I an having a problem with the stock browser. It is not opening.when I go to open it, the screen turns white as if the phone is about to open it, but then it closes and goes back to my home. I was going to clear the browser data with titanium backup but I don't see it as an option. Thanks

Try Settings > Applications > Manage applications > select the tab that says "All" > find Browser.apk, select it, then hit clear data.
You can clear the data by going to settings>applications>manage apps the just hold down on browser and clear data.. but honestly I would downlod miren or opera browser the stock one is just awful
EDIT: screw you overstew you beat me too it lol

Ok I tried that but it still isn't working. I am on srf 1.11. And yes, I have dolphin browser but I like the stock app for some things.

Have you flashed a theme over it? It's possible that the theme contains an unfriendly no-ciq browser app. (in other words, you may need to reflash and try again). SRF 1.1.1 is working great for me on the browser.
Im having the same issue with my browser running SRF 1.1.1 as well, when I first flashed it, it was working perfectly but a few hours later I get that same white screen and then it closes, I PMed qbking77 about this issue waiting for his relpy, but any help would be great
I have this same issue :
I am running SRF 1.1.0 with the [THEME][EC05][4/26/11]Honeycomb Fusion 2.0 /+Addons! (SRF/Bonsai/midNight compatible)
Going to extract the browser apk from the ROM when I get home, and see if that solves it
So here is the quick fix that qbking77 gave me, reflash the rom without wiping anything, worked for me and my stock browser works again, and still have all my apps working great
I had the same problem. What I ended up doing was downloading another rom (simply aosp) ad extracting the browser using root explorer. Via root explorer I then went to system > apps > changed the system mount from r/w to r/o deleted the browser.apk that was in srf 1.1.1 and copied the simply aosp browser over. It has worked fine ever sense. Of course you can always just find a copy of the browser.apk without dl a rom and extracting. But that's just what I did. Clearing data never seemed to work for me, nor did reflashing the rom. Hope that helps.

He wouldn't need to flash, just push the stock browser to system

Hi all,
so the issue I'm noticing is that when you compare a rooted vs an unrooted stock froyo evo on a browser test, the rooted one is not as fast as the unrooted opening a website already cache on the system.
my example is www.citibank.com, get both evos; the rooted and the unrooted one, put them side to side.
1. uncheck mobile view on both phones.
2. now open the website on both phones let it load completely.
3. now close (using advanced task killer) both browsers on the phones. now open them at the same time, since the browser automatically remembers the last website visited.
4. now notice how the unrooted loads the website in matter of seconds 3 to 5 seconds, maybe less. now look at the rooted it loads the website as if it were the first time opening up.
so that make me thinks that the cache on the rooted or something else is a little messed up.
try it for yourself and let me know. Thanks
PS. after noticing this, i was running netarchy's stock-rooted-2.2 before, i unrooted my evo by installing the ruu official 2.2 that someone got over at the development session and did the tutorial to rooted once more, the one that is over at the development section. that pc36img file that its loaded at the end of the tutorial, seems to not have that issue even though it is rooted but then when i upgraded to 3.28.651.1 rooted unreleased OTA, it happened again.
Are you making sure both phones are set to internal or external cache?
Sounds about like the diff. Between internal vs mem card loading

Hi,
thanks for your reply. huh now you gave me something else to think, it sounds like what you are saying might be the issue. now how or where do i change these settings, i never heard of it.
Thanks in advanced.
Hi all,
no one has a guide on how to set stock browser to load its cache on internal or sdcard memory??
Really no one!!!???
SOLVED!!!
Hi all,
ok so i solved my issue by going into settings->applications-->managed applications-->all--> internet, here i press "Force Stop" then "Clear Data", and that put the browser back to stock, stock. it was so stock that the first page opening up was Google instead of Sprint's page. Now my browser cache seems to be kicking off.
Alright so guess what, this happens when restoring bookmarks using Titanium Backup. so this is an issue with Titanium Backup app.

i know not related to the subject but your nickname reminds me of my old turkish freind?are you turkish?
I went back to stock JI6 because I had some problems with Bionix Final. Of course the Gallery is basically non-functional on JI6.
I pulled this from Bionix Final and copy/pasted it from my SD Card into system/app/ with Super Manager's file explorer but any root explorer will work. Backup the original Gallery3D.apk first or rename it to Gallery3D.old.apk. Replacing the Gallery APK with this version seems to fix the problems for me, let me know if this works for you as well.

Delete .odex Gallery3D.apk as well, back it up if you want.
Thanks for posting this, so far it seems to be working for me as well.
What is the difference between this and the stock Gallery3d?

I updated the OP to reflect deleting the .odex Gallery3D, since it would be the other version that hangs often.

This one doesn't crash, hang, or cause your phone to reboot every 5th or 6th time you open the gallery.

Ok, thanks. I did notice it seems more stable and a lot faster.
Thank you very much for this. My gallery was almost useless, it would freeze the phone 75% of the time I tried to open it. Now it works like it should.

Nice work!
My problems with the Gallery went away when I started useing 2.2 roms. For those who like the modem strength and other things about JI6, this is a great fix. Well done, I know you've been on this issue for a while after many of us gave up. Nice job.
Now I have the option to go back to JI6 when 2.2 gets too buggy.
Thx.

Hi - I've upgraded to stock Froyo (re-rooted afterward, no worries) and couldn't re-run OCLF. It told me that it couldn't install 'EXT2 Tools' as \system\lib is full. So I downloaded root explorer as I thought I had to re-mount the directory. I opened that, went to the right folder and changed the little button to 'rw'..... no difference.
What am I missing??
Thanks.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated - I also mounted as r/w with SGS Tools with no impact. I don't know if that's the issue stopping me from using One Click Lag Fix, but maybe.
I have no problems running OCLF and I'm running stock froyo rom. Try again!

I currently have Bionix-V 1.2.1 + Overstock 1.4 on my phone. When I use the camera shooting a picture, I don't get the picture on screen as it used to, and sometimes the phone either freezes or automatically reboots . Does this occur to anyone? What could be the source of the problem, the ROM or the kernel?
Another question is that, if I upgrade my ROM from Bionix-V 1.2.1 to 1.3.1, would I be able to retrieve the login information such as passwords for accounts such as Gmail (presumably from the Titanium backup)?
Thanks in advance.
I recommend flashing the new Bionix. I never have a problem with my camera. In the camera setting go under review and check off and put it onto on. That will give you a review of each pic you take. As long as you download it right and flash it right, don’t disable voodoo, there shouldn't be any problems. As far as TB only restore apps plus data. Don't restore system apps cause it will mess with your system. It will not save your passwords but as soon as you flash it just go into accounts and sync and put your info in and you should be good to go. If you want a theme I highly recommend Scarlet Leftovers with Flip animations. It makes your Vibrant look badass.

I just checked: Review has been ON all the time. So for unknown reason something is not working correctly with the camera.

I think it is the overstock kernel. I had problems with the camera when Bionix v 1.3.1 was first released because Sombionix included the overstock kernel with it. He has since changed it back to KB1, which I reflashed and have had no problems at all. Just my thoughts. Good luck.
Daily Briefing lost!
I have tried upgrading to both Gingerbread and TouchWiz editions of Bionix-V 1.3.1, but I can't find Daily Briefing any more!
1) Is it because I forgot to back up my previous launcher?
2) Does Daily Briefing only work with TouchWiz? Or it also works with others like Launcher Pro?
3) Where can I retrieve Daily Briefing?
Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem, I am only using the Bionix-V 1.3.1, no overstock. I just checked their website and downloaded the Samsung Widgets that you have to download if you want to have the widgets. You also must use the touchwiz version.
But I looked into the zip file and I didn't see the Daily briefing, no wonder why we don't have it. It kinda sucks I think that and program monitor were the only useful widgets by Samsung.
Edit: I found out that the app is called infoalarm.apk and I tried to install one version but it didn't install.
If you are not on the touchwiz version you can download the touchwiz launcher from sgs tools then pull any of the Samsung apps from an older rom and place them in the system/app folder on your phone using root explorer.

Thanks for the suggestion! I followed your instruction, installed TouchWiz Launcher, put InfoAlarm.apk and InfoAlarm.odex under /system/app/, then went in the directory with Root Explore and tried to install it, but the installation still failed. Did I do something wrong?
Being that they are system apps you just use root explorer to move them to the system/app folder. You do not need to install them. Just make sure you have it set to read write. Once they have been moved to the system/app folder just reboot and the widgets should work. Also make sure you pulled the apps from a deodex rom.

Thanks again for the help! I have the files like this, but it still doesn't work:

I tried to change them to
-rw-r--r-- root root
but could not do it because of a complaint: Unable to chmod InfoAlarm.apk: Read-only file system
You need to use a deodex not the odex apk file. You can download it here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A5TSE252
Also try using Root Explorer or su file manager from the market. They may cost a couple of bucks but are very handy apps to have.
I just now did it using the apk file I uploaded and it worked for me.

After struggling in pushing the file to /system/app/ with adb for quite a while, finally I made it work! I really love Daily Briefing, and I'm so happy to see it back! It seems working under Launcher Pro too. HUGE thanks to you, dude! Really appreciate your kindness...
Just have had my first smartphone for a month now, and have learned/achieved the following: rooted, flashing ROMs and kernels, unlocked, etc. Not bad, I guess.
Glad you got it to work and glad you are enjoying the Vibrant... I love this phone and I am still learning new stuff every day. lol
Hey everyone, joined xda today in hopes of finding a resolution to a problem I've been having. I'm running cm7.0.3.1 and for some reason, I can't download any files using the browser. I've tried a few different types of files to no avail. I get either a .htm file or it simply says "download unsuccessful" in download manager. Clearing caches didn't help nor did opera mobile. The market still works fine and so do any in-app downloads. What could the cause be? Any help would be appreciated...
Try firefox, it's download manager is different then the others.
Do a quick reboot. That happens to me every so often, that normally fixes it.
Firefox didn't work either, download started but wouldn't actually download, even on wifi. I rebooted a few times, after Mozilla installed, and after clearing caches. I'll keep searchin' and tryin' though
odd..I don't have a clue..try tehs suggestion or reflash cm..odd really odd. Never had a problem..
install a better Rom..lol
Try downloading astro file manager. After download go into app and click menu then more then preferences. Go all the way to bottom and there is a check box that says enable browser downloader. Try that and see if it helps you. Before when I had a similar problem this fixed it.
Edit...I am also running cm7.
