[Q] Stock browser - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
does someone knows where I can find the stock android Browser ? (not Chrome)
The one that is on most phones.
I tried to install the browser.apk from a ROM 2.3.6 of LG P920. But It won't install.
I'm on stock 4.2.2 no root

I found this thread with a quick search (which you should have done before posting). Try installing the .apk with a root explorer as suggested by the OP.
EDIT: Ironically I was the one who didn't read your post properly, sorry. Since you don't have root the above won't work.

Doesn't work. I can install, but It force close at launch.

I think It will be one reason to flash another ROM...

Am having the same problem also..
When the tab tries to update samsung apps it downloads new versions of the samsungapps.apk and the samsungapps.una.apk to /data/apps folder. Both apps install manually but on launch samsung apps still wants to upodate the una.apk.
I assume its a r/w rights issue with the modaco rom but have so far failed in my attempts to sort it...
Hope someone has the answer to this!
Its your csc code.
i suggest you to not update samsung store, the new one is a mess... it says updates in all apps even if you don't have installed ones and the new layout is crap too.
Same problem here... :-(

Read this in a other thread on XDA. Did what it said and now i can update and have access to the new layout off samsung apps. I also have modacos rom and used root explorer to delete the file.

If you want to update SamsungApps on modaco - just delete /system/app/UNAService.apk (don't forget to make a backup of this file)

Thanks for the guidance - I can now open Samsung Apps. And understand what the other posts mean!
Terrible interface, and most of the apps are not worth having.

This didnt work for me previously but tried it again and it worked! (i also put in my active sim rather than a dummy one.)

Remove the superuser.apk from system/app and su from system/xbin
before you install the zip.

can't install FLASH on 4.1.1 ?

Just bought our 2 nexus 7 tablets today....We want to root them but haven't yet. I was trying to update the FLASH to the latest as one of my websites and one game wanted me to do that. I was taken to the google paly and there was a message that the lastest FLASH can NOT be installed on this device and I read that it is NOT support for OS over Ice Cream 4.0? Can some one tell me what I can do? Do I have to root to do this?
Thanks

No, you don't have to root to install flash. You have to download the apk and install it, that's all.

I did root my nexus 7 and I did install flash by sideloading...but I get a blue box sometimes and other times I get the message that I need to upgrade flash...I used Dolphin HD browser on the nextus and chrome and the same thing happens in both.
Somewhere I read something about renaming two files...don't remember where I read that or what two file. I do know I didn't do it because 1. I wasn't able at the time to find the files 2. it didn't say what to rename them????
Any suggestions on what I have to do...my nexus 7 is now updated to 4.1.2
Thanks
Tried this doesn't work either...

Can I use the cm10.1 message apk on a stock rooted Nexus 4?

I want to keep my Nexus stock but I really like the text message app from cm. Is there a way to use that one instead of the stock message app? I'm assuming I just have to remove the stock app and then replace it with the cm one right?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Yup. Replace and set permissions. Reboot
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Replace it in root explorer.
Yes, just use any file manager with root access and replace it and then give correct permission (rwx-r--r-- I believe)
Also I highly advise you to make a copy of the stock app and place it somewhere in the phone, just in case.
ALSO if you're odexed, this might now work as it also needs odex file and if you are odexed and replaced the app, you might get into the bootloop I think. Never tried it on odexed ROMs, but I think that's what happens

I'm using stock. I'm not sure if stock is odexed. How do I get the app? Do I just unzip a cm update zip?

Did you do flash any ROM? If not, you have odexed ROM. Make sure to make a nandroid backup before doing this as I believe you might get into the bootloop.
You can easily get the app by doing that.

All ive done with the phone is unlock the bootloader and root it. So your saying that I should install a CWM and do a nandroid? Won't installing that wipe my phone?

No. Before you screw with anything in system, make a backup. If you break something, a simple restore will fix it.
The cm message app is system/app/messaging.apk. Extract it from the cm zip and follow the directions above to install it.

You won't go into a boot loop, only thing that will happen is either the Mms.apk won't show up in the launcher or it'll FC. Sometimes, using the newest one from nightlies will cause FC. One has been posted in the apps section that works and has what you're looking for. Its better to use any root explorer app and copy it to /system/apps and fix permissions. And like someone said, make a copy of your original Mms.apk and Mms.odex files to your phone..
Sent from my Nexus 4
If you're just stock rooted, you'll have to go in and re-install the messaging app after every reboot because the stock uses the .odex files to create the mms app, but there is a stock, deodexed, rooted ROM here, and you can just load the CM10.1 MMS into it and it'll work fine. That's what I did
Or you could check out Glowfly on the play store.
It's a pop-up notification app with quick reply support.
Made the same recommendation in a similar thread in the Themes and Apps section. I'm not affiliated with the devs. Just wanted to show support for a good app.
anyone know if this app changes the orienation of your photos from landscape to portrait? This seemed to be a bug on all roms using this apk on my old Galaxy s2.

I was able to sideload a copy of the APK from my Nexus 7. But it really doesn't seem to like Jelly Bean. I'm running stock rooted 4.2.2 on both devices and there are all sorts of bugs with typing and keyboard entry.

Yeah I've found a few different .apk of scrabble online , and was even able to install them , but the results were not too pleasant.
It was like the same screen but much smaller times 8 all over my screen.
Just wondering if it even runs on stock ROM without root
