Guest N77 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Hi Guys, Seems like this is the place to ask this, as I have been thinking about getting a Vega for a while, had an Archos but the Vega seems to be easier to alter so I have brought a month old one, with your custom ROM already installed, but after the person I brought it off removed his info on the device Flash Player is not installed. I have searched for it on the market, but it appears that as I don't have a phone and this is not "official" on the device I cannot see it to download it. I have thought of reverting back to the original Advent ROM with Flash Player already installed, then putting back on the Modaco ROM, but was not sure if this would work. Can anyone point me in the right direction or advice, I did a search but only seem to find about downloading from the market. Please Help, just learning at the moment so any help appreciated. Seems like a top forum and I believe you can subsribe to? what does this include. Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance To carry out upgrades to ROM you need to have a PC connected via USB cable and use either ADB or Clockwork Mode system to do it. You can download and install apps direct to the Vega without a PC but I tend to get mine through the Android Market which is pretty straight-forward and mostly reliable. Other items such as docs can also be downloaded directly but you will normally need to install an app to view them. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did download one previously direct to the Vega but got the messgage "Parse error" There is a problem parsing the package when selecting it from the SDCARD through iFileManager.

Guest WelshPhil Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Flash is also available on the market place once you have flashed your rom with MCRv8. I installed "Flash" last night, very painless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest N77 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Download the flash apk direct to vega and you should be able to install directly v10.1.120.1_signed.apk recommended as 10.2 has artifact problems. The above worked like a dream, woohooo!!! Did exactly what it said, downloaded it direct from the site onto the Vega, didn't run at first, so went to downloads on the SDCARD through iFileManager and it worked from here :-) I did download another browser but it doesn't seem to work with that, works fine with the browser that came with it though. Can anyone recommend a good browser that works okay with Flash 10.1 and also goes to the main websites rather than the mobile ones? Thanks to all for your help, much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to all for your help, much appreciated In the default browser type "about:debug" (without the quotes of course). Nothing seem to change. But when you now open the browsers settings and scroll down you will see "UAstring". Change it to desktop and the standard browser opens websites in the desktop version, not the mobile ones.
