Flash for 2.1 - Epic 4G General

I have downloaded and installed Flash 10.1 on my EPIC 4G using instructions found on the web.
My EPIC's stock browser and the Dolphin HD browser still do not display flash content. Any ideas?

...... that's because Flash doesn't work on 2.1.
Period.
We have Flash Lite but that doesn't really count.

Try the stock browser

Doesn't work, at all. No matter what you read online. Believe me, I have tried.

it does work... so does search... lookie here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792231

Flash through skyfire is not the same as flash on the device. Skyfire converts flash video server side so games will not work, only video.
Flash on 2.1 does not work on the epic. Even if you install it, it uses flash lite.
Nobody has ever shown me proof that it works. If I'm wrong I would love to be proven wrong though.

We will have to wait for froyo for flash. Bo real flash on 2.1 . Skyfire doesn not count they just convert flash video on their servers into playable format. And hulu has them blocked:-(

I was able to get some type of flash working with my phone...
I can only assume its flash anyways since it works on facebook flash games and albinoblacksheep games.

That's weird. I just played some flash games no problem when I couldn't before. Maybe it will
work if only flash 9 is required but not 10.1
I'll fully admit I was wrong in my initial reply. So flash is working, flash 10.1 is not. This means some things will work fine, some will not.

Have you tried going in to Dolphin Hd and changing user agent from android to desktop as well?
This does make a difference

No clue how this could help. The same content that doesn't work in the browser doesn't work when I point it directly at the swf. I'll give it a shot though.

Well that would be because in android phone mode it compresses everything down so small to make things more legible.
While in desktop mode it's meant to give you a full and rich desktop like experience. It's supposed to include flash content in this mode.

The thing that sucks is all the sites blocking mobile flash player. Hulu, nbc, foxsports, tons of sites detect which version of flash you are using and block their content. People that are getting the google tv's are experiencing this too. So far, everything I would have used flash for, I haven't been able to anyway.

Hmm... eugene's r10 won't let me install flash 10.1
Maybe once r11 is released it will let me install it.

R10 comes with flash 10.1 installed. It's only the new flash update that it won't let you insatll. Also if you search the nexus forums you'll find the hacked version of flash player that will let you view hulu.

Flashplayer in EB13

So I was loving the CLEAR improvements in the browser over dk28. Web pages load so much faster, they scroll easier, reformat quicker, etc etc.
Then I tried to watch videos, and it tells me I need the new flash player....are they talking about 10.2? Almost every website I go to says I need the new flashplayer...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
What kind of browser you have i want mines nothing compared to what's yours doing .. checkerboard tiny lag but flash works on mine and also no lag in video ...
I'm so Epic
Flash is working EXCEPTIONALLY well on mine. Pretty sure they are talking about 10.1 in your case. Maybe try uninstalling it and reinstalling it.
I'm using dolphin hd the stock browser feels all....clunky to me. No matter what phone/android version lol
Yeah I uninstalled flash updates and then let it update again and now my videos are working! I guess there was something in the cache idk but I works now

Is There Flash on Opera

I was wondering if there was Flash on Opera becuz it has proxy so I can get on facebook and stuff in school without usin 3G
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Whether you have flash or not is browser independent.
You need Froyo and to have Flash installed from the market.
I know that I got froyo I ain't noon I have been thought alot I under stand all this now I got voodoo and custom rom so I think I know what flash is

I use opera and dolphin both load flash items so I guess YES
It wont work for me I.go on youtube and then it says I need plugin

Opera Mobile 10 does not support flash even if you are running Android 2.2 or higher. You need to use Dolphin,Miren, or Xscope.
Opera Mobile is still beta so maybe the final will have flash.
EDIT: Are you using Opera Mini? You said you were using it with a proxy which is what Opera Mini/Skyfire use. I don't know if Mini supports flash, never tried it. Froyo has flash built in, if you're not seeing flash it's because the browser doesn't support it or you need to turn on 'plug-ins' somewhere in the options.
Or just use the 3 browsers I mentioned above.
I still use Steel, don't laugh, it's orphaned I know, but that will not load flash content.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
What is this I don't even..........

adobe flash FAIL!!AARGH!!!

i have searched like an SOB to no avail...
i cannot watch youtube via web..WTF!?!?!
or even on my facebook app, i cannot watch videos..
however the youtube app works fine...
and the games i have that require flash are fine as well...WTF!!!!!!????????????
What browser are you using? Some browsers like Firefox don't support flash yet. The default Browser, Dolphin HD, and others do support flash.
This might not apply to you, but sometimes when it seems like my flash plug-in isn't started, or maybe it's crashed (ie. a website says "Please install flash"), I run Adobe Showcase which seems to reload it. When I go back into my browser, whatever flash website I was trying to view always seems to work after that.
phaaawk!!! i cant run flash on FF? i LOVE ff!! AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!! is THT waht my problem has been? i need to use a different browser?

CM7 Adobe Flash Player FIX!

Do you get those annoying purple geometry shapes and glitches when you try to play flash videos on the Atrix with CM7 on certain (most) flash videos out there with the browser? Pretty much the only thing missing from Atrix CM7 was good flash player support.
I found a fix!
What you need:
-Flash Adobe Player 10.2
(http://androidadvices.com/download-the-latest-adobe-flash-player-10-2-for-android/)
Got mines here, but you can use another source if you don't trust it. Worked for me though.
-ROM Manager
1. Uninstall any Adobe Flash Player you have on currently on your Phone.
2. Install 10.2
3. Launch ROM Manager and fix permissions
4. Restart Phone
5. Enjoy high resolution and low resolutions without any glitches!
Hm, will try when I'm back to CM. I used to do the ol' flash 10.1 & then upgrade in the market, that used to work - most of the time..
Here's the apk, easier to install.

Let me know how that works out I've read mixed results using chainfire3d on the atrix.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
This worked for me. Keep in mind you are exposing yourself to security vulnerabilities with outdated flash
That's why I wont be doing this even if its a valid fix.....hopefully a new cm7 beta comes out yhat fixes that issue as flash player isn't so important to me at the moment but it'd b nice to have it working......wish there's was some flashable zip fix or something........
I just turn off fullscreen, then turn it back on and that seems to fix it for me.

Oddly enough, installing chainfire3d improved the performance of games and browsing. I get less fc's and less random reboots. I'd reccomend trying it out

This wasn't fixed in CM7 weekly 2? Bring it up in the bugs...

k , it says in the market my device is incompatable
whoops, just found this thread, i used the chainfire3d method...worked perfect and i installed through the app itself, not through cwm...which i normally would and recommend.
Anyways, all is working now...cheers to everyone for the discovery!
