I think the stock AOSP browser actually has the ie6 user agent string built in maybe. Found some info where ppl had ported it off the N1 because of this function (or were just pointing out this function)

I think Calk may be the guy to hit up for this since he has been modding the HTC browser to behave more like the stock AOSP browser... maybe he will look into this for you (us) if you ask him. :) Found a little video showing some differences b/t the two, it doesn't show the user agent switch but, like I said, I did read the the stock 2.1 off the N1 had this option so I doubt they removed it from the AOSP 2.2 version.

YouTube - HTC Sense UI Browser vs Stock Android Browser

Here's is some info on the 2.1 port talking about the UA string stuff...

so far, v4.0x seems to be better on battery, but I need to test a fews days

Don't know of any full ports of the AOSP 2.2 browser for our phones? Do you?

... Can I just download say Cyanogen's Stable MOD ROM and pull out the browser.apk and install it? ... or maybe pull it from his rom and swap it out in your deodexed rom pre-flash? I have started altering your rom at all yet like taking stuff out or putting stuff in before flash. Can you just add stuff in the /system/app folder pre-flash without any sig issues?

I alter OMJ's ROMs pre-flash all the time with no issues. Just don't extract/unpack the .zip. Replace/remove the file(s) with WinRAR or 7zip...I personally use WinRAR. As far as /system/app goes, you shouldn't have any signature issues in system...even if you edit an .apk.

I would either replace the browser.apk pre-flash, or after flashing the ROM use a flashable .zip to overwrite the browser.apk, or use ADB. Don't try and install the browser.apk file, I sense only issues with that approach.

Hope that helps.

Any suggestions? ... btw, have no idea how to make a flashable zip of this browser.apk nor where to get one
