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?

Hello there.
I recived a brand new ViewPad 7e (the lowcost tab from ViewSonic) yesterday. Everything works fine (or, almost fine for that price...), but the 7e come without AndroidMarkets (nor Gmail apps, Google Account etc...). It's possible to use alternat market, but I'm looking to use the original one (and, most important, to set up a google account synchronysed with calendar) anyone got an idea to install that ? (I tried some trick for Archos etc... but nothing seems to work atm).
If somone got an idea... thanks in advance
My guess would be that it's missing the gapps framework, you can try installing the architecture independant gapps package from CM7, which "should" work.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps
Well, it worked by installing the gapps manually, the last point will be to put the market 3.1.3 or so (for the moment I only have th old one), thx again for your help.
Where can I find how to install gapps manually
you said it's possible, where can I find the steps to install it manually?
Thanks

Hi, I also get a Viewpad 7e, and download the Google Apps from CM7
But I could not install in manually after I unpack the Google Apps package.
System will say it is an invalid APK.
Could you help to release the package you install and installing steps?
Thanks.

Guys, cm7 market would not work for our devices as it doesnot meet the criteria for having google market. Yes is ironic but for now we have to rely on the market we have. We have to wait till someone make cm7 work forr our viewpad.
there's a way but i need to translate it because its in chinese i got it it on mine
charlies1112, if you can, it would be really nice to explain how you did it.
Yesterday, I was able to root the viewpad 7e using Gingerbreak v1.20.

dl.dropbox.com/u/34743606/v7e.zip doesnt work for me
I've searched all over the i777 threads to find the answer but didn't, so here goes my question.
A couple of days ago I rooted my i777 and installed UnNamed 2.2.1. Love the ROM! This morning, I got a pop up about Swype, it wouldn't work anymore and to go to beta.swype.com for more information.
Of course I couldn't uninstall Swype and couldn't install the new beta, so I'm stuck without Swype, and that sucks!
How do I get Swype back?
uninstall swype with some sort of file explorer or ti backup. redownload swype beta installer apk, follow instructions....
TA DA you have swype beta again, at least thats how it always worked for me
I'm a bit of a noob so have no idea how to go about uninstalling Swype using a method other than normal...
I had the same issue. Thanks for posting the question and answer!

we all start somewhere, TiBu is useful, comes as a free version to test it out, i believe it lets you uninstall system files in the free version. otherwise some are known to use (file explorer es)??? i think thats it. any program that lets you get to the system files.
system->apps->scroll around till you find the swype file and delete

This worked perfectly for me. Thank you so much! Life is much better now that Swype is back.
I'm having the same problem, however, when I try and register on the swype site using dolphin and web the checkbox for terms and agreements isn't showing up so I can't get the email to download the installer. Are there any workarounds or alternate means of getting the installer?
*edit* I was able to get the swype installer, but I still can't register with the site to login and run their program.
*update* I'm not sure what I did wrong the first time, but I tried the other method in the post and it worked; after I flashed to an older rom and back. For whatever reason out kept force closing on me the first time.

Thanks! This worked for me too. I actually used the Swype beta installer since I had previously signed up anyway.
Just curious: Anyone know why this happened now? And whether this only happened to the UnNamed ROM or others?
I believe it happened to all roms with Swype pre installed on them. Since unnamed is based off of a stock model, that's why it was affected.

This all worked perfectly on my Viewpad 7e with one small issue when copying the 3 .apk files to the /system/app folder, make sure they are not a 0kb size. If they are just recopy them over and overwrite the files and it should copy correctly with a valid size.
The market wont have allot of apps since the device doesn't support the market natively, so I did a few tricks to get most of my apps on to the Viewpad 7e. You will need to have access to a second Android devices to do the following.
1) Install File Expert (free in the market) on your second Android device
2) Open File Expert and go to My Apps and select the apps you want to install on your Viewpad 7e, then click Backup on the bottom menu. This will creat the .apk files to install on your Viewpad 7e and put them on your SD card.
3) Copy the .apk files from SD card to your Viewpad 7e
4) Open a file manager on your Viewpad 7e and install your apps.
Most apps will work ok but some will bug out and you might be forced to reboot the viewpad 7e (press and hold the power button until it powers off)
If you use Titanium Backups it will install and allow you to restore apps and data, but be warred this will not work 100% so only use it to restore the data not the apps.
Note: If your app was installed on your SD card when your backup was done when you restore the data it will make the app unlaunchable. This should be fine if you move the app to SD card before restoring the data.
Here is a list of my working apps on my Viewpad 7e
aLogcat
androidVNC
Angry Birds (all 3)
Blogger
Chrome to phone
Coin Dozer
Google Docs
Documents To Go
Facebook and Messenger
File Expert
Gmail

Hey,
at first thx for the great HOWTO. Everything worked fine for me. The only thing that also bothers me is the memory problem as often mentioned before.
Perhaps its good to know that I'm from Germany and have a branded Device from strato . But before I began with your instructions I installed the official update FV70_VSEI_S_W_C_11252011 so everything should normally worked.
The only thing that makes me curious is that the widget of the apps that were preinstalled by strato are still there. Is there a possibilty that you have to clear the dalvik oder whatsoever cache before the market works without memory problems?
Go to the link, update to 28112011 file. Root it and instal
The market. I have no problems downloading apps from google play but if you see apps that are writtem not compatible, you have to download from one mobile market

The probleme is not that there is no space on device, but that there is no space in "/cache"
The easy workaround is copying /cache/recovery elsewhere on your SDcard or device (to back it up) and deleting it from /cache/
After that everything work fine ...
NB : If you want to restore factory settings, don't forget ... recopy the recovery directory in /cache
It won't brick because there's bootloader that let you reboot with actual settings or loading an update.
NB2 : I haven't had time for now but there's a 2GB unused partition... let's see ...
Ot;
I followed every Point and was able to move the Cache link to sd-Card.
My question goes to the developers. Is there any work on custom Rom eG bootloader or Even cm Mod?i tried to theme it but with no succsess.
Please dev's. Dont forget us viewpad 7e Users.
Since ViewSonic has no clue what adb is I gave this tablet to my kid since that's what this tablet is "A TOY". I will no longer be dealing with this tablet or company and have purchased a ASUS TF300T and will start developing for that tablet.
I was wondering if anyone has installed Viper4Android on this device. I had it on my previous phone and it worked flawlessly; all my music sounded amazing.
But ever since we achieved root, I couldn't successfully install it. It keeps telling me Busybox is broken or not installed, and therefore won't let me install the audio drivers.
Can anyone try installing it, if they can? My favorite band just released a new album and I'd love to hear it with a good equalizer.

I've tried many Busybox versions, including stericson and it still won't work. Maybe the OS has something to do with it, if it works on KitKat and not Jelly Bean?
I failed to as well. I even tried the zip install.

I tried everything today: manual Viper installation, different Busybox versions, etc., still doesn't work.
Maybe the KitKat update will make it possible. That is, if we ever get a KitKat update... I may not use a Huawei phone again if we don't get updates. There's already been so many issues (for me at least) with Emotion being so extensively modified from regular Android. And we don't have any developers at all. I'll probably go Nexus next time.

I am using it now flawlessly. The driver cannot be installed automatically but you can manage to use the flashable zip file to install it manually.
First uninstall the app and backup your build.prop.
Download the flashable zip file here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/discussion-viper4android-t2543796
Reboot to your TWRP and flash the zip file and reboot. The zip file would install the apk file in /system/priv-app which is actually not recognized by the Huawei system. So please manually move the apk file to /system/app or /data/app , or just install it and remove whatever file left in /system/priv-app
And then start the app you should be able to install the driver. Actually the driver has been installed after you flashed the zip file.
Since it will modify your build.prop, so please make a backup. And in my case it broke my build.prop so I had to modify the file manually. There is an example in the link above. Please append the followings at the end of your build.prop.
Code:
##Viper4android
lpa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=false
lpa.releaselock=false
OK. Reboot and you are all set.
Again, if you encounter soft brick and the system ui fails to appear, high chances that V4a broke or deleted your build.prop. Make sure you make a back up of that file first.

Do you have this working on the US version MT2L03? And can V4A be used to boost the handset (earpiece) volume?
Thanks,

Yes and yes. I am using the US version MT2L03 and it can be used to boost my earbud volume.
Sweet, I thought you had the non-US version at first. I'll install TWRP soon, try this and report back!
I managed to install it...but I dont know which settings will let me do this.
I want to increase the volume of the phone when using it as a phone held up to my ear without affecting battery drain. There are too many options. The FAQ links to a site to explain the settings but that site is down. Help?
Update: never mind I uninstalled viper4android (reverted to backup actually). It barely increased the volume but it would crash my phone when connecting to Bluetooth despite it being disabled for bluetooth.
Works great but shuts down when the screen sleeps. No option in the apps list to keep it running.

There was the option to mark it as a protected app for me but that's because i installed it to /data/app by copying it there. Did you install it to /system/app maybe?
I found it too buggy to keep though so I dont use it now.

No I pushed it to data/app. No protect option for me
Aw, I forgot to install TWRP and try Viper over the weekend. I don't want to risk messing up my phone during the week, leaving me phone-less!

In the Viper settings, you can set "Show notification", so the system won't kill the app when the screen is off. If that's not enough, what I did on my previous phone was use this app to protect Viper. Install that, go to "Tasks", tap on Viper, and select "Exclude" on the bottom left.
Root the device (search how to root the device Huwei Mate 2)
Change to permissive mode with “SELinux Mode Changer” apk from xda or search.
Enable developer options (tapping the Settings->Builld Number several times will enable the developer options, by default it is hidden from the user) and uncheck Use Nuplayer option.
Install the viper4android (get the latest untouched viper4android from original viper4android thread).
optional making viper4andriod as system app(refer how to make system app, if you want to make viper4andorid as system app)
set following values on the “build.prop” using the (Build Prop Editor, search for apk)
##Viper4android
lpa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=false
lpa.releaselock=false
Run following commands with “Terminal Emulator” apk (search playstore or internet)
>>su
>>/system/xbin/supolicy --live "allow mediaserver mediaserver_tmpfs:file { read write execute };"
Open the viper4android and install the drivers.
Reboot the device
After reboot Launch the viper4android and check the driver status then you will see driver status normal.
feel free to play with compatible mode option or other options to suit your needs.
Thanks, guy with one post who revived a year old thread. If anyone tries this let us know how you made out, I guess.

I've been using V4A on stock ROMS and on CM ROMS with no issues at all.
