Looking for the stock browser.apk from ep4d. I would appreciate if someone could share that with me. Thanks!
If you want a deodexed version of the browser, note that it will almost certainly not work on my ROM, and that, if the previous leaks were any indication, it's going to perform like crap once deodexed.
Alright gotcha. Notice the aosp browser scrolling and pinch zoom is not nearly as smooth as the stock ep4d browser although I do like the ability to open the window and actually close the browsing sessions with the "x" button.
Dolphin Browser Mini. End of story.

Dolphin Browser is ok, but I'm not a big fan of the interface compared to stock.

FWIW, I'm actually using InfinityROM (latest release) with a deodexed Browser.apk that I got from within the CWM package found here and replaced the AOSP Browser.apk in /system/app (using Root Explorer), set permissions to rw-r--r--, rebooted, and it works as well as I can remember. I believe it's the HW acceleration that achieves the fluid scrolling/panning/zooming and I'm glad it worked out for me (nice ROM and nice browser together).
Here's the Browser.apk I pulled from that deodexed EP4D CWM package if you want to try it yourself (don't forget to backup the old one if anything screws up). YMMV! Hope it works out for you flyinj54.
If you use that browser.apk, and clear browser data, it is likely that it's no longer going to work as an FYI. A few framework changes needed to be made to get the AOSP Browser to work in the ROM.

Do you mean clearing the browser data in Applications > Manage applications?
I just tested that out to see what would happen and it seems that the stock Browser.apk is still working fine for me. I just cleared the data again and rebooted the phone to check and it's still working for me. I don't know if I'm doing something magical or if my phone is going to randomly explode someday, but I'm content with how it is.
If there's any other tests you can think of to break the functionality of this browser, let me know and I'll give them a shot as well.
One thing that I may have done but I'm not sure made any difference whatsoever is replaced the libwebcore.so file in /system/lib as well. If I remember correctly, that file has the same file size in both the stock ROM and InfinityROM, but I'm not entirely sure that they are identical.
Could the stock browser for ep4d work on a kindle fire for example?

Probably not, I think the browser is designed for this phone only.
I always run Opera Mobile because of how smooth of it so I never tryed stock EP4D till today. I was shocked that it was Iphone smooth. Heck it was smoother than opera.
Was hoping that it would work on my kindle fire :<
Yeah, I'm actually always surprised when I go into a Best Buy and play with all the newer non-Samsung Android phones (even dual-core) and finding out that the browser on my Charge is way smoother because of the HW acceleration. Maybe they're just skipping HW acceleration on Gingerbread and working on it for ICS, who knows...

Just a heads up. Have always been a fan of xScope Browser but gave it up for a while as the new xScope 6 seemed buggy to me.
Not sure what has changed with recent updates, but the latest version is FAST, really really FAST. Also, lots of cool features. Anyway, check it out in the market. The bookmarking feature takes a little getting used to as it uses HTML to represent bookmarks, but I'm sure that is one reason it is so fast - less overhead. When working with bookmarks, the controls for how they appear are on the bottom of the page. You can do icons, lists, etc...
Also, it has tabs and if you press and hold a tab, all kinds of cool options appear.
Tried it, slow. Im running calkulins 1.6.1 and its about 4 times faster than xscope. Are you rooted ? It is faster than a stock ego but in my opinion its not even close to rooted.

Isn't calkulin a rom? xScope is a browser. How can you compare the two?
He means that the default browser in caulkins is better then xscope

I m using Xscope 6.21 and I am unable to view /data/ folder using its folder view. Though I can see all apks in /system/app. Is it supposed to not show data folder?
I've always been a fan of xscope, it has great media download options and a nice simple ui. Latest update supports themes, so expect for nice themes to be rolling out like the older versions. I think its built based off the stock browser just with some extra features.

Is it possible to change the default google search from international to local(Aus)?
Hi guys. I got my hands on some DI14 files from the Mesmerize and decided to cook up a ROM. This ROM is very lightweight (removed as much touchwiz stuff as I could), and is very similar the version I have released for the Fascinate.
[warning]THIS IS ONLY FOR THE USCC MESMERIZE!!! DON'T FLASH ON ANY OTHER PHONE!!! IF YOU DO, I WILL LAUGH AT YOU!!![/warning]
Features:
Latest versions of :
Google Maps
ADWLauncher
Google Voice
Google Street View
Superuser
YouTube
Aosp or additional apps:
DeskClock
FileManager
Gallery3D
Mms
Music Player
Other stuff:
bash / bmlunlock / busybox / nano / redbend_ua / strace binaries are included
fully functional terminfo for bash
lots of extra ringtones/sounds pulled from aosp
SGS boot and shutdown animations
LOTS of stuff removed, don't have a list, sorry.
Also included in the package is a custom kernel, which allows use of aosp style bootanimations (among other things) and has been optimized for speed and reliability. - kernel has been removed
Enjoy.

WARNING: I do not have a Mesmerize so I cannot test anything myself. This ROM has been tested by a few people, but, if you have issues try wiping data, otherwise, please let me know of any bugs. Thanks.
testing now...
Flashed this a few minutes ago. Seems much snappier than stock. JT, can't thank you enough. I'll report back after I've used it a bit.
~Sophos
about to test it thanks
seems to work well the lock screen seems quicker but im having some pauses when in some apps. was wondering the name of the twitter and facebook feed app that comes standard on mesmerize liked that app but found it was missing in this rom
8hrs and going well. Couldn't get custom boot animation or BLN to work with kernel update so I flashed back to the 1130 kernel. Once I finish the final touches on this boot animation I'll upload it.

They are missing because they are bloat. Hence the "Super" in Super Clean ROM. The less in it from the start, the cleaner the build. There can and will be variations to this ROM, I'm sure, now that JT has been kind enough to give us a starting point. The pauses you are experiencing, I believe, are writes. When a ROM is deodexed, the .odex files are placed back into the apk for various reasons, including themes, causing the system to have to have to perform a few extra writes to cache. This should speed up as you use your phone. As I said, I believe this is correct, but I'm still learning so this may not be exactly what is happening. In testing the previous builds, I noticed the same thing and that this went away with use.
The only thing that I see as an issue is BLN doesn't appear to work. Oh well. Maybe in a future build.
Any way to get the original messaging working i like the way it shows the messages and maybe your navigator from uscc.

All stock deodexed apk's located here http://ge.tt/3mWj9TK in a zip file. Files are not necessarily named the same in apk form as in the app drawer. Also, not all apk's are apps from the app drawer.
As usual, use at your own risk. Make a backup before you use.... yada yada yada.

Thanks... I'm looking through and I can't find two apps, not sure if they're there, or if they are, what the actual .apk names are... First is the stock Messaging app and the second is the My Navigator app. Not a huge fan of the messaging in this rom, if I can restore an apk to get back what it was like I'd be much happier.

Stock messaging app is mms.apk, but we are having a problem trying to get it back in the ROM. It seems to be the only one that doesn't want to go back in at this time, but it is being looked in to. My Navigator is USCC_Samsung_Galaxy_S-1059.apk I believe. I know it is one of the ones with USCC or uscellular in it.
i am 99.9% sure it wont
but does the wii mote work now? or is there any hope hat it will at some time
I really would love it if someone could upload all the APKs found in the stock system of EP1W. I'm on Infinity Beta, and I want to replace the browser with the stock one because its a lot smoother. I also want to relace the MyFiles app so I can use that for my non-root needs (I use it because all the free non root file managers are ugly and I prefer to use it over Root Explorer which is what I use for root files). And I may want to add other apps that I don't remember off the top of my head.
Thanks!!
I don't have the one's from EP1W anymore, but I have the one's from EP3HA, which will also work, and are either the same as the EP1W or should in theory be improved. They are uploading now, I'll update my post when they are ready.
EP3HA Stock Apks
There you go.
Thanks!
Thank you!!
The only reason I asked for EP1W over EP3, was because I thought they wouldn't work, but they are supposed too, so I get the best of both worlds: My favorite rom and the newest apps!
Thanks again!
Quick Question about the broswer:
In the browser from EP3, it doesn't actually scroll or pinch to zoom, it just shows up afterwards. This happened on a different EP3 rom (Humble, I believe), but not on stock EP3, does it need any special libs or something? Or is it just the EP3 browser when put on a different rom?

I tried it on stock, works fine, actually works very well compared to the older versions the phone had. It even has overscroll glow effect (of course its yellow...) I don't know why it wouldn't work with other roms.

No, it did work, it just didn't show scrolling or zooming. It just showed what happened afterwards. Which is useless because then you don't know where your zooming or scrolling to.
But, it doesn't really matter, imnuts said to expect an updated Infinity rom based off of EP3, I just hope he uses the stock browser. I love the TW 4 theme and its the fastest gb rom (to me), so even if he does, I'm still going to use it.
As we all know, something about the deodex-ing process kills the stock browser on the official gingerbread release (and previous leaks too).
yes, some say the stock browser sucks. I love opera mobile but the stupid thing lose ALL tabs when i switch to another app. completely lose track of what I was looking at. stock browser doesnt.
Dolphin is nice but isnt as smooth as stock browser due to GPU acceleration for stock browser.
so, can some one upload a CWM zip or some way to install/replace the browser.

damn, i've been trying to work this out with a few others but so far no luck. I cant even install it (removed existing apk in /system/app, place this in there. permission fixed. install failed).
others install but get FC
probably a framework related issue
thanks though.

After I installed the latest update which I think is JellyBean the ICS+ browser doesn't work. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it just crashes when the program is ran. Dolphin and Firefox still works, but I was getting used to the ICS+ browser. Anyone else have this problem or are there any other browser alternatives out there? Dolphin is really nice and I'll probably stick with that if I have no choice. Hey, at least flash works! I bust my girlfriends chops all the time about her iPad not having flash and some of her web pages just look horrible with Safari. She could never find an alternative browser for her iPad. Apple makes it very difficult to find programs that replace the core stuff on the iPad. A huge negative and one of the many reasons why I love Android so much better then ios.

yes, for me it's the same.
Did you read the app description in the Play Store? It says "Not compatible with Jelly Bean"...

Stock browser is just as good now imo. What are you missing that ics+ gives you?
It was called ICS+ (Ice Cream Sandwich +) for a reason. It was an extension of the ICS browser. I used myself as my primary, but yest with Jelly Bean the ICS browser is different, and as stated before it is shown in the app description that it will not work on JB. Now that said. I do hope they might make a JB+, but really the JB browser works just the same for me, without the home button.

One of the features that I miss to this day is an extended version of "Quick Controls" -- the controls option you can turn on in Settings / Labs that displays a semi-circle pop-up menu when you tap right right or left edge of the screen. In the stock browser, the menu is very limited, with just a few functions. In ICS+, you could choose to add / activate numerous functions and customize your installation pretty extensively. It was very powerful, and very useful. At the time, it became a must-have feature for me, and I wound up preferring ICS+ to Dolphin, Firefox, Maxthon, etc. Really miss ICS+ and hope dev considers implementing a JB version.
