I have Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo installed 2.6.32.9. Issues I'm having is bookmarks can't be deleted (saw thread but unable to access /dbdata/ to install fix- have a root manager) , bloatware cannot be removed (uninstall not successful), samsung keypad available but not android keypad option.
delete bookmark workaround:
go to bookmarks > click the bookmark you want to delete > let it load on the browser > hit bookmarks again > history > tap the star > removed
use titanium backup to delete bloat.
you can also delete bookmarks on skyfire and then go back to the normal browser
Issues
Titanium was the key, ty. I pulled a noob and deleted bookmarks from titanium.....which deleted my browser- idiot. I had tried unstarring but it was never starred to begin with, therfore wasn't deleted.

To verify URL search ...
Enter search terms for the URL .... verify it goes to Google to search
To verify Bookmark deletion ...
Launch the browser
Click on the bookmark icon
Long press on VZW bookmark
Scroll and select "Delete bookmark" ... verify that you get a message that Bookmark <name> will be deleted.
Click OK

Works!
Confirmed working google search. gj.
If anyone wants the browser setting to pick the default search engine to work... I think it's a different question... But I'm glad I have google again.
I decompiled the DL30 browser apk earlier this morning... And find that the code to force bing was much easier to find than earlier versions. Looks like you took out the default bookmarks, and changed the search string? Anything else out of my curiosity.
The code also wouldn't allow deleting two existing Verizon bookmarks.
If the bookmark was named "VZW Home" or "My Verizon" or the URL was "http://converge.vzwwap.com/" or "https://mobile.vzw.com/sspostmw/forms/myacc.jsp" it wouldn't allow deletion.

...Now with Chrome Icon
This is the same de-binged browser with the Chrome Icon
Thanks for the post.
Hmmm... Can't seem to get it to work. Copied the original to sdcard for backup then using root explorer deleted original and copied debinged to system/app and rebooted and cleaned dalvik but still uses bing and can't delete bookmarks.

Try clearing the application data. settings -> applications -> manage applications.
This will also clear any bookmarks/history you have.

Ok so I can't get it to work at all. Followed OP to a tee and the original Browser.apk says it is deleted in root explorer but when I copy the debinged named as Browser.apk it reverts back to the original no matter what... Stumped on this one...

Thanks for this. But I always find it easier to push files or make a cwm zip (root explorer is not the most reliable). But flash the below file via cwm no wipe is needed plus your existing bookmarks will remain and I was able to delete those vzw links right away. It sucked to have a scrollable widget and seeing the vzw **** there.
@OP update your first post/title with this.
good day.
Thanks Chopper the CWM flash worked perfectly. Url search goes straight to Google and bookmarks deleted. One issue I did notice was even with Google set as homepage and all data history etc cleared when reopening the browser it opens to Google but if you hit the back key it goes to that converge.vzw site even with history and data cleared and bookmark deleted any idea?

What is the exact full URL you see ?
-Doug
@doug it was the vzw homepage but I was able to just randomly eliminating it by clearing data and cache a fourth time. Didn't do anything different or additional and it works perfect now... go figure

Hey Guys I got my G tablet a few days ago installed Vegan and everything is great market seems to work.
But the problem is I cant see a bunch of apps for example Facebook and Evernote.
When I go online and try to install from market. android. com it says my device is incompatible.
Did I do something wrong?
I have the same problem, there are a few apps that don't show up in the market. I'm also running vegan.
Fixed it! I'm sorry I can't point you to the source of this fix, I lost the forum, but here it is from memory:
goto settings -> manage applications
-> Marketplace -> Clear Cache -> Force close (DO NOT CLEAR DATA)
->Google services framework -> Clear data
Launch marketplace and you will get an error
REBOOT and wait for wifi to reconnect
If you get an error, keep try it a few times
Now I can install facebook, dolphin browser, etc...

After flashing to TNT Lite 4.20 I now have to clear an error message every time I boot my G Tab. It says "Sorry! The application Google Partner Setup (process.com.google..android.partnership) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
A Force Close is required to clear it, or else it messes with email (and maybe other stuff).
Questions:
- I've located this in /system/app using iFileManager and it's an apk file ... can it be safely deleted?
- How do I delete it? I'm not familiar with iFilemanager, and don't see a "delete" option. Can I delete it with CWD or Titanium Backup?
Thanks!

I know this has come up before, but all I find is other people asking my same question:
Can I safely delete the Google Partner Setup apk from my system/app folder?
It's not loading (requires a FC for the tablet to boot), but I'm still reluctant to remove anything from the system directory in case it's required somehow.
Help???

Google Partner Setup is used (at least) by the browser. You could try disabling it using Autorun Manager from Market instead of deleting the .apk file. Be warned that doing so on my system caused the browser to exit without warnings on quite few sites--those that have Google Ads are esp. problemmatic.
My advice is to first go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > select "All", find "Google Partner Setup" and then "Clear data". If that doesn't work, get into ClockworkMod and there do a "wipe data/factory reset" (and also possibly a "wipe cache partition").
Thanks Raj. I'll give it a try.

Doh!
Accidentally used Titanium to restore bookmarks (from Froyo) onto CM7 and now when I launch the browser it FCs immediately.
Q: How do I fix this?
Remove that file? If so, how do I find bookmarks? Can I just reinstall the browser.apk?
Thanks!

Hello,
I don't want to sync anything with Google or Samsung. I have a galaxy note.
I don't have sync enabled but I see a Samsung account folder in the Android browser favourites. There is nothing inside, but how can I remove this folder?
I already uninstalled the Google and Samsung sync applications with titanium backup but the folder is still there.
Regards,
Stevie
I found the solution myself. The same hint how to remove favorites which can't be deleted worked for the folder too.
I deleted the data of the browser. Then all favorites are deleted and when I restart the browser Google tries to connect and place it's folder with favorites. This can be aborted with the back key. Then there shouldn't be a Google folder.
