I rooted and flashed the Tweaked 2.2 ROM. Before I did this I was on stock 2.3.6. My problem is this: Before I did all this I was able to browse sites in the stock browser, click on a video link, and was given the choice to either use the browser (which would download the video) or the video player (to stream the movie). Now, I am not given these options and it will only open the video player. I checked in the video system app to see if I could reset the "Launch on default" option but it is already greyed out. I did that with the Browser app as well and it was greyed out.
If anyone knows of why my phone is doing this now and how to fix it, I'd be very grateful!
Thanks in advance.

This is most likely due to Tweaked using the AOSP browser as opposed to the TW one. You can always get the TW one back through tweaktools - it's in CWM Mods > ThemeTweaks.

Got the stock browser through tweaktools. Rebooted. Installed. Rebooted. Opened the browser and it locked up my phone. Long pressed the power button to reset. Tried to open again. Same thing. Re-did the entire process of installing the browser and it is still doing it. Only shows one browser installed right now. Should it show two (stock and Tweaked)?
Went back to the AOSP browser and it hadn't locked up since. Still can't download instead of stream though. Guess I'll try Firefox or Dolphin browser.

Looking into this - not sure what the issue is, but hopefully I'll have it figured out soon. I have a workaround, but I'm not a fan of it. That being said, it seems the best I can do at the moment.
In tweaktools, there are two things you will NEED to do to get the TW browser -
1) Applications > preselected apps > TWAOSPapps > StockFP1TWBrowser
2) CWM Mods > ThemeTweaks > StockFP1TWBrowserFwk
That ought to do it
Tried what you said and it worked perfectly! I had also installed Dolphin browser and wasn't able to download instead of stream with it either. But after I got the stock browser back and uninstalled Dolphin, it was giving me the option again.
Thanks for your help!

L I B. You can download videos off CMT. Whoda thunk?
I didn't have to uninstall Dolphin for it to work though.

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.
MOD, please close thread

Anyone found a setting to force browser to always request desktop versions of websites in ICS 4.0.3?
Can't find the option in about:debug, or settings
Debug. UAString desktop.
Same as always.

There is a setting built into the browser already, just hit meant and it should be in the drop down

Not the op, but I've tried about:debug and it seems to get reset. Is it persisting for you?
Is there a way to do this just for one site (ie the BBC iPlayer, since it doesn't like my Xoom since ICS)?
I am running opera 11.5.5 and I need some help getting it set up. I'm having 3 major issues that is keeping this thing from being my only browser.
1. I can't change the homepage. I've set the homepage in the opera:config but it still takes me to the opera tiles page.
2. I'd love to be able to change the Google search bar to not use the mobile Google search. either by adding another search tool for normal Google, or better yet changing the settings of the stock search.
3. I have the hulu hacked flash v11.mumble installed, and the user agent set to desktop in the settings, but hulu doesn't work. (it works fine in dolphin and stock)
FWIW, I'm running revolver Rom.
can anyone help?
You might see what you can do in /data/data/com.opera.browser/opera, can't say that I'm very familiar with it in any versionn of Opera.

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.

Stock in JB is just fine.

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.

Yes I use these as well but there are over 15 given in the new stock JB. If you use quick ics browser you can configure them as well.

If you're not rooted you can't use browser2ram, but honestly, I don't think it's needed to apply this tweak. Good luck!
I have the Galaxy s3 with Verizon 4.1.1.
I have Google Chrome and dolphin browsers installed. Every time I launch an activity that calls for a browser I get the selection screen asking me to choose which default app to use. I have tried selecting dolphin as the default Always, and I have tried selecting chrome as default always, but no matter what I choose I can click the same link again and it will ask me again which browser to use. I tried uninstalling both browsers and the system let me choose the stock browser always and remembered it as default. When I put the other browsers back on, I have to choose every time again. This also goes for other default app selections. I've had 4.1.1 since Christmas and I still select default apps multiple times a day.
Help please!

If you are stock with root, just use either dolphin or chrome, but not both. Then delete the browser apk from system/app, that way only one browser is on your phone and you won't have the nag.

I use dolphin because it supports flash, and I use chrome because I prefer the UI. Besides, getting rid of only one still forces the nag default app screen between the stock browser and the remaining browser. I would have to get rid of both.
I am not rooted.
Is this behavior normal? I don't want to wipe the phone but I will if I'm the only one having this sort of problem. Does default app selection stick for other people, even when selecting a third party app?
