Downloading .zip files from the browser - Droid X General

Why can we not download .zip files on the new gingerbread leak? I want to try the new themes put out but having to always do it from a computer is quite tedious

Have you tried using a different browser such as dolphin or skyfire?

No I'm using the stock browser I don't really care for the alternates, I was able to do it on froyo. I flashed a lot of themes that way while I was at work

I just downloaded the TBH tether zip using the stock browser on rooted gb. Works fine for me.

hmmm that's weird then because I'm trying to download the gingercomb theme from media fire and it always says download unsuccessful, maybe it's just my browser

Download filesusing stock browser

Hi to everyone, I would like to know if there is a way to download file from internet ( mediafire, etc) using the stock froyo browser.. it keeps. Saying me that the content cannot be managed by the browser. If I use dolphin hd everything works fine. But I want to use the default browser, so there is a solution? thanks in advance

Just download bytetornado in the market. Allows u to download any file extension using the stock browser, im using that..
Download astro file browser. It integrates into the stock browser giving you the ability to download anything.
Yeah i use Astro too. I can now download from rapidshare/megaupload .etc... and then use Astro to open them up. Good combo
Thanks to everyone... do you think that in 3.0 Rom will be implemented in stock browser the possibilities to download every kind of files?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Well, if you have a rooted N1, the stock browser in CM6 allows you to download any file type. I think Enom 2.11.x also does the same...
Stock CM6 recent nightly here, downloading files without any market file explorers.
Plus it's awesome. Serious.
My Custom ROM downloads any file as well. More info can be found here

[MOD] Flash 10.3 Working HULU Updated: 8/9/11

Thanks goes to s197 From incredibleforum.com
I just reuploaded the file and pieced together two different posts of his to get the original to work on this phone.
Hope you all enjoy!
Thanks to KhasMek and anyone else i forgot!
also, make sure your browser is not set to use mobile. it will not work if it is set to that. so if your using stock browser un-check mobile view. if your using dolphin HD make sure your User Agent is set to Desktop.
Flash 10.3 + Hulu_8 is version 10.3.186.3
Edit 2:
updated for new flash, thanks Almighty1 for the edited libflashplayer.so that's been put into the latest flash from market
and added a zip of the modded .so file. i had no problem installing it though after i uninstalled the previous version of the apk.
You can use root uninstaller from market to uninstall some of those apps, such as flash, that come pre-installed on your phone. If you do it that way, make sure to do a reboot after you uninstall flash to make sure it uninstalls all the way.
compuw22c has also made a flashable version if you guys prefer.

Hey guys, visitor from the Epic forums but I loved these hacked libs, but had issues with them sticking on reboot after upgrading to gingerbread. I've compiled them into a CWM flashable zip located in This Post or This DL Link. Details included in the post, credit goes to imneveral0ne for the hex-edited lib files. Enjoy guys! (actually, I'm not quite sure if you guys have this issue or if you have a GB leak out, but regardless, if it doesn't stick on reboot or in 4 days when you get your update, you'll be ready)

http://www.mediafire.com/?j4i91phv6g96rtm
Basically, you need to be root. Extract the files to your phone (system -> /system, data -> /data) and reboot. You need to have stock flash installed. It basically patches the libflashplayer on startup so you don't have to manually.

Ok i got Hulu working on my Thunderbolt by following these steps.
1. Download Flash 10.2 on your phone, make sure its set to not auto update
2. Download http://www.mediafire.com/file/en3tj77er9ucrqp/libflashplayer.so
3. Use Root Explorer or ADB to put the file in: /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib
4. If it asks if you want to overwrite the file chose yes, i know it will if you use root explorer, not sure about adb cause i didnt use it.
5. Enjoy Hulu on your ThunderBolt!

Can I get Flash working?

Hi all,
As per the thread title, is there any known way to get flash working with any browser on the Nexus 7?
You can install a separate APK from online, as in the Play Store flash is listed as incompatible. It should work fairly well with most browsers, however Chrome does not support Flash at all.

Browsing with Chrome is super smooth. There was some noticeable lag at first, but after the OTA update, everything ran a lot smoother, and haven't noticed any lag since. Typing is just as smooth too. For some graphic-intensive pages, the whole site doesn't show-up while you're scrolling until you stop scrolling, but it's a very minor issue.
Browsing is really nice in Chrome. Better than Dolphin HD in fact. I'd like to know how to get flash to install though to use with Dolphin HD. I have Flash 11 .apk but it will not install and noting else is showing up in GP. Anyone?

I'm having the same problem. I heard that is has to do with the OTA update messing with the ability to install Flash. Other APK's installed fine, so I can't think of why else.

It's pretty much dead for every system but windows anyway. Linux flash support has always been crap and they gave up on that too.
I thought it was bad when they didn't support PPC Linux. For being an internet standard they surely are limited.

You might need a Webkit browser like Naked Browser to run Flash content. I believe Firefox also runs Flash. I don't have the stock AOSP browser but isn't it Webkit? If so, it should support flash.

Firefox runs flash and so does an older version of Dolphin (8.5.1 is what I'm running). Not sure about the others.

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.

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.
