Is there anyway to sideload the stock browser or the browser from the original droid razr? I prefer the interface over chrome and I would really like to have access to flash, and I'm not a fan of the interfaces of 3rd party browsers. If it's possible, where would I be able to find the APKs? Thanks!
Here's the stock aosp browser, if that's what your looking for

Swyped while swerving from my Droid Razr Maxx HD
I haven't found a way to sideload it. Everyone I've tried forces close.

Hey guys, a quick question: is there a way to do an undo on nook, or any droid platform for that matter?
laptop died so using nook as replacement, currently using slideit on horizontal abc mode, and its actually not bad except finding some symbols, not as intuitive of typing as on my fascinate samsung. bought a bt keyboard, should be arriving soon.
also, what is the best browser in your opinion, and why? im personally using dolphin hd with desktop mode most of the time.
i'm using opera, smoother experience
For the browser, I've recently started using Firefox on my nook, and since it syncs with my desktop, I really like the experience. Especially as you add in a fee ad ons.
Not sure what you mean by "undo" but this could be apparently specific.
Im using dolphin mini as I found this to be the fastest on my fascinate. Thumb keyboard is a pretty good choice

what do you mean by undo? as in like unroot? if so there are ways (easiest is if you backed up your stock rom, like I did)
As for browser, I love dolphin Browser HD, works better than anything on both my nook and Droid...Opera 11 is also good, but doesn't have enough easy-to-use options for me (and Dolphin's tabs area also easier to use)
What i mean is like.. i want to be able to edit in a word doc or just typing anywhere. its just really annoying if you mistakenly delete a bunch of text never to be able to undo the deletion.
any ideas on this?
also, is swype available for NC?
What is the obsession with Android web browsers and new tabs?! Dolphin Browser HD, my preference, is great but EVERY TIME I want it to open a link it opens in a new tab. EVERY TIME I click a link from a desktop widget Dolphin opens and creates a new tab. Why? My desktop browser overwrites the content on the tab I have open unless I tell it not to. Mostly I prefer that. I don't need instant access to the last three tabs I had open yesterday. Why is there not a control to change that behavior? Seems so simple. Dolphin has no control for DO NOT open in new tab. Neither does Opera for Android. Neither does Firefox for Android.
try chrome beta instead.
chrome beta opens link in the same tab, but when you long-press on a link, you have a few options, like "open in new tab"
AFAIK only Chrome does that but u need ICS in order to install it
It doesn't do it to me everytime. But regardless I cant sway away from dolphin HD. The only problem i have had with Dolphin HD is downloading things.
There's a setting in Dolphin to control this. I don't know where it is. Try contacting Dolphin support.

Try Boat Browser. I've been using it since my droid charge and onto my razr maxx. Allows new tab controls. Other very cool features to go with it as well. Completely replaced my stock browser

Aye it does, but Chrome beta is ICS-only. It worked wonderfully on my Galaxy Nexus, and I was sad to find out it doesn't work here
Just be aware that some websites default to opening external links in new tabs. vBulletin forums do this, and XDA is vB if I'm not mistaken. So, it's not necessarily a browser issue.
SO, what browsers are available that allow setting User Agent string sticky (not every time you launch)?
I've been using Dolphin, also ICS Browser+. ICS Browser+ doesn't work in Jelly Bean, so that only leaves Dolphin. I gather from reading the owner's manual that the Desktop View check box is not sticky (in the stock browser), you have to manually set it for each site.
Last I looked, Firefox and Chrome both lack this obvious feature. Are there any others out there that have a User Agent setting?
Thanks, Bob Graham
Boat Browser is the only one that I know of that will support Flash Player in Jelly Bean. I still use Dolphin HD for other stuff, because I like the left side swipe to access bookmarks, but I use Boat Browser if I need theFlash functionality.
I was not happy when Dolphin pulled the option to enable Flash. We should be able to make that choice.

Boat browser and Dolphin browser both have a setting to put your browser in desktop mode permanently. These are also the best two browsers for Android in the order that I've listed them, with Boat browser being #1 because it's slightly less resource-hungry, and a little faster than Dolphin.
As far as Adobe Flash, it works mostly fine in Boat browser. Dolphin has stopped support for Flash, so you have to use an older version of Dolphin. You can download all versions of Flash, including the latest version of Dolphin that supported Flash at the link below:

I'm confused by this: I read multiple times that Chrome is gonna replace the previous "Android Browser" with 4.0 and above, is this actually the case for stock ROMs?
I'm using a DHD with Jelly Time (Android 4.2.2) and I still have the Android Browser as my default Browser and can additionally download Chrome from the Play Store. This could be a custom ROM specific feature, but I'm not sure..
Can some of you using a stock ROM confirm whether Chrome is the new default Browser and if the "Android Browser" still exists?

Android browser is the default. It's basically a version of chrome, from what i understand, but yes, they are still separate.

It appears as if it depends on your device. The "stock" browser on both my devices is Chrome. It is the only browser that came with them. They are a Nexus 7 and a Motorola Razr M, both running JB.
I bought galaxy s duos and there was no chrome browser there . I had to install it from net. . so chrome is not default in that sense.
Hey guys, does anybody know if Air Gestures are possible in Chrome and other browsers and other apps besides the stock ones??
I don't like the stock browser and love Chrome and i'd love all the new features to work there.

same boat, I can't find any way to get them to work in Chrome, only the default browser which is clunky
why do 4.0+ androids need two browses preinstalled anyway
