Chrome is out

Not for my Desire HD?

Only for Android 4.0 and higher.
If you're currently not on ICS, I guess you're on Gingerbread, it won't work

Installed it on my Desire HD with ICS rom, works like a charm!

Finally! There is some bug but.... Finally

Another reason to rock an ICS ROM. Chrome to Phone built into it. Nice.

Not support flash player plugin :S

no ability to request a desktop site. One of the best features on the current ics stock browser...

Not available in my country..
Can someone pull the APK and share it?

I downloaded it from there, seeing my country doesnt allow either
Btw, it seems to not be running on ICS Miui atmo

Common guys. Use market unlocker app to get any program from market and literally forget: "this app is not available for your country"

With Dolphin HD you don't need anything else!

I like the Chrome Browser on Android, especially the "shared tabs" thing. So I can open tabs PC/Laptop and if I have to go, I can read it on the Phone. Very nice
The only bad thing are the pink glitches when changing tabs, but it's no big problem for me. And the missing flash support is bad
But all in all it's a very good browser for my DHD

I've now tried 3 different market unlocker apps, none working for me. Still not available. Downloading the Chrome APK was the better option.

I noticed the pink aswell. And I miss flash too

Very and very good, beautifull and fast browser. Very usefull to have access for my bookmaarks from PC, but it's some uncomfortable without flash

Too bad it's ICS-only.

Unfortunately only for ICS but I think Chrome is the most good browser!

I wanted Chrome, but did not realise it did not have flash. For everyone who loves the favorites. Why not use Evernote? If i see a cool article but have no time to read I save the link to Evernote. Than, when I sit on the couch or where ever I use Evernote on my mobile, PC ot work to open the links and read the article.
I like my browsers with flash!

Is there any way to check if this file is original and not modified? I wouldn't like to make any purchase with possibly altered file (or maybe google included some security for such a case?).

Thank you, looks much better.

You know that by simpling installing a ROM in your phone it could have any .apk modified to steal your info... rite? Anyway, no one would do that... I hope...

The dumbest thing about it is placing the "update" and "uninstall" buttons so ultra-close together and making them so super-small. What happened to Google's UI common sense?
Now, every time you update an app, I have to be careful not to accidentally push "uninstall" and I don't even have fat fingers!

It's kind of stuttery/laggy here. So is gmail list scrolling, so is YouTube app.
Seems like scrolling in lists does not work well on my phone. Web browsing for instance, is much smoother.
When installing an app with Play Store, it can actuallly be smoother than unloaded. I'm running MC3 fw, but the problem has always been present. Did a factory reset a few days ago, but it did not help.

Old versyon is better i think

However when i try to scrapbook a YouTube from youtube app it only saves an image like a screen shot from the video without even saving the link. Any idea?

Uninstall updates in youtube
Updating the Youtube app to the new version seems to break the functionality, unfortunately.
You'll have to go to Youtube's application info and click "Uninstall updates" to revert back to the Youtube's old version if you want it to work.
It's one of the most interesting features for me as well, so I hope they make it compatible with the new Youtube soon.
Feel free to visit my thread here where I list every gripe I find about the new note: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2458416&page=4

Thanks. Will visit the link for sure. Many thanks again for the tip.

Google now! (Official 4.4) launcher is working with the latest search update!

I hope the info made some of u waiting for KitKat happy who would've never checked if its working again(as there was no Intel search.apk).

Thanks mate now using.

Please be aware there is two different versions; Google Now launcher and AOSP version called "Launcher3" without Google Now on the left. Do you have an APK? As the Google Now launchers I'm downloading are throwing back a "Parse Error" with the latest version of Search.
EDIT: He is correct, full Google Now Launcher working. Here is the link: http://d-h.st/f6b

I had to re-update Google Play Services and Google Search from the play store to get it working.
Maybe we have to install only "GoogleHome.apk" and it should be ok.

Yes that's all that is needed to be done.
Do the relevant updates from the play store.
Then just download from the link above unzip and install just Google home

has anyone been able to activate hotword recognition everywhere as other devices? i tried both rooted and unrooted ways I found on XDA and none has worked, maybe this is something x86.apk related.

No it is bound to the Google now and the best reason to use it is the nice Google now implementation.

Facebook app HD video

Hey guys.
Today I was fiddling with my friends s7 edge's Facebook app settings and saw that he has an option to Upload videos on the app with HD resolution, and I only have the option to Upload photos. We are on the same version of the app and both on the s7 edge. I'm running on 7.0 at the moment, but on MM there was never the option either.
Anyone knows how I can have the option? Thanks

I can confirm I only have the option to upload photos in HD and not videos, I'm also on Nougat and have the same version of FB installed....iirc I used to have the option.
I have read online from what others have posted and the only way to upload videos in HD on Android is via Chrome when in desktop mode, I haven't tried this and it also doesn't explain why your friend can, it's pretty bizarre!

This Is my friend's option list. I don't have Neither the video option nor the search for updates "atualizacoes de app"
How weird is this... lol
I can't also find the stock app that comes with the phone either, since Maybe that's what he has and just updated. I don't know

Interesting, he's not a beta tester is he? Although I'd imagine it would be a different version number.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Nothing... I signed up for the beta 30 minutes ago to see if I can get the option though.
I guess he is one lucky guy, lol

I also have this option.
My app is version 102.0.0.28.70

Is there anyway you can make an apk out of your app? I even downloaded the beta and still have nothing.
I don't understand how on the same device running the same app we can have different options...

I guess I give up =/

Ok guys, so I found this and I think it's it
"The latest version of that app loaded with this neat capability now sits at 68.0.0.37.59. However, a report from Android Police, which initially shared the news, says that Facebook seems to be rolling out this new functionality as a server-side switch. This means that not all of its users who have updated the app to the most recent version see this particular option."
No hd from the app for us yet.
Thank you guys anyway
