support for ICS only?

I've downloaded this app to my htc glacier running "creamed-glacier" rom and got an error message saying "Chrome is not supported for your version of Android. Version 4.0 (ICS) is the minimal supported version." However, since my phone isrunning the creamed glacier rom which is version 4.0.3, shouldn't I be able to run this app? Any ideas? Thanks.

I believe the build.prop file needs to be edited for this.

From:
ro.build.id=GWK74
TO
ro.build.id=IML74K

very interesting... i just received an update from the market for Chrome Beta, then after the update i'm now able to use this app. i guess i don't have to update the build.prop file after all. but thanks for the info

Its possible they received complaints from CM9 users and decided to remove the ro.build.id check.

Chrome for Android Beta has been updated to 0.16.4301.233 (Chrome 16.0.912.77). Primarily focused on bug fixes, this update addresses issues in the compatibility check which prevented Chrome from starting up on some versions of Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich.

Known issues:

112923 : No way to toggle between mobile/desktop UA
113140 : Youtube links do not prompt for which application to use
113132 : Chrome for Android beta doesn't support configured proxy in wi-fi settings
Other notable issues listed here

You could be right I uninstalled the patched Chrome I had, and installed from the market and its working great for me
