Root Flash is almost here for Droid!

[G.Armour]

] folks at alldroid have almost got a working rom of desire which has flash 10.1! I'm so excited, check it out.

[WIP] ZeusDroid Desire Rom Updated Mar 8

 

[BiGMERF]

we thought the same thing months ago.....

 

[cred05]

The desire (Sense 2.1) does not have flash 10.1, it has flash lite. I've had the desire ROM on my phone, and its definitely flash lite, only works on certain websites.

 

[G.Armour]

OK, its the same rom ported hacked onto the n1, explain how every other site says it is 10.1. Flash game FarmVille demoed on Nexus One | Crave - CNET. I think its huge news!

 

[vincentp]

Sounds to me like they're trying to pull 10.1 out of it too. Are you sure it's Flash Lite?

 

[G.Armour]

I stand corrected, I think it is flash lite, but it sure looked like a full flash player. But even so, hulu or other flash sites and games on a Droid is still big!

 

[BiGMERF]

i cant wait for it either but with all the time they are taking it better be a perfect version

yea yea i know wishful thinking

 

[vincentp]

I don't care what Flash it is. If it lets me watch Hulu, I'm satisfied.

 

[jnngill]

Flash Lite wont play hulu. You'll still have to wait.

 

[G.Armour]

OK, they have hulu playing on it, so it may be full flash?

 

[jnngill]

Good point. I had Flash Lite on my old touch pro and it wouldn't play hulu.

 

[BiGMERF]

Flash Lite wont play hulu. You'll still have to wait.

i want flash so i can stream netflix!

 

[vincentp]

i want flash so i can stream netflix!

Doesn't Netflix use Silverlight?

 

[Soultics]

Adobe posted that its Flash Lite on the Desire rom, and that it won't be shipping with Flash. I just can't find where I read it, did a lot of browsing this morning.

 

[alostpacket]

Doesn't Netflix use Silverlight?

yes

 

[dmodert66]

I'm afraid even a hacked version of Flash 10.1 won't help me. I want it so Sling can then come out with their client. Until Flash 10.1 hits more phones "Officially", I don't think I will see it any time soon.

 

[DjSmooth]

Just give me Hulu on my Droid and I'm ready to Donate a King's Ransom...Uhh, Ok not that much, but I'm ready.

 

[radikal]

yeah, it plays any video you want from what i understand, and i have heard that its flash 10.1 beta, not a really great working version, but it does work with a lil patience

 

[Timaphillips]

Good God give me flash please! I'm so sick of facebook video links doing nothing.

 

[johnlgalt]

With as long as Adobe has taken to being Flash player to 64bit browsers in Windows, I am not gonna hold my breath on seeing flash on my DROID.

Even if I do see it before the phone gets old, I won't be surprised to see it so chock full of holes that it will allow drive-by exploits of our phones left and right.

Pretty down on Adobe right now - too many fingers in the pie and screwing things up more and more every day....

 

[radikal]

well adobe mobile and adobe pc is probably two divisions, so its hard to say. someone on alldroid told me that this is flash lite 4 which is essentially a beta build of 10.1, i believe

 

[alostpacket]

Why does flash need more than 2GB of memory? pshaw john


The market isn't exactly crying out for x64 support heh, it'd be nice, but c'mon.

 

[johnlgalt]

Right. I counter that with The Smart Phone market isn't exactly crying for Flash support either.

Been running a 64bit OS for 3+ years now, and trust me - we're ***ALL*** clamoring about Flash....

 

[alostpacket]

Aw cmon, the practical difference between 32 bit and 64 bit flash is worlds away from, well, having flash and not having flash.


You may really want 64 bit flash, but there isn't a huge chorus crying out for it.

 

[johnlgalt]

Then you haven't looked around at the Adobe forums, almost every single 64-bit software forums, and other places as well....

Those of us taking the plunge to 64bit, BTW, don't do it solely for access to >4 GB of RAM - there is a lot more to 64bit processing than just the amount of RAM it can access....
