Help Found:Working Version of Adobe Flash player for Previal!

[Mnemonic]

This is just a repost from a reply I made on another thread. Figured it should get its own post as some people might miss it due to the reinforcement that flash isn't supported on the Prevail... Which it wasn't, until now!

Small update, everything seems to be doing just fine. Other than a few embedded flash websites(smaller sites, all the big ones seem to be working just fine) everything else is working great. Youtube (without the app, just the page in the browser) Newgrounds, miniclip, and a couple other flash heavy sites are working just fine. Also dumped Pandora for the tinyshark app with no problems. Testing a few other "Flash Required" apps at the moment but so far no issues at all.

Now if I could only get Gun Bros to work (I know it won't, just because of hardware restrictions :/)

I've found a hacked version of AFP 10.1 that will install and work on the Prevail.

I've found it works on funnyordie.com and a few other embedded flash movie sites (ones that even skyfire can't play).

Though it does tend to slow down the phone, and its a rather large file 11.1 MB I believe after the install..

Not all video is perfect though, a few sites i've seen where its half grey and the other half has a green tint to it, but its better than nothing.

The flash player for armv6 processors can be found below at this link:

ANDROID CAMPUS: [APP] WORKING ADOBE FLASH PLAYER FOR ARMv6 ( ARM 11) ANDROID MOBILE PHONES


Side note, once downloaded/installed, reboot your phone before you attempt to browse the web.

Hopefully this clears up any didn't work posts.


Also added barcode so you can skip the site. Tends to have quite a few adds.

***EDIT***

Another side note, doesn't seem to work with Opera Mini Browser. It does work with Skyfire and Dolphin HD, along with the stock browser.

I haven't personally tested it on Dolphin HD, but I do know it works with the stock browser and Skyfire. Dolphin HD is said to work with it on the site, I'll do some testing myself and see.

 

[reeshmd23]

ok cool ill try skyfire and let u know can someone post stock browser apk i removed it thanks

 

[Mnemonic]

Confirmed. Dolphin HD will use flash. Was just watching videos on newgrounds.com and you tube without a problem.

Do you need to be rooted?

I don't believe so. But I can't say for certain as I am rooted.

I'd say download it and try. Though I highly doubt it requires root

Doesn't work for me for some reason. It installs fine but its like the browser doesn't detect it. I tried it with Stock, Dolphin HD, Skyfire, Opera Mobile on multiple sites.

I'm on ShabbyMod 0.8 so i dunno if that has anything to do with it.

did you do a reboot? you have to reboot before it works.

 

[mehz]

Yeah. I've tried uninstalling and redownloading it a few times too.

 

[new optimus]

Did not work for me either, though I only tried using xScope browser, I like it and dont use flash sites enough to worry about.

Oh and youtube site works without flash I checked it before installing and after and again after uninstalling.

 

[jjtt]

Yeah. I've tried uninstalling and redownloading it a few times too.

You know what, I tried it out myself, and it does not work for me either. I tried the stock browser, and skyfire, and I am still using the stock rom by the way. Installed fine, just doesnt work.

 

[xtronwest]

Works Great Thanks

 

[jjtt]

For the two guys that actually have this working, are you using shabbymod by any chance?

Stock EE14 with bloatware removed. Working great.

I'm able to use Flash required apps now. Using Tinyshark and tested out some the flash format players.

Have you rebooted after you installed?

What sites are you trying?

Hey Mnemonic, thats great that you got it working! I tried the stock, and skyfire browser, but its like its not recognizing I have flash installed. Let me ask you, when you goto websites that have flash ads, can you see them? do they look like it does on the desktop?

 

[Tommy78]

Works fine, rooted on stock browser.

Normally it shows up with a little green arrow and I have to press it in order for it to load it. By default flash will not load everything on the screen to save on bandwidth and such, at least with this version from what I've read about 10.1.

When you go to a site do you see white boxes with the blue square and a"?" or something else? The blue square is normally flash support not found, anything else, try clicking on it and see if it loads.

I'll post screen shots when I get home.

 

[Shabbypenguin]

can i get a couple people with shabbymod to check this out.. i dont have enough info to tell if its one of teh tweaks i did that is blocking it, user error, or what...

 

[reeshmd23]

i have been trying with shabby mod .08 slim with no luck but i need thestock browser to try i deleted it. i have tried dolphin, opera regular, and skyfire, i get video on skyfire but through there video player which i dont think count correct? can someone link the stock browser apk and a link to test flash and ill keep playing and post my findings. thanks


Can everyone that has flash working put what rom if any there on which browser and what settings in browser and what sites its working on so we can figure this out

I am on xScope browser which says it has support for flash, it is set for "on demand" when I try to view flash I get the little lego like blue square.
I didnt bother with any other browsers because I dont use flash enough.

 

[Tommy78]

I'm on stock froyo with the stock browser and am rooted (not sure if rooted matters). I did find a few sites where the video looked like it had a line through it and half of the screen was green and a few sites just showed a black screen with no video, but if I were to just randomly load youtube on the browser, (not the youtube app) the videos work fine. The videos that didn't work were rare and were from sites that had content that was not the greatest.

 

[jjtt]

Shabby, This was just an idea, but I was using the build prop from your mod, maybe that has something to do with it not enabling flash? Would that make a difference?
