I have done a little bit of searching... the most recent threads that came up in my search were over 1 year old. Yeah, I'm late to the party as usual.
Is there a solution to the HD2 and Flash problem?
If I use the browser included in CM7, I get a prompt to update my flash player. Same goes for Dolphin Mini. But, when I attempt to get the flash player from the Play store, the app is incompatibe with the device, so I can't download it.
Thanks.
Adobe Flash Player, if I remember correctly, is suppose to be compatible with Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, and ICS. Now Froyo probably is only compatible with a little older version like Adobe Flash player 9 or 10 not sure exactly. But all you should have to do is download it from the Play Store. That is sort of odd it is giving you trouble. What is the exact software specs you have right now with the Android ROM or SD build you are using, oh andolease specify if it is NAND or SD card.
Edit: Also Adobe Flash Player is suppose to work with the defualt Android browser.
I am using CyanogenMod 7.2 HTC Leo 030812 on the SD card, Android version 2.3.7
When I try to use the browser that is part of CM7.2, I get a message to update Flash. Clicking the link takes me to the Play Store, and then I get a message that it is not compatible with my device.
The same thing happens if I try to use Dolphin Mini- I get a message to update the Flash Plugin, I end up at the Play Store with the same message- incompatible device.
I have been able to update Flash on my HTC Amaze without issue at the Play Store.
When I check "My Devices" from my PC at the Play Store, HTC HD2 shows up, but because it never ran Android natively, is this preventing a download?
Edit: Flash on the Amaze, version 11.1.111.8, is in the internal memory and I can't send it to the SD card... there goes that idea.
Try going to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications. Find the Play Store and click on it, then click on clear data. This should solve your problem.
I have tried searching for "adobe" and "adobe flash" at the Play Store, and I'll be damned if it comes up. I get >6k results, but only can scroll through a screen of them...
Now, it seems that the radio connection is spotty. The cellular and WiFi icons go from green to white, but I seem to have no signal. I have 2.15.50.14 listed in Baseband... The HD2 is about 2' from the wireless router.
When this thing works, it is nice.
Edit: I did follow the instructions above.
I just went to the Play Store from this PC, and Adobe Flash Player shows up first in a search. It is listed as already installed for the HTC Amaze and incompatible for the HD2. Maybe Flash does not show up in a search from the HD2 because it is coming up incompatible...
You can download from google play store

How?
Adobe Flash does not show up in a Play Store search using the HD2, the only Adobe product that shows up is Air. There are >1k search results that I can't seem to access from the phone.
Adobe Flash DOES show up in a Play Store search using my HTC Amaze. This app is in the phone memory, and if it is possible to get it out, I do not know how to do so.
Adobe Flash also shows up in a Play Store search from my home Windows PC, and it shows up as "already installed" and "not compatible with some of your devices". There is no download or send to link for the HTC HD2.
Attempting a Flash update using an Adobe link while using the HTC HD2 also gives a "not compatibe" message after I am redirected to the Play Store.
So, if it can be downloaded using the HD2 or saved to PC memory and put on an SD card and rooted into the phone somehow, please enlighten me.
I would suggest you Google Adobe Flash Player apk download andyou should've able to find some place to download the apk file and then install it.
Cool, that did the trick.

i believe it hit the market place recently, but it is only for 2.2
there is a workaround supposedly that allows you to download a recompiled apk and have it overwrite the flash lite that is on the evo.
http://www.machackpc.com/featured/how-to-get-flash-10-1-on-htc-evo-4g-without-installing-froyo/
i have tried this though, and it does not work. it installs fine, overwrites, and upon visiting youtube via opera browser, it even asks if i want to view the content with "htc flash player" but when the player opens, the videos will not play
figured i'd give anyone looking to try it the heads up.
I have an HTC Wildfire with Froyo 2.2.1 factory. It did not come with Android Market.
I tried to install the following files that I found linked on XDA but they are force closing:
vending2.2.11-signed
Vending_original_froyo_1.82
com.android.vending_2.2.6
I just found a 2.2.7 and I will try that but does anyone know what I can do?
no root no market
As far as I know, you can not install market without root access. And factory 2.2.1 can not be rooted as of this moment. But soon hopefully we will have root thanks to alpharev devs.
Good luck.
You can install apks without root by using HTC Sync. I put Skype, eBuddy, etc on but I cannot seem to find the right vending.apk that won't keep crashing.

Its really painful to have an android phone without market app. The stock froyo wildfire doesn't even have a file manager. Just after the hard reset, everytime i had to download the "X-plore" file manager from market to access the sd card contents (and even to start installing apk files.)
Ok. U must have added a gmail account to ur wildfire. If not do it. I think in this way if ur phone can be registered on google, then u might have option to remote install apps from PC android market (or) even the android market from your stock browser of wildfire which has htc flash lite [using the same gmail account that is attached to phone]. From browser, just after clicking on the install option, then u will see device compatibility. Here if u can see "wildfire" then it is possible. Just after confirming the installation, ur wildfire starts downloading the requested application (provided wildfire should be connected to internet). If download doesn't start, i think this remote installation requires market application on phone.

APP BRAIN APP MARKET ACCESS:
Ok..... Irrespective of the above android market, u can access the app brain app market and install apps from it. This one also can be accessed from a browser for remote app installation. As the present "app brain" and "fast web installer" apps are available for free in market, im attaching those things for u.
--- First install the below attached AppBrain_App_Market_v6.02.apk file. Then install the below attached Fast_Web_Installer_v2.11.apk" file. Then open the app brain and sign in with appropriate account. Then sync the apps on your phone. Then go to its settings and enable fast web installer. That's all. Now u will have the direct install option from the "app brain" app or from the browser of app brain website.
And one more thing for u. I have extracted "vending.apk" from the system folders of my same stock 2.2.1 wildfire. When opened it replaces the market app on my wildfire.
So it might install the google market app on ur wildfire. Also attaching that file.
Yes you can install apks without root. But you can't install market (vending apk) without root. It is a system file. atleast I could not
I thought for appbrain to work properly you still need market installed on your device. I don't think simply installing vending apk would work. You will get force closes. But you can still try. If you can't get it to work, you can use slideme . You can get it from www.slideme.org. It does not have as many apps as market does but it is a start.
Good luck,

Thanks for the help all.
I will try the extracted Vending apk. If that fails I will go the appBrain route. I did install appBrain but uninstalled it without trying anything. I was committed to getting Market.
It does really suck that they would not give you a way to get Market if your phone did not come with it.

Maybe u r right. Maybe the enabling of fast web installer needs Android market licence agreement. But I think its hard to say these things.
To check this, phone needs to be formatted to remove the google/market account. It will try to check it when I get time.
Hope the vending.apk works

As a last resort you can flash an official WWE rom which has market in it. I believe this can be done with a goldcard.

Ok, i checked some things. I may be wrong, and pls correct me if so.
-- Installation from pc android market is the same as fast web installer. So, it will be like either both work or both doesn't work.
-- I freshly formatted the phone and added the gmail account. But didn't open the market app. That means i didn't accepted the android market terms of service. I think this case is similar to the absence of market application in phone. Now i opened the pc android market and sign in with the same gmail account. I tried to install an app, but the device is not listed in compatibility list. Same with the app brain here. App brain gets installed but fast web installer cannot be enabled.
-- Then i opened the android market and accepted the terms of service. Now i can install apps from pc android market. Also here the fast web installer of app brain can be enabled. Everything works fine.
-- Then what i did is , go to the settings/ applications/manage applications/ , then opened market and uninstalled updates. Also cleared the data. This makes the android market become stock one again. Now when opened, it again asks for terms of service. Now without accepting the terms of service, i tried to install apps from pc android market. And it worked. Also the app brain fast web installation works here.
-- If i again format the device, same thing will be repeated again. I need to accept the terms of service for only the first time to make the fast web install work.
-- And if we change the sim card, we need to re-enter the password of the gmail account again. And till that, fast web installation will not work.
I don't know how to explain these, but maybe google will be having details regarding our phone format.

What i said in post #4 might not work.
And u said u installed apps with HTC sync. Is that ur carrier disabled the installation from unknown sources. If it is the case, OMG u really need a WWE RUU. If its not the case, maybe vending.apk or the WWE RUU solves ur problem.
If ur hboot is 1.01.0002 , then u can go with this process to flash a WWE RUU

I will check hboot. I did try reflashing it with some RUUs and it told me version mismatch, but that RUU had a lower version number.
This is an unlocked phone bought from online. I can install from unknown sources, I just can't seem to install the Vending.apk because they force close.
It would force close when I launch.
Then I try again and it would let me in.
Then it would force close when I search
Then it would let me back in and let me search
Then it would force close when I try to install an app. That is as far as it will go as it will force close everytime I try to install an app.
I will try all this stuff when I get the chance. Right now I am using my Moto Defy which I wish would get Froyo
You get version number error because the firmware on your phone is newer. But If you create a gold card and install the ruu it should work. Just search for gold card tool from klush( I hope I did not misspell it). It is very easy to do.
Then you should be able to flash any official ruu.

Sorry, appbrain just won't work if you don't have the market installed, as AppBrain still lets the market handle all app downloads.
may be u can use 1mobile market beside android market.because it almost cover all application in android market.the good news is yo don't need to register anything to download and install in your wildfire

trying to get winamp installed in my rooted device - I don't live in the States so amazon store wont work and doesn't show up on android marketplace. any ideas?? tried, side loading from couple of downloads from the net but the installer wont finish.
Here is the .apk right from the Market, try that out.
Thanks for the apk - I can download and run the installer but it returns back with an message that the application was not installed.
I had the same problem with Winamp, but I managed to install it.
You can check the following thread for the solution:

If you cant get winamp to run, try poweramp
its by far the best music player for android
winamp is really lacking on android imo
Sorry for the total noob question, but here goes. I have rooted my NST, using the following instructions: http://tinymicros.com/wiki/NOOK_Simple_Touch_%28NST%29_Rooting_For_Practiscore Forgive the external link, I just wanted to be clear on where I am at.
If this isn't acceptable, apparently the source of the info is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346748 and I used the "the 'Normal + Xorzone's mods + adb Wifi' build "
Practiscore works flawlessly and my nook does what I need it to do. Now I have been thinking that it would be cool to be able to surf the web or at least be able to use the internet over wifi to load apps without having to load it on the SD card manually.
Right now, when I open the browser, it will actually open www.google.com when I set it to the home page but then crash whenever I try to do anything - even just clicking on the search box. The fact that it will actually open google, tells me my connection is working, but either the root process broke the browser, or something else is wrong. I can also open the market and get it to show me some apps, but it won't let me search or surf to any app. Searching just hangs and displays nothing.
I've tried searching but I haven't had any luck in picking the proper search terms to get an answer, and for some reason there is a script running wild on this page that refreshes it every 2 seconds interrupting what I am doing. That problem is probably on my PC, but firefox is what I have.
Ok, I got some things to install by d/l'ing the APK's directly to the SD card on a PC. I still haven't gotten the app store to work, or google.
The app store search will not work on your nook touch, the only way to install apps are either sideloading them or installing them wirelessly using google play on your computer.
You may want to use Opera Mobile instead of the basic browser, it would be easier than getting the stock one working.

Ok, this thing is just not working, everything I try in the market or using the browser just crashes. I downloaded the opera mini, but I didn't get an apk, so I have no idea how to install the extracted files. Most of the apk's I have found to put on here don't work either and just crash. I cant even get hangman or a crossword to load for pete's sake...
Did you root it to run Practiscore on?
If not, I'd suggest restoring your backup, upgrading to 1.2.1 firmware, then using NookManager with NTGAppsAttack (see the Nook Touch Android Development Forum here on xda). That worked just fine for me. But I don't need to run Practiscore.

Yes, the link in the OP was what I used.
1. NTGAppsAttack - working google play
2. use SeachMarket.apk to look for APK's in Google play.

3. Use Opera Mobile instead of Mini.
4. To manually install .apk (without using ADB)
- put it on your uSD.
- open it using Relaunch or any other file browser that you use.

Seems to work fine for me. Have you turned on flash in the web content setting in Dolphin?
Flash works fine with Firefox, if you want to use Dolphin , you need to also install the Jetpack and a hacked version of Flash not just the regular one from Flash Archive.
Just google 'Dolphin hack flash'
Yes I have flash turned on in dolphin. On demand, always on. Still nothing. I try to down load the dolphin flash hack and this is what I get on my phone and pc.

Is it the same with your pc? Judging from the screenshot you posted and your statement that it also happens in your pc may mean that you were the one who violated Google's terms of service. Flash will work on any pc (version-specific disregarded). Maybe you should try to contact Google and let them explain to you the reason behind it.
Here is a dropbox link from DF

If it still doesnt work, make sure you uninstall all flash then re-install.
Also, Dolphin website has it too.

If u use one of them stop them and restore default then delete them
