Does this enable viewing of flash animations on websites via the PIE broswer (like www.homestarrunner.com/) or is this just to run flash files already saved to your PPC?

works on loading flash on websites. i like weebl and bob. lol
8)

i just took some screen shots with a PIE page with flash animations.
so yes, it definatly works 8)

Holy crap. I thought I had to wait until netfront for WM 5 was released to watch Strongbad. I love you all today!

FLASH 8
Downloaded and installed, thanks, still doesn't work with a particular site, reports Flash player plugin not installed. Have a look at www.finspreads.com and hit "click here to login" should load their platform or complain about no plugin, fine on my desktop PC. I conclude that FLASH 8 is required, not 6.

Hi
Flash player for the PPC is currently in version 6.
So any site that features Flash content in versions 7 or 8 won't work on this device.
With Flash, you can view content on a web site, but you can also run Flash based programs like this one:

Good luck.

Problems with flash player...or shall i say LACK OF flash

HELLLLPPPP!!! I have been in and out of my TMobile MDA trying to get flash player to work...I've tried downloading the flashplayer 7 cab file...and it won't dowload...just a bunch of symbols pops up on my pda screen. What to do? :shock: There has got to be SOMEONE out there that can save the day....

I'm gonna assume you're trying to download the cab from your MDA. I had the same problem. Download the cab to your pc and run the file after syncing your phone.

thnx for replying...it did finally dowload to my MDA via ActiveSync...but when I go to certain sites that require flash player (like vh1.com), then it still says that I need to download flashplayer (even though I have it on my phone)....So, i dunno' whats going on !!

double checked what the site actually says....It says "flash PlugIn required"

Give Opera a try. With it, when you open a cab file on the internet you can choose to save a page, and rename it as something.cab.
Now I've tried to load vh1.com in opera on my Wizard and I also got note on missing Flash plugin. When I clicked to get it, I was taken to a OSX (PowerPC) page
Also, installing Pocket Plus adds a new submenu to PIE..Save As..which can help you override the problem you had downloading .cab files from your Wiz.

yeah...i got directed to the same download site....download mac osX :? .....when you find out a way to get all the good stuff playing on your wiz...can u let us know?

Opera 2808 and Flash Running

########## UPDATE 29 NOV 2008 ##########
I update forum for put more detail.... (Special Thanks to DIB2000 & Dutty & VeyKa and ALL XDA-Developer and Thanks to kdskamal http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=1507 for your post !)
For View Flash on Windows mobile Device, have need to:
0) Opera and Flash is need to install in same Memory, i suggest to install in INTERNAL MEMORY !!
1) Check if OPERA don't runnig using TaskManager (if running Kill it) with this program (Thanks Dutty)
http://www.4shared.com/file/73670418/1e67bf53/Task_Regedit.html
2) Opera Browser (i preferred 2808) in VGA o WVGA (depend to DEVICE TYPE)
If you don't have install, use that links:
If you have VGA DEVICE install
http://www.4shared.com/file/73664152/2e17ef45/WM6_PPC_HTC_Opera9_WWE_2745.html
then install upgrade... read end document.
If you have QVGA DEVICE install
http://www.4shared.com/file/73664351/b49a6a91/Opera9_WWE_2808_qvga.html
If you have old version on this Link you can Update to 2808 Version
http://www.4shared.com/file/73564410/242afb28/Opera_2808_update.html
3) Flash Cab
there is a beautiful Thread to explain and install (view link) (For my opinion install My_Flash.cab)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423860
4) Flash DLL Plugin to put on "\windows\opera9\plugins" to enable Opera to use Flash Installed (Skip this step, if you use Opera_2808_update on step 2)
(this version is OLD version 8.1.56.1 07/07/2008... is there a new version ? PLEASE POST)
http://www.4shared.com/file/73667918/b6083d09/NPFL3ppc.html
5) Null Keyboard (if you don't view keypoard when click on flash site) (nullkb.ARM4.CAB)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423860
Is need to reboot device !
if all ok... you can view youtube site !!!
If you have alredy install OPERA and My_Flash (Cooked ROM aka DIB Rom o Dutty Rom) you have only to update Opera.
On strange Cooked Rom is possibile to have problem to Update Opera File, for use Opera_2808_update (http://www.4shared.com/file/73564410/242afb28/Opera_2808_update.html) i suggest to:
1) Install TotalCommander (http://www.ghisler.com/ce.htm)
2) Unpack Opera_2808_update on Documents Directory
3) Using TotalCommander Copy or Move content of Opera_2808_update directory on \windows folder. In this mode you put 3 files:
\windows\Opera9.exe
\windows\OperaL.exe
\windows\Opera9\plugins\NPFL3ppc.dll
if all ok... you can view youtube site !!!

Thank cityhunter71, I'll give it a try and let you know how I get on, just one silly question though, should the folder be "PLUGINS" or "Plugins"? http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1119089

in my dib 1.21 is plugins (all lowercase

Here is review of youtube (and flash) working in Opera Mobile on a HTC Diamond with installation instructions
http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=1507

So I tied it out and I didn't get too far, I thought I'd just try the obvious first so I went straight to youtube, my keyboard just kept popping up and it felt slow. None of the videos I tried worked either, but I'm not so sure I installed the right flash .cab. If anyone can provide a link to the preferred flash installation I'll give it another go. I guess I can live without it though, the youtube app on my diamond is fine as it is. I would like really to watch bbc iplayer, but I don't suppose this would allow that even if it worked 100%

iplayer works on Skyfire and works quite well, the browser itself needs a little work yet though in my opinion.

Go to link I mentioned in my previous post

edit: solved

1. What else beside the flash comes with 2808 ?
I tried once newer Opera, but beside the new build number it was realy sux, It took long time to open the Opera itself (5 -10 seconds) instead 3 second with the orginal Opera comes with the Diamond (1522) , and the orginal Opera open flash as well (it open streaming player and play it..)
2. The links above didn't say if it's VGA version...

this trick works for me in a touch pro. (cooked into the Raphael 1.051 unprotected rom)
2808 is VGA and opens quickly 3 seconds + or -.
I visit Youtube & i can watch youtube videos, jerky but can watch them. maybe 5fps.
Normal flash sites, with no videos only flash animations play better in my touch pro.

Where Flash Cab ....
Sorry uniqueboy my frist post is incomplete...
You need to install first cab for using Flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423860 (My_Flash)

Not working yet
So here's what I've done on my Sprint Touch WM v6.1
Installed Opera 2808 on SD card.
Killed Opera9 process.
Installed My_flash to SD card.
Copied NPFL3ppc.dll to /Windows/Opera9/plugins directory.
Soft reset.
Opened Opera and went to YouTube.
No videos would display.
Sooooo....is there a step I missed? Seems to me like I got everything, but since other people are getting this to work I'm assuming I missed something.
AJ

Opera is alredy present on INTERNAL STORE... don't install Opera and My_flash on external memory !

Opera is not installed on internal storage (not anymore at least, though I don't remember uninstalling it).
The instructions seemed to indicate that I could install Opera9 and My_Flash to the storage card and it would work. Is that not true?
AJ

mmm, I read that it is better to install and operate in the same flash memory.
I've always seen opera and flash in \windows
I propose to do so

Yes I have an Opera9 directory in /windows and that's where I put the NPFL3ppc.dll file (plugins) but that is not where Opera launches from (the OperaWM.exe and OperaL.exe are not located there -they are on the storage card).

OperaWM.exe and OperaL.exe are located in windows directory!!!!

Have you possible to remove opera on SD card (unistall) and reinstall on \ ?
You can also:
1) Search where is presente Opera9 directory (with inside directory styles, locale, etc.) and put plugin\NPFL3ppc.dll
2) Search where is present Opera9.exe and OperaL.exe and update with my zip
3) Install My_Flash where is OPERA (if in SD, install on SD)
Reboot... and Pray !!
If don't run i suggest to HardReset Mobile to restore original installation and retry install.
Good luck

Newbie Question

Hi Everyone,
Great wealth of info on here so congratulations to the site developers and maintence guys as well as all the contributers.
I am a complete newbie to HTC phones and i would be really grateful if someone can let me know the following so i can start to enjoy my new HTC HD2 Phone. It seems like the networks limit the glory of this phone and you guys have been able to make changes possible so keep up the good work. having read a few post i've managed to change the stock 1.43 version to a stock 1.66 and i will hopefully try to build some confidence to use a customised one in the future.
Here's the questions:
1) How do i install application such as TOM TOM/Co-PILOT from my PC to the device? - Do i have to transfer the whole folder of the program to the SD Card? i have a licence TOM TOM copy so how would i use it on the phone? i have read cab file and registry modifications being mentioned but i really don't know what this means! would be grate if someone could explain.
2) in the same way if i have a movie on the PC can i drag and drop it into the SD and it will play on the phone?
3) Can i download Apps other than from Market place? again is it the case of drag and drop onto the SD card once the application has been downloaded?
I am a heavy email user who needs a device where i can access emails on the go, watch a few movies and use sat nav. I refrained from purchasing the iPhone as i wanted a windows based application for outlook and office compatibility.
please excuse my ignorance and apologies if the questions are very basic but i want to get to know more and i would be grateful if anyone can offer some good advice.
Hope someone out there can help!
Thanks in advance!
PS. Is this really the daddy of HTC Phones?

1) to install apps from your pc to your device, just start the installer on the pc. if you have your hd2 connected in "active sync" mode, the app will be immediately installed to your hd2. else, you get a notification that the app will be istalled as soon as you plug your hd2 in. cab- files are installed by running then from your hd2.
2) not really. the hd2 does not support many video formats out of the box, you will need to install tcpmp, for example. i use "TCPMP Tech1 Enhanced TP1_TP2 Digital Play HD CineVisionScope Version", this version of tcpmp supports most formats.
3) you can install apps from anywhere. for example, if you download a .cab in this forums, copy it to your sd card an run it from your hd2.

Thanks for your reply wergor,
I've found a website with the TCPMP Tech1 Enhanced TP1_TP2 Digital Play HD CineVisionScope Version cab file.... would it just be a case of installing this onto my pc and syncing with HD2?
will this allow me to play movies on the phone?
surely you'd think a device like this could play movie out of the box!
look forward to your reply.

cab files are installation files that must be run from your hd2. copy the .cab file to the sd card, open the file manager on the hd2, navigate to the file and execute it. follow the installation process (needs some time) and you are ready to go. (i think on the site are one or two things mentioned you have to set up to get the best performance)
this version of tcpmp supports most video formats, so you shouldn't encounter any problems.

The easiest way to install apps downloaded to your PC is to use CABviaActiveSync.
I have uploaded it for you. Just install to your PC and it will add an option when right clicking any .cab files.
This way you don't need to transfer to the storage memory first.
HTH
Bixx

also, you can try the software "xmedia recode", this software allows to convert any video file to a format that the hd2 can play without any additional software.

trying to give a new life to my old HTC

if you have the cab file version, you just click on that and install it to your micro-sdcard. If you just download the files just copy them to you micro-sdcard and run haret.exe

the cwm method is the best method to load android

last time i tried android was several months ago but i had lot of hangs and freeze so decided to use a WM6.5 Rom (with stock sense is very stable and fast). now i'm tryng since 2 days the thaidai build
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177721
and seems to be quite stable and fast but i think it's not an allday system because there are still some issues with wifi, bluetooth and market (after installation sometimes reboot).
Hope it helps

Does anyone know if the speaker works in the Android builds?

The speaker works but not loud, and audio stutters when you listen to music.

just use the a recent updated build like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167324
