[QUESTION] HTC Flash Player - myTouch 3G, Magic General

I've flashed my 32A Magic with Fatal1ty's 1.4 Hero Rom ... and I noticed that there was HTC Flash Player installed when i go inside the Application Manager, however i don't know how to actually access it ... or does that only mean that I can access flash based sites through the browser?
Or can i open *.swf files through astro or something like ... if i can, please inform me how i can
cheers

yes. as fas as I know, you can access flash based sites through the browser with that

Did you try opening the browser and visiting a flash based website yet?

That is true. I was able to show my friends a stupid .swf using my phone. It played surprisingly smooth!

How? lol
I installed it and so far no difference. I believe its installed as I see it under Manage Applications. Well wait, in the native browser when I click on video content it shows up with a play button, when I hit play it plays right in the browser really choppy though. Does this confirm its installed correctly? If so, why so choppy? Is it because the Aria has a processor under 1ghz?
No, the file posted above is NOT working for anyone running 2.1. What you guys are seeing in the browser is Flash Lite, which was ALREADY present and working on the Aria before you installed the above apk.
Again, do not install the apk posted above. It's just wasting space on your phone and not actually being used by the browser.
I installed the Flash 10.1 for Android 2.1 w/ sense. My understanding is that the flash 10.1 was altered to replace flash Lite. According to the Adobe website my flash version is 10.1.123.425. So I think one of them works.
See your flash version at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
That is what it says I have and I didn't install anything.

Yea it doesn't do anything. I can tell it loaded a page and quickly said htc flash or something.
I removed the 10.1 install and went to the page, no change.
So yea, don't bother with it. Useless.
But you can install Adobe Air!
http://phandroid.com/2010/07/02/install-adobe-air-for-android-now/
How do you remove the 10.1 install? I am not sure where it got installed :\
You just goto Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
D'oh! I had gone in there previously but for some reason, I missed it.
Thanks!
is there a test site
I installed this right away before it was said it wouldnt work but whats the difference between the lite and the full i didnt do any testingbefore i installed it but all the sites i have tried work fine, im using stock rom i installed it using sdk but i play games on miniclip.com and i went to a flash test site and tried all the videos and and samples they had and all worked fine. i did not do any tests before.
is there a site i can go to that will show me its not working before i remove it thanks. also one thing i did notice is that before i installed i saw something somewhere i think it was in applications and i think it was com.htc-flashlite or htcflashlite something like that and i dotn see it anymore but i do see htc flash player and adobe flash 10 before i installed it i did do a clear cach on the htc flashlite whatever that was(prolly just a flash lite bright screen) but i cant find it now not sure where i saw it.

[Q] Android swf player?

I own an unbranded HTC Desire with Froyo installed & wondered, as Flash 10.1 is now installed, if there was any existing 'app' or other way I could now use to open swf games on it that I've used to date on my Archos?

If there is, that would be great.
On my Vibrant with Flash Lite 3.0 if I go through a file explorer and try to open a .swf file it prompts me to either open with the browser or with Flash Player... Try that
Thanks for the reply, but all I can get via the file explorer is the option to either open the swf as text, audio, video or image none of which will open any of the files.
If possible to try, do you know if Flash Lite 3.0 still available for download anywhere & would it install given I have Flash 10.1 as part of the build & all my earches for Flash Lite have come up with dead links? Thanks.
Also packing a Desire running 2.2 and I would like to find an application for this as well.
There's an swf player on the market.....

[Q] htc aria roms and flash player

How can i get a working flash player in my htc aria browser? i dont care about changing roms but atm i am running cm6.1... i remember with the stock rom i was able to watch some videos online but not all and will do that if necessary.
thanx
You're referring to flash lite plugin with is a part od Sense. Aria doesn't support flash because of it's hardware. If you want flash video in your browser give skyfire browser a shot.

It's actually pretty good, skyfire that is...obviously this only works for flash videos, as he said, and if you're trying to view interactive flash websites and things like that (I.e. HBO.com) its not gonna do you any good...that being said, I don't know how much better flash lite is at accomplishing this...

Re: tc aria roms and flash player
ok thanks for the info... one last question; will any rom with sense ui have flash lite in it or will only the original work?, and if so any reccomendations? i would prefer another rom to the original that allows the side loading of apps (stupid at&t)

Devinitive Answer - Flash possible or not ?

Good Morning,
After many weeks of wrangling with my new LG P500 and going through one LG service center re-instal ( my fault ! ) I am loving my phone finally. Yesterday someone put me onto Tiny Shark ( the music service ) and I thought all my Xmas' had come at once. However after loading a bunch of play-lists and then trying to play.....no sound ! I googled and found varying threads about putting flash on the LG p500 ( android 2.2.2). You can / you cant / you can / you cant / etc etc. Anyway I did find some threads with links to a .apk flash file which I SEEM to have successfully loaded onto my phone using app loader. It says it installed
However, tinyshark still wont play sound. It plays.,.....just no sound and yes I have checked my volume settings
So....please......can someone give me the definitive answer about flash on this phone ?
thanks
i believe the flash is only for the browser
If I'm correct it only works in the browser.
Sorry - you have both confused me !
In the tinyshark settings you have the option to check if flash is installed and when i do that is tells me that....yes.....flash is installed. it also says if there is still a problem using tinyshark to go to a browser and see if it is working there. So i go to a flash site and no....it does not seem to work. I am just confused as to why flash seems to have loaded for all intense purposes with no error messages etc.
its a buggy version of flash which is not intended to work on our phone but works 50% with some errors and crashes... if adobe dont release flash for armv6 we cant do anything much??

Yep, the flash apk found in the forums works well with Tinyshark!
Flash can work for content such as power point or flash games on mini chip but the is not enough processor power for video on the browser, they play but not properly

Flash works on Android 4.4 kitkat Firefox.

hi. I'm newbie here. but I found something.
Flash already works on kitkat. but only running on Dolphin JetPack. so I tried to enable on Firefox for android.
Here's my modified Flash Player apk, that makes flash works on Firefox and Dolphin JetPack.
drive.google.com/file/d/0B2bTyXoO581lYUhQU3pGRmQ4VUE/edit?usp=sharing
I'm newbie so I can't link here. please copy and paste this url.
you need to uninstall other flash player on your device and install that apk. and run Firefox. that's it.
I only just tested on Nexus7 android 4.4, but it will work other devices.
It works! Thank you very very much, mate!

Rgrds,
Ged.
I have N7(2012) KitKat and Adobe Flash Player 11.1.115.81
Thank you so much
How did you do it?
best option so far, unless anyone found anything better?
Edit: works fine with firefox 27. Video controls are a bit iffy, you need to hold down the video and select full screen to enter fullscreen mode, and hit the back button on your nav menu to exit it, could be improved, but whatever - flash in firefox
In related news, are there any plugins to allow you to set a proper homepage instead of the awful start screen in the browser? I can't find any on the official site.
Hi :good:
Thanks for the mod.
Do you think it is possible to do the same for Boat Browser ?
hmm..
Thanks for your opinions!
swf files are played on firefox's Gecko engine. so that makes play swf in kitkat. and I think dolphine jetpack maybe use same engine so also can play.
and I modified other hacked flash player apk in hex editer.

Thank you very much. Can you make a patched flash player for other apps too ? Like :
-Magine TV
-Schoener Fernsehen
This are apps to watch live streams
awesome, someone get this guy a beer
I'm confused, flash worked just fine for me in Dolphin. Always has except the short period it was removed by devs.
All I did was install Dolphin from from play store, sideload a random flash.apk, set UA to desktop and ensure flash was enabled.
Amazon instant video works along with all the other sites with short clips [emoji15]
