Android Flash Browser

I've looked quite a bit and have not been able to find a flash enabled browser or a flash plugin for Android. It it true that it doesn't exist?

Apparently the Hero has flash enabled... however the Hero ROMS for Vogue are notoriously slow as it is... I haven't tried flash in it myself, but I wouldn't put too much stock in it.

Help! Tmobile Video issues

Hi,
I have seen the problem mentioned on many forums but I still havent found an answer. I recently have bought an HD2 on TMobile and cannot get any videos playing on it as it always says that I need the latest version of flash, yet when I try to donwload it doesnt work. I spoke to Tmobile and they seemed unsure as to why it wasnt working and suggested I download Flash lite, but the link they gave me doesnt work.
Does any one know how I can get round this, ideally without doing anything that will invalidate the warranty. I have managed to get Iplayer working though.

How are you trying to watch the videos? Full flash support isn't available on Windows Mobile devices to date. I currently have the HD2 on WinMo as well. The best solutions (I believe) to date are;
1) Skyfire Browser.
Skyfire have just released a version of their browser for VGA devices which looks fantastic. This includes full flash and silverlight support. The only downside is that as the website is loaded on a seperate server and condensed the image quality isn't as good as it could be. Also there isn't a landscape mode. Which is a pain for watching video!
You can get Skyfire Browser here.
2) Youtube app.
The VGA app designed for the HD2 is absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, Tmobile, in all their wisdom took the application off the HD2 before shipping. Fortunately you can install the program manually here. You will need to extract the CAB file from the RAR file before running on your phone.
3) Myplayer.
I know you have said you have Iplayer working but for others...
If you have the fantastic Coreplayer installed you can use the Myplayer app to stream BBC Iplayer. You can also stream from ITV Player and Five on Demand but you would need to pay Myplayer for the server fees. The quality is reasonable and watchable but not crisp and clear. You can download Myplayer here.
Hope this helped.
Dan.

Opera doesn't support flash but IE on HD2 does support flash. With IE, the flash experience depends on the complexity of the site.

in my experience some sites work, some don't. euro gamer tv didn't work even on ie. I had assumed this was down to the fact that flash lite isn't full desktop flash. am I wrong to assume this? should pretty much all embedded video work? im also on t mobile but I have the you tube ap, and I got the phone from mobiles.co.uk so I think my handset is unlocked...
oh and I typed all this on my phone using the swype keyboard

i installed the youtube app on my tmobile phone and it conflicts with my recorded videos i'v shot, as in they dont play, i uninstalled youtube and they play fine. anyone else had this problem? if so is there a fix? thanks.

I had the same problem and as far as I know there isn't a fix.
I got round it by flashing ROM 1.48 on to my T Mobile via the goldcard method and so now have a "clean" sim free HD2 and able to flash new ROM's when they become available.
The you tube app is there and also jetcet printer which T Mobile removed along with the trial of co-pilot

didnt really want to flash my phone, read a lot of threads with people having issues with roms. mine doesnt seem to have none of the issues or problems wot i read on xda with my stock tmobile rom, apart from the slight pinkiness on photos, must of got that 1 in a 1000 what seems to be running fine lol, so i`m a bit cautious whether to flash my phone or not, i really miss the youtube app though, i used to use it quite a lot on my diamond2. might just sit it out a bit longer an see if anyone comes up with a fix, fingers crossed lol

Does anyone have solution for this problem? My HTC HD2 from T-Mobile isn't playing youtube videos usign Internet Explorer application. I want to know if there is any solution to be able to watch youtube videos on Internet Explorer!
PS: I'm using another operator at the momen, not T-Mobile(I unlocked my phone)

the people here always have a solution...

as for youtube/t-mobile - flash a different rom. as long as you get a copy of your stock rom as a precaution it would seem highly unlikely that you can brick the phone

If you have installed BSB tweaks 1.6 (which you should ) you can set Skyfire to rotate to landscape mode.

Tmobile always have to make their phones ****ter somehow! they either put on **** themes or remove apps and features!
I can say however, my tmobile hd2 has been working pretty well, apart from it not playing videos because of me installing youtube!
I'm just wondering if there is anyone who does not have a tmobile hd2 who also has an issue with their video playback from installing youtube?
Which Rom is recommended? how is htc's rom on their website? Will it restrict me loading it being a tmob customer?

I don't think this issue will apply to non tmobile users as its only tmobile who've removed the YouTube app. god knows why!!! I really don't understand it at all!!! I really miss the YouTube app but don't want to flash my phone. come on guys someone must know how to figure this out?? please...... pretty please!! lol

Hello all. just got my hd2 a few days ago from t mobile, and as a lot of you found out the you tube app has been removed so have been looking for a fix.
have downloaded the you tube app from here but it killed my outher videos as well
so then on a random idea while googleing i found the page telling me download from (edit cant post urls wwwDOTmDOTgoogleDOTcoDOTuk/youtube) and then it told me it was un suported.
but when i went into internet explorer and put the same url in. it downloaded a totaly diffrent app for you tube. is a bit more basic then the outher one but it plays vids and i am still able to play the vids on my phone
I hope this will help some outhers out as a short term till t-mobile gives back the full app

have u called tmobile to check your content lock is off? the content lock prevents sites loading that tmobile consider adult sites. this includes facebook and youtube! sometimes its removed at sign up if you speak to a person, but if you do it online (or over the phone sometimes) its set to be on and has to be removed. im not quite sure why tmobile force contract users (who have to be over 18 in the UK) to have a content lock.

What is the easiest way to enable flash player to opera browser

HI GUYS
I JUST FACED A PROBLEM WITH MY FRIEND'S FACEBOOK PAGE IN OPENING A VIDEO HE UPLOADED IT
AND WHEN I TRY TO OPEN IT IT ASKS ME FOR FLASH PLAYER AND I DOWNLOADED THE ADOBE FLASH PLAYER AND CHECK THE VIEO AGAIN BUT NOTHING CHANGED THE VIDEO CANT BE OPENED
NEEED UR HELP GUYS

Easiest way would be to find the caps lock and press it once and then use internet explorer or skyfire instead.

LOL, nice, I know there is a way to get it running in opera 9.7 but I don't wanna mess up my opera. Having flash on the opera already installed would be the best because it's the fastest browser and has the best pinch to zoom. Ohwell, I would love to just get the opera on the device to see the youtube page as the mobile version so when someone sends me a youtube video link, It will open the youtube app instead of nothing from opera. Sure, you can make IE the default browser and get this but there is no pinch zooming with IE. Ohwell.

Thank u friend so much for ur help
but
is there another way to enable flash to opera

because the topic is all the way on top anyways....where is the fix for opera browser?

Is there any solution

As far as I remember, it's in the Windows Applications forum. Use the search function.

Try here and let me know if it works

I used it but it doesnt fixed my problem

Does this kill the pinch zoom on the HD2 browser? Anyone get it to work with the HD2?

very interesting, might try this myself. anyone got this working on hd2 yet?

I also tried it several days ago and I disabled it after installing.
The problem is (after disabling it is o.k. again) that for example none of the youtube movies worked for me. And also the has been some flickering in the upper third of the screen while zooming and scrolling. That has been the worst issue!

the patch does not work well at all.... is a waste of time patching....
just live with it for the time being i guess....

it does work
it worked fine for me on 3 different roms so it is probably worth a try for any of you people who are undecided on it. (and it is really easy to do too)
youtube and loads of other flash sites work, however facebook videos do not work for me.

Download Opera Mobile 10
Just tap the more button > Settings > Advanced > Plugg-ins and turn it on.
That's it! Now you can play flash contents and video.

same here. sporadically it loads on its own. youtube never works and that sucks, because ihave playlists and the youtube client that comes standard is useless. other websites like www ajax nl dont show content very well either.
is there a flash tweak or sommin for opera, cuz the browser is fine otherwise..

No there is nothing yet. Many WebPages use the new flashversion (10.1) which is just not compatible with the HD2´s one (and will most likely never be).

Hi techops
thanks for the reply.
cannot get that to work for opera 10 final.. but old the older 9.7 works fine. Hence this should do me fine for now. ;-)
thanks again.

i just intalled this as i was looking for an alturnative to the now dead adobe flash 10.1 release. It works well although the version of opera that my phone shipped with (no idea what version it is) has better support for the gesture zooming system (ie it works) so some pro's and cons there but all in all i like it.
One question though is there anyway to get opera mobile 10 to allow horizontal scrolling? the way it formats webpages is abit dumb looking imo.

for those who have skyfire and opera 10. How does flash compare?

Removing Opera 9.7 to install Opera 10
Installed Opera 10 worked fine in my HD2; but some applications use as default Opera 9.7,even after making Opera 10 my Default Browser. Some of the applications are: My account T-mobile, Favorites (Not Shared) still using Opera 9.7
Can any one make a cab for Uninstall/Install Opera 9.7/Opera10 on the HD2 as the Default Browser, or by using a regedit?
OEM TMOUS ROM v.2.13

I thought about upgrading for flash support, but losing multi touch and such was not an option as its so handy and I do a lot of browsing.
I downloaded skyfire, and while kinda crappy it works for the limited flash I need.

Skyfire plays all the flash sites. I do have hiccups with video and sound though. The video never stutters, but the sound is often so annoying I have to turn it off.
Opera 10 plays some flash sites, but none of the ones with the newer flash model. Remember we are using the Adobe flash 3.1 here. Most of the YouTube videos are playing now. I'm hoping Opera upgrades the browser to play the .html5 videos similar to how Bolt has.

Hi
Has anyone got the opera 10 final version working with flash?
thanks.

How do you make Opera your default browser? I have the version that came with the HD2 and installed the tweak to allow flash.
Also where do I get Opera 10 from (when I go to the site it does not show the HD2 as a supported model)
Lastly, what are the differences between that and the original version

opera 10
i just downloaded opera 10 on my hd2 tmoble and enabled plugin, but it says adobe flash 9 required to watch video,

Look round for -TX Opera mobile 10-.and Tap after zooming in wherever there is a flash,however it only playes Youtube videoes.

Flash Compatibility With The N10 - Browsers

So can others shed some light on what the compatability is of Flash on JellyBean and the N10. I know the background on it all already and that you have to sideload it. I installed the 11.1 APK and its showing as installed. Chrome I think doesnt do flash right? What about Boat Browser? Because I can't get flash sites to show up in that either.
What am I missing, or is there a guide or something I may be doing wrong either browser wise or other?

It definitely works in Boat. Just go into settings, then page content settings, and change the "Enable flash/plug-ins" toggle to "always on". That did the trick for me, anyway...

It works on boat, but I haven't been able to get it to work on dolphin yet. Anyone have any luck?

I've got it working in Dolphin, just sideloaded flash using this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763805).
It just seemed to work when I closed and opened Dolphin up the next time.

note you may have to restart the app/nexus to get it work if you installed flash after the browser is open. flash works in boat/dolphin/firefox here

I had no problem getting flash to work in Boat Browser. I couldn't get it to work in Dolphin. I had to get an older version of Dolphin from this thread for it to work. That was just for testing. I much prefer Boat over Dolphin (or any other browser).
