Hello there

I've got a 32gb rooted n7 running jb 4.2.2

I installed the stock browser in order to watch flash videos in full screen as I Firefox would always crash once I went to full screen, however every time I try and watch any flash video on the stock browser it totally freezes.

Now I've done all the work arounds I.e clearing the davlik cache, deleting the browserproxyprovider.odex

BrowserProxyProvider.apk files etc.

Can anyone suggest something I might have missed?

Oh I'm also on the stock rom. Just a bit frustrated as there are people out there that seem to be running it perfectly with similar setups to mine.

Thanks in advance.

browser.apk in op works fine on 4.2.2. just tested with latest flash player .47 4.0+ apk found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1848508

Working OK for me using Firefox.

Anyone had any joy getting Demand5 videos to play?

I keep getting "this protected content cannot be displayed on this mobile platform" message. Google search brings no answers so thought I'd ask thems that might know.

Any update on getting syncing capabilities on 4.2.2?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] blackhand1001:
Install cm10 or an aosp rom.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jorgemonstro1:
but still the problem, web example: http://www.ikkaro.com/como-hacer-globo-aerostatico

the only thing that prevents the forced closure is disabling add-ons.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jcse7en:
Well since my last message I flashed my nexus 7 to the paranoid android 3.00 rom which got the browser working perfectly.

However I then flashed the two latest nightly releases (23 then 24) and since then the same problem of freezing has occurred.

No matter what I do I can't get it to work.

Please can anyone suggest a solution as this is so frustrating.

That seems to have done the trick.

I'm running the 4.2.1 version, will that be an issue as I'm on jb 4.2.2?

Thanks

How come it keeps saying "there was a problem parsing the package"?

Another browser - the far superior AOSP Stock Browser
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tptp:
The browser does not auto-hide the location bar, it is there permanently. Is this normal behaviour? Any workarounds? It does so on my android phone. Quite irritating as it does take up quite a lot of space!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] sbdags:
Go to settings and enable quick controls
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tptp:
Thanks yes sorry forgot to mention, I would rather not use quick controls as I am also using GMD gesture control. Having said that, I think I've managed to adjust it so it can work.

But still, it should autohide without quick controls anyway right?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] sbdags:
I can't remember without checking but quick controls are second nature for me now. But yes if you have any swipes form the side setup with gmd gesture control you will get some conflicts I suppose.

Just checked - it only hides the address bar when scrolling down a page and obviously the tabs stay visible.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NinjaBurg3r:
I've got the stock AOSP on my Nexus 10 and am using it with quick controls and absolutely love it. Only issue I have with it, and perhaps something simple I overlooked, is how do you close open tabs when using quick controls? Would love to know!

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] sbdags:
Quick control, tab select icon, it's the x at the top. Similarly to open tabs slide up to the + icon
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NinjaBurg3r:
Thanks for the tip! Now that I've spent a little time with it and gotten used to the quick controls, I cannot go back! Plus, I love having all the extra screen real estate on my Nexus 10.

However, as lovely as quick controls are, there appears to be one bug I am getting while using them to enter a new web address or search. When I hit enter to go to my typed website, after the page loads the address bar stays at the top of the screen and will not go away no matter what I attempt. Any idea how to fix this?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] sbdags:
It's a bug in the older versions. It has been fixed in more recent ones.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NinjaBurg3r:
Darn, I thought I had the most up-to-date version :o

Do you have a link pointing to the most recent version I can flash on my Nexus 10?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] slybunda:
iv installed the 4.2.2 browser.apk but im having an issue where flash websites crash the browser making it freeze requiring a force close.

browser works fine if I disable addons in settings but then no flash works.

any fix?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] PVL_93_RU:
No there is no fix since 4.1 and above does not have a native Flash support
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] slybunda:
i have installed the flash apk file latest version. its working great with firefox browser. shame really.

although AOSP browser i find to be a lot better than chrome, pages are laid out better and i can have desktop user mode active all the time. insted of with chrome manual requesting desktop version of sites i go to.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] slybunda:
hmm been reading there is a massive security flaw with AOSP browser its passwords stored in plain text and can be exploited easily. probably gonna stick with chrome till AOSP browser is updated.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NinjaBurg3r:
I recently flashed the newest version of CM10.1 on my GS3 and it came with the AOSP Browser v4.2.2 and it works flawlessly. I've got AOSP v4.2 installed on my stock rooted Nexus 10. To get the newest version on my N10, I thought I could make a copy of the newest apk in system/app from my S3, copy that over to my N10 into its system/app, change the permissions to rw-r-r, reboot and voila! Unfortunately, while it appears to have installed, it force closes every single time I try and open it. I even went so far as to completely remove the old version before trying with this new one.

Anybody else had better luck?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] slybunda:
probably got to delete the browserproxyprovider file.

also i noticed on cm10.1 on the galaxy s2 and s1 both have 4.2.2 browser yet flash works fine on both of them but on nexus 7 flash freezes the browser up.

wondering if i should take the apk out of the cm10.1 build and replace it on the nexus 7 and see if it makes flash work.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] donaldjl:
Well, I've wrestled with the same force-close issues, and I'm probably moving on. I'm running Flash 11.1.115.47 on the 4.2.2-eng.d4rkn3ssys.20130215.011710 and it's just not stable. Also, strangely, in the menu, an entry between the Share Page and Request Desktop Site says, "Requested by %1$s(%2$s)." What the heck is that all about?

I've tried this version of Flash on the 4.2.1 browser, and even the previous Flash on both browsers. No joy in Mudville.

I'm running 4.2.2, unlocked and rooted, and would really like this thing to just work. Any recommendations for other combinations that may work? Uninstall everything and try the AOSP Browser Installer route? Go third party like Firefox, Opera, Puffin, or some such thing?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] slybunda:
Iv got Firefox installed now for flash usage. Not ideal but its functional
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Warren_Orange:
Is anyone getting a lot of 'browser is unresponsive' pop ups and then the browser grinds to a halt? I love AOSP browser but this is doing my head in.

Does anyone support this browser with updates?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dawabz94:
No such issue here

Only issue (rather an annoyance than a real issue) is that the Browser keeps asking me to loggin my google account

Can't rename BrowerProviderProxy.odex anymore

Hi,

So I used the method of renaming BrowserProviderProxy.odex to get the AOSP browser to work for a while now.

I wanted to do OTG update since 4.3 is now out.

But I can't rename the BrowserProviderProxy.odex anymore and it says "Read-only File system" when I use ES file explorer.

Can anyone tell me what to do to get it done?

THANKS!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dawabz94:
Hi, tried to remount /system in 'rw' mode before trying to rename ?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] no1wafer:
That works!

Thanks!

But the OTA still didn't work unfortunately so I flashed the image as a whole
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] flyers27:
I tried disabling javascript also and i still get the "browser isnt responding" message... Anyone have any ideas for 4.3 flash player? All sites just freeze and give me that message.

Just an overview... I updated to 4.3, then installed the asop browser with the apk method from this thread:

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] BootlegZani:
Well time to root since I still prefer AOSP Browser over Firefox Aurora or Dolphin.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mewantnexus7:
Just a slight correction: You'll want to delete BrowserProxyProvider.apk and BrowserProxyProvider.odex, not Browser Provider.apk and Browser Provider.odex. Otherwise amazing work! Also Flashify is pretty great.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Censura_Umbra:
It may vary. Mine is browserproviderproxy. But I don't see the proxy unless I open properties
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] blackhand1001:
EOS in the original development section is what your looking for.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mewantnexus7:
Oh ok, why is this?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Censura_Umbra:
I haven't updated my tablet from the original build, that may be why. Either way I think people figured out which to deal with.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] rex05:
Works perfect Thanks!!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] David Horn:
Actually, it's simpler than that. Depending on the file explorer you use the name is abbreviated in just the right way to appear as "BrowserProvider". :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Censura_Umbra:
No, I knew that. I thought I was being asked why mine had proxy at the end instead of the middle.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Pinshooter:
Hey OP! You done good, son... Thanks
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] sharp2G:
on a scale from 1-10 ho does this method perform, 10 being the exact same experience like on ICS with no hiccups st all with flash videos.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] psouza4:
Only problem is none of the input methods/keyboards work, so I can't login or anything using AOSP browser. Thoughts?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] sharp2G:
mind making a youtube video of this, what flash content looks like on some sites without force closing and such?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] demandarin:
Thanks OP. This worked perfectly. This browser is pretty fast on nexus 7.

One thing to note though. For people still locked, this will likely cause your OTA updates to fail. Reason being you modified a system file and added an app in there. OTA updates run check to make sure everything is still stock(in system/root files), when it detects a change, update fails to install. MANUAL installation of update overrides this. Just something to remember once update rolls around and people wondering why is it failing. I'm not saying it will 100% for sure fail, but there's a good chance. Just like when you do build.prop edits.

I'm unlocked n rooted so no worries for me ;)

Flash will go fullscreen just fine. At least it does for me, with this browser and flash. I tried out YouTube desktop website and some other sites. It let me enlarge the video just fine and went to full screen. It played fullscreen properly, not squished or anything like that.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] desiresiscool:
I have had no problems with this browser what so ever. Everything works including full screen flash video

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Censura_Umbra:
Never heard of that issue, so I'm not sure what the issue is? Are you using stock keyboard?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Censura_Umbra:
That is because we had to remove that feature to get it working.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Visual360:
I have this working as a browser I suppose, but flash still doesn't work.

Or does it, but only on certain sites? Doesn't make sense I guess, but anyone tried going to ESPN.com or Break.com? This site working for you guys?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Censura_Umbra:
Break.com worked fine. Did you install the latest flash player?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Radioslave:
I've got the same issue here, i must be missing something.

I got the browser installed, deleted the browserproxy apk's and the browser works. Went to 1mobile and got the latest Flash APK, installed, rebooted, still no go for flash in the browser.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Censura_Umbra:
Did you use the browser in the op?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tracerit:
is this AOSP Browser any different from say "Quick ICS Browser" or "ICS Browser+"?

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Censura_Umbra:
This is stock, straight from an aosp jb rom. An pics browser may or may not work. Either way you will still probably have to delete the browser proxy items mentioned in the op

I rooted my nexus 7, downoaded and installed the ASOP browser, changed the permissions, renamed the proxy and the other file, went to mobile1 and downloaded and installed flash11.1 but it is still not running flash.

any thoughts as to what i've missed?

OK so I found a version of flash player which when installed, worked like a charm. Says its 11.1 as well but why knows.

After some time of using the browser,

It starts to become unresponsive and I get this message, especially when going to a website like theverge.com

"The page has become unresponsive.

Do you want to close it?"

Kinda a shame really. I really love the quick controls. I guess i"ll have to stick to dolphin.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] sharp2G:
not as good as i expected. then again flash is dead soon.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Censura_Umbra:
Ha, almost every entertainment website I want to visit still uses flash
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] thevuman:
Anyone who says flash is dead soon is a fool (no offense), especially when 90% of the Internet still uses flash
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] sharp2G:
perhaps I should clarify. what I meant is that as of Aug 15 flash will be removed from the play store and will not support devices above 4.0 ICS. yes some of the sites I go to do use flash, but flash on Android is soon going bye bye because realistically is it stable to use flash on jelly bean? it works, but you see a lot of FC. just saying that Apple and HTML5 has won.

btw flash on mobile was the reason for why I switched to android in the first place.

Can anyone help me figure out why the apk wont move? I rooted and am using root explorer with, I believe, root permissions..
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Censura_Umbra:
Not sure, I use es explorer in that app, you need to check:

-up to root

root explorer

Mount as writable

Etc

You probably need to mount the folder as writable
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] 1jklange:
Okay thank you. I got the file to move but now when I go to install it in the system/app folder it says there was a problem parsing the package.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Censura_Umbra:
Did you change the permissions yet? If so just restart the tablet and the browser should be in your app drawer, if not the permissions are rw-r--r--

Or

R. R. R

W - -

- - -

Depends on if your explorer places the words in columns or rows
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] nickles96:
You don't actually install it. By placing it in your system\app folder, it will initialize when you boot up.

Read the OP again word for word.

This works like a champ!! Very very happy!

Strange, my bookmarks sync is not working. Is this a known issue?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Censura_Umbra:
Bookmarks sync is what caused the complication initially. That is why we remove browserproxys to remove bookmark sync. If you want book mark sync you should use chrome.

I use chrome for everything then use the app called flashify to easily open any flash page in the browser just by sharing it from chrome.

Plus the nexus asks very nicely with almost every link whether you want chrome or browser. If you know it is flash choose browser.

However if you want to fix the bookmark sync I imagine the issue is with an interference from the chrome bookmark sync. (Not sure why as they both sync fine on cm9 for my phone)

But to fix that you would probably have to data wipe the nexus to remove accounts and such, then remove all chrome related things from system/app. Then install the browser without removing browser proxy

I'm not sure if this will work 100%

And I have no desire to test it because

A) I don't want to wipe my tablet again

B) I like chrome

But if anyone decides to try it, please let us know how it went and I will update the op
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Ray1:
I like chrome too. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] pilayo:
The paranoid ROM has the aosp browser with bookmark sync also you can install chrome and have both browsers with bookmark sync

Regards
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Censura_Umbra:
So it is probably something to do with how chrome is integrated into the system. Maybe try deleting chrome, then installing from the market
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Censura_Umbra:
Update: you don't have to get rid of boh browser proxies to have browser work, only the .odex file

I tried removing chrome and only deleting the odex file. Now browser can auto sign in but I still don't see any bookmark syncing. My widget is showing the defaults. Perhaps if someone tries installing browser before signing into any Google accounts.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
I finally got FF Beta working (no root). Just download from Play store and install. Side load the Adobe Flash from this thread. "Enable" plug ins (change default setting). Restart. Now I can watch Epix movies through Firefox, and they look great. I still like Chrome better, but I may try to get use to the odd bookmark set-up in FF. It would be nice to set a home page, or edit the way bookmarks look.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] rudolphe:
I installed the browser and when I ran it the first time it force closed over and over. I rebooted the device now I can't see the browser in the app drawer.

I deleted it, changed all the file names that reference browser and re added it. Checked and double checked permissions and still won't show up in the drawer.

Any idea what might be causing this?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Censura_Umbra:
Did you put it in /system/app

?

Not data/app

Are you on a ROM?

Did you delete the browserproxyprovider.apk and odex?

Yes it's in /system/app.

Im not on a rom.

I have deleted the files.
