i've googled and i can't find it anywhere
i'm on the stock HC view rom and i really like the original honeycomb
browser.
can someone point me in the right direction.
i'm assuming i could just install the apk and it'll work
This works for me on my flyer

You need to either push to system apps with adb or use file explorer with root capability.
If using root explorer, copy then paste in system/app
Set permissions to match other system apps

xoo
xoo
Then go to data/data/com.browser/databases
Delete all files with browser2 (see attached picture)
Reboot

i tried the root explorer method but it didn't work
did exactly what you said and it force closed and browser isn't even there anymore
did i do something wrong? i do have root
when i try the adb method, it keeps saying device not found
when i try adb remount rw, it says operation not permitted
kind of a noob at adb, only use it when rooting devices
need to know which commands to use
No that is what worked for me. Do you have a Rom for your device. I would presume your browser apk is the same as mine on the flyer. If you do not have the HTC browser let me know and I will extract and post for you
Try again though. Just tried it myself as I had HTC browser atm and downloaded apk from link I posted, did exact steps listed, and now I have stock hc browser

i had the htc browser but i wanted the stock honeycomb browser like in the desensed rom, not from the htc rom. I'm using the evo view with the stock HC rom. I guess i do need the HTC Browser. Thanks
Here is HTC browser. Follow same steps to get this back. But those steps should work on first browser I posted, just installed using that method less then 5 minutes

yes, right after copy and pasting
used the HTC Browser and followed your instructions and rebooted worked perfectly
then tried again because i really want the other browser, didn't work, keeps force closing
thanks again for all your help, i'll try a few more times in the morning
otherwise i can just use dolphin
THANKYOU!
Not sure why it is not working for you. Last ditch thought is to get into recovery after install and fix permissions there.

Off the T-Mobile shelf Glacier came with Swype, weather and clock, and mobile office (powerpoint, word and excel). But I rooted and flashed CM6.
What's the best way to restore them?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Hi, you can download a stock rom containing the apks and then using adb or root explorer to overwrite the apk's within your system/apps/ directory. Did you have a backup of your stock rom?
Also I'm not sure if cm6 supports the weather and clock widgets or any other htc sense widgets. You need the sense launcher from those. You can also pull the apks from the ice glacier rom for the quickoffice and swype
What about if the apps are backed up in Titanium? Can they be restored from there?

Im sorry, I couldn't get these to install. I downloaded and tried to install. File manager runs install but gets 'app not installed' message. Tried to push but 'device not found'.
I'm a noob to installing apps. How do I push apps - new sdk for cm7? which folders? does it have to be in fastboot? Can a paid root explorer install these?

Didn't work. I've given up on HTC weather widget but I'd really wanted the Quick Office cause it was an apk when I paid tmobile for my glacier.

Anyone figure out how to move files to and from sdcards without computer?
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
I do it all the time using explorer by speed software. Root explorer works too. Both on the market. Just cut and paste. There's a move option too. Did it two minutes ago.

That works thanx. I used explorer by speed software but the other did not work to move zip from internal sdcard to ext sdcard and was very slow while doing so. I had tried many others and they would hang or crash.
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
Had a similar issue. Previously, using Astro File Manager, it would work if you copy and paste, but for some reason it would not move outright. So I would just copy, then delete the original file.
Newer version of Astro seems to be able to move okay.
Nice thanx. Astro was killing me, its funny a simple move is not so simple but copy then paste and delete old works. Something about the temp file in move func. Recognizes same system, but at least I'm able to work around it.

Greetings!
Wondering if anyone knows of any sources for the stock Google apps for Honeycomb 3.2.
I installed HC (per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758 -- and am also going to try this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393904 )
I've been looking forward to HC, and am glad I finally bit the bullet, rooted, and installed it. But I'm still left wanting the stock, un-Sense'd experience.
The gmail app from HTC seems largely untouched. Unfortunately, that's not the case for calendar & contacts. Anyone know where I can get those apk's? (And if it's as simple as getting a hold of those and/or flashing them from CWM?)
I looked around on Google, but didn't find a good candidate to use (admittedly, I'm new to this, and am not sure what should work and what to avoid.)
Thanks, folks!
Jeff
Find a device that runs a asop or or close asop version of honeycomb and dl a Rom and pull the apk. Worth a shot
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
Attached are the Google Calendar (incl. widget), Google Desk Clock (incl. widget) and Gallery apk. I copied them from this ROM, but got them working on a HC Sense ROM now.
push to /system/app and reboot.
Unfortunately I don't have the Google Contacts apk
I can't seem to install it?

You can type "adb remount" instead of using a file explorer. I find that more convenient lol

I was able to get everything to work with root explorer except for the calendar app which is the one I want the most. Has anyone else has any luch getting the calendar installed?

Does your system/app contain the CalendarProvider.apk? It should be there in order to let the CalendarGoogle.apk work. Otherwise install aLogcat to find any exceptions...
OK, finally got the calendar working just by using Root Explorer. The trick was to put the calendar apk in the system folder and change the permissions there before moving it to the app folder. Works like a charm.
The Calendar sizing is a bit off, but I can live with it since I mainly wanted it for the widget.
HJ200 - Thanks for the Contacts.apk
Sorry I'm just now getting back to you. I knew I wanted to flash another ROM, and was waiting till I did to try this. Anyway, today I flashed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421074
And then tried the Contacts.apk. I am not familiar with adb, so tried with Root Explorer. With Root Explorer in R/W mode, I put the apk in System, changed the permissions to rw-r-r, moved it to the app folder, and rebooted. The apk is definitely there, but it is not found in the app drawer. Suggestions? (Also, I am not familiar with adb, so was trying to do it without that...)
Thanks!
Jeff
Anybody able to walk me through how to get the Contacts app working w/o using ADB?
My post above lists what I've tried. I've looked around and have not found helpful suggestions.
Thanks!

You wont be able to get the contacts apk to work because it relies on the stock HC framework :/

Aw, stink. Ok, thanks, Gumby.
I'd really like to take it for a little spin, it seems like they left it out, maybe because we only have one core.
I tried an apk from the interwebs and it wouldn't install.

yea i got it to run. didn't play with it much. but when i did it seemed as thou the display was meant for a 10.1 tab instead of a 7 incher. mayb there's one with the right resolution out there..but idk where.. :/
would be nice if we could get this working i'm sure i would use it all the time if we did.
I would love to see this working!! I can get it to import some pictures but even the color is off on them. As a video editor it would be nice to take quick cuts of things to see how it would work out...
Is there an apk or any way to get the stock HC keyboard on the flyer?

Hi, I think that this is what you looking for....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20788789&postcount=55
The link in the post you linked is for the stock browser. the answer to the OP question is yes. I used to have the app saved on my device and would post it for you but I must of deleted it. You can download any of the roms in development that are desensed. It is the Latin ime. Pull the app and place it inn system app, set permissions reboot. Or maybe someone who had the app will post it here for you. You may need the lib file as well to get library
