Google Chrome Update

[VDub2174]

So I received an update for Chrome last night and after the update I got a message saying that my device wasn't supported and I needed 4.0 or higher to run Chrome.

The ROM I'm using is 4.0.3 and didn't have any issues with the beta before the update. Anyone else having problems with Chrome?

Has been stated that Chrome wont work without the "official" ICS...it isn't recognizing any ROM's. You could try uninstalling it, download it to pc, and transfer it...

I have done this method for apps not meant for my phone...(Daughter has Samsung Stratosphere. DL Tiny Tower to pc and installed it fir her....wasn't available in her market...)

Crapzilla.

I was enjoying Chrome too

Just uninstall the new version and then download and reinstall (with a free 'apk installer' from Android Market) the older & friendlier version of Chrome from here:

I'll try that when I get home

There's a new build out that fixes this problem. Come to find out a line in build.prop has the device listed as a Gingerbread device rather than an ICS device. You can either flash this or fix build.prop yourself: [MOD] [CM9A2] Flashable build.prop for CM9 Alpha 2 - Fix for Chrome Beta - RootzWiki

Or this is a nice simple way to edit only the 'ro.build.id' line to 'IML74K' (and 'ro.sf.lcd_density' to 160/120 if nec), yourself:

Download free 'build.prop Editor' here:

(and don't forget to re-boot your TP after changing the line!)

Downloaded the apk of the previous version and that worked perfectly!!

Cool.. I don't know whether the Chrome 'update' actiually contained any useful FUNctional improvements (other than checking in on your 'device').. you can always do the 'ro.build.id' tweak later, if so!

I figured that if I never saw what was "new" then I won't miss it

To be honest, going into the build.prop makes me nervous. Not too long ago my MoPho had a near death experience from a ROM flashing incident. Neither me or my MoPho have moved on from that yet....LOL
