Flash on the X10?

Simple question - Is there any way to get Flash Player or Flash Lite working on the X10 with any Android browser?

use the search feature.. there's various posts already on this.

I thought there might be but i cant find them.
Because searching for "flash" comes up with flashing the device, camera flash and all kinds of other things.
So any help would be appreciated.
EDIT, dont worry i found the asnwer. No Flash on X10. Only issue i have with this phone.

fairy nuff!!.. short answer is no.. and I'm no expert, but I understand that it's not possible on And 1.6.. but maybe on 2.1 (possibly!).. or.. you can use a browser which renders flash at the server and then passes it to you in a format the handset can make sense of.. the only browser i'm aware of that can do this at the moment is skyfire.. and that's a beta test app so isn't quite there yet.. but suspect it won't be long.

skyfire browser has a kind of work around. it grabs flash videos and converts them on the fly.
i don't know if it's any good yet as i only downloaded it yesterday, but it might be what you're after

I've already tried skyfire, it didn't work lol. Well it might for videos, didn't try for them, because i'm more interested in Flash sites and games (which is what i make).

Cellspin app

does anyone have any history with this app? I downloaded it because I was looking for a way to quickly blog pictures and videos i take while out. I downloaded the cell spin app b/c it does that with a ton of services. Everything is fine except I can never get it to show the videos I have taken. It never finds them, and I even switched the format a few times. Anyone who has used this program got any tips?

I've never used that app, I use Qik for that type of thing, it's free and looks like the same exact idea.
Are you sure the app is pointed to the folders the videos get saved to? Some apps require you to manually tell them where to find stuff like that, especially if it's on the SD card.

i do use qik for streaming video, but this is different. This is more of a blogging tool. I should be able to update videos and pic to my blog, but it cant seem to find any of my videos. I ded just see that this phone is not officially supported on their site though

Yeah, looking over that list of supported phones, it looks like they gave up on winmo development quite a while ago...it looks like some of those are WM 6.1 devices, I don't see any that run 6.5, so that may be the issue.
I haven't used those features, I just thought qik could upload existing videos from your phone to most any blogging site (I know it can do it to their own site...you can pick stored videos instead of a live stream).

true. I was looking more for an all in one blogging platform. I'm using the livejournal app now,its coll but still very buggy.

Flash Support on EVO??

I had read that one big advantage of Android over iPhone/iPad was support for Flash-enabled wed sites. But I went to Hulu.com, which presents all it's video in a Flash 10 player, and my phone or the web site said "Sorry, we do not support this platform." Any ideas?

i could be completely wrong on this but im going to assume by platform, they mean the operation system, in this case it's android

You need to write the Hulu team themselves, they are controlling what has access and what doesn't. They even banned PS3s this year...there was no reason it couldn't work on them, but Hulu didn't want to allow it.

Hulu doesn't work. Their choice.
Make sure you have flash 10 installed from the apps and themes forum its on the first few pages. With that most other sites will work fine.

Hulu while using dock?

Has anyone read anything about the possibility of watching hulu.com content while using the dock with the desktop version of Firefox? It makes me so angry that hulu blocks smartphone browsers. My hopes are that the "Desktop version of Firefox" will work with hulu.
That would make this phone nearly perfect for my needs.
Netflix would be awesome as well, but I have not read anything about installing plugins, such as silverlight, to the Firefox browser.
I hope the webtop feature is as cool and useful in practice as it looked from the CES demonstrations. It would really put a hamper on the experience, however, if sites like hulu.com still managed to block it.

The Firefox on Atrix is the Ubuntu Linux / ARM version.
Netflix is out. Netflix uses Microsoft Silverlight and there is no way Microsoft is going to release a Linux/ARM version of that.
Hulu might be possible, since it uses Flash instead of Silverlight. But Hulu has blocked a lot of things that aren't Windows/Mac computers and they might choose to block this too.

I agree. Netflix is unlikely because of Silverlight. It doesn't work on full linux distros, so not likely to work here. (Although Netflix are developing a dedicated Android app.)
Hulu *should* work. It uses the Flash plugin, and the browser ID *should* indicate Mozilla running on linux, but only time will tell.

I guess the worst case scenario is that Hulu blocks Firefox on the Atrix like it has all the mobile browsers.
The good news is that if this is indeed the full linux distro of firefox, we technically should be able to change the User Agent, and get around the whole problem.
Here's hoping!

Ive seen a video somewhere of hulu running on the laptop dock...

I'm sure Hulu would work right now, the question is, will they choose to block it once they notice...

Hulu works!

Flash support?

I have just had to uninstall windows 8 and dropped back to vista flash 11 in 64 bit keeps giving syntax errors and flash is not working?

Microsoft Mentioned that IE10-immersive is completely HTML5 no plugin support at all.. So like it was said.. Desktop Version is the same as all the others with full support

So how comes opera 12 is html 5 yet supports flash (then again only 32bit app) Shame immersive does not support flash yet. I'm sure rtm version or a beta will have a Microsoft version of flash built in instead of 3rd party due to lack of add on support

^ no. Not at all.

Actually, that is not so bad. You will not get flash ads and other bloat that just slows down loading and browsing, but if you want to see flash video, there is "view in desktop mode" button.

yeah. IE immersive wont support flash. so there wont be anyway to get it, specially for arm tablets. no ads and no "you need flash to see this video" yeah not cool for Facebook games, but usually video sites are getting html5 and flash.
but if you are like "how i will see YouTube videos if links open in immersive"
if you win + i or go to settings with charm in IE immersive you can go to "default view links for" and you can tell IE to open links in desktop.

^ that option still wont have flash on ARM. The ARM version will not support it.

I think desktop IE on ARM will still support plugins. It's up to adobe to decide if they will develop flash for Windows ARM.

and im not saying it would support it.
are you running Windows dev preview on arm? no, like everyone else. so i dont care about ARM.
but some people dont know you can change the way IE opens links. you know people who will complain how new UI sucks and they dont even explore enough to know how to open links in IE desktop.
the only thing Adobe has talked about is flash based apps in win8 via AIR.

Well, we won't know that. Like we all know, the developer preview is not completely perfect. It's not even near to good.

The Metro browser doesn't support flash, and there are no plans to support it or any other plugins, but there was a lot of negative feedback at BUILD from the developers about the inconsistent browsing experience (in 1 on 1 sessions with microsoft)..
Perhaps flash could be implemented (maybe with cooperation from Adobe) at some point in the future; good or bad, flash is an currently important part of the web.
