Hi there,
I was about to install some tings on my htc diamond, but when i try to run the .xml from my htc, somehow it wants to open with Opera, and keeps opening the program, how do i change that, and what should i open with instead ?
Regards
.xml
.xml files will always be opened with the default web browser on your device (which is Opera on the Diamond)... unless you've changed the default browser settings.
If you're wanting to edit the file you're talking about, you can do that in any text editor. With regards to 'running' an .xml, that's what your web browser does.
sounds like you have extracted the .cab file
dont. just copy the .cab to your diamond, and run it from the diamond.
a .cab file is a self installing file (like you can do with .zip on a PC)
how can i make the Dolphin HD browser the browser.apk
i kno i gotta delete the browser.apk then copy the new one in. but do i jus rename the dolphin browser to browser.apk ???
yes.... or you can just delete regular browser, leave dolphin named the way it is, the first time its run it will ask if you wanna make it the default....
At first when I was using the stock web browser gif images were working but now they don't. Is there anyway to fix this?
Are you still using the stock browser? Have you tinkered with any settings?
I've been using dolphon hd for the browser for awhile now, so I forget what all is in the settings menu for stock, but in dolphin, there is an option to disable flash completely, enable on demand, and enable all the time. I reckon just go into the settings and browse through all the setting subfolders and look for any options about flash or images and try to find out what's wrong.
Or, pull the browser.apk from any of the ROM builds on here and transfer it to your phone, use root explorer and go to system>apps and delete the browser.apk from there, then back out of that menu, and find the browser.apk you just transfered to your phone, and copy and paste it back in the system>app folder.
Ok I'll try that. Thanks.
I just updated to 4.2.1 and rooted
I really hate Chrome and miss the stock AOSP browser I was using on CM10
Is there an easy way to set up that basic/stock browser? Key word "easy" unless I can get some really good step-by-step instructions.
I think loading flash is as easy as installing an APK at that point.
Thanks!

follow the instructions written by Spannaa and use the browser apk attached to turbotab's post.
good luck :good:
if ya need additional help; step by step let me know tbh
jt.one is right. You just need root, a file manager like Root Explorer (superb paid app), ES File explorer or Astro (both free), and the browser.apk from the link above.
1. Rename the 2 BrowserProxyProvider files in /system/app by appending a .bak extension on them.
2. Copy Browser.apk into the /system/app folder.
3. Set the proper permissions (check permissions on another app to see what it should look like).
4. Sideload flash after downloading it from the Adobe website if you don't have it already installed.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I'm unclear what the proper order is to do this.
OR easier yet......
download the latest Dolphin browser from the market...
and navigate to:
data/data/mobi.mgeek.Tunny/Browser/shared_prefs/
using root explorer or equivalent and delete:
mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser_preferences.xml.
Thus re-enabled flash in dolphin.......:laugh:

Excellent instructions. I'm about 90% with you, except for #3. I know how to assign permissions, but am unclear about the part to check permissions on another app. Just any old app? So for example I browsed to /system/app and found GoogleEarth.apk. Its permissions are
rw- r-- r--
So browser.apk will have those exact permissions?
Thank you!!!
UPDATE: The download file is browser.zip am I to rename this to APK?

Good video, but it revealed something very important that's missing....
the fact that you can't use bookmarks in the stock browser..... they won't work.
That kills it for me.
Now i'm not sure what to do. Keep Chrome, but not have flash? I use flash-embeded sites almost regularly (just came from CM10) but it was pretty unstable...
Whoa partner. Bookmarks work just fine with the AOSP browser. At the upper right in the browser there is a heart (add bookmark), magnifying glass (search) and an icon with a star in it (bookmarks). It came with many common links, espn, cnn, twitter, facebook, etc. and it is easy to add them. Any page you want to bookmark, just hit the star to add it. I don't think it will sync your existing Chrome bookmarks, but once you manually add them, you can back them up with Titanium backup so you won't have to add them again. Flash works perfectly with the aosp browser and it is fast.
Yes, set the permissions the same as GoogleEarth (long press, permissions). Must be in r/w mode not read only to view or change permissions. The top 3 should be checked for 'Read' and just the top one for 'Write'.
I d/l the browser.apk link in the second post to my computer and it came through as browser.apk. Then I copied it to my phone. If you got browser.zip, did you d/l it directly to the phone? The file that must be copied into /system/app is browser.apk. Look at the browser.zip and see if it can be unzipped and contains browser.apk. If not, try renaming it to browser.apk

You're absolutely correct. I don't know what the guy in the vid was talking about. I was able to get stock browser installed, flash installed, set up bookmarks, set up non-chrome bookmark widget...so the stock bookmark widget which is far superior to Chrome.
Everything the way I like it. Thanks for pointing that out. That's awesome.
THANKS TO EVERYONE ON THIS POST WHO WAS SO QUICK TO HELP OUT. I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY
Learned a lot today too!!
Hello.
Successfully rooted note 10s, but if i try to edit build.prop file in system or vendor folder, i take a zero length file...
How it can be edited?
1. use a decent file manager (i reccomend Material Files)
2. you need to remove some useless stuff, or else it won't save
Try X-plore. Just set to show hidden files.
i use root browser
work for me root browser
