Flash 10.1 Fake or real?

This is what I spotted on the HTC Legend Facebook page:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-flash-10-1-on-android-2-1-eclair-devices/
I would say it's just flash lite so just a fake
What do you guys think about it?

i think its real... i have installed Flash 10.1 to my Legend 2.1 Eclair

Tried to install it on recent Dark Azure... it installs without problems, but browser crashes all the time, so still no flash, even flash lite, for legend and FroYo...

It's real I installed and then tried Adobe flash test website and flash is indeed installed

Seems to be working just fine.

working here, i tried a flashgame and also the adobe flash website... it said that flash 10.1.something is installed
performance is not that good, but i didnt expect it to be super fast

It's works on android 2.1 only, when you install flash 10.1 on froyo the browser will force close.

Yes it's real. Just install'd it, and ran some test pages. So far so good

Are you sure it replaced the flash lite from htc?
what happens if you use it on a rom NOT based on stock (like cyanogen 5) ?
I bet it works on stock based roms only, because they already have htc's flash lite.

[Q] Problems with music player and video

I'm posting this here because I can't post in the devlopers forum. I first installed Libery 1.5 from stock, the music player and anything to do with video files don't work. Music player says it can not play the file type, camcorder youtube ect. all force close. I tryed Multiple different ROM links for liberty 1.5 and couldn't get them to work. I just tryed fission 2.6 and same thing.
These things did work with my stock phone so please help. Can't imagine all of these ROM's all have the same glitch.

Sounds like you're not on the latest software. Are you on .340?

I don't think he is. I helped him get root and we flashed Librerty 1.5. I noticed it may be a kernel issue, as some other people have posted having errors with the music files. Is there a way to get him on the latest software? .. excuse me for not knowing, i use a different handset.
*EDIT* wiped data/factory reset and cleared caches.. installed a different ROM and all seems to be working correctly.

I loaded Dark Slide 3.2.1 now it all works fine. don't know but Dark slide is pretty sick I think I'll stick with it.

what rom you use, and is it oc or not.. maybe its something with that.

I could play videos on stock browser in stock froyo due to flash lite-its there in all stock roms
@arpan try it yourself

grrr. force close

for those that worked please add some more details .. ROM version and/or any other drivers installed???

I think it's overclocking that is causing reason. @all those like me which haven't got flash player working. Are you using overclock ROM?

try putting in system app and see if it works or not.

[Q] Flash Crashes all Web Browsers

Hi,
Rooted Nexus 7, Paranoid Android, with the Trinity Kernel.
Installed flash but every time i open a browser it crashes.
I need flash for attheraces replays
Any advice is much appreciated folks

4.1 and 4.2 do not officially support Flash Player --> crashes while trying to display Flash-based content
Solution:
1. Set the Flash content to be displayed manually by tapping on the webpage object
This can be set in following menus:
Settings - Advanced Settings - Allow plug-ins - On demand (in AOSP browser)
Settings - Content settings - Enable Flash - On demand (in Boat and Dolphin browsers)
Note - Chrome does not support Flash at all
Or
2. Stick to HTML5 only
Or
3. Use a device with Android 4.0 on board

I have that problem too. It didn't used to happen on 4.2.1 but then I tried that seeder thing before xda denounced it and then it started crashing. Even setting it as on demand will not work because once you click to open flash box it freezes. Firefox is the only browser that's hit or miss as to whether flash will work but all the others crash

the aosp android browser plays flash fine. theres a tutorial in the games/themes section about how to install it.

I downloaded and installed the Aosp browser but it appeared to be identical to the stock browser, renamed it etc. As per instructions from here. Should i delete the stock browser first?

honestly, i dont know which browser PA includes. if its the "stock" browser, then it is chrome, and doesnt support flash. they could possibly include the aosp android browser already. if they do, then it is the same. you can. is the new browser working for you with flash?

you might want to install the latest flash player apk too.. http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.36/install_flash_player_ics.apk

Will install Aosp browser and see how i get on, thanks

+1 (2 thumbs up) Dolphin browser was one of my favorite alternate until I discovered Boat browser, used it on rooted stock 4.1.2 and 4.2.1, stock kernel, plus franco & bricked kernel on the N7.
I used (free app) AntTeh App Manager to freeze/disable the Chrome browser on 4.2 and change Boat browser's setting to make it the default, On-demand Flash and it works 99.8% of the time so far, including Google searches. If it's still not smooth, disable the stock AOSP browser on the device, whether it's 4.1 or 4.2
For good measure, after making the changes - boot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache & restart - it doesn't hurt to clear most if not all of the saved settings.

Hi,
I have installed Boat browser and so far it seems OK, i think your right about the Trinity kernel so if the crashes continue i might check out the Motley kernel.
Cheers for your help

Yeah your right. At least for me its something that I changed that made it suddenly stop working. The only thing I do though was add that seeder apk and flash took a dump. What's really strange is like I said it'll work on Firefox sometimes and it works on puffin browser. It'll ramp up on other browsers like its gonna load but then almost like it overloads the GPU it'll freeze and crash the other browsers. What's worse is I've completely wiped formatted pushed new ROM etc and still get the same issues haha different kernel ROM combos. Nothing works but before that seeder apk it was working flawlessly

It won't matter, 4.2.2 doesn't have the native ability to use flash. There are a couple of threads floating around with people claiming different browsers will work with flash on 4.2.2, but I have only tried "Boat" browser and could not get it to work. I also remember seeing a thread that has a mod in it that that uses a different build prop and modified APK to make flash work with 4.2.2 but I haven't tried it either. You can use the search function to try to find the thread I am talking about and maybe it will help you. Good luck.

I'm telling you guys, I've tried all the browsers with flash- aosp, boat, naked browser, the only one which works consistently and absolutely flawlessly is dolphin with the latest flash from Adobe's website and dolphin jetpack installed and active. I've never encountered flash that wouldn't play properly, and it is always fully functional (unlike the next best browsers like boat and aosp, which for whatever reason seem to have difficulty using flash navigation/seek bars/play/pause, etc, which works great in dolphin). Give it a shot. You might have to do the dolphin trick to enable flash to "always on" (either by restoring a titanium setting for a previous dolphin install or by deleting a particular dolphin settings file in your phone, I forget which, but I can look it up if anyone's curious), but I'm telling you, flash works beautifully on this phone as long as you have the proper tricks/browser.
Now, as far as Google recognizing flash is still essential, I completely agree. Until the web is flushed of all things flash, it is asinine to argue that since flash is not as efficient as it should be, people shouldn't use it in their websites, and we shouldn't be able to watch it. The web is full of flash, and acting like it's not there doesn't solve anything.

Nothing special:
1. I enabled Flash Player in Boat Browser Pro (Settings>Page Content Settings>Enable Flash/Plug-ins to Always ON)
2. Installed the latest Adobe Flash Player - use the suggested link/download.
Also, there seems to be a way to enable Flash support in the stock browser; I haven't tried it yet (although I plan on) but you can give it a try and let us know.

I don't know how you're using Flash with Dolphin. In the app itself it says that Dolphin no longer supports Flash on Android 4.1+.
It works with Firefox.

That is exactly what I have done and it acts like the flash player wants to start playing content, but just shows a blank screen and a few seconds later force closes boat browser. The only difference I can tell is that I am using the free version of boat browser but the flash plugin "always on" option is still there? I already know about the other ASOP option, but I think I might try Dolphin browser to see if it will work. So I am glad it is working for you, but I don't think it works for all.
**EDIT**
I didn't try Dolphin browser...too much crap involved. But I did install Firefox with the latest Android Flash APK and it is working for me just fine. If there won't be any ROMs with flash baked in (once the bootloader is unlocked) I will probably go with the ASOP option, but Firefox will do for now.

I keep my Dolphin browser at version 8.5.1, which I believe was the last version to support Flash. I ignore the dolphin update notice in Google play..

There are a variety of ways to get flash working on the latest version of Dolphin. The easiest is to find version 8.5.1 circulating on the web, install it, set the flash to "on demand" or "always on," do a titanium backup, then update to the latest version of dolphin, and then do a titanium restore of just the dolphin app data (not the app itself). This will restore the setting for flash to either "on demand" or "always on," depending on which you had set it to in 8.5.1. Besides this, there are a bunch of other methods including deleting a particular setting file, which will automatically enable flash. They are described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846225
But as I said, flash only works perfectly on Dolphin if you also install the Dolphin Jetpack from the Play store. If you don't, it semi works (similar to the way it "works" with boat... some files play fine, some stall, some crash, and most won't show the seek bar/pause/play during playback). With Jetpack installed and activated, flash plays just like it does on my computer.
