Will Chrome work on any ROM for the X2?
The notes for the Cyanogenmod 10 build say:
"Some ICS/JB Apps Will Crash: This is noticeable on Chrome for example. This is because our drivers don't have External OES Textures. Basically that means when the apps want to draw using them (such as with Chrome's tab preview) the app will crash. This is the same problem on CM9/ICS. There is nothing we can do."
but I am asking whether that means that Chrome is essentially unusable or if there is some bypass such as disabling tab preview (I do not know what tab preview is, or how central it is to Chrome).
Thanks!
no.our kernel is too old so it dosent have certain things a ics/jb kernel regquires to run chrome (which is why chrome only runs on 4.0+) therefore there is essentially no way to run chrome (to my knowledge at least) + no there is no way to disable the indvidual part of chrome for it to work.we just dont have the necissary resources to do it.
Last time I played with my x2 chrome did work fairly well on cm9. That's not to say there wasn't the occasional issue though

Sorry to wake up an old thread, but I am posting this from my Droid X2 on Cyangenmod 10, Android 4.1.2, in hopes it will help somebody. I Tried many versions of Chrome with no luck. Was getting a force close upon open.
Then I installed Chrome Dev version 48. Opens and runs perfect. But seems to have tab preview disabled by default, hence why it runs. Very fast and stable.

I really hate Android Market. It's probably the worse app of all android apps (ironical isn't it?).
But one of the things that really makes me crazy is the "Update All" feature. It just never works! Not only that, it actually makes things worse!
Usually it tries to download all things at once which soon causes a crash of the app or device, after which the progress of all apps just stays stuck, even when they're 100% downloaded!
Then the only solution is to go over all of the apps, one by one, cancelling the download (after which the app is shown as "not installed" in the market!) and installing again.
So this superduper feature costs even more time than updateing one-by-one would!
Am I the only one experiencing this? I really hate it!
Streak with 1.6
No I have the same problem tics me off to

I could be wrong but I don't think 1.6 supports the update all feature. In any case, I've never had that problem on either my streak or nexus one. Maybe if you cleared the cache in the market app that might help.

it causes errors when an application that needs update requires permissions. these are not properly handled by 1.6 but should work in 2.2.
I just use AppBrain. Very useful to remember what apps you have installed if you have to do a total reset too.

Because Market gets often automatically updated and I hoped they'd fix such a problem soon (naive, I know).

It does but I don't like the feature I always disable it on any keyboard..
Had a ton of issues with the last beta and ended up going back to the standard Swiftkey. Got an email earlier, I'll have to give this one a try.

I'm still trying it out .. I'm not really interested in the facebook,gmail,etc.. learning setting..so I been using it as I always have so far I haven't had an issue yet I noticed a bit of improvement with voice to txt ..
Just downloaded it and have noticed it is alot better than the previous beta. Although I have noticed a few bugs, sometimes when I hit the space bar it goes backwards. It also auto creates a word after using punctuation. That
may be because I have set to rapid.

Minor keyboard issue
I LOVE SwiftKey! This beta has been working fairly smoothly since download, but whenever I use my hard keyboard (Evo Shift) the "!" doesn't work. I end up with a "?" whether I use the function key to select it or not. Weird. The other thing I noticed is that when I use the back key in some apps, it doesn't take me to the previous screen, I'm stuck with the prediction bar.
It's still functional enough for me to continue using it without reverting back to the paid version. Did I mention that I LOVE SwiftKey??
Is anyone else having an issue with google chrome crashing at launch on cyanogenmod 9?
The last few builds seem to ruin support for chrome mobile as the second you click on the chrome icon, you get the error message "Unfortunately, Chrome has stopped"
The last 2 versions seem to have this issue

I will test it out and see how well it works with chrome
Also do you know which kernel to use with it, (CM9 overclock kernel or the aokp overclock kernel?, the overclock kernel is just too good to give up (it makes VLC player a lot happier and makes the stick it app work better when I want to do a little split scree web browsing and video watching)

No issues with Chrome here, either - running 11/11 FnC.
Let us know if you still have issues after a flash. :good:
I think I figured out the issue, the newer updates of chrome crash if you have your device set to 120dpi
only thing is that the default 160dpi makes everything too big
eg here is the touchpad at 120dpi

Yea, just tested out changing the DPI, and it does break Chrome.
160 is pretty..... well, big, but I've learned to make do in the mean time.
I took this as an opportunity to upgrade to cm10.
Now I have 120dpi and Chrome works. Not sure why it does on cm10 but no longer on cm9 at 120dpi...
It includes the OC frequencies

I was having this problem too. I uninstalled current Chrome. I installed the one from link below and it is working with nightly 11/11 at 120 dpi. http://www.androiddrawer.com/6430/download-chrome-18-0-1025308-app-apk/#.UKWnYWG3M81
My new solution for this, since cm10 was random rebooting on me and flash didn't work right in the stock browser:
I installed ParanoidAndroid cm9 version. It lets you set per-app DPI settings.
So now I have 132 system-wide, Chrome at 160 which keeps it from crashing.
I tried to update Chrome to the latest version and it can't be open since that. CM9 nightly 10.28

To verify that its not a rom issue I wiped and reflashed Black Jelly Beta...I also wiped and flashed Alpha and Padawan JB 2. I get the same results with all three.
I'm not sure if its a app issue or a problem with my phone. If anyone has any advice, I'd really apreciate it.
Thanx in advance

Someone over in the Q&A section had the same complaint. It sounds like the app isn't ready for prime time yet. Did any version of the app work for you?

No I have not been able to record video since they added the feature. I sent an email to instagram support but haven't heard anything. Surprise...surprise...

+1 to the list, getting same issue. If I run instagram on a non touchwiz rom and try to use the camera, the phone freezes. Finally able to get it up and running on a TouchWiz rom with camera working, but video issue is the same for me (won't let post, seems to record but then starts over asking to record up to a certain point)
I've had exact issue and it still hasn't been addressed almost a week later....
same here
Sucks that this issue still hasn't been fixed by instagram. Read reviews from play store and every single Note 1 user cannot use video feature. I bet if all these people would only rate only 1 star it would be addressed and fixed.

Currently running the Nocturnal 2.1 ROM.
On the SnowJB ROM, when you use QSlide while watching a video, it will open it in a little window and you are allowed to move that window all around the screen, resize it and use the transparency thing. However, on the Nocturnal ROM, it only allows me to change the transparency.. I can't move it or resize it. It's just stuck on the top half of the screen. Which is slightly annoying to me :/
Does anyone know how to bring over SnowJB's QSlide over to Nocturnal? I would just switch over to SnowJB, but my Wi-Fi keeps dropping out even though I'm 10 feet from my router.

the nocturnal rom is based off if the att jb update... snowjb is ported from international jb which has a way better qslide feature so nothing is wrong... just how it is...
you can try this though the system ui has the same qslide as snowjb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2328662

Didn't work... Oh well, at least I know why QSlide acts differently on these 2 ROMs now. That was probably the most frustrating thing for me haha.
