[Q] possible to port the 4.3 browser to 4.4.2 ? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After upgrading my HTC One from 3.4 to 4.4.2 I am missing flash support in the HTC browser. I know the workaround using Dolphin of FF, but I prefer the HTC browser.
My question is: Do you think it is possible to extract the 4.3 browser´s apk (and obex file?) and to install it on an HTC One running 4.4.2.
Is there a chance to get flash support back this way?
Thanks for your opinion,
Randolph

not possible 4.3 app will not work in 4.4.2
If your problem is flash then install flash apk from internet then open browser settings tick on enable flash

But this is exactly my problem! But after updating from 4.3 to 4.4.2 I can not find this checkbox to enable flash in the HTC browser on my HTC One M7... It is missing -
Do you think I have installed the wrong flash apk?
I installed the package recommended for Dolphin Browser but it is not recognized in htc browser - definitly no checkbox to enable flash...
Any chance to get this fixed? How did you get flash running - what .apk did you use??
Thanks in advance,
Randolph
By the way, the top-bar on your screenshot looks nice and interesting and different to mine: data rate, htc logo, power percentage - but no battery icon...

Flash player version see pic
Border color all stuff after sense 6 update
Battery icon hide by sense 6 toolbox
HTC logo is just notifications of get started data rate sense 6 toolbox

Thank you for the hint! I finally found this version on Adobe website, I installed it, an the checkbox for enabling Flash reappeard...
BUT Flash is still not working in HTCs stock browser (I checked "Flash Settings App" and some websites
Is flash working on your HTC One? What site?
My HTC Oneis:
Android 4.4.2 Kernel-Version 3.4.10-gc35527f
HTC Sense 5.5
SW: 4.20.111.21 CL324876
HTC SDK API 5.69

Send me a link which you wanna test
from HTC One

Really too bad, that HTC stock browser displays the flash checkbox, but doesnot play flash ...
Flash will be around for some years and the kick it off portabel devices.
I presume, there seems to be no generic solution to bring back flash without switching to an other nrowser like Boat, Dolph or Forefox...
Anyway thanks for help & testing

[Q] Android Revolution HD drawbacks

Hi guys,
I have a quick query. This week, I downloaded and flashed the Android Revolution HD Rom for my HTC One and also flashed the aroma mod to have the htc logo be used as an option button. After flashing the rom, I noticed that I could no longer add new gmail accounts to my mail app through the "accounts and sync" option in my settings. The option to add new accounts is just gone, and I am wondering if it has something to do with the fact that I've flashed a new rom. Does anyone know if Android Revolution HD has any drawbacks like it locks you in to using only the apps native to HTC or something like that? I really don't know what the problem is or if this has been an issue that was there since before I flashed the rom and only noticed today. If anyone else has had this issue and resolved it, could you reply and write what you did to solve it? I am also open to suggestions, so please suggest as much as possible. Thanks every one.

Did you do a full wipe when you installed? Also, what recovery are you using?
To answer your question, No there is no sort of "limitation" on any apps at all. You can use whatever apps you please

The issue you have is not due to ARHD and there are no limitations at all (other than Android base compatability as with all roms) on the apps you can install. I suggest you reflash selecting wipe in the installer and see if this fixes your prob but don't use the HTC logo mod just in cas this is the cause.
Good idea but the issue was much simpler

So the solution was very similar to this one. First I kept messing around in the settings window and after tapping on the + in the upper right and then tapping everywhere, I was finally able to find out that to add a new account to my gmail I just had to tap on the google logo after tapping on the + in the upper right. Another thing that helped a lot was clearing the data for the gmail app. Thank you for your response @rider5512 :good:

Flash as been left behind for html5. In 4.4 there is no more API for flash to interact with. The only solution I know require Dolphin Browser:
Install dolphin: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser
install dolphin jetpack: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dolphin.browser.engine
install modified flash 11.1 apk: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1qjrD8ZER9ITmlVNW1EVWM5YlE/view?pli=1&sle=true

[Q] 4.4.2 Update Quirks

Okay so I live in Canada and recently got the Rogers update for KitKat on my HTC ONE. For the most part I am happy with the update except two issues that I have noticed. Please note I am on Stock with no Root.
1. I lost my Flash support in my browser. I used to love being able to have flash in my stock HTC browser I hate that it is gone. Is there any way to get this back? Some one mentioned that another browser from the app store may support it. Does anyone know which one and also is there a way to get it back on the stock browser?
2. My MuraCast is now broken. Before I used to Muracast to my iview Muracast Dongle which would work with slight lag...Now once I connect it keeps disconnecting like after 5 seconds and I can no longer get a stable connection it just keeps disconnecting. You would think Muracast would work better not worse under 4.4
Anyone else see these issues. Are there other things you do not like about 4.4?

You cant. Without HTC Sense framework and the needed Sense files the camera wont work. IT is part of the reason HTC went with a software based camera. This way it forces you to use HTC or be stuck with a 4 mp camera.

I found an application called "A better camera" and it does all the things that the stock htc camera does but it can allso take pictures in the dark without the led and still maximize the light it captures (a thing that the stock camera does not do).
So i got the things i wanted from stock rom..while using the things i love to have from cyanogenmod

Latest update of Android System WebView makes stock mail client unable to reply email

Hi
After updating to the latest version of Android System WebView (48.0.2564.95) the HTC stock email klient stops when I try to reply an email.
If I uninstall the update the mail app works again.
I'm running Android Revolution HD 93.0 rom
Any suggestions?
I could skip the update, but I assume that it contains relevant changes.
Thanks
Am I really the only one who has this problem?
i got same issue
Same problem with the update 48.0.2564.99 from the 2016-01-29

Are you using AR-HD or stock rom?
Still not working with version 48.0.2564.106
Same here.
I´m using ARHD 91.1.
For testing i have installed ARHD 93.0. All good until i updated the Apps with PlayStore. Android System WebView ist gulity. I tested four or five 48.0.2564.x Builds. Nothing.
But 47.0.2526.99 (from here) works.
More Informations here
In any case HTC released an update to HTC mail that should solve this issue. It was rolled out this week
I have a htc one m7 with ARHD 92.0, but I cant get the update. As HTC have stopped support for it. Any Suggestions for people in this situation?
Where i can find the new Mail apk for the M7? On PlayStore i found nothing.
