hi all is their any way to get sites like youtube and facebook working with flash,
Try the Skyfire browser, runs on my Kaiser a treat. If my HD2 ever arrives i'll be using that. I'm pretty sure there is an Opera Flash Fix though on this site.
I do not own a leo as yet but definitely intend to.
What happens if you install the Flashlite 3.1.cab floating around the web.
I have tried this on my HTC HD and flash works. I can open youtube right within the browser. For those who own the HD2, does this not work there.
Thanks
Guys,
You do realize that the HD2 comes with the You Tube ap pre-installed.
All you do is from the Start menu scroll down to the You Tube icon, click on it and it then loads a selection of videos.
From here you can do all manner of things including a search & most viewed today.

this should work.
I think flash movies runs on IE6. If you are just after flash movies, then just use IE6 to view those sites. I don't own a HD2 yet but I will do when it comes out in Hong Kong in time for Xmas.
that fix doesn`t work for me, because hd2 is not supported device yet...
Flash Lite is there, and Opera certainly supports flash, it's just a matter of enabling it. It's been the case with most devices (Flash works in beta ROMs and doesn't work in release ROMs, probably due to some licensing restrictions).
fixOperaFlash doesn't work because Opera settings on the Leo are stored in the registry, and FOF patches opera.ini, which is missing. Somebody just needs to read what it does and apply the steps intended for opera.ini to the registry.
At worst, you can replace Opera executables with a previous build, although enabling it properly is definitely better.
hi all tested skyfire and it isnt fully working as it seems it runs in 400x240 or less and stretches the picture and icon e.c.t.
everything looks zoomed in and horible

I saw a video on PocketNow.com. The guy says it works like wonder. Take a look at their videos on the HD2.

That's what Skyfire does, I'm afraid. So it's working as well as it can.
BTW, there's a FAQ in the fixOperaFlash thread that explains how to add support for HD2, you just need to update fixOperaFlash.ini and rerun the program. After that you should have flash support in Opera.

Should add that to the sticky, seeing as so many people want to know how to add flash to Opera
So did it work for you? I don't have an HD2 yet, so can't test myself.
I have just posted a message on that thread, stating that it kind of works.
Ah, OK. I think this is as far as it will go, current mobile Flash implementation isn't complete and doesn't support ActionScript or something like that required to pass the full Flash 9 test. It will work in most cases though until Adobe updates mobile Flash player.
ok so to get this fixOperaFlash working on the hd2 i need to install the latest version fixOperaFlash v1.5.3.0, and then add this to the ini file
[Touch-HD2]
Custom User-Agent=HTC_Touch_HD2_T8585 Opera/<version> (Windows NT 5.1; U; <language>)
UAProf URL=http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/HTC_HD2_T8585-1.0.xml

is it this simple?, as skyfire is stretched on the wvga screen
You'll need real values instead of <version>, but otherwise yes, it should be that simple.
confirmed, it works... just download fixoperaflash.ini fili and copy it into your windows directory... then run the tool, and soft reset device...

LooL.... Be carfull of PornTube.... I have heard its a trojan site that requires you to download a file and run it, in order to play its nookie movies !
Nogs
BTW does the Touch HD come with flash lite 2.x?
If so, do you have to remove that first before installing flash lite 3.1?
Nothing to remove... Just install flash 3.1 on your device and it goes!
Put it on and took it straight back off again.
Works on Youtube - just about - but not on iPlayer or anything much else I tried for that matter. On Youtube it's choppy and imapcts the interface. I also had my SIP pop up everytime I tried to zoom or pan the page. I may have seen a fix for that somewhere in the Forums but frankly can't be bothered as it's not that much worth having as it stands.
I appreciate this is close to cutting edge stuff but it's taking an age to get this sorted for Opera.
there is a mobile browser thats called skyfire which claims can play embedded flash content.its still a beta version but available for download for testing and evaluation.can someone have a try at this please.i can't get it running on my ipaq 614(always searching for data connection)maybe on htc hd it will have better luck

tried it, its not compatible with the screen resolution, I was using this on my Kaiser and its by far the best browser I've tried. It does indeed play embedded flash content
My only disappointment of the HD so far, lets hope its updated soon.

i shall from now on,bombard those skyfire developers on their website with requests to make it compatible with the touch hd ha ha..yeah hopefully there will be an update soon
The thing is that this flashlite version is just a leaked version of the original adobe one, which is still not released yet. we will have to waot a bit until they release the real verion which should then work without a prob
Sorry but to get this straight, are you saying that if I install this on a touch HD, its Opera will no only be able to support flash, but in terms of hitting a you tube video link, it will play in the stand alone you tube client a'la safari and iphone?

it means that youtube and other java based things will work like on your pc. so the youtube videos would run in the youtubepage without the need of opening the youtube application, even java games and more should work. but ofcourse, you can always watch youtube videos with the applicatiuon if you like.
i just got beta version of skyfire. It's working now with my HTC Diamond. Check it out.

does youtube work?
youtube is working great and some other video site or flash site. However, it doesn't connect when i use edge but it's working fine with wifi.
I've heard that people are stuck on "Locating" when you're not from the US
im in the uk and it runs fine except for youtube doesnt give me any sound.
anyone have this working with orb... i get an error downloading the stream file, any help would be great, im kind of tired always needing 2 browsers to get the content i want from the web

Did you relly opened "get.skyfire.com" in PocketIE?
Opened with IE 6, gettin the "Locating.."
I installed the latest version on my Diamond but to be honest I am not too impressed by the resolution.
Is there a setting that enables vga mode? All the fonts and images look stretched as if it were QVGA, anyone else got this problem?
I think I might give this a try. Just wondering if anyone had any opinions when comparing it to Opera???
Here's the cab for you. If it will violate against the rights of the owner please feel free to delete that post (to mods) or tell me and I'll remove the cab.

Opera is FAR better as an everyday browser in my opinion.
I can see Skyfire being useful though, especially if browsing websites that have a lot of streaming media and flash. It's also quite good if you use sites like digg/reddit.
Facebook sucked and the homepage didn't render as it would on a PC so that was dissapointing, but I visit facebook using the iphone.facebook.com URL via Opera and that's quite good.
The application is supported by VGA devices like the Diamond, however, it certainly isn't optimised for VGA, as you will notice when you install and run it. The buttons look stretched, fonts don't look right and when zoomed out it looks quite pixelly
It's a good concept, however I feel that Skyfire has a way to go before it can compete with more stable browsers like Opera which is far more practical.
Hi guys,
i've been installing different builds on my X1 to see if any of them offer better rendering, zoom etc. but all of them have issues with the hardware keyboard.
Apart from the pre-installed build of Opera has anyone managed to find a newer build that works with our X1?
Many thanks!
Nope, still use the stock opera.
Me too. Anything other than the stock one gives nothing but trouble.
Same here. Stock opera ftw...
Ver 9.5 Build 2141... which is stock.
No reason to change as it suits my needs. I don't use the hardware keyboard on this anyway.
Stock one here too, I tried loads of builds but this one seems to work the best or the X1, plus it allows access to BBC iPlayer with the stock one.
the latest one from the omnia repacxked for vga 15233
typed using the hardware keyboard

The vga one works on the X1's wvga screen?
yep its only a skin
I have tried 15233 on my X1 and i didn't work quite so well as the stock one. The hardware keyboard was not functioning properly and because it is VGA version the zooming doesn't always focus correctly on the X1's screen
Hi all,
most people want to change opera version because they think there is no zoom option like the HD one when you can choose the degree of zoom.
But you can zoom in and out using the volume up and down button
lol thx. i didnt knew that

Opera
Hi
I'm using opera 9.5 15202 vga version on my Xperia X1i and it works beautifully
with zoom and all, I'm using 5 tabs option even. works fine for me.

I tried to update to 15xxx with overwriting opera.exe and operal.exe in \windows folder.
After that Opera is not starting anymore, so I went back to stock .exe files.
Did somebody make a .cab from the stock X1 opera so I can test the installs without having to do a hardreset when I want to go back to original one?
I heared that Build 15xxx have othe .ini than 2xxx, maybe that's the reason for updating-problems?!
no, the beta 2 version crashes alll the time
the stock is just fine for me!
Does the stock version support flashlite 3.1? It doesn't work for me. If anyone has it working, what opera build do you use and what flashlite cab did you install?
Was using the stock. Using 15233 right now, but I was going to go back. Its not really better and I think panning works better in the stock. Will try 15202 though.
My flash works.
Build is 2141 I think.

Can you tell me what cab you installed for flash? My flash acts like it wants to work but never fully loads. There will just be an empty box where a flash object should be. I can even tap and hold on it and get the flash context menu.
I am using the stock version of Opera but I am having problems getting it to load some of the forums I visit. I get the message "The requested page cannot be displayed". When I use wifi I get the XML Parsing Error. Is there a fix for this somehwere? I never had this issue using Opera 9.5 before the X1a.
There is a video on youtube showing the HTC HD2 running internet explorer with multitouch working - pinch to zoom.
Now I know IE is not the popular choice but I find the flash support in some of the newer roms to be excellent and I probably use IE more than Opera.
Does anyone know how to get multitouch working in IE?
You could use BSBtweaks which lets you add apps to pinch to zoom and rotate.
Thanks for the response, tried but no luck. Im using MIRI rom, not sure if it's compatible

The ROM won't change this - it's part of the OS. For some reason, you can't add pinch-to-zoom to some programs. IE is one of them.

Ah, that sucks a little, IE has become quite a good browser, if I could get multitouch, like in the video, I could ditch opera :-(
Anyone know of any other solutions?

Bump, was thinking the same
i wasnt liking the new implementation of opera 10 and was searching for a tweak in IE
The version that you are seeing is a special one that Adobe used to show off flash 10.1 running on the device with 'propper' pinch zoom built in. I'm sure it will eventualy leak in one of the 6.5.x builds, but until MS leak it then we are stuffed.
Has anyone tried this on the HD2 yet? HTC said it should work but hasn't been tested.

That's old news bro. Would be useless on every site now, used to work (to a degree) years ago though.
We are looking for Flash Player 10.1/
I hope to come out soon.
On the HD2 and Nexus video from the link below, did I just see the guy do pinch to zoom on IE?????

Maybe he added it to BSBtweaks' list of pinch to zoom apps. (Not tried it personally, as I only use IE to download stubborn files!)
