The title might be a little misleading, but links are not opening in Chrome custom tabs, but the full browser instead. I have tried on CM and on stock. Meanwhile, just about everything opens in the Chrome tabs on my wife's phone (Galaxy S5), and this includes the news feed in the Google Now app. At first, it would open them intermittently, and now, it completely stopped opening custom tabs.
Did any of you get it to work consistently?

Chrome app provide the necessary stuff to apps to make them open their link into custom tabs
As an exemple the Google search remove this feature from time to time (don't know why in the last update the features is in it)
But It is an option in Google+ app check if it is ticked
In Google news and weather app it is force enabled now
So it's really depending on app i guess our nexus receive more update or maybe you're in the beta build of Google now?
Well...after no, and I mean, NO app updates, Chrome custom tabs are working on my phone from both the search results and the Now cards. Whatever...
And I wasn't referring to custom tabs from apps...I was referring to custom tabs from Google Now itself. Still doesn't make sense to me, but whatever.
Edit: But using the custom tabs for Google searches...it works a lot faster than opening the full app. The loading speeds are awesome!

I don't understand if you want them enable or disable
Anyway go to parameters -> account (the first one) look at the pic now the arrowed one is the switch for this
I wanted them enabled. I checked those settings, and it was enabled. I toggled it off and back on, and they started to work after a few minutes.
Thanks, though. Fixed the problem since my last post.

Here's another way for you to use custom chrome tabs. Just download this app from Google Play : Chromer
It's not a browser app but it forces links to be opened on custom chrome tabs. I'm using it and it works perfectly.

i've been working on that, it's been a lingering issue. but on my last 4 boots with install it's been there.
Just loaded it on and everything works as it should. Even put Apex on so now I have either MIUI launcher or stock launcher!
Although I'm having problems with root permission and the keyboard doesn't do as well as correcting like the AOKP ICS build
**Sorry didn't see the post about the SU flash...I'll try that**
Just thought I would put out my findings so far on this version:
Cons:
- After putting on the SU flash it seems to have helped with the root permissions. Root Explorer crashes on me when I open it, it asked for root permission and this FC's.
- The keyboard doesn't recognize words like the typical ICS keyboard does and puts the red line under normal words that you would use. Even changing keyboards it still does it in the messaging apps and things. Not sure if it's a translation thing or what. Like in notes I have "one call for scheduling" for some notes I took and all four of those words have red lines under them.
- Notes and a few other things aren't translated to English, still is in Chinese even though I have English set as the language.
- Autobrightness doesn't seem to work the best, it stays pretty dim after the screen goes off and back on.
Pros:
- Battery life seems to be good but I haven't charged completely to test, I just charged a light charge and has stayed at the battery level for about a hour now and I have used it slightly so it does appear that it's good.
- Not really by your doing but it's nice being able to use the Apex launcher with the MIUI launcher so you could have the vanilla ICS look as well as MIUI look without changing roms.
- Gallery works fine on my end as well as the external music files. Doesn't read the internal but that's already posted I believe.
Hope that's not to long of a post and provides some good feedback, Calendar showed up this time on this flash and everything else seems to be working like it should
Is the fixed ROM a flashover and is there a way to get rid of the "download size requires WI-fi"?
Hey Mark, loving this rom so far. Seems really solid and am looking forward to the next update.
Was the 1x4 miui music widget removed? I'm only seeing the 4x4. Any way to get that back?
Just rembered: the Facebook sync, under accounts and sync, doesn't work. When you choose it, it just returns you to the account list.

If the widget was removed it was because of china, we should see it again soon though. This week they reintroduced their "custom music" app. For facebook sync, ICS removed it, you will need to download an app from market, i use http://tinyurl.com/7snt9sw from market. It syncs all contacts and pictures. Just add account from settings>accounts and sync

So I've tried to install a variety of different apps that I know are compatible with my device and all the google play store responds with is "This item is not compatible with your device." The most recent is nVidia TegraZone which should install considering it's a Tegra3 Device. Anybody else having this issue and/or found any fixes?
I've side loaded several apps like that which end up working fine. Basically, I download the app to a rooted phone, use titanium backup to backup the app, then download it to the N7 and enjoy.

Thanks. Worked very nicely.
I would really like it if I could just to some small hack to not have to worry about doing this though...
Anything that requires a camera permission is incompatible, including Grocery King which really annoys me as I use it for all of my shopping. Barcode Scanner, Google Goggles, etc...
Luckily LoseIt, calorie tracker, CAN use a camera but on my N7 it installed just fine just doesn't have the barcode scanning option. This is how apps should be written. For example, Google Goggles can be used on existing photos, or even photos taken with the camera hack from modoco.
In the past I've also have problems with apps that require Send/Read SMS, but I haven't noticed any of those yet.
What apps are you seeing incompatible?
For some reason the good Ameritrade one doesn't even show up in Play, but it side loaded fine for me. Had to side load Firefox as well.

I have App Backup & Restore automatically backing up the APK's from everything I installed on my Sensation. So I downloaded those, uploaded to the Nexus and installed OK. The only one I haven't made work is Dropbox.
They should just say, "App shows as being partially incompatible with your device. Install anyway?"
Hate forced to side load an app just because I'm blocked.

What would be nice if they'd say WHY so you don't have to guess. Also, that way you can email the dev and say "Market says your app won't install because of reason "555: No camera permission" or something.

It didn't for me and it wouldn't open after side-loading either. It's working now but I can't remember what I did to make it work. I think I had to side-load, then go to Accounts and add an account before opening the app for the first time.

Ok, this is a weird one. On my Z3c, any shortcuts placed on a home screen using the Chrome browser's "Add to homescreen" feature only work if Chrome is not already running when the shortcut is used.
If Chrome is already loaded and has at least one tab open, tapping the homescreen shortcut only brings Chrome to the foreground, but no new tab is loaded with the web address specified by the shortcut.
Now for the weird part: removing updates for the Chrome app and reverting to the Chrome image shipped by Sony corrects the problem (at the cost of having to disable updates to Chrome in the Play Store to keep the problem from returning).
I've tried installing the Chrome Beta, but its homescreen shortcuts have the same problem.
I was about ready to file a bug report for Chrome, but decided to test my Nexus 5 to make sure I could reproduce the problem and, what do you know, the Nexus 5 doesn't exhibit this behavior.
Seems to be just the Sony running updated images of the Chrome app.
Can anyone else confirm not being able to get a Chrome-created web shortcut to work from the Sony home screens on the latest Play Store versions of Chrome, unless the Chrome app doesn't have any open tabs when the shortcut is tapped?

Did some searching and found other reports on Chromium project of this bug - everyone seems to be using Xperia devices that are reporting it.
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=412405
Lack of responses here are kind of giving me the impression that either not many people extensively use home screen shortcuts to websites, or not all Z3c users are seeing the problem.

I noticed you had changed kernels. I did that and got all of the problems you listed. Trust me, its not L its whatever kernel you're using or even user error. Even greenify works now, but most root apps require a permissive kernel...sounds like you don't have one possibly, if you are rooted there's an SELinux policy changer app that will at the click of a button, modify the kernel between enforced and permissive. I use code blue, FK didn't work for me. Also not sure this thread will be open much longer. All the best.

Yea I don't have those problems either. I have had the keyboard predictions not come up some times though. I have also had the play music app bug which is really annoying me because I just bought some Bluetooth headphones and its ruining the hands free experience.
In recents/overview, after clearing all apps sometimes apps pop up if you tap the recents button again like Phone, Android System etc. Anyone else having this issue?
I'm having almost all those same problems as OP...I have it with FK. KitKat was way better and buttery smooth, no issues really. The one thing I really like about 5.0 is the lockscreen notifications..long overdue feature. Missing feature though: control time of music from lock screen.

No offence mate, but calling this thread "all you need to know" is wrong.
I disagree with everything you said, having used heavily since about an hour after the image was posted by Google.
To suggest that your opinion is all people need to know is just plain wrong.
90% of root apps? Nonsense. Every root app I need works.
Crashes in chrome? None here. Same with all the gapps.
Most apps don't work proper? Really?
Launcher lags? Nope. And that word is thrown about all the time with no explanation or quantification.
