Lost Stock Browser with JB Update - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Running rooted (but not unlocked) US version. So much for checking out how it works now - it's not in the installed apps list - though it is there in the Settings/Apps and in the apk is there in System/App listing.
I hid root with Rootkeeper - restore root seems to have worked. Permissions look OK in the list. It just won't install manually or from reboot.
Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone got any ideas on how to get it to install?

If you haven't done this yet, check out ics+ browser. It's the stock browser with improvements its in the play store.

I had that installed but it just crashes. I guess the clue is in the name of the app and we will have to wait for JB+ Browser :laugh:.
I am happy enough using Chrome for now but just keen to get the stock one working. I wonder if it has something to do with running ram2browser before which I uninstalled (along with the APTweaks app) before I did the upgrade?

I thought Chrome was supposed to be the stock browser in JB?

It is, but the thing is Chrome does not support Flash... So i have it installed but i need at least an option for flash content. But i guess i'll find something else if ICS+ doesnt work

There is a holo browser in the android apps forums. I love it! See if that works.

The browser I assume is stock is just called Browser.apk v 4.1.1. This is the one installed by the update (or rather the one dumped into System/App but not installed lol). Is this working for others? The version of Chrome I already had installed works fine - apart from Flash of course. But I had gotten quite used to the ICS stock.

I assumed that would rely on some of the new graphics API features introduced in Gingerbread, but I could be wrong.

[Q] Reinstall Google Talk?

Is it possible to reinstall Google Talk? I've tried moving it back to /system/app/ using Root Explorer but it doesn't seem to be working? :S

Are you saying you uninstalled it & then just moved a copy of the .apk to the system/app folder with root explorer?
If so, moving it to the folder after uninstall does not reinstall it. It must actually be reinstalled.
Haven't tried Talk specifically, but I've done it with VTL Launcher using SystemApp Remover. It has the capability of backing up system apps & uninstalling them. I then installed the newer version & had it convert it to a system app.

If you have the new market app you should just be able to install but eventually Market should auto update for you. We have 4 gTab's in our house & mine took 2+ weeks from the time it was released to update, same for my wife's, but my son's & grand daughters have not updated yet. They don't use theirs as much as we do, so it may have soemthing to do with that.
BEWARE though, some VeGAN Ginger Edition users have reported the new Market force closing on them with no resolution yet. Seems to be sporatic...some it works for some it doesn't.

[Q] Words with Friends broken since TW Update

Ever since I updated WWF after the TW update, I get an error connecting to the servers and can't play any games. I have tried a forced close and clearing cache. anyone else having problems with this? If so, does anyone have any solutions?
Thanks
-Triple
I had to update in the market place to fix mine. Works perfect now.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App
I played last night and everything worked great, even got push notifications for the first time. WWF definitely needs a paid version for android to get rid of those annoying adds.
That and I can receive chat messages but I can't send them.
Tab 10.1 w/TW Wi-Fi, retail
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App
after doing the update from the market, i was able to send messages. I couldn't do anything without it FC or giving me network error message from the version that was loaded with Touchwiz.
How did you guys get the version from the market to update the TW version? When i go out to the Market "Open" is the only option I get.
when you go into settings>applications what version do you have installed? I am running 3.61
Mine shows up as 3.59. Funny thing is that the Market version says 3.61 but "open" is the only option I get.

Try clearing the cache for your market and see if it will come up
Mine is version 3.59 as well.
Same issue when I go to the market.
I just emailed the dev.
When are these adds going to be dealt with?

I removed my stock version and installed it again from the market. I pulled and zip the apk. Extract and install from from your sdcard.
I can't try it right now, but I will check it out later. Thanks for taking the time!

Naked, work was blocking the download. After getting impatient I tried logging into the Android market on my PC and forcing an install on my tablet. It worked like a charm! I am now running 3.61. I am testing it now, but I have yet to get an error.

Sweet, glad you got it working. Good idea on doing the web page market and forcing the upgrade. I'll keep that in mind in the future.
I have seen often programs not able to update properly when they are located /system/app. Since the it was part of the upgrade to TW, they have it located there.
The install from Market worked great for me as well.
Never knew you could do that.

TripleTapper, can you please explain more? Now do you "force install" from the market? It just tells me that my Nook Color is incompatible with the app, and the buttons are greyed out.
Thanks.
I just opened the Market using the browser on my PC. When I do that and search for Words for Friends I click on install. It then gives me an option to install onto my various Android devices by selecting it from a pull down. My Galaxy Tab comes up as Samsung GT-P7510.
Words has been working flawlessly now! : )

Where can I get a working version apk?
Does the new stock ICS come with it? If so, try to pull one from there. I remember when I first went to the VM leak ics roms, none of the apk's I found would work, and the one the market gave me didn't work either. I had to find a REALLY old one to get it to work.

Yes i can confirm i installed flash 11.1 apk and its working perfectly.
flash works fine in the stock browser, you just need to side load a flash APK. Anything 11.1 or higher will work fine. Enjoy your porn :silly:.
It works well with boat browser and boat lets you set the user agent to desktop
Where did you find the Flash .apk?

So, even though it's JB the stock browser works with Flash? That's a big plus since I'm not yet ready to give up in-browser Flash videos. Now, it just needs root, SixAxis and Wireless Tether and I'll be content.

All Adobe said was that Flash for Android would be discontinued and wouldn't be officially supported by them after ICS. That doesn't mean it won't continue to work on some devices running 4.1 on up, just that there's no promise of working. I think Flash is still working with most Jelly Bean devices.

Same here. I doesn't work properly on some youtube videos. Some videos show scrambled lines but no pictures, some others just won't play. I installed the same JB version of Flash that I've been using on my SG3 (worked perfectly on all dozens of custom ROMs that I had flashed) and on my ATT Note (also on dozens of ROMs from AOSP, AOKP, to CM10 etc...) But no go on this Verizon Note II. I had to uninstall it. I only use Stock Browser BTW

Good idea! Apparently it is working according to the test pages. Maybe its just certain sites use a different player not suited for mobile...ill download dolphin beta and see if it works. Ive been out of the loop for a bit...why has adobe stopped supporting android? That was a major advantage of android in the early days.
Web site is probably borked and not handling browser user agent ID correctly. For example, videos on main page Yahoo don't work but Yahoo Movies do. Other tech news sites work too.

CNN videos work fine for me in Boat Browser. Been using that browser exclusively for about 6-months now and is about the best and fastest browser for Android with Dolphin coming in a close second.
You can get all of the Flash versions, and the latest (old) version of Dolphin that supported Flash from this link here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336
I'm using the latest version of Flash (11.1.115.27) and the latest version of Boat Browser.
Just letting you guys know...CNN is a strange website in that
If you ever enter CNN without the Desktop Mode enabled and try to watch a video, then they drop a cookie in your browser, so when you come back to the website with Desktop mode, flash videos will not work. So the solution is to clear your cache.
I am having the best luck with Beta Firefox, addon: Desktop by Default (makes sites think your phone is a normal computer so no mobile bull****) and Adblock Plus (gets rid of most annoying popups etc)
Also found that when you go full screen on flash videos, you should turn the phone to the correct side of landscape so the video doesn't have to flip 180 or 90 degrees and there be a chance for it to freeze; sounds odd but a really buggy old flash page kept freezing when I went full screen the wrong way but loaded normally when I used the correct method.
Coming from the GNex, seems like Samsung's software is a little less forgiving then Google's unfortunately so steps like this seem necessary for the moment.

I just tried Firefox Beta again. Still blows. There's no full-screen, no homepage, no way to keep "request desktop" permanent, no way to access tabs in the full-screen add-on without turning full-screen add-on off, accessing tabs, then turning full-screen add-on back on again.
Desktop by Default seemed buggy and not always on.
Although Firefox was blazing fast, they've got a long way to go options-wise before they can compete with other mobile browsers.
