Got it... will use it as my default for a while, see how it works out.

Does it do multitouch??

anyone care to post the apk? can't get it from the market....unfortunately i stay in australia where i have no chance to get alot of good apps...

Took it straight off, poor design and looks cheap...

lol....but it looks good on the video demo...just wanna try out playing flash on it.

it's clunky but...

...video playback is great. UI's a bit iffy, and the zoom (it does support multitouch) is in steps, but the killer feature is the video playback. Just tried some online content and it looked excellent - worth keeping just for that I think as an alternate browser.

yup, thats my point actually lol, just for the sake of the video playback...
someone please get me the apk =D

it's on the market now

ya i know its on the market if you read my previous post....
anyways i found where to download it =)
http://get.skyfire.com/dl_android.php
and if anyone wants a link to a great site with alot of movies and tv series then pm me =)
i just watched grey's anatomy on it, and tried to watch alien, =D works wonders all on my amazing HTC Desire wooohoo

I couldn't get nothing to play lol

skyfire 2 is brilliants. It is still beta so no true serverside flash rendering yet, but it works just like the default browser with multitouch and with compression tehnology. Loving it.

I tried this app for ages yesterday but could only get one site to actually play any flash videos which is kind of the point. The site was redtube purely for research purposes of course
Sites that wouldn't play include:
itv player
demand five
megavideo
quicksilverscreen
empflix
vho
Can someone post some good video sites that do work? This app has a lot of potential but at the moment it's not living up to it. It is in beta though and I hope it will improve over time.
It is a pretty good browser though with multi-touch. Another nice feature is one button "connect as" - you can choose Desktop, iphone or Android which can load a mobile version of a site (or not)

purely a personal feeling, but I think the stock browser is way better, for what matters miles ahead of every other phone I've tried.
still, a lot of options is always an excellent thing...
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

yes the stock is way better, just that it cant play flash video like skyfire period..
i tested megavideo, it works 1 out of 10times.....dont know why.......
there are other websites that are working and i watch a full movie of alien on it streaming on a website...=)

I might have been lucky, flash worked 9 out of ten times on stock browser for me. good to know I can rely on skyfire when problems happen however.
my 'mistrust' for skyfire comes from trying to use the last version on WinMo and finding it really slow compared to old versions. sort of different on modern devices...

Me too even the BBC site loads the video but you cannot click on the play button it just sits there at the first screen or am I doing something wrong

Flash didn't work at all for me on Skyfire. Pinch to zoom was terrible aswell, it has this weird "acceleration" which means it zooms for half a second after you stop moving your fingers which I hated. I uninstalled it for now as the stock browser seems far better.

i am playing flash videos that i can't play on the stock browser....skyfire works great for me...
maybe all the years of helping old ppl crossing the road finally pays off, i am getting a good return...

Adobe flash 10.2 available NOW!

Adobe flash 10.2 is now available in the market.

Installed this and then my phone wouldnt boot

Installed it fine and tested it, seems faster.
I have not tried to reboot.

I love the fact that I'm on my hdmi tv watching videos on gamespot from my phone

Saw it before I saw this thread.

Wow I updated and it made a HUGE difference.
Just yesterday I was trying to watch the NCAA tournament at ncaa.com in the browser, and it was unwatchable. Way too choppy, it was bad. Today, same connection, same site.... and it works! It's still choppy at time, but at least it's watchable!
Thanks, Adobe! You're the best!

Flash Player 10.3 is now ready't'go!

Make sure you update - though it might updated automatically. (it did for me)

I just had to open the market, it was set to auto update, but didn't start till I selected my apps and saw the update listed.

I'm at work right and can't bust out my tablet ATM. Hows it like? 720p work on youtube now?

Go to the bathroom to download, but instead download Flash 10.3 to your tab. You never took a 15 minute nap on the crapper?

I just got this bad-boy yesterday, I haven't even christened my own bathroom with it yet

I hear that. I went so far as to speak to the store manager at Best Buy here to ask if he could "special order" a Transformer for me. The distribution channel software they use doesn't even have the SKU in it yet. It's on their website, but not in their distro system. I was a sad panda.

I don't think the update would just fix all of our performance issues, but at least provide better compatibility. I think our future honeycomb updates (look at me being optimistic) will help with the chop.

Ya 720 looks about the same to me. Smooth but sometimes can stutter when there's a lot of variance in the shot.

This. I think they'll need to tap into the nvidia hardware more to enable better video performance. It's interesting to note that they added NEON support for CPUs that support it(ours doesn't afaik). How much those instructions will help I don't know.

Something to look forward to in flash 11.1 I'm sure...

No, I mean nvidia will have to work with the manufacturers to include better optimized kernel/user code for the tegra to take advantage of the dual core and the graphics hardware better. Hopefully nvidia has 3.1 as well and is adding their pieces to the pie as we speak.

a big drop in performance with flash 10.3
I
don't know if anyone sees the same, but for me, adobe flash 10.3 is a lot worse than 10.2.
I am in germany and looked videos on www.golem.de. With 10.2 there have been nearly smooth. Now with 10.3 they become a picture view, no longer video.
(Yes I compared the same videos, coding can't be different.)
I think they broke the nvidea integration and HC was not the focus of this update, but 10.2 was.
My recomandation:
So if you didn't update so far, don't do it!!!!

I have tried the site you mentioned...... no problems with 10.3! Maybe clear cache/data from your browser.

Installed successfully

You Tube and BBC iPlayer working beautifully with the updated Flash

Retested Flash 10.3; still not better
Hi again,
thanks for the tipps, tried them all.
I think it depends on the video itself.
For some odd reason, the videos in germany tends to be coded in a way, the new Flash 10.3 didn't like.
I mentioned before, all videos on Golem.de are worse, but also on spiegel.de.
I noticed a message box, saying, "This video is not optimized for mobile devices".
Never seen such a message in 10.2. Also on my HTC desire, the videos are worse, and see exactly the same behaviour.
I still see no advantages from 10.2 to 10.3. In 10.2 I never had such messages, and the videos where smooth as well. Now on a few webpages the videos are OK, but most are picture shows.
Is there anybody else how could confirm this? Can't belive I am the only one, seeing this performance drop on two different devices, and nobody else seeing this.

I read that flash10.3 is better with HC 3.1. So you see better performance?

Flash 10.3 optimized for Android3.1
So far, Acer Iconia has only 3.0.1 HC installed, hopefully in June/Juli there would be an update.
I didn't see such an statement, do you have any reference?
Is there something in Xoom forums?

NOTE: Please check with your device manufacturer or carrier to ensure you have the latest firmware update for your device. For Android 3 tablet devices, we highly recommend that you update your OS to Android 3.1 to ensure that Flash Player delivers the best experience possible.

oh snap newgrounds works flawless with this browser except for all the fc's during each page load. darn fc's!!!!!

Just bought this browser and testing it. For me is a bit laggy as browser but is a very good alternative for viewing flash videos. They are pretty choppy of course but thats alright i guess. Personally i prefer it over skyfire

I think SkyFire is far better, even if it doesn't "really" support flash. The trick it uses to play flash videos is very-very smart.

I'm gonna give this a try and see if it really works well.

Just wait, qualcomm announced that flash will be updated to work on msm 7x27 processors.

It does work, though it lags, but that's a start. Awesome find dude, thanked you.

Even this does not "really" support flash as processing is done over the cloud. (From what I have read about this browser, haven't tried it out yet)

that's great

But I tried not working smooth

[Q] flash player workaround?

I recently in box to my nexus 7 and I was surprisingly disappointed that it did not have flash player. I did some research online and found out that jelly bean does not support flash player. I currently have rooted my nexus and am running supersu. Has anybody experimented with it or got it to work. I tried to run a flash player apk and it did not work in dolphin browser Is there a ROM or something to fix it?

It works fine. Do a search for one of the apks people have posted (there are plenty of threads) and side load it. Make sure to enable Unknown Sources in settings Security first. I am using 11.1.115.11

Ive had the N7 since IO... the truth is flash does not work "fine" but it "works" The main issue are the browsers that are popular are all very buggy. Dolphin is your best bet but the best one at running flash is Boat. HOWEVER Boat force closes on jellybean a TON so yea thats not useful. Dolphin pinch to zoom is broken, you cannot maximize a flash window because it is likely to lock dolphin into a state where it will not load pages.

Today, last Dolphin update. The pinch zoom is back, but flash is gone. Any solution to get both?
I don't care if flash is old, unsafe, unstable or resourc hog. Just need it. If any other browser can handle flash under JB it's OK, but Dolphin is my favorite. There must be a solution. For now, i reversed back to the previous version, with double tap as a compromise solution.
Help to get flash and JB, please. With Dolphin would be even better.

With Dolphin disabling Flash today, the options are limited. Opera doesn't work. I may try Firefox Nightlies.

Flash works perfectly if you side load the flash .apk then use a browser that supports it . (I use Aurora)
