[FIX] For Evo's having problems with latest Flash 10.2 update (10.2.157.51)

I was one of the many Evo users who's flash video was killed after the last Flash Player update. After much searching, couldn't find a single thing on why so many of us were having this problem so decided to do a little tinkering.
In my phone, I found a 2nd "libflashplayer.so" file under \system\lib\ which was also a different size from the one under \data\data\com.adobe.flashplayer\lib.
It also remained there after completely uninstalling the current version of Flash.
Installed the latest update and confirmed it as not working
Renamed the \system\lib\ file to "libflashplayer.bak" and flash instantly worked again! Putting the file back to normal instantly broke flash again too.
Also tried replacing it with the copy from \data\ (since it was the latest version) and flash still works just fine and didn't revert back to the older file after a reboot.
So - If any of you also have problems with the latest 10.2.157.51 version of Flash Player - check your \system\lib\ folder for this file and either rename or replace it and see if it solves this for you too
(Note - Always backup stuff first, and I am not liable if you fry your phone. ^_^)

It never ceases to amaze me up buggy and poorly controlled Flash is.
Thanks man.

Interesting i just updated flash NOW after trying twice before only to find video playback broken and it seems like they fixed it themselves now it is works, without doing anything on my end lol - Thank anyhow though!

Now you know why Steve Jobs doesn't want to see flash on Iphone or Ipad.
By the way - thx for the info.

To be fair, this is less adobe's fault, and more HTC's fault for putting the libraries in a read only filesystem. Even that would be alright if that path didn't superscede the ones in /data. I've been doing this on my own phone for a while now, and it does fix a lot of problems with flash. I wish more devs would take care not to put market apps that are subject to frequent updates in /system anyways. It doesn't really save any space in the long run.

How are you guys renaming this file? When I try it says "insufficient permission". Tried with Astro.

Found the answer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609866.
Download Etrong file explorer and give it root access.

Wouldn't upgrading to 10.3 fix the issue even easier?

10.3 wasn't working for me either (I'm on the SprintLover's ROM), but after doing this, it works!
Thanks, OP!

I used ROOT EXPLORER to do this... thats the only program I know that works. it allows you to make the folder R/W instead of R/O then you can rename..
Im glad I found this.. now I am updates to 10.3 .. is there any difference in anything in 10.3 ?

Thanks! This fixed it on my EVO (running Fresh's 3.5.1 Froyo ROM), I used EStrongs file manager to make the necessary changes (you have to enable root options and mount system under settings first). Spent like half an hour trying to find a solution, since the search terms for the problem can be so generic ("Flash", "broken", "black box", etc. just returns a million different results).

WHY do some sites still say you need adobe flash when I go to them?? they worked with the old version.. could it be I have my browser agent set for desktop and the flash installed on the evo is reporting android?

My flash was also broken after the 10.2 (and 10.3) update. I used the method from the OP and it worked. Has anyone noticed though that after doing this fix if you have your "enable plugins" setting on your browser set to "on demand" that all flash content will say: "you need to update flash player to watch this video"? When the "enable plugins" setting is set to "always on" everything works flawlessly. I guess I should be happy that i got flash back at all but it kind of sucks because I like having my browser set to on demand so flash doesn't slow down my browsing experience.
At any rate big thanks to the OP

THANK YOU!!
This finally solved my problem, but in addition to renaming the libflashplayer.so file, I had to also rename libflashsnddec.so. Until I renamed the second file, Flash v10.3 kept giving me that blue Lego block with the question mark.
Thanks again!
Edit: Whoa...don't rename or delete libflashsnddec.so! Doing so causes both DolphinHD and the stock Android browser to abend on some websites (even simple ones like Amazon, etc.). I tried various combinations, uinstalls, reinstalls, clearing cache, backing out to an older version of 10.2 that worked previously, etc., and all ended up pointing to renaming/deleting libflashsnddec.so.

One question though. Would changing the .so to .bak affect when trying to update from the market? It worked like a charm by the way. Thanks.

Using that fix causes the stock browser and Dolphin Browser HD to abruptly close without even a Force Close warning.
I replaced the lib in /system/lib with the one from the latest Flash Player update and also placed the lib in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib which was actually empty before I put the file there.
Edit: Nevermind. Got it. Removed the APK from /system/app and installed via Market. This placed the libs in the right folder and then I just copied them to /system/lib.
Edit 2: Alright, I'm trying to get this fix to work for my ROM so people don't have to do this manually.
So, I put the files in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib so they get copied over when the ROM is flashed by the updater-script. However if I do this while the install_flash_player APK is present in /system/app, it seems to erase the contents of that folder causing Flash Player to not work again. I need to find a way to make it so the libs stay in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib.
Any suggestions?

I moved the file to the proper folder using r/o and root explorer, and rebooted
both files are in place, but I still get the blue ? mark on certain sites

[MOD] Sense 3.0 Mail.apk with exchange pin security disabled

Alright kids, after much trial and error, here is a working Sense 3.0 Mail.apk with exchange pin security disabled for those who hate entering a pin every time they want to unlock their phone.
Other Sense 3.0 ROMs have successfully cracked their Mail.apks to get around this, but none of them ever worked properly with the Thunderbolt... but our wait is finally over
I made sure to mod the apk to disable ONLY the pin security while leaving all other security measures intact
INSTRUCTIONS (it's also never a bad idea to make a nandroid backup first):
For the Mail.apk
1) Download the attached Mail.apk
2) Mount the system as R/W (either using Root Explorer or 'adb remount')
3) Copy the new Mail.apk to system/app via root explorer and overwrite the older file when it asks, or push the file to system/app via adb
4) Set permissions as rw-r--r--
5) Reboot
6) After reboot, open up the Mail app and set up your exchange account all the way through naming the account, then hit 'Finish Setup'
7) You will be prompted to enable security policy... this is normal so hit 'OK'
8) You will get to another screen asking you to activate security policies... again, this is normal so select 'Activate'. From here on out you will never be prompted to enter a pin
9) Profit!
For the PatchedMail.zip
1) Download the .zip and toss it on your SD card
2) Reboot into CWM
3) WIPE DALVIK-CACHE!!! (Won't work properly if you don't do this)
4) Install the .zip then reboot
5) Follow steps 6-9 above
If you have issues, try clearing dalvik-cache when installing
NOTE: This only works with Sense 3.0, it will not work if trying to flash over the Sense 2.0/1 Mail.apk. And yes, this IS working on Gingerbread ROMs
Enjoy!

Love it! Too bad I am running the ofmgb ROM

Where can I get this for a non sense ROM?

Does this app have both security check-box options that come in the stock Email.apk app?
"Use secure connection (SSL)"
"Accept all SSL certificates"
I need both checked (and available) to access my work exchange server, and the Sense MAIL.apk doesn't include the latter check box, for some kooky reason.
Thanks!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I've been waiting for this for a while. I was using Touchdown but that sucks, lol. Thanks again.

This is still the Sense Mail.apk, I just edited the smails in the apk to return the pin security whenever the app requests it. You won't gain any new functionality with this mod so the 'use secure ssl' option is still the only one that shows up

Do you know if this apk can be used on an Evo 4G with Gingerbread? The Sense 3.0 mail that comes with the Evo 3D is the only one that can do push Hotmail in HTML (other than TouchDown). Thanks.

Thank you so much!

Will this also fix the problem I have with not having Exchange emails pushed as frequently as they are on Froyo?

I don't see how. This just circumvents the pin or password policy pushed by exchange admins.

I just wanna throw this out there for some people.
PLEASE KNOW/UNDERSTAND your security policies at work, using this mod could/may be grounds for termination or civil penalties by your Employer.

Is anyone having problems with the setting for HTML emails as default sticking? It will stay for a bit but then later in the day it will be on plain text.

Sorry for the dumb question. What is the difference between the Mail.apk and PatchedMail.apk?
Im guessing that Mail.apk replaces the native app while PatchedMail.apk patches the native app. Is that right?

I finally tried mail.apk with my Tbolt running NonS3ns3. First, the list of mail providers was blank when the app first started. I was able to select the 1st slot which was the one for AES. Then I got a forced closed when I tried to configure my Exchange server.
I thought NonS3ns3 was a Sense ROM and that the modified mail.apk would work.
Any suggestions?

Switched to BAMF Forever 1.0.6 ROM and was able to use this modded mail.apk package.

I've been unsuccesfull getting this installed on BAMF 1.0.6. I get a force close before even attempting to launch the app. I've wiped cache and delvik to no avail.
Did you use the .apk file or the flashable zip? did you have to fix permissions?
I've tried both of the above

You have to delete your Mail database. Try Titanium Backup and use it to delete the data for the app.

Try to delete gmail account, clear market data them add gmail account and try to download again

me too running taboonay 2.1
i have this problem too - and it seems others have too according to the taboonay thread...there are quite a few solutions that have been posted including
- deleting your market gmail account and setting up a whole new one,
- downgrading to 1.0.28
- upgrading to 3.1.5/3.1.6
- installing apps thru the website
- updating the rom to 2.2
- downgrading back to 2.1
- wiping caches, reflashing etc
but nothing has worked for me unfortunately tho i havent reflashed (yet)
I see someone has posted a new market version 3.3.11 so i'm about to try that, so i'll let u know how it goes in a few ticks!!

ok, its working...for now
right, this is what i did -
backed up!
cleared market data via settings>manage apps, cache was already mt
rebooted
d/l 3.3.11 from here and installed.
now, after i opened it had to do the 'accept' thing and then tried to d/l a game. I got a dialogue asking which application i would like to use and the choices were:
a) com.google.android.finsky, or
b) com.android.vending
i wasn't sure which one so chose a) and got an error "device not compatible" turns out "finsky" was my original market 1.0.28, so -
used the shortcut for 3.3.11 and voila i'm all sweet, woohoo!!!!
i wouldnt be sure that this is "solved" but it is working - i also have 2 market
shortcuts in my apps list and both versions showing in root explore and titanium
unsure as to whether i can uninstall orig. market
but for the moment i think i'll leave things as they are good luck

I am on a 3.2 stock rom and have the same issue. I have tried some of those above mentioned solutions except changing rom and different market app (I am not rooted so I can't try that) and none worked.
I have sent an email to market support and they are looking to it. But I guess 4.0 will be here before they find a solution.

Usually I find the way to fix this problem is to replace vending.apk in your app folder with a compatible one. You need root to do this, as it involves deleting/renaming a file in the system.

[Q] no working market on stock 3.2 ROM

Hi
Having some physical AZERTY keyboard issues with Taboonay 2.2 (great ROM), I decided to come back to stock 3.2 ROM, wich I did (downloading it from here).
But the problem now is that my market does not want to download anything, keeping stuck on "Preparing to download" or something like that...
Did some of you have this issue ?
How to solve it ?
Thanks
Nico

Restart the device, log into Gtalk and then try downloading from the market.

Might need a different version of the market app. If the above trick doesn't help, let me know, and I'll get you a good working version with instructions how to install it. I sometimes get that same error (stuck at downloading), but usually I have to cancel it several times, and eventually it get's going. Pretty sure with me, it's the Market site. They've only put out about 50 different versions of it, and when you get one that works, disable the auto update. Hopefully that stops it from updating to a newer version that doesn't work.

Ok, here is the market app I use.
I'm an old fashioned guy, so heed the instructions,
I assume you are rooted.
1. Using root explorer, or a file manager that has root access, rename you current "vending.apk" to like "oldvending.apk"
2. copy my market.apk into system/app folder.
3. Rename the market.apk to vending.apk (you probably need to only change the first name).
4. With your file manager, you can check the permissions (long press). Make sure your vending.apk has the same permissions as other files in the directory. Click the box as needed.
5. Reboot your tablet.
6. Go to Settings/applications/application manager, and delete the cache's.
7. This will make you log in to google market again when you start the app.
Should work, as the same version works for me.
EDIT: XDA, seems not to be able to handle attachments just now. They seem overloaded...... They can only handle about 200 users at any one time.

Android 4.3 Needs To Bring Back The Default Browser!

I love my new Nexus 7 but the lack of the default Browser is rather painful for me to do without. Does anyone else miss that Browser? The ability to never see the address bar as it frees up screen real estate as well as the Quick Controls, which I find are superior to any browser on Google Play, are the main reasons I want to see this browser back on Android 4.3. I already tried to install BrowserGoogle.apk and it just will not install. I wonder is anyone up to making this work for 4.3?

You can't just install the standard browser like other apk's:
Once you have root, remount /system rw.
Copy the browser.apk I linked before to /system/apps
Rename browserproviderproxy.apk and .odex to something else
Ensure the permissions on browser.apk are 664 (rw-rw-r--)
Reboot
ES file explorer can be used for everything if you're not comfortable doing it from a shell session.

The APK it installs is from 4.0 for the browser and the Flash is from ICS....What difference does it make if the app to install it is for 4.2.2..Almost every single App I have installed from playstore is from 4.2 or bellow....Not to mention Most of these peeps here wont even want to change the name of an app, then place it in a folder, then change its permissions. Hell just the fact that this thread was started shows that most won't even search for the how to.

I'm not talking about the app to install it, I'm talking about the version of browser.apk the app installs. I didn't realise it was the 4.0 version of browser installed, I assumed it would be the version taken from aosp 4.2.2 and would be updated to install the version from 4.3 shortly. Why isn't it installing the latest version of browser available? Only reason I can think of is for compatability maybe?
Similarly, I would always reccomend downloading the latest version of flash directly from the adobe website than using some apk posted on xda, personally. If people can't be bothered and the shortcut methods work fine for them then great! But there's no harm in giving the info on how to do it manually. Knowledge is power!

This is perfect thanks for posting. Sadly I have three websites I use for work that are flash intensive.

Take it elsewhere kids. Unless it relates to helping the OP get an AOSP browser, do not post it.

Do you know anything about the AOSP Browser Installer in the Play Store ?
What is this browser ?
I installed it and it took 5 minutes the the device to reboot ... then it seemed to factory reset my device kinda ... all the google apps were older from when I updated recently. Also, every app that had been purchased was gone ... I had to re-install and it gets worse before I could re-install I had to go into the /data/data folder and delete the paid app's folder then it would install ... not sure why this happened it was a pain to do this, is their any tool that could have fixed this ?

Google should have never removed it from these devices on the stock ROMs. Chrome even today is still not as smooth.
