need to remove & re-install "Browser"

anyone know if I can?
really don't fancy re-installing all my apps and setting them all up again (by doing a format/wipe and starting again)
I get a force close every time I open Browser
any ideas?
thanks
I am using the latest Cyanogen ROM

To get it right you'll probably have to wipe but you might be able to adb pull the current Browser out and the adb push a new 1 in. I doubt that that will work though.

I would redl cm zip incase it has corrept browser in urs somehow. The on comp type in cmd:
Adb remount
Adb push "location of new browser.apk" /system/app (no ")
Adb sh reboot
In term on phone:
Su (allow)
Rwsystem
Cp /sdcard/"location of browser.apk" /system/app
Rosystem
Reboot

Have you tied going to app settings and clearing the data for the browser? This usually fixes browser force close.

Issue with market and apps

Hey guys...
I bought a new mini-SD card for my rooted G1. I have the latest CM on it. So now i decided to install my nandroid-backup.. but now i have a problem with downloading all of my old apps from android market. In the market it says that all of my apps are installed, though they aren't. In the app-list of my phone my old apps are still shown and when i click on them it says: This App is not installed on your phone (sorry i'm using a german g1, so i have to translate the messages). So as you can see, my problem is that I can't download any of my old apps from market and i can't delete those entries or like the "rest of the app thats still on my phone". Any ideas ? I don't want to factory reset my phone... cause i love the way it is now (except this issue haha)

Try this. There is a similar issue there the apps don't exist but the Market DB still does, which gives you the problem of not being able to install but cannot uninstall it, because it doesn't exist. Below should help you out.
Code:
Type - mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (enter)
Type - rm /data/data/com.android.vending/databases/* (enter)
Type - reboot (enter)

[Q] Skype Installation problem

Hi guys,
I can't install Skype on my SGS Froyo, it keeps saying 'Insufficient storage available' whereas I have plenty of free space. Any ideas beside factory reset?

Try looking from "Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications" if you have Skype there. Then just uninstall it and reinstall.
You could also try uninstalling it with Titanium Backup if that didn't work.

There is no record of Skype in Applications and my phone is not rooted. I guess I'll have to do a factory reset even though I'd sooner not to.

Had the same problem, but managed to solve it.
1. Root your device.
2. set USB debuging on the device
3. go to shell with adb
3.1 su
3.2 accept su on the device
3.3 rm -R /data/com.skype.raider
That it!
Worked perfectly for me.

Worked perfect for me also. Probably same dir but I was under /data/data/ and just removed the com.skype.raider directory. Rooting sure beats wiping all your crap out any day.

[Q] Help upgrading Market

I recently rooted my Nook color with Auto Nooter 2.12.25. It gave me the Google Market but it is the old one and it only displays 10 apps in portrait mode and some of the buttons have problems working. I read in a thread that the newer market fixes that and I downloaded an apk named com.android.vending02.apk but when I try to install it, the app manager doesn't have an install tab. I downloaded a 3rd party install manager and when I try to install it says that 'There is a problem parsing this package'.
I have read that people have installed the updated market but no one gives an explanation how. Does anyone know how do this? Thanks for your help.

Found solution
I found a solution.

Dont just post you found a solution, that helps no one. post what the solution was or atleast a link to the fix.

Good Call
I installed the APK at the top of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872621 and then reset my NC and the new Market worked. Apparently, after reading through the thread, this method doesn't work for everyone. There are further instructions that may be of some use.

Now my market isn't working. After trying to install this and switch back both times when I open market it just disappears.

I had the same problem on my 1.1.0 NC rooted with Decad3nce's V1.1.0_r2 [01/29/2011] method (there's a huge long thread on that in the Development forum). I was dreading the possibility of having to wipe the machine and start over, but I just re-flashed the zip file, and everything's working fine again. Unfortunately, I'm still stuck with the old Market.

If you're feeling like you can handle cmd-line stuff, try this method out.
First download the attached newmarket.apk
open/connect adb
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
exit
adb pull /system/app/Vending.apk (notice the cap V, also this will get put into your platform-tools folder. Back it up!)
adb push pathtonewmarket.apk /system/app/Vending.apk
adb reboot
Once you've rebooted then go into settings->applications->manage->all
Find the market and clear the cache
Then find google services framework and clear the data then force quit
reboot once more
After that the new market should work just fine.

Thanks Woot! does this work on Froyo 0.6.7 too?

I can confim that it does, I used it my self to get the new market installed.
If you're booting off of an SD card and want to install the new market there. All you need to do is change one line.
FROM: mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system (eMMC system partition)
TO: mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system (SD-card system partition)

[Q] adb install -r error

on CM7 nitely #64 w adb install issue:
adb install -r ${apkName} --CORRECTED THIS CMD WORKED FINE --
Above should replace. But I find that in order to force new app version that i have to do the following:
adb uninstall $PackageName
adb install ${apkName}
and that the first cmd ( uninstall ) deletes any sdcard data and any mySqlData bound to the app. It makes PIA to do alot of test cycles cause every time that the app cycles , you need to run a script to replace all the data.
My question ...
why isnt install -r actually doing a replace of the app?
Process Mgr does NOT show the app running. I dont know if its background cached or something. I always seem to pick up the old app version when i try to use 'install -r '
