Hey guys, sorry if this has been posted somewhere else. I have tried looking around and google since yesterday wih no results.
So after i install some custom ROM, i realized that i lost polaris office. So, is there any way i can get the polaris office back? I tried to copy the polaris office apk to my phone /system/app; with no result. I am pretty sure that Polaris Office is available by default on HTC Amaze; but, I didn't realize until recently that it got deleted when I install some custom ROM. Is there any custom ROM that have Polaris Office by default?
Got the same question for stock browser. Is there any way i can get aosp browser instead of htc browser? I tried copy the apk with no luck either.
*****Edit: Actually, after messing around with the stock browser (I copied the apk into /system/app and install the browser), I managed to get the browser to work... But, the browser somehow hides the notification bar by default, and I am pretty sure that AOSP browser is not suppose to do this. Does anyone know what's the problem?
Can anyone give me some suggestions?
Thank you

First off, I will admit that I am relatively new to rooting android phones. I did have multiple Jailbroken iPhones, however that is something different entirely.
So I just recently flashed Eugene's Vibrant5 rom, and I absolutely love it... however I do miss some of the stock applications that come with the Vibrant. I was wondering if anyone happened to have the .apks for the original applications? I have a Titanium Backup from before the flash, and it shows the applications in the list... however when I try and Restore Missing Applications + System Data it doesn't do anything. There isn't a whole lot I miss, things like Thinkfree Office. I know there is Adobe Reader for free in the Market, but I did try it and it didn't work for me. Not being able to search through a .pdf file was an EPIC fail for me.
Any help would be appreciated
I also think having a thread with all of the stock .apk's listed for download would be a great idea. I am also rooted, and if someone could tell me how to get these off of my phone in .apk format, I won't mind uploading any of them, if not all, of course over time
are they located in /system/app/ folder?
I'm already on Vibrant5 rom, I can verify that there are a lot of .apk files in there, I can't say whether or not ALL the stock ones are there though. Is there a relatively decent demand for these to be posted? If so I don't mind reverting back to stock and pulling them all off for everyone.
Bump on this one, been really wanting the stock calender and the calculator .apk cause they both just have more features then those that are on eugenes roms ( google map points saved to calender appointments, much more complex calculations avail on the calc besides both just look better imo).....
A bunch of these apps can't even be backed up through titanium, it unity copies data fort some reason or another. Apks of these would be awesome or at the least some files and the required terminal commands would be appreciated.

Dont mind the skidmarks...
I did a search on this forum, and I've seen some posts on other forums about this, but nothing I've tried so far has worked. Is it possible to get the AOSP Browser on a Sense ROM (I'm running BAMF 1.7 right now). The HTC browser is worthless, and I'm not a fan of the various market replacements (I've tried DolphinHD, Firefox, Skyfire, both Opera's, and Miren). In my opinion the AOSP broswer is near perfect. Minimal overhead, does its job and that's all. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

no idea, but you can try to pull the .apk from any AOSP rom or from CM7 and use adb to push the file.
on a side note id love it devs enabled the about:debug option standard on all browser so i have easy access to the UAString

Already tried that. I've pulled the browser from CM7 and from 'de-sensed' builds. I delete the old browser (actually just rename), reboot, push the new browser to /system/app, and install. Install works fine, but the browser just FC's upon load. Anyone got any ideas? I've read its difficult because of all the tweaks made to the HTC browser, but it must be possible since some de-sensed ROMs use it. I just don't know where to make edits to prevent FCs.
I use this Rom manager install from Teslacoil and it works perfect with DB 1.63. Do not try it with GB, it will fail hard!
Thanks, I am going to give it a shot now.
good i like this
Don't forget to repair permissions then reboot. Works for me. Also make sure your using something like root explorer with mount on when your switching apks in the system folder.
My bad that's if you use the apks from an older post on the forum so just ignore if your using the one posted above.
Hey guys I seem to have lost my Gingerbread stock browser. I was playing with widgets and I wanted to make some space and "removed" my browser from the home panels..not the application panel. Now when I went into applications I cannot seem to find my stock browser!! How do I get it back?! Please help this is very annoying...
Also I don't want to use any other browser..I tried dolphin, and various others..I am not happy with them. Stock seemed to be the smoothest, fastest, and appealing browser to me.
You can't delete the stock browser. Did you check and recheck all the icons in your app drawer? It could be there, I know myself looking over an app for like 10 times, then discover I have it installed when going through the market.
Try a reboot or something, I hope it'll help.

I did a reboot. I'm not sure what you mean by app drawer? Is that the same as the "application" menu with all the apps installed? I'm new to android I just got the Galaxy S2 two days ago, so bare with me. I did the google search in my phone also to help me find it, and it cannot locate it. In fact you need the browser for it so when it asked me to view a web page it asked to use "dolphin" or "skyfire" not my "Internet" browser.
You can't delete Stock browser. You may have deleted the Widget but no way one can remove the system browser. Even I doubt it if it's possible to delete by TB, so it must there in Menu.
Regards.
Yes the App Drawer is the official name for the menu with all the icons. It's very weird you could remove the stock browser. And that you can't select it anymore.
Does your phone give any errors when using the dialer (the app you use to call someone)? Since the SGS2's Dialer.apk relies on the Browser.apk (filename for an android app), weirdly enough.
You cannot remove an app when using the home menu. At least not using the stock TouchWiz interface.
If you have no errors or problems, it HAS to be there.
This happend to me to on my galaxy tab. I think I did it with titanium back up. I don't know how you did it but you can reflash stock software with odin and get it back. You might lose your data.
It's working now. I spent a few hours trying to figure out what happen to the browser! I gave up. Funny thing is before this issue I flashed my ROM to Litening 3.2 I didn't like the bugs on it..especially the very heavy laggy internet bug! So I got a new browser didn't like it. While I was moving my widgets around I usually "remove" them and go back to my app draw to place them again where I want. I went to my app draw...no internet browser. After unable to figure it out..I reflashed my ROM back to the previous litening ROM 3.0. Then what do you know the browser came back! It has nothing to do with litening ROM, but I'm guessing it has a browser.apk in it so it installed it for me again.
I have searched and searched the forums for hours before posting this question so I apologize if I have missed the solution.
I am using NilP's Business Sense ICS Rom v2.2 and everything works fine but Polaris Office. Every time I try to open an attachment I get an error saying, "Unfortunately, Polaris Office has stopped".
What I have done so far:
I have removed the PolarisOffice.apk that came with the rom and have installed again several times. I install by using adb push to /system/app. I've read in other posts that Polaris needs 2 lib files to be pushed to /system/lib and I have done this to no avail. I also downloaded and pushed a Polaris .apk that Scott posted in his thread for his CleanRom. That did not work either.
Is anyone else having this issue with the new ICS roms and Polaris? Also, can anyone point me in the right direction to getting it fixed?
Have u tried fixing permisions?

Thanks for the reply. No, I haven't tried that. Do you know what the permissions should be? And for which, the apk or the lib files?
Yeah, the newest leaked seems to have broken polaris office. I liked looking at my work schedule on it best because you could zoom out enough to see the whole thing and it was still clear.
It was working on previous ICS leak based ROMs, but now is not.
Not sure how to fix it, but post here if you get it working.
Yeah I like it better than the other doc viewers/editors I've used so far.
If I find a fix, I'll def post the solution.
New leak is out, thought to be the eventual ics update. I'll flash Scott's version once its ready and try polaris.

Is it possible to have the gingerbread search function/app on ICS? Google now is nice but is not as quick or responsive as I would like. Also the "fake" browser that search results are displayed into loads really slowly. I really utilized the quick Google search in gingerbread and would love to have it back if possible. Any chance?
I can safely assume this is not possible? Does anyone have an apk for Google search on gingerbread? If so, I would love to try it and see if it works.
I was hoping you were going to get an answer, since I am not 100% confident in what I did. But it mostly works.
I downloaded the search apk from here:
http://www.filecrop.com/google-search-ics-apk.html.
renamed it Google_Search.apk, put it in /system/app, changed permissions. and to get rid of Google Now, I changed velvet.apk to velvet.apk.old. reboot.
This might be the ics Google search instead of Gingerbread (it is different than the one I had under GB, but that was Sense based), but it is not Google Now.
Thanks Bob! How responsive is it? And search results open right to the browser?
Also, which apk did you download?

I downloaded the first actual file from the page I linked ..... GoogleSearch-#### Trans etc .apk. The appearance is modified from stock, but functionally it seems the same. It is fairly responsive, night and day from Google Now. And yes, the search results open in the browser.
I know you mentioned GB, I just wanted to get rid of Google Now so was looking for ICS. You might be able to pull the GB search apk out of one of the packages here: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps#Universal_Packages_4
Good luck.
