Installing Flash Light on cm7 - HTC Aria General

Is it possible take the apk from the liberated series and install it on cm7?
Signatures are fancy.

No, I believe that HTC actually wrote Flash Lite and it probably is dependent on HTC Sense. You can give it a try, but I would get your hopes up.

If i'm not mistaken it's either of the following:
1. AOSP doesn't support flash lite.
2. flash lite doesn't support AOSP.
which is pretty much what you said. lol.

Well seems that there is number of post on forums for android tables installing flash I belive is version 9 or lite.

Most of the tablets have a CPU that can handle Flash 10. The Aria processor cannot.

Well the new ones do but not all the cheap ones such as zt-180
http://www.slatedroid.com/index.php?showtopic=5278

Its not necessarily that our processor can't handle flash, its that adobe chose not to support our particular processor (atleast at this time).
As far as flash lite that comes on the stock aria, that is an HTC proprietary software and is supported by the sense roms..

Flash on x10

Hi all,
I'm reading about the rooting of the x10 and possible froyo installs at some point.
The only thing for me at the minute thats missing from the x10 is flash.. Do those that know this kind of thing, think that a flash install will be built for 1.6/2.1 at some point in the future? or is 2.2 the only way I will get flash on the phone..
I'm a noob with Android and while its nice to see people excited about rooting, I don't get the advantage of it?!

Thanks!

I originally thought that too, but I've since found out that flash 10.1 (the one we want) will only run on 2.2 (Froyo) or higher.
So no flash for us in Q3!
The info can be found on Adobe's own site.
I think the only way for us to get it running on the x10 any time soon is through custom ROMs.
I doubt SE will deliver 2.2 for a long while if at all.
That's not true, look at the desire, it supports flash too and runs on 2.1 too. I don't know how HTC has done that. But as far as I know it's flash 10.1 lite

Yeah I used to have a HTC Hero and HTC integrated a version of flash lite (flash lite 3) into its browser too. The hero was on Android 1.5.
Unfortunately though it was hit and miss as it was akin to an older flash version so the sites with the later versions of flash wouldn't play.
Also videos were choppy at best and not fully optimized for the handset. I believe the desire will be similar it uses flash lite 4.
Only the flash 10.1 is akin to what you'd have on desktops/laptops, so you could play videos in browser on the BBC website e.t.c. and have they play well.
In anycase it won't come with 2.1. Thats just something HTC integrate into their own browser, the Sony x10 probably won't get it.
Here is a link to Adobe's press release.
http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/201006/06222010FlashPlayerAvailability.html
The original confusion was that flash for Android was announced to be released on Android 2x. So we all thought 2.1, it was later confirmed that it was in the 2x series but it was to be 2.2 froyo.
its the BBC that means I want 10 on my x10.. so looking like root and 2.2 when it becomes available.. thanks for input

Me too! it would've been great to watch some of the world cup matches on this thing whilst at work!
Flash Lite 4 is what runs on 2.1, hmmm, I was sure I read that it supported 2.1 on Adobe's site. Well Skyfire 2.1 is out and it handles flash better than Adobe's Flash

I guess it will be possible to get flash lite working on 2.1. However it OS not something we can just install, it was something HTC got working with their handsets.
The difference is that anyone with 2.2 can download 10.1 from the market and install. Flash lite is not readily available (as far as I'm aware)
If anyone has any links e.t.c that are current and state that flash 10.1 (the one we want) will be available on 2.1 could you please post them? Cheers
I tried skyfire but was unable to get the content I wanted to play. Has anyone in the UK got skyfire to work with the world cup or Iplayer?

you can already use USTREAM
sure, but its not the same as having the flash engine installed on the phone!!
There maybe hope yet!!
Whilst searching the net I came across this little gem.
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-flash-10-1-on-android-2-1-eclair-devices/
According to this we will be able to install flash 10.1 on our x10 after the 2.1 upgrade. Aside from the fact the performance may not match devices running flash on 2.2, it will work.
----------------------
GUTTED ... just checked this info with the Motorola milestone forum and it appears the info above is not accurate.
Many have tried installing flash and it has not worked. they seem to believe this hack will only work with HTC devices, which are already designed to run flash lite.
Oh well it was fun while it lasted!

why there are no news in cyanogenmod website?
I got the link from cyanogenmod website. It's under the nightlies section. Weird but its there

are there release notes?
also wondering if i should flash this or wait for official htc froyo...?
I'm waiting for official froyo but maybe I should try this rom. But I have some questions before
Does it have FM radio? It'll be possible with released sources from HTC?
And wifi hotspot support?
Is root necessary? Can you unroot once the rom is installed? Altought temporary root can be useful (like sudo in linux), being always root is a big security hole. I'm not sure if many people understant what being root means in linux (and android).

No
Not AP, but Ad-Hoc works using barnacle
Yes, it is.
Rooting is not much more of an issue - you still need to specifically give apps superuser permissions
ok so im downloading 2.05 now. willl update to froyo first.
is rooting froyo easier or will i have to downgrade back to 1.31?
hope visionary+ or Z4root work with froyo. that would be a life saver coz download speeds are slow and expensive in my country :S
Anyone compared performance froyo vs CM6.1?

I had the vodafone froyo rom but I flashed CM6.1 as soon as it came out. (used nightlies before)
And CM6.1 is just that bit snappier. If you don't really worry about that split second diffence (but I do) then you should go for Sense (it's nicer )
But I just like a snappy phone (I should have bought the Desire I know )

Lets see how many of the ppl thats updating to froyo now finally will go for CM6.1
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
Yeah, I'm waiting for some feedback. Using MoDaCo's Custom Froyo at the moment. Nothing GREAT, so if CM6.1 is worth it, I will install that.
Let the feedbacks begin!
Just wanted to say that I rooted to Cyanogen before froyo came to the Legend.
All in all I think I prefer it over 2.1 Legend.
It took a few days to get used to and I have missed a few HTC goodies - namely sync and the HTC keyboard (which is suprisingly a mile ahead of the default Android one). But there is a workaround (I've been told) so will give that a try soon.
I'm ever so tempted to give Sense Froyo a go and see what it's like as I don't really have anything to compare it to.
All in all though - I can't really say I've missed Sense too much; I've noticed a few things that stock Android could learn from Sense but on the whole not missed majorly.
If I upgrade to Sense Froyo - can I then root again or am I stuffed?

(oh and rooting was a piece of piss... After I stopped cursing for an hour and realised I needed to downgrade.)

2.3 for Legend

i'm not really a noob but noob to the Legend, i used to have Xperia X10 and HTC HD2 and it was easy to root and installing ROMs
now i have this Legendary Legend and i want to root it and install different ROMs i'm currently running 2.2, radio-7.13.35.05, and on the boot it says
LEGEND PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.01.0000
MICROP-0816
TOUCH PANEL-SYN07_0105
i've been reading the stickies foe awhile but i didnt know what is the difference between S-ON and OFF and if 2.2 is rootable or i have to downgrade to 2.1 and if i have to root this HBOOT thing!! actually i'm lost!! one last thing what is the best ROM for Legend? is there 2.3 or CM7 out for it?
P.S. excuse my poor english
why did you post 2 same thread???
maybe it's a forum lagg, and it was like "double posting"
It looks like you're in the same situation I was! Here's how I rooted, in laymans terms.
1. Turned my SD card into a goldcard.
2. Flashed a pre-rooted 2.1 ROM using the stock recovery method.
3. Downloaded CM6.1, placed it on my memory card.
4. Did a little messing around with ROM Manager, ended up doing the stuff I explained in this thread instead which worked just fine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962357
5. Flashed CM6.1 (which was buggy as hell).
6. Downloaded blay0's ROM, placed it on my memory card.
7. Repeated step 4 and flashed blay0's ROM.
Please note that blay0's ROM is 2.2 and not 2.3.
In regards to ROMs, personally I love blay0's b 0.7 ROM, it runs like a dream. It's not too far away from the Sense UI and it isn't buggy as hell for me like CM6.1 is... Haven't tried CM7 yet so I can't say, but TheGrammarFreak (a respected regular here) shows praise for it.

Is it true that CM7 doesn't have Flash? That's a pretty big dealbreaker for me.

Yes, but the good news is that none of the rom (legit or custom) has it as well.

What about the Lite version of Flash which HTC ship with the Legend? If that's still present I might just switch to CM7.

It isn't.
CM can't legally include it because they don't have a licence to redistribute it, don't want to since they don't have access to the source, and even if they could and wanted to, it probably requires the sense framework, so technically it would still be somewhere between "impossible" and "damn inconvenient".
If you use Rom Manager it can install CM7 its pretty good for me my last rom was b0.5 which was great but im loving CM7 way more
If you really want 2.3 use CM7 - it's still beta but it's very stable and does everything I ask it to do, if you want a stock(ish) 2.2 then Blay0's ROM is sweet.
yep, I would also recommend cm7. and it's only partly true that it has no flash - I downloaded it from applanet and works perfectly fine with embedded youtube videos and ads (although I don't want the latter)
CM7 works great. Why do you need flash lite? I haven't missed it once when I owned an iPhone and I haven't missed it in CM7, nor did I use it with the stock rom. Youtube works anyway and if you must, Skyfire plays most flash videos fine as well.

its possible to run flash on msm7227!

the new htc wildfire s with 600mhz msm7227 processor support flash in the browser! and dont lags with it. so maybe the official adobe flash not support arm v6 but htc writed the flash lite for armv6, so it can run flash.
just saying, that many people said, that its impossible and its not support and never will run flash and look, its working.
HTC has flash lite which is available only in their roms, other than that this chip doesn't support Flash. Search the forums it has been asked a million times already.
yes it has been asked milion times here but till now no dev answered the question if flash lite can be ported to our X8, for example in racht´s sense roms.
Flash lite is deeply integrated in HTC roms. It isn't only apk. Read this thread:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004553
Yes, but what is deeply integrated can still be ported. Doixanh proved that on the basis of gingerbread crt animation ported to froyo ROM.

ok, so flash lite is deeply intergrated in htc roms. that theoreticly means that it could work in sense roms from racht as i´ve already mentioned. or am i wrong?

So try to do it urself, do not spam here.
i don´t think that a question is a spam in Q and A forum, but allright that´s your opinion. i wish i would be able to do smthing like that but i´m no dev. brain on!
So im right? Flash lite can run on x8 but just with sense / htc rom?

I just rooted my phone today and flashed a rom with sense 3.0. It's pretty awesome, i think i am gonna stick with it for a while.
If you are not rooted, please do give it a try. Just make sure you make the appropriate backups.

Guys please search a bit on the forums. You can find the custom roms in the android development forum
Also yes sense 3 roms are gingerbread.
Now, since they are mostly.experimental, do some research first, get to know some android terms (like nandroid ,clockworkmod, fastboot, adb ,RUU etc) read all of the stickies and then go flashing a rom. What's important when flashing roms/radio/recoveries/bootloaders is to understand what you are doing before doing it. If you do it that way, there are high chances your device won't end as a decorative rock/brick on a bookshelf
Also this is not the correct section

Yes, the guy is correct. Reading up is very important.
You could try one with 3.0 mods, 3.0 lockscreen, weather etc.
The rom that i am on now is InsertCoin, stable build. Very stable, and it's on gingerbread. I highly recommend it.
