About ARChon Packager

ARChon Packager (formerly Chrome APK Packager) is a convenient way to produce Chrome ARChon Custom Runtime packages directly from your phone.

Stuck? http://www.omgchrome.com/chrome-apk-packager-android-app/

You can generate chrome packages from either APKs on your phones storage, or from apps installed on your phone (It will pull APK)

Open the App, select an APK or App from list. App Name and package name are both pulled from the APK and put into the manifest.json file. Everything is then zipped together in a ChromeAPK folder on your phones storage.
Requires https://github.com/vladikoff/chromeos-apk/blob/master/archon.md ARChon Custom Runtime which allows for "unlimited" number of android apps to be installed. (Google Runtime is limited to 4 apps.)

Sadly, no built in file browser. Freezes if it cant find an external app to use as a file browser, but doesnt seem to allow a confirmed selection.

Can run android apps with ARChon extension. This app properly sets the manifest.json and has proper app icon compared to the chromeos-apk conversion utility or twerk for chrome.

Wow. Got my favourite Android SW (MLO 2) running on Chromebook. I am subtracting 1 star since the whole process of installing the extension on the Chromebook is not totally straightforward. But once you read through the provided documentation and got it running, it really works! Fantastic!

Exactly as posted here, great concept but the app just won't work. Tried it on latest Chrome version (50.0.2661.75 ) and i get this errors: (minimum_chrome_version' is only allowed for extensions, hosted apps, legacy packaged apps, and packaged apps, but this is a shared module) and (Unrecognized manifest key 'arc_build_tag'.) The second one repeated the most, maybe this app just needs to be updated to Chrome latest standards but sadly so far buggy and unusable, keep the development active (:

Thank you I had been trying to use the chrome extension to install the app to no avail. This worked like a charm!

The app opens and says Google play services is not up to date and closes I've tried every app on my phone and it still doesn't work

This has let me port several apps to my computers without the need of emulating android for each task, speaking of each task this also allows the chromium ui to run multiple instances!!!

I got one test run app to work and this particular was made just for conversion and then to be used on a chromebook. No other apps work. You can forget about downloading the archon runtime libraries as all of the ARM archives are corrupt/non-existent. I only give it five stars for concept, otherwise its worthless.

Aap is great, just one thing is missing that can improve the experience of using android apps on PC and that is option to scale them till the full screen

S70%
by S####:

For those who don't know ARC is still in beta and apps requiring what we call Google API's won't work as well (or at all)

G70%

Advanced features to have options like side loading Google Play Services or other items to increase Android => ChromeOS conversion.

I ran some of my android apps and worked great on my PC. I notice you're not able to use Google Apps yet on Pc? I only noticed that the hangout dialer app shows up that is Google Android. When I unpacked the extension on Chrome it opened up but will not work unless hangouts app is working with it. Which is understandable but none the less I got excited lol.. Any update on when we will be able to use Google Android Apps on Chrome PC?

Was a little confusing at first b/c i hadnt run across the helpful link in the details section...doh! lol but clicked around and got it to work. The only question I have is if there is a way to resize the window that the app runs in. Would love to be able to enlarge it to the size of my screen. but its still cool to be able to run the android app on my computer!

Well then... This app won't create the ChromeApks Folder that it should in my phone for me to get the APK off of my Phone to put on Chrome... Tried many times with different apps and still won't work... Thought this app would ACTUALLY work... But guess now. If I could rate 0 stars I would.... Since this app WONT work.
