Does the AOSP browser still have the zooming bug (which made it effectively unusable)?

I've not noticed any problems

it doesn't text wrap or run smoothly like it used to, and has massive errors at the top of the screen when using full screen mode.
it's forced into a different mode because of kitkat's forced chromium mode.. it's a real pale shade of what it was pre kitkat

It's a bit jumpy animation wise. But I'm not bothered as its a quarter of the size on ART of Chrome

Thanks for the best version of the ASOP browser I've run yet! All the other ones had problems of one sort or another, some minor, some major, including the one that comes with an installer and is available in the play store. Your freshly compiled version is working great on my N5 and my N10 (both running stock, rooted 4.2.2), and I'll check tonight to see if it also runs on my Galaxy Nexus (which is a desk clock & remote control these days, but is still running JB, not KK).
It's the fastest version I've tried, syncs bookmarks perfectly, keeps my history as it should, doesn't require me to delete/rename the "BrowserProviderProxy" files, allows me to change the default user agent (which is REALLY necessary on the N10), and just works.
:highfive:
One tiny thing you might want to "fix" if you compile it again, is the missing "Find On Page..." menu item. It's the item located between the "Share Page" menu item and the "Request desktop site" menu item. Apparently the "Find On Page..." menu item resource is actually not located in the Browser.apk, and once resided somewhere else in the System of older versions of Android. At some point (maybe when Chrome became the default Nexus browser and Google stopped including the standard Browser), this resource was removed from the System, but was never added to the ASOP Browser, and so in recent versions of Android a "random" string shows up in the menu instead of "Find On Page...". On my N5 and N10 it's "System", but I think it depends on what Android version is running. Totally cosmetic; the menu item does what it's supposed to, regardless of what it says.
bradputt: Yes, just push them to /system/app/

I did
adb devices
adb remount
adb push Browser.apk /system/etc/
adb push BookMarkSync.apk /system/etc/
the adb reboot
still no browser, so I push them to system/app with root exp and set permissions, reboot. Now the browser show up, but when I open it, it say automatic Google signin then just close. Try to reopen it...it just close.

Install the one I linked from the play store. Then update with these ones by just installing normally and it overwrite/updates it

[Q/REQUEST] Camera Shortcut App

Is there a camera shortcut or an app that when I click it, it will prompt me to take a photo with the app of my choice (default camera, camera zoom, instagram, etc.)?
Just make a folder on your home screen with camera, instagram etc? Apex also allows you to make a shortcut to a specific screen within the app, it's called activities.

I don't have root access to my Note 3. I followed the instructions to download all the necessary files, installed them in the proper order, and did the language switch trick, but I'm getting force closes whenever I swipe to the left and click on any card.
^^^exactly .I dont want to root my phone . Doing the language switch is just a temporary solution and will go back to force close when do anything after on your phone .

no idea how i did this..
Okay so I'm not totally new to android. Tbh I do a lot more modding on I phones. But way more than your average jailbreaker.
I've had a rooted gs1 gs3 and now I've turned in my iphone5 for the Note 3. Great decision.
So I have my rooted note 3 on at&t.
I then somehow got xposed framework to work with the new Google launcher. (Okay Google hotword and Google now to the left working fully ) also installed the Google keyboard after with no problems.
The weird thing to me is I read all the instructions on how to install the new Google launcher experience, and followed the instructions.
But when I went to install all the apps but the Google launcher file (last file you install) they failed to install. So then once installing the launcher I rebooted. Then went into the xposed framework and turned on and off the module and rebooted again. Then I set all my settings, rebooted again. And the FINAL product is
The new Custom Themed Google experience.
Here are some pics.

Haxsync and KitKat

Hey guys, has anybody tried had sync? I always used it on my nexus devices, however, the last update for it is on October 6th, way before KitKat release date. I've read through some of the reviews and some have mentioned of it preventing phone from going to deep sleep and causing wake locks. That was on a galaxy phones though, no mention of issues on nexus 5. I have just got the nexus, don't really want to install something that's not fully compatible yet.

Working fine for me.. Just got my phone a couple hours ago, so can't really say much on the wake lock part. But, the contacts sync up and its fine so far..

Why not try it for your self? If it causes problems just uninstall it. Plan and simple. Not like it can brick your phone because an app isn't 100% compatible.

I did when I got my nexus. My battery died faster than expected. I looked through logs, and noticed that yahoo weather was draining a lot of battery on the background, ended up uninstalling that and haxsync because I figured that it could have been both as android usage was also high. Today, everything was fine. I will try to reinstall it.
I do seem to get some contact pics synced, I'm guessing by default Facebook app still doesn't sync contacts on stock, right? Pictures might be coming from Google +?

Google have blocked access to it in 4.4 so the built-in app is no longer available.

I believe they blocked the APIs used by the permissions editor which is why it crashes - but I'm struggling to find the reference I read that had this info.......

I downgraded my N4 back to 4.3. Disabling app ops is terrible. Even apple has this feature: iOS alerts you if any app wants to access your contacts, or your photos, or your camera, and you have a choice to allow or not. Android 4.3 does not alert you, but at least you have the option to dig into the App Ops and revoke access to certain things. 4.4 is the first time an android upgrade dissapointed me (they destroyed the alarm app, the keyboard, the wifi indicator's activity/internet access, and App Ops).
App ops was never an official feature, so they technically didn't remove anything.

I'm with you on the users defending Google like the can do no wrong, but definitely disagree about the YouTube g+ integration... They needed to clean YouTube up, and now I can see friend's comments on videos more easily and only view the comments and responses of certain people... That was a good idea..
I think Google is completely wrong by blocking this app ops function, if that's what happened here...

stock browser??

Can anyone upload the stick browser apk, it seems the Verizon version only comes with chrome and it's bugging me.
I noticed that too. Found it quite curious that HTC didn't include their browser.apk

This was one of the first things I noticed when setting up my home screen. Chrome is good but in the HTC browser I could set it to desktop mode instead of always having to request it in Chrome. I'm sure it's just another quirk that will be taken care of with root.

I'm actually okay with them removing the stock browser since I only use Chrome Beta and Link Bubble, but it was a curious decision by VZW since I know a lot of people like it. What's even more odd is that the AT&T M8 100% has it since i was playing around with one at work yesterday.

I pulled the HTC Browser off my HTC One Max but it is a system app so I can't install like normal nor can I push it to /system/app because /system is RO. Here is the apk anyway. Not much you can do with it though.

If the reason people want the stock browser over Chrome is because of Flash support then this may be a solution:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Here...e-Flash-support-in-Android-4.4-KitKat_id49851
I think once we get S-Off a lot will be revealed! People are saying these devices do come out of the box with stock internet and stock flashlight app and who knows what else? Thing is, the carriers had these locked down so not visible to the user. Once we are able to modify system files these can then be revealed! I'm hoping that the built in stock text messaging app feature to block people will be restored as well! The international users have all these features out of the box!!!!!!!
