[Q] Chrome browser on Defy+ - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
beta is pretty long time out, but I'm still waiting, when it will be avaible for Defy+ (in play store not compatible) .
Is there a way how to make it working?
Running on rooted stock 2.3.4 ROM.

As far as I know Chrome works only on ICS, hence that's the main reason it's sown as incompatible in G Play Store.

[Q] flash on webpages with android 4.1?

Is there any way to work flash player with 4.1?on defy
don't really know if there is a way to workaround. my dolphin browser used to work even without flash installed on ics.
"Flash Player would not be supported on Android 4.1 and users should uninstall Flash Player prior to upgrading to Android 4.1, Jelly Bean."

I have been trying to install Flash player for a few days on my Defy running CM10 4.1.2 (2/11 version) but have so far been unsuccessful.
I have followed guides hereon XDA, used the supplied links but to no avail.
I installed flash on my wifes Galaxy Tab 2 the other day and it works perfectly, if a little laggy but basically it works, the Tab is on ICS which also had flash support removed afaik. And the guides out there have Flash running on other 4.1 devices so I see no reason why it shouldn't work on ours
Has anyone managed to get Flash working on their Defy running 4.1?
If so do you have a guide to installing it?

Browser crashes when playing flash videos full screen

I get an exclamation work on videos when I watch flash videos on either Firefox beta / AOSP browser when watched in full screen.
I have latest flash 11.1.115.20 sideloaded. Anyone facing similar issues? I am trying to watch videos from watchop.com [ If anyone could verify if they can watch videos from this site and let me know is it just me would be great ]
Using PA 2.2 with latest faux kernel.
Yeah, i get it everytime, nomatter what site i am on
Gets a bit annoying
I flashed the CM10 with Tablet UI ROM by z1gackly and it works awesome now, flash flawlessly on full screen on asop browser :victory:. Dunno what the issue is with PA 2.2.
I have that problem with the version of flash you are using.I use an older version and it works fine full screen.Try installing the older flash version 11.1.115.12. It works best for me with the browser.
James-NC: The is no issue with latest flash, I am using latest one and it is in fact better much smoother. I flashed a different ROM and issue got fixed.
The newer versions always crash if I go to full screen on most websites.I tried several different versions and the old one always works full screen.Not saying it will be the same for everyone just giving the OP an option that works best on my tablet.
The new one worked great before the jb upgrade but I have not been able to get it to work full screen since the upgrade.I am running stock.

[Q] Google play store + Roms

Hey all, I've come here to ask these basic questions...since this is the place where gurus come.
I'm currently in possession of an a500 running stock 3.2 however I can not update it or even use the google play store to download apps as the a500 is no long supported. Are there any work arounds to get the play store to work on a stock rom (and how could I update it to ICS)? I think it's pretty ****ed up that by dropping support for it you can no longer download a thing from it.
I say this because the owner of this tablet is not at all good with technology and would greatly appreciate the vanilla experience of android compared to a custom rom.
And I'm not all that familiar with how the play store operates on custom roms so my next questions are:
1. If a custom rom was to be used which is the most stable?
2. If using a custom rom will the play store become usable again?
Thank you all!
strange
Play store, as far as I know should work fine on a stock install. It has worked for me in every single ROM I have ever used, including stock roms.
Since you got it used - the prior owner may have screwed something up. Done a factory reset yet?
Google play store has always worked on all my ROM's, sounds like something else is wrong.
Probably best to make a nandroid backup and change or reinstall a Custom ROM after the correct WIPE method of that ROM.
Google play store will automatically update to newest version 3.10.10 or you could download a newer version, but i'm sure that will not fix ur problem...
Best to restart with a ROM u know is new to your tablet...This will be easier to troubleshoot in future
and before your install ROM, wipe everything (except External SDCARD)
at this point all will be fresh and only problems will be with ROM (unless you have hardware isues), but you won't know until you change ROM
I recomend TWRP Recovery 2.3.3.1, not CWM

The play store works fine, you have something borked on your tablet.
Sounds like you prefer to return to Acer stock Rom. If so, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816560 and dowload the 3.01 EUU for the A500, (not for the A501), flash it in APX mode, go to Play store, update (like, at least 4 times) and you will be on stock Acer ICS 4.03.
Your welcome (for clicking thanks!)

Google Edition Rom

Hi all,
I noticed that the Google Edition Roms are starting to trickle in (Pulled from the Google Editions of our phone). Will we be able to flash it on our AT&T devices?
This will definitely make me flash instead of sticking with TW now. The Verge is reporting that they got a 3rd party remote app to work with their Google Edition S4!

Yes you should, just be sure to flash the att kernel and superuser zip before exiting recovery. Also, double check, but I've read you need the touchwiz version of our kernel not the aosp version which seems odd to me. From the reports I've read though, the google edition rom is very much a work iin progress. It's probably better to just wait a few days for the major s4 rom developers to incorporate the goodies into their roms.
I used the ROM that's going around for the i377m does not flash the Modem so those are both stock and the ROM runs perfectly from what i can tell so far (only been a few hours, still need to test LTE properly).
I think that the touchwize framework is still integrated deep in the ROM, it's just all the top level stuff has been removed. I've even heard reports of the touchwize camera, dialer and such working on the google edition.
Edit:
The ROM does flash the kernel, I'm using the [email protected] kernel and the phone is functioning properly.

[Q] CM 10.2 - Google Play 4.6.16 - how to update?

Hi,
I'm still using CM 10.2, how can I update google play to 4.6.16? Do I have to reflash new gapps (coudnt find a new package)?. I saw some apks on androidpolice but is it safe to install it? I wouldn't bother the whole process but since yesterday I've been facing battery drain caused by google services. It happens every time google releases something new.
