Nice find

 

[somedood81]

The video sucks, but hey, it WORKS.

 

[somedood81]

Report back here what works good and what doesn't.

So far I hooped on justin.tv and saw the flash chatbox pop up, immediately installed the app, didn't try video in the browser. In the JTV player app the video has major artifacting and is only like 5fps, audio is perfect.

 

[mystifire2]

Also you went from mentioning flash player to posting this guide in like 30 seconds lol that was quick

 

[somedood81]

LOL. It was my lightbulb that went off and I wanted the thank yous.

I've helped over a dozen people debrick now, and 1 thanks in the thread, bet you I get more thanks for thinking about the hacked flash player than the 30+ hours I put into figuring out the full service restore... oh well, lol.

I tried some games on miniclip and they worked fine

 

[somedood81]

Really? no artifacting or anything?

Well they were optimized for mobile devices

 

[somedood81]

When watching justin tv the artifacting goes away when the credits come on the screen in black and white... maybe B&W movies will play better.... off to find a flash version of the trailer park boys movie and have a victory smoke...

Trailer park boys, are you Canadian?

 

[reppard]

Hell yes can't wait to get off work and try this out. I would thank you twice if I could!

 

[somedood81]

Nope. Michigander here. It's just one of the best Movies/tv series ever, and I love it.

You should include this in future updates of your ROM

 

[TweeksRevenge]

HA!!!! And to think people said we'd never see flash on the optimus m. This is one hell of a find. Thank you very much!

I've found that the performance governor helps out alot...but I wouldn't recommend Miren Browser for viewing video as its brutally unstable at high speeds.

 

[Sppookkyy]

So just download the apk.? Or both ROM and apk.?

 

[somedood81]

Well you have to be running that rom for it to work. Theoretically I guess it should work on BobZhome's or PLayfulGods roms also but I have not tested.

Anyone running one of those roms report back and I'll update the op.

Well right now i'm running reppards build. The one before he updated the kernel and added the smartass gov. Will it work on that?

 

[Android?What!?]

Wow, flash games online now work. Nice find dood

 

[somedood81]

Give it a shot, I'm running the same build just using the new kernel and gov.

 

[Sppookkyy]

Ok I'll let yu know if it works

 

[jrocivxx]

I mean it works, but very laggy and choppy bit better than nothing thanks!

I would suggest cleaning up before running your browser, I use gemini app manager and stop most of my apps from autorunning but just an app killer will help, this uses a LOT of ram...

 

[sinister_drake]

Downloaded apk, installed, rebooted, works for me, very slow, but works.
