I found this simple walkthrough in another phone forum and now I have my stock web browser back!
So for all of you out there who are enjoying these otherwise awesome roms who just want your browser or something from Metro or Cricket back on your phone, here is the method I found... Hope this helps!
The easiest way, at least for me, to get an app into /system/app is to use Root Explorer to copy the apk into /system/app.

The easiest way, at least for me, to get an app into /system/app is to use Root Explorer to copy the apk into /system/app.
To do this:
- In Root Explorer, long press and copy the apk file you want to put in /system/app
- Navigate to the /system/app directory
- Tap the Mount R/W button on the top right
- Tap Paste
- Scroll down to the pasted apk, long press on it and select Permissions (you'll see 9 check boxes when you do this)
- Check the Read and Write buttons for User(or Owner), and only the Read boxes next to Group and Others, then tap OK (once you're done, the read/write permissions under the app name should be the same as all the other apps listed (rw-r--r--))
- Reboot.
