[Q] mod or change browser apk - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way I can mod or change the apk on the EC05 Froyo. I cannot stand it. Its always restarting itself even without a force close notification. It makes the phone go soo slow and it only has 4 windows. The stock Enclair browser was so much better. I really don't want to use an alternative like dolphin browser. Please if anyone can help, please do.

If your rooted, push the browser from an eclair rom to /system/app/

Why don't you give a custom ROM a try? SRF has a modified CM6 browser with no checkerboarding, no slow, no crash, no window limit, and Incognito available!
If you must, you can extract that APK from SRF. But why do that?

use Miren (MIUI) Browser.... Blacked Out

I would but I really don't want to wipe my data.
Can I just extract the browser and push it to /system/app? Just like that?

You don't have to wipe your data! SRF automatically backs up and restores your data. It's a seamless flash from stock EC05! And help is always available in our IRC channel.
Yes, you can do that.

I tried just replacing the browser apk in root explorer but I got the force close pop up. Any ideas?

What did u replace it with? Goto applications under setting and wipe browser data then try

I did that and I still got the force close. any other suggestions

What's wrong with using an alternative? I wiped my browser from the rom's zip and put dolphin mini instead in the zip

I have given up I think I might just end up using SRF. So just install from zip no wiping data or cache or anything like that?

No need unless you have issues.

I installed it without wiping anything and my phone never booted past the samsung screen. So I restored to stock ec05 with odin then I restored one of my backups.
Well anyways how can I flash to syndicate rom from rooted ec05 and still keep my data?

You're not on CWM3. You have to re-root with the newest CWM to flash SFR.

I meant why not use an alternate like dolphin? All browser settings can be set to dolphin as default browser.

HULU+ apk

Yippee!
Install this sucka and enjoy your HULU PLUS account as you should on your device, trouble free.
If you do have trouble with the never-ending buffer, as shown in attached pic, unblock ads via host files.
Just open up Adfree and click revert. And there go you ;] took me a day to figure that out hehe.

Credit goes to jase33 for this Titanium Backup method if the apk does not work for you. Just extract into the Tianium Backup folder and restore =]

Correct, TB needs root to operate. If you want the best way to root, completely stock with root, and keeping your own kernel,

Got it to work. The Hulu.apk did not install. If you have super user installed and Titanium working properly then do the following:
Extract the 3 files in Hulu Backup-1.zip to the location of your Titanum back ups and then restore.
I had to use the task killer to kill titanium, it was stuck in the restoring screen. Hulu is working like a charm!

Yup, just extract the files into the titanium backup folder in your SD and search for it inside Titanium.
I got it launch the app after using the restore method. However, when I try to watch anything it says buffering and then after a bit it says that I am having network issues eventhough I am connected via my wifi and browsing hulu to find the show I want to watch. Any ideas how to fix this?

The restore method worked perfect for me also. The buffering is caused by the ad block on your phone. You will need to delete the hosts file in system/etc.
Do you need a certain rom?? I can't download it from my phone and I downloaded it to my computer end then to my phone and can't do, any thing from thst either....

Hmm fresh wipe of what, data/cache/dalvik? Even if you had adfree before, blocking ads, it would still be blocked without having the app because the host file is in /system so anything short of factory reset/Odin wouldn't change this.
Download again adfree and press revert.

tried the apk from that thread.... made some progress, now i can watch movies that have no commercials. oddly enough, tv shows will play the commercials and then crap out when it comes time to load the video.
I had a stock hulu apk working with a stock/rooted rom, no such luck after moving to a custom rom.
Wait, I thought I flashed the landscape version, reverted ad free and it was working...let me double check

I am running the latest Blazer rom and after I install Swype beta it doesn't open when the keyboard is suppose to.
Any ideas?

I pushed the Swype from syndicate ice rom and all of the sudden I had the same problem I used root explorer went back to the apk and installed it again and now it's working again hopefully this helps?

Use titanium to uninstall, then try again. For some reason I had to do it twice though.
After uninstalling with Titanium Backup, reboot the phone then install the Swype Beta. Works for me every time.
Ah the reboot is probably why i needed to do it twice. Thanks.

Another thing to try is use Root Explorer to delete the libswypecore.so file from system/lib/ I had to do this and then install the new beta and then it works.

Backing up contacts? Those should be with google good friend. If you're saving them to the phone instead of through Google, well, I don't know why you would do that.
Did you use Titanium Backup at all? That will probably help with apps and their corresponding data. And no, there is no way to get back to your old nandroid without a PC. You HAVE to use Odin to go back to EC05 and from there, after you one-click root, you should be able to restore your nandroid assuming you're still using the same version of CWM you made the backup with.

If you are using the EpicMTD CM 7.2.0 RC0 Rom, I had the same problem. You need to go here

Scroll down till you see GAPPS and download that zip file and flash it in CWM.

Just install one and then go into theme chooser and apply it! Simple as that!

How to Re-Install Stock System Apps

I accidentally erased my stock calendar (running Stock FD26 ROM). When I try to re-install the calendar apk (TW and not the Stock ICS calendar that can be found on CM9/AOKP), it will not work.
Many people on xda and other forums have said to copy the apk via root explorer to system/app, check all permissions then reboot.
I copied and pasted the apk to system/app, checked all permissions, and reboot. Nothing happens. This also happened with the voice recording app. Can anyone give me some advice?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I am sure someone can help you but personally to be quick about it shouldnt Odining over a stock build replace all the system apps? Certainly would undo other things you have done. Sfhub one click odin the same version use the no data one.
So i disabled it when I was on FC24. I used sfhubs no data wipe to get FD26. I guess I could try again.

Whenever you flash the FD26 OneClick, it will reinstall all the apps that came with FD26. If you flash the NoData, it'll keep your existing data partition.
Therefore, if you flash the NoData version, the calendar apk should be put back in place.

Try pulling the mms.apk from the original ROM, push it to system/app over the old one, set permissions and reboot.
Good luck!
