Grr. Doesn't seem to matter what I do, I can't get Flash to work. This is getting most annoying.

What exactly have you done?  
I'm not really sure what can go wrong installing flash?...

I flashed the latest Modaco ROM and, to be honest, didn't try out a Flash site at that point to see if it was working. Like a wally, before reading any more of the forum, I applied the Market update for Flash that the Vega notified me of. Certainly no Flash working now!

I've tried running the .apk in Shuttle_priv and downloading the updated, optimised versions highlighted in this thread and running those. Still no joy, even after reboots. The only remaining option I can think of is to re-flash the ROM from scratch (and if that doesn't work, try a wipe and re-flash).

So, to be honest, I perhaps shouldn't whinge until I've done the re-flash. I was just hoping one of the fixes outlined here would do the job!

Completely uninstall any flash you have from the market.

Download the file from here and push it to the place that is said, then use a file manager to find it and click then install like any normal app.

That sounds like a plan! Haven't got it with me now, but I'll try as soon as I can.

Thanks for the advice.

I just tried the NI Adam browser - was OK but decided to go back to stock.  Have done that OK and rebooted.

When I access (for example) the BBC Sport site which has a video window on it the browser closes.  I've tried iPlayer and it works fine.

What's going on?

Flash support on the Vega seems a little strange. Strange in the way it's installed and strange in itself.

Upgrading or updating seems to occasionally break Flash support in the browser, as does installing an updated version from the Market (the Vega seems to have an accelerated version specifically for the Tegra hardware).

If Flash has stopped working on your machine, the fix is super easy!

Simply browse in iFileManager on the device to /system/etc/shuttle_priv and click on the APK file to install.

DONE!

Super smooth install of 1.08 and MCR7...
Only just tried a iplayer, and no flash.... and unfortunately no /secure/etc/shuttle_priv folder
navigated with ifilemanager and can get to /secure/etc and browse that but deffo no shuttle_priv folder.

Has anyone any ideas, or should I wait till I get home and push the apk onto the machine with the adb ?

Just to answer my own post, I downloaded flash from here http://android.modac...r-for-the-vega/ onto my laptop and copied it into dropbox. Opened Dropbox on the Vega and installed the .apk   magic now have Flash again.
Have had a couple of FC and reboots trying to demo a very flash heavy site in normal browser.
I have firefox on now so will try that.
I hope I have the correct version of flash. its libflashplayer_froyo_gles2_20101028_v10.1.95.22_signed.apk ?
will try iplayer and report back if any problems.

It's already on the device. Open a command window. With USB debugging enabled and connected to the PC, and being in the directory that you have install-windows.bat, do:
adb-windows.exe shell pm install -r /system/etc/shuttle_priv/libflashplayer_froyo_gles2_20101019_v10.1.95.18_signed.apk

That will get flash working again...

Hi, I too don't have the /system/etc/shuttle_priv directory on the device so I tried to re-copy across but I get the message:

F:\V1>adb-windows.exe shell pm install -r /system/etc/shuttle_priv/libflashplayer_froyo_gles2_20101019_v10.1.95.18_signed.apk
        pkg: /system/etc/shuttle_priv/libflashplayer_froyo_gles2_20101019_v10.1.
95.18_signed.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE]

Can someone Help?  I reinstalled the latest rom but it made no difference when I tried again....  And I have plenty of space on the device...

Better than faffing with arbitrary, no?

So how do we re-activate flash after we've installed paul's r8 rom onto our vega
I too don't have the /system/etc/shuttle_priv directory on the device

My vega had 1.09 newest build  flash version preinstalled, i bought it on 26 Feb Saterday , so it was a upto date version .
