[Q] Replace Browser.apk - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to replace the Browser.apk with a different browser..I read up and people said just rename the new browser to browser.apk and replace it in system/app
I removed the stock browser and replaced it and there's no force closes or anything just the new browser don't work..I tried replacing it with chrome btw
Any help would be appreciated thanks

Chrome only works on androgen do 4. And you can't put any app in /system/app. The apps need to not be signed.

You could just delete the normal browser from /system/app.

No, as they depend on different frameworks.

Well, it may be risky but use root explorer to find system/app on your phones memory. Then replace the default SMS.apk with your SMS.apk.
Don t think will work,i won t be able to recieve sms.

You deleted the file where?
If you are trying to paste it where are you copying from?
What phone and Rom do you have?
Here is an original accuwheatherphone.apk system file if you need it from the i527m version, as i see by your signature you have the GT-I9205 version if this is correct, they should be the same file i am thinking and you can try it if you like. :good:

If you have the apk file in your system/apps already, look in the widgets as this is were it will show..if the weather is not showing on your home screen you have to add it like you add a widget as this is the way i had to do it as i also tried that transparent weather apk that did not work for me, it should work with a reboot..but it might have to be added like a widget in case the rebooting part does not work.

What do you mean 'you have to add it like you add a widget'? The widget also not showing at the widget drawer. I dont know how to solve this problem. I tried many ways but dosent change anything.

Once you have the apk file copied back to the system/app folder it will show up in widgets..well it should after a reboot and you find it in widgets and hold your finger down on it and it should go to your home screen and then you release and it should be on your home page.
But if it is no showing up in the widgets drawer then that is weird..the weather apk file you have in system/apps folder is ithe permission set to rw-rw-r-- and you can use your root explorer to set the permission and reboot and see if it works then..if this does not work then I am kinda baffled on this.
