I ran into this problem too running the Sprint based Fresh rom. While Jcase's Market Fix will fix the problem with missing protected apps, it wont fix the missing Verizon apps.
To do that, I used Root Explorer on my phone and opened the "build.prop" file located in the System folder. Open the file in the included text editor and scroll down to until you see this line:
"ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric"
The correct value for the line should be "310012". Sprint roms will have the value as "310120".
Save the changes and exit. After reboot, check your Market. The right-most tab on the main page will read "Verizon" now instead of "Downloads".
Or flash this handy zip from recovery.

I know this is probably elementary, but is there a step by step post anywhere for flashing a zip file?
I just rooted last night and put the first custom ROM on my phone. This is uncharted territory for me. Everything is great so far except for these missing apps.
I tried the root explorer method, but it would only let me read the text, not edit.
EDIT: Ignore this post. GREAT SUCCESS!! Too easy.

Thank you.
I was doing it the hard way - download the app in a HTC/VZW Rom, copy them to SD, restore the Sprint ROM (Aloysius V12) and install.
Looking at them now in the Market.

I remember uninstalling Video from TiTanium Backup...I think i have f..ed up my stock video player! ;/
After applying the files in the system/app... the purple icon of video appears in my menu... I open it and when I click on the videos, as I have told you before it says that Unfortunately, Video has stopped. Also if I want to go the the Settings of the app it says "Unable to retrieve information from the store main. Please try again."

Is there no way to get system/app to r/w? Been trying every app and terminal command to let me remount so I can reinstall my backup of the messaging apk and it just doesn't work.
I use Root Explorer and have had no problem using"Mount R/W" in system/app.

Bleh. Copied to system/app, still get application not installed. Reboot with it in there and it doesn't show up either. At a loss here.

Yep, they're set correctly
Now it's giving me the option to update or new install this system app. Problem is I don't see an already installed version obviously.
try downloading a custom rom for your cellphone, just for extracting the messaging app

As all of us vzw g2 owners know, verizon left out the browser app in favor of chrome. But they didnt enable qslide with chrome. We do have the stock browser in a flashable zip but it doesn't show up in qslide. Untill now lol. I take no credit for this i just figured it out through trial and error. Ok first flash the stock browser zip from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2452399 then copy this browser apk https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0lbyXDReetfdmg2Zm8tU0dRd1k/edit?usp=sharing to system and reboot, bingo stock lg browser in qslide. Don't forget to hit thanks if this helps you out.
Great! Although the icon works fine for me. What I'd like to see is Mobile hotspot in quick settings...

Where in the System do we put the apk? Also do we have to rename the apk?
Put the apk in system/app. I renamed it to browser.apk just for my own convenience. You don't have to though.
To the o.p., thanks this worked perfectly.

Honestly I am pretty sure you don't have to flash the browser zip before putting the apk in the system/app folder. Just rename the apk you provided to LGBrowser.apk and put it in system/app, also changing the permissions to match the other system apps. The zip is simply flashing the same file without the qslide properties that are built into the apk you have linked to. For some reason those properties were not included in the zip scott posted for the LG browser. Great find overall! Just wanted to clarify that people dont need to flash the zip... just use the apk you provided named correctly with the correct permissions in the system/app folder and reboot. Sweetness!!!

Not my experience. I tried pushing & renaming just the apk when Scott first posted it. Fixed permissions, reboot & the icon didn't even show up. Booted back into twrp to wipe cache/dalvik & fix permissions from there & when I rebooted the icon was present but gave an immediate FC when selected. I gave up on it & grabbed the aosp browser from the play store.
This has been the only way I could get the stock lg browser to work at all. Having it in qslide is just icing on the cake.

The key to your statements is you were using Scott's apk which is not this apk posted. Compare the apk in Scott's zip to this one. I am talking about pushing this apk into the system without flashing Scott's zip. But if you needed Scott's zip flashed first and then pushing this apk I suppose there must be something going on in the background I'm not aware of. In my experience they are different apks. Scott's zip flashes the first browser version into system/app folder and then all we are doing is then pushing this second version apk and overwriting it. So basically the first step is unnecessary imho. But whatever works thanks to the op for this other apk.

I tried just pushing the apk to system/app and rebooting and it didn't work for me that's why I said to do it the way I have it in the op. If it works for people with out the initial flash great, but if anyone gets force closes after just pushing the apk try flashing the zip 1st

Okay figured it out. I am running clean rom and idk if the scotts rom one works with this one or not. SO...I just took the LGBrowser apk from the op and dropped it in the system/app folder. That worked like a charm...and Now all browsers working and qslide etc. I would suggest a nandroid which is why I fixed mine also rename the LGBrowser.apk in the system/app folder to LGBroswer.bak or something before replacing it with the one in the op so if it gets jacked you can back it up. Anyways good luck to you all and thanks op.

Ok so i did alittle googling and as far as i can tell i could be a problem with the site or your network especially if its a guest network. But one of the fizes seems to be clearing browser cache, cookies and history (id clear data in the app manager too for good measure) if that doesn't work google the first few words of the error cuz there were a ton of entries and one should have a fix that works for u. Either way i really dont see why just installin an apk would cause that so you may have some deeper issues with the network where your at?

The att version doesnt have the stock browser either? I assumed it did. But yea It should, there is nothing device specific in the apk but i didnt put the zip together so the updater script might have a version check, but try it n let me no. The absolute worst case scenario is forced closes
Awesome dude. Confirmed it worked!
Manually copy apk over and change permissions to match other files, then flash the LGBrowser.zip. Then it shows up in QSlide apps and floats. So nice.
I've been missing this since I got my G2. I watched a video and seen the floating browser and QuickNotes. Ran and picked up my Verizon phone and found they removed the browser.

editk so new issue. i tried to delete or remove anything that had to do with the lgbrowser in the system app and now it is in the qslide app but it opens up in the full app.. hmmm
