Flash Player 10.1 for Froyo (CM6)

Yeah, I think the hardware specifications of the Sprint HTC Hero are well below what is required for Adobe Flash 10.1, especially in the CPU and GPU department. However, what about Flash Lite?

Flash Lite runs well on my stock Android 2.1 Sprint HTC Hero. I know it is Flash Lite 3.1. Is there any chance we will ever see Flash Lite 4.0? Flash Lite 4.0 is supposed to be fairly close to Flash 10.1 in terms of compatibility and usability. Is it possible we will see an .apk file that we can install over Flash Lite 3.1? On another note, is it possible to add Flash Lite 3.1 to the browser in CyanogenMod 6 for the Sprint HTC Hero?

you have any links for flash 10, or even flash lite

Yeah, I am looking for a Flash Lite .apk too because I would like SOME Flash content available if I root and flash to CyanogenMod 6. My friend's Sprint HTC Hero has that now and it has no Flash support at all.

That is why I was wondering if Flash Lite would even be compatible with the Android 2.2 Internet browser that is part of CyanogenMod 6. If anyone has an ideas let us know.

You know, now that you mention that, I remember asking my friend with his own Sprint HTC Hero, if he had tried to install Flash 10.1 and he reported the same issue when he did. It would just close his browser every time it was starting up.

Skyfire will show Flash but that is because it is all server side encoding and decoding and whatnot. Your handset is not actually running the Flash code natively with Skyfire.
