be the cache ?)

No, it would work fine, provided the signatures in your rom were the same to begin with.

Edit : I take the Laggy Browser fix "Browser.apk" from LitePro (for Lite'ningROM 1.0) :
The apk is starting.
When I touch the screen, to scroll, to choose a favourite, I have some "force close" of com.android.browser.
If I touch any link, no force close, same if I don't touch anything

any idea ?

Any other idea ?

Ok, thanks

Problem solved re signing the Browser.apk from Lite'ningROM.
Thanks to LitePro for this (old ?) version of the browser.apk

I'm also having this issue. Any chance you could upload the apk somewhere?

Cheers

Here is my Browser.apk.
If not working, you could try copying the META_INF folder from your original Browser.apk to mine and re zipallign. Or yust resign my apk with the same signature you used for your rom

Hi
Do you use a script to deodex or do you make all apps manually?
