both are the same but the .crx file is more convenient. Open the extensions tab and drag&drop the unzipped .crx file there.
the first zip is left by the author for the developers.
Thanks so much for getting this post on XDA!
Awesome, all my support. But aren't you considering some Firefox love, by any chance? :good:

I tried to add a background checker that checks for unread forums (for subscribed users) every minute and alerts the user if there are new forum posts. Seems to work for me.
EDIT:
I changed the way it notifies by showing a small number on the icon, it is less annoying than showing an alert every minute.
And also, this version shows your SUBSCRIPTIONS, not XDA News.
This looks fantastic, I can't wait for the Firefox add-in to be released!

Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up - I can't believe I have lived without this for so long. Just fantastic.
Agree, fantastic tool.
Im using mozilla as there is an add-on for that too.
So, except for google maps and youtube videos what other uses for ChromeToPhone are there?
Well, you can push any link to your phone and not depend on QR codes. I think thats cool. Just an example, you come across a nice picture you want to use as a wallpaper. Just push a button, beats fiddling with bluetooth/usb after DLing or even using a QR code generator.
Totally agree!
This's just amazing!
I love it and I'm sure I'll use it often!

You're able to dial a phone numbers. You just have to select the phone number in the browser then click on the button. It'll directly send it to your phone and open the dialer application.
Also you're able to select a text and after you click the button in the browser it will be copied in your Android clipboard
Totally! I've used it a couple of times today already.
The fact that it sends maps straight to Google Maps on the phone is gonna be super handy for trips.
I was looking for this. Awesome tool!
It is cool, but it needs to be able to go the other way too.
How many times have you clicked on a page that's slow or cumbersome on your phone, one that's just better suited to your laptop browser? Would be so handy to be able to send from phone to chrome.
It was raised on the code.google site but they said they're not working on it
i found firefox/chrome plugin but i also want IE8 plugin, any one found this yet?
yep, tried it yesterday on mozilla firefox and it works great

It is a puch service so your phone doesn't actively check for the links sent to the phone but it is pushed to the phone and then the phone downloads it.
Just how the push email works.
Clever stuff!
Can you use it for file transfer, eg put the file into dropbox, copy the shared link, Chrome2Phone and download from the phone's browser?
EDIT: Just realised, there's a Dropbox app, er, for that.

Is there any way to disable the notification sound for this app. I know i can disable notification sounds, but i would like to disable it only for this...
And maybe I should ask this on the Maps brut thread, but when sending a link from google maps it opens in stock Maps app instead of Maps brut (which I chose for default), if I uninstall stock Maps app it just won't load the link.
Does anyone knows a way to launch maps links with Maps brut?
thanks!

yeah, that is a known issue from where it was originally pulled from.
also, my camera shortcut doesn't seem to work.
and, wasn't sure if this was only a HTC first thing or what, but i dont get a pop up notification (not the chat head things) for any notifications like Gmail or calendar. I remember seeing that in the presser, but think it might be a facebook home optimized device exclusive thing.
working pretty good on my phone. I am impressed with facebook's implementation here though.
if i didn't absolutely Despise facebook, i would probably use it. if there was a G+ home, i would probably be all over it.

yes and no. if you try opening an app with password/pattern lock, it will prompt you to put it in. but someone can see all your stuff without doing anything.
hopefully this will be worked out in the final version.
also, my feed stopped showing up for some reason. rebooted and still not working. has my face and the time, but no feed is showing in the back.

maybe.....also, i uninstalled FB home app, and started using Nova again, and once in a while the FB home will pop up again....no feed or anything, but my face shows up, and i am able to access apps from within the FB home app. Very weird and screwey.
I like how the OP posting about a Facebook leak is using Tom's profile picture from MySpace as an avatar, lol.
Downloading now, but from the looks of it, it doesn't work anymore? Also can I install just the Facebook apk? No home launcher,etc?
yes, the FB app will work fine.
but looks like they killed the FB home feed functionality. TechCrunch reported on it. not surprising i guess.
I was still able to use the home screen and shortcuts and stuff, but no fee was in the background or anything...just a black screen.
OK never mind then. I'll just wait. Looks like it's going to available from Google play on the 12th.

I hope its an older build. It's smooth, but doesn't feel like it will be ready in 4 days. I don't think it was ever made to support the Gnex, only a couple of "supported" devices.

Facebook has updated Messenger and main Facebook app this morning to prepare the arrival of Home (that is available only on selected devices, which are One X, One X+, First, Note 2 and SIII (eventually One and SIV). It looks like links are not up yet, but the app is live as you can see from this screenshot
-Personal Review:
I've been looking forward to it for nearly a whole month, following leaked previews on Modaco, getting excited for that.
Now that I finally got it, I'm kind of "yah, cool. Now let's go back to Nova"
That's not because I don't like it, the idea is nice. Probably it's just me.
I like the thing that with a simple swipe you can access your SMS/Facebook Messages, or main facebook app and the app drawer, but I'm missing many parts of my One X...
Widgets... that's android's pride. I need my widgets, like weather and news feed, and now I have to swipe up, open app drawer, scroll down to weather app to see if tomorrow is raining or not.
Long refreshing time... When I go back to facebook home after a while it needs 10-15 seconds to refresh news feed, and it's very annoying because it lags a lot in that moment, and can't do anything...
Btw, I love the new updates. Messenger app is nearly perfect now, I don't need to leave an app or a game to answer a text, and I love it :good:
Please let me know your opinions, I would like to see if you agree and will use Home as default Launcher or not, and why

This is what I read about App Ops:
"Some apps don't show all their required permissions until we use them. For instance with Bump app the authorizations for "vibrate mode" and "Send notification" only appear when we open the app and try to send something."
I don't have 4.3 atm so could u please confirm? It seems very strange to have a security app wich works like that...

yes, and you can try "App Ops Launcher" on play store to launch the "App ops" on android 4.3, it is just only 7kb.
it is coming with the next update? i mean official yet?
A new way for end users to break apps...a developers nightmare come true. While I like the idea of this it is too easy for users to switch off permissions, forget they did it, app appears broken and the developer must waste time supporting a non-issue.
This is aimed at the functionality Google has added to 4.3 not the OP's shortcut app.

The situation wouldn't be the current one if some developpers don't use useless permissions. Have a look at Facebook's permissions...
The user has to know what he does before criticizing an app that seems to not work properly.

If used properly this is an awesome addition, the problem is what I stated above will indeed happen.
Example being a wallpaper app (we will call it wall-e) shouldn't be able to read contacts if it can't set contact images, in this example disabling this ability is warrented. But perhaps you didn't know this particular wallpaper app can set contact images, you disable this permisssion. Weeks later your changing John Doe's image to find wall-e in the list with gallery, you think cool I can use wall-e to change John's image so you select wall-e and bam...force close. You think the app is broken, send bug report, the developer reads the crashlog and tries for hours to find out why on this particular device setting a contact image causes a crash.
This is a general example, it gets worse as most users have no idea what permissions are really necessary for Android applications basic functionality.
Then it gets much worse, this is one user...imagine all the millions of users using hundreds of thousands of apps once 4.3 is mainstream like 4.2.
Please try this "App ops launcher", it is only 7kb, scan this and install on your device to have a try.

No. App Ops doesnt exist in anything under 4.3.

The app is rolling out now, and will take hours to get to everyone. For safety, we are doing a staged rollout at first at about 50%.
Update 12/8: App is now at 100% rollout so everyone should get it soon. Thanks for testing and using it!
Update 1/13/21: We are aware that for some, the app isn't working. We plan to release a fix ASAP.
Fun things to try:
- Login explore the app settings and gesture controls (hit the third button on the bottom).
- Read the Tips and Tricks thread
Considerable improvement over the last app
Is it possible to post the apk here?

I prefer not. Doing so will make it so that you don't get app updates.
Very nice UI, UX, good job !
Speedy app, thanks!

It doesn't happen for me... Both Google and normal login work...
Edit: make sure you update the app after installing it
Any way to force update the app? I tried deleting and reinstalling the app and still got the old one

Try force closing the app and launching again.

Actually, going to my apps and games section in play store with the XDA app installed, check for updates if nothing shows up, then after rechecking for updates, there should be an update of size 64-65 MB update the app, then you are good to go....
This how I got mine working...
The new app is great!
Possible feature suggestion: allow the app to check the device's animation scale, so that it can remove animations for example, when entering/exiting threads, navigating across the app, etc...
This is just a possible feature that could be added, it's not necessary, but it would be welcome!

@svetius mentioned that it is a staged rollout, so it will take a few hours for the update to hit all regions, just a little wait could suffice, or manually check for updates in the Google Play Store...
