While I was removing some bloat from my Vibrant, I accidentally deleted the browser.odex file. Can anyone upload it flying here for me?

I know there are alternatives, I'm currently using Dolphin Browser HD. I would still like to have the default browser though.

I would, but I don't know how to get back browser.odex!
did you try downloading it?
this seems to be the theme of the day..
just look for one of the stock roms in the dev section and reflash.. if its in the form of an update zip then you can just extract the system app folder, then push the needed apps to your phone..

Yea trust me I tried that, usually you can click on the apk through Root Explorer and act like your gonna install it and it will show you what the icon looks like, I just cant find the MF lol
MobileAP is what it usually is called... might be under a different name.
I can't find it either on my 2.2 powered Epic.
FYI, I have removed it 1,000 times on various Epics with 2.1 using titanium backup or root explorer.

I mean to actually browse your applications that you have installed. I've never heard of one apk putting two icons into your applications. This case, settings.apk throwing both Settings and the Hotspot in there.
Oh well. Traded my Sprint Tab in for AT&T Friday.

Change your user agent to desktop. Cyanogen and other custom ROMs have this built in, but you can use third party browsers to do it too.

I would use the Hulu.apk as it runs much smoother than playing a video via the browser. I'm sure it's on these forums if you search or you can rip it out of SkyRaider.
If you want to go the browser route, type the following into your URL (without the quotes), "about:debug"
Hit enter (nothing will happen)
Go to menu and scroll all the way down to UA string. Change to desktop. Hulu should now work.

No, you can't replace files in the /system partition without root privledges.
does anyone have this in an apk instead of just the so file. I tried to adb push it in sdk tools and it still doesn't work.
EDIT: OK I think I must have pushed it to the wrong folder because I tried again and now it is working for me.

this worked for me but only using the Hulu.apk, and not the website on Droid Incredible Cyanogenmod 6.1
It is weird. I had the app and used it and now the icon is there, but it wouldn't work. Then when I looked in the app area it isn't there. I have Kings speed Rom I think. I'll have to check to make sure. It has sense 3.0. Has anyone had their market vanish. I see post where people are asking how to install it, but I've always had it for like 2 weeks.

Reflash the rom without wiping data - just wipe cache and dalvik. You of course have to know what rom you're running to be able to reflash it.

You can pull the market apk from the rom via 7zip or winzip or whatever, and push it to your /system/app/ folder

Or just do a quick Google search for android market and reinstall like you would an app. I accidentally deleted my market once and did that, worked just fine

I signed onto android market on my pc and tried to download it and it kept saying the app is not compatible. I just realized it is an app for an android tablet. I need to figure out where to find the regular android market for a phone. I did a search on market.android.com and it keeps finding the tablet version.

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but Chrome now works with the 120 DPI setting, and I must say it is a really nice browser, will definitely switch from the stock one.
Do you think they will drop the stock browser for Chrome? I think they might on Jelly Bean.
Also, I had it before on my fire but it takes so much space 60 megs of internal storage. So I uninstalled it. Also NO FLASH.

Same thing here. I posted a logcat over in the Gederom dev thread but I'm not sure it's a ROM issue. Sounds more widespread.
I have noticed major memory leaks with Chrome... not on my KF, but on my unrooted galaxy note get n7000. After a couple hours in the background, it takes over the system

ICS Browser + is way better

Count me also. Hope we get a fix but will go back to Firefox or Dolphin in the meantime. Disappointed in the stock browser as it always seems hesitant/slow for me - I'd love to use it.
Anyone solve this yet?
Me too
Crashes for me too when I try to go into settings. Running Energy ROM on rooted KF
Might give firefox a try

I used to have the same problem when using the 120 DPI setting with the beta version of chrome, if switched back to 160 it would work just fine. Finally this out-of-beta version works fine with 120 DPI.
Not sure what might be different, I tried multiple options but nothing worked until now.
Dolphin seems to have more features than Chrome. Chrome keeps cropping out when I was use it.
Has anyone been successful in installing the browser.apk from an ICS build onto the Nexus 7? I tried dropping the browser.apk from CM9 into /system/app and fixing permissions, but it just force closes immediately.
I need the old browser, Chrome doesn't cut it for me since bookmarklets don't work.

I suggest you adapt.
according to the google nexus 7 manual that you can download on google books, it says you can download the old browser via google play. i havent tried it yet since my nexus 7 wont arrive till next week, but maybe have a look in google play?
theres also ICS browser+ in google play, which is more or less the stock ICS browser but with more features.
..
If I'm not mistaken, once a build for the N7 is built from A.O.S.P the browser will not be chrome..
Chrome isn't open sourced yet.

I've been looking for this too, mainly because I want a full screen browser and I don't think chrome can do that. I've looked in all the settings and found nothing

I'd also love to know the answer to this. Have side-loaded flash 11.1 which sort of works with Dolphin but would prefer the 'native' ICS browser as I think the compatability would be better - at least until a Jellybean version of iPlayer comes out.
Skyfire will play Flash videos on the Nexus 7 without installing Flash but they're recompressed first on their servers.
I too would like the option of using the stock Android browser with my N7. If the Galaxy Nexus can run it under Jelly Bean 4.1.1 why can't the N7? At least give us the option of sideloading it.
When startin the N7 it said something about if you want flash in Chrome, dl the Chrome in Play Store. Have not tried this.
I don't Understand why they shipped it with chrome to begin with. The aosp jellybean browser is much smoother and faster then chrome. I tried one ROM that included it and it worked so much better. Unfortunately some other things didn't work right in that ROM.
Found that with flash 11.1.115.11 fullscreen video works on iPlayer using the latest Aurora build of Firefox (you can download the APK in Chrome from the Mozilla website). As it's a nightly build a few things are still clearly pre-release (e.g. thumbnail tab previews are corrupt) but the browser itself is impressive. Worth a try and less risk of breaking something if the standard browser isn't easy to install.
