Guest shadowninty Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 Sky fire is no help, it doesn't open flash sites without a flash plugin.... I'm looking for a similar FlashLite solution to activate flash in the browser... My SF using modaco 2.1 with Flashlite has no problem with Flash, opens every flash-website and can even play flash directly from the youtube website... Android has very very poor browser plug in support, even good old symbion took plug-ins seriously enough to release regular updates.... to think symbion supported flash, rma, mov and other plugins years ago and android developers don't give a monkey's....android doesn't even support half the written languages .... but symbain sucks! ;) IMO this is crap on Googles part... what were they thinking
Guest keloid Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 but symbain sucks! ;) IMO this is crap on Googles part... what were they thinking That's a shame. i watch a lot of sport streams that are in Flash. It appears that my best option is to stick with 2.1 Eclair and get Flashlite - is that correct?
Guest Rotmann Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 If they work with flash lite yes, that's maybe the best option. Or you can try Skyfire with Froyo to see if they work reliable.
Guest Assassin736 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Is anyone having problems installing adobe flash player on the san francisco When i try from adobe.com its says the requested item was not found and when i download it and try to manual install it says application not installed any ideas :/
Guest swordtail Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Is anyone having problems installing adobe flash player on the san francisco When i try from adobe.com its says the requested item was not found and when i download it and try to manual install it says application not installed any ideas :/ Before Oh Dougal get's in first ;) if you had used the search function you would have found that the OSF is NOT Flash compatible.If you have 2.1 you could try Flash Lite but that is about it I'm afraid. (Cool I get to be a "Wannabee Mod") :)
Guest Azurren Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Adobe flash player isn't supported on the ARM6 processors (The one the blade has) So.. Chances are we'll never get it You can install flash lite, if you want to jump through hoops and get a disappointing result ;)
Guest Assassin736 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 now thats a pity first time disappointed from the phone ;/
Guest Lew247 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Flash lite only works on 2.1 roms so if you upgrade to 2.2 it wont work.
Guest Phoenix Silver Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 you can play flash's videos with skyfire browser but that's all
Guest Arr Too Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 There does seem to be an assumption that running Android 2.2 means that there is Flash support on the phone. This messes up the (mobile) YouTube and other sites on the Blade [don't invoke the native player properly]. It would seem like the browser needs to pretend it's actually running 2.1!
Guest Cyburner Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 The thing that many people dont know is that the youtube app on the iPhone/iPad and San Francisco are using HTML5 which is seen as alternative to Adobe Flash.
Guest Carlos Abel Chavez Slim Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Have you tried flesh light?
Guest jurrasstoil Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Have you tried flesh light? yeah, but i accidentally the whole app.
Guest Ash_P Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Have you tried flesh light? That's kind of personal don't you think? :lol:
Guest Davie1888 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 That's kind of personal don't you think? :) HaHa just what I was thinking :lol: :)
Guest Lew247 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Most of the recent "adobe flash" topics have now been merged here
Guest cartierv Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) Android should just copy Apple again. Ban flash for the frigging monstrosity it is :lol: But seriously the stock browser is slow with modern bloated websites which are just designed like garbage. Phone just can't handle zillions of nested <divs>, newer HTML, javascript, css, ajax blah. massive flashing banner ads and what not. How's it going to handle a bucket of Flash stuff on top ? And sites are not designing properly for mobiles. Take Yahoo and the BBC for instance. Those are not mobile sites. They just the regular site basically and far too slow for mobile use. Forums and sites with heavy CMS are the worst offenders. Interesting my own website which kind of old fashioned HTML... lots of TABLES to make a complex page, loads really fast on the Blade and zooming is great. Why we can't we just write some plug in that allows youtube and similar style vids and fakes that flash is working. Having said all that. good luck to all in getting flash working if that's what you want Edited January 21, 2011 by cartierv
Guest stevelyn123 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Hi Guys. I have installed froyo on my san francisco and everything is fine (except the usual wi-fi) and wondered if I can install Adobe flash player on it. I have tried doing it through sd card/ Astro and at first it said it was installed but it never worked, then tried another 2 but neither of them will install. Do i keep trying or will it just not happen. Thanks.
