Porting honeycomb apps to tab

I have pulled the browser apk from the emulator however it will not install on the tab. please feel free to modify this file to get it working (the stock browser sucks) since it looks like a very good browser
edit: changrd title since its not just the browser we want
(and no i am not looking for a rom port - wait until the source code is relesed for that)

+1 on this one...

Why won't it install?

Because it has specified "honeycomb" as min. SDK level in the manifest file... somebody will have to change that to "8" or "9" I guess
then we will have to try and see if there is something missing from the framework etc...
I am too much noob to get it done properly...

Hmm... Probably a case of using APK tool to decrypt it, edit the xml file, then APK tool to zip it all up again

U might need lib files associated with it

Yo, tried that, but the apk tools I tried crashed every time

You can pretty much guarantee it'll be using 3.0-specific calls for things like the GPU acceleration. There's a lot of new additions in the 3.0 SDK that the 2.x libraries just don't provide.
If it can be made to work, it probably won't be very worthwhile. It'd probably pay to stick to Dolphin HD or Miren or something in the meantime.
If someone has the patience to hack out the non-2.2 compatible bits and make it go usefully, then I'm happy to be proven wrong of course.

I totally agree with you on that.
The only component that's interesting is the keyboard.
That should be pretty doable.

[Q] Camera Application

Hey ladies and gents,
Anyone know if I can change the camera app in the build im using in my sig below? This is the best ROM I've tested over the past year or so and dozens of ROMs. This camera is the worst though. I cant tap to autofocus and it takes like 5 seconds to take a pic.
Thanks in advance.

I am using the same ROM you have. Found the apk file in the ROM thread where several people had good experience using the Miui CM7 camera. I am currently using it without any issues. Here is the link to the post from another user of Pongster's ROM with the apk link:

You need to use a File Explorer app to navigate to the camera.apk that you load and install it from there rather than use it to overwrite the old camera.apk that was there. I think that is what you did? You can have both .apks there at the same time. Shouldn't conflict.

It just says application not installed. I tried Root Explorer and another one built into the ROM.
I also tried wiping Dalvik after moving the APK unsuccessfully.
Why aren't I able to run it as you say?

Not sure why it is difficult to install. You can try off the Market, Camera360, another app that worked well for me. I just tested it again on my phone and it works. I used to use it when I was on Froyo and on Pongster's build until the suggestion from the poster on the link I sent you. I was trying to find the CWR zip file for the same Miui Camera but I can't seem to find it on the Pongster thread. If I find it, I will send you the link. In the meantime, try Camera360. It may be all you need.

Thought the information was in the Pongster thread but actually on its own thread. Here is the link to the link adding the Miui camera onto a CM7 build for HD2:

What would be the order of the operations?
1. move APK, overwriting old APK
2. Power off and boot into CWM
3. Wipe Dalvik
4. Reboot?
If his is correct, I am almost posive this is one of the things I tried.... I tried a lot.

Works on most of CyanogenMod 7 and AOSP 2.3+ phones!
Please make backup before flashing!
Or just extract the lib folder to system/libs and restart.
Note:
-This mod doesn't work for MIUI!
I didn't build this mod myself. But modified it a bit.

ok wow i did the hw accel im not shore if its me or my mind but it looks like its freekin fast....tx dude nice mod

That may be a stupid question-would this MOD work if I am not using the stock Android browser? What if I am using Dolphin Browser for example? Would it work still?
Thanks.

It works but it broke about 7 of my apps including this one. I couldn't fix it by fixing permissions either. I uninstalled a few and reinstalled and that did nothing. The only thing that fixed my apps was doing a reflash of my current version on CM7. Thanks for the mod....its much appreciated but I can't run it stable with my everyday apps.

i extracted first and move the files derectly in lib with root explorer and then i rebooted...if it worked....dont know but browser seems to be faster on loading pages?????if im dreaming please let me know lol

Works like a charm on PBv1.6. Just finished watching a whole episode of The Walking Dead on cm7 browser without any glitches or stops...used only 4G too no wifi.

ok so I extracted copied lib folder over to system/lib, reboot and I notice nothing different, lol. Something I did wrong?

So I retried the mod again and I received the same results. I found that whenever I am using an app that reaches out to the internet (XDA, gmail, etc) as soon as a request is made, the app crashes out or reloads the previous screen the phone was about before I began receiving data. If I remove your HW Accelaration files and reflash my current version of CM7...the problem goes away. I do see that this mod is fast! I wish I could get my apps stable with it though :\

Can I get Flash working?

Hi all,
As per the thread title, is there any known way to get flash working with any browser on the Nexus 7?

You can install a separate APK from online, as in the Play Store flash is listed as incompatible. It should work fairly well with most browsers, however Chrome does not support Flash at all.

Browsing with Chrome is super smooth. There was some noticeable lag at first, but after the OTA update, everything ran a lot smoother, and haven't noticed any lag since. Typing is just as smooth too. For some graphic-intensive pages, the whole site doesn't show-up while you're scrolling until you stop scrolling, but it's a very minor issue.

Browsing is really nice in Chrome. Better than Dolphin HD in fact. I'd like to know how to get flash to install though to use with Dolphin HD. I have Flash 11 .apk but it will not install and noting else is showing up in GP. Anyone?

I'm having the same problem. I heard that is has to do with the OTA update messing with the ability to install Flash. Other APK's installed fine, so I can't think of why else.

It's pretty much dead for every system but windows anyway. Linux flash support has always been crap and they gave up on that too.
I thought it was bad when they didn't support PPC Linux. For being an internet standard they surely are limited.
