I tried to find an answer in the forum, but either it is an obvious question or i did not understand it (i am new to the WM world).
I simply do not see the whole page content, and i can not "click" on some of the visible content, probably because it is flash.
I checked at macro-media site and found there is an application but according to their info it supports only WM5.
Can someone help?
I am using many applications designed for WM 2002 which work just fine. I suggest you to try that one.
Can name few?
Ok. I installed the marcomedia flash support for IE, and works. Yet IE is by far slower than Opera. Is there a solution for Opera?
there is flash lite 3.1 in the development and hacking section of the forums, but i'm not sure if it works for diamond yet. :/
you can try though.
I am having this problem too, for example on Facebook if someone has posted a video that is not hosted on Youtube i cannot veiw it as my browser doesnt support flash. I have had this problem on a lot of web pages that have anysort of video on them even tho i have installed the latest flash.cab on my device is there a work around or is it just something we will have to make do with untill a newer version of opera is released?
Install this cab :

There are a lot of threads about this subject but somehow non of them where able to help me to get embedded Flash in websites.
I've installed the Flash 7 ActiveX plugin, installed Flash Lite. Together and separately. Reboots, instructions from this forum and instructions from Adobe.. nothing seems to help. I use the latest PIE and Opera Mobile 8.65.
When I visit www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/ in PIE I get a message that Flash version 7,0,70,0 is installed but without the embedded Flash element you would expect that says "Adobe Flash Player is installed.", like on a PC. When I visit the same page in Opera I don't get any messages about successful installations.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? If you need more details about somethings; let me know...
First post here... please be kind...
Actually, I've been looking for such a solution myself. Very easy to test my own website (www.LauraBraniganOnline.com) since I have Flash snippets on the top of each page that I purposely coded to read down to Flash 5...
Had an Axim x51v, Flash seemed to work OK... now got rid of that when I got my new AT&T/Cingular Tilt (HTC Kaiser), their latest ROM but hard-resetted and soft-resetted so I don't get AT&T's extra crap... btw doing this works fine for me.
But have Flash Lite 2.1 developer installed, had the Flash 6 installed, now have Flash 7 ActiveX installed, nothing works on any other browser but PIE (believe it or not, have Opera Mobile 8.65, MiniMo, and NetFront all installed).
Being from Philly originally, love to listen to KYW-AM news radio over the Internet, works fine on my laptop, dies on my new Kaiser... assuming that CBS coded their latest player at a Flash level higher than 7.
ANYWAY... what with all that background (are you all still awake... ), I'm wondering if there are any other back-end, side-end or otherwise workarounds to get OTHER browsers than PIE to read at least Flash applets coded for 7 or below... at least until the behemoth that is Adobe decides to actually give the incredibly exploding numbers of Mobile platform users a Flash player that actually works with WM6 and its growing number of non IE browsers. Heck, you'd think if they were so eager to push the Flash technology on everyone on the planet after buying out the much-loved Macromedia (I still use my good-ol' copy of Macromedia Dreamweaver!), that they'd have a mobile solution that actually works for those of us who still think that Microsoft is doing their own mobile users an injustice with a PIE that hasn't changed nearly at all from the old Pocket PC 2002 days...
Sorry for the rant -- spent about 5 days searching for a solution... and either I'm missing it, or it's really hidden... or it just isn't there yet... maybe we haven't bribed Adobe & Microsoft with enough $$$ to actually have them work on this...

HOW do I watch YouTube vids on my Mogul by HTC? I tried downloading the flash player. Didn't work. PLEASE HELP!
Search The Threads!!!!
You are looking for TCPMP player and flash video bundle.
HTC's Streaming Media is good too. It uses YouTube Mobile quality, (a good amount more compressed,) but it streams great. I prefer TCPMP.
I followed the article written at Treo Central and it works great on my XV6800.
http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=148801
Attached is FlashVideoBundle 1.4.4 and TCPMP 0.72RC1 for PocketPC. I used these CAB on my phone.
Are these the latest versions, or do they work the best??? And thanks for posting them.....
How to make PIE appear as IE...
have these files installed without problem...but my pocket IE always goes to the mobile versions of websites not the "real" full site...i have been searching but have been unable to find the appropriate work-around...any suggestions?
Download Vtap to your phone. Works great and loads very quickly. Video quality is fair.

Yes, as of now these are the newest versions. In terms of performance I have not tried any other versions.
I used Opera Mobile before my trial ran out (after the rom upgrade I can use it for another 30 days, then might pay the $24). There's an option to identify your device to websites as a desktop computer, so you don't automatically get forced into a "mobile" version of a site such as YouTube. Opera Mobile also supposedly has a flash player built in, but I haven't tried it.

If you go to youtube mobile and scroll down the page, there is an option to view the normal site. from then on your browser will take you to the regular youtube site.
Try typing this into your browser www.youtube.com/?nomobile
all of these are good...

Help with tcpmp.pocketpc.0.72RC1.cab Install
Hey everyone I,m needing some help, just started tweaking my Tilt moble, and when i unzip the TCPMP.pocketpc and put it on my phone theirs no RUN SETUP_ file.
What am i missing how do i run the .cab file
I love this phone, but opera and ie hvae no flash. Skyfire is good, but doesn't support x1 due to resolution. Is there anything I can do?
Thanks!
try looking for flashlite.3.1 cab file
it works with opera i think but im getting issues with th cache on some java things, says try emptying the cache but i cannot figure out how to do that yet if any one has any help
Thanks I tried that, but flash videos in opera just have vertical lines down them with various colors. Not sure that cab worked.
flash on xperia seems to be a tough nut to crack
Jep, got that same **** here.
Colored vertical lines, that's also what I get with the YouTube player, this is likely because of errors in the rendering. I suspect the Flash Lite we're talking about isn't getting as good alng with Opera Mobile as it should be. Most flash object don't render at all. With some fidling with the zoom in and out button and right mouse (hold slylus down) on a flash object I can sometimes get Opera Mobile to render a block/part of the object or just the controls.
I've been trying to get Flash going for a while. Most solution found on the inets rely on a specific Opera Mini version/build. Pretty much all of those builds however cause conflict with the by default installed Opera Mobile, and you end up with no Opera at all.
I'll be looking (mostly here on XDA, just started reading here, this forum is huge) for a solution that works for the xperia, but it looks like there will have to be a solution custom made for the xperia. That is, for the official ROM. Anyone familiar with a ROM that runs stable on the xperia that has Opera Mobile + Flash Lite baked/cooked in?

My rom included flashlite 3.1 and runs happy w/ the stock Opera (seperate d/l from my thread).
On Opera 9.5, the vertical line on some but not all youtube movies because some are in flash9 format which is not supported by FL3.1. Another solution is install Flashplayer 7 for WM, it works for all youtube movies I tried so far but it's a resources hog causing the playback very choppy.
Thanks, very helpful post. Awesome work you've done on creating a custom flash. Makes me wonder about how much work must have went into that and even more how you did it.
I suppose I better first get informed really well about flashing the ROM before go ahead. From what I've read it's quite risky and you really need to know exactly what you're doing. I've already read some accounts of people who have bricked their devices in a failed attempt to flash the ROM.
How did you get so experienced with working with ROM's? Just trial and error?
Also, perhaps you can explain what the abbreviations CU and CID(unlocked) stand for?
Has anyone noticed how the Opera browser provided with the HD2 doesn'r reflow text correctly when you zoom in or out on text?
For example go to the bbc.com website and find an article on the main page. Then zoom in. It reflows fine. However if you then go into the actual story from the front page reflow to keep all the cahcracters on the screen rather than you neededing to scoll left to right stops working. Then when you go back to the main page the reflow is still not working?
I have tried this on multiple sites and get the same result ! I also tried another HD2 and the same thing happens.
The iphone and Safari does this without fault. Am I missing something that I need to set or is my experience different to everyone else?
I don't want to use skyfire because it comes with different limitations. Is the later version of Opera (v.10) any better in this respect?
I also notice that there isn't a Opera Mobile 10 for the HD2 !? Anyone know where I can get this?

Here is Opera 10 for the HD2. I don't have a problem with reflow on my device, but then again there are something like 10+ versions of Opera 9.7 floating about.
Have a look here for all the different Opera 9.7 versions, see which works best for you.
*Edit* I use version 35964, it seems to work fine for me.
Its dependant on which build your using......
the one on the t mobile stock rom was perfect.....
I just tried a cleanex rom and opera was not as slick as I was used to....
Im off to try an energy rom and see what thats like.......
Thanks for the information. I have a standard HTC rom and the phone is from the UK.
ROM version 1.66.405.2
Radio version 2.06.51.07
Opera Mobile version 9.7 Build 35627
I'll try downloading the latest version of Opera 10. Thanks.
Just one last thing. I updated my version of Opera so it could play flash with the Flash. Will this install put in an additional version of opera or overwrite the current one?
Does this version natively support Flash?

It will overwrite the version you have installed. I should think it plays flash, I am not certain as I don't use flash on my HD2 (I assume you mean 9.7), Opera 10 supports it natively for sure.
Thanks for the answers, I have just loaded version 10. Forgive the noob questions....
OMG, It doesn't have pinch to zoom !!!!!!!!!!! Reflow doesn't work because it is set to a double tap zoom and the text seems to left justify too much so the text is cut in half and you have to scroll over to the left! And the Zoom is way to high. I know you can set it to certain zoom levels but its one zoom in and one zoom out. Thats not very good in my book.
Also the settings available seem far less than there were with 9.7.
Also is there any way to change the default search engine from google?
Lastly, is there any way to set vibrate to happen when you click on a link.
I also went to youtube and it doesn't seem to play flash
Not sure I think version 10 is an improvement at the moment. Is there a thread somwhere that talks about opera 10 on xda?
Its pure personal preference, I tried 10 and didnt like it, mainly due to pinch to zoom and reflow......... the flash is tempremental... I got youtube working but other flash content didnt........
Theres no harm in having both 10 and 9.7........
In this case you can have your cake and eat it..........
For flash I'd reccomend skyfire........its quite slow and the ui is ugly and dated but it works 95% of the time as far as flash is concerned......... again though its all down to personal preference...........

I have a problem with Flash not working on my A500. I have tried to install various versions to no avail. All I want it to do is view video content on the local news websites. I have had a live chat with local Acer support and they couldn't help me. ( Australia ) Does anyone have any idea on how to get it working ?????
All suggestions taken on board !

do you see any type of flash at all? or is it just the live video content which is not shown? please provide more details, such as a link to the website you seen not to have flash enabled?
flash should work fine, i got it running with live content for danish websites and tv stations broadcasting live video.
i feel flash works great (that is on 3.1) but 3.0.1 was working fine too.
what doesn't work? ive found that flash on Opera browser doesn't work at all, but viewing flash in stock browser works fine.
i read somewhere that you have to "tell" opera to use flash, however i looked and couldnt see how it was done.
More information
Thanks to you both for assisting. I have 10.3 installed, can play flash based games, but Opera, Dolphin or Firefox will not play video content. The browser that came with the unit can. Another curious thing, if I navigate to the home page of XDA-Developers I cannot play the video XDA TV Video, it says "download Plug in" but nothing happens when I click this .
Ok, your problems are the support of the apps, not the actual stock release.
I read somewhere Opera can be made working on 3.x with flash, but how, i dont know and i can be wrong..
you can only ask the apps makers for support here, asking Acer is really not much help..so go around Opera website and ask, or firefox forums..
All good, I suspected it was a proprietory issue rather than the Iconia so I will see what I can do with Firefox / Opera forums.
Cheers, Tom
Opera mobile does'nt support flash!
i think i use the default browser and works fine....
