My phone is the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, on Jelly Bean, and the Stock Browser is quite similar to the one on my new TF700T, with one important, frustrating difference:
On my Nexus, if I long press the "back" icon, the Bookmarks Page comes up, and it has a 'tab' for "Local" and a tab for "[email protected]" which contains my Chrome bookmarks. When I do this on my Tablet, only "Local" shows up, and there seems to be no way to get my Chrome bookmarks in there. I have signed in to my gmail account, but that doesn't seem to have triggered any import of these bookmarks. I've checked all over Preferences, Sync settings, etc., but I haven't found a way to get my Bookmarks into the Stock Browser.
What am I missing??
And on the subject of Browsers, I've sideloaded Flash - which Browsers support this? I've seen people mention Dolphin and Boat being good - which ones do Flash? Others to consider?
Thanks.
(P.S. Search is not functioning now, so sorry if this has been addressed.)
I've found that if you download the latest Jelly Bean gapps package (just google for it), that it will correct this issue. Not sure what caused it in the first place, but re-installing the gapps package seemed to resolve it for me.

Thank you for the response and suggestion. I did some searching, and found nothing in the standard Google Play store, so I'm assuming you're referring to a 3rd party app? If not, please advise.
I found a link at XDA, but it isn't clear if this works with a Stock ROM, non-rooted device. I realize this is XDA, but for various reasons, I'm not wanting to go the way of rooting, using custom ROM's, etc., and prefer to keep things simple if possible.
So, if you could, please clarify how/if your suggestion can be applied in my situation, non-rooted, stock ROM, etc.
Thanks!
Sorry - I just assumed that you were rooted and unlocked (which was a stupid assumption on my part!).
I've never tried to flash gapps with stock recovery and don't even know if it's possible.
Does anyone know if you can flash a gapps packages with stock recovery?
OP - if you actually *are* unlocked, let me know and I'll post a link to the JB Gapps package. FYI - The "gapps package" is just all of the Google Apps packaged in a flash'able archive. But, I'm not sure if you can flash it without a custom recovery, so if you are not unlocked, it won't do you any good....

Well, this is XDA, so assuming I was unlocked/rooted was not unreasonable
But no, I just don't have the inclination to go this way at this time - want to spend my time putting out other fires!
But apparently anyway it looks like I'm not missing something obvious, and that it's a glitch in the browser.
Thanks.

Very interesting.
I have run into that failed Sync on a few different of those Google functions in the past. You can try unchecking and then rechecking it a few times, but I'll bet that won't work.
I think this is something on Google's end, and that it'll eventually fix itself.
But did you check to see if the Browser Bookmarks have in fact been imported? The reason I ask that is that even now when I check my Google Sync settings there is a similar warning for my Contacts Sync on my Galaxy Nexus, and it shows the last successful sync from last Spring. But despite that, my Contacts do in fact Sync, both from the phone to my desktop, and desktop to my phone. So in this particular case, the warning is in error, and Sync is actually working correctly.

Correct, but have a look at the images he included in his post - they show that he has gone there, that Browser Sync does show up, and he has it checked, but for some odd reason, it is not Syncing successfully.

Bummer. I don't have a clue why it isn't working but as I said above, Google Sync does get funky sometimes...
I almost hate to ask this, but have you signed into your Google account within the Stock Browser? Just can't think of anything else to check.
You can report it to Google, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to acknowledge, respond or fix...
Yes logged with my google account.
I've this issue about 2 months...

Under Settings -> Accounts & Sync -> "account" -> "Sync Internet"
I'm getting "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
On my primary Google account and not my secondary accounts.
I've tried just the single account too, and still the same issue. This seems to be happening from the last 2 versions of Clean Rom.
I did wipe data every time.
Are there logs anywhere to give me a clue?
I really don't want to go back to a stock rom to test now and risk loosing root, etc.. but it was working from stock to the first Clean Rom, then upgrading to the second clean rom. The apps I downloaded did install after setup even after the wipe and rom install.
Thanks.

You might have already done this ... but just to confirm ... what partitions did you wipe before you installed CleanRom ?
From CWM, I used the "Clear Cache" then followed with "Wipe Data/Rest".
I believe I've tried before and after ROM installation, but am not 100% currently. I do not believe that should make difference, since I do not believe Clean Rom writes to the data partition.
Since I don't know where the logs are, I'll try to do USB Tether and run Wireshark on the RDNIS interface later on today to see if I can capture any info. Hopefully it is not encrypted.
Thanks.

Try wiping all the partitions in the "WIPE" section in CWM (including system , except SD-CARD ) and also under advanced " WIPE DAlvik Cache" and then install cleanROm.
I am on v2.3 and I do not have that issue.
it really is a benign error.
I get it on ALL my ICS devices, regardless of rom/config/wipe/etc. its a google issue, not inherent to this device specifically.
Sort of. Unfortunately I did this see work on the earlier Clean ROM upgrades, and I've been spoiled.
When it worked, after I've flashed the new rom, it will automatically reinstall all the Apps I've downloaded from the App store. All my wifi SSIDs will be restored.
Yes it isn't critical, but a nice feature.

In CMW On the First Menu I,
Wiped data/factory reset

Next in Advance
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Didn't see any other wipes.
Installed, and still the same problem.
Since I'm reset right now, is there any safe way to install stock to make sure that internet sync does work with a stock rom?
I image in need to hex edit the current version to a 1.0.0.0 and then install say the 1.7.3 RUU
Root then unlock again.

reinstalling appstore apps and wifi ssids doesnt fall under the internet sync. those are settings elsewhere in your menu. that feature is located under PRIVACY/BACKUP & RESTORE

I have had the same problem on my sensation with all ics roms i have used. sync internet always has the problem. you can remove the account and start again but I noticed that the sync internet will only work when you first log back into your google account then it will "experience problems" again. What is sync internet? yes done a google search but no clear answer. found something that says it is for bookmarks, but that sounds iffy.

That did not work for me. After I deleted the data from the dashboard, it would sync correctly but after I would readd my account on my laptop's google chrome, it would start to fail again
Yeah, the only way it finally worked was to select chrome settings to select "encrypt Passwords" and not select "encrypt all data"

Hi friends
I tried replacing my HTC One S's stock browser but failed, now I can't for the life of me get the original back to work. Anything I install that would fill the gap of the original browser force closes.
Anyone knows how I can get the original HTC One S stock browser back?
I'm rooted and with Titanium Backup.
To be honest, it doesn't even have to be the original HTC One browser, it could be any ICS stock browser that has Flash capabilities, tabs etc.

Try Dolphin from the Market.
Thanks, but it has to be a com.android.browser.apk browser, not just any browser from Google Play (as long as it works on a stock HTC One S of course).
personally, i use google chrome because it's as good if not better than the stock browser. plus, since you already sign in with your google account to access the play store, it will automatically sync your favorites and what not if you use chrome on your regular computer. but it does support flash and has tabs, etc
Did you actually delete the stock browser? Or did you change a setting that is causing the problem?

I wanted to replace it with the stock browser from a different device through Titanium Backup, so yeah, it's gone.
Because I'm always moving through tabs and putting tabs away, the fact that the HTC Sense browser needed an additional click to access tabs each and every time angered me beyond reason. My ICS browser on the Xperia neo was much more practical, so I figured I'd replace it and my problem would be gone. Now I have neither...
I do use Chrome now, which is good except that it doesn't do Flash, but if I can get the regular browser back I expect to be able to get the official OTA updates, which so far are impossible because the updater checks for the original browser.
Edit: from your signature, you have the same device I have, mine is a T-Mobile One S too.

Somehow my Titanium Backup doesn't recognize that file as a backup, though it does appear in the list of apps available within TB (see attached). Perhaps because a properties file is missing?

No, this definitely doesn't work with system apps in HTC One S. I did have this option in other devices though, after rooting (Motorola Milestone, Xperia neo).
If at all possible to get the HTC Sense browser it'll be better because then I can install their official update.
JB 4.2 Browser.apk installable without root
So Chrome.apk has been pissing me off lately. It annoys me how Google keeps releasing updates with major usability regressions, (like the fuzzy text), and how the scrolling performance is still terrible compared to stock WebViews.
Was going to sideload AOSP Browser.apk, but as you guys know this requires a rooted device, and I wasn't willing to root my Nexus 4.
Anyways, I finally decided to do something about it a few weeks ago and hacked a few things in AOSP Browser.apk from JellyBean 4.2.2 so that it can run without root. Basically, I accomplished this by changing the name and making private Browser.apk's bookmarks provider so as to avoid conflict with the system. As a side effect, Browser.apk has a different bookmark database than Chrome.apk.
I've been running this for a few weeks and everything seems to work pretty well. Let me know if this works.
For your pleasure the source is available here on GitHub (h**ps://github.com/profiterole/browser.apk sorry too new to post links). For your convenience, a .APK is also available for download from GitHub (linked from readme)
Please note: this APK requires Android Jelly Bean MR1 (4.2), and has only been tested on a Nexus 4. I would also encourage you NOT to sign with your google account as this hasn't been tested and may overwrite any bookmarks you have synced.

I definitely wouldn't mind grabbing the basic browser.apk, moreso if possible to install without rooting. I don't know the ins and outs of github though. Am I supposed to download the BrowserActivity.apk file at the end of the page you linked?
I've looked about just almost everywhere for the solution to this problem I've been having. On my Google account, just about everything else syncs fine, but not my Browser for the bookmarks. I've always gotten " sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shortly". It's been since forever and it looks like it won't be back to anything.
I have done the following:
- erase Google account and log back in
- erase browser data and Google services framework data
- install the Google Bookmark Sync.apk that apparently JB was missing
- did all of the above and reboot.
When I did the first one, it actually synced, but just that first time each time I delete and readd the Google account. It won't sync anymore after that point. Any solutions? Please and thanks!

Is it in data/apps as an apk! If not then I'm not sure reinstalling the ROM will help you. You need to clear something but not sure what.
Just a thought, do you also have chrome installed?
I've uninstalled it through System Tuner root uninstall, but that completely removed the option to sync the stock browser in the Google account. I reinstalled with the backup of apk and still no progress.
Is there something that has to be done with my Google account to sync with my browser?
Also, yes I have Chrome. I wanted to use stock browser for the fast speeds from Browser2RAM + Enable CPU Upload Path. I heard B2R can be done for Chrome too, but how do I do it?

Let's take this one step at a time. You have too many things going on.
Reflash the rom without choosing chrome. Does that fix it? BTW b2r works with chrome by default, you don't have to do anything special.
I've tried what you said and reflashed everything, even not selecting Chrome on the installation. Chrome is still installed onto my tablet, and the Browser syncing problem isn't resolved.
Is there any other solutions if possible?
Hello,
Each day when I go into the Play Store to check for updates it tells me that 'Google Keyboard' has an update available. I go ahead and update but the next day it's asking me again to update. This has gone on for several days now. I'm sure there really isn't a update so often.
I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 (Verizon) with Goodness ROM v10.0.4.1. I really like this ROM and would hate to change but I may have to if this continues.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi there,
I had a similar issue running mastamoon's unofficial 4.3 build for CyanogenMod 10.2, and even on his unofficial CM 10.1 build.
What I ended up doing, as I recall, was completely uninstalling the app and reinstalling it from the play store. I also have Swype installed on my GS3 (currently running the above unofficial 4.3 CM), so I've stuck with that for the 'mo, but try removing the app altogether and reinstalling to see if that helps.
Do you have any other apps installed, such as Titanium Backup or ROM Manager?

Hi,
Yes, I have both Titanium Backup and ROM Manager. Since I'm kinda new at the ROM scene, can you tell me how to safely remove a built-in app such as Google Keyboard?
Thanks!

Strange. When I look in the Play Store, Google Keyboard is listed there, and I do have the uninstall option on my phone. Try that first, but if you have no joy, proceed below:
If you have TiBU (even the free version, as I recall), you can go to the Backup/Restore tab and scroll down to Google Keyboard.
Long press that, and then you'll be presented with the following options below:
In the first picture (on the left that ends in 47_1.png) are the initial options that appear in TiBU. Swipe left (if you need to) to see something similar to the picture on the right (that ends in 54_1.png).
Right there is the uninstall option, which should work.
Once that's successful, you should be able to re-download the app from the Play store.
Also, a reboot may be necessary after the titanium backup option, if you had to go that route, just fyi.

Hello,
Google Keyboard is listed in the Play Store. I uninstalled it and then I noticed that it said that there was an update available. It sounds like this app is part of the OS and can't be removed. I have no idea what to do at this point short of trying a different ROM.
Thanks for helping.
Bruce
Have you tried going into Settings>Apps, flipping over to all apps, and clearing the data/removing the updates that way?
What about Titanium? Any luck there?

Hey,
I uninstalled the keyboard and immediately it says that there is an update available in the Play Store. I did as you suggested by going into Settings/Apps/All but the program is not there. The same with Tit BU...the file is not there. Can't understand why the OS is staying that there is an update with the program being gone?
Thanks,
Bruce

That's very strange indeed. The only other possibility I could think of, is to switch to another ROM (the CyanogenMod official nightlies have always been good to me), but if you're feeling daring, there's always the unofficial builds from @mastamoon that I linked to a few replies back.
There's also a possibility of finding the actual app in some long-buried system folder. If you use ES File Explorer with root access enabled, try searching for Google keyboard or any combination thereof, and deleting that way.
What about making a backup of your current installation, re-flashing your current ROM, and then wiping the dalvik/cache/etc? If you need to restore anything after that, use TiBU to restore only the app information instead of the data (you'll most likely lose information such as high scores and whatnot from the games you have installed).
You could also switch to another keyboard entirely, such as SwiftKey, Swype or a myriad of others available on the play store, and set that as your default.

I forgot to ask: what happens if you install the update as prompted?

Hello,
If I click on Update it does appear to update but the next day it says there's another update available. This goes on each day. I have swiftkey on my phone but have not configured it for use yet. Maybe I'll try that now to see what happens.
Thanks,

TwistingSoul,
Last night I configured SwiftKey (paid version) and set it as my default keyboard. This morning when I turned on my S3 and checked for any updates in the Play Store, The Google Keyboard did NOT show up! I think my problem has been solved, thanks to you! I really appreciate your assistance.
BTW, what other ROM's would you consider to very good, besides Goodness? What do you think of JellyBam? I tried it (v9.1) but my camera froze up so I removed it. I would like to give it a try again sometime.
Have a good Sunday!
Bruce
Way to go! You did all of the hard work, so kudos to you.
As far as your ROM question, I've only ever run CyanogenMod, and various AOKP variants thereof. Hope you can find something that suits your needs.

Hi guys
this is my first thread in xda and I'm quite new in here. The story is I jumped from galaxy s5 to padfone s which I'm quite happy with.
I rooted it immediately and started to remove some useless Asus bloatwares. After that I realized that im not able to edit or add any contacts.
I was able to see them though. So I tried to install third party apps like contacts+ and dialer+. They were working fine but I still had the same problem so I thought maybe the contacts storage is corrupted so I uninstalled it and downloaded another one... But im not able to install the apk. It gives me the apk not installed error.
And now I'm not able to use contacts dialer or even Gmail
any helps please!

Try to save your contacts on your sim card. Or try to install Asus Pasfone stock rom again and see if it works.

I have all of my contacts backed up on Google and gcloud. If install the stock Rome all of my settings and customisations will erase. I was wondering if I can install contacts storage and makes it work somehow!

Thanks. I downloaded the latest rom from Asus and flashed it. Everything is back to normal now. I lost all my exposed settings though :cyclops:
