[Q] Winsuk CM9 Aria gapps bootloop

[fourth1]

Hello,

I recently flashed Winsuk's CM9 to my Aria, which had been running CM7 without a hitch for months, and I've been having the common problem of bootloops at the HTC screen when trying to install any of these gapps ICS packages. This forum (in which I'm not allowed to post) suggested updating to the HTC Froyo RUU firmware from here and then re-installing CM9 and gapps. This seems to have worked for the posters here. I however have been unable to get my phone, currently running Winsuk's CM9, to prompt me to connect to HTC Sync when I connect the USB to try and do the HTC official Froyo update. I'll try going back to CM7 and trying again. Does anyone have experience with installing official updates when running a custom ROM? The user who successfully did it was dust906. Any tips much appreciated.

Put your phone in FASTBOOT mode. (While USB cable is disconnected, turn phone completely off, then hold trackball button while pressing power button. After it comes back up and says FASTBOOT on the screen, let go of trackball button and plug USB cable back in.) It doesn't matter what ROM you have installed, your computer should be able to detect the phone while the phone is at the FASTBOOT screen and start the official Froyo update process.

Want to install Google Chrome Browser on HTC Aria with CM9 ICS

Hello all,
Today only I have updated my HTC Aria phone with Munjeni's ICS ROM and the gapps. The phone is working great. I thank him for his efforts. However, for one of my experiments, I wanted to install Google Chrome Browser, which is compatible for Android 4.0 and onwards. My basic aim is to check webaudio apis which is working fine in Google Chrome Browser Desktop version 19.0.xxxx. But the same are not working on the existing browser on this android 4.0.4. So I wanted to download Google Chrome Browser for Android Beta on this CM9 image. The android Market (Play Store) says, my phone is not compatible for this Browser application.

Any clue on this subject from the experts?

Thanks

Google Chrome requires an ARMv7 or better CPU, which the Aria unfortunately does not have.
