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.
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

I had been under the impression the stock browser for the JB build for the SGS3 was actually chrome. It however seems it is not since the fix to make desktop mode stick does NOT work for the stock browser.
So does someone know of a way to get the stock JB browser to actually stop showing mobile sites and actually serve the proper full on websites as well?. And yes I have tried the chrome-command line file, but that doesn't work for the stock browser as previously stated, so either the stock JB browser is not chrome or something else is wrong.
So can someone please help me achieve this, ie getting no annoying mobile view on my SGS3?
thank you

So anytime I try to DL some attachment in the stock browser (E-mail attachment, d/l from some link etc) the browser crashes. I usually just open it up in Firefox to grab it. I cant figure out when this issue started or what is causing it. I prefer to use the stock browser as it feels more integrated than Firefox does.
Any ideas what is causing this?
Thanks in advance
