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 browserproxyprovider.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 forceclose.

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.

Flash work perfectly. Better than it did on ics
Whoo!

Note: If you have any issues, please try wiping cache and dalvik

Okay, since it looks like no one got the sync thing down, I'll spill.

1. Download ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk
2. Push it to /system/app/
3. Change permissions to rw-r--r-- (not sure if necessary, but do it anyway)
4. Restart
5. Go into Settings -> Google Account
6. Select the account you want to sync
7. Check browser to turn bookmarks sync on
8. Fire up Browser. Tada!

I think you'll need the JB version, am fairly sure you could extract the one from the new AOSP ROM.

Is there an AOSP Rom for the Nexus7?? I searched the Dev thread and saw none.

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