How to install stock browser from AOSP ROM on COS /H2OS
Thread topic says it all. COS uses Chrome as it's default browser, and I disable/uninstall it first, since I find most of all Google-given apps on Android as bloatware (Gmail, maps, drive, keep, play games, music, video etc). OTOH, H2OS uses QQ browser that has built-in Chinese bloat and bookmarks. I tried to install a stock 5.1.1 browser from OmniROM as system and as a user app, but it keeps FC-ing. Any help in achieving this is appreciated.
Ok.... So I installed it first in /system/app and it FC-ed. But after installing it in /system/priv-app, the browser works well. If anyone needs to use this, please do the same.

since I have installed final jb rom LIB I can't open google maps and youtube links through the browser to their apps, all links open directly to the browser version. I have tried to delete cache of browser and apps but still having the problem.
any body have the same problem? is there any way to configure it?
it never ask me like in ics if I want to open it with the app or browser.

I installed a new rom (omega 4.1.2). Saw the stock jellybean browser. Then I CWM flashed the AOSP browser, which usually works. However now I cannot find the browser icon anymore. I checked system/apps/ and the apk is there. There is a "popup browser" which can be activated through links link email links, and that brings up the AOSP browser I want, but in a pop up window. So I know the AOSP browser is there and it works, but I can't find the icon to open the full browser!
Hello there,
First post on the site. Of course its about troubleshooting!!
On to the problem.
I have rooted my phone, installed Titanium back-up and got a little finger happy uninstalling apps and bloatware from my phone. I thought it was a good idea to uninstall the stock browser with android. Without thinking about it there are other stock apps and services that don't function properly now that I have removed the stock browser (ex. I can't open a any contacts information but I can get into the menu, some of the updating doesn't work properly).
Does anyone know where I can get an apk to re-install the browser to restore full use to the phone?
Thanks guys,
Nathan
Any fruitcake out there?
Not sure if the browser is responsible for all those problems, but here is mine, android 2.3.7. Just push it to /system/app or install it normally
Edit: here it is

You were right andresrivas. The browser installed without problems but it will not open. It says "The application Browser (processcom.android.browser) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again later." message. I get the same message when I try to view a contact inside of the contacts menu. None of the system apps will update either such as the Google Play app still shows as "Market" for example.
I am at a point now where I just want to find a way to reinstall the OS/firmware if its possible. I am not sure where to get a file to do something like that which will mesh with my current service provider "Bell Mobility". Anyone have any ideas?
I abolished trying to fix stock android and just flashed CM7. Everything is perfect now. Thanks for the help.
So, I have the Huawei S7-601w, mind the w in the product name. It's a Huawei Mediapad 7 Vogue BUT the wifi only version (no cell or 3G). This version is only sold in China where I currently live, so only a Chinese ROM is available. And as you might know, a Chinese ROM means no GAPPS.
I tried to flash a WW rom of a 3G version (T for the chinese 3G and U for the WW 3G) but that didn't work out well.
Next, I tried to root it. Nowadays that's easy with any one click root software. SRS Root and OneClickRoot didn't work, I found this site with recommends the "Da-Shi" root progam. Please DO use google translate if you want to follow the link . I hit some lucky clicks in the program and got my tablet ROOTED. Hurray for me.
Next I installed ES File Explorer and downloaded the GApps for my android version, which is 4.2.1. I was a bit suprised to find all the google apps already in the /system/apps/ folder. If they are in this folder, why are they not installed automatically when booting?
Anyway, I installed all the necessary android apks
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleLoginService.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
OneTimeInitializer.apk
Phonesky.apk
GSMCore.apk
GMail2.apk
GSM_Maps.apk
PlusOne.apk
YouTube.apk
This made Maps, Local, Navigation, Gmail, Google+, Messenger, Youtube and Google Settings WORKING.
Furthermore Contacts, Calender, photos etc.. are syncing without problems. :good:
The only thing which is not working is the Play Store itself. It is starting up correctly and does not crash. I only get the "No Connection - Retry" screen.
The easy solution here would be to clear the cache, remove Play store updates, etc... but I tried all of that. A nice overview can be found in this post.
also, sometimes, mainly when I open Play Store, I get the message "Unfortunately, the process com.gapps has stopped.
Quite a story,now my question.
So, I got this far. Any ideas to get this running completely?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I'm wondering if there is a way to remove everything from your smartphone except only the essentials to run Android OS?
Then download individual APKs for apps such as calculator, clock, VLC, Gmail, Spotify, etc. through the computer and transfer them onto the phone for installation.
Is this possible?

Thread moved to correct area.
Personal input: A custom ROM like LineageOS is probably as slimmed down as you're going to get. Google Apps and anything that doesn't come with the ROM can be added manually, including installing APKs for apps manually.
I manually update all my apps from apks I usually get from apkmirror.com
You'll need GApps (Google Apps) to run things like Google Play, Gmail, Google Calendar, etc. But there's open source and ROM-baked alternatives. LineageOS for example comes with its own Calendar, File Manager, etc.
