I just updated my Chrome Beta from the Market... and now it's refusing to start!
I get an error message "Chrome is not supported for your version of Android. Version 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwitch) is the minimal supported version"
HAHAHA!!! What the heck! I am on ICS!!!
So be aware... do not update Chrome!
I am on CM9 A2... was working fine until I went to market... noticed an update... installed update... BOOM!!! not compatible!
I cleared data... uninstall and reinstall... no dice.
If you do a search for Chrome it shows up... installs fine... which would mean that it's supported but it's not.
So do not update to the latest Beta. Wait until Google figures out what's wrong with it first.
Damn... now I have to see if I had made a back up of the old one... Does any one have an apk of the previous builds?
Got it back!!! I didn't have a backup but my Captivate ICSSGS V4.2 had Chrome Beta... without the latest update... I got Chrome working on TP working again. Phew!!! I was starting to like Chrome a lot on my TP...

Google has disabled Chrome for custom ROMS, including CM9. I cannot post a link due to my post count, but there are articles out there.

That stinks!!! I have not read that article... but I just saw a blurp on Engadget about the enhancements the new updated version brings! Why would Google want to shut down custom ICS roms!!! Open Source... wasn't that the name of their game????!!!
YEAH What the heck, I did the same thing as you, I downloaded the update and bammmm "Chrome is not supported for your version of Android"
Ohh come on...
I am so glad I saw this thread before I updated Chrome on my TP. I installed ICS on my GS2 today and saw the update. It ran fine on there (it's a "custom" ROM based on the stock rom), but when I got home that would have been the first update I ran on the TP. It's a good thing the WiFi here at the office doesn't work in CM9, else I'd be in the same boat!

Here is how I fixed it: Back up your build.prop, and find the line for ro.build.id and change the value to IML74K. Reboot. Enjoy new Chrome update.
I haven't found that the change breaks anything.

I found that it lagged horribly anyway. Is this only me?

It's rather laggy browser, yes. Loading time is not nice on TPm and on SGS it's nearly unusable because of the ram consumption.
By the way, it's not the Google who is breaking Chrome, it's CM9

Problem is not on google but CM9 use Gingerbread build id instead of ICS build id.

VEGAn-ginger is built off CM7.00 source. Netflix doesn't work on anything below CM7.03. Not sure of all the changes cyanogenmod team did between 7.00 and 7.03 but gojimi would need to resync to their source and merge any changes he made to the code back in.

So the new netflix app is 1.2.2?
I got the same popup that an update is available. I hit "NO" on the update but i was still able to watch netflix. I am on CM7. I wonder if i need to update at all if it lets me watch without it.
So can anyone post that this 1.2.2 Netflix app works on CM7? Did you have to uninstall your current netflix first? then Installed this new one.

Yes, it's original Netflix 1.2.2 working just fine with cm7.0.3 stable rom.
Try to clear data for your netflix and then reinstall it.
Btw, I also have my build.prop file modified with HTC and HTC Vision.

Yes, I know... newer version of Netflix does not do device support check routing, so build.prop does not needed. It's just left over from previous versions of Netflix.
used the 1.2.2 version with BOS + modified build.prop and still get device not supported errors.
Same apk works on my froyo evo4g
Any ideas on what to try next?

On the CM Nightly versions you have to edit the build.prop file.
I believe all you have to do is change malata to HTC in this line.

One would think that they (netflix) would be scrambling to get support on the new tablets like the Xoom or the Transformer.

Hi,
Did anybody test Google Chrome on ICS rom ? As it's still in beta, is it whorthy yet ?
Thanks for feed back.
jivojivo said:

No no, thank you for searching and obeying rule #1.
Chrome for Android freezes quite frequently.. Lacks desktop mode.. doesn't supports native fonts as stock browser does.. Issues when sorted should be a tidy browser..
It's still "beta". If you need more information, ask MR. SEARCH
Its okay, the idea is very nice it can be extremelu fluid just like chrome browser, but bcoz of the beta, theres a few places where it crashes, i.e. full screen flash but that also may be because of the beta ICS
Ok, thanks for your back ups ! So it's worthy : even in beta, going to dowload and use it
After two weeks using Google Chrome beta, I removed it and come back to the stock browser.
Globaly, I enjoyed the frame and tab process, the browser is fast but for a day to day use, too much lags and freezes yet.
Hope the beta will evolve quickly...
Please oinkylicious and 078gregory don't click on the Thanks button.
chrome working good in dxlp7 rom, havent crashed as before for me in this rom. very good for a beta. expect all the features in upcoming versions

Although I don't use chrome beta as my main browser, it has worked OK so far in my LPQ...

Works properly , smooth. no more FC.

We already have official CM10 support. That's what the early builds have been based off of, since the code has always been available. This just means the CM team will be cranking out their automatic nightly builds, including one for our devices. I do hope that the more device specific changes (dual battery meter, keyboard function keys, unique recovery, etc) get implemented soon.
I hope ASUS does not think they are off the hook...
YOU ARE NOT!
Hear that ASUS.
In news completely unrelated to TF201 CM10 builds coming soon... Asus has announced that they're working on a JB build and have begun testing it.

I wiped data, cache, and dalvik.

Nightly CM10 is discussed in the preview thread in android development forum.
seems to be fixed in next build according to rayman.

Bluetooth Streaming
I just flashed the 8/21 version and still not able to stream via BT. I saw the post before me has the same problem. Has anyone found a workaround? I love the ROM and really need this to stream to my new big Jambox.
Banding and Google account
Loving the nightlies, one issue I have is horizontal banding. It comes up when scrolling a web page or switching desktops. Not all the time but often enough. It's fixed by setting the cpu to a constant freq.
One other thing if anyone knows how to resolve... after applying a nightly (i wipe dalvik cache) my google account disappears from 'settings' and none of my google related apps work. Play store pops up and closes auto... youtube wont log me in. etc.
Any ideas out there? So far i've had to wipe /system to get back into my google stuff.

You need to flash the JB gapps from 7/26 for your Google apps to work. You probably still have ics apps.

Hi georgeiulian89. Thanks for this.
If you have a TI backup from CM10 you can restore the app from there instead. Look for the app "Google Bookmarks Sync" (com.google.android.syncadapters.bookmarks) and restore. I've checked mine and the amount of permissions it has is crazy.
thanks man

Chrome for mobile needs some serious work. Whenever I have it installed, it screws up my phone's ability to save my choice for default app. Everytime I open a link, youtube video, etc., it asks me what to use, 'Internet' 'Chrome' or 'Youtube' yes I cleared cache and data for all 3 apps. It's either a TouchWiz glitch or a chrome glitch, either way stock browser + this apk = awesome. No clue why 'Internet' sync is missing in KitKat, very odd.
This apk worked perfectly for me on Verizon Note 2, i605 running KitKat 4.4.2. Thanks OP :good:
