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

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.

I also installed it on my DHD
Sometimes it crashes my browser, also it wont report that 10.2 is installed when I check adobe's support site it says that I have 10.1.92 installed.
Tried reboots, reinstalling it etc...

I got that too, the comments in the Market show the same. Most users are fine though.

I got a Froyo Sense rom running, & 480p in youtube is running perfectly in Miren browser. Before it used to jerk every 10-15 seconds.

ive uninstalled the latest flash back to 10.1 but now flash pages dont load

Try uninstalling again, reboot, and install from the .apk again.

I also have some issues with flashplayer.. even with 10.1. When i watch a video in the browser (480p) it works fine for the first time (no lags, cpu is at about 80% @1ghz), but when i restart my browser it starts to lag like hell... even on 1.8ghz and only 360p(dunno the exact pixels)
Any sollution for that?
Edit: tried revo hd 3.2, leedroid 2.2 and core droid 3.2. Did a fullwipe every time and always the same result. Also tried some kernels i had before. I knoe that it worked some days/weeks ago.
I've no clue what's going on here.

Overcome 4.0.0 - Apps not compatible

Your build must be from stock rom as instructed from Overcome team.
Then comparisons can be made...

Some themes for ADW EX launcher - ADW EX does work.
Getting a lot of FCs on 4.0.0
What are other users of 4.0.0 finding ?
Any ideas how to fix/patch or work arounds.

I have just degraded from 2.3.5 to 2.3.3 Overcome 7 v4.0.0 rom and kernel and is working fine with most of the apps.
I followed the steps on this site as a guide:

Maybe you wana try fixing permissions at the recovery menu, I was told that would resolve most of the FCs issue.

Hate to bump an older thread but have a fix for the market. This is not related to the FC issues mentioned in the OP but the Android market may not like your DPI setting if you changed it. I had this issue with Adobe Flash and Where's my Water. To download apps that "are not compatible with your device" just edit your build.prop:
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
After you reboot, clear the market data and cache and you will be able to download your app. You can change your DPI back once your app is downloaded. I've had to do this on my G2 and the Tab.
Kind Regards,
Kevin

Agreed. I haven't found any app incompatible with OC 4.0 or now 4.1.
Although I have no idea how to edit that file (n00b) ....I use LCD Resolution app to the same thing (I think).

try the new update 4.1.0

I would suggest to use Overcome 4.1.0 too. After installing the ROM just apply the Old Market Patch from OC 4.0.0.
It works well for me without any problems with downloading apps. The newer markets are much more restrictive.

works for me that way, too. Thanks!

On overcome 4.0 i had problems with the market. After installing 4.1 nowipe zip everything works perfectly

Nothing to do with the ROM. When you install 4.1.0 (or 4.0.0) it resets whatever you had back to 240. And market works.

LMFAO
I knew it. So none of you have changed DPI *after* installing OC 4.1 and *not* had the market issue.
Therefore the original comments still stand.
Jeez.

Why dont you install a new, better browser; both Dolphin Browser and Opera Mobile are pretty good.

Yes, I know all of these browsers, but in Overcome 4.0.0 the native browser is excelent on smoth scrolling, best ever I seen in Android...
I'll try to Wipe and made a fresh installation of 4.1.0 to check if there is really a problem.

Can't Get Flash To Work On 4.2

After many hours of reading posts, installing different roms, installing all the flash apk's floating around the forums and trying every available browser, I decided to post here. I have not been able to get flash player to work at all with 4.2 on any custom rom. Every browser I have tried has crashed. I have been at this game for several years, so I have jumped through all the hoops, fixing permissions, fresh installs, etc... My question is, has anybody else had this experience? I am not really looking for testimonials of it working for people right out of the gate, because obviously it is by the lack of postings on this issue. If you fall into the category of struggling with flash on 4.2 and found a combination that finally works, please pass that info on. Thanks and have a great day.

Flash on 4.2
I don't know about on a custom ROM, but this browser plays flash on stock 4.2 with a custom kernel
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/52089051/HoloWeb.apk
Worked out of the box for me.

Hi OP,
I am facing exactly the same problem as you. Mine is a Nexus 7 3g model running on android 4.2 which I got yesterday. I have also try installing every possible flash apk that i can find...tried on alot of browser. Firefox beta, boat browser, dolphin version 8 to 9, holu as recommended by the post above. None can get to work. Its either the browser crash or some can't even display any flash plugin.
Did Google did any modifications to 4.2 that prevent flash from working?? If anybody has solve the problem please share your solution. I am also not a newbie to rooting and custom Roms as my mobile is galaxy s2 and is rooted with custom ROM. Just that I tot nexus 7 can install flash without Going through that. By as the op indicates, even that did not help him.
Thanks for any help in advance!!

Thanks for the reply. I was really not wanting to go the stock route unless necessary. I will tuck the download away and use if need be. Thanks for the response.

Flash is working but only for really small videos.
When it comes to bigger videos or apps it freezes the browser.(Both with Custom and normal kernel)

I tried that combination, didn't experiment with any other kernel but the one built into the rom. I don't know, hard to imagine it being a hardware issue with my device.

Use the AOSP stock browser mainly, but tried boat, xscope and others that I have had success with on 4.1.2. I will try adfree with a fresh install and see what happens. Thanks.

Same problem here. It's working with some flash but definitely not all. Even the one on adobe website that checking whether flash is installed make browser crashed. ><
Hope to find solution too.

If you have flash can you watch hulu without a plus subscription?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Well, only solution I've found for now.
Use Firefox for android. It's only browser I've found working with almost all flash.
If you'd still prefer other browser as default, just switch off flash/plugin option in that browser to "on demand" (not always).
Then download Flashify from playstore, it helps share link to other browser with ease.
I use AOSP as my default browser, when I browse to a page with flash and I want to see, just share it to Firefox via Flashify.
That's my solution for now, hope this help.

Hi guys,
Seems like there is a mixture of success and failure of getting flash working on Android 4.2.
Care to share what device you are using be it success or failure?
I still can't get mine to work.
Nexus 7 (3G Model)
Stock condition: Andriod 4.2
I even come across a thread where after he did a factory reset the flash got working. I did my factory reset...still no luck.

Well, I'll share my detail.
Nexus 7 wifi model 32GB
Stock JB 4.2 Rooted
Flash player 11.1.115.27 (Try other version - same result)
Flash working on Firefox for android only, no other browsers.
Should I try factory reset then ?

I have it on my 32GB Wi-Fi. 4.2

Do you mean when you flash back to AOKP 4.1.2 you got the flash working perfectly? The choppy happen on the 4.2 is it?

Sorry, flash was too choppy for me with Firefox on 4.2. I reverted back to 4.1.2 until things get ironed out with possible updates or a solid solution.

[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?

+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.

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

flash is a problem, since it doesnt officially support our device or its software. try the adfree app also. you might be trying to view a porn site, and they typically are full of flash ads(yes, from experience).. :silly:
