Push the lib manually of you have issues on cm9
To do that, do this:
Extract the apk (root explorer)
Find the .so files in /lib/armeabi_v7
Copy them to /data/data/com.android.chrome/lib
Make them all rwxr-xr-x

I did adb logcat and found out that chrome is crashing due to missing libraries. Thanks to Quinny999 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485473&page=2)
Shortest and easiest method is make sure that you have sufficient space in /datadata partition. Try using app cache cleaner to clear some space and reinstalling chrome.
If it still doesn't work extract the /data/app/com.android.chrome-1.apk to some folder in your sdcard go to lib/armeabi_v7 and copy the libraries to /data/data/com.android.chrome/lib
It should work now.

They are the same fix, just different ways of explaining. I found changing the permissions also fixed it. Hopefully this will help others like these 2 helped me

I have a ICS rooted SpringBoard (T-MO) AKA MediaPad and Chrome Beta crashes every time i try to access the settings as well. I also can't get the tab sharing to work, but the bookmarks do sync.

New Market on Tab

Installed fine on TouchWiz ROM. Can others report if it installs with no issues on stock ROM?
Edit: Took down download link. Not tablet friendly.

Stock 16gb here.
I got it installed
I now have two market apps installed. It did not override the tablet market. Also, I don't have access to the movies section.
I tried it and uninstalled it within a minute or so. Obviously not optimized for tablets. will wait for official release.
Agree...looks good on the cell. Not so much on tablet. But it is working..
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
yea I have a feeling this is the same apk for both the mobile and tablet because it works better on my TB than my GT 10.1
even then, it is alot slower compared to the previous market so idk if this is worth it just yet
Damn...i broke my market. I uninstalled the new one...old one seemed to work until i try to install an app or load my apps. Then i get a com.Google.android.finsky force close. Ideas anyone?
Edit: a data wipe and restart fixed the issue.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
yes data are not the same so have to clear it before installing the new one or after uninstalling it.
finsky is FC for me
I screwed up my market by installing then uninstalling this and wiping market data in settings and a reboot didn't fix the issue.
Market runs but when I click on the "My Apps" in the upper right I get a FC.
Can anyone send me the market vending files I need to push to my Tab's system/app folder to help me fix?
(and yes I know I am an idiot by not doing a Titanium Backup of Market before installing the new one).

See post #7 - Should do the trick.
Thanks for trying this out and reporting back, guys. I installed it on my Nexus S without issue but decided not to pull the trigger on my tab.
Looks great on MT4G. I will wait to install on my GT10.1

CM9 Music Player

So I'm on Turls CM9 v5 build and I d/l the CM9 music player from here. http://www.seeingpixels.org/2012/01...16.html#!/2012/01/cyanogenmod-9-music_16.html However as soon as I go to play a song it force closes.. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a way to correct?
I've searched around some other threads for other devices and haven't found a "fix"
Works for me.
Use something like root explorer:
1. Copy the apk into /system/app (make a backup of the old one just in case)
2. Set the permissions exactly the same as the old one.
3. Reboot
No Buenos following those instructions. Now force closes won't even open

i just delete the old apk, reboot
install the new one like normal rather than copying it to system, it works fine as a normal app, hopefully itll be merged soon
It works for me but you must rename in system/app CM music.apk to Music.apk after change permissions and reboot ...
Can I use this as a third party app on cm7? Cause I've seen it in screenies and the colour schemes and all look pretty badass!

Haha true that. Thx for the info though... Waiting for a dev to bring it down to our lvl before the original dev releases it to the play store!!!
It's pretty cool but, I prefer player pro.
I get the same problem, every time I open the CM9 stock music it force closes. I checked in system apps and it's called Music.apk, how do I set permissions?
clear the data of the Music app in the apps settings and it will open.
That's what helped me...

Chrome gives wrong version error and closes

Hi community. I've been using chrome beta for quite some time now, and been running aokp even longer and have had no issues with either working together. But unfortunately about about a week ago, I've not been able to use chrome any longer. I'm not sure what changes I made to my gtab or if something I did is the root of the problem but now when I launch chrome it complains I'm not running an compatible version of andriod. Specifically; "chrome is not supported for your version of Android." And that I need at least 4.0. Going to about tablet I see 4.0.3 so im not sure where the disparity lies. I've done some basic troubleshooting like clear data, reinstall, flash newer aokp build, etc but still same trouble. Sorry in advance if this has already been addressed somewhere....did a few searches and didn't see anything.

Hi friend,
Browse to the system directory with es file explorer open build.prob, Open settings menu, root, Set to r/w and edit the line ro.build.id=HTJ85B to: ro.build.id=IML74K
OR
Easiest way though is to use a free app - there is an app on the app store called "build.prop Editor" which will allow you to edit the one line too.
Find the line:
ro.build.id
click on it, and change the value from:
HTJ85B
to:
IML74K
Reboot once completed, and chrome will now work , and new version is faster

Guide to make hulu work on Galaxy Tab

With the help of another xda member. (Halfcalf) we now have hulu plus for our device. All you need to do is place the extracted files from the zip I will upload into your titanium backup folder then restore the app AND data. All three files must be in the titanium backup folder. Not just one big folder. It took me a few tries but it works. I'll answer questions as your post.
I also noticed that after the first time it said unsupported..i just went back to titanium and restored the data again..if you have any buffering problems..that on hulu not the app.
Im currently watching hulu on my tab as we speak
Please post back if this works for you.

Works great so far, occasional force close while scrolling but that's the only issue that i've noticed aside from the dreaded endless buffering which you had already mentioned is on Hulus end. Nice work...

Thanks yeah that's an older apk..I'll update mine and post a new one. The new one buffers allot too but may have less force closes..I've been using this since Hulu first came out and only posted it here because someone in my other thread said it worked on their tab.

OK this is good news as you don't need to install an app from other sources. It can be downloaded straight from the market and it works on ANY device.
So download the latest hulu plus from the market.
Download any root file manager. I use root explorer but any other file browser that let's u edit data folder would do it.
Open file browser and go to /data/data/com.hulu.plus/shared_prefs and open cSPrefs.xml
Now in that file there's a huge string named lastTimeOut.
In that string look for ns_ap_device= and replace what's in between that and &. In my case I'm running cm9 so I have ns_ap_device=p5& where p5 is the devices name. Change that to a supported devices name, I used Xooms device name Stingray so the end result will be ns_ap_device=Stingray&
Just replace that part without touching anything else. Save the file and reopen hulu. It should work now.
That will work even it the app gets updated and its an easy fix if you clear data or something.
Let me know how it works for y'all and remember to hit thanks if it helped you
enjoy your hulu.

When I open cSprefs.xml it is only a couple of lines long and doesn't have the above string of text in it anywhere. I am using Root Explorer to open and edit the file, would that be the problem?
When i download the zip it says the directory isnt found. I cant even find the zip once i download it.
Sent from my GT-P7310 using Tapatalk 2
So I decided to try this again. I understand the directions now i do the following.
Use root explorer and open cSPrefs.xml
I find the text string mentioned above and change "p5wifi" to"Stingray" then save and close the file.
I then reopen the file and confirm the change. Then when I open hulu plus I get the device not supported error. When i reopen cSPrefs.xml it has changed the device back to p5wifi.
Can anyone help me please.

[Mod]NFC screen Lock/off enable

Enable NFC while screen locked/Off

excellent!!! thank you so much, this works for me on my stock, rooted, GT-7100
edit: but indeed, the browser keeps crashing the nfc service
edit2: same with chrome as well
Seems to crash on launching YouTube videos as well. There is another method through XposedFramework which might be worth a shot, then install the relevant addon:

Any updates on this? I installed it on my stock SHN n7100 last night and it caused it to constantly lock up on reboot, as the NFC process kept crashing. Ended up having to flash the stock rom back on to fix it.
On custom LK7, no go.
FC on browser. Really hope there's a fix to this soon.
i take it that there's no custom ROM with this feature that we can ask the developer for help on this?
I am sure one day the dev will look into this. This mod gonna make NFC experience so much better. Our S3 counterparts are surely enjoying the freedom of this feature.

Apk updated
it seems better than older
priorly it was FC for browser,market,contact. youtube
I have tested newer one.
latest one gives single FC when opening browser.
Edit : read post#14
Thanks, so only one FC when opening the browser, once it's done that, you can use the browser happily?
I have used Opera and got FC while open it, then i have surf for 3-4 min, and was no FC
as well No FCs on contacts/youtube or play store.
i have opened 3-4 time each application.
Edit :
sorry,
when tried to update from market and selected one contact, it started FCs.
So we have to wait little longer
Sorry again.
pushed the updated apk. still fc at contacts. thanks for the efforts though. appreciate it. guess we gotta wait a little longer. ..

ok, but what have you got that working on? does it work on stock note II GT-N7100, i.e. not sprint, verizon et al
mine is international n7100 rooted. DLL7. I can confirm its working perfectly as 24 hrs of usage.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
great thanks, in my limited 2 minute testing, this is working for me as well on my stock rooted international n7100 (N7100XXDLL4_N7100VFGDLL2_VOD).
NFC works whilst on lock screen but not with screen off. Works fine when phone is unlocked too.
Have you tried that mod + xposed tweak
It having option to select behaviour and with this mod, xposed may support it.
