I didn't like the Sense UI Browser because the adress bar took up so much space when the website was loading.
So if you want it follow these directions.
1. Download the browser (mediafire.com/?fn3jkw1mm2m)
2. Mount your Hero.
3. Place the Browser.apk in the root of the sdcard
4. Download and install EStrong File Explorer if you do not already have it.
5. Go to phone settings and then applications and check "Unknown Sources"
6. Then go to the settings of the EStrong file explorer and then press "Root Options"
7. Then press "Root Explorer", click OK to the pop-up, and click "always allow" for SU Permit Pop-up (if you have it, I do not know if this will work without it), and then click CyanogenMod (do not worry)
8.Click "Mount File System"
9. Go back to settings and change the home directory from "/sdcard/" to "/"
10. Go to sdcard through EStrong File Explorer
11. Find the "Browser.apk" and hold it until it gives you a menu
12. click cut
13. click the home icon at top of screen
14. navigate to /system/app/
15. press menu and then operations
16. press paste
17. click yes to pop-up (it is asking you if you want to replace the old Browser.apk, you will not still have the sense web browser)
18. Click install and ok to any pop-ups
All Done. Have Fun.

I installed the Dexter 1.1 mod and now I cant get my calendar open. I really need to get google calendar working on my A7 its one of the main reasons I purchased it. Any help for a newbie is welcomed.

and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10958353&postcount=412
I need to do the same thing.
Ok, yes I'm a noob! How do I get to the root explorer to change the name of the calendar app?
You first have to install Root Explorer.
It allows you to change permissions for your files so you can move, delete, rename, etc. them.
While in Root Explorer, you will see a button near the top that says, "Mount R/W"
That button switches between read-only and read-write permissions for the folder you are viewing. To change a file, you need to tap that button.
If it says, "Mount R/O," then you have permission to change files.
There is a good video on YouTube that shows how to use Root Explorer at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ChTvvmRR6Y
He actually demonstrates how to rename a file in the video.
So, in Root Explorer, navigate to /system/app folder.
Tap the "Mount R/W" button so it says "Mount R/O"
long press on calendar.apk and choose rename. Rename to calendar_old.apk.
Find the correct calendar.apk on your sd card, long press on it and choose copy.
Navigate back to /system/app folder.
tap on Paste.
Tap the "Mount R/O" button to lock your permissions.
You are done!
(Hopefully, Dexter will include the working calendar in his latest ROM)
Thank you I will give that a try tomorrow. I really appreciate all the work Dexter does. I must admit I haven't had much time to learn the Droid OS. Honstly I just want to know enough to install the Dexter updates and use my A7 for internet, mail and keep track of my rather large officiating schedule. Is there an easier to use calendar app that I could purchase? Honestly outside of MS Outlook I almost prefer a dayplanner type monthly calendar to anything I've seen or tried for iPhone Droid. I'd like a monthly view that you can see a few details in. Just simple I dont need a million functions outside of syncing with google cal. Any suggestions?
Hi,
I was wondering if somebody could upload system/app/DockService.apk from Bell. My system version is 45.2.17.MB860.BellMobility.en.CA
Looks like I removed the original DockService.apk by accident while I was testing out some WebTop feature.
Your help would be much appreciated!
Here are the steps how to get DockService.apk if you have Root Explorer and a micro SD card.
1. Launch Root Explorer (you will be on the root directory)
2. Scroll down and open "system" folder by tapping
3. Open to "app" folder by tapping
4. Scroll down until you find DockSerivce.apk
5. Hold down the file for a sec, you will see a pop-up window with options
6. Select "Copy" (you will see Paste and Cancel buttons at the bottom)
7. Hit back button twice (this will bring you back to the root directory)
8. Scroll down until you find "sdcard-ext" folder
9. Tab the folder and tap "Paste" button at the bottom
10. Plug your atrix onto a pc and go to your the SD card on Windows Explorer
11. Upload the file
It's much simpler than how it looks.
I found out that my DockService.apk was the original. The reason why it didn't work was the permissions got changed during copy & paste some how. I changed the permissions back to rw-w-w like other files in "app" folder, everything works fine.
iam rooted on buzz but when i want delete tones it say
system file is read only
Are you rooted?
yes rooted
Which file manager are you trying to use to delete the ringtones?
yes ringtones
What file manager are you trying to use to delete them?
(as in Root explorer, ES File Explorer, ...)
explorer blue one
That doesn't really help me much.
Tell me it's name please
explorer secon in market speed software

I am presuming you mean "File Expert"
Do this to allow you to delete system files:
1. Click the menu key and select More.
2. Within that menu click Settings
3. Select "File Explorer Settings"
4. Scroll down and select "Root Explorer"
5. Click "Allow" in the window that pops up
no root button in explorer
Okay let's do this another way.
1. Download ES File Explorer from the Market
2. Open it up and press the menu button and select "Settings"
3. Scroll all the way down and select "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System"
There.
thank worked can this way delet stock apps
You can, but don't get too crazy, some apps are needed for the system to function properly
directory apps system?
/system/app

I've got my phone rooted. When I use remount it says .cust_backup/image is rewritable, but when I go to ES File Explorer I can't find the .cust_backup folder to replace the recovery.img in. I can't mount on the pink screen either. So I'm stuck
This is on B526. Google shows zero results on this issue, feels like I'm the only one with this problem?
1- First and most import question your phone must be rooted? If you have custom rom then you have root.
2- After that install root explorer from playstore and then you can see folder "cust_backup" mount "/.cust_backup" as rw.
3- And copy this recovery (you can choose either version) to that folder and tried to reboot should be working.
Sorry if I sound rude, but did you actually read my post lol?
Try this:
Open ES File Explorer and enable Root and Mount RW
Open Settings, press the Menu key then Settings
Scroll Down to Other Settings
Select Root Settings
Check the following Options
Root Explorer
Up to Root
Mount File System

Well I didn't really do what you said, but it got me to search around in the settings and I found "display "." path files" (or whatever it said).
Found the folder

haha! I know what your problem is. The .cust_backup folder is hidden! You must go into ES File Explorer's settings, and file a option that says to show hidden files. If you are on the latest version of ES File Explorer, use these steps:
Open ES File Explorer.
Press the menu button on your phone.
From the menu that opens from the left, select the settings button (located on the bottom-right of the menu that just opened.
Once you are in the settings of ES Fiile Explorer, go into "Display setting".
Then, tick the first option that says "Show hidden files"
Now, go back to the root of your phone and you should be able to see ".cust_backup"
If you have any problems then let me know, but it is very simple. Good Luck

Now I can install .apk files from Chrome/Dropbox /es file explorer!!!!.................So I did this by accident I was trying to mess with the keyboard setting in the root folders and I got a setting popup.
1. You must have root
2. Es File explorer / turn on Root Explorer
3. navigate to /Device/System/app/
4. all I did was click on BuellerIME.apk and a pop up settings menu came up, from there a settings menu with unknown sources in it appeared. I checked unknown sources and that was that
anyone else confirm ? i only ask because i am on my second ftv ( bricked the first one some how )
Just tried it an it didn't work for me. When I launcher the app it only gave me the option to "Install" and said "Would you like to update this system application..." so I backed out. I'll stick to the other method.
It didn't work for me either. After I clicked the settings, no further menu appeared so that I can't check unknown.
