I updated my n7 to 4.3 on Thursday and everything was great. I'd had the 4.2.1 aosp browser installed, but tried to install an updated 4.3 browser. It would force close. when I uninstalled the update the 4.2.1 browser which previously worked, will only force close.
I've tried flashable .zip installations, I've tried pushing the apps to system/apps, setting permissions, and rebooting. I've tried just installing the app. none of these work.
I have browserproviderproxy.apk and .odex renamed to .bak.
please, any help is appreciated.
Try aosp browser installer from the market. Worked for me on 4.3.

I renamed the Browser.apk (asop from N4 I think) by adding a .bak extension on it before flashing the 4.3 update. Also renamed the browserproviderproxy files back to .apk and .odex. After completing the update, I renamed things back, rebooted, asop browser working great, just like before.

I just got the JI6 update via kies mini, and I rerooted, put clockwork back on the phone, and now i'm trying to delete the bloatware again
the weird thing is, when I use rootexplorer like i did before, i'd delete the .apk and .odex files, nothing happens. When i go back to the homepage and navigate back to the system/app directory, all the ones i deleted reappear!
what's happening?
Reroot?

The older version of root explorer doesnt work with ji6 you need to download 2.12 (newer version) and it works fine.

I'm having the same issue..
got J16 update via kies and can't delete bloatwares even with root explorer 2.12...
please help!!
I had the same problem. For me the files were more hidden. I deleted the ones I found in the directory folder several times and it didn't work. I had to go deep into the files to find the correct folder. I don't remember exactly, but it was something like system/data/data. just search through all of the folders until you find one that is only apk and .odex files and delete the ones you don't want from there.....it worked for me.
I accidentally deleted the Gingerbread (.605) music player yesterday. I did the libjumper.so trick to put the Honeycomb 3.0 player on there and I accidentally overwrote the music.apk for gingerbread without making a copy. I supposedly found a copy if the apk and odex, but when I tried to install it....nothing showed up in the menu. I used root explorer to copy the apk and odex to system/app and I changed the permissions to rw-r-r then I rebooted the phone. That always seems to work when restoring system apps in the past but it isn't working this time. What am I doing wrong? And if I have the wrong apk and odex does anyone else have a link to the correct ones?

No idea what you might be doing incorrectly, but here...
http://www.chadhaney.com/droidXDefault/4.5.602/
When I clicked on that link I scrolled down to the music apk and odex. I clicked on them and it had a message on the page that they were downloading, but they weren't actually downloading. There was no download indicator at the top. Do you have another link?

I've tried every way I know of to try and swap the stock browser on MDL with the stock browser from MJ6 or MJ9. I can't get either to work...
Has anyone made this work? its such an improvement...
Have you tried pasting the apk to the /system/app folder, fixing permissions, installing then rebooting?

I'm on an odexed stock ROM, but yes. I've tried the browser apk and odex file, just the apk file, and even the popup apk and odex files. can't get any combination of them to work.
it installs, shows up in my app drawer but crashes on launch.
Hi. I accidentally deleted my stock gallery app so I re-downloaded it (from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449815) to try to install it again. Apparently I can't just re-install it because it's a system app so it keeps telling me that it's not installed. I tried a file manager to move the apk file into the system/app folder and changed the permission to rw--r--r--. I restart after that and now I can find the gallery app installed on my phone, but it crashes right away every time I try to open it ("Gallery has stopped working"). It also doesn't work whenever I go into camera and tap on the photo browser box because it also says gallery stopped working.
I'm on Kitkat right now with root access and I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong. Please help!

First, are you on NC2 leak or NC4 OTA? I'm not sure if it matters with a gallery apk but you never know.
If you're on NC2 leak go to Beans thread here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52088473&postcount=1
If you're on NC4 go here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53508270&postcount=1
1) Next, I'd download the rom for whatever you're on NC2 or NC4.
2) Extract rom zip with 7zip or Winrar or whatever your zip extraction program is.
3) Look for the secgallery.apk and pull the apk from the folder and transfer to your phone on your sd card.
4) Once on your sd card use your file explorer with root access. I prefer Root Explorer, if you don't have it it's worth buying to me.
5) Push the secgallery apk to system/priv-app and set permissions to rw-r--r--, then reboot and see if that helps.
6) If you still have problems try going to settings>application manager>all>then look for gallery and clear cache and see if that works
I don't know if you should use the apk you got from that link you posted as I don't know if it's been altered or not. It might be as easy as you putting that secgallery apk you have already in system/priv-app instead of system/app but let's be on the safe side. That's why I said download Beans stock rooted roms.
Hopefully this works for you.
EDIT: After going through both roms I have on my pc it appears the gallery is the same so I pulled it and uploaded here for you : http://d-h.st/9TK Let me know once you have it so I can take it down.

Oh my goodness, you're a life safer! It finally worked after spending many hours trying to figure out what was wrong. I guess it's because I use the wrong apk and also because I put it in the wrong folder in the system root. After I downloaded the apk you provided, I moved the file to system/priv-app and changed the permission. After rebooting, gallery is now working perfectly fine again instead of crashing.
Thank you so much for your help! I really couldn't have figured this out on my own without your information!

Hey, folks!!
Most of us moved to Lollipop and keep seeing many bugs and some of the Apps missing like for eg. Gallery.
Searches end me with Gallery Apps which weren't fully working. Desperated and frustrated me, finally did find one working app and thought of sharing it with others who would really be interested.
You can flash the App via Custom Recovery or can do it manually by moving the desired folder using a file manager, like Total Commander (this is what am using). Many are available based on your interest. Remember to extract the zip and move the folders to another location and then place in the respective places.
Editing Images is possible with this App if you correctly place the lib file at /system/lib
I myself have tried only the KK Gallery on N4 & N5 which is working flawlessly

PS: If this is outta XDA Rules then Mods can remove the thread.
Folks, am just sharing so everyone can make use of what is required.
I want to use the motorola gallery. It looks nice. But what lib file should I place in /system/lib? It isn't in the flashable zip...

Motorola Gallery may not have the lib file. Haven't checked it but did the KK Gallery. Editing is supported only in KK Gallery according to the post
So I tried the flashablr zip, but after installinh nothing changed? No gallery app popped up. I looked in the /system/app/ folder and I found the .apk l. Do you know how I can fix this?

Which one did you try? Have checked KK Gallery on N4 & N5 and its working without any flaws. On N4, used the Flashable zip and on N5, i installed manually (both running Lollipo 5.0.1)

I thought that you installed the app from the link have provided. Try that and let me know. Just to clarify, are you rooted?

Yes I am on stock 5.0.1. Rooted it and installed TWRP. Tried that zip and several others but none of them worked. Also created a flashable zip myself. But that didnt work either...
By flashing it, the app comes in the /system/app folder but doen't appaer in the app drawer and trying to copy it manually ends up in an error (see attachments).
I guess I will be re-flashing factory images and see if it works after that.

Dude, why don't you try installing it? I tried the KK Gallery as such (open & install) and it works well
