Miss the old browser

Here you go

 

doesn't work, FC if you enter a url

 

It works fine for me. I've uninstalled the new browser and then I used SystemApp Remover to restore the old browser (the one from zip file) and didn't have any issues using it.

I prefer the old browser also, I will give this a try.

 

I have tried the above to get the old browser back but, the browser just FC.

Can someone suggest a fix?

 

I heard something when you entering the url it works but if you search it gets a FC

 

Mine will not even open fc

 

You must not have put it in system app I take it. I can't even just install it.

 

I got it to work. How? I guess a bunch of reboots and renames. But, its working I am a happy camper again thanks


I did use a different file I found online not from 7.22

 

It is very simple:
First copy browser.apk to sdcard
Then open terminal emulator type the following commands:
Su
Sysrw
Cp /sdcard/Browser.apk /system/app/Browser.apk
Chmod 644 /system/app/Browser.apk
Sysro
Reboot
That should work flawlessly

U have to use the long command man. Our developer integrated those scripts into the rom

Yes, but...................

rename current browser in the /system/app to browser.apk.old or just remove it.

the browser you are using should be called Browser2.apk

put the browser2.apk in the /system/app file, set permissions to rw-r--r--

do not install the browser, just reboot after you put it in the /system/app and set permissions

This is very easy to do using root explorer or adb

 

I tried this 3 or 4 times but bbrowser keep force closing. I just to use old browser on 8.19, but now isn't working

I tried all the above methods and am still getting fc.
I hope I don't offend but the current browser sucks...bad. Since this is my first MIUI ROM and don't know what the "old" browser is, I can only hope it's default Google. I have installed about 8 ROMS in the last two weeks trying to find the one I want to stick with and MIUI has me very excited... If I can get default Google Browser then my search is over.

btw, I did place files in system/app
renamed old
Set permissions
rebooted many many times

Either another file is needed or a different method. For my EVO anyway.

 

Ya I've been trying for over an hour to get the old browser to work on 1.8.26. No luck. I'm going to restore my nandroid, because I can't deal with the new browser. This thread has over 1000 views hopefully devs pick up on that. lol
