Hi guys I just installed ICS Slim and boy am I glad I did. Smooth and Slick. One quick question, I did install Chrome Beta but do I have to separately install Chrome 2 Phone from the Market for it to work? I thought it might be built in. Thanks!

Chrome BETA browser already had the "chrome 2 phone" feature built in, you have to login from your browser on your PC, and login on the android browser, and they should be connected, it does sometimes take a little bit of time for them to sync.
Yeah, I did log in to both. I can even view the tabs on my Comp on my Phone but C2P is not working yet. I will give it some time first. Thanks!
After waiting a while, it still refuses to work. So I just went ahead and downloaded Chrome to Phone from Market. Now it works fine. I think this has to be installed.
Edit: it's not working again. Either the program is buggy or the rom is buggy, im using slim. I am trying to get this to work, will post solution if i find it.
I got it...
I needed to remove Chrome to Phone from my Chrome PC Browser and install Chrome to Mobile.
You guys need Chrome to Mobile.
Fixed.

Running Froyo? Want the push to phone that was shown at Google I/O?
Well this isn't Googles, but this looks pretty close.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/161941/
Install that in your Firefox.
http://outgoing.mozilla.org/v1/1a19...ooglecode.com/files/chrometophone-android.apk
Install that on your Froyo. (You'll have to allow 3rd party apps in your settings)
Open it and REGISTER by logging in.
Now back in your Firefox window, you should see a Black phone with a green arrow on it up near your address bar. Click it. Now watch your phone.
Enjoy
It's called chrome to phone and we have known about it since the day froyo was unofficially released
Sorry, this was the first I saw any mention of a Firefox addon for it. So far everything I had seen was for Chrome.
Anyway, I love it!
welcome to 4 weeks ago.
OK...I bought this app because I wanted a simple way to get Hulu Plus working. I am running CM7 via a dual-boot SD card since I wanted to preserve the original B&N functionality. Adobe Flash 11 is installed too.
I'm hoping this is something really simple. When I start up the app and go to Hulu, the Hulu web page loads with no issues. So, I click on "Log In" and two things happen:
1. For a brief second, a login dialog pops up int he upper right (same as regular Hulu) asking me to enter a user name and password. It's only on the screen for about half a second.
2. Immediately afterwards, the web browser just goes to an "about:blank" page.
So, how I can I get past this and log into my Hulu Plus account to watch videos?
Unless I'm missing something the easy way to watch Hulu Plus is to download the Hulu Plus app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449110
I'd recommend going that route unless there is some reason why it wouldn't work with a dual boot setup. Your purchase isn't a total loss though I wouldn't mind having it for YouTube videos that won't play on mobile browsers. Just make sure you disable ad blocker if you have it installed before using the flash browser app.

I don't have it in front of me right now actually but the app definitely doesn't work. I think it gives some sort of "Your device is not supported" error but I'll check when I get home. So I'm looking for alternatives.
Well if you download the app from Google Play (Android Market) then you will probably have that problem. But the link I posted is from another thread here and its a modded APK that works very well. Again it should work unless there's an issue with dual boot setups I'm not aware of. Lol I've missed things before and some people make sure you know it.
Don't forget disabling ad blocker is the easiest and most common fix for your app in question. I would still recommend the Hulu app but you might as well get this browser app working too.
figured it out...
if you go to hulu.com/signin it will redirect to a login page... login..... this will save the cookie..... use back to exit fvb then when you open again just hit hulu ..... I found this post looking for a solution.... then did some experimenting and this just worked for me like 5 minutes ago.... hope this helps

thanks.. :fingers-crossed:
i hope it is not a virus infected site..
update:
it loaded/installed just fine.. and ran..
first try.. it got to hulu.com.. and showed full website.
tried to play a show.. it locked up.. had to FC it.
ran the app again.. going to hulu.com .. was a white screen. and that is all you can see.
so.. that app has been blocked or does not support hulu anymore.
NOTE: i did not try to load an older version of Flash Player. this might fix it.
but I am giving up on this.. till something is developed better.

You didn't say which operating system you were running, but flash does not work on CM10 (Jellybean).

Hulu Plus works beautifully on my Nook Color. Running CM10 from the SD Card.
It's not entirely clear whether or not you're using the modded app linked in the 2nd post. You need to use the modded app. Here's a link:

Before running the app, be sure to temporarily disable any ad-blocking you may be using.

Don't know if my different nook or rooted stock rom makes a difference. I have a rooted Nook Tablet (NT), no custom ROM. I cannot login from the directions in the earlier posts. However, I can watch certain things by browsing for them without signing on.
Here's what happens... I use the Flash Video Browser (bought in store... can't remember if it was through amazon, google play, etc.). I search for a show. If they have free versions of that show click on it (I think logging in might allow a higher quality but it looks great on my 7" screen as is). If ever you are confronted with a white screen, in address bar it says "about:blank", I hit the back button (I use the back button on Button Savior from Google Play store). When I hit the back button it plays the video.
If it shows the white screen after you search, similarly the back button will bring you back to the search results. Hope this helps.
Just got a Nexus Player and am trying to find out if Chrome works on it. I searched the Play Store but do not find Chrome.
So I searched here and someone said to try Dolphin Browser but I cannot find that either.
Can you surf the web with a browser on a Nexus Player.
I have a keyboard with mouse/touchpad so I won't have any issues there.
Chrome works just fine, I'm still running v5.1.1 .
Although you have to side load the application you can't get out from play store.

If you go to Google Play from a computer, you can remotely install it to your Nexus Player
EDIT: The reason it is grayed out for me is because I already have it installed. It will allow you to select it if you haven't downloaded it to it yet
Maybe a silly question, but how do you turn it on?
I am using voice command as I do not have a shortcut or the "open" option in the app, but it's there another way?

Use Sideload Launcher. Since Chrome isn't intended to be used on Android TV, It won't show up. You can get Sideload Launcher here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.tv.sideloadlauncher&hl=en
I'm on Verizon so no Samsung Internet for me.
I don't really like Chrome (doesn't seem smooth)
What do you recommend?
What's fast, smooth, stable, and easy on battery/resources?
I use chrome, only because I used to use safari. Considering there's no safari on android, chrome offers seamless integration between my mac and S7 Edge.
I'd stick away from Firefox personally, only because of security problems with the browser.

I'm on Verizon too, Samsung says they are still working on it but eventually we'll be able to download the Samsung browser from the play store.
I use Chrome Beta as well, I have for a couple years now. I haven't had any problems that I've noticed and I'm quite pleased with the browsing experience on it
Samsung browser with adblock fast. Faster than my desktop PC

In vellamo, the stock one has better score
But i think there's no significance different between the stock one and chrome
crashes....
Chrome (the native one for t mob s7e) CONSTANTLY was crashing....
I moved onto chrome dev...then beta.. all crashed...
So now i switch between adblock browser, and using NO ROOT adblock through fast adblock on the samsung browser... (for anyone that doesnt know, there is a secret menu to turn on adbloxking)
Chrome has become bloated and slow, I use the Samsung browser because is fast and it also supports ad blockers now.
Even if it is not included, can't you just go to apkmirror and download and install it ?
Firefox beta with adblock, smooth and stable so far :good:

I agree. Tried the others, but always come back to Firefox with adblocking.

Seems pretty fast, too bad you cant open tabs in the background, that's kinda dumb.
I use opera browser, mainly because it has a toolbar at the bottom.

Don't know how you are crashing all the builds of chrome.. But i've always been stuck on Stable Chrome and never seen a crash on Android builds.
Next Browser is beautiful and intuitive, Butterfly is the fastest there is.
I use chrome but it's getting worse and worse and worse. Not sure what google is doing but their apps are just regressing
Opera is a good altrnative, going well here

I guess most people didn't read the OP. I don't want Chrome and can't get Samsung browser
Question. Samsung browser every darn time i open a google drive link. It doesnt download. Just ask me to open it from my account. I jave tried everything and cant download the files. Anyone know how to disable this?
UC browser is a ton smoother and faster then Chrome for me, built in adblocker, built in flash player, just have to disable a few things in its settings as it has some Facebook and other integration it puts into notifications window.
After that, it's really awesome. Completely themable too, and can turn every web site into a black OLED friendly version if you have a play with the theme settings
Can somebody try and let me know? I am considering this phone but I am perfectly satisfied with Samsung Internet (browser) and hate the Chrome. Thanks guys.

I installed Internet beta, and it worked well. Only problem was that if I clicked a link in the Google app, the Samsung browser would open but on the wrong page. I would have to press the tabs button and then find the Google page I had just clicked on (I guess it opened in the background). For this reason, I switched to Brave browser.
I installed it (couldn't get it from the play store) got it from apkmirror.com and worked just fine
