Hi,
I have correctly install Multiroms with this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472295&highlight=ubuntu+firefox
Then i have follow the instruction for installing FF OS (i have the built of 29/10/2013 for 1.3 version).
I can boot Firefox OS but i have display problems:
- when i click on "Games" folder on home, i go on marketplace but i cant install any app (i click on "free" button, then on "install" in the popin, then there is icon loading, and the "free" button appear again and i dont think its installed)
- the police is too big and write on text of others icons on the right.
1) Is there a Firefox OS bug on nexus?
2) I have not clean any cache. Is there some to do in TWRP?
METHOD TO INSTALL ADOBE FLASH 11.1.115.81 FOR ANDROID ON KITKAT
TESTED WITH ROOTED & UNLOCKED SPRINT HTC ONE M8 RUNNING 4.4.X
As most of us know, Google officially dropped support for the Android version of Adobe Flash with Jellybean and later. Jellybean (4.1.X - 4.3.X), however, still had whatever API/framework that Flash required to run, so users could install the ICS (4.0.X) version of Flash without any issues. But now with KitKat, those critical APIs/framework have been removed or changed, making Flash act super glitchy, crash, or simply not work.
There was a potential fix created back in 2013, but the download to the special Flash installer was hosted on Google Drive, and ended up being removed by Google.
THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY "HACKED", "MODIFIED", OR "PATCHED" FLASH INSTALLS.
Prerequisites:
1. An Android device running KitKat
2. An internet connection
3. The Android version of Firefox (preferably 29 or newer)
DISCLAIMER: This method has been tested on a ROOTED & UNLOCKED Sprint HTC One M8 running Android 4.4.X KitKat with HTC Software Version 1.54.654.15+.
Step 1: Ensure that any and all existing Flash components are uninstalled. You can do this by installing any version of Flash for ICS and then performing a complete uninstall on it with a tool like Titanium Backup.
Step 2: Download & install the latest version of Firefox for Android (see technical information). If you already have it, then you rock.
Step 3: Download the two Flash installation packages. Don't run them yet. It is critical that both of these be installed in a SPECIFIC ORDER. For now, just download both packages.
-> Direct Download from Adobe: PRE ICS APIS AND RUNTIME & ICS RUNTIME
-> (mirror) ZIP Archive Containing Both Files: Download from Dropbox or Download from MediaFire
Step 4: If you've downloaded the ZIP archive, extract the files to some location on your computer. Move the installers to your Android device.
Step 5: Run the installer for the install_flash_player_pre_ics.apk FIRST.
Step 6: Run the installer for the install_flash_player_ics.apk SECOND. The APK installer should prompt you to update the existing Flash player installed. If it does not declare the installation as an update, then your device did not completely register the pre-ICS installer. If this occurs, then you will most likely be unable to successfully complete the installation.
Step 7: Launch Firefox. If you're a first-time user, I suggest you get customize Firefox to your liking first, since its the only browser you can use if you're a mobile Flash enthusiast. (Yes, I know there's a possible Flash fix with the Dolphin browser, but Dolphin lacks a lot of the functionality and performance that Firefox has. Plus, I'm a big-time Firefox fan.)
Step 8: Once you're familiar with Firefox, go to the Display settings submenu (3-Dot Menu Dropdown -> Settings -> Display).
Step 9: Scroll down to the list where "Plugins" is located (under "Advanced"). Ensure that it's is set to enabled. If it's grayed out, just load a webpage and return to the display settings page.
Now you're done!
To use Flash, go to any webpage with Flash content and it will load automatically. Continue reading below for more information like why this install method works and how Flash will perform.
About the two Flash installers:
The pre-ICS installer is for Android 2.x and 3.x. As far as I know, neither of those versions of Android had the built-in APIs/framework that Flash uses when running on ICS and Jellybean - which means that the pre-ICS installer must include those APIs or an equivalent substitute. If you were to install just the pre-ICS version on your KitKat device, you could technically use Flash, but it would be highly unstable and buggy (as I have observed). Loading Flash content would result in the swf flickering black for a few seconds before Firefox crashes. It seems that the ICS installer simply adds compatibility/stability for Android 4.x.x, rather than completely replacing its pre-ICS runtime. On the other hand, if you were to just install the ICS version, Flash simply wont run. Firefox will load the content region, but it will remain white or black.
Browser tests:
I have tested this method on several web browsers:
-> Stock HTC Browser [✘]-- registers that Flash is installed (it gives an option to enable/disable it), but doesn't actually load Flash content.
-> HTC Internet [✘] (the new version that's available from the play store) -- does not acknowledge the Flash install, but will display swfs as "missing required plugin"
-> Chrome [✘] -- does not even acknowledge that Flash is installed and gives no option to enable/disable it (shows how Google doesn't want Android users running Flash)
-> Firefox [✔] -- runs Flash smoothly (more info on Firefox Flash performance specs below)
-> Dolphin [✘] -- says "Flash Player is incompatible" and gives a download link to a hacked Flash installer that *only* works with Dolphin.
I've also have tested this method on several types of content:
-> Games -- Flash games run fine, but are subject to stuttering and lag depending on how intense the graphics are. Smartphone processors are pitiful compared to desktop CPUs, and Flash for Android has no Stage3D support.
-> Video players -- Flash video players cache and play their content perfectly (tested with desktop YouTube, desktop Dailymotion, and JWplayer, among others)
-> Other things -- everything I've tested ran fine; the only swf that didn't work was extremely large and probably exceeded Flash's/Firefox's RAM allocation or made use of 11.2+ Flash APIs.
When using Firefox, the following things perform well:
-> Quality -- equivalent to Flash for your PC. As far as I can tell, Flash completely abstracts itself from the platform it runs on (PC, mac, Android, etc).
-> Speed -- the HTC One M8 has a high performing CPU and GPU, so it can handle most swfs rather well. Ultimately, though, this depends on the amount of objects being rendered per frame and how detailed they are. MSAA on bitmaps (Right-click swf -> set Quality = high) and tessellation of complex vector shapes are big FPS killers.
However, there are some issues:
-> Interactivity -- still has the double-press glitch. This is a glitch where when you tap on the swf, it registers two clicks - one for when your finger hits the screen, and one for when it leaves. This glitch came up with Jellybean, and I first noticed it on my HTC Evo 4G LTE (running Android 4.1.1). Pressing and holding for a second or two and then lifting your finger seems to sometimes work as a single click.
-> Random freezes -- every now and then, the swf will seem to visually "freeze", even though everything is still running in the background. Simply scrolling up/down fixes this issue and forces Firefox to re-present the swf. These presenting desyncs seem most common when the entire screen updates, which may indicate they are tied to the performance of your phone's CPU/GPU.
-> Invisible freezes -- sometimes if you open a new tab to a webpage that has a swf in it, the swf will start to run in the background and Firefox. Setting plugins to "Tap to Play" fixes this.
Enjoy Flash!
Sir, if I ever meet you, I'll buy you a beer. Goddamn heavy thanks
Hmmm, that's weird, ive installed firefox on gpe and my dads sense 4.4.4 and 4.4.3, installed flash player from the archive, and they both run fine witout the ics pre update, I do get the white base for a second but works fine. I will however install the pre update files and do it again anyway.
OMG - flash works
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
For two years Firefox on my Transformer Prime has crash every single time I attempted to play a flash video of any sort. I downloaded the two installers. Ran them as you described AND flash now plays with no problems in Firefox. Yay!

Works for my unrooted stock HTC M8! :good:
But when I long press, Firefox selects text instead of acting as a single press. Any way around that?

Yeah, long pressing a flash content area will make Firefox attempt to select it as text, though there doesn't seem to be any way around that right now within Firefox. There are a couple apps out there that allow you to emulate desktop mice clicks, so maybe you could use on of the those.
Hope that helps!
Thanks for this nice tutorial. I'm currently installing Flash on my HTC One M7 running Android 4.4.3 (ARHD 84.0).

Uhm.... but why? I already posted 3 methods on how to do this.
I patched CoC myself, but while it removes the sign-in, it still doesn't let you sync with your current iOS/Android town. So what was the point of patching it? Just so it doesn't say you can't sign in when you click the button?

There's two way to login on CoC, Google or Facebook. We have removed the google option and just using facebook. I'm trying to "How to syncs between device?" On another device also connected to same facebook account.
When I'm wrong. Just correct me or make it work together.
I'm also working to try make implementation Google Service on Lumia.
Logging onto Facebook tells me the FB acct is already linked to a CoC acct and asks if I want to link it to this town instead. But at any rate, the Google Sign In error doesn't inhibit the ability to play at all, unless I'm missing something.
Anyone get snapchat to work yet?
Hello,
I tested your apk file as I was having issue with mine (get using apk extractor on my android device).
I have the same : missing textures on trees, buildings, etc...see screenshot attached
Also connecting Facebook account is not getting saved games : it's just here for finding friends... see attached image, it's just asking you if you wants to link this game to your account.
If I find a way to get back saved games, I will post here
About texture missing, any idea?

Hi Lohtse,
This device is unique I spend days wake up without sleep to solve the problem of the apps and I realize something important
The problem is bad target system management by Microsoft development tools
Microsoft store is so dumb there is many helpful app but it want appear just by search
Some of the is apps "on papers" not match with your device system version but in reality you can install it and it will work
Now let me tell you it's not totally bad device if you get the exact apps on it, it will be almost like your laptop with many helpful staff
First
Check the latest updates and then you have to unlock the system so you can do some enhancements like:
Increasing Paging files from 256MB to 1GB
Transfer files via SFTP without using the USB cable
Uninstall official apps preinstalled like (Photos, Calculator..etc) -> you need this
And more..
Second
here list of apps you might have some of it but with old version:
Before you start just install the official AppInstaller to be able to install apps directly from the phone without alternative tool
Get it from here:

About Dual Boot & Windows 10 ARM
You know.. I broke my phone system more than 5 times one of them it was completely dead but I was able to recover it again,
the point is if you need to try go ahead it's good to see full windows run on a phone and able to run x86 apps as well.
But
Here is few points why it's not very important
Your mobile internal storage will be filled by 70% because of the windows partition
You need a usable phone to call and send messages, it's not comfortable to switch the boot each time
Windows 10 Mobile is almost the same base of the normal Windows it just Microsoft makes it useless but I hope someone will be able to install a service to run windows apps inside it as I discovered in Windows 10 ARM, I was surprised that some of x86 apps works very well.
If you faced any problem during the installation or you need any assist let me know.
Hi
WOW excellent response thank you so much for taking the time to reply as you have..
Could you possible explain this a little further
First

Update
If you got a new phone usually many updates need to be installed, this will fix many problems and increase the performance.
Go to "Settings"
Update & Security
Check for update / Windows Update
if there is any update it will appear or you will see a message "Your device is up to date"
If the system need updates this will take some time, and it might be there is many update not only one so keep try until you get "Your device is up to date"
Unlock
Unlocking the system is based on your needs.
If you are using the phone for regular use you may keep it as it is.
What I was meaning with
Increasing Paging: Paging files will help to handle more applications in the background
SFTP: to transfer the data via wireless but it's totally optional you can still use the cable
Uninstall apps
If you tried to install the new version of i.e."Photos" it will not work because it's already installed.
so the solution is to remove the current app, but by default windows will not allow you to do that form the settings because it's built in.
As solution you can use "Interop Tools" by gus33000
Available Here:
Release Interop Tools v1 Version 2.1.7.0 (Legacy) · gus33000/InteropTools
This is the latest release of Interop Tools from its Version 1 source with minor updates.
github.com
More details: Interop Tools v1 Version 2.1.7.0
Install / Sideload it (Check the guide below)
And go to "General"
Then Select "Applications"
Then Navigate to "Package List"
Search for the app you need to remove it.
You will see many packages related to the same app
In the bottom actions bar there is "4 lines" icon click on it to activate it.
Now select the packages you need to remove.
Click on the trash icon and wait until the app removed
Go to main screen to check if the app removed
If it's remove you can now install the new version
Note: I'm not sure if these steps works without unlocking I didn't tried before unlock, just try before to unlock it might work.
Install apps
Now Download the apps form the links and save them in custom folder.
Go to your device Settings
Select "Update & Security"
Select "For Developers"
Select "Developer Mode"
Activate "Turn on remote diagnostics"
Activate "Authentication"
Using your computer: open the browser and enter the link that appeared in the developer page in your phone
if you got security warning message ignore it and continue (it's normal)
On your phone press "Pair" Button you will see pin code
Enter this pin code in your browser page and click "Submit"
Now you can install the app called "AppInstaller" using the web page
Once you able to install "AppInstaller" you can almost install the other apps from you mobile directly.
Note your device and computer need to be on the same network
OSM Mapping
to be honest I never used it before so I will do some search about it.
If I got anything new will let you know.
I wish most of the descriptions is clear, if you need extra details please let me know.

I thought I had read somewhere that you can control how the flash functions(eg if all three flashes ar used or just one or two of them) I even thought I saw the setting.. But for the life of me I can't find out how to achieve this... Could someone point me in the right direction!!!!

As solution you can use "Introp Tools"
Available in store: microsoft.com/en-us/p/interop-tools-preview/9ntgwlc0d3cs

This version requires downloading the extensions after logging in to insidewindows.net because there is no General - Applications option in the menu by default.
Have you tried the open source Interop Tools v1 Version 2.1.7.0 made by @gus33000?

You right I thought the version in the store same as the one I already have, I update the post with the latest version.
Many thanks for your notice.

Increase the paging file (required unlocked device):
Open Interop Tools
Go to "Registry"
Select "Registry browser"
Select "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM)"
Select "System"
Select "CurrentControlSet"
Select "Control"
Select "Session Manager"
Select "Memory Management"
Select "Paging File"
Now In "Registry Value Data" Change The numbers from 256 to 1024
The final value will be "u:\pagefiles.sys 1024 1024"
Click on the "right icon at the bottom" to save the result
To check if the result saved just reopen the "Paging File" again, If the result back to the original "256" maybe your device is not unlocked yet.
Reboot the device to apply the changes.
Change Screen timeout:
Open Interop Tools
Go to "Registry"
Select "Registry browser"
Select "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM)"
Select "Software"
Select "Microsoft"
Select "Settings"
Select "Lock"
Select "DisableNever"
Set "Registry Value Data" to 0
Then go to settings and check "Never" will be available now with some extra values.

To be able to edit some of the protected registry values you need to do "Interop Unlock"
"Interop Unlock" will allow you to do almost everything you need.
Don't activate "Full Filesystem Access" In "Unlock" -> "Interop Unlock" it will not work with Lumia 950/XL and it might affect on the usb connection.
If you didn't find a clear guide for "Interop Unlock" let me know I will write a full guide based on my experiment because some of the details online line is very clear.

Thank you for that information worked a treat.
I have read that the FM radio is not activated on the 950xl, is this correct is so how do I reactivate it?
also is there away to have a bigger tile other than the three choices we have?

The radio is working by default, try this app (almost the best you could find)
Radio FM Phone
Sadly the tiles sizes are fixed as I know, if you want to add some design to the start page you can use this app
Group Tiles
and this app if you want to add custom tiles based on your needs
edgeTile
Check the attached image to see how I did some titles to organize the start page.

Thank you for that... and radio works great... Have to say am loving the 950xl.... only thing I am really missing is a good off route navigation/mapping app if I could find a good one then everything would be nearly perfect.
also is there away to install the original lumia camera app so we can get flash control(number of flashes used ) back?
finally how do I gain full access to the file system on the device???
does any one have the file for this
Lumia Cinemagraph (Official Store)
Cool app you can take photo and make part of it alive with repeated motion, just try it
microsoft.com/en-us/p/lumia-cinemagraph/9wzdncrfhx4d
will not let me download it from store to device as says not compatible with this device

It should work, ignore the compatible message just check the following:
the apps updated including "Microsoft Store" from "Menu" -> "Donwloads and updates"
there is no remaining system updates "Settings" -> "Windows update"
check if there is a "Get" button sometimes it's appear even of there is a compatibility message, click on the button if you found it.
If nothing above worked do the following:
Go to your PC
Be sure you are using the same email/account in both "Phone/PC"
Open the browser and be sure you are logged to your account/email
Open the link of the app
click on "Get"
a message will appear "you own this app"
once you get this message go back to your phone
Open Microsoft store -> Menu
Select "My Library"
Check if the app is there (you can sort the library by name which is better)
Click "Install" behind the app icon
The problem is some of the apps does not appear in Phone store but it will appear in PC store
so this trick will help you to get many apps in the same way,
but I think it will work only with the browser not the desktop app.

As per my experiments, gain the full access to the file system is not a big deal.
the files are protected anyway and some of the important folders assigned to custom users you can't have access, even if you was able to force replace the ownership of the folder and open it.. it will cause some issues with the system.
if you have something really important in the future it's better to use Mass Storage Mode, but accessing the file system while windows is running almost useless.
just don't use the feature in "Interop Tools" which called "Full Filesystem Access" I tried it before and it caused a problem with the connection with the computer I wasn't able to access the storage
