Question about Stock browser !! - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

Hello,
On my N5120 (Samsung stock deodexed and rooted), my bookmarks in thumbnail view are displayed as in 2nd attached photo.
I tried AOSP browser, my bookmarks are displayed as in 1st photo. And, obviously, I prefer the way the bookmarks are displayed in AOSP browser.
My question: Is there a way to modify SecBrowser.apk in Samsung stock rom, so that the bookmarks be displayed as in AOSP browser.
(Maybe, by modding a file in res/layout?? But, which file and how??)
You may ask why I just don't use AOSP browser. The reason is CSC feature to add an exit button to browser does not work with AOSP browser.
Off course, if I can add an exit button to AOSP broswer, that's also fine for me. But, this seems more complicated.
Can any one help??

I have been trying to change in xml files in res/layout without success, which is normal as I don't know anything about programming....
I just had a thought! Maybe, the difference in the way that the bookmarks are displayed is in UI between Phone and Tablet.
Is there a way to set stock browser in Phone UI?

[MOD] Modified & LagFixed TouchWiz Launcher

As you know, in galaxy s when we install 4-5 page programs , lags is appear
The touchwiz launcher is lagy too and when we Turn pages the lags is apear
I decompile touchwiz.apk and i explore folders and in res folder i saw few folders that named xxxx-xxxx-1024x600 and i guess this names means 1024x600 pixel like galaxy tab and samsung create a touchwiz that could be use in galaxy s and galaxy tab!
I decided to deleted that folders had a 1024x600 in the last of name and i compile apk and push it to galaxy and i see that is work lagless and very fast and smooth
I made an update.zip of this modified touchwiz and upload in attachment
Guys you can test it and leave Comments on this topic
I forget something
I change the homescreen_menu_shortcut_bg.png with glass one and you can see in pic
What firmware versions does this work on?
Does it overwrite the default TouchWiz?
Is it compatible with any Lagfixes?
this launcher is last version of touchwiz that used in jpm/jp6 roms and must work on any version of roms
yes , this launcher is compatible with any lagfixes
I am sorry, what has been changed from default?
Lowered the resolution or something?
i think you should work with the guy that did the TW mod script:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792817
together you can hack tw and make it work better
Just flashed it via CWM on Voodoo-Doctor-Edition-JP6 and seems to be lagless flipping between pages. G8 job!
Amazing!!!!!!!!
It works!!!!!! Great Work!!!! This launcher is more fast, even using various widgets and an animated desktop. Thanks!!!!

No, based on what he wrote, he deleted icons and textures for use on Galaxy Tab. I wonder if it really does make it faster, though.
No effect here. Still laggy as hell.
EDIT: maybe it's because I'm using a lagfix? I have 5 pages of apps. Not that much if you ask me :S
Can you guys still uninstall apps from the drawer?
Last time I replaced TWlauncher I had lost this ability.
interesting.....
I recommend editing the LauncherConfig.java class to enable the fly in effect when opening the app menu, pretty nice.

My attachement contains a classes.dex which has the ability to uninstall (non system) apps from homescreen + fly in effect.
Remove .apk and .odex first, then push this to system. I always switch to an other launcher before doing that..
@Spike_M
When I delete all folders with 1024*600 in the name, apktool gives some errors..
On reboot touchwiz doesn't load - it gives me a fc error: The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly.
How do I go back to the original touchwiz?

Do you have adb enabled? Otherwise you have a problem..
I have adb installed, but my pc won't detect the phone when plugged in via usb.
It seems like the only solution is to flash another update.zip via recovery. An update.zip of the original touchwiz should work, if someone would be kind enough to put one together. I wouldn't know where to start...
Edit: or is there a way to install an apk via the recovery menu? Long shot, I know. I was thinking installing LauncherPro would bypass the fubar'd tw.
i use modified launcher and its work like a charm
for those guys want to get back original touchwiz
1- download update.zip in attachment and copy it to your internal memory
2- instal it from recovery 2e or cwm recovery

Thanks but I can't access the internal memory of my phone. Now what?
Tw launcher is definately faster now. Try pinch to zoom and see! It even made me consider reverting from launcher pro.. Great fix, thanks!
its not 100% perfect but youre as close as ive ever seen anyone come so far!
damn nice fix!
I think I noticed an small improvement with that fix: 55apps installed (6 pages in app drawer), but there is still some lag...
By the way I'm really glad that there is people trying to improve the performance of TW. I really like TW but the app drawer is laggy I'm still using froyo stock launcher...

[MOD] XXJVS stock browser - fullscreen - with user-agent selection and unlimited tabs

Hi there,
after some days of waiting for erics jvs-version, i started to port it by myself.
so here it is, the JVS 2.3.5 STOCK Browser -- FULLSCREEN -- with UserAgent selection and unlimited tabs.
Please notice, that it behaves identical to erics jvr-version here (so the useragent selection will be forgotten after browser is closed completely)
you can choose between cwm3 package and the raw apk file.
Attention: when you are using an odexed rom you have to delete the file system/app/browser.odex manually
after applying the cwm3-zip / copying the apk to system/app/
have fun!
Don't forget to click the Thanks button on the page if you like this mod.
Credits to eric75004 In Sri Lanka
for his previous mods.
ps:
dear rom-cookers, please be so kind to contact me prior including it into a mod and give credits to both of us, if you are going to use this file in your rom. thank you.
Thank You..
Great job!!
Thanks very usefull
Awesome, thanks

Just a curious question -
The browser by Eric is at around 821KB (the APK file). The browser.apk you modded is around 770KB. Do you know why the major difference ? Is it based (maybe) on a different build ? Maybe some missing resources ?
Just interesting in knowing...
thats a good question.
there are no missing or removed ressources, only changes in initial.titlebar.png in portrait and landscape folder (for better fullscreen experience)
so these two files are smaller than the files in erics version. i haven't checked but maybe these files are round about 50KB alltogether.
edit: i think both files are based on the same build: (as mine is) taken from stock deodexed samsung 2.3.5 jvs rom
thanks alot
Thanks!
Will issued a odex ver?
Use settings "Landscape view only" and reboot. Browser crash.
Could you enable "Desktop" as a default user agent? Tnx.
Could you mod JVU version please

Delete preset bookmarks in default jelly bean browser?

How do I delete preset bookmarks in the default jelly bean browser? I always get the message that they cannot be deleted. I also tried to move them to one folder and that was a no go. And no I do not want to run a differnt browser for various reasons. I appreciate any help.
I am running DarthStalker v.9
One of you young super geniuses knows how to do this. Please share. There must be a way. Help a guy out. Woody, mt3g, anyone?
Try this
I saw this on another forum. I think it is what you are looking for.
I found a solution to the locked bookmarks.
Requirements:
- Root access
- Root file explorer
- SQLite editor app
Steps
1) Open the SQLite database located at:
/data/data/com.android.browser/databases/browser2.db
2) Open the 'opbookmarks' table
3) Delete all the rows
4) Delete the bookmarks from the browser, like you would delete any other bookmark
It's as simple as that. Those rows correspond to the bookmarks in the 'bookmarks' table and (I guess) just put a lock on them.

You rang (in Lurch voice)?
Here is the thread that Flamnace got that from. Also there are two other methods in that thread on page two that might work as well.
you can edit system\csc\customer.xml (of the ROM your using then flash it after compressing)
on my STOCK SLIM rom, i remove the 9 default bookmarks, and add back in 2 (XDA-Q+A, XDA-Dev)
here is code notepad++ (around 177 start)
<Browser>
<CookieOption>accept</CookieOption>
<HistoryList>on</HistoryList>
<NbBookmark>2</NbBookmark> <!-- Orig 9, I Deleted 9 STOCK Bookmarks, added 2 back -->
<Bookmark> <!-- Custom Book Mark -->

Its easy first go to settings - application manager - scroll right to all - click on internet (stock web browser ) clear data than force stop. Re open web browser now u should be able to delete all stock bookmarks that came with it.

This worked, thanks. I honestly didn't think it was going to because I figured the bookmarks were embedded in the browser somehow, but it did. Kudos!
I do wish this site would stop redirecting me to Badoink, though. What the hell? I thought XDA was pretty legit.

[REQUEST] AOSP apps package Android L

I've been using the Android L port and I'm loving it. The only problem is that I hate all the official google apps. Plus the ROM only comes with Google photos. I really want to put something together once the ROM is more stable (although it really is good right now) that includes aosp style apps.
Does anyone know where I can get the apps? Can I just pull them from a custom ROM? Or can someone put together a zip that has a few aosp apps? I'm mainly thinking browser, gallery and a file manager, but suggestions are welcome.
EDIT: I was able to pull the apks out of another ROM, I chose the latest (7-20 at time of writing this) CM11 and put the files where they should be /system/app and I changed the permissions to match other files in the same location. Then I rebooted to recovery and wiped both caches. File manager (CM File Manager) and gallery worked fine, I can't figure out browser though. I found an app on the play store that was an AOSP Browser installer and tried that too, but browser keeps crashing on launch. So if anybody knows how to make AOSP browser install please enlighten me.
Thank you.

Samsung stock browser bookmark names are too big, in M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_TMB

I just flashed M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_TMB (4.4.4) stock ROM, rooted with CF SuperSu.
Problem is, in the Samsung stock browser, the bookmark names are too big! compared to what they were in 4.2.2.
How do I decrease the font size of the bookmark names?
