Here's a working Deodexed Browser.apk from the ThreeUK build.

the sim-free xZ come with Chrome as default,

some people prefer the normal android browser (I Like both, so use this and chrome beta :cowboy: )

it does have some features that chrome doesn't such as full-screen and quick-controls.

to install : You will need ROOT !

on an unbranded rom, you will need to remove

system/app/chrome.apk

system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.apk

Possibly remove

data/app/Chrome apk

data/data/com.android.browser.provider

otherwise you could get issues with conflicting package names.

then push this to system/app and chmod to 644

Appears you need chromebookmarksyncadaptor as well to get synced bookmarks

cheers r1c4rd0 for that :)
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] broke23:
Lost with last step then I think "push this to system/app an chmod to 644 ?"

edit: got it, but still not working (rw-r-r)
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] fards:
copy the browser.apk in root explorer to system/app/ and set the correct permissions to the same as the other files in there rw-r--r- (or 644 as a code) :silly:
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] broke23:
done that (see edit) but still not working, can not install that apk ...

this works, I have it running here right now, I'm using it to reply to this..
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] reptile64:
OMG OMG OMG I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!! It's working!!!!! :D :D :D THANK YOU!!!!!

BTW I found a little flaw, It doesn't connect with my google account, u know, to sync bookmarks etc. :/

yeah I noticed that this morning, will have a look and see why at some point.

got it, but when trying to open up it forcesloses (though on background you see page loading (something from sony)

on an unbranded rom, you will need to remove

system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.apk => renamed

Possibly remove

data/app/Chrome apk

data/data/com.android.browser.provider => renamed

Hi, i have try to install this browser in my xperiaZ but don't work.

So i have a firmware stock (.434) with root permission.

I have remove the file: "Chrome.apk" and "BrowserProviderProxy.apk" from /system/app

I have copy with root explorer the file "Browser.apk" in /system/app and i have setting permission with -rw-r--r--

But now if i try to install the browser the system tell me an error: "Application not installed" and if i go to drawer i don't see anything...

[MENTION=265575]fards[/MENTION],

Thanks for the browser shared in this thread. The CM10 browser I had on the Inc S gave me the option to choose duckduckgo as the default search engine. Can this be done on the stock / AOSP browser?

Dead cookies leave no trails...
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] LBTaylor1984:
Good job with the user agent,

however google.com whether desktop or android useragent it still displays results in the mobile view, i.e. a thin width column

any ideas?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] fards:
Don't think that's possible, but you could try

about:debug

then

menu > more > settings and see if the option to change search engine is there.

That used to work on older versions.

EDIT:: Just checked, that's not an option anymore.. although debug does allow you to change UA strings.

if not then maybe set duckduckgo as your homepage?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] demon2112:
Is it anyway possible to get this to sync with the google account

Edit:never mind..found fix ;)
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] rayblo:
Can you tell me how please
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] zirado:
Okay, since it looks like no one got the sync thing down, I'll spill.

1. Download ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk

2. Push it to /system/app/

3. Change permissions to rw-r--r-- (not sure if necessary, but do it anyway)

4. Restart

5. Go into Settings -> Google Account

6. Select the account you want to sync

7. Check browser to turn bookmarks sync on

8. Fire up Browser. Tada!

Hi !

As i see on Lookout Blog , the last update seems to solve the issue (lockscreen bypass).

I wonder why this fix dont exist,

but alone

, not include in a antivirus (i'm like anti "antivirus" for Android lol). I guess it must be possible if the lookout developpers can include in their app.

Somebody know more about it ? :)

If you want to use an img, use heimdall to flash it, otherwise create a tar/tar.md5 and flash it with odin
