Works great on CM9! Browser sync works across devices, tested it.. however, it FCs when I go to Settings.
Unfortunately, ICS only. Also had to change country to USA and use a proxy to get it from the Market. Otherwise, no problems!

Shame on Google for what? For choosing to release an app only to a selected version of Android? It's not like you lost anything, you still have the stock browser, and as you said, Opera.
Anyone who links to an APK makes my day!
(It's not available in Sweden, so I'll have to sideload it)
Update: Nevermind, Google+ search was faster.
Grab it while it's hot: http://db.tt/mXhhmr4R
Anyone found out how to fix FC when tap on Settings?
speed good ؟
Change your LCD density to 120 and settings will work. Do what you need and change back to desired density.

To my knowledge, Chrome Beta is ICS-only. If you can somehow spoof your Android version (no idea if that's even possible), then you might be able to run it, otherwise, you'll need an ICS-based ROM (such as icedBOCA, CM9, etc)
Error after updating Chrome Beta app
After updating Chrome Beta it now crashes on startup with message that it is not supported for my version of Android and that Version 4.0 ICS is the minimum supported version.
I am running ICS and first version worked fine. I saw in another thread that the ro.build.id in build.prop could be changed to IML74K for the Samsung i9000. It worked for my i9000.
Not sure if this, or similar, would work for P1000?
*update* build.prop update did work.

So I just updated to 2.2 using the leaked Froyo non root method with my At&t Samsung captivate. Everything seems to work fine but my downloading speed is terribly slow in the marketplace, my youtubing and websurfing speed is still fast though. Anyone know what's up with this?
A lot of market related issues can be fixed by going in to:
Menu - Settings - Manage Applications - All
then scroll down to Market, select it, then clear cache/data.
i tried that but there wasn't any data/cache to clear it was just 0.0kb....I tried rebooting and I went back to 2.1 and the dling speed works fine. I then rooted and flashed di11i's 6.0 and everything worked but once again dling from android marketplace was super slow while web browsing, youtubing, etc. was fast....
I have noticed that with some of the roms the market does not adjust correctly the first few times you access it. I went to Cognition 3.04 and at first it took forever to load, now it works fine after a week or so.
a week huh? Hmm maybe I'll just give it time....I am liking the di11i's 6.0 with blue theme very much =P

Do you have a generic Android ID? Some of the roms change your ID to the same everyone else has. Market throttles because it looks like 1000 downloads are all going to the same phone. Try Android ID Changer, if you have your original, and change it back. Or just change a few characters so your not on the same ID.
how would i find my Android ID? And how would I change it?

It will tell you your current ID and let you change.
Yeas I wish I had known about this android ID before flashing, I'm currently using the Odin 1.0 flashed 2.1.1's android ID, so just any characters and it'll be fine?
You should now be able to see it in the Market.
Current version is 1.5.0
No discernable changes from 1.4.1 though so not exactly a Honeycomb-optimized application yet.
Yeah a pleasant surprise to see it in my list of apps needing update.
The latest update to the Netflix app now officially supports access in Canada. Tested on my Transformer and Nexus S. It does not appear to be optimized for tablets in terms of taking advantage of the screen realestate, but at least it finally works without having to mess around with VPNs to access streaming outside the U.S.
I can't seem to find it on the Market anywhere even searching for Netflix doesn't come upwith anything
I have this problem with other apps. For me it was caused by the ROM that I was using. The Prime ROM seems to be better for me than the Revolution HD. What ROM are you using?
EDIT - just checked and my TF running Prime 2.0.4 doesn't show the app either.
EDIT 2 - Try the online market. It worked for me!

Glitchy playback.
So has anyone noticed that although the 1.5 version of Netflix's video is sharper, the play back is glitch compared to the 1.4.1 version?
It's so glitchy that I've opt to stay with the 1.4.1 and suffer the "update available" messages.
BTW, I'm running 3.2.1 unrooted version of HoneyComb.

I installed a Chrome Beta apk I got from some of the other forums here at XDA, but I seem to be getting FCs every time I launch the app, was wondering if anyone got it working or if anyone has found a fix for this issue.
It requires hw acceleration. Won't work for us yet until we get that achieved.

That makes sense, I did manage to download an apk that does not FC every time, but I can't really says it's usable.
Here's hoping the CM9 team or some other dev manages to make it work someday.

I have it installed. No FC's, but it doesn't work. As stated, it needs hardware acceleration. It went through the entire setup, sign in, and import of all normal information. But when you try to load anything, you stare at a blank screen.

Was I the only one who thought I'd lose flash capability after updating to jelly bean, because I didn't
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda premium
It is already known that side loading Flash player will still work on jellybean.
I had flash installed before the update and it works just fine after without any problems
Restored mine using using Titanium. No problems so far...
You guys who are side reloaded your Flash app, what did you do before hand, did you uninstall Flash from ICS prior?
I upgraded to Jelly Bean, Flash was already present in ICS beforehand and it's still present in Jelly Bean after the update. No sideloading, back-up/restore required.
Flash never worked in Chrome, but it's always worked in Stock, and there's a new browser that I don't think many may know about, but Mozilla has a new mobile browser that blows the Android Firefox away, it's called Aurora and it's the only browser where I can visit Youtube like it's a regular Intel x86 browser and watch Youtube vids and comment without ever needing the Youtube app.
Yes it's Aurora and it's from Mozilla that makes Firefox. It's everything Firefox on Android should be.
Had Flash installed before the update, updated to JB, flash is still there, works fine. (Chrome has no plugin support whatsoever, Flash didn't work there on ICS either.)
There's been a thread about Jelly Bean and Flash since 15 July in the Android General forum. Do your research, seriously. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336

Still in beta - not very stable. Won't stay open long enough to browse to flash sites to test it. Maybe not as compatible with 4.2.1.
Aurora is the alpha testing phase of Firefox. It's not a new browser.
I am using Cromi-X4.6.x
More often than not, Flash is unstable and FC's my stock browser, anyone else?

Haven't noticed any issues on Stock. Do you have Flash set to Always or On Demand?
JB works fine with Flash on my tablets and phones. Only does not work with stock browser and Chrome. Does not work on new Dolphin, but that is because the devs killed the function. Works fine with Dolphin 9.4.1 beta though.

Hi Folks
Feeling too happy to report that even GB users can get a glimpse of what Hangout 2.0 performs on android 4.4 KITKAT!!
First of all let me announce the device I've tested it on. Mine is a Dell Streak running GB 2.3.3 Traveller's DSC ROM.
How I did it:
1. I have my phone rooted
2. Renamed existing hangout apk so that if in case i need a backup. Mine was in /data/app folder
3. Moved and renamed attached hangouts 2 apk as "com.google.android.talk-2.apk" (without quotes) - don't know if this a useless step?
4. changed permission of the renamed apk to rw-r--r--
5. Cleared dalvik cache
6. Opened the app and enabled SMS on the prompt and allowed it to collect all existing SMS messages
7. Voila! everythings works so far.
Features:
1. SMS integration
2. More fluid (in my opinion)
3. Online/offline notifier
4. Still exploring the differences
5. Will check if this can be integrated into the ROM itself or not by getting rid of MMS.apk
Need your feedbacks and press thanks if it works for you too. :victory:
Link: here u go! My dropbox shared URL
Came to know that video chat in hangout wasn't working with only the steps above. to fix
1. Download the libvideochat_jni.so
2. Move to system/lib
3. Change permission to rw-r--r--
4. Try video calling. Should work now!
5. Let me know
*NEW ADDITION*
HOLO themed black version (via- makers of Ultima ROM) of the same 2.0.012 version here
IMP: Please do NOT update hangout or else you will lose SMS functionality.
Successful, tha nks
This worked just fine on my Samsung Proclaim with 2.3.4. I had just been trying to sideload the new 2.0 yesterday, and it wouldn't work and I was afraid I might be getting screwed here in the near future. I use google voice extensively, and with the recent announcement that google would be dropping xmpp support for voice, I can tell that it a sign of much greater hangouts/talk integration and I'm a little concerned that my numerous pieces of older hardware are going to be left out in the dust. So, I had tried to sideload the new one yesterday, and it wouldn't work, but following your prescribed steps, it's working just fine now.

This step shouldn't be necessary if embedding it in /system. Hangouts.apk works just as well. Like I mentioned in my ROM thread, I'll have to try this out. If I like the change, then I'll update Traveller DSC.
Have you attempted this with any of the other KitKat apps?
Works for me by just installing it and not pushing it as a system app. Android 2.3.7

If you don't have to add that file, you might want to check to see if your ROM already includes it.
On a side note, the KitKat version of Hangouts is apparently available on the Play Store, but only for ICS and up.

The newest one released yesterday will install on Gingerbread phones. However, SMS has been removed for folks below 4.0. The previous version pulled from the Nexus 5 did put Hangouts SMS on Gingerbread.
One thing the portal article doesn't mention is that Google does version checking on its files. If the API version isn't sufficient what is downloaded is an older version that would work at the given API version. Case in point is Gmail. The current version is 4.6, as my ICS tablet will attest. However on a Gingerbread device, a freshly delivered version from the Play Store will be version 2.3.6.
In the case of Hangouts, the version being downloaded to Gingerbread devices is version 1.1 build 12 or something similar. Only ICS and up will get Hangouts 2.0. So to summarize, it's not that certain features are being disabled (as this thread can attest to) it's that Google is sending an older version of the app to the device.

It's kind of silly really, since the 2.0 version works fine on my Gingerbread ROM. Sending texts, receiving texts, pictures, video etc. Even the holo style settings menus work. Nothing appears badly broken, but from time to time it might force close.
The API support is within the APK, because otherwise it wouldn't allow you to install it. So if google strip that away then they're doing it simply to get people to update to a newer version of Android.
The file here is 2.0.012 (884159-30). The version Play Store will install is 1.2.018 (849105-30).
In one respect it isn't all that silly. Gingerbread is a few years old now and Google wants to focus on Android 4.x. I actually can understand that. What I would like to see, but never will, is Dell going back and making a KitKat ROM for the Streak, especially knowing KitKat will work on the Streak.
I can understand that they'd like people to upgrade, but blocking a feature for no good reason is silly. The 2.0 version clearly works. Yes theres the force close that happens 2% of the time, but that's going to be a bug in the code and not an API issue, because if it were API related it wouldn't even run or it'd force close every single time.
Of course I'm due for an upgrade anyway, and I probably will soon, but it still would of been nice to see google officially support the 2.0 version on Gingerbread.

Yes, that is a known issue even for Nexus 5 owners. An application bug probably to be fixed in next few versions. For now few people have found changing their contacts to international format helpful (like for Indian nos changing it from 022xxxxxxxx to +9122xxxxxxxx). It didn't work for many but there is no harm in trying for now. Do make sure to force sync contacts and then switch off your phone and switch back on.
Let us know if it helps!

Hey man, can you see if the latest Hangouts update with messaging will work on Gingerbread? I'm certain it won't, but maybe you can give it a shot again.
I checked all later versions but those don't work with SMS support. May be @theos0o can help us by enabling SMS support for all devices as he did for FB messenger.
