How to install AOSP Browser on the N7 Now with an updated flashable method
- Thread starter Censura_Umbra
- Start date
Just a slight correction: You'll want to delete BrowserProxyProvider.apk and BrowserProxyProvider.odex, not Browser Provider.apk and Browser Provider.odex. Otherwise amazing work! Also Flashify is pretty great.
It may vary. Mine is browserproviderproxy. But I don't see the proxy unless I open properties

EOS in the original development section is what your looking for.

I haven't updated my tablet from the original build, that may be why. Either way I think people figured out which to deal with.

Actually, it's simpler than that. Depending on the file explorer you use the name is abbreviated in just the right way to appear as "BrowserProvider".
No, I knew that. I thought I was being asked why mine had proxy at the end instead of the middle.

on a scale from 1-10 ho does this method perform, 10 being the exact same experience like on ICS with no hiccups st all with flash videos.
Only problem is none of the input methods/keyboards work, so I can't login or anything using AOSP browser. Thoughts?
Tired of 3rd party browsers? Need flash?
Here you go
Here is the link to the apk I used, it is from a Nexus S JB ROM, but ICS may work too. IDK:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11759879/Browser.apk
I used ES file explorer with root permissions to do this.
Just place this app in your /system/app folder, change the permissions from rw------- to rw-r--r--
NOW this is important, If you see a browser provider.apk and browser provider.odex You should rename them! I just threw a 1 after the file extensions.
If you don't do this step the browser will just close.
Now reboot and you are all set
I haven't tested everything yet. But it loads webpages and the settings menu. I will check flash and make sure everything is fine with chrome when I'm no longer in class.
Whoo!
mind making a youtube video of this, what flash content looks like on some sites without force closing and such?
Thanks OP. This worked perfectly. This browser is pretty fast on nexus 7.
One thing to note though. For people still locked, this will likely cause your OTA updates to fail. Reason being you modified a system file and added an app in there. OTA updates run check to make sure everything is still stock(in system/root files), when it detects a change, update fails to install. MANUAL installation of update overrides this. Just something to remember once update rolls around and people wondering why is it failing. I'm not saying it will 100% for sure fail, but there's a good chance. Just like when you do build.prop edits.
I'm unlocked n rooted so no worries for me

Flash will go fullscreen just fine. At least it does for me, with this browser and flash. I tried out YouTube desktop website and some other sites. It let me enlarge the video just fine and went to full screen. It played fullscreen properly, not squished or anything like that.

I have had no problems with this browser what so ever. Everything works including full screen flash video

Never heard of that issue, so I'm not sure what the issue is? Are you using stock keyboard?

That is because we had to remove that feature to get it working.

I have this working as a browser I suppose, but flash still doesn't work.
Or does it, but only on certain sites? Doesn't make sense I guess, but anyone tried going to ESPN.com or Break.com? This site working for you guys?
Thanks.

Flash work perfectly. Better than it did on ics
Whoo!
Note: If you have any issues, please try wiping cache and dalvik14Okay, since it looks like no one got the sync thing down, I'll spill.
- Download ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk
- Push it to /system/app/
- Change permissions to rw-r--r-- (not sure if necessary, but do it anyway)
- Restart
- Go into Settings -> Google Account
- Select the account you want to sync
- Check browser to turn bookmarks sync on
- Fire up Browser. Tada!

I did pull the browser from a AOSP JB rom for the Nexus S. It force closed again when it tried to sign in.
