Chrome Beta for Android - wish it worked on ARM6

[Thraeryn]

Thought I'd post a link to a download of the Chrome Beta, since Play Store won't let us install it directly. Go thank the APK creator in the xda thread!

Re: Chrome Beta for Android - ICS

Nice find, but it doesnt work on ARMv6 devices, nor will it ever probably. thanks though.

Yeah, thought I had some success with it at first, but that wasn't the case. So sad. >_>

It really is, I was going to try my hand at compiling it but they don't have the full sources up yet. They only have the unit tests. (At least that's my understanding from the wiki of the Chromium project.)

If you make it happen, you will be much revered. Chrome is the King Browser in my eyes. Has a green shell, steals princesses an' everything.

When they've got it to the point where it's able to be compiled, I'll take the time to download the Android SDK to compile it for our processor (It downloads extremely slow on my connection.) It can't be too hard as long as Chrome doesn't rely on the ARM7 features too much to keep me from building it with an ARM6 target.

Saw it in XDA that Firefox works on our device now. But no stable release yet.

The nightly build listed in the google groups thread seems to work, although scrolling is a bit laggy (even when oc'd to 787Mhz)
