Browser missing Google bookmarks - Verizon HTC One (M7)

When I updated my HTCOne to 4.4.2 I'm missing my Google bookmarks on my stock browser. . I don't really like using the chrome browser. I've done a master reset and still the same. I'm not rooted. 100% stock. How can I fix this?

I believe google discontinued syncing bookmarks and browser data. They no longer offer the service.

I am rooted and running santods stock debloated rom and I too did not have my bookmarks in the stock browser. i like the stock browser because it still has quick controls which chrome had but took out. I found the zip to install ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter apk via recovery on this site and then was able to turn on the bookmarks sync from within my account.
I am not sure if you can take the apk from within the zip and do a side install on unrooted or not since it has been awhile since i have been unrooted on any phone i have had. If you can get that apk installed then you will be in business.

Thanks for the info guys!

m.guardian.co.uk displays as raw HTML on my new Arc S

This is bizarre. I have a brand new Arc S which will not display the following website correctly:
http://m.guardian.co.uk
Instead it displays the raw HTML. If I try http://www.guardian.co.uk instead then the browser seems to try and be clever and look for the 'm.' version and hence I can't access the site at all.
I upgraded the device to Android 2.3.4 using the SE PC software and a still have the issue. I am now on the latest build - 4.0.2.A.0.42.
Here are the other things I've tried:
Reset the browser settings to default.
Cleared the browser cache.
Cleared the Browser data/cache.
Rooted (using zergRush), used Titanium Backup to remove browser.apk and installed a browser.apk file from a zip containing 4.0.2.A.0.42 I found here on XDA.
This site works fine in Opera or Dolphin so I have no idea why the stock browser won't handle it. It also doesn't have a setting to control it from looking from mobile sites ("m."). I'm not running any AV software and there are no unusual processes running (I've removed all the crapware using TB).
Can I replace the browser.apk with the stock Android (AOSP?) version and see if that works? My last phone was a HTC Desire GSM running 2.3.7 Oxygen and this site worked fine.
Very, very odd. Any advice welcome!
Here is how it displays:

Systemapp deleted

Hey, i deleted one of the system apps in gb 2.3.6 stock rom. But i don't know which app it is...
Here is a screenshot:

I think it should be Latitude.
Can someone upload the apk please?

I don't think latitude is provided as a stand alone app....
I'm pretty sure you get it when you install Google Maps. So you have 2 options.......
1) see if it's possible to update your Maps package in an attempt to re install latitude (although I'm not sure if that's possible)
2) Completely delete the WHOLE Maps package and do a clean download/install.....don't try to delete individual package components, just delete maps and your phone SHOULD remove it all. Then just re install from the Android Play Store......
Finally (I'm assuming you're rooted otherwise it wouldn't have been possible (?) to delete latitude) install Gemini App Manager (free) or Titanium Backup (paid) from the play store....both of these will allow ROOTED users to FREEZE unwanted/un-needed bloatware rather than deleting it...it's a lot safer as it's completely reverse able .....
Hope this is some help to you......

Remove last update

So hopfully someone knows an answer to this, the li3 update messed up my keyboards so bad. Auto correct and all that is broken. Swype doesnt even do it besides while swyping. How can i go to the previous update? All li3 did was destroy the keyboard. Nothing else

You could find the image of LG8 and flash that. You could also remove the version of Swype that came with LI3 and install the latest Swype beta. This requires that you are rooted. I did this and the beta Swype works fine.
There are procedures for removing Swype around. The involve using something like Root Explorer and deleting /system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so, then rebooting. Once you have done this you can download the swype installer from beta.swype.com and use the latest version.
Would flashing the lg8 update require root

Try Swype beta the installer is fixed now. No removing the old Swype , you can have birth installed.

Any ideas?
Do you have the Scotiabank app installed? Happened to me with both the D852 (Rogers) and D855(Global). After I uninstalled the Scotiabank app, all was fine.
Bingo!
It would have been in the bulk down load list from the backup restore from google..
I just factory reset and manually added my google accounts.. Selected apps i wanted.. No issues.. The screen grab from above only appears after scotiabank app is installed.
Good find.
Uninstalled scotiabank and play store behaves...
Kitkat issue for scotiabank app i guess?
Glad to hear it worked. This is the same squishpig btw. For some reason the account I created on my phone Sat to answer this, isn't working :/
I was thinking of contacting the developers on the play store to let them know their app needs a fix.
Actually i did contact them.. They have no clue. Said i had to many apps.. Its a new phone with 64gigs of space for f sakes..
THAT SAID....... The app got an update on aug 9th.. I just installed it and the above issue is now gone..
That's awesome! I'm going to dl it right now Thanks!!

N5 opening links in messages

I can't for the life of me figure out how to get my phone to stop opening links in the stock messages.
Rather than open it up in chrome (my preferred browser) it opens in a window inside messages and I have the option at the top to open in chrome if I choose.
Where is the setting to change that?
It opens up in a screen like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Currently, I don't think there's a way to change this other than hitting "more" then choose Open in Browser. I saw a thread on this a few months back but never saw a solution.
I thought mine didn't do it until I changed something. Idk I can't remember

For me, it started with the MM update
Ah, that's it! That's when it started. I didn't realize that until now. Thanks

It's not opening in Samsung browser. It's opening using "Android System Webview"
Freeze android system browser and the stock Internet browser.
I tried freezing that stuff but it didn't work.
