I do not mean to be rude, but this has been discussed before. According to Adobe our phone's processor lacks the mhz to run flash smoothly. I honestly think with Froyo 2.2 our phone should be able to handle flash 10.1, but that's just my opinion. Who knows, Adobe might surprise us and give us flash anyway.

No don't say that. You haven't done anything that refers to ignorance. Hopefully we'll have flash, but don't hold your breath.

There is a copy of Flash that you can Side load now But it takes a lot of Space. It works but very slowly. I was using the stock Rom. I would almost think it would run a bit better on FroYo.

Can you point us in the direction of where we can obtain this file? I've loaded a flash player file before and it hasn't worked for me. Maybe this might be a different file.

is it worth downloading this file?

I got it from the dev section on here a while back. Personally I'd wait until FroYo comes out. It wasn't worth the huge space it took up and the slow playback.

Froyo isn't coming with flash. At least not for our phone.

Yes but FroYo is much smoother running than Eclair. Just cause we won't be able dl it from the market doesn't mean we can't side load it.

I just want to point out Flash Support/No flash support has nothing to do with processor SPEED, but processor ARCHITECTURE. It hasn't been compiled for our processor by adobe, and none of us can do it because its not open source.

But why are they being so lazy with compiling it for armv6 too, will it really kill them to do it? The slide/aria/legend could handle it, just like they said the slide couldnt run lwps...But we got'em running just fine.

Flash lite, not full Flash 10.1
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

Actually... if you google "flash 10.1 eclair 2.1" you get a guide as your first result on how you can get full flash on any 2.1 rom... sorry people who are running 2.2 but it only works if you have some sort of flash lite on the phone... as long as im aware... all 2.2 roms are based from source... which does not include any form of flash lite... basically, what it does is upgrade you flash lite to flash 10.1... it works perfectly for mee... i tried running it at 600 mhz... it ran too choppy... i would recommend using dumfuqs overclocked kernels to about 868 mhz... which is what im running... and it runs really smooth...

Traded Epic for Evo; Custom ROM not allowing activation on Epic?

Hi everyone. Yesterday I traded my Epic for an Evo (for my own personal reasons - regardless of how FUBAR they may be to you). I love the Evo and everything is going well... UNTIL the guy I traded makes me aware of a small little problem: Sprint says I can't activate the phone with a custom ROM on it.
I guess I must have forgot to tell him to not let Sprint in on the phone cracking, but too late. Now he is saying he needs me to help him put the phone back to stock. It currently has Quantum ROM 1.3 on it and clockwork mod and all that stuff.
Do any of you believe that the phone won't activate with this ROM? If so, do you have any recommendations of how to get this guy up and running - remotely? He lives 40 miles from me and it was a hassle for us to meet up yesterday.

Flash the modem stickied at the top of the Dev page using ODIN and you're golden. Why don't you just call sprint and activate the phone. You don't have to bring the phone into a store.

We did call Sprint and they put it in the system and everything and said it was done. However, the phone never activated

BTW, I am at that page and looking for the stock ROM. I see a couple of 2.1 ROM's, but neither of them seem to be the stock official 2.1

The stock tar is stickied at the top of the development thread, just follow the directions.

Yes, at sucking, the EVO is faaaarrrr superior I agree..lol
But realistically if your gonna make those kind of statements at least claim why you feel that way >.>

Last time I checked my evo was slow as piss and everything lagged, including the Notification area, App Drawer and the whole 9 yards. On top of that it liked to eat battery like a starving child. Htc needs to learn how to make graphics drivers. XV6800, Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2. The cycle never ends, well besides the G2 of course.

[CAUTION] S-OFF Being Lost with OFFICIAL Froyo OTA

Hello everyone,
Just as a warning: you will LOSE your S-OFF if you apply the upcoming Froyo OTA directly from T-Mobile and be UNABLE to S-OFF again. IEF (AlphaRev developer) has not been able to hack the new HBOOT 1.0 (for Legend and Espresso) which will be distributed with the new Froyo OTA for our device. If you apply the OTA via the T-Mobile firmware update tool or through a zip-file provided directly by T-Mobile you will be permanently stuck S-ON.
The ONLY safe way to keep your S-OFF is to use Froyo ROMs provided by developers in the Developers section.
Hope this saves some sanity for others, but unfortunately I'm stuck S-ON now.

Wor. This is big. Thanks for the heads-up. I almost just did it to "play around".

It's not out yet, so you couldn't have done it. CR's ROM is not fully-stock... it has been modified to add root and remove the HBOOT.
I was referring to the official T-Mobile OTA firmware which isn't even being pushed to phones yet, but it will be SOON.

Really? I still have S-ON ever since I gained root lol
I haven't done S-Off....
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

Come on nbetcher, you should have known better. Remember how OTA's bork your root access - it (to me) would be apparent that they would do the same for s-off. Is HBOOT a different version now though?

Their isn't a way to restore the old hboot? Wouldn't loading the stock 2.1 fix that?

I have heard that the slide will not get the OTA update. It proly has something to do with this merger with AT&T. They are going to want everyone to buy new phones now and offer all of these crazy deals for everyone just to trap you.

As far as I remember, mostly licensing issues. While Netflix has always wanted to many an android app, various restrictions from content partners wouldn't allow it without proper protection, drm, etc...
Though if the app is this easy to get working... I have no idea whats changed is the real question... Since I mean, it doesn't seem all that secure...

No it doesn't actually, my thinking is why are they restricting it to certain phones with the impression that it won't work on any other phones? The average joe is going to think it won't work on their particular phone because it won't ever get on their "List". of course I may be totally wrong and all of a sudden they do a blanket across the board release lol.

ok I got it to work. Used the no detect APK version. Make sure to have it installed on the SD. Just got a black screen when it was installed internally.

Thinking of switching phones. Help with another option?

I love the My touch 4G to death, but my wife doesn't seem to like it much. So, I'm need to find something to replace hers. Her's is being used unlocked on AT&t. So, does anyone have any suggestions? On eBay I can sell it for $200-240 so, i'd like to sell it and buy a replacement. It needs to be GSM (AT&T or T-Mobile phones are fine), in my price range and have similar specs. I have really can't think of anything. She hates it so bad she's using her old Samsung Magnet until I find her something :/ lol

She can't make text messaging signature and it doesn't have a keyboard :/

I've never heard of a text messaging signature before.
Good to know about the other thing, though. So the only requirement is a hard keyboard?

Stick with the my touch..
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

For the text message signature she could try using Go SMS Pro in the market.
The only gsm android phone I can think of with a keyboard is the G2. I've used it in the past though and found it to be slightly slower than the MyTouch due to the smaller ram and lower processor speed. I agree that she should stick with the MyTouch.

if she wants to have a physical keyboard then your gonna have to switch phones, id say go for the mytouch 4g slide just cuz it would be a more familiar platform and cuz the g2 would be a downgrade in hardware

Hard to imagine not liking the phone over those two reasons. Swype is so much better and faster than conventional texting. And as for the signature, I'm not rooted and I use GO SMS. As already mentioned, it has the option to add a signature. Plus it's much better than the stock text. JMO. Each to their own I guess.

After a solid year with my MT4G (which I am still in love with...) I just bought the GSII
Have to say so far, this phone's bad ass.
