I'm wondering if anyone knows how to install the AOSP stock browser onto a rooted stock Sony SGP311? I prefer this browser than Chrome on Android tablets. I like Chrome on the computer but not so much on the Android version. Plus I would like to have flash support.
I've tried CM10.1 and the stock AOSP browser, which I loved but I missed the stock IR software, so I went back to stock Sony but rooted with unlocked bootloader.
Help?
not sure if aosp browser works on stock but u can try extracting the aosp browser from the cm10.1 zip and try copying it us root explorer or a similar app. copy and goes to systems/apps folder. paste it and change permissions to match the rest of the apps and reboot

Is it really that simple? I've tried installing our but it keeps saying that there is a parsing issue.
Can you force an app into the systems/app folder and reboot? I thought you had to install it and change some permissions on a couple of other apk files related to the browser.apk? Which I have also tried without success.

when u force the app.u need to change permission. yes u will always get parse issue since it is a pure system app that's all it will try to b. but i can't guaranteed aosp browser will work on stock..but check lightning browser out in development section. it looks good for stock.

Wierd, works fine on my rooted stock rom on my phone (Xperia Z), dont see wht it shouldnt work on rooted stock tablet. Dont have my tablet yet to try it out.
Edit: You could try emailing the author and he might have a update soon. I remembered that someone mentioned doing that for the phone some time ago and an update fixed it i believe.

Hey guys! the flash player in the market has been updated but if your on jelly bean it will say not compatible for your device! So I figured I would post it so us jelly bean users can side loaded it and watch flash on our super phones like we should! I tested it last night and for me works in stock browser just fine.
Works for me! On slim bean 2.6 on kkx kernel. Thank you for the dl

I installed the Flash player and went to a website with a flash enabled video and it still didnt work. Does this only work for the stock browser or is it system wide application?

Are you in stock browser? I'm getting note 2 next week! Flash better work in US version Or I'll be pissed!! does it work on other sites or nowhere at all?
so I just played with a US variant of the Galaxy Note 2. I loaded up my flash player on it and it worked in the stock browser so I feel a lot better now.
Alright, following This Guide I got Google now working.
To summarize what I did
1. Root phone using the Korean Root method
2. I unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM using Project FreeGee
3. I booted into CWM and installed This zip.At the I was writing this guide, I freegee was on version 0.5
4. My phone restarted and froze up about twice before finally staying booted. It seems to have normalized now.
edit:Right now most things seem to work.
If anyone finds a better version of Google now, please let me know and post the how-to.
I didn't make the zips and all I have done is follow the instructions and write down my personal experience. I give full credit to the author of the original post for their instructions/work they did. However, since the LGOG doesn't need project Butter, Google Now is the main thing we are missing from 4.1 and it should help ease the wait for a stable AOSP ROM. If anyone has any issues let me know and I'll make a list.

THis is great news. Right now I'm pondering whether to get this phone or the Note II, and Google now (which I have on my Captivate running SlimBean 3.0) is the one thing I really cannot imagine giving up.
Question: when you say that Calendar/settings alamrs don't work, do you mean that they don't work at all, or that they don't show up in Google Now?
I was referring to not working in Google now. Although i did manage to set an alarm with it shortly after this post.
Also fwiw I had the captivate too. I try to stick with nexus hardware.

Uninstall stock voice search with titanium backup or you will get problems with android keyboard. It makes it try use them both for voice typing. I'd assume it may be the cause of any and all problems.

One of the cards says there's an update available in the Play Store. When I go there it says my device is incompatible. Is there something we could tweak to the build.prop in order to get this update? Or will that mess things up due to the nature of how it was installed?
A mysterious file is always generated on my SD card no matter how many times I format it or delete the file. The file has an extension of "MOLOGIQ" and is usually named ".06ba141d-a652-464b-b7c2-0932d1a1402b.mologiq". I have a fear that it is a spyware application that's hidden in my phone. I really can't seem to get rid of it. Any help understanding this or getting rid of it is much appreciated. My phone is rooted, S-OFF, 4EXT. This occurs on any ROM/kernel and even with full wipes and formatting I can't seem to get rid of it.
Just from googleing it comes up as stealth mode start up advertising, which sounds like a load of crap, don't know how or where you got it but it don't sound good
thisis50.com if its hot its here
If a full wipe doesn't fix it, all I could suggest is formatting SD again, through your PC, then run the ruu

I'm a flashaholic if that's how you spell it. v.v
It shows up on any ROM I use. Even on the ROMs that have full wipe aroma, I've even used ROMCleaner, and all the wipes in 4EXT, including SD. Thanks for the suggestion guys. If anyone else has anymore I can try, you're more than welcome.
Can I use a logcat to detect this app? Maybe format or delete the file and turn on the logcat and then wait until a it returns and find the item in the log?

This is not even working fully yet. I lost track of this due to working on GPE ROM. When I have more time I can check why it is not fully working.
From what I have seen the only way to ad other devices would be for LG to allow it. LG encrypts their IR blaster so only devices listed in the quickset device profile work if LGs IR blaster unless someone can crack the encryption. You can search play store for quickset and install the version from play store to see if it has more devices but IR not working yet on AOSP based ROMs yet.

Oh okay, I take it the reason it was working before is because then I was on LG's ROM not an AOSP rom? If this is case, would the backup I made of the LG ROM be of any use? I could pull out the quick remote app or something.

I no longer have v500, returned it and waiting for my v510 to get here. Hopefully we can figure something out that works on both models.
If you check in the G2 themes and apps forum there is a way to get QRemote working with AOSP ROMs and maybe the same method and/or files will work on G Pad.

My friend got it working on his g2 by just download an apk, but trying to put that apk on a v500 (running cm11) unfortunately does not work.
I reckon you'd need a lot of LG framework in order to make this work on AOSP. I wont stop you tho, would be neat. ^^
