[Q] Chrome v39: Bookmarks as homepage/new tab - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I'm on android 4.4.2 and have the chrome browser in the latest version (v39).
When I try to set a new default homepage like xda-developers.com or about:blank it works fine.
But when I try (which is converted to chrome://bookmarks) I get an error that the page can't be found.
-on the pc version of chrome this input works very well!
So what's the problem here? Why is it not working with the app?
Do you have an idea how to bring the my bookmarks page to the homepage for my new tabs?
Thx!

[Q] Flash for armv6 is not working on my Lg optimus net l45c's default browser.

I recently got myself a new phone called lg-l54c and I downloaded flash for armv6 but it didn't work on my default browser. So I searched the Market now known as Playstore for a compatible browser and I found that most browsers that said they were flash compatible would not work with my flash for armv6, so I searched a bit deeper and found a browser called Uc browser developed by ucweb and flash for armv6 worked! But I wanted to have my default browser to support flash for armv6 but I have not gotten it to. Throughout the market the only supporting browsers I found are Boltbrowser and UC web browser. I also searched the internet and found a browser called Firefox alpha but Firefox alpha is a very laggy browser so I really would rather use my default browser but like I said I can't get flash for armv6 working on my default browser please help me in doing so.
Try to search and download Dolphin Browser HD. It has an integrated flash on it. Hope that help .
Flash on ARMv6 is not Adobe supported so any apk you get is something created unofficially. They can be hard to get working on certain devices, some will require a custom ROM IIRC. Perhaps try looking for a flash apk that others have reported as working on your phone.

"Unfortunately, Chromium application was stopped." Android 5.1
Browsing works great, thanks a lot.
I have a problem though syncing bookmarks. Does it work for you guys? I can connect to an account but always get a red error message telling me there are currently sync problems. Tried that on my note3 and with other accounts as well but without success.

Sync API is not supported on third party Chromium distributions. This is Googles decision to block access.

Working, thanks a lot.
Awesome how fast this browser is. Nice Work! :good:
This is awesome, it works great on my Acer a500 running 4.4.4 omnirom.
I just switched to chomium after Firefox, Opera Mini and the build-in browser gave me problems under 6.0.1 on my p4wife 7510 tab.
Works like a charm and it's fast! Thanks a lot!
How to change the Download location ? on P4 with 'Internal Storage' he has a problem with NO SDCARD ...
Did you grant storage access for chromium?
Thank you very much for your work! Continue in the same vein on ASUS TF101 (tegra2) android 4.4.4 everything works great.
Chromium browser does not have a native google translator.
What to do?
Thanks for your work. It's the best browser for Tegra2 devices. Is it possible to create an Android 4.0.4 APK as I went back to the stock ICS firmware? Thanks!
I've compiled a Bromite version of Chromium. See their website for the list of features.

This one is working nicely on a Galaxy Tab 10.1 wifi updated with the 7.1.2 AOSP Nougat. I updated from linux laptop with heimdal to install twrp, then from twrp to install custom ROM. I'll be trying your 8.0 Oreo someday.
I couldn't install the previous builds, I tried a few one up to build 65, verified the md5, etc... Got error "Can't open file" when launching the apk from the downloads app... Maybe I did something wrong, as I'm new to alternative android ROMs.
Is there an index wich lists those specific tegra2 apps somewhere ? I found a few with search, but no centralized list.
So thanks a lot, keep up the good work !
Seems to work very nice! Thank you.
Is there any chance we can use it as WebView too? I would like to use a Fullscreen Browser App on my Tab for my Homeautomation System.
The recent versions of Chromium don't work. There's some issue that doesn't render the page. So that will be end of these browser releases.
@lanwin: there isn't a way to use a custom webview. The only browsers that can work as webview are the ones that Google releases on Play store but those aren't compatible with non-NEON devices.
I've found a way to make it work so this is alive again.
There are two patches of the bromite build which aren't compiling so they aren't included:
Code:
BRM045_Remove-help-menu-item.patch
BRM050_Canvas-fingerprinting-mitigations-for-image-data-and-webGL.patch

[Q] Add link /symlink to Home Screen

Hello there.
I'm developing a custom rom and I want to add a link to my website on the Homescreen / Launcher (so users will be able to check infos and updates about the rom)
1st Method: chrome
I searched on google "how to add an .html file on Android launcher /home screen" and every website I consulted just adviced me to download Chrome and use it to add bookmarks on the home screen.
The problem is that I'm making an Android 2.3 rom and I'm working on a device with limited storage, I don't want to download and install Chrome just to make a link...
2nd Method: apk with webview
I know how to develop a simple app in Android Studio that just uses a webview to display my website, but I don't want to use this method too because Android 2.3 webview is obsolete and I included a modern and lightweight browser in my rom. A whole apk to just open a webpage would be wasted
3rd Method: ?
I believe there's a way to put links to any file on the homescreen! Especially if the rom (pre)rooted like mine. Can you tell me how to do this, please?
Thanks in advance
