No no, thank you for searching and obeying rule #1.

Chrome for Android freezes quite frequently.. Lacks desktop mode.. doesn't supports native fonts as stock browser does.. Issues when sorted should be a tidy browser..

It's still "beta". If you need more information, ask MR. SEARCH

Its okay, the idea is very nice it can be extremelu fluid just like chrome browser, but bcoz of the beta, theres a few places where it crashes, i.e. full screen flash but that also may be because of the beta ICS

Ok, thanks for your back ups ! So it's worthy : even in beta, going to dowload and use it

After two weeks using Google Chrome beta, I removed it and come back to the stock browser.
Globaly, I enjoyed the frame and tab process, the browser is fast but for a day to day use, too much lags and freezes yet.
Hope the beta will evolve quickly...
Please oinkylicious and 078gregory don't click on the Thanks button.

Made me lol.........gave you a Thanks
PS. Chrome works perfectly on XXLPQ

Thanks !
As it seems important and I do forgot to mention it : I am using a XXLPJ kernel.
I'll do my best to try it again moving to a XXLPQ...

Although I don't use chrome beta as my main browser, it has worked OK so far in my LPQ...

With AOKP RESURRECTION REMIX ROM i went back testing Chrome beta.
Works properly , smooth. no more FC.
good browser

Works perfectly after latest update, fast, doesn't hang or fc.
I'm using the latest hydrogen rom (aokp).

Google chrome for gingerbread

Since the google chrome browser isnt available for gingerbead is anyone willing to port it so we can use it on our x10 mini/pro
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
I'm joining to the request.
I'm sure someone is cooking on it!
I'm afraid this won't work as it's probably ARMv7 only, and it would be extremely slow on our phones, just like Adobe Flash.

that means that even if we update to ICS we still won't be able to use chrome on our minis?
EDIT
well I've tried chrome beta on pauls-xxx ICS beta 4 and it doesnt work it Force closes
Chrome for Android is ARMv7 only, sorry even with ICS you can't use it.

What a shame!
Nevermind thanks for all.
Hope we will get soon something similar all integrated in a browser without having to use the chrome to phone extention.
Someone should still port it to gingerbread (if possible) for phones with ARMv7 and that don't have ics.

Thanks for the App.
But there is no Chrome to mobile option in that one no?
How coud I get my bookmarks from PC into my mobile without using chrome to phone?
No way?
In fact i was expecting that it could be like chrome for ICS!
What is the difference withe the other Chrome that we can find on the market?
Thanks in advance, best Regards,

It stays a while on the Chrome logo thing and then if force close. Maybe due the low DPI (I set it to 105)?

CM9 A2 and latest Chrome Beta Update... not compatible

I just updated my Chrome Beta from the Market... and now it's refusing to start!
I get an error message "Chrome is not supported for your version of Android. Version 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwitch) is the minimal supported version"
HAHAHA!!! What the heck! I am on ICS!!!
So be aware... do not update Chrome!
I am on CM9 A2... was working fine until I went to market... noticed an update... installed update... BOOM!!! not compatible!
I cleared data... uninstall and reinstall... no dice.
If you do a search for Chrome it shows up... installs fine... which would mean that it's supported but it's not.
So do not update to the latest Beta. Wait until Google figures out what's wrong with it first.
Damn... now I have to see if I had made a back up of the old one... Does any one have an apk of the previous builds?
Got it back!!! I didn't have a backup but my Captivate ICSSGS V4.2 had Chrome Beta... without the latest update... I got Chrome working on TP working again. Phew!!! I was starting to like Chrome a lot on my TP...

Google has disabled Chrome for custom ROMS, including CM9. I cannot post a link due to my post count, but there are articles out there.

That stinks!!! I have not read that article... but I just saw a blurp on Engadget about the enhancements the new updated version brings! Why would Google want to shut down custom ICS roms!!! Open Source... wasn't that the name of their game????!!!
YEAH What the heck, I did the same thing as you, I downloaded the update and bammmm "Chrome is not supported for your version of Android"
Ohh come on...
I am so glad I saw this thread before I updated Chrome on my TP. I installed ICS on my GS2 today and saw the update. It ran fine on there (it's a "custom" ROM based on the stock rom), but when I got home that would have been the first update I ran on the TP. It's a good thing the WiFi here at the office doesn't work in CM9, else I'd be in the same boat!

Here is how I fixed it: Back up your build.prop, and find the line for ro.build.id and change the value to IML74K. Reboot. Enjoy new Chrome update.
I haven't found that the change breaks anything.
hey thanks!

Thanks, changing the build prop worked wonderfully on my HP Touchpad.
Also, the fix worked beautifully on my phone as well:

I found that it lagged horribly anyway. Is this only me?

It's rather laggy browser, yes. Loading time is not nice on TPm and on SGS it's nearly unusable because of the ram consumption.
By the way, it's not the Google who is breaking Chrome, it's CM9

Problem is not on google but CM9 use Gingerbread build id instead of ICS build id.

I would think this means there is a good chance this can be resolved in the next version of CM9 then.

Vine compatable roms

Twitter's video snippet ap, Vine, just launched in the Android market. Unfortunately, so far it's been crashing on the custom roms I've tried it on (Jamie's Revolt and SuperNexus). I was wondering if anyone's had any success with the app on their phones. If so, please share which rom you are running.
Thanks.
The reviews are pretty negative regarding this appp -- two stars.
But lt looks like the developer just fixed crash problems for the S2 using OS 4.1.2 so I'm guessing it may be a while before it works smoothly with 4.2.2.
Don't quote, reply. If you quote, edit.
This is not the app. It is the acual Rom that's the problem. CM based roms have no support to 3rd party apps when it comes to the camera. So snapchat, instagram, vine, etc will not work with 4.2.2 roms. If you want the camera based apps to work, you'll have to go over to 4.1.2. (Blackstar jelly or padawan rom.)

Ahh... interesting. I'll give it a test and report back.
OPGT was 100% correct. The app works great (or at least as intended) with Padawan JB V2. Thanks for the help.

Yeah, the app sucks. It's share features don't work as described either. And it's missing facebook integration.

Don't know or care what Vine is, but apps that use the Camera work just fine on 4.2.2 for me. Camera Zoom FX, Grocery King, QR Code Scanners, etc etc.

[TUT] Enable Bookmark sync in CM11 KitKat 4.4.2 AOSP Browser

To enable Bookmarks sync in CM 11 4.4.2 AOSP Browser, install the attached apk as a normal app, then go to accounts- Google and check "Browser". That's it, now your bookmarks will sync with the browser.
Work well on LX CM11 20140121 nightly! Thanks a lot!
EDIT:
Work on my nexus 7 2012 too. I think it's compatible with every 4.4.2 aosp browser
Works on my AT&T S4, but those are some shady-ass permissions. Are they all necessary?
Works great on my Galaxy Nexus on CM11
Just amazing! :victory:
Works on Note 3. Was very shocked to see this missing.
Very thankful for this app :good:

Yes, but starting with Android 4.4, they've removed it...i don't know the reason, maybe they wanted us to use Chrome.

Hi georgeiulian89. Thanks for this.
If you have a TI backup from CM10 you can restore the app from there instead. Look for the app "Google Bookmarks Sync" (com.google.android.syncadapters.bookmarks) and restore. I've checked mine and the amount of permissions it has is crazy.
thanks man
It works. Nexus s CM11 4.4 kitkat.
Work well in my N7000 + CM11.
Good job :good::good::good:

Chrome for mobile needs some serious work. Whenever I have it installed, it screws up my phone's ability to save my choice for default app. Everytime I open a link, youtube video, etc., it asks me what to use, 'Internet' 'Chrome' or 'Youtube' yes I cleared cache and data for all 3 apps. It's either a TouchWiz glitch or a chrome glitch, either way stock browser + this apk = awesome. No clue why 'Internet' sync is missing in KitKat, very odd.
This apk worked perfectly for me on Verizon Note 2, i605 running KitKat 4.4.2. Thanks OP :good:
