[How To] Install the Jelly Bean AOSP Browser

[dybbob]

I AM NOT TAKING CREDIT FOR THIS I AM JUST SHARING THIS FROM A POST
OVER ON ROOTZWIKI.COM...

1) Find a Galaxy Nexus JB ROM with it and pull it out (it's in /system/app/Browser.apk)
2) Put the Browser.apk (pulled from /system/app on the GNexus ROM) on your sdcard. If you're unsure of where to find it later, stick it directly in /sdcard since the commands below will assume it's there (the root of your sdcard directory).

3) Make sure you're rooted (busybox is not needed)

4) Run the following commands via adb shell or terminal emulator:


sumount -o remount rw /systemcat /sdcard/Browser.apk > /system/app/Browser.apkchmod 644 /system/app/Browser.apkchown root.root /system/app/Browser.apkcd /system/appmv BrowserProviderProxy.apk{,.bak}mv BrowserProviderProxy.odex{,.bak}reboot

NOTE: I do not own an N7. I worked this out with a friend that has one and this was the results of what worked.

Yarly posted this over on rootzwiki and it works great.of course you need to be rooted inorder to access the system files.
i removed the browser apk from a rom i had on my desk top that i just flashed on my gnexus.i used terminal imulator on
my n7.

thank you Yarly for finding this and figuring it out.

Did a little edit to your title so it is more clear. Also just to clarify for those who are wondering the benefit of this is being able to view flash content.

And here is a direct download link for the AOSP browser
