cdma hero DOES flash 10

“The HTC Hero will not be supported [because] it does not have the correct Android OS version and its chipset is not powerful enough. We require a device an ARM v7 (Cortex) processor. Examples include the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets and TI OMAP3 series.”
The above statement by adobe reps is confusing since my cdma hero DOES play flash 10. Just thought this was noteworthy,for those hero owners who were not aware of this.

and where's the flash 10 apk flash file at?

The new Sense 2.1 roms have it integrated already. It works suprisingly well. At least well enough to watch a video or something similar.

haha yes it does flash. its useless though alot of times. it also eats cpu and ram and everything so i turn it off when not using for a video. adobe throws bs anyways.
anyone with 2.1 and the internet browser have flash. enjoy

Do we throw children in jail because they ask stupid questions? No, we don't because they know no better. The people who should be banned are pompous people like you who go out of their way to suggest a banishing.

It does not make me stupid to have an opinion. I did read what he said in his post earlier, does that mean everyone besides you will go into his post about his new rom to find out if their hero can utilize flash? Btw we are not in communist russia, take it easy with all the "banning". There's a reason you dont have that type of authority....

Wowee, lots of flaring tempers around these parts...
Anyhow, I, too, followed the same train of thought as the OP. I remember reading that the Hero would not get flash and then was really surprised to see videos loading and even flash ads working. A nice surprise, even if there is a bit of a tradeoff for those god damn flash ads.

What's so great about Froyo??? IYO

Is it just me, maybe I missed something, .. been anxiously awaiting 2.2, flashed it today, what are the pros? No wifi tether, capped fps, no UI enhancements (that I noticed). Anyone wanna tell me they are lovin it, and why? Maybe I was expecting too much.
Sorry wrong thread, tryin to figure out how to delete...

this should not be posted here. post in q and a.
and do some more reading because many of those things work.
and how about making your phone 3 to 5 times faster!!!
use the search button to the top right

It's much faster for one and more refined than earlier builds. That last past is much more apparent in aosp builds then with sense. And there is WiFi tether. You just have to use the latest apk. And just an FYI, prepare to ne flamed by someone. This type of post belongs in q&a.

wrong. there is no froyo ROM with working WiFi Tether

You'll see more of the benefits when all of the source is out there.

Is there a latest froyo rom that I can download and test?

so WiFi Tethering is working on your ROM? if so that is great to hear.
I going to go read your thread and try to get some confirmation of this.

You really really can tell the phone is less sluggish. Video-taking is much improved because of this. The speed of which i can snap photos of funny **** my kids are doing is so important to me. They can be doing funny things for half a second and can't stand any lag.
The signal seems improved to me in my area with the new radio flash. so thats good
The phone is just loads better at what it is supposed to do.

The only one worth mentioning in that lot is 4g.

Ya...Try one of the Kernels floatin around to speed things up

I just flashed BakedSnack's rom (Thank you kind sir) and it's scary fast. 47 MFLOPS compared to 7 on 2.1. I just tested the wifi-tethering and it worked seamlessly. I also don't have the FPS capped situation. I'm averaging around 50 at the moment.

I was just about to say the same.

I think the Froyo update was over-hyped. I haven't noticed any significant increase in speed or battery life, same 4G/3G performance, and Hulu doesn't work.

[CLOSED THREAD] HoneyComb sdk preview avialable

Just saying
http://www.androidcentral.com/android-30-sdk-preview-2d-3d-graphics-and-dual-core-support-honeycomb

First of all, WOOT!
Secondly, does anyone have any success stories of trying out the Honeycomb SDK on the G Tab?

I love how they're calling sub views fragments.

+1. im downloading it now to try it on the emulator but id rather see it on my gtab
EDIT: Did i miss understand the reading? Because I don't see the honeycomb sdk "preview" in the android sdk/avd manager
EDIT2: nevermind it's there

What is the link for the Honeycomb sdk?

The Sdk can be found at http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html... follow instructions to install... once you are up and running (1)install the honeycomb packages (at bottom) (2)run a virtual machine with honeycomb as the target (3) rotate head sideways... when creating the AVD I install all hardware and beef up the vm heap size, hw.ram, and sd card and its still really slow... sorry for rick rolling but it really was on clockworkmods twitter

Helloooo World!
I did a HelloWorld application and ran it in the emulator and it worked (slowly )! I am so ready for a gtab rom that will run these apks.

My first experience with Android was running it on the HTC Touch as a fully functioning emulator running from the SD card. Any chance of doing something like that with this?

If you want to rotate the emulator "ctrl f12".

Xoom might be released end of February, so who knows maybe we can get it (Honeycomb) soon. I love this forum and the people driving it.

They usually cut the release at the same time as a device that's launching with it.
(Droid/N1/NS)

I downloaded it and had a play around. It looks really cool, but really, really slow. I know it's because it is prerelease and emulated, but I wonder just how resource hungry it is on an actual tablet? I've seen the clips of the motorola xoom running it, but that is just a tech demo video it runs, not the actual thing, so I am curious about this.
Anyway, looks really good and seem quite intuitive.

Has anyone tried to pull any of the APK's out and see if any of it works with one of our ROM's
I suspect kernel and framework issues would make this unlikely. I might try here shortly, but it's not really something I have a lot of experience with.

The reason that it is slow is not because it's resource hungry, it's because the emulation of ARM devices sucks balls.

The reason it's slow is because it is pre-release. First they implement functions then comes the performance tuning.

Have you loaded a vm with a cut release? Slow as balls.

Exactly, the emulator is slow no matter it being pre-release or release. My quadcore system with lots of ram runs it the same as my dual core low ram system. Heck the virtual Ubuntu box I sometimes run on my bigger system runs it the same.

Ha Ha, I did mention both of these reasons in my post, was just wondering if it would be fast on a tablet, in it's current form... and what they would have to do to it to get it faster.

[Q] Honeycomb on Hero?

can anybody port the 3.0 honeycomb version to our beloved Hero?
they did it to the G1/Magic, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RKEHfOwnSI&feature=player_embedded
any hope??

If there is a port to G1/Magic I guess that is possible a port to Hero..

Sitting here, playing with an ugly port of the sdk, the first images,most just to remove my pin code so I can get into the system

yes elelinux!
do you think when the sources get released you would have much chance of building a full (or near full) working honeycomb rom?

I think it's possible, but it will not be easy. Especially because Honeycomb is made for tablets... and not for our phones.

If it's built from SDK I bet that almost none of the hardware is working...

That is correct, but strangely all the backlighting of the buttons etc worked out of the box, buttons it is easy to fix if you want.
Just a little test for fun nothing else, also saw that there was support for mdpi so theoretically it could be working on Hero with some manual intervention.
Another thing to, boot up without problems

Yes but hardly anything is working! Even the Nexus one has no audio,wifi,bluetooth,calls!

Yes, it is foolish to ask for a ROM that's meant to run on tablets to be made for phones. But I never have never said and never will say no to a new ROM...
Sent from my Hero using XDA App

Yes it's going to run like ass and our screens won't do any good either.
But... as always, I'm eager to see what crazy stuff the ROM-people come up with.

but the sdk version includes some feature of switching from tablet to mobile mode by simply changing resolution... they won't have included it if it wasn't meant to be run on mobiles, and in 3.1, mobile (2.x) and tablet (3.0) development lines shall be joined (says wikipedia lol). moreover, lots of people out here said it would be impossible to run 2.2 and 2.3 on hero, and right now i'm looking at my rooted android 2.3 hero which is incredibly smooth and stable (way better than with stock os). so why shouldn't it be possible? ele just said even backlight of the buttons worked out of the box, which was not case in 2.x. i'm still believing in our developers (although i can't code well enough to support them ) and i'm sure they'll do some magic
greets, Summoner

Do you really use wikipedia for truths? Anyone can add to Wiki?!

no i don't... i just think it sounds possible... otherwise, there would be two future development lines which the consequence would be that there were VERY different features depending where more / the better devs work on lol^^
i didn't claim it was the absolute truth, otherwise i wouldn't have explicitly said it came from wiki ...

[Q] Skype Front Facing Camera Hack?

The new Skype (2) was released today and has support for 4 phones with front facing cameras. I was wondering if it's possible for the Netflix hack to be applied to Skype... in at least a similar fashion? I'm not sure how the netflix hack worked to begin with (APK hack or Build.prop... still a noob to android guts). I'm also wondering if it only works on 2.3 because of the new camera api's...
Anyone else curious/interested? I don't know how to hack it but I am just curious.

I am both, curious and interested...

Sadly, a simple mod on the APK or build.prop won't be enough. That's the reason Qik has a dedicated video app for motorola atrix. It's an API/driver issue.

In android development theres one, check it out :-D(before complaing, its test version guys)

Cool, that was fast! I didn't see it, must have come up right before I posted.
Edit: Can't find the topic, got a link?

not entirely correct, with Gingerbread (2.3.3+) Google included a standard FFC driver which Moto has stated is compatible with the Atrix and should be used for any further development on GB platforms. on froyo, all carriers had to figure out FFC drivers on their own, but for GB it's standard.

are you running froyo or gingerbread?

So are we saying that once Gingerbread is fully released for the Atrix that Skype will easily be able to add support in for the phone?

theoretically, yes. since all GB devices will be able to use a common FFC driver, it shouldn't be a problem. of course, nothing ever goes that smoothly or easily...

skype and all would be great, but id be more interested in getting the FFC to actually work... in the unofficial GB (or whatever u wanna call it) release the FFC doesnt work..

How about on the skype hack that just came out (look at android police) on 2.3.4
