Flash Player 10.1 Beta for Android

Flash Player 10.1 Beta for Android ...

http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html#android

but for 2.2 only......

[Guest bais]

I saw that, lame move from Adobe, it's supposed to work on Eclair too. Why Froyo only?! We probably won't have Froyo and if we do, it won't be soon.

[Guest Mr.r9]

Hahaha, bastards! 2.2 isn't even out on any device yet!

[Guest jayziac]

It requires 2.2 APIs, probably also the JIT compiler to run such a beast. Flash isn't known to be very efficient.

[Guest bais]

There were flash on 2.1 demos before, they worked quite well, don't see why it shouldn't work on Eclair...

[Guest G_Technik]

They don't let me download it at their site and there is nothing at the market/ :rolleyes:

[Guest bais]

If we are really lucky, maybe it will work like 2.0 and 2.1 on the Droid/Milestone, you will be able to use some 2.2 apks on 2.1 Android.

That has nothing to do with flash, just with Froyo.

What would be awesome is if some devs made it work on a 2.1 device (HTC phones will stay with Andro 2.1 for some time I think compared to the N1 and Droid which will get it soon)

[Guest uapo7]

And if devs can port android 2.2 to liquid, that is awesome. I hope, that acer relases 2.2 to liquid. But if acer will do it, i think we have to wait 2.2 upgrade very long time.

[Guest jayziac]

We should start a campaign to contact Acer support or marketing department requesting Froyo 2.2 support. Most companies realize for every person who writes in, it represents a thousand customers who don't.

[Guest HustlinDaily]

Maybe do an e-petition and flood their inbox

Because at this rate, by the time we get Froyo, Android will be getting Ginberbread

Saw a Froyo preview and looks like the Youtube app we have (the one with the new widget and HQ settings) comes from Froyo, if you don't believe me check the engadget preview.

I noticed that too, I thought it was just the standard Android youtube player, but maybe our liquid is more special than I thought. I also noticed that even with SetCPU max frequency of 384 Mhz, I was able to watch youtube without slowdowns, wondering if our youtube app is using native code or compiled java.

That will probably take time, if ever. To get acer to release 2.2 is probably a faster way.

But we will probably be able to run most 2.2 apps.

From Engadget from Adobe-

Beyond Froyo, what are the specific hardware requirements for 10.1?

We think that's a reasonable connection, certainly for android, tying Froyo to it. We've not yet seen Froyo on lower-end systems. If that happens, we may need to adjust [the requirements]. Right now that's a simple mapping to make, but there is a hardware requirement in terms of speed and capability. ARM11, Cortex A8, A9, Tegra / Atom-class processor. If you're running a 300MHz, it's gonna fall below our requirements. It'll perform terribly and may fail.

GOOD SIGN FOR US!

[Guest dentette]

Froyo looks so awesome,

Hoping we get some love from acer :rolleyes:

BTW, perhaps the rom from the liquid 2 will work for us too with some modifications

[Guest jayziac]

Froyo is supposed to be about slimming down Android and making everything more efficient.

[Guest HustlinDaily]

This news makes me optimistic. Hopefully Acer gets on it right away.

This is because youtube videos are in .h264 and this gets encoded by the Snapdragons DSP (which is the best DSP to date). Even at 125MHz all Videos which can be encoded by the DSP should run smooth. Always remember Snapdragon = CPU (Scorpion) + GPU (Adreno 200) + DSP + 2G/3G Radio + GPS.

Thanks, makes sense. Do you know if the SetCPU clock rate only sets the CPU frequency then? meaning the GPU & DSP still run at regular clock speeds? My liquid still got pretty hot when watching those youtube videos.

It is written in C/C++ - no JIT required at all! I have AIR installed on my 2.1 - works like a charm, but it is for apps, not a plugin for browser. So it is Adobe's fault. And they say final AIR release will not work on 2.1 like it does today. Sux!

[Guest demolition23]

Maybe we gonna wait Acer to relece an Liquid f (froyo) model hehe

[Guest fbsqual]

Have someone got the flash.apk? May be we can have a try. I modified the UA-string and cheat adobe's certificate system, but It redirect to a Market link. And then I try the 2.2 SDK but fail at installing the Vending.apk(Market).

Are there any other ways ?

Yep, I've spent a few hours trying to install Market in emulator. Currently I need to modify permissions and add framework jar needed for gtalkservice, but changes are lost during reboot. And package manager does not see these changes without reboot. I'm stuck and actually have a I lot of work to do. Any tips here from experienced devs?

Only found this :rolleyes:

I think we can wait Liqiud Stream's rom
