Hello.
I flashed PandroidAndroid rom and I wanted to ask if it is possible to delete Android Browser and use Chrome Browser as a system browser.

Yes. Just install chrome and it'll ask if you want it to be default. Or you can delete Browser.apk from system/app.
Go to settings > apps then choose the android browser. Scroll down and press clear defaults.
Next time you open a link or anything else that redirects to a browser chose chrome and press always.

I wonder why you'd want to do that, but yes.
You can either just set chrome as default browser or delete the AOSP one completely.
When you open a link, you should be prompted with a selection of all installed browsers. Just choose the one you like.
Still, I'd recommend against chrome due to performance and privacy concerns.
Thank you all.
I want the Google Chrome to be undeleteable like the system apps(Google Maps for example).

You can use titanium backup pro to both uninstall the Android Browser and convert chrome to a system app.

Note that whenever you update your ROM the AOSP browser will be reinstalled again so you'll have to repeat the process.

Here's what you do:
Settings>Apps> All Apps>Find Chrome and click on it> Scroll Down and Click *Clear Defaults*
You should be good to go now.

Ever since I've had the n4 I've been having trouble downloading anything from dropbox using anyone's public link. I've tried several browsers. All ways the same. I always get a lock symbol in the browser. I've even deleted dropbox, still the same

The lock symbol means the connection to the site is secure. It has nothing to do with the issue you are having. Try to add the file to your drop box and download it from there.

My problem is that when I hit download on the browser it won't do anything

What ROM are you using? Go to settings advanced in your browser and see if you have a option to change user agent if you do change it to desktop close the browser and try it

Yeah that was the ticket. Don't know why, but I've never had that problem on dolphin. I think maybe adobe flash maybe was the culprit.?? Thanks. Oh and rassaber

While in the Facebook app I mistakenly selected a browser to ALWAYS open a YouTube link. I don't want it set that way and how can I remove that it is set this way? I am rooted by the way.
Settings, apps, browser, clear defaults should do it.

I pushed over the apk file from a Toro ROM, set permissions and rebooted. The keyboard works except when you use gestures. It crashes and the keyboard restarts. Anybody know how to fix this? I've tried clearing the app data and it did not help.
There is a stock aosp keyboard in the market just install and ur done

I have been using that for the time being, but it's missing the long press for symbols and punctuation that I like.
Didnt realize that

Hey all. Until recently every time i tried to view a video using the Facebook app i would get a pop-up menu, from Es file manager app i think, which gave me the option to download it or view it with mxplayer or with the native viewer etc. It also had two options to use this choice once or all time. For some time now this menu hasn't been appearing at all. Any idea how to restore it please? I run rastakat 4.4.2. Thanks

You can go into the said apps defaults then change them. For example settings / apps / scroll to mx player then clear the defaults at the bottom of the page. I think this is what you mean.
