okay, so flashlite 3 has been leaked, great! but why no instructions or reports in how to get it to work with htc diamond? all u hear reports from are kaiser usersl
I have the latest UK stock ROM and all i want to know is whether I can get flash working with the existing pre installed browser. I do not want an unclean installation method, nor do I wish to 'upgrade' my opera to some other build that is not customised for the diamond and that would lose key features such as the scroll wheel.
would appreciate your advice and experiences.
Some discussion here which might help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424021

Thats the thing. I dont want to use a cooked ROM. I want to keep my stock ROM, furthermore I dont want to force any version of Opera that isnt officially customised for Diamond. eg, I dont want to lose the likes of scroll wheel support etc

not one person on that thread has appeared to have tested this with the HTC Diamond.
This is the problem.
It won't run on stock. It needs the newest OS core an Opera 1938

so basicly anyone who sticks to the stock HTC Diamond ROM has no way of using flash lite 3 with Opera?
Perfect.
Two steps forward, one step back.
Okay, considering it is the current leading WIndows Mobile device - can we please have some CLEAR CUT instructions as to how we can get Flash Lite 3 working on the HTC Touch Diamond? And by working I mean working on an OFFICIAL HTC stock ROM or network carrier ROM, I do not consider flashing to a cooked ROM and invalidating my warrenty a solution.
If Opera needs to be uprgraded, then please tell me how and what (diamond specific) features we lose.
Thanks.
I'm running Opera 1938 and I can still scroll with my finger to zoom, etc... Just try it, what have you got to lose?

As you probably or rather hopefully know, there is no official non beta Flash Lite 3.x for Windows Mobile x.x and Opera Mobile x.x. Yet. Let alone one customised for the Diamond. At least, AFAIK. So, as you clearly are a consumer, nothing wrong with that, and taking your past and present Diamond related threads and posts into consideration, my sincere advice is you ignore all versions floating around and keep on enjoying or loathing your device as it is
Why don't you wait until HTC or your network carrier publish one suited for your stock ROM, again nothing wrong with that, including step by step written and video instructions on how to install? Then wait some more for the first user reviews to roll in, before deciding to jump in head first
Or, you can put some effort in, search for how to upgrade Opera and scrolling, experiment with what is available and help others out by sharing another kind of experience, like a lot of XDA members do.
Come to think of it.. No, please don't! I don't think you've got what it takes, still nothing wrong with that. You would probably only end up whining some more about how the Diamond sucks donkey balls, how HTC has done you wrong by tricking you into buying this incomplete, non functional device, and about the demise of Windows Mobile in general. Now, that boring routine could bug me a little
Seriously, no hard feelings, I really hope you enjoy your Diamond with all it's pros and cons and take care!

darthbane2k if you have old flashlite or maybe flash installed it wont probably work even when you install new opera i had to hard reset it because i was unable to remove all parts left of flashlite 2.1 and flash 7
It worked reasonably in my Diamond , Youtube and other player based on
Flash, other swf, only render static.
Sorry for the English.
Rom version: 1.93.831.1.WWE - DiamondtProject Team
Radio version: 1.00.25.07
it works
Just Flashed My MDA Compact IV to Dutty V1.9.
It has Opera 9.5 1938 built in.
Then i installed the Flash Lite 3.1 cab.
Rebooted.
And lo and behold, i could view Youtube from within Opera!

Flash lite 3.1 working fine for me
opera 9.5 build 1938, install both opera and flash lite to device memory
using TLR3 ROM
Instructions for upgrading opera can be found in the development and hacking section in the opera 9.5 thread.
Instructions for installing flash lite 3.1 can be found in the development and hacking section, flash lite 3.1 thread
Instructions for flashing your ROM can be found in the sticky in the diamond ROM section.
If you dont want to flash your rom and upgrade opera then there is little chance of you using flash lite 3 until adobe release an official version. But if you dont want to flash your rom and upgrade spftware then these forums may be the wrong place for your questions.
maybe here will be a better place for you to find support for official adobe lite development
http://www.adobe.com/support/forums/
It's work for me too.
youtube work almost very well, but dailymotion (specially for french) don't work. Maybe in another version of flash lite, the 3.5 are in development.
Thanks a lot for the developper

How to test if flash is working? I went to youtube and it always gives me m.youtube.com (for mobile) and when I clicked on the video, the streaming thing (windows media?) pops up and the video never shows up from within opera...
I went to adobe test page and the flash test video is blank... does it mean that it doesn't work? Any other site that I can test if flash is working?
FYI, I have the latest Opera build installed on SwiftBl cooked ROM. And I have modified the Opera.ini file so that I can use gmail on opera.
Edit: Got it to work now. I can see youtube from within Opera. It's the opera.ini file that I have modified that made youtube not load the videos from within the opera (but pop up windows media instead). I have fixed it now.
Hi all,
Are there some people there who made Flash work on their HD ?

it will work if there is a flash... or a light/lite on touch hd
Hi, I too have the same question.
I am yet to succeed in going to a web page containing some sort of flash animation and actually see it.
All I'm seeing is a message to say I need a flash player installed. I've installed the current downloadable full version from Adobe and a variety of cabs for Flash Lite, but non of them seem to work with Opera on the HD.
Any help would be much appreciated chaps.
cheers, Jimmy
I have it working, i updated my opera to 9.5 build 2745 (by simply copying new two files to windows folder, and then installed flashlite 3.1. All of these files are available somewhere in this forum.
anyone know where to get these files?

Jimmy, what happens when you try to load the YouTube app?
Petrov.
Most modern websites that feature Flash content are made for Flash 8 or Flash 9, which is the desktop variant. Flash Lite is a simple package of the same software and thus Flash 9 sites will NOT run natively on your mobile phone, so your only option for that is Skyfire. This will not change anytime soon.
YouTube is optimized for Flash Lite and thus you can see the lovely FLV players on your mobile phone after installing 3.0 or higher.
3.0 copies some of the features of desktop Flash 7/8, including FLV playback, but this does NOT mean you can view entire Flash 7/8 sites, let alone Flash 9.

Sorry for being dense. Will certain flash sites, such as youtube, work through Opera on the HD once the FlashLite 3.1 is installed?
If so, any chance you could point me to where one can download FlashLite 3.1 (I've looked but I must be missing something)?
Many thanks,
Petrov.

Hi Petrov,
youtube works fine from what i can tell,as in it plays videos.
One example of a website where flash doesnt work is the htc.con page where the ring tones are.The place next to the download button has the words "Install Flash".
Looking at the other posts on this thread i'm not sure if it should work at all, Jimmy
I have just get a Diamond2.
It has Flash lite 3.1 in ROM and it works inside PIE.
Unfortunately, PIE is pretty lame as a mobile browser and my beloved PIEPlus does not work anymore with this new version.
Fortunately, Diamond2 has Opera 9.5 build 16277 (a pretty recent build) installed.
Therefore, I supposed I had Flash inside Opera too.
Wrong, Opera does not show Flash clip!
I searched around and found a zillion Opera versions, someone with Flash support, someone not. And build number connection with Flash support is more or less random (some old version support it, some newer does't).
What a mess!
... and this is what everybody wants to read in the "Development & Hacking"-Board...
Try to re-install the Flash Mobile 3.1 Cab.
Or you can try the latest version of Iris Browser, it supports Flashlite 3.1 just fine.
There are several version of Opera that don't use the flash lite plugin at all, if you really need Opera, you can either try to reinstall flash, or find another version that supports flash and the zoombar of the diamond 2.
Are you sure Plugins are enabled in Opera's config? That's probably all it is.

Yes, they are.
SKYFIRE!!!
Skyfire = flash 10
Like oruam57 I have a Diamond 2... have tried Flash Lite 3.1 plugin and it doesn't work with the 9.5 build 16277 of Opera :-/ bah.
i have the same problem. i can't get opera to work with flash, and i have tried everything.
Im having the same problem too with 16277?? Ive looked all over and had read somewhere that flash was built into this version of opera,(16277)??? I uninstalled the flashlite 3.1 that I had running and it still dont work?? I double and triple checked everything and my settings seem good , so Im stumpped.... I do have to say, out of all the operas I have trued this build rocks! Except for the flash thing though..?? Speed wise it blows 15954 away. Any1 got any ideas why flash isnt working? I just got a replacement so Im pretty much stock as far as ROM goes. 4 now anyways.
Hello everyone,
I wonder if you can, know what are the HTC ROM HD2 that support the flash player on the Internet.
Currently, the only that I found was the "HyperROM Series by Pongster".
With other ROM probably i do something wrong, but installing Opera10 not work well with all flash media ..
Thanks
Sorry for my english
You can install any Rom you like.
The best browser for flash sites is Skyfire.
I've updated to Froyo 2.2 on VF UK and notice I've got HTC Flash lite 10 running. BBC Sport, iPlayer etc don't work as its 'unsupported content' when I try to play flash videos. Flash 10.1 isn't available i market or appbrain....
Is this because Adobe don't support HTC Legend or am I doing something wrong ?
Flash Player is only avaliable for Amrv8 processor and Leged has Amrv7.
This means that Legend NEVER will get flash.
Only HTC Flash works.

Got a source for this? Flash can be compiled for whatever CPU is needed. MSSM7227 includes a FPU which is a requirement. The differences between ARMv7 and ARMv8 are purely differences in the instruction set, which is set as a compiler target option.
http://smartphonebenchmarks.com/for...msm7225-msm7625-processors-how-good-are-they/
I want to correct my previus post.
Legend has Armv6 Processor and Flash is avaliable for Armv7 processor.
http://www.precentral.net/adobe-dec...s-getting-flash-101-pre-good-pixi-not-so-much
http://androidandme.com/2010/02/news/no-flash-10-1-for-1st-gen-android-phones/
nope.
adobe just needs to make some small changes in the source code and recompile flash.
and the phone browser says that flash is available, maybe its a bug or something like.
The CPU is too weak. You don't want to run flash on it trust me..

I can believe that - it struggles enough on my PC, let alone my phone
Flash video is working on more sites, the one I'd like is BBC and its the one that doesn't. The phone can do full screen flash video without a problem on e.g SkySports etc....
in browser videos play very slow and choppy for me even with official 2.2
