S3 browser question - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Ok, I have an S3 running 4.1.2 because i dont want to lose my flash player ability. I am rooted and have the update app (sdm 1.0) frozen in titanium backup to avoid the update messages. I am running the stock rom. I want to install the AOSP browser and cannot find anything on how to install it with my particular setup. I am at wits end and if someone could direct me on what to do, i would greatly appreciate it.
thanks

I have sidestepped and been using Firefox for flash support.

Dolphin browser will play flash as well, although you have to enable it in settings first for it to work. I have upgraded to kitkat & flash works fine this way, although I did install adobeflash.apk along so not sure if that is needed too.

No jus download this and install like any other app and it will work on the hulu app or or the internet jus change your user agent to IE6 its not a fix its the adobe app with the fix already in it jus uninstall the old adobe and put this in gets no easier
Does not work, i tried it with the HULU App and i tried it with HULU.com -- (and i changed the string to desktop in dolphin browser)
On hulu.com it just said that i need to have flash installed (seemed as though it showed i didn't have any flash installed) -- and once i reverted back to stock flash 10.2 it didn't say that anymore
Dont know what to say Ive got some confirmation from another that it worked for him also worked for me so any feedback from others would be appreciated

You did something wrong then, works great for me. Uninstalled the old version, installed this one and voila HULU working with the new version of Flash.
Thx 4 the feedback I really felt I had this aced
Works great!
Not sure what i could have done wrong?
I went into the market and chose uninstall flash 10.2 --
Then i went into ES file explorer and installed the hacked flash from this thread, then i installed the HULU apk
and had no luck.. do i need to do a restart after installing it or something?
am i missing something?

Messaging isn't in Gapps.
OP, SkyICS uses Samsung's messaging apk so your best bet is going to be to re-install the base. I am attaching the MMS.apk from the SkyICS base, so you can try dropping that in \system\apps\; don't forget to change the permissions.
Thanks, I did that but it didn't worked either, but went to the play store and looked for the ICS message app and installed ;D it was that simple all the time, thanks everybody.
Before you reflash
Go to settings-> Applications-> all -> and scroll ALL THE WAY to the end of the list. See if it is disabled.
This happened on mine, just renable and was good to go.

I've had notification issues with that app; double-check that you're getting all your text notifications before you close the book on this. Otherwise, great app if you prefer the AOSP look, which I do.
It looks good, actually I don't mind how it looks as long as it works. thanks for the help everybody.

[Q] How do you get Google Now to work???

I'm brand new to the SIII, switched from a Rezound yesterday. I'm rooted, unlocked and running CleanRom. I know others have gotten Google Now to work but I'm at a loss for device specific install instruction! This is what I did and had no luck, kept getting force closes and black screens: downloaded the m7_velvet.apk to extsd....rename as 'GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk.....replace in /system/ app....change the permissions to read,write,execute/read,execute/read,execute....rebooted. Any help would be awesome!!

Download the flashable zip of your choice for the ARMv7. I recommend the online only version. Then flash it in cwm.

Dont know what post I was reading that was telling me to just install the apk, but what I was trying to install earlier was now obviously just the update apk. Works fine now, thanks!!
I just installed it today. I think it's a little silly that the back button doesn't work to exit the app. Others having issues with that?

Very true, not going to complain too much and all I had to do was drop a few files. I renamed all the other folders/files it was supposed to overwrite so all is good, didn't need to take a nandroid or anything. Pretty nifty feature to have and takes stock rooted one step closer to JB.

I kinda like Splanner app of Samsung and a few more apps. Thats the only reason i went back to stock after the cyanogen10 rom. (also the inability to do video calls was a downer for C10). Is it possible to remove the apps post installation after rooting the tab?

[Q] Problem with Open PDroid and PDroid Manager installation

Hello there,
I got a problem with installing Open Pdroid on my Galaxy s I9000. Its rooted and running on CM 10.1.0-RC2 and Android 4.2.2.
The thing is, I can't figure out what exactly I am doing wrong.
I used Kobik77's ApG to create the update.zip and restore.zip and had no further issues with it.
On my phone I entered CWM and installed the .zip without any error.
I installed PDroid Manager via Google Play.
So far so good. But now PDroid Manager says: "The PDroid Core has not been detected on your device."
As of now I am not sure whether the patching Process via ApG has been a failure, something went wrong
when installing it via CWM, the PDroid Manager has been buggy, or none of it and I just missed
some detail, like the version I am using is not supported (though I am pretty sure I read somewhere that 4.2.2 and CM 10.1 are supported).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Edit: my problem has slightly changed. PDroid manager now always asks me to configure it when i install a new app. But when i attempt to do so, it says: "PDroid Manager has been closed."
When i open PDroid manager via the apps icon it still tells me that open pdroid Installation cannot be detected.
- If there is any additional information u need, I'll gladly provide it.
- I hope this is the right place to post it.. I already tried to post in
the dev forum (permission denied) where an information kindly
directed me here .
- And one last thing .. go easy on me I am new to smartphones
in general and have only aquired some basic knowledge through
reading.

Hadn't seen these posts before, sorry.
You are only flashing the update.zip file, and not the restore.zip as well?
I use ApG to build openDroid for my LG 4X HD and it works fine.
Hello, first of all thanks for the reply! Yes i only flash the update zip. Flashing the the restore zip would defeat the purpose right?

I can't think of anything obvious that would cause this. Are you running the stock Kernel? I would suggest trying a totally clean install of CM with the .zip file you created by ApG. Don't install anything other than the pDroid Manager and test it again. If it's still not working then try with a newer version of CM, possibly the latest nightly for your device.

Actually i have no idea if i run the stock kernal, as I said, I am pretty new to smartphones.
"3.0.76-gc0a8d45
[email protected] #1"
..is what it says in the phone's settings. Doesn't sound like a stock to me.
I will install the latest nightly build first and try it again. If possible i want to avoid to go through the trouble
of reinstalling all my apps. Seems like I have to find a good backup solution earlier than expected if I
want to keep as much of my data as possible >.<
Well thanks again for taking the time to deal with my problem!

The kernel sounds stock - if you don't remeber flashing a different kernel then you're fine. If you're that worried about losing your apps then just flash the latest nightly and use ApG on that version to try - but do a NanDroid backup of everything first, just in case.

OK i screwed and bricked my phone Anyway i managed to try a few things:
I flashed latest CM nightly and tried to get Open PDroid via the update zip from ApG --> failed
I did factory reset and wiped the cache / did a clean install of ONLY (I just tried randome stuff here) the update zip --> failed
I did factory reset and wiped cache / did a clean istall of latest CM nightly, rebooted and installed the ApG update zip --> failed
Each time the PDroid Manager wasn't able to detect a, in my case Open PDroid, installation.
I noticed that it took especially long to initiate the download of PDroid Manager, I mean the bar before the actual download starts. It took a few minutes until sth. happened. Though i doubt it has anything to do with, I just wondered if it may be conflicting with anything in the system. But probably just due to the reset.
I am getting desperate here
Well anyway.. I may have done a mistake,but realized it too late: Did u mean to install without the gapps? .. I did install CM with gapps...
If I was meant to install CM without gapps i will try that tomorrow!
If any different ideas come to mind.. I will try anthing else too.
thanks again..
Hey, my phone's fixed and my problem changed a little, but i dont know if i it is any
progress.
PDroid Manager still displays the same message, that Open PDroid core could not be
detected, but whenever i istall a app now, it asks me to configure it.
When i press the button in the status bar, where it appears, it just says: "PDroid Manager has
been closed".
So basically i can't do anything with it, but it sometimes tells me it's there
any suggestions?
Maybe anyone has the same issue?
I'd be happy if you shared your experience.

If OpenPdroid isn't working, have you tried Pdroid2.0? It's not the best solution, but it is one.
Thanks for your reply. I might actually try that. I'd really like to get open pdroid working though or at least understand why it doesn' t. So if there are some other solutions i'll be happy to hear about them.

I've been offline for a few days so am only just catching up on stuff. Given the problem you are now having, I'd suggest run ApG and copy the entire text output from the log. Post that along with a description of the problem you're having onto the ApG Dev thread, and also a logcat if you can.
Hi SimonTS thanks for directing me to the dev forum. I got my Problem fixed. The reason it didnt work is pretty embarassing though .
I had a old version of apg and/or the open pdroid Version that comes with it. everything works just fine now. Thanks for your efforts.
