[APP][PATCHED][4.0+] Chrome Beta - Allow Move2SD - 14/03/12

lenny_kano · Feb 25, 2012

Patched version to allow moving to SD Card (ends up only using 4Mb of internal memory).

[Google removed the custom rom check in the latest version, but had a few people ask about patching to move to sd, so here it is]

Latest Version (14/03/12) - 0.16.4301.23

Download Here: http://www.mediafire.com/?uyjta1swtp0w459

Please note that because I've had to resigned, market updates in the future will fail.

And if you already have chrome installed, you'll have to uninstall before updating to the patched version, as the signatures don't match.

Do not attempt to use this if the first Chrome beta doesn't work on your rom, or if you are not running an ICS based rom. This will not help you there.

Works on Dinc Evervolv p9. Glad you got this working as I was going to see about smali hacking it myself

Works on the Bionic too with AOKP!

It SHOULD work on any rom where the old chrome beta worked, or any rom where it worked via build.prop modification. Thanks for reporting though, good to get confirmation

Nice work. This version actually works much better on the n1 than the previous.

Wolfy666 · Feb 25, 2012

Thank you very much. Works very well.

What exactly did Google do to stop Chrome working? Just checking for all the official phones on a whitelist or something?

Can anyone do a version for gingerbread or froyo soon? I really want Chrome bad, the on-off switches look amazing as well

Chrome needs opengl support. GB does not have that.

What chrome does in the newer version:
It checks the device build id in build.prop. Mine is stock, because the ROM's build.prop is built from stock. Other roms may use unofficial ones, and thus it won't work

Never going to happen I'm afraid. Ics only.

Hence why I made this version

Works on any ics rom.

I get aborted installation when installing to DRH-ICS on viewsonic g-tab. Is there a work around?

GretaLewd · Feb 25, 2012

Worked for me - Thanks !

Thank you for this hack - it worked for me.

For info :
I'm on a Galaxy S I9000 running [ROM][ICS][4.0.3][BUILD23&25][BETA2.1&3]AOKP.

Fix for the New Update for Non-Stock Roms (Without downloading separate APK):
Open up your build.prop, find the line for ro.build.id and change the value to IML74K. Reboot. Enjoy new Chrome update. =] (Always make sure to back up first!)

Everyone is aware of that already, my way doesn't break other things that rely on build.prop.

Does not work on EVO running AOKP 24

What doesn't work? Does the old version work? It only works on phones with hwa, this mod doesn't change that. And if it won't install, you need to uninstall the old version first.
