support for ICS only?
I've downloaded this app to my htc glacier running "creamed-glacier" rom and got an error message saying "Chrome is not supported for your version of Android. Version 4.0 (ICS) is the minimal supported version." However, since my phone isrunning the creamed glacier rom which is version 4.0.3, shouldn't I be able to run this app? Any ideas? Thanks.
I believe the build.prop file needs to be edited for this.
From:
ro.build.id=GWK74
TO
ro.build.id=IML74K
very interesting... i just received an update from the market for Chrome Beta, then after the update i'm now able to use this app. i guess i don't have to update the build.prop file after all. but thanks for the info

Its possible they received complaints from CM9 users and decided to remove the ro.build.id check.

You could be right I uninstalled the patched Chrome I had, and installed from the market and its working great for me
Google introduced a new version of Google Play Music with Jelly Bean (Android 4.1), but restricted its availability to Android 4 (ICS). Users of android 2.2 and 2.3 were left out of the update. The restriction was made deliberately by Google by putting the target sdk version as 14 which is ICS, though the minimum was 8.
A developer at XDA decompiled the app, spotted the sign and then, added 8 as the sdk version. The app was then recompiled and then, he uploaded it for everyone to download and install the app (cheers!). The installation is simple, just install it like a normal apk file.
Screenshots are from my Device:Its fully working.
Credits Go to da Dev from it!!!
Google Now Launcher (Officially) available to all Android devices running 4.1 & up
As of version 1.1.0.1167994 updated On August 1 It is now released to us with Galaxy Devices.
Of course there were ways to get this before, but now we can get updates faster and easier straight from google.
Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher
Also a nice way to CUSTOMIZE the Now Launcher is through this free app that requires you to be rooted and have Xposed Framework : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.theknut.xposedgelsettings
I've a Philips 55PUS7909 with Android Jelly Bean on board.
There is a pre-installed Google Play Music app (the very very old version with the old icon). Google Play updates it to v5.9.1854R.1904527 and it doesn't let me update it further.
I'd like to install the 6.0.x version because I hope it will enable me to run in leanback mode the app (the UI used by Android TV)...
Installing the updated version (from apkmirror) tells me that there is a signature conflict with the currently installed app, so I was wondering if you guys know how to do update it?
Hi,
I am developing a hybrid app and would like some of the features of the newer version of webview. I check on the phone (Settings/Apps/All -> Android System WebView) and the stock version is version 39. I also note that the 'FORCE STOP' and 'DISABLE' buttons are inactive.
I installed the new version manually from the Google Play Store, and that is version 58.
If I list the packages using adb, I see that the old webview is com.android.webview while the newer one is com.google.android.webview.
So, now I have both versions installed, but I see from WebSettings.getUserAgentString() that my app is still using version 39.
Is there a way I can get my app to use the new webview?
Regards,
Max.
BTW, phone is vkworld f1 and not rooted.
