How to play flash content through browser with Optimus T?

dralways · March 4th, 2012, 12:38 AM

I knew before buying this phone that the device wouldn't support flash content from the factory but read that there is some way to play flash content with certain modifications. These modifications are what I'm having trouble finding.

Can anyone play the content on sites like justin.tv or liveleak.com on their Optimus T P509 phones? ::crosses fingers::

There is no workaround AFAIK.

There must be, have you seen this?

[UPDATED APP] FLASH PLAYER 10.2 FOR ARMv6 AND ARMv7 ANDROID PHONES - xda-developers

I tried 10.2 and it doesn't work on my phone. At the bottom of the OP's post in smaller text it says "DOWNLOAD THE OLD 10.1 VERSION (NOT RECOMMENDED) (ONLY INSTALL IF 10.2 DOESN'T WORKS)"
I didn't try 10.1 after getting discouraged from 10.2's failure but I plan to this afternoon.

10.1 didnt work for my Optimus, either

. I'm positive there are members on this board or xda who play flash content in the browsers of their ARMv6 processed droidphones (LG Optimus, Samsung Dart, etc). The problem is, this board is so huge its unlikely said members willl see this thread. If any of you do see this thread, please chime in! Let me know which rom you're using or how you attained the desired end result, I'll even paypal if necessary.

I still love my entry level droid (have had a cheapo free-with-a-plan flip phone all of my mobile life) and probably won't trade/sell for one that plays flash out of the box. I plan on using my computer for any serious web browsing but this feature would just be nice to have on the phone.

If you have a CM-7 ROM installed It might play with Dolphin Browser. It works for some and don't work at all for others.

EDIT: You can use Skyfire and pay a one time fee for the right to play some flash content.

Stock you cannot run Flash via browser your only choice would be Youtube
though you could also try Skyfire browser and purchase the vidio addon.

I'm not only a new member to this forum but also to the android world. I purchased my lg optimus t P 509 last year and had no idea what I was getting myself into smart phones are pretty cool. At the time I had no idea about the Flash Player because it was my first Android after have any flip phone 2 years ago. I was comfortable with watching only videos on YouTube and wanted more like watching games sports videos movies aynd the rest of the stuff that requires Flash Player so I begin the curiosity and how I can have flash player on my lg optimus t but found out that my device isn't compatible with that. I tried several things like going to the Adobe archive files and had no success In downloading the appropriate flash player for my device until last night that I entered this form .. thank you very much mister dralway. Whoever you are your tip was very successful for my achievement. I search and download what you said on March fifth updated apps Flash Player 10.2 for arm v6 and arm v7 and then installed it on my lg p 509 and is now in my phone. I haven't tried it yet but I'm 1 step away from making that happen. I'm surprised you're not able to do that. I'm no I'm no biggie or freak on smart phones or computers i just did exactly what you said and it worked for me thank you once more all I have to do is search for a page right to watch a movie

I download Flash Player 10.2 from Dolphin Browser don't know if that makes any difference from any other browser but that's how I did it I know it's been a while since you've done this to let me know how things are going or how they want thank you once more.
