New uncooked phone - where to get Java and flash? - General Topics

Hey guys
i've just got me a brand new Acer M900 and its rather spanky, however, it doesn't include Opera, Java or Flash Lite on it. I've installed Opera Mini (latest beta) but where would I get Flash Lite and Java from?
All my googling has failed

Adobe Flash support

Hi,
How do I view Adobe Flash in a website?
I installed Opera 8.6 and also Macromedia Flash Player 7 for Pocket PC 2003 (from Adobe website).
That should be sufficient, right?
Thanks

I ant trying to run Flash Themes Player 2007 3.0 on my HTC Touch Pro. The requirement for the player is Macromnedia Flash 6.0, I tried numerous times to install via web and Sync but it keeps tellingme that it not a valid application. I was able to dload version 7 of flash but the program (Themes) does not show up anyplace on the phone after it is installed. Is there a trick to getting Macromedia 6 to load onto the phone so I can use the theme player? Thanks in advance for the help.....I'm new here!

Cruz Reader Hacking

Cruz Reader useful apps: Version 0.01, please check out:
This is *nix archive with a script that installs some well known apps on the Cruz Reader!
It may be that rooting the device is needed before, maybe not, have only tried with a rooted reader...
(want to go to the Market anyone?)
To give the due credit: This was inspired and uses parts of the RPMscript archive for the ePad zt-180...

Cruz ereader needs Android market
Just bought the Cruz ereader. Are you able to get Android market on it? I downloaded the Flash APK and installed flash 10.1. Everything installs fine but flash doesnt work. Is there a work around? If you having trouble using youtube try downloading the youtube apk from Velocity Micro Cruz support site. With a few tweaks this can be a good device. Specifically flash, android marketplace and overclocking.
Market, Maps and Gmail on the cruz

Yes, you can install Market with the pushgoog.sh script. Thi should work on machines with android sdk, and as available from the download link in the slatedroid post that is referenced in post #1 above.
The pushgoog.sh script should work on linux and Mac machines as it is, for windows boxes the script can be easily changed into a batch file (pushgoog.bat or so).
script, rooting and all that stuff is foreign to me. I'm a newbie when it concerns computer stuff. I was hoping had an APK file ready to download/install.

It is now somewhat easier, since all is needed to install Market on the Cruz using Windows XP is available through two downloads linked here

(copy the link and remove the spaces)
but still no apk, sorry.
I just got a Cruz Reader. It is very slow and unresponcive. I flashed the Macho Rom. Market works and Gapps work. If someone could develope a dounut rom based on something like ZXdonut. It would be perfect for this device. It would make this device usable. Right now is so slow and makes me think of G1 running Froyo.
Velocity micro cruz reader??
Yeah I ordered one last week can wait to root it and I wonder if there will be any chance of 2.1 or 2.2 coming to this reader???
I just picked up one last night from BestBuy for $99, and I used a modified ROM from user PandaBomb over at SlateDroid that roots the device upon flashing the ROM. I'm happy with the device...for simple web browsing and twitter/facebook updates it'll be fine. I installed Pulse to have a Flipboard-like app and I'm happy with my e-reader . Here is the link to the forum over at SlateDroid that will guide you: http://www.slatedroid.com/index.php?topic=12820.0
Thanks for the link, I'll check it out, as I just picked up the Cruz Reader at Best Buy as well! It's a neat little device to be sure, but I was upset when I discovered that there was no pre-installed Android Market app installed... (And the Cruzmarket is a bit it a huge let-down for me)!
I thought I read something about one it the (hack/mods/???) not working with the R103, but the 101 & 102? I'm new to Android hacking, but have messed around with a few other devices in the past (moto razr, Dash 3G, etc), but don't want to brick this thing on my first try!
Anyone else have any recommendationsof what to do with this little device?

trying to recover a cruz reader r101

has issues with hidden SSIDs
ill let you know how it plays out next week.
will post links when i can
I am stuck too! I downloaded the ROM update and updated the Cruze. Then I downlaoded the java SE SDK and the Android SDK and the ADB drivers. The write up said to install java SE on root of your harddrive at C:android-sdk I did not have that file on my laptop so I created and installed there. Then the write up said to install the android SDK there and the ADB drivers as well. So I extracted those two files to C:android-sdk-windows. then it said to open the SDK manager from that file and so I opened it and then it said to plug Cruz in via usb. I have done this but it seems everything is being installed on laptop not Cruz! HELP PLEASE
any news on updates 2.1 for the cruz reader?

Android Market - I used the JGM ROM, rooted and had blank Market. Acessing market via laptop showed my Cruz listed, but no serial number. Gave up, but then by luck a week later, I went to the Market on my laptop, found an App and selected, and selected my Cruz as the device to download it to. 2 hours later, sure enough the Market was working, and that select app downloaded.
It almost seems like you have to prime the market first for the Cruz via a computer...

[Q] Which version of ECLIPSE do you recommend ???

Hello all. Pls answer this quick question.
Inspite of being an xda member for a while, i haven't had the knowledge of android development. Im just starting to learn things from now.
So, i think i should learn java (dalvik VM part). Now Im just following a book of developing android apps for noobs. I need to install eclipse and install ADT plugin for eclipse.
Well, im on windows7 ultimate 32bit version. I previously had an ECLIPSE HELIOS VERSION (i think it is eclipse classic 3.6, not sure but it shows eclipse helios on startup). I installed this eclipse helios version. But the problem is i cant install the ADT plugin in any way.
I tried "https://" with no luck. Also tried "http://" with no luck. Also tried "INSTALL FROM ZIP ARCHIVE" with no luck. Also tried this with older ADT zip archives ofcourse with no luck.
The single most error it shows for all these attempts is "Cannot complete the install because one or more required/requested items could not be found."
What do you say. Is the eclipse version having bug with ADT plugin. Or do i need to download another eclipse version. If so please give me the direct file download link for the version you recommend (please since im completely new to this).
Now also installed eclipse indigo and the same problem continued. What should I do.
Sent from my Blade using XDA App
You need to be connected to the internet to installed the required items. I had that error and once I connected to the internet I was fine. But I also had to download the ZIP file because the http-https didn't work for me either.

I'm having a similar problem. I've downloaded the JDK, Android SDK, and Eclipse indigo. I first tried importing the plugin to classic, and it said "requires plugin org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui". So I went back to Eclipse's site and found a version that included WST. Now it's telling me that it can't find one of the files. I've tried both the https, http, and zip versions. I've scoured developer.android, and there's nothing describing my problem.
I'm trying to get into the Android programming scene, but it seems like the "initiation ceremony" is getting the better of me.
Resolved
I managed to find a solution to the problem. Rather than installing Indigo, I reverted to a version of Helios, and everything worked perfectly
