I was surprised when I launched the new Samsung stock browser and it lacked flash support!! Well, shouldn't say surprised since this phone released with JB 4.2.2 which does not support flash... so not much support given in the thread of flash playing, just for getting it installed.
So, with root... I solved this issue and now so can you!
I used the files from from Nexus 7. As soon as we get something that is more for our device, I will change the source.
Requirements:
1) ROOT - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252248
2) Grab the Browser - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1753139&d=1361590018 ( thanks to sikagoon7 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38356096&postcount=354)
3) Grab ChromeBookmarkSyncAdapter if you want it - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1980058&d=1369154901
4) Grab the flash apk (current: 11.1.115.58) - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
Steps to do:
1) Push the files to sdcard
2) Rename Browserproxyprovider files by adding .bak to end of the file name (or remove the file) in /system/app
3) Push Browser.apk to /system/app and change the file permission rw-r--r--
4) Push ChromeBookmarkSyncAdapter.apk to /system/app and change the file permission rw-r--r--
5) Install flash
6) Reboot (IMPORTANT: purpose of Browserproxyprovider is to block other browsers so AOSP will crash if you do not reboot after install)
7) Launch browser
If having issues, grab terminal emulator and clear dalvik cache and reboot
Code:
su
cd /data/dalvik-cache
rm *
reboot
Works great! Thanks. Glad I can still use the stock browser too!

The only problem that I've noticed is that media bar is not showing up for me, so I can't go full screen or skip ahead. Let me know if you see this too.
I plan on trying out other sources for AOSP browsers this weekend. Just wanted to put a guide up for now.

You can certainly try and see what happens, as far as I know the purpose of the file is to block browsers (that's the behavior on my nexus 7). So it might crash the AOSP browser if it loads.

Okay tested. If you rename Browser.Provider.Proxy.apk back to normal AFTER you've confirmed Browser runs properly, it won't cause a crash.
Is this safe to delete altogether? Does anyone know what it does?

I have it removed on my devices. I haven't seen any repercussion yet in removing, only with it installed (AOSP browser not running). Afaik, the real purpose for the is just to be annoying not allowing for extra browsers in /system partition. :silly:

In order to get proper reflow of text on doubleclick, I have resorted to using browser from my note 8 and while that crashes now on my phone on doubleclick and bookmarks, the third party app quick ics browser that uses it as a base, works flawlessly now.
JKAY DELUXE [I9300 JB 4.1.2]
Boat Browser, as well as Dolphin browser will do text reflow as well. So will my new favorite browser Sleipnir. The previous three browsers mentioned all use the old browser engine (non Chrome) that is still included with the stock rom.
I take it back, looks like smart reflow (doubleclick to reflow after pinch to zoom, without taking you back to overview) works with aosp as well. Apologies.

So installing this new AOSP browser will still let me keep S4 stock browser??
It shouldn't remove it since it just adds the APK but no guarantees even if it kills your dog.
I gave the OP a "thanks". This stock browser works great per the instructions. I can once again sync my Bookmarks with Google and I now have Flash.
The stock browser in my I9505 was lagging on some sites with java scripts. Beside, while in full screen mode the navigation bar was not auto hiding.
This solved my problems. Thx.

Hi all - I've flashed the Super Clean ROM v0.4 by jt1134, but I'm finding that I much preferred the stock music player, and noticed a lack of "ThinkFree Office" in this release, which got me to thinking;
Is there a place to download optimized, deodexed, zipaligned, [insert optimization buzzword here] apks for every one of the stock apps that were included with the Fascinate? Something we can just adb push onto our customized ROMs after the fact?
Again, I'm thinking mostly of the music app and ThinkFree office (I know I can download a free version... was the stock app the for-pay version, or was it the free "lite" version?), but I know that some people also like the stock mms app, etc.
Thanks!

I was just going to start looking for the deodexed system dump. I, too, miss the stock music player. Anyone got a link, and will it work with JT's rom? And how should we install it? Using a file manager, pushing it with adb, or putting it somewhere with root explorer?

Or you can DeOdex your system manually I have used this method and it works, Only exception is at step "5. IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3, you MUST navigate to the xUltimate folder and find "origi_frame" folder, and delete "vzwlbs.odex" (instead of this file that does not exist on a Fascinate - "guava.odex".) It's a bad file, and interferes with deodexing process."
I was actually going to request the stock calender apk. The samsung one looks better but takes away too much functionality. I guess they really do like apple haha. I need to know what's next on my schedule without remembering to look for it.
Jt has been slowly adding some of the stock apps as well as some of the AOSP apps to the "extra" folder in ROM manager. I'm guessing if there is enough interest in adding an app he would be willing to provide it. I'm fairly certain that donations to his "beer fund" would help prompt interest.
Jt hangs out in #Samsung-fascinate on freenode a lot, you could *politely* request that he add an app there.
i copied ClockPackage.apk and Mms.apk from frost's rom to /system/app and it all worked. I got back stock versions of both, I believe if you rename DeskClock.apk to DeskClock.apk.bck or delete it you can remove altogether JT's clock.

I'd like this app as well, if you're able to get it working. I'd try it myself, but I'm at work ATM.
I think its this "I500_MyVerizon_05202010.apk" I saw it in the full system dump. However that dump is not deodexed and from original release. don't know if it would work and don't wanna screw up my system.
You should be able to grab them from a system dump.
The fascinate stock apps that are not included in frosty's zip were never odexed in the first place.
The way frosty's zip to deodex works is by removing the odex files, and replacing the corresponding apk with the deodexed versions.
Can you just take the apk from the dump and install it? I need thinkfree back as well. Does this work or do you have to get the apk and odex file from the dump and paste into the system/app folder?
I remember having a deodexed rom on my D1 and installing apps from the market with no problems. Can I just add the apk to my sdcard and install?
Thanks
I would just copy them to system/app
I do not know if any of them are actually installable if you just run, them on your phone.
If it doesn't have an odex in the system dump, it probably doesn't need one.
I like the file manager "my files" that comes with the stock rom. I might get heat for this, but its nice to have that already installed and or a zip to install via clockwork for other roms.

I want to share the versions of the Market and various Gapps that work for me on Sam's HC EMMC v4.0, 2nd ed. build {Huge props to him, deeper-blue, and others who got HC working on the NC. Without their heroic efforts, I'd be working 4 jobs right now trying to save up to buy a Xoom}
This script is the first one I run after doing a fresh build of HC EMMC, but you should also be able to do it on a stale version of HC as well.
Maps is version 5.0
While I am confident that these files will work for you as well, please remember, individual results may vary---use at your own discretion.
NOTE: The 'GoogleServicesFramework.apk' file in the attached .zip will remove the blue wi-fi icon from Sam's initial build. If you prefer the blue icon over a working Market (My Apps), then DO NOT proceed with the installation!
That being said, please do the following before trudging ahead:
+ Perform a full backup using your bootable CWR SD card [see samuelhalff's thread for instructions on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947071]
+ Backup each of the original files on your NC that will be replaced by the script
+ See #1 & #2 above...you've been warned
Instructions for Installation:
Extract the files contained within the attached .zip into the same directory as your ADB directory (where your 'adb.exe' file lives). Mine was located here on my computer: C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Connect your NC to your computer, ensuring ADB is working properly ahead of time
Double-click on the file 'HoneyGAppInstall.cmd' and the script to install the new apps will run
The script will reboot your NC upon completion
Once your NC comes backup from the reboot, you can then login to the Market, select "My Apps" and they should show up right away.
I have also attached the 'build.prop' file I use. This modified file allows me to see tablet apps (NY Times Tablet, More Good News Tablet) and also I can see/download/install both Angry Birds games.
NOTE: The ro.sf.lcd_density is set to 140 in my file. This is not friendly to Zeam and needs to be set to at least 150 for that launcher to work without Force Closing in Portrait mode.
Good luck and let me know if any issues.
EDIT: For those running a build that is not new and already has the original Market setup, would be best to do the following steps after running the Gapps script:
1.) Settings > Manage Applications > All > Market: Clear Cache then Force Stop -- DO NOT Clear Data2.) Settings > Manage Applications > All > Google Services Framework: Clear Data3.) Reboot

Not being a dev, I don't know how to compile the files I attached and make them flashable.
However, I can tell you that I do have a black-themed Market by Darkslide for my DroidX that is flashable via CWR, but sadly, it did not work for me. I tried it by booting to the CWR SD card. Would have been nice to have the black-themed version.
I also have a flashable version of Zeam, but again, did not work for me.
Now, I have not tried it by going into CWR using Sam's method with his built-in utility. This is because I have not really been able to get that to work 100% of the time and also because it is just so easy to get to CWR via the bootable SD card that I have not really messed with it too much.
I can post the black-themed Market if someone smarter than me wants to take a look at it...might prove useful. I am just not sure if a DX file can be used on the NC
Just let me know and maybe we can figure it out together.

And you have to be pretty fast at disabling that little "HQ" icon in the top-right corner of the screen. From my experience, has to be almost instantaneous by the time it appears on the screen or the video won't load.

Thanks for checking. I did mess around with the build.prop you provided. I think I messed something up. I will use the file you provided without any changes.
Thanks.
Not being dev minded, I don't know how much help I would be. I was able to extract the apks from the zip file and move them with root explorer, changed permissions and it appears to be holding. Have rebooted twice and still good. Your script in the zip file would not work with cwr since it is windows based, I think. I don't know if the apks would install in recovery without a script, seems like it would not. Anyway, thanks for putting this together. Market works with the apks and the build. prop seems to have helped as well. Thanks again.

You are most welcome and yes, the .zip is not flashable for CWR. XDA will only allow for certain types of files to be uploaded and .zip is one of them, so easier for me to go that route.
Files in the .zip are meant to be extracted into the folder where ADB.exe exists in order for the script to work correctly. As stated in the OP, I have only tested this on a Win7 box, as that is the only platform I have access to at the moment.
Root Explorer will also work, as you already know. So, for those who want to go that route, it is certainly an option. Glad things are working well for you at this point. Thanks for your feedback!

Glad all is working for you and that is a good point...I will update the OP to let folks know the build.prop has the LCD Density set at 160, which is not Zeam portrait-mode friendly.
Thanks for the feedback!
Okay, just downloaded the new Amazon Appstore and installed Angry Birds Rio (the first Free App of the Day). Force Close... so I tried both 140 and 160 LCD Densities and still no luck. Tried both of the other Angry Birds (original & seasons) and they force close on all three densities as well.
Any thoughts on why you are able to run them but I can't using the same build.prop? The only thing I had changed from your build.prop was the LCD density, but as I said, even changing it back to match your original setting doesn't make Angry Birds work.
Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons work for me. I had to move them to the internal memory. I already tried moving Rio to internal memory, however it still FC's. I can get the game to almost start, but when it's time to start shooting, it FC's. I haven't tried changing the LCD density.
Same issue here with Rio. Tried internal and no dice. Doesn't run at all when on SD.
I made this for my own use, after getting annoyed with laggy browser using XXKG1. I like the stock browser, and wanted to "fix" it.

Odexed browser and framework files. Apart from that, it wipes cache. That's it.
So this will overwrite anything that touches the framework like battery mods?
It's a shame there isn't an easier way to do mods than buggering around with the apk's
Thanks for the info!

You can actually open up the zip, and delete framework-res.apk from the framework folder, and then apply it, and your battery mod will stay

Tried it with lite pro rom v2.2 and it got stuck on first boot logo.. Fortunately i did a nandroid backup first :/
I'm playing around with this as we speak.
VR 2.0 LITE.
So .. first problem I encountered: browser always crashed when I start it up BUT it does work with some kinks. Witch I think I can solve.
So how does it work? Well I am a arstechnica reader. In pulse rss reader (if not a subscriber to ars) you get a few lines from the artikel with a button to read the rest of the artikel in the browser. If you press it, you stay in Pulse reader but the engine of the browser is used to display the artikel at it's correct url.
The engine (with all it's hw-acc glory) works. As in: I can browse the page on ars, the comments, even with video's no problem. No laggy **** what so ever.
But ... the frameworks screws **** up a bit. (I think ) So I tried flashing back my old frameworks ... but it didn't work I screwed up my phone
So as we speak I'm reflashing vr2.0 lite.
So what I'll be trying is flashing JUST the browser part (without the frameworks). Lets see if that helps.
Which files does the browser need to work btw? As in: what files should I keep from frameworks? Or is it possible to just delete the whole frameworks folder?
I don't know what happened here! I took my risk and tried to flash it on cognition rom...I delete first framework apk and when I flashed I got an error E: bla bla bla message..I reboot and....no lag at the browser? I don't get it really I don't! Thanks anyway!

@people having problems with FCs. Not sure why you'd be having that problem, I didn't have any ._.
I'd suggest wiping dalvik and cache and updating if you still get FCs.
many issues with android can be related to caching mechanism...
My script *should* be wiping it anyway.
For myself, I did it manually.
Hey Rawat, I have always been under the impression that mixing odex and dex was not a good idea and has caused problems before when I was working on sgs roms.

From http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/dalvik/docs/dexopt.html:
There are at least three different ways to create a "prepared" DEX file, sometimes known as "ODEX" (for Optimized DEX):
The VM does it "just in time". The output goes into a special dalvik-cache directory. This works on the desktop and engineering-only device builds where the permissions on the dalvik-cache directory are not restricted. On production devices, this is not allowed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, if I understand correctly the odexed file is optimized, but you don't _need_ to have it as the OS will take care of it with some added CPU cycles (which we have enough to go around ) and swap it out to cache. But having the pre-odexed code would do no harm - as I take it - as it is preferred in terms of CPU time, but not necessary. By deodexing firmware you're not taking the odex interpreting code out, just taking out the odex itself. Please correct any ignorance in my thoughts, but I don't really see why you couldn't mix and match.
Am I making any sense at this hour with my medication?
on VR2.0, flashed via CWM and it does not say its done? it just reboots itself to ROM.. the app is there, but FCs after a few sec.. tried deleting framework res, clear cache and dalvik too.. if any VR2.0 user managed to use it flawless, do share how did u managed to
Hmm, taking out the framework apk didn't allow the browser to work unfortunately.. Android loads fine, but the browser force closes as soon as I attempt to scroll a webpage.. Looks like this will only work with an unmodded framework apk like you mentioned.
Sent from my SGS2
So i have been toying around with getting this to work on VR2.0 lite ... but as my earlier post (#9) said .. something is screwing the browser app up.
The engine runs pretty sweet. In multiple apps that use the browser engine to display content on the web everything works fine.
But the browser fc every time I scroll a page.
I read in some post that mixing odex & deodex stuff in the rom is not appreciated by the os. So it could be just a known thing I'm diving into. (I need a second phone to start experimenting since I really don't want to brik my phone)
So .. until I have time and the patience to actually learn how this works under the hood .. I have bad news
I really like the stock AOSP browser that comes with HC and hate the Sense version. I can extract the AOSP browser from an HC AOSP rom but when I try to run it in a Sense rom it FC's.

you have to use root expolrer or any file explorer that has root access. Install the app into system app and set permissions to match other system apps

look for browser and select, then go to databases. There is a couple files in there. You need to delete the 3 that have browser2 in it, I do not have my Flyer on me so I can not recall the actual names. Then reboot
I do this every time I flash another rom as I am a big fan of the stock HC browser
Excellent. Will give this a try and report back.
**Update.
Ok, once I deleted the stock browser and rebooted it worked. Thank you so much.
What am I missing?

what do you mean?
If you are asking why those files need to be deleted my understanding is that they are built by the browser. So since the browser has the same apk in name in both cases when you replace the HTC browser with the HC browser it looks to these dbs and those force closes because they are not compatible. So by deleting them and rebooting the new browser creates corrected db on boot. If you look back in data/data the browser2 dbs are back.

No worries. Didnt mean to say "what am I missing?". Was part of earlier comment when couldn't get it to work that I forgot to erase.
TouchWiz 5 on CM10 for the Galaxy Player 5.0

The biggest issue with this is working around the very limited amount of space we have in our /system. Before installing these things, you first need to clear out some space. I recommend having at least 23MB free before proceeding. I’m sorry that this requires so many steps right now; I might eventually start baking this into a ROM and releasing that, but for now, this is what we have to work with.
1) Freeing space
I recommend using a root browser to navigate to /system/app and inspecting what apps seem to be the largest. The ones that might be unnecessary should be uninstalled or converted to user apps via titanium. I recommend converting movie studio to a user app and uninstalling Cyanogenmod wallpaper manager as it’s pretty unnecessary and occupies several precious megabytes of space. Trebuchet wastes a whopping 17MB of space, so I recommend installing Apex Launcher or the stock 4.2 launcher (located in the SkyDrive folder) and then removing this with Titanium. You should also go to /system/media/video and clear out the files there since you don’t really need them for anything. Sound effects in /system/media/audio (with the exception of the ui folder) can be migrated to media/audio on the internal SD card to maintain function and free up some more space.
2) Installing TouchWiz apps
Right now, I have found TouchWiz Home and Weather widget apps that work with this ROM. I have located 4.1-compatible S Memo and Task Manager, but haven’t gotten those to go in yet. Now that you have plenty of space in /system, we can start adding things in.
a) Installing the theme
In the SkyDrive folder, you will find a Titanium Backup file for a TouchWiz CM10 theme. Copy this to the /storage/sdcard0/TitaniumBackup (or wherever you have it set to be) folder, launch Titanium, and restore the app. Go to System Settings > Themes and pick TouchWiz 5.0 and hit apply. Ignore the resolution warning.
b) Installing the launcher/weather widget
Push the “TouchWiz 5 Nature Launcher” zip to your SD card and install from CWM/ROM Manager. If it does not show up after rebooting, try clearing defaults from the launcher. If the problem persists, navigate to /system/app using a file browser and select/install both AccuweatherWidget.apk and AccuweatherWiddget_Main.apk files along with SecLauncher2.apk
c) Adding system sounds
There should be a “media” folder on SkyDrive. Right-click this and select “Download” to download the entire thing at once. Push the files to your internal SD card / media. Copy the contents of the ui folder to /system/media/audio/ui, overwriting the default Android files.
And that should be it! Not exactly a streamlined process, but it’ll do until we see a release of RemICS-JB for our device.

Great job. Two things though, the touchwiz launcher is pretty laggy for me. It just seems to skip animations. Also could you add color to the WiFi signal? I'm really used to having a gray signal bar mean no internet. Other than that, it looks and works great.

Check what things you have running in the background. I'm in the habit of limiting background processes to two, and everything on the device is pretty snappy then.
I think that's gray because we're using the original wifi drivers rather than the newer ones that are capable of displaying up/down connection indicators but are less reliable, but I'll look into it.
I did a little Photoshoping and the icons should now be green (install the backup located in the folder I named "theme green wifi"), but I have no way to test it right now because there is no WiFi here. Just switch to the system theme and back and you should be golden.

The TouchWiz launcher is in a .zip. The Android 4.2 launcher is optional and a separate .apk file.

then just push the Android-4.2-launcher.apk file to your SD card or USB storage and install it from a file manager if you want that.

EDIT: If you wanted to know how I was sending/receiving with the native app, I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mNvbS5tZHJ0b29scy5hcHBzLmd2aW50ZWdyYXRpb24iXQ..
