[Q] Chrome crashing on launch CM11 - M9 and M10 - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After I updated to the current Chrome it's always been crashing on launch. I knew that CM11 M10 would be coming out soon so I thought I'd wait for that to see if that would fix it. It didn't.
I've done a factory wipe and installed CM11 M10 and then installed chrome. Still crashes on launch. Does this happen to anyone else? What can I do to fix it? If I can't fix it can someone point me in the direction of an older Chrome install to see if that is stable?
I'm running(crashing) Chrome 37.0.2062.117
Thanks

It's a known issue on CM11 and also @lovejoy777 SlimKat ROMs. I believe it's something to do with the ROMs compiled with the new lenario tool chain but I could be wrong. Last I heard they (the developers) were looking into it so sit tight I'm sure a fix will be announced.

I have switched to Mercury.

Any of the OtterX threads will most likely have a fix announced first.

Everything greyed out after logging in?

Hey. As of two days ago whenever I log in while browsing XDA on my phone, all the text on the page goes from black to grey. This doesn't happen if I stay logged out. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
It's almost as if the page loaded some kind of popup and greyed everything out (but there's no popup).

I have the same problem. If I turn off java script it solves the issue but then every other website is crap.
Any ideas? It only happens on my android transformer prime, like some overlay on the screen.
Hmm, this is a new one. What browser are you using?
Was using the stock JB/CM10 browser (for the S2/Hercules).
Noticed this issue went away a soon as I reverted back to CM9.
I am also having this problem on my Note using Maxthon browser.
For me it's working pretty good. CM9.1 stock browser + dorimanx kernel 5.90.
Trying to upload my screenshot from XDA app but it's giving me an error...both tapatalk or foum option

Anybody ever figure this one out? I am experiencing the same. I am on Galaxy Note with stock browser and CM10. If I log out, it all looks normal, when I log in, is all cloudy, pics and all...
Edit: It went away for me if I disable java script.....but this breaks other stuff so its not a fix, just a symptom lol

Confirming that switching the Theme to 2010 solves the issue (multiple devices).
Thank you.

[Q] Netflix broken

Build number JWR66N breaks Netflix on all devices. Wait for the next OTA or install it yourself with one of the guides.
I'm still on JSS15J though... no updates yet.
I had a similar problem. I just cleared the app data, force quit, restarted the app, and logged back in. I'm on JSS15Q though. Not sure if that matters.

This does in fact matter. As far as I know, netflix is broken on JWR66N and will only work on the JSSXXX builds.
You can fix this issue manually here. You must have the ADB tools on your computer, and can get them from this thread. This is how I fixed mine. Just make sure you pay attention and know what you're doing.
EDIT: I recommend going to JSS15Q from whatever build you are on.

A reboot didn't do it for me. This only happened on my first run of Netflix on my new N7. Netflix was one of many apps that were automatically restored on sign-in, and I'm thinking it restored the data along with it. I don't recall being asked to sign in the first time I ran it, when it failed to work properly. After clearing the data and signing in, it worked fine for me. Either way, it works now.

I am having the same type of problem.... I have a rooted 2013 N7 on the latest firmware (JSS15J).
If I use the netflix from the play store I get stuck on the first red screen with the spinning logo and can never get past that point. I have tried uninstalling about 100 times, clearing app data, force closing app, rebooting, etc.... nothing works for me.
I had to go back and install an older version of netflix to at least get it working at all.
Is this happening to anyone else and if so please let us know the exact steps needed to work around this.
Thanks!

To be quite honest, stock android on this device is buggy as hell so far. I am a stock/rooted whenever possible kind of guy generally speaking(I always prefer it since you can get OTA's etc), but I was forced to switch to CyanogenMod 10.2 KANGS on this device, due to crazy bugs. They are now a thing of the past. From the smart-cover bug to the GPS bug to the Netflix BREAK, all of these problems are no problem for me. So go get PA or CM or something until Google/Asus gets their **** together! :good:
Same here. Stock non rooted. Can't get past the red screen.

Same issue here on non-rooted JSS15Q. It works after a reboot though but eventually stops working. No idea, but frustrating as hell.

If you go back to 2.4.0 build 939, the bluetooth audio problem goes away, here's a copy from my backup:

May need to install, and do a force stop / clear data before it connects. The Netflix Android app seems to have more bugs than functionality.
{"result":"error","error_code":"1012","error_string":"Cannot find requested object id "}
Got that message when I went to dl.

I use chrome on Android and haven't seen that - does it change when you zoom?
It'll change if I zoom, scroll and "mess" around, but I can't reproduce it with the same behaviour one time after another. It's random. And sometimes it don't change at all, it stays unreadable.

@bitpushr it's something with the latest version from play store. I reverted to 32.0.1700.99 and the issue is gone.

More information:
Some time ago I used chrome beta and had the same issue. That's why I started to use the stable chrome and everything was fine.
Though, I guess now with the latest stable release on play store the changes in the previous beta got merged.
Thanks

Is there any way to send feedback for chrome? I left a feedback, but know nobody sees play store feedbacks
Hah, not sure. I've been messing around with line-height CSS settings, I thought perhaps that would fix the issue. I believe it has something to do with re-flow or lack of re-flow. It seems to me to be a bug within Chrome mobile browser since it doesn't show up on desktop. Perhaps if we all submit a "Report an Issue" eventually someone will see it?
@bitpushr I bet we can solve this by enabling or disabling some of the flag at chrome://flags
Don't know wich one though

Same here. Not just on xda either.

It seems to be a bug in Chrome out of our control - I was able to recreate the issue but various CSS settings (line-height) did nothing to fix the issue. It has to do with Chrome redraw I believe. Someone reported that they saw the same behavior on other sites so figured this one is above us. Please report the bug to the Chrome team as I think this is the best way to fix this.

Purchased Apps Failing after Google Play Svcs Update

I got a recent update to Google Play Services and now it appears that any purchased apps no longer work. I've noticed this on a number of ROMs so it's not a ROM issue.
I've wiped Dalvik/cache and even cleared data/cache for both Google Play Store and Google Play Services. Nothing seems to be making it work.
I wonder if anybody else has experienced this issue and (hopefully) have a fix for it?
Thanks.

Now, THIS is interesting... If I stay on stock kernel, I don't have a problem. As soon as I load KT's kernel (including the latest version), that's when I have a problem. It's only started after the last few CM updates.

It has to do with the DRM libraries. On my previous phone, there were issues and dhacker, who is working on the ROM for that particular phone, stated he had to find the correct libraries for it.
This also affected Google Play Movies & TV on the other phone, but eventually, dhacker got it working.
Just give the devs time. They should get it worked out eventually.
