So if you have the phone that's locked to three, it has the stock browser installed?

Yeah it appears some Carrier branded roms have the Stock browser. I know O2 Ireland included it with their version.

I heard that before, many people have the stock browser too!!! I can't understand why. Sony decided to exclude it from many regions.

jb has chrome as stock from what I understand..
come across a snag, chrome is using the same name, so will need removing
I don't have root so can't test that.
see if this works for you.

Unfortunatelly it doesn't work! We need a nasty root access to do such things... so we gotta wait!

It was uploaded as an apk, so your browser has renamed it I guess.
So yup rename it to apk .

Ok,
Sorted out the problem (was trying to do it in Windows, now I'm back on a proper OS it's fairly simple to fix )
so here's a working Browser. .
Works for me at least!
I think you'll also need to remove/rename BrowserProviderProxy.apk in system/app/

try removing data/app/chrome apk (in case you updated it)
and data/data/com.android.browser.provider
maybe even data/data/com.android.browser although that should get overwritten..
If not can you get me a logcat? it didn't even need a reboot here.

well, i have already removed chrome through titanium backup, so uninstalled, nothing to be done there
renamed both files you said, and then tried installing the APK which won't install ...
about logcat, need to search how to do that

Worked for me, cheers. I was crashing initially but a restart sorted it. Nice to have the proper browser back. Was missing Quick Controls.

Fixed Flash 10.2 for Hulu

I've modded the leaked flash 10.2 to work with Hulu.
http://www.multiupload.com/HUTOFN3O0A
Uninstall the other version before installing this.
You'll need to change your useragent to desktop as well in the browser. (see here).
This is largely untested, but should work. Let me know if you have any problems.
I'll try it. Thanks.
Just tried it and it looks like it works. Didn't get to watch anything due to being on vzw 3g and hulu said it is not fast enough for ads. Thanks tho!
As soon as I get to Wi-Fi I will reply back here on if it works successfully.

It works great. For better performing video playback on hulu, go to http://www.hulu.com/widget/player instead of the main site.

Modified one doesn't work for me. I can't see any flash content at all. Tried many things including uninstall, reinstall, clear browser data, restarts between etc, nothing I can do to make it work. Back to the original version.

You have to change libflashplayer.so to report WIN instead of AND. You can do this with a hex editor. I also tried to make a modified apk, which I posted in the other thread but I found it only works if you install the official flash player first, and it only works until you reboot and then you have to install both again. I haven't tested the one in this thread so I don't know if it has the same issue.
I think if you have root you can just replace libflashplayer.so and be good to go though. See my comments here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12038563&postcount=74

Also for those that its not working did you do the about:debug then settings desktop

Here's a silly question.. Is there any possible way to use S-Voice in GB? I know that it only works on ICS and JB, but just wondering..
If there's a jellybean emulator for gingerbread the maybe it is possible but still chances are extremely slim

I'm pretty sure you'll have to copy the browser.apk file to your system/app folder and then reboot your device. You'll need to be rooted to do so

It is the same app but it was updated since it was first included in earlier roms. You could download an older stock rom and extract the apk if you need an older version.

I didn't have a file manager in my stock rom. I do miss a Sony file manager that blends in with the rest of the UI... What region of rom did you have? Was it a branded rom or generic?
Sony never released his own file manager... You just used branded version of stock.

Hi Funky,
alright this app works flawlessly I also tried the other apps from the same developer they work just fine
Do you have any idea how can I remove the gestures one that we installed from the Z2 port? I flashed it from recovery but I don't know how to remove it. Because this app is much better than that one

Why?
I flash those lib and apk files after I installed this app from market.
It can only be advantage to have those files
If you have app smart calling just uninstall it.
If you still want to "uninstall" all files you've flashed.
Open that zip file on PC (or on phone but it's easier to compare when you open it on other device/PC)
And you'll see what files you should delete.
Delete them and that's all
