Is there any hope for this? I don't want to switch ROMs just for a browser.
Thanks guys

Next time search a little harder.
I feel stupid but how do you install that? With CWM? I unzipped, installed adobe flash but the browser fails.
I tried searching.
Thanks.

You need two files, browser.apk and flash player.apk, taken from this zip, to put them to system directory.

DUDE! I could freaking kiss you! For some reason I tried multiple files, and they were not working, but the one you sent worked!!!
Didn't even flash the zip, just extracted and copied the needed files over to system directory!
Much appreciated!
Awesome info. I had never tried getting the AOSP browser on here before.
Since we're here, does anybody know how to get the CM messaging app on this phone?
I've taken the MMS.apk file, pushed to system/app and it works except MMS makes the app force close.
Does anybody know how to fix this?

It will not work because I don't have permission it says? I've never had issues before I attribute this to trying to modify things on a stock rom which I don't have much experience doing.

Try this....
Remove all three files. Reboot
Copy only browser and chrome sync adapter. reboot
See how it runs then.
If all is well, copy flash. Reboot
Hopefully everything should be ok, then.
These are the exact steps I followed - I had FC's before I rebooted then everything turned out ok after.

Does this require a de odexed rom? The stock galaxy nexus has odex files so im not sure if this will work?
Also you mention the exchangegoogle.apk this isnt provided here, do you mean you backed up the stock one and reinstated it along with the moded emailgoogle.apk after a reboot?
Cheers

I would say it requires de-odexed ROM.
I can't install this as normal application, it will return fail.
So I know I need to clear the email off the system (including the ExchangeGoogle).
Backed it up, delete and reboot.
Then I copy both of them back and reboot it.
guys you dont need to touch ExchangeGoogle at all.
EmailGoogle is all you need.

I deleted the 2 files from system/app
rebooted
copied the modded EmailGoogle and then the ExchangeGoogle APKs back to system/app
changed file permissions to read/write, read, read.
rebooted.
Immediately on bootup I get the exchange error. I tried to go through email setup and got the exchange error several more times then it closed the email app.

I'm using kwiboo's ICS AOSP ROM with franco.kernel ICS on Nexus S.
How about you try to set it up, just ignore the bloody exchange service has stopped, reboot and uninstall it through titanium.
I think the issue is the some sort of "registry". Need to clear this one for sure.
Works
Works on I9000 ICS port Beta1. I just followed the steps in OP. Thanks
I use Exchange mail for work and I'm curious: why would you actually need this? Is this only for people who have specific security policies that prevent the stock Email app from connecting to the server?

Yep, I I accidentally the whole thing. I clicked the wrong button in TIBU.
Anyways, I got the phone yesterday, updated it to 2.3.6, and rooted it, but otherwise left it alone. I just rooted so I could restore my apps from my previous phone with TIBU. I did not restore data. Today, I was trying to fix an issue I was having with accounts and sync, and I meant to freeze it, but I hit uninstall and wasn't paying attention to the prompts, so it uninstalled it. It was backed up, but I can't re-install it. I even found the app's .apk in system/app folder, and tried to re-install it but it will not, it just tries for like a second and then says "Not installed". The option is now missing from my settings menu.
I would really like a way to fix it without having to wipe and re-install the OS, but if I have to I can.
nb4 "did you search?" yes, I did. I couldn't find anything that helped.
Thanks in advance, everyone.
Download a rom for your phone thats2.3.6 and unzip it. Go into system/app and take the apk that u need. Push it to your system/app folder with root explore. Change permissions to the ones on the pic and reboot and u should be good.

I did that, but the Applications and Sync option is not there.
If I did a recovery update to 2.3.6 again, would that fix it perhaps? or will it not let me update it that way since it's already on 2.3.6?

reflash whatever rom you currently have, but don't wipe the data/factory reset. Since the file you need is in the system folder it'll rewrite.

I just ran the 2.3.6 update again. It fixed it, but it turns out that the problem I was trying to fix in the first place which led me to uninstall the app was not a problem at all, it was google locking out facebook sync on nexus S meh, whatever. I only did it for the pictures anyways. Thanks though!
Odd.
In the original firmware I was able to edit build.prop to change my dpi to 120 but now I cannot. It won't save any changes. Also, I tried pasting an .apk into my /system/app folder and it blocked me. Then I tried pushing it with adb and it gave me a read-only error.
I know I am rooted - can run Titanium Backup, etc.
Anyone have any idea?

Did you try another root explorer?
Root explorer can be finicky.
Also try clearing it out of super su and and reallowing it. Or wipe app data.
But from my experience with root explorer, I have always hated it!! Try File Manager HD, It is great and has root explorer and system mountable all the time

I was wondering if you have resolved this issue because im having the same problem now. Do you recall doing anything that may have caused this issue? Everything for me started going heywire once i installed init.d support just a second ago. I Can r/w and r/o in certain parts of the system but i cant paste anything anywhere. I also noticed increase cpu load afterwards. Might i add this is the second time i have had these issues after installing init.d support script. The way i solved this the first time was i had to odin stock firmware and this solved everything. Id like to refrain from doing this again though because ill loose all my stuffs and have to set everything up again.

How did you achieve root? In other threads, problems with write access to /system are reported when a rooted firmware was flashed. Only the method with CWM (install CWM, flash SuperSU) did work.

Oh the first time i rooted with the CWM method. But the second time, i did odin a rooted firmware Now that i think about it, the first time i was able to write to /system but now i can't after a rooted firmware flash. So the init.d script wasnt the problem. I just made an assumption because before, i havent touched anything in /system but when i installed init.d script it was actally the first time i tried to edit /system after the rooted firmware. So yes looks like im going to have to odin a stock non-rooted firmware. Thanks man! Makes alot of since now.
edit: couldn't i just try the cwm method and see it it overwrites, cause the only UEALGB firmware i can find is prerooted. I don't want to switch to UEALH2.

Try Root Explorer(or ES File Explorer) & enable R/W for system files
Check your SuperSU/Superuser app.
See if your access is granted & not denied.
If SuperSU/Superuser asking for update, update it (usually binary update)
If your SuperSU/Superuser is gone, re-install it from Play Store & run it for the first time to update binary.
Retry modifying your system file(s)

3) reboot

I deleted it with an app like titanium backup. After that you just need to reboot your phone and installed the inverted APK and all is well.
This method works for just about all the system apps. Just remember to Make a backup before you start cutting away.

yep Email didn't work.
Unfortunately I stopped using Blackout apps because of a bug. Every time I would install any Blackout apps, my Hangouts would develop a weird scrolling bug (even if I didn't install blackout hangouts at all). On normal Hangouts when you type a message and send it, it should scroll to the very bottom. But when mine was bugged, it never scrolled after I typed a message, unless someone replied. I could scroll manually but still, drove me nuts. Reinstalling hangouts and it's lib dependance didn't fix it. Reverting blackout apps didn't fix it either. Tried wiping cache, dalvik, wiping hangouts data, nothing. I had to do RSD Lite complete clean flash to make it work properly again.
I really wish I could have them on, if it weren't for the hangouts bug.

It's not the same.
So, is there any way to do this on a verizon one (locked bootloader)? In my attempt to install the blacked out mms, I tried flashing the zip from stock recovery, but it failed to verify. Tried installing the Mms.apk from the zip via adb and pm, and it said INSTALL_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES
so then I signed it with a key as per android doc, and then I got INSTALL_FAILED_UID_CHANGED. so i figured out it was because the /data/data/com.android.mms was still hanging around. removed that, tried again and got INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT. That's where i stopped.
I'm starting to think i'll have to wait till there's safestrap for moto x. If not then let me know what i need to do!

So, is there any way to do this on a verizon one (locked bootloader)? In my attempt to install the blacked out mms, I tried flashing the zip from stock recovery, but it failed to verify. Tried installing the Mms.apk from the zip via adb and pm, and it said INSTALL_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES

Just manually install it with any root explorer but before you replace your existing MMS apk , rename it to MMS.apk.bak. Change permission to rw-r-r and reboot.

Can you explain what you mean by "manually install it" ? If you mean clicking the apk file and and hitting install, that doesn't work for me. from Root Browser, with system mounted as read write, it just says "App did not install"
If I just copy to /system/app and change permissions, it doesn't actually install it. it's not listed as an app in my applications.
I did figure out that I can restore the titanium backup by mounting /system as read write and restoring the backup, so i have my messaging back, just really want to get blacked out working!
EDIT: another thing I tried was replacing the apk file in the titanium backup with the blacked out apk. That also did not work. Titanium backup just sits there spinning with "restoring app"

Any chance you're using jcase's root method? You use any root file explorer , copy the MMS apk , go to system/app and change the existing MMS.app to MMS.apk.bak and also the odex mms file, then copy the inverted mms .apk and change the permissions to rw-r-r

Okay, tried your way. It doesn't matter whether I remove Mms.apk, rename it to Mms.apk.bak, or straight overwrite it with the other. Every time the original Mms.apk leaves the /system/app folder, it is removed from the list of installed apps. The Messaging app literally disappears off the screen.
Yes, I used PwnMyMoto

Yah, thought you're using pwnmymoto, I believe if you reboot it wipes r/w privledges? Can you do it through penmymoto. Sorry I'm frigging getting a headache. I just found out that some major dinaro, mula, cash that's owed to me I'm not going to see it, does anyone live near lake Mary Florida? I need you to brake some frigging legs, there's a 10‰ finders fee 400 bucks . I guess I'll have to put a lien on the property here in Toronto, just pissed

I guess it was just that particular version. This one worked fine:

Anyone know if it will work for us on sense?
EDIT: I got it working. Use the following app and create a shortcut after installing. (Per a comment on the website linked)

I tried installing one apk with no luck, said it installed but did nothing to the phone

I would imagine that it will only work on AOSP, and it would probably have to go in the priv-app folder.
It works just fine. You can't install it, but you can move it to the /system/priv-app folder, set the permissions to -rw-r--r--, and reboot. I'm using it on CleanROM right now.
Did you have to rename any apk? It won't work for me, I'm on Viper.
The ONE!
Mine is named GoogleDialer.apk. The permissions have to be -rw-r--r-- and you have to reboot before it will work. If you don't see the new phone icon after a reboot you can use this workaround.
