Looks like the Chrome Beta is out on the market, says it works for ICS devices only. I installed it on my Xoom and extracted the apk in hopes of installing it on my Rezound anyway, but I get the parse error message. Anyway, market link and a DL for the apk are below, if someone cares to spend the time to get it working:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.android.chrome
http://db.tt/GHQM6yGj
It's a free app, so I don't think I'm breaking any rules by posting the apk, but if I am, sorry bout it.

Works fine on my ICS ROM. Try just dropping the APK in your /data/app. It looks a lot better and renders faster than dolphin and the stock browser.
I must be doing something wrong, when I tried to drop it in using ES File Explorer, it tells me that the copy failed.

I'm running stock Gingerbread; just got my Rezound a week ago and haven't got around to trying out an ICS ROM. Dropping the APK into /data/app doesn't appear to work, but I didn't really expect it to work so easily
I don't have any idea if it's possible to hack this to work with GB, but that would be pretty sweet.

Works on my ICS rom. (CleanROM ICS)
Went in with ROM Toolbox, seems that ES doesn't have SU privileges for some reason. Will need to find out what that is about.

If you're on Nils' ICS ROM you should just be able to install it.
Yep still on Nils ICS ROM, but its not letting me install it, has to do with security settings, its weird, he already said he took out the need to allow third party apps. I am going to play with it some more and see what I can figure out before I ask him.

Each time I create a new rom I cannot get past this problem: superuser force closes when I update ANY app in the market. Tried all three versions of su. Any ideas?
I just left you a post over on the kitchen thread about thus issue. It sounds like you are not using the patched version. If you are choosing that option and its giving you fcs, try manually putting rmk version of superuser.apk into your system/apps

Ok.
1) First thing I noticed right off the back is that you NEED to include a launcher with your rom or it will not load. I pushed rosie to it to be able to do anything. This doesn't have to be Rosie, but there needs to be one in there.
2) Flash the file in this post and your superuser will be good to go!
-Love the Framework mods...just make sure you toss in that and unzip and replace the superuser app and xbin/su file with the ones in the post on your future build. I will get with dsixda because something must have happened with his latest build that resulted in it not flashing the patched version. As soon as I flashed it, I had NO problem with it at all...
Hope this helps ya out and can't wait to see what future builds you have in store.

Just some clarification - I couldn't use the Sideloading Wonder Machine to install this as it is already installed on my phone, so to get it to install, just push it to the phone or put it on the SD Card (internal or external), and use a file explorer to install it. It will ask if you want to install over the existing app, and obviously you want to.
Works like a charm! And by charm, I mean slow as crap right now, but that's cool, it's not even supposed to be out yet.... Thanks Kenn!
MUST BE ROOTED
the gallery app that came with the phone is lets just say horrible so i asked in irc if anyone knew of an alternative to the stock gallery...riggsAndroid forwarded me a copy of the 3d gallery apk and it worked with a few modifications to the permission level! So with that being said and with his permission i am sharing this info with all of you.
MUST BE ROOTED
to install the app you will need to be rooted as this needs to either be pushed via adb or using rootexplorer... and you need root to modify the permissions to rw r r using root explorer. MUST BE ROOTED
I take no credit for this discovery other than being a test bunny to verify it's working status so please say thanks to riggsAndroid for providing me with the direction!
MUST BE ROOTED
I will host the APK as i am not sure if it falls under warez guidelines or not so enjoy!!!

I think that's what we're trying to straighten out. This thread was started by someone in order to get the 3D Gallery app on to our phones - -but the method requires ROOT. Myself and someone else have said there is a version of the 3D Gallery app on the market that will install on the Photon WITHOUT root if done from the phone's Market (not on the web).
However, there may be some confusion as to whether or not we are talking about the same app. I have used the stock Android 3D Gallery app before and the one I just DL'd and installed from the Market on to the Photon seems to be the same. If it is, then that would be the method to use since it does not require root. However, if the app referenced in the original topic/post is somehow different then I think we'd all like to know (since it requires a bit more work to install).

You can also stop the market updating itself by opening up terminal and typing:
su -
pm disable com.android.vending.updater
You will get a message to say its been disabled. I usually just use route explorer to move a copy of the old market (vending.apk) to system/apps and set permissions, run terminal with the above command and voila! Must say though, it will be nice to see how this installer works, especially if it cuts down on excess finger tapping..
I've never been able to use any of the new markets, its awful. Not sure if there's any weird issues with the internet around here but it was so hard to get anything installed. It could take 20 mins to install a single app, I could have configured my whole phone from scratch in that time!

Haha yeah i know what you mean, i had a few problems with some of the new versions as well, just like that but with mine it would never actually install. It would finish the download then say it was corrupt and could not install. Or something along those lines. But the newest one seems to work for me now. The only reason i want an old market is for the old theme of it.

I'm using a couple ICS+sense roms that are giving me some issues with the Market. A bunch of apps aren't showing up including some that I paid for. It prob has something to do w/ me going from GB to ICS 4.0.1 aka CleanRom 2.1. Anyways, before I flashed these roms I was able to see all these apps in the Market that I can't now. Can someone explain how I can trick the Market into showing every app whether they're compatible with GB/ICS or not? If I have to pull my Market.apk and edit it, let me know how to do that or if there is a Market.apk out there that I can install over the current one I already have. If there's a way for me to keep that most updated market(3.4.4) that'd be great.

I know, it sucks. Essentially I think you have to edit your build.prop. It'll be a pain to get it to work. If you can find someone that knows how to correctly edit the build.prop, I think you can get those apps. The best thing to do would be to contact the app developers and ask when they'll make their apps compatible with ICS.
I've never used it but it sounds like maybe the "Market Enabler" app might work. It's at keast worth checking out

I swear I saw a market app that's currently in a Rezound rom here that shows all apps. I forget the rom though. With the build prob don't I just edit it to make it think my phone is on GB? Gotta be an easy way to do this.
Sent from my HTC Rezound using XDA Premium
1. Flash a 2.3 rom
2. Use root file explorer >>go to data/app folder and copy app to SD card
3.reinstall 4.0 rom and reinstall app
Editing build prop is more trouble and time than its worth.
Copy and reinstall is faster and the apps will still function...paid apps will require the install key probably...

1. Flash a 2.3 rom
2. Use root file explorer >>go to data/app folder and copy app to SD card
3.reinstall 4.0 rom and reinstall app
Editing build prop is more trouble and time than its worth.
Copy and reinstall is faster and the apps will still function...paid apps will require the install key probably...

Why do I need to flash a Rom, can't I just download a Rom, open the zip with 7zip and extract the market.apk from system/app? I thought the market apk was in system/app?
Oh and could you name a Rom I could download to get the apk I need. Also, what is the name of the market.apk? How do I remove the market from the ICS Rom and install the GB market over it so I don't have two markets installed and in my launcher?
One last thing, what do you mean paid apps will require a licencse?

Nope, not market.apk. You'll want to look in /data/app for the specific apps that are missing. /data/app is the location of all your apks downloaded from the market.
The reason we don't need to simply copy the market.apk is because your market app is working just fine. Google's servers filter based on device and rom according to the build.prop file. Because there's no official ICS rezound it doesn't know what to show you yet. Once it gets closer to release google will add the profile for ICS and everything will show properly.

gotcha, so until then there isnt a way to swap build.prop, replace the ics build.prop with GB build.prop from one of our GB roms.

Sure there is. Extract build.prop from a ROM, and swap it out just like you said. I don't know if it's going to net you the desired result, but why not give it a shot.

dont think its that simple lol
If you go the flashing back to GB method I recommend grabbing AppMonster to back up all your apps. I've been using the pro version and it's pretty cool. Now I have access to all the apps I've downloaded in the past but don't have to install them until I need/want to. It also automatically backs up apps as soon as you've downloaded them. Super easy to restore too.

DO NOT DO THIS! The reason that some of the apps are not showing up in the market is because they have not been updated to say that they work with 4.0.1. If you swap build.props you could seriously harm your device, I STRONGLY advise against it.
I just went to the market website on my computer and looked under my apps, then just installed all the ones I wanted to from there. It was a little hassle, but really only took around 10 min for about 30-40 apps I wanted.

in your opinion does it do any better/different than TB?
I've been looking into editing the build.prop file. I am hesitant to do so because all the other examples I've seen are from similar devices so very few lines are actually changing. I noticed the rezound has a crapload of lines, i'm not sure how many would be required to actually get an app showing.
Does anyone know what specific lines the Market app looks at to verify?
My problem is not that I'm trying to get an app on ICS but that I want Plants and Zombies. I understand it works on other GB's but not the rezound. Any more insight on the build.prop file would be awesome!

Well, updated to CleanRom ICS edition v2.3 and tried my build.prop and my Rez wouldn't even boot... Booo!!!! So back to the drawing bored I went. Happy to say I now have a build.prop that is up and running. Issue here is not that I can't download games from the market. That's easy. Issue is, once downloaded, they won't download additional data. **shakes fist at gameloft**
So here it is, as always: I'm not responsible for any damages done to your phone by use of this file, etc..... Remember to nandroid backup!!!!
THIS HAS ONLY BEEN TESTED TO WORK ON CLEANROM ICS 2.3
How to Use:
Open file browser of choice and go to /system/
Rename build.prop to something like build.prop.bak
Download the file and unrar it
Move the file to /system/
Rename to build.prop
Reboot
When you need to switch back, just rename the modded build.prop to something like build.prop.mod and rename build.prop.bak to build.prop and reboot.
