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 can't download it from the market since I don't live in the US, but I get the same results as you, it loads but all pages are blank, and I can see the synced results on the omnibox but no page returns.
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.

And it works!
Edit: My current setup is a AMOLD dinc, running CM7 with 2.3.3. 16GB msd in to.
Download from market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient
Netflix is apparently blocking unsupported devices when you try to login, I uploaded the apk to my xoom to test it and it did not let me login.
I have the app and have not yet been able to get it to load. I just get a black screen.
However, I noted that the details on the market page state it is official for the Incredible running 2.2, and I'm running CM7.
Has anyone else tried with CM7?
Assuming there are indeed compatibility issues, I'm hopeful the devs will find a way to make it work, because I'm not looking forward to going back to stock, but I need Netflix.
(Actually. Right now, I'm thinking about loading up one of the dual-boot options with some stock Froyo. This is worth the effort.)
Edit: The dual-boot option is awesome and all... But then, I tried again in CM7, and I found that I spent a few hours heavily tweaking my phone for nothing but the thrill; the app works, and I was watching Ong Bak 3 in seconds. Since I don't need a Sense rom, I undid the dual-boot configuration.
So. Works on CM7.
Just saw this. Not showing up for me in the market. I assume its a CM7 thing.
Maybe we can find locate an apk.

Can someone pull the apk please? I know it probably won't work, but I can't wait to try running it on my DX and Xoom!
Installed from the market, but all I get is a black screen for a long time, then an FC...
CM 7.0.3
Just tested and it does stream on CM7.
Works fine for me as well.
CM7.0.3
running CM 7.0.2.1 DINC, and program will shut off right after I try to log in
If somebody could post the APK, Thunderbolt folks would be grateful. I know it is blocking unsupported devices, but our devs want to take a crack at it. Thanks!
I am on CM Nightlies and it doesn't work. Considering a move to 7.0.0.3 just for netflix.
Works for me on CM and my DInc

Im getting the exact same thing on latest CM7 nightly
Running stock (rooted) 2.2 and mine force closes immediately after trying to launch the app. Somebody mentioned something about Flash 10.3 so I updated and still get force close. Any ideas?
Not sure if this info helps, but it works fine on mine:
CyanogenMod-7-04172011-NIGHTLY-Inc

Sorry, I'm not sure how that converts to the actual nightly number, but its what I was able to gleen out of the Rom Manager.
Hi, so before i ask let me explain. i came across a honeycomb leak for my sony google tv internet box, I was messing with it and i found the chrome.apk i was able to pass it to my flasdrive. the Asus recognizes it but wont install it. im running stock so if i root will it work or no?
Thanks in adavance
Post it and someone will sure to try to install it.

Zip it and the upload it as an attachment, see attachment below
okay thank you, really looking forward to using this on the asus! as it should be way better then stock browser.
Mines rooted... still won't install.
Moved it to the /system/apps directory and still no go.
Tried the /data/apps directory too and still nothing.
Boo, this would be cool if it would work.
you think someone can modified the apk to get it work? atleast on tablets.
It's most likely not going to work because that version of chrome is assumingly optimised for Intel chips and Google TV boxes only at the moment.
It will come for Android devices eventually though
wow that really sucks, it would've been awesome to see it working on tablets.
The built-in browser is essentially Chrome but without plug-in support.
It could be, but chrome is 10x better then the stock browser. everytime I use the stock browser it crashes.

by this, do you mean the desktop version? because if it is, then you might be comparing apples and oranges.
but comparing apples to apples, chrome and the stock browser does use the same rendering engines. the actual apps are merely shells for the rendering engine. if you want to try another webkit browser, try dolphin.
and if you want to try something else, try opera (very good browser).
anywho, if you find that the apk doesn't work, i bet it has framework dependencies that are only in that specific version of honeycomb. try uploading the entire rom, and maybe someone might be able to figure out what else it needs.

Thanks for the reply, but no I wasnt talking about the Desktop version that would be even better lol im comparing it to the google tv and the stock on the transformer. i've been using the latest Chrome since I update the unit(Google tv) and it hasnt force close or crash once. it works very well.
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!

who needs chrome when its running only on ICS and there's Opera?
Shame on google.

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.
Sorry if this has been solved before with ICS, but I'm stumped. I had a Moto Triumph before this. It had Gingerbread, and I installed CM7 onto it. Rooted, overclocked, the whole nine yards. I tried to install Flash from Play but it said it's not supported in my country (WTF, thanks, Adobe!) So I found an APK elsewhere and installed it. Bam! Flash works in Dolphin Browser. It's pretty slow, but it works.
Now, I did the same thing for my Photon Q and its preinstalled ICS. Any browser I try, including Opera Mini Next, Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin Browser and the default Android browser, I just get a blue cube icon where the flash object should be. I downloaded an app from Play that runs .SWF files and it displays the exact same blue cube.
Is there a workaround that anyone is aware of? If Adobe doesn't start supporting mobile devices, I think we'll be seeing Flash replaced before very long. By an open standard.
Officially Adobe has stopped supporting Flash via mobile going forward....but I believe you can still download/install the apk for whatever the last released version for each Android version via this link (you'll have to scroll down to where it lists 'Flash player for Android 4.0 archives' and grab the one at the top of that list in the case of the Q):

You're quite welcome....its not often I'm in a position to be able to help someone rather than being one of the ones asking questions but I was prepared on that one, I read that elsewhere and bookmarked it in my Photon Q folder for later use myself when I get one. I almost did this past weekend but decided to hold off still for now....then when I read in one of the other threads that Roam Control isn't (at least currently) working on it, that's kind of a deal breaker for me until that's fixed. Forcing roaming while at work is just shy of an absolute must unfortunately. :/
On Google play I've seen reviews where chrome beta does work for them, but there are also many other reviews that say that chrome crashes right after opening the app. I'm guessing the crashes only happen on custom roms, all the reviews say so. I'm just wondering why this happens.
I wish I knew. It crashes on CM10 for me on my Skyrocket.

Custom roms are not official releases. They have bits and pieces missing that the official will have. It's amazing as many apps do run on them.

Same for me, it crashes when it gets to the loading synced bookmarks part. If you clear cache for it, then start it up, it's more obvious. I've removed it from my phone. Works fine on me Nexus 7 with CM10.1, so it's not all custom ROM's.

I think only the official skyrocket tw rom works with chrome beta... Hope to see this fixed, I'm curious to see how much difference there is between the default chrome and chrome beta.
