Is it possible to install the stock Android 2.2 browser in a sense rom?
I have already deleted the sense browser from the system/apps folder and put the new browser in the system/apps folder, and rebooted, but no dice.
I heard this browser is Pretty fast comparable to safari. Bump on this.
Try installing it with a filemanager ie rootexplorer or oifilemanager. Just tap on it, since you already placed the browser apk in the directory. The manager will prompt you.

Did that And it doesn't open, it just force closes. Hoping to get some more insight or correction to what I'm doing wrong.

copy the apk to your tools directory and from the command prompt try a adb install XXX.apk
Can someone Post the apk?

pull it out of the rom that you flashed) and push it to your phone (/system/app)
Ok
Ok I have the rom...how do I extract the data from the rom?
open the zip file and extract it maybe?
open the rom zip, find the launcher2.apk and extract it somewhere (sdk tools folder usually best)
if in windows, hit shift+right click in a blank area of that explorer window/directory the apk now resides
in console window type:
adb remount
adb push Launcher2.apk /system/apps/
Just reflash your ROM, much easier for someone who may not know what they are doing.

On the flip side, he's got to learn somewhere and this would be a pretty easy task in the grand scheme of things.
Or am I just out of luck? I'm at work and don't have administrator rights, so I can't install ADB drivers either. Is there another program I can use?
(depending on the app) just use a file manager to install.

you could always drag and drop the apk to your sdcard and use a file explorer on your phone to install the apks

I'm needing to install a couple of HTC apps that aren't included with the RegawMOD app (quickoffice, pdfreader, and the navigator interface). Is that possible using a file manager?

yes it is.
should work, i think you can install new .apk's through file manager, not overwrite. or thats my experience.

(depending on app) file explorers use package installer to install the apps, overwriting is more than possible.

Yup
you can, and if it says "Install failed" or something close to that, you can always use the "move" or "cut" function in the explorer to just paste it into the directory you want it in. then reboot.

No reboot required if you're using root explorer. Matter of fact, I always export my ringtones directly from SD card to sys/media/audio/ringtone w/ every flash of a new rom, and they'll stay in the system for the duration of future flashes (until complete wipe anyways..)
Thanks guys. I was able to use ASTRO File Manager and it worked like a charm.
Now I just gotta find a few more apk's that I need.

When you plug the usb in does it show that it detected a device but can install the drivers? If so and you have the sdk tool kit on your pc you can push via the adb command to the phone. I had the same issue at work could see or load any drivers for my phone but was able to push everything to my phone.
I seem to be having that Sync Notification icon issue where it wont go away do to the friedstream app being deleted. Could someone please post the apk file for the Friendstream app? I would like to add it back as this is getting annoying to fix all the time. Thanks
apk is attached.
I tried to install but it said it couldn't install. Is there something missing from the file?
I have no idea; I don't know what you removed or replaced.

Put your FriendStream.apk in your android sdk tools folder then while in recovery type this into shell
Code:
adb push FriendStream.apk /system/app/FriendStream.apk
Dumb Question
What the heck is Friendstream anyway ??? Thanks.
Not rooted
Easy, but takes some bandwidth.

Simply download a froyo asop rom. Any will work except cyanogenmod. Extact the zip, go into system app, and look for browser. Drag and drop onto root of your sd, get some sort of file manager app from the market, and install it. I think this will work, but i have never tried it.
Until you drag the file onto your sd, this is all on the computer.
Can I get the link to download the file
can someone post up the link to download the stock browser please

I will once I get home and test it out to see if it works. Check back in 30 minutes.
..........thanks
im pretty sure it wont work. i put the browser.apk on the sd card and when i went to astro to install it, it asked me to uninstall the current browser. so i think the only way it might work is if you rooted the phone and then pulled the sense browser and pushed the aosp browser
o i see thank anyway
pushing the browser.apk doesnt work either
how about you just rename the browser.apk thats already in the system\app folder and any odex file in the \system\app folder then install it with the installer app from the market or install command via adb......
hhmmm ????
i know theres other threads out there with readers hub
but none thats fully functional
this was ripped out of the jm6 fw that was just released last week
i pulled it off my own tab
just install all apks and all should work
you might have to put them in your system app folders then restart
see post 2 for zinio apk
Please let me know your results
heres zinio apk
Awesome. Thanks alot. I have a north american tab so these apps were not included. I hav ed actually found aldiko and nook to be great reader apps, especially since you can import epub files. I tried to replace my gallery app with another that was supposed to display as higher resolution images, which it does but also force closes often. Any chance you can upload the stock gallery 3d apk?

I tried to install the ReadersHub.apk, no dice :-(
put in in your system apps folder and reboot
I installed this and can get zinio working to where the magazine subscriptions are present, but there are no pictures. I installed it about two weeks ago. Do you know how old this Apk is? I'd love to get it to work.

i think you want to use root explorer or adb to put apk in /system/apps/ folder.
Zinio still doesn't show the page pictures unless you pinch to zoom for any magazines after August 2010. Does anyone know why this is or if there is a fix in the works? Cannot get any info from zinio directly.

ok you need to be rooted and have busy box install to be able to write to system
once you have above done open up estrongs/or root explorer find the app your trying to install copy it and paste it into system / apps folder then reboot
I still can't get the Reader's Hub file to install or show up in the apps list after rebooting. I've spent hours trying to get this work and no dice.
Wonder if the problems with Zinio can be remedied by changing our screen density settings? Just a thought, may be way off here.

Copied with Root explorer and rebooted. Still doesn't show up as installed. Is there supposed be a .odex file to go with it?

Max, if you have Titanium backup, can you take a backup of Readerhub and post the backup file?
