Help UPDATE: Temp Adobe Flash workaround (WAS: Flash not enabled on Xoom at launch).

[FragDroidX]

Was just about to post this. The question is do you need the update to 3.0.1 for it to work?

 

[jfoey22]

I don't have it and it works. Guessing that means no

 

[clb2196]

Woohoo! Sadly, playon looks like crap booooo.

 

[clb2196]

Same here, I'm not updated, and it works for me. Playon works now, tho the quality is crap.

 

[melantus]

Is it just me or does 10.2 suck? I'm running 3.0 maybe thats why, but holy crap this runs worse than 10.1 on my OG droid. Choppy, and if there's flash it takes forever to actually appear on screen. I've got great internet too so I know it's not my connection.

 

[clb2196]

Same here, but I'm thinkng maybe cause I'm *not* updated. Tried netflix instead f hulu on play on and its actually not bad.

 

[Plakius]

I found this and going to give it a try Flash for your Xoom! will report back

Tried it out it works!

I haven't received the OTA yet can i still aply Flash 10.2 or should I wait?

Never mind, I see that you don't. I had to reboot after install to get it to work. It still doesn't work well. HULU doesn't work, it says it's not supported by this platform. ESPN3 tries to load but is so choppy it's impossible to watch or follow. The only site that worked smoothly that I've found is motorola.com/xoom. Maybe once I get the OTA it will make a difference.

Leaked Flash 10.2 - Come and Get It Get it while it's hot....Flash 10.2 yes it does work

Do not need the update to download. It works perfect.

I have mine rooted and did a manual update .. I figure I would flash it when I send it into Moto for the 4g upgrade .. They tell you how to lock it up and all on their site.

If you root your xoom with help from @Koush (My Brain Hurts: Motorola XOOM Rooted)

Then go to Jrummy16's manual update (App to update xoom for root - xda-developers)

Then get the flash apk (Flash for your Xoom!)


Here at DoidLife (How to: Re-lock the Motorola XOOM Bootloader to Receive Updates (Updated) - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog) you can learn how to relock it up

I'm too impatient to wait .. That's why I got into Android .. If I wanted to wait until official updates I would be on iOs

Not true for me. Works half way. Hulu doesn't work, Netflix doesn't work, ESPN3 doesn't work. Youtube in Facebook does work but that's about it.

 

[tjreishus]

I tried to download. End up with endless popups and facebook invites.

 

[jroth21]

espn3 works for me

 

[NTexican]

Downloaded from mydroidworld and it's working great. Amazon Instant Video works. Yahoo works. Google Video works. Hulu says not optimized for device, but ABC.com is perfect.

 

[jhat3k1]

After reading about a flash download....I checked it out...downloaded it..and it works great. I think others have mentioned it, but the mods keep killing the threads.

I have tried Amazon video on demand and it works great. If there are any sites you want me to try...let me know.

Netflix isn't going to work. The web based streaming uses Microsoft silverlight not Flash. I'm not sure what Hulu uses.

 

[kennychaffin]

I got the OS update just now. I'm going to wait on the official flash release...

 

[QuickDraw]

I d/l'd the update as well AND flash and everything is working beautifully. Its good to be able to go to my favorite websites that require flash. Thanks for the link to the flash file.

Is this the same as the one coming the 18th? As in should I not worry about installing the one from the app store on Thursday when it comes out?

My concern too (as well as possible virus kinds of things)

 

[rjoudrey]

Does anyone know where the flash settings are?

 

[JediJesus]

From what I can tell its in the browser settings under plugin.

 

[jhat3k1]

yes, I was talking about the threads having to do with flash. Also, my response was totally justified with the way that POS acted by calling me an idiot. He should be banned from the site.

Either way, I am happy to have flash, and all it brings woth it.

 

[marctronixx]

any flash related posts should be combined in this thread. i will update the thread to reflect that there is a temporary flash app that is working until the official releases.

there is no need to start a new thread just to say one has flash installed. lets keep this forum streamlined as much as possible. members, i appreciate your cooperation on this.

It is already posted in XDA forums. I installed it and am using 10.2 on my gTablet and Incredible.
