One of the apps I have loaded needs access to the back and menu buttons on the bottom menu bar, is there a way to trigger that?

Touch screen input not working on Surface Pro.
Mouse input seems to work fine.
Multiple users reported problems with this device.

Using Chrome 37 64bit, but the problem is irrelevant to the version.

I haven't had the time to take a deep look at the ARChon project yet, but I noticed that the current build does not include 32 bit libraries.

So why does this matter? While one might think this is a non-factor in the modern world of 64 bit CPUs, it's worth mentioning that millions of tablets and convertible laptops sold within the last year based on Intel's Bay Trail architecture were shipped with 32 bit Windows 8(.1), and a 32 bit UEFI.

Hi! Would it be possible to test this app and see if it works?

Hi,
Congratulations for your work.
When I'm trying to do in Windows:
chromeos-apk
It shows me a windows of Window Script Host: Line:1 Character:1 Error: Waits an object. Code: 800A138F.
Could you help me please?
Thanks

Update: Yes, It works

Old comment:

There's some issues here around i686 machines, but they are tumult.
Please make this subject matter more vivid!

Is it suporting 32 operating systems? (Linux, Mac, Windows)
Any roadmap, milestone...?!

I test it on my 64 bits Windows 8.1 with Chrome Stable 37.0.2062.120 m (64-bit) using the example 2048 APK, it just shows up as an Android logo and nothing happens.

Below is the console message I got:

Originally I think the line "0x7318EB09 is not a valid instance ID" is the main error in this case, but since @Flytomars- points out this is normal, so I don't know what is the problem...

Just bringing this up in hopes that someone with more knowledge on chrome apps can assist. When attempting to package networking tools such as Fing or WiFi Analyzer you are able to see that the apps are isolated from the LAN; Wi-Fi analyzer, for example, displays 127.0.0.1 I messed with permissions in manifest.json but was unsuccessful in getting these apps to communicate with other devices on the LAN. Maybe this is something that needs to be tweaked in ARChron or it may be beyond the scope of this project. But given the list of attempted apps that do not work I think if this was sorted out we would have even more successes.

For some reason I fail to do it.
Chromium version 39.0.2152.0 .
It keeps writing:

"Failed to load extension from: D:\desktop\chromeos-apk-master
Cannot load extension with file or directory name template. Filenames starting with "" are reserved for use by the system.
Could not load manifest."

When using the original runtime, I can use the Skype that was tweaked for that runtime.

But I have not been able to get any app to run when I use ARChon, even though I am trying to use apps that others have successfully used on ARChon. I have been loading ARChon as an unpacked extension. I have tried both the regular ARM version of ARChon and the 32-bit-ARM version. I have succeeded with neither.

I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

Can you assist with making an apk run as a Chrome extension?

Chrome: Version 38.0.2125.66 beta (64-bit)
OS: Ubuntu 14.04

I followed the instructions in the read me and I get the following warnings when loading the unpacked extension:

There were warnings when trying to install this extension:

• 'minimum_chrome_version' is only allowed for extensions, hosted apps, legacy packaged apps, and packaged apps, but this is a shared module.
• Unrecognized manifest key 'arc_build_tag'.

It is in my extensions list, however, there is no "Launch" option

I tested this on a dell chromebook 11 Version 37.0.2062.120 (64-bit) STABLE

I was able to get some apps to work that require google services by sideloading the google services apk found at "/system/priv-app/GmsCore.apk". I repackaged the apk with the "Chrome APK Packager" found on Google Play. If I launch the Google Services app then proceed to launch an app that requires services it runs. For example tTorrent Pro and a handful of other apps wouldn't run until I installed Google Services.

I sideloaded the GmsCore.apk from my Moto X running a nightly 4.4.4 CyanogenMod Rom

Hello,

I've been experimenting with a couple .APKs including flipboard and 2048 and they work fine.
Now when I try launching my own Android app, I'm only seeing the Bugdroid logo. I'm not sure where to find logs, but here's what chrome outputs in the terminal:

Start running
Starting: Intent { cmp=be.geecko.QuickLyric/.MainActivity }
[270,2826889472:02:20:58.479949] Native Client module will be loaded at base address 0x00003b1800000000

I'm running Arch Linux x64 with Google Chrome Beta 38.
QuickLyric does not make use of the NDK or Google Play Services.

I was curious to know what steps I could follow to make my app compatible with archon or if I'm doing something wrong. Thank you!

awesome work!
if possible, support apk searching and install in command line 😄

App runing don't seem to support proxy config from chrome.

UPDATE: This might be a Limelight thing, seeing as it now is not working on my Droid RAZR Maxx, though it was before.

Besides getting Skype to work, after discovering that someone reverse engineered Gamestream to work with almost anything, streaming games to the Chromebook is a must have. However, it seems that the app cannot connect to the target PC. The app works fine otherwise. My guess is that Limelight uses some resources that are not available to the native Chrome OS runtime.

Hi, do you know if the whatsapp works?

I'm not able to use touch feature in apk files. I can with mouse and keyboard but I would like to use touch controls.
Thanks

Will this support ADB? I saw there's an 'enable ADB' option in manifest.

Hi, I packaged the ARChron runtime and it seems it does not work when packaged. I do not like having a full ~/Downloads folder on my Chromebook, so I just tried installing the CRX to avoid having to sideload and have a persistent folder dedicated to the runtime. This method, however, does not work, and results in Android-based applications not loading at all. Is there a way to work around this? Thanks.

Edit: It works beautifully when sideloaded, so it does work normally.

chrome://version important info:

Hi, Is there any chance you could guys add the form factor to gen_main.min.js and gen_index.min.js as full screen and direct it to some config file with max resolution and some keymap to exit app ? This would be very handy feature.

Dear all:
APPs in ARChon can't visit the SD card in my chromebook, and the volume of ARChon(about 2G) is too low to put some media files in it.
I have changed the “enableExternalDirectory" of manifest.json into true，but none apps can be loaded succcefully with it.
SO, I hope someone can help me to solve this problem.
Thank you!

Hi,
I'm trying to load the example application (uberspot 2048) and it freezes in the screen with android logo.
I have architecture 32bits in my windows. These could be the problem?
Thanks and sorry for my english!

The fonts in Linux are rather ugly
Is there anything that can be done?

I have tried these three games here are the results:

dragonvale:
crashes on startup.

dragon city:
Hangs on startup.

EA's the sims freeplay:
Will download and update but crashes on game play.

Hello, so everything was working perfectly on Windows 8.1, x64, Chrome beta. I restarted the computer and when it came to I adjusted a few flags in chrome and since then the apps open and close almost immediately (I can only see the app logo for a sec or two at most). Umm, are there any flags that can mess this up? How and where can i submit a log to troubleshoot this?
I tried emptying temp, removing and loading ARChon, no app works and there is no error showing in below the app details except the usual: Unrecognized manifest key 'arc_metadata'.

When the app opens, it just shows up as an Android logo. Nothing happens. There have been various bug reports caused by this.

Hey, i'm french and when i try to open an application (Ligue 1 by Orange), it open the app but it open a popup who said "Make sure you are connected to internet" and the app close if I push "OK" (because the app close if we aren't connected to internet ^^)
Can you help me ?

I've tried to install WPS Office but keep getting the parse error message. I've tried all the solutions but it doesn't work.

this is the package name:

cn.wps.moffice_eng-2.apk

When I "load unpacked extension..." in Version 39.0.2163.3 of canary it works fine, but as soon as I reload it disappears.

Mac OS X 10.9.3

This has nothing to do with the actual chromeos-apk application, but I suppose a lot of people are using this to finally get Skype on their Chromebooks. Is there any easy way to make it so that hitting enter would activate the send button? The only way I can think of doing this is actually editing the APK. Arrowing over to hit enter for the send button is getting rather tedious.

Do you have any info how to extract that image ?

When I set the resolution as mentioned in the guide, the resulting window is smaller than specified.
For example 2560x1440 results to a 1920x1080 window.
Am I overlooking something?

Since there are many apps that I am trying fails with play services crashed prompt. Is there a way at present to use Play services?

I have setup the environment with Chrome 38.0.2121.3 and node.js. But it didn't work when I tried to launch "2048" app.

When trying to load the packaged apps as an unpacked extension, nothing happens. No error or warning or anything, the extension simply does not load. I tested this on beta and stable channels, I had to enable WebGL manually for both of them otherwise it gave me an error, but after enabling WebGL, no warnings, errors, new apps or new extensions.

TL;DR: ARChon cannot finish initializing the file system. It crashes on step 3. All information is below in order to confirm that I didn't mess it up in the process, as well as important logs. I'll give any more information needed to help determine the source of this error.

Canary version: 39.0.2167.0 (Official Build) canary

I attempted to load the ARChon runtime and the 2048 app on Chrome stable, Chrome beta, and Chrome Canary. My results have lead me only to failure. I have also attempted the same a few days ago with version 1.0 and got the same results.
Before continuing:
I have followed all instructions. ARChon unzipped, installed unpacked, loaded first. App installed the same way afterwards. 'Launch' button clicked. I've also done some fiddling and retrying to make sure it wasn't an error of my own.
All tests were done on x64 chrome on an x64 computer with x64 Windows 8 (not 8.1) with the x64 version of ARChon and the provided 2048 app.
Chrome://version was checked before each test to make sure the version was as it was expected. Full exit out of Chrome to switch from Beta to Stable.
ARChon version 1.1 was used for these tests. ARChon version 1.0 was tested previously a few days ago with the same file system problem.

Chrome Canary x64: I was unable to find this in the log for the page on inspecting app_main.html. I did, on the other hand, find it on the extensions page's log. I'm not sure why I was unable to find it in the log for app_main.html but the error is still there and is still relevant. I'd previously found it in the app_main.html log for ARChon 1.0 a few days back as well.

Both Chrome Beta x64 and Chrome Stable x64 appear to not be 'new enough' for ARChon. The information is included in case it may be important.

Chrome Beta x64: chrome.appViewInternal is not available: 'appViewInternal' requires Google Chrome dev channel or newer, but this is the beta channel. app_main.html:1
Full log: http://i.imgur.com/StZmCf4.png

Chrome Stable x64: Re-installed to stable, same error as beta, but 'beta channel' = 'stable channel'
Full log: http://i.imgur.com/kMU25Ia.png

If there's any more information I should give, or some log file (rather than the console) I should be getting information from, I'd be happy to give it. This appears to be the same issue that first appeared in #10 but it was never addressed in that issue and discussion moved on to other matters.

A little bit more information:
While it's obvious the file system initialization is causing the crash, what's not obvious is that it may have simply not printed the 3rd part and crashed sometime later. I have fiddled with the code and it definitely crashes on step 3. All tests above were done with unmodified code.

No matter what I do I am getting this:

Windows 8.1, 64bit Chrome beta + canary.
I am a noob and sorry if this doesn't belong here.

When I install chromeos-apk which depend apk-parse2 npm throw error "Unknow OS" https://github.com/gergelyke/node-apk-parser2/blob/master/install.js#L19 It doesn't support windows.
This is part of the npm-debug.log

I just discovered this big thing on the internet and wanted to try it out. I don't know where I did wrong, but all the "apps" that ran on my Chrome can't seem to find a folder called "_module". Am I being a noob? Can't this run on my Chrome?

First I have this plugin loaded to my Chrome Canary.
Then, I loaded the 2048 apk as well, but can't be launched.
After, I check for chrome-apk but it's for Chrome OS and probably isn't right for me to try that.
Finally, got stuck.

I tried it all just now. Looks great, and the directions are straight forward. 2048 works well. Running Chrome 37 on Win 64. I tried one of my apps that I built with Qt (uses the android ndk and c++), and no luck. It originally was built for arm7. I'll try building for x86 soon and try again. I also noticed that my app didn't launch properly on Virtualbox Android x86. It did work in BlueStacks, though.

Also I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-chrome-apk-packager-generates-t2885958 to generate the package.

Here's the information I got,
Failed to load extension from: /tmp/com.instagram.android.android
WebGL is not supported.

what's the problem? is that my computer don't support webgl or chrome don't support or ,, runtime's problem?

I've created an extension with

chromeos-apk app/app-release.apk

but when I try to "Load Unpacked Extension" it doesn't do anything. No error alerts, nothing. What am I missing ?

I have:

• Google Chrome Version 37.0.2062.122
• OS X 10.9.4

I assume this is what is happening when my app loses focus. The app turns grey but i'd really like the app to continue working.
