Any modified APKs around that allows one to install it on GB? I'm staying away from ICS until the source comes out. Too many problems woh my attempts. I miss Chrome a lot though as I have tons of bookmarks from my desktop on it.

So, does Chrome not support Flash? I went to watch a video on my phone, and it just said "looking for plugin". Videos work fine in stock browser...

Chrome works perfectly fine for me on CM9 A5.
However, I does not have flash, so just a heads up.

Chrome does not support flash and Google has no plans to change that.

Because adobe isn't updating flash for mobile platforms after ICS.

That's right, I forgot about that. Thanks.

Chrome has become my daily browser since I started using Dolphin with my Nexus One.
With the last update for Chrome and FF09, it's the smoothest browser I've used on Android. However, there are still instances where scrolling is jerky and sometimes scrolling stops working for half a minute. It seems like it only happens when I try to scroll while a page hasn't finished loading, but all of the browsers I've tried seem to have issues with scrolling an incomplete page. Closing and reopening the tab will fix the jerky scrolling.
Chrome also freezes on me forcing me to force stop it through settings -> applications. I cannot reliably reproduce this problem and it is annoying, but the benefits of having access to the open tabs on my computer on my phone outweigh this problem.
I do wish Google would iterate the Chrome beta app as fast as they iterate the desktop version of Chrome beta because I'm assuming they mean for this browser to become to default one on Android and jerky scrolling and freezes is pretty bad.

I absolutely do not know which Chrome people are using that they find "buttery smooth" and "fast". It is a terrible laggy and crappy browser on my end. The last update killed it for me where it only launches to a white screen and just freezes. If and when it does decide to work properly, it's stutters and jib-jabs when scrolling, no flash, just all around terrible. No wonder it's surname is still BETA.
Dolphin browser (mini or HD) puts it to shame, really.

You can also try firefox... It's very smooth, and untill now, I didnt find any problem

I like it but I never use it. No flash is... well, no flash. No plugin support like the rest of em either. you'd think with google being the og devs for android. Could make it all work out.

I'll be beyond disappointed if this sticks. I hate Apple and really loved working from my phones. Android isdominating the market and Apple does this? Wow
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Apple has been pressuring everyone to ditch flash for years. From what ive heard Jobs HATED Adobe which is why no apple product ever supported flash. If its not Apple tech or built specifically for and around apple, this is what they would do. Iphones dominance early on is what helped them succeed in killing flash.
If apple doesn't like something they will go to extremes to destroy it. They have to protect their one good idea per decade somehow I suppose!

Ya i checked settings and tried both user interfaces. I'm not that much of a noob. I tried 4 browsers. It works after installing the apk file i found online. I was really pissed off. The flash installer from Google play doesn't work. Search Google for flash player apk.

Facebook looking awfully weird

Hey everyone. My first post and I'm excited to have changed from CM7 to CM10! Thanks to the devs btw for making this possible. Anywho, I've searched for this already on here an Google to no avail. I've installed the Facebook app on my IC2 and for some reason, it looks like entirely different than the original. Doesn't look the same. I've provided a snapshot of it so hope it helps. And it's not just the layout that's changed but even my cover photo isn't visible. Anyone know what's going on?

Im having that issue too, I just went back to friendcaster
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app

mine did that when i came to PA, after a restart or two it gave me the option to update my facebook app and it went back to normal

Yeah unfortunately hasn't given me the option to update... yet. Hopefully it does in the near future...
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app

I thought this was the normal look for mobile? I haven't seen any other versions.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium

I think it has to do with what the Facebook servers are giving you on cm10. I think its because jelly bean devices are all higher resolution than ours. It does it on the mobile website too, but if you change the user agent to iPhone on your browser it will look normal.

Phantom, parts of it look the same. But with the current version of Facebook for Android, I guess you could say that my layout for my wall looks entirely different. If you check it out on the Play store, mines doesn't look like that. Only the top portion seems to be okay. I don't even have a cover photo! But it's more of an annoyance than anything.

This has happened to me as well on CM9. I think the Facebook app thinks you are on a higher resolution device.

Yeah, I'm actually glad people know what I mean. I'm starting to agree with that. Probably explains why when I go to the Facebook site on the browser it sends me to the Facebook full site instead of the mobile. Hope they fix it soon!

So just thought I'd like to give a last update for this before I leave it floating in cyberspace... I upgraded to Global 4.1.2 JB and my Facebook layout came back. So basically everything is back to normal... I think. Maybe it was just a CM9 thing but cheers!

Sooooo.. one LAST update, I promise. Switched back to CM9 Psycho because CM10 right now was just too buggy for my phone. Everything with Psycho has been awesome, including camera. Anyways, that also brought me back to the original Facebook that I had when I started this post and it basically reverted but I rather have a stable phone than a distorted Facebook look. But I guess the problem just comes with CM9 altogether. Anyways, cheers! :silly:

i just use friendcaster its better all around anyways. may not be pretty but its hella functional. im sticking with that till we get a native fb app like we were promised.

I'm trying to use friend caster but the ads are killing me. I tried using lucky patcher to remove them but had no luck

[APP] Flashplayer for JB

Attached is the flashplayer.apk that works on JB...should be able to install with apk manager...if that doesn't work move to /system/app and reboot...i take no credit for this as I just found it and figured I would post for all to benefit.

How do i test to see it works?

Play a flash video on internet
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

is anyone experiencing flash not supporting/allowing full screen? had this question asked but since I don't use JB I can't answer it...

Does this work for any JB based rom? or only for aosp roms? Id like to switch to touch wiz JB based roms from ICS. Flash is the only reason why ive stayed with ICS

Just our luck that when we need to find a video that requires flash for testing purposes, we can't find a one. LoL

There is a point to that, Flash is going away for HTML5. Though is Vimeo flash or HTML though?

Works for me on stock browser. If you need a testing site, try the YouTube.com desktop site from your device. It still uses flash for their videos. In browser hit menu/desktop. Thanks for posting this. It's also in the Android themes/apps section on XDA.

This flashplayer works but is there any way to stop the phone from going in to sleep mode while watching flash video? I never had this problem in ICS but when I switched to a JB rom now when the screen times out it goes off and kills the video rather than stay on the length of the video that is playing in flash. Thanks in advance for any help.

Been looking for this answer for months.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

is this the same as the adobe flash player app? or is it a modded version of it?

TF101 Apps on Nexus 7

I've been doing alot of searching, haven't found a definitive answer.
My question. Can the "Mylibrary.apk" work on the n7? I have pushed my copy of the apk to /system /app to no avail. Won't even open, crashes to "unfortunately, Mylibrary has stopped". I've also changed file permissions appropriately.
I know, that should give me the answer I need, but I'm curious if maybe I need more than just the apk, so that's what I'm looking for, an answer to this question. Do I need anything else, other than a TF101, to make it work?
It's not about finding a book app, I could just use the nook app. I like Mylibrary from Asus.
Thanks for any responses

Exactly what I'm wondering. Guess I could've been that straightforward as well
I know I had it running on my n7 before, but had to remove it to update, I believe, and I can't for the life of me remember where I got the info on installing it
If it matters, I'm on rooted 4.1.2. Also if it matters, I have my dpi set at 160

I have a TF101 and the MyLibrary app doesnt even work with CM10 or CM9 on that. You need ASUS framework for it.
