Get Chrome browser working with jokersax CM9 ICS - Motorola Photon 4G

You have to edit build.prop , i used build.prop editor from the market
Change ro.build.id from 4.5.1A-1_SUN-198-6 to IML74K
Reboot
Chrome browser should now run normally

It's still Very Buggy on Beta 1 2D

I made the build.prop edit you suggested, but still got the error: "There is a problem parsing the package"

Tabs = close :/

Link to STABLE swype apk Help?

Would someone be kind enough to send me a link to a STABLE version of a Swype apk for my Eris. I have tried searching the boards for a file, but I mostly find tuts that either have the newest unstable apk, or are for phones that are not even close to Eris specs. Thanks in advance and I am much obliged.

I'm not so sure there's a stable swype release for the eris running gsb. I'm pretty sure you are either in the beta and deal with it or you get a different keyboard and deal with that....
I figured there might not be...more or less I want to try if out and see if I like it, I just don't want to install a build that has major bug issues.

FWIW, I've been running swype beta on GSB and on FroShedYo's, xtr's, etc.. and the only bug that I've found that's consistant (to me) is that after you reboot, you have to long-press a text field to change input method back to the regular keyboard and back to swype before it will work...Otherwise, it works great for me again until I reboot.
Stable
I have a version that was sent to me that I haven't run into any problems with.
email me if you want the apk. I'm thinking about trying it out on my archos 101 tablet.

there are two that I know of but its against the rules to link to them directly.
search google for the following and find it yourself. =-)
swype_1.60.36.8214_HVGA
there is another one but I can't remember the file name since I dont have my phone on me today. but 1.60 that was floating around 6 months ago never expired. most of the other versions did, but I believe I had a 2.60 version (or close to that version) that worked just fine too.
oh, and i've found no issues running swype on GSB 2.2 or any other previous version. It sticks, and does good. the only issue that isn't a big deal is double tapping any word to change it (because of a bad swype) is testy as the new GB selection tool likes to auto apear "cut or copy" I have to select cut, in order to reswype in place of that selected word.

Vids and games pausing themselves on cm7 beta

Anyone else having this issue or know if there are settings I could tweak to stop this?
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
i had the same issues on Eclipse 1.3. i reverted back to stock rooted 2.3.4. i haven't flashed a new custom rom because of this reason. i'll follow this thread to see if there are any solutions.
I couldn't get YouTube to play yesterday on 3G. I haven't tried wifi yet to see if it's just my 3G signal or what.
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
I just watched a video I posted on YouTube over 3g and it worked just fine. Mind you, I didn't watch it in HQ mode since it was over 3g, but no jumping, skipping, etc. Worked just fine.
As for games, sometimes they pause, but not always. Overall, I'm getting better performance out of CM7 than I have out of any other ROM, stock or custom.
GTA 3 plays beutifully just like on Eclipse 2.0.1
One thing I have noticed when I ran Smartbench 2011 is that my Productivity and Gaming indexes dropped going from CM7 Alpha to CM7 Beta.
On Alpha (with the extra core constantly on), this is what I had:
Productivity: 3395
Gaming: 2581
After going to CM7 Beta, this is what I have:
Productivity: 1776 avg.
Gaming: 2383 avg.
I then launched system tuner pro and noticed that only 1 cpu was on. But, it appears as if the 2nd core never comes on, at least from what I can tell. If I tell System Tuner Pro to enable both cores and run my benchmarks, I notice that I get back the scores I had before.
Now, I have noticed a slight drop-off in games at times. My question is, is there a way I can monitor if the 2nd core ever comes on when it's needed? Is there an app I can run to monitor this and then I can see if/when the 2nd core came on and at what frequency it ran? Heck, are the any logs I can look at?
Just curious.
Also, one thing I have noticed. If I mess with the Memory Auto-kill settings (such as with V6 Scripts), I notice games get a lot laggier, especially Fruit Ninja. If I leave them at the default settings CM7 comes with, the games perform a lot better.
Thanks!
I didn't have any of these issues on eclipse (any version) so this is new to me.. YouTube works but it constantly pauses or restarts..Iv only tried over 3g so I'll try wifi today. On some other sites my browser wont recognize flash player or the video will be scrambled in black and pink streaks...the strangest thing.
Could the theme I'm using have anything to do with it? Its the epic blue and bold..

I just went to YouTube via the stock browser and the video played just fine over 3g. I also went to FoxNews to try and stream a video there and it worked just fine under CM7 Beta.
You DO have Flash installed, right? Just making sure! I know on my phone I have both Adobe Flash and Adobe AIR installed.
I had AIR installed and had to install flash player on this rom just to get any bids to show up in the browser...never had to on any other rom or stock. I might just reflash the rom and go from there...otherwise its back to eclipse til the next cm7 update

That's because the CM7 doesn't come with everything installed. It's a bare-bones ROM where as the other ROMS, including stock, include the Adobe stuff in it.
Like I said, I have it all installed and YouTube and other flash-sites show up just fine in my browser without any issues. The sound is fine, the video is fine, no choppiness in them at all and that was over 3g.
Ok thanks. So at least I know that its not the rom. Ill have to try something. Clearing the data on apps fixed most of the force closing issues but nothing has fixed the video issues yet. Unless its the theme or another app in the background interferring.. scratching my head on this one
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
If anyone else has the YouTube issue just go to the market and uninstall the YouTube updates...YouTube stays installed and then works without the constant pausing and restarting. Games are still pausing but enter want to delete my data to try to fix that

[Q] "Device not compatable" in Google Martket

I tried to download ShadowGun onto my TP running CM9, and it says that my device is incompatable.........why?.....
Also tried it with Need for Speed Shift.....
Oh, btw, both are on sale for $0.49
The touchpad is not running official android so some apps, usually games, don't recognize it as compatible even when it is. You will want to change the build.prop file to an official android device with similar hardware, if I was on my desktop id give u the exact device

Also, if you've changed your LCD density, a lot of apps will show up incompatible. You can either change it back to 160, or use an app like lcd density pro to download a modded market apk that will work with your custom screen density, while making the market think you are still running 160.

Thanks for recommending lcd density pro I was a little skeptical about paying ~$3 for it but it seems to work great with the app market where I change my DPI to 132 the native DPI of the Touchpad.
You may want to try the "rohan" update here in the Dev section. It changes a bunch of stuff in your build.prop file. I was able to download and start Shadowgun last night (I didn't really try playing). I still had problems with Dead Space, and haven't tested any of the Gameloft games yet.

Google Earth 6.2 incompatible and crashes?

Hello, I have an interesting situation: I had installed Google earth earlier but never reinstalled after wiping data to get rid of a bootloop. So, I go to reinstall it, but, low and behold; it doesn't show up in android market (er Google play, I shoud say ). So, I go to it on a PC, and it says it is compatible!? I sync it to my device via PC, and it installs, but it just closes every 30 sec or so. Any insight? I guess 6.2 broke compatibility?
Try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1435617&referrerid=4550610. If it doesn't work eng_matt posted buil.prob files from his custom rom on page 4.
Changing your build.prop file wouldn't stop it from crashing.
yes, I have already modified my build.prop (before that guy even posted that tutorial, lol) and no, that wouldn't affect it crashing. Does anyone else have this problem as well?
It seems to work fine on my device running 2.3.5 ueki8. But I have my build.prop changed to yp-G1.
Sent using Tapatalk
Thanks, let me try changing my build.prop back, will see if that helps...
Didn't do anything, still incompatible, still crashes, oh well, Ill just stick to 6.1, not that much of an update anyway.
I'm just downloading 6.2 then testing it.Works like a charm in fact.
I also edited build.prop,but just this line:
ro.product.model=GT-I9000
Mine is YP-G1 of 2.3.6
That is so weird. Idk what on earth did!? (That's actually a very clever pun, I didn't even mean to do that, lol!)

That's odd: after a restore to complete stock flash, it now shows as compatible, but still crashes!

Maybe you could try flashing gapps and see if it changes anything.

This is apparently expected behavior at this point. If you have less running in the background, it won't happen. If you reboot, you should see it stop until you've got too much going on.
I have had good success messing with the performance settings and ultimately using the "V6 Supercharger" with this rom. The lock screen is much more reliable for me now. Do a search for it in all forums and I'm sure you'll find the thread.

Tasker - Your device isn't compatible with this version
I am getting the dreaded "Your Device Isn't Compatible with this version" error in Google Play for tasker on this ROM. I didn't have this issue with GHarmony ICS. The tasker developer says it is a ROM issue.
Anyone know of a quick fix?

I really liked Smooth Bean but I couldn't use it because a lot of games were incompatible with it. The games would load up fine but then freeze at certain screens. It was a different screen for every game, but it was always the same screen for that particular game. The few that come to mind are Cut the Rope HD, Slice It!, Jewel Star, and Open Sea.

I am using the latest, just downloaded it today, barebones version. I just installed the GHarmony JB ROM and it had the same problem. I then went back to the GHarmony ICS I was using previously and tasker install was fine. I tried to take the build fingerprint out of the build.prop from HarmonyICS and apply it after installing Smoothbean and run market fix and still can't load tasker.
ro.build.fingerprint=asus/WW epad/EeePad.4.0.3/IML74K/WW epad-9.4.2.21-20120323:user/release-keys
It looks like the GHarmony ICS rom which works was 120dpi, and I am running 120dpi on smoothbean...
I may just have to load the ICS rom and try and backup the apk, reload jb and install...
Do others using this ROM have tasker installed? It may be that I am doing something wrong with the market fix, it seems like there are several versions of the instructions out there..

Okay, doing that helped with the games. However, some apps still don't work. For example, the weather app, Eye in Sky, shows up in the Play Store as incompatible with the device, so I tried to side-load it and it wouldn't install. It just says "app not installed." Should I change the build.prop?
Edit: I think my problem with Eye in Sky is the same as wuench's problem with Tasker.
You guys might want to think that it is the app and not the ROM. The same thing happened when ICS Started out with HBO GO for me. Not all apps have been converted to work on the Jellybean framework. They may seem almost the same at most points, but since I just ripped through a crap load of HTML files and smail files as well. They are quiet different. I am sorry that those particular apps will not work, but the best suggestion I can offer is contact the app developer. My current work is using a clone base of a Motorola Xoom which is widely supported in the Play Store Market. When it come available for compatibility then it will work, trust me.
Sent from the Darkside Via ME.
Yeah, I don't know what it could be. Eye in Sky works with Dirty Bean. It shows up in the Play Store and it can be side-loaded for that ROM. Oh well, it's not the only weather app. It has a nice UI, though.
Well, tasker will not install from the backup. I found the developers website and downloaded the apk directly, that install failed as well. I found a reference in their forum about needing the maps library installed, I was going to check the logs for errors but I can't find a log viewer application that works on Jelly Bean ATM. It sounds like some permissions were changed for log viewing and a lot of the apps need to be updated.
It seems like a really great ROM, these app issues are the only things I have noticed. I think you are right, these developers just haven't had time to support JB yet...

Yes it does but you cannot run this framework.res from this device to another device. Each device has a different framework-res configuration. There is a lot of changes that need to be done and since I am still considered a novice dev. I am learning the different things to do with the ROM in order for it to work.
