Guest Stevonator Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) Edit: The problem turned out to be Flash so if you're reading this and having the same problem or Flash is not working at all please look at post number 10 and follow those instructions :mellow: Hey guys sorry it's me again I post a lot of questions. You probs know me now as the nooby question man lol. Anyways I overclocked me Vega it made a HELL of a difference, but now whenever i play online or local video there are white flashing lines in the center of the screen. It's only happened after the overclocking was performed. So I took these steps. I re-flashed my Vega to remove any overclocking settings and restore it to the usual 1GHZ. I've tried viewing a video in BBC iPlayer with Flash enabled ATFER flashing it and the problem still existed. I then tried to view BBC iPlayer without Flash and the problem was still there. I've also tried to view ITV player under the same conditions and it was still there. I had a small 45 second video clip which I played and it seemed to run fine however there wasn't much happening on the screen. The white lines only appear when a lot is going on. For example if it goes quickly from bright to dark, or quickly switches scenes or something like a car chase makes it happen a lot. Have I damaged something by overclocking it? Has anyone else had it. It's really noticeable and tbh I'm pretty scared that I've damaged the GPU or CPU. Any comments or resolutions to this problem would be greatly appreciated. Oh ye I used two CPU programs. I can't remember the name of the first one, however the problems started after using that. So I uninstalled it and installed Setcpu after reflashing it and the problem still happened. Thanks guys :o Stevonator Edited May 3, 2011 by Stevonator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason it was Corvus 5 which is really strange as it seemed to work fine all day yesterday and up to now today. I reflashed back to stock and it works fine :o Corvus 5 was great please don't get me wrong however due to that I'll be trying pauls Rom and see if I get any more luck in terms of video playback :D Stevonator PHEW! Glad you got it sorted! You've been waiting so long for your Vega it would be a nightmare if you got a faulty one! lol I run Corvus5 (obviously :D) at 1.2ghz permanently (I find 1.4 a little excessive, although my tablet performs great with it on with no ill effects) and I havent experienced this issue. My daughter and myself watch tv and movies on it all the time and don't get this at all :/ If you get chance to reflash covus5 from scratch with a whole host of wipes, please let me know if this keeps occurring so I can look in to it! newbe5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some strange reason the stock rom works fine so I'll just learn to live with it :o Thanks for your concern :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some strange reason the stock rom works fine so I'll just learn to live with it :o Thanks for your concern :D It may be the issue with Flash 10.2 that has been discussed elsewhere. Evidently, the 10.2 on the Marketplace (not sure if that has been added to the ROM's) is not optimised for the Vega, where the 10.2 in the stock ROM supposedly is.

Here you go. I don't think there are any other related files. I had to rename it txt because it said I wasn't allowed to post apk files. Simply rename it back to apk. On a side note, stock 1.09 contains flashplayer 10.1 and not 10.2. (And so this is 10.1) Zebflashplayer10.1.120.10.txt Edited May 1, 2011 by Zebrahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried this on the default browser and dolphin hd. I tried to be clever myself by taking the system img file created from my nandroid backup and taking the flashplayer from there ! However the custom rom doesn't accept it. It seems were doomed forever for flash content lmao ! :D Thanks anyway :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stevonator Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) I have a fix :D After much researching I have found this version of Flash Player which when installed works like a charm. Follow these instructions: 1. Download this file :mellow: [url="https://rapidshare.com/files/460318958/Latest_version_of_Flashplayer_10.1.apk 2. Put it on your SD Card 3. Go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and remove any existing Adobe Flash Player installations 4. Immediately Restart the device 5. Once rebooted immediately install the APK file you transferred onto your SD Card earlier 6. Congratulations you now have Adobe Flash :D Its also confirmed that this works after a reboot as I have rebooted my Vega. This was tested on the Modaco R8 Custom Rom. However I believe this fix should also work for other Custom Roms such as Corvus5 :o Stevonator Edited May 2, 2011 by Stevonator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stevonator Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Hi again! I have here the latest version of Flash 10.1. Install it the same way you installed the previous Flash Player. The instructions have also been updated with this link :D Please let me know how you get on :mellow: This was tested on Modaco R8. Other roms should work fine however it's getting late now lol and I have work in the morning so I can't be flashing to three different roms to find out the stability of Flash :D However if you do encounter any issues the moment I get home I will be trying Flash with all three roms and give you the link to the Flash Player that works best with that rom. This also fixes those very annoying white lines :D It also fixes the notice you get saying you need to update your version of Adobe Flash. Here's the link :- https://rapidshare.com/files/460318958/Late...player_10.1.apk Enjoy your Flash, any problems I'll be more then happy to help and look into them :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonnyspuruk Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Hi This is old news and a compromise. You have current version 10.2 not optimised for the vega and thus the white lines u describe or you revert back to 10.1 as you have posted and you have major lip sync problems that were rectified in 10.2. What Bugs you the most??? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Bugs you the most??? Thx Hi johny, I understand that the majority of users on this forum will know how to get Flash working. However for new users it's not so easy. Im sure you remember when you were brand new to Android all you wanted was a simple pain free guide which was easy to understand. I know i did lol :mellow: This is for them and I realise Paul has already made a thread based on Flash, but for people who haven't got the folder that Paul specified, people like me and many others it's quite frustrating when all you simply want is Flash. And in anwser to your question yes referring back to 10.1 does rectify issues, however the first link I provided was for an early version of Flash 10.1 which was probably why people were having problems . The new link is for a more recent version of Flash 10.1 Thanks, Stevonator Edited May 3, 2011 by Stevonator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
