Hi all,
Just came to browsing some pages that have embedded flash but the pages didn't load the flash content, I just got the pages default "You need flash player to see this blah blah". Thought it might be a limitation of the built in browser but both versions of Opera do it and also Dolphin HD.
I clicked on the link on the page to get flash which took me to the market, where I couldn't do anything because latest Flash was installed.
Anyone else had this?
Its a flash player problem, not really related to phone or ROM. Downgrade it so you have flash working again, until they update and fix the issue.
Sorry, downgrade flash or the ROM?
Thanks

Flash. Go to menu/applications/manage applications , find flash player, click it, then click uninstall updates (or something like that my rom is in greek). then make sure you open market, go to your installed apps and untick the autoupdate option on flash player.
Is anyone having problem downloading flash player from market? Ive tried and it says device incompatible.

They have stopped flash on mobile phones I think who ever had flash player installed before adobe made the announcement that they are discontinuing flash player are still able to use it because now they are focusing on.HTML5.

That doesn't sound right. I know they stopped, but I think that just meant they aren't developing for future versions of Android. They still support the existing version of flash and even still provide updates to security.
I will uninstall and try to reinstall to see if I have a problem as well.

It should still work. They aren't discontinuing the flash player. They just stopped development on it... which means it reached a point where it's stable.
They ARE moving toward HTML5, but they aren't just tossing the towel at flash. It'll be around, even in ICS. They said they would still work on compatibility and support, but they just won't be developing new features for it.
If it says it isn't compatible, then that is a market issue I would assume. Try clearing your market cache from Settings>Applications.
If you've having that particular error, you need to uninstall any version of flash that you have currently installed (even if it is preloaded). Then, reboot your phone, and try the market again and it should work.
Oh I don't know because this is not the only person that's having the same issues that's why I seen alot of people tell me that they are having issues with flash player. I haven't had a problem with my flash player yet mine still works n very stable.

It is a protected app. That means if your rom fingerprint has not been approved by Google (i.e., official rom by carrier or manufacturer that is a member of the Open Handset Alliance) you cannot download it from the Android Market (will show as not compatible with your device). This is an issue with many apps if in the Dev Console on the Market they have checked the "Protected App" box. Change the rom description and fingerprint in the build.prop to the ones in the build.prop of the latest official rom for your device. If a G2X change these two lines and then you can download flash and install it.
Code:
ro.build.description=lge_star-user 2.3.3 GRI40 41fdc8a2 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=lge/lge_lge_star/p999:2.3.3/GRI40/lgp999-V21e.41fdc8a2:user/release-keys
Flash 11.1
I've downloaded Flash version 11.1.102.59 and it shows up in my Application information. But every time I've needed flash it says I need to download Flash and when I try it states the same as the OP "Device not Compatible" I haven't figured out how to fix the problem either. Any help will be greatly appreciated I assure you. Thanks,

If you're having this problem then you need to remove the preloaded flash player. The file for the preloaded Flash is /system/app/LibFlashPlayer.apk ... you can remove it manually or use titanium backup or similar to remove it. Then reboot and you should be able to install flash from the market.
EDIT:... somehow I feel like I'm repeating myself.
Does anyone know why after putting on custom roms hulu breaks?
Also if i flash back to stock will that fix it? i dont want to hassle with it if it doesnt.
I see a modded version works but come one i want real support! i am a paying hulu customer...
Modded Hulu
Hulu breaks because it requires DRM verification that you can't get on custom roms. I know you said that you don't want to use the modded version but it works well. I have attached the link to the comment I made on the CM9 thread regarding it. Download the landscape version to browse in landscape. If you have ad away, follow the instructions in the second quote to allow hulu to work with ad blocking still on.
6stringaddict said:
I just wanted to give you guys a heads up. The Play Store version of Hulu Plus was giving me a DRM error after installing CM9, so after some searching, I found a modded version that works. It is an older, less polished version and you have to disable ad blocking (use ad away) to get it to work, but it does. I am using the landscape version.

If you add "ads.hulu.com" and "p.hulu.com" to your whitelist in adaway you'll still be able to block ads from other apps. I know i get tired of rebooting the phone when i want to turn off ads to watch hulu. Hope this helps.

If I flash back to stock will it work again? And why can't whatever drm check they do be rolled into custom rooms?
Also just looked everywhere for that guide to go back to stock and couldn't find it. Anyone know here it is?

*EDIT*
From what i read is TWRP doesnt like to flash the stock roms. but CWM does it fine. I will have to switch over to CWM as i have TWRP installed currently.
Before i go to all this work i would really like to make sure that hulu works on stock with an unlocked bootloader.
Went back to rooted stock... hulu works fine.
By now most of you know the drill
But it went like this.
Flash CWM... Do this via fastboot, NOT ROM MANAGER!
Flash Stock
Reflash CWM... I think stock breaks the first flash
Flash root
profit.
Thank you to all the devs that work so hard.
One question remains.
Why does custom roms break hulu and is there a way to change that?
EEK i am a bonehead.... i never actually streamed a video from hulu i just got past the DRM prompt. I have a different message preventing me from watching hulu now. Something about Streaming Unavailable. make sure i have the latest official update.... :/
*EDIT*
A quick search finds this.
GRRRR
Apparently hulu doesn't work on unlocked bootloaders.
Man that pisses me off at hulu... They might lose a subscriber over this.

I hate to dig up old threads. But I was able to get hulu from market to work on my phone. Unlocked and cm10.1 I'm going to try this method tonight on my tablet. If it works. It should no issues. We will have hull working. I'll report back tonight

Whenever I surf the interweb with the stock browser on my TF101, I always get freezes of Adobe Flash after a while.
After some investigation it seems that Adobe Flash (version 11.1.115.12) is not using any cache. When I check the cache in Settings/Apps it always says 00.0B
Also the stock browser's cache gets stuck when it reaches 27.59MB. It never gets higher.
Has anyone else had this problem and/or knows how to fix it? And could this be the problem of some Flash movies that freeze or stutter.
I already did a couple full resets/wipes (like you would do after a firmware update) and factory resets.
Depending on what android version you are! If your on android 4.0 you don't need flash and for honeycomb i would advise to change settings from flash to always ask

I'm on 4.0
What do you mean "you don't need flash" ? If I uninstall Flash I can't see any Flash website...
Your so right , i am not using flash on my htc desire hd with android 4.0. From what i see adobe flash offically do not support android 4.0 and up anymore.
This is the stock US KitKat ROM for The Galaxy Tab 3 7" Tablet. Finally found it after a bunch of hassle online, and figured I'd post it here to make things easier for everyone.
When I Odin'd this ROM, it actually upgraded my tablet, and left all my items installed (not guaranteeing this will work the same for everyone else).
Afterwards, I just Odin'd TWRP to reroot using Chainfire's SuperSU (no other Superuser would work) and called it good.
Caution: if you are using a custom ROM, this may not work without reflashing stock 4.1.2 since the 4.4.2 ROM appears to be an update, rather than a full ROM.
Rooted devices and custom kernels that are otherwise stock should be fine.
The cache, and if possible dalvik-cache should be cleared before flashing. Some of those files can sometimes interfere with upgrades.
It might be necessary to pinpoint apps that are force closing, uninstall and reinstall them. Some apps, particularly paid apps, store their data differently on KitKat, and will automatically fail as a result.
If that fails, it might be necessary to factory reset the device.
The Stock 4.1.2 ROM for the T210R is available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-stock-sm-t210r-4-1-2-jellybean-odin-t2958676
The T210R...XAR file is for the 210R:

The ITV file is for the T210 (no R)
To download these ROMs, a torrent client is required (such as utorrent).
Anyone who wishes to contribute, please seed if you can after downloading ("Force Starting" the torrent will seed it indefinitely.)

I've seen both devices referenced together quite regularly, implying that they use the same ROM.
http://www.boeboer.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-3-7-sm-t210r-manual-guide-wifi/
And even use the same kernel from what I've read:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439564
I would take standard precautions, such as having a odin image of your original software available and performing a backup of your current system (if able).
Perhaps someone else has some insight to this question?
edit: Looks like I had my information wrong. Found where I obtained the ROM from, it is for the T210R model, and was not intended for the T210.
There are custom ROMs that have been patched for use on both devices, which is where my confusion came from, but this is an official ROM.
I have gotten my hands on the T210(no R) ROM file, and have update the Links above.
I am not responsible for any failed attempts at flashing to either device.

First, thanks for this. I have the T210R. I tried using this and had the same result, it updated the tablet instead of loading a completely new version. I did however run into a problem...the tablet had many for closes and reboots to a point it was unusable and so I reverted back to my backup. Did you see this? Maybe I had a bad download?

I did not have this problem, but I didn't have much on my Tab either. (Some apps don't play well with KitKat upgrades.)
Torrents have multiple segmented hashchecks to make sure you get an uncorrupted download, but it might still be possible. I'm reasonably sure my file is OK since I've used it (can't speak for the non R file though).
Did you clear your cache, and if possible your dalvik cache? I've read that some of those files interfere with upgrades.
If you can pinpoint the apps that are force closing, uninstall and reinstall them. Some apps, particularly paid apps, store their data differently on KitKat, and will automatically fail as a result.
Other option would be to try a factory reset and see if that fixes it. (I understand not wanting to do that though.)
One more thing, if your ROM isn't stock, or stock rooted (custom kernel should be ok too), you may have to flash 4.2 before the 4.4 ROM will work on the device.
Right guys, here i go, just joined and first question!!!
i have not ever rooted a sm-t210 but it was rooted when i bought it second hand!
i have linux installed on my p.c. and was wondering if there is a way to upgrade to and official KITKAT!
as stated i am having problems because my SM-T210 wifi only! and want to update to kitkat official release!
but was hoping also that there is a way/method to root via LINX and not via windows!!
if that is not possible how do i go about it on windows!! as i can use a friends WINDOWS-P.C. if i must!
ah also my SM-T210 does not have the options to change the function of the USB-function,,,
i.e.
it used to have an option to,, use as a mass storege, media transfer or use with samsung keis,,, or some thing of the sort
but this option has dissapeared! may have been my fault!!!! as i uninstalled some system apps,
now it crashes and reboots whenever i try to turn of USB-DEBUGGING options in DEVELOPER-OPTIONS !!!!
many thanks in advance,

Just to triple check, by the above quote you mean that if my tablet is currently rooted, I should still be fine to flash this update correct? [obviously it would become non-rooted once flashed and I'd have to re-root it as you mentioned you rooted after installing]
Also, how much space does this take up?
thanks

That is correct. I was rooted running the Werewolf custom OC kernel. I still had my tablet upgrade without wiping, and one other user has reported back saying the same. But I can not promise upgrade as opposed to overwrite.
The flash file once extracted, is about 1.4 GB, I don't know sizes beyond that. It does not repartition the tablet however.

No system file
Well this is awesome, system won't mount and I don't have a backup. Samsung website does NOT have the stock firmware, and attempting to get it for another country just to get this to load so I can flash a ROM leaves me with having to download at 15kbs. I am in the process of selling this to someone for their kid... And there are ZERO seeders for these files. Lovely.

For some (unknown) reason, Odin3 nor JOdin3 doesn't seem to work for flashing my Samsung Galaxy Tab3 device. For that reason I tried Heimdall-Frontend, but to make that work you need to extract the content of a stock ROM first.
Anyways, it still didn't lead to get my device into factory reset yet.
But that's another story on which I still have not yet found the answers needed to get the device successfully back into factory reset.
My guess is that the 'system.img' file, of Android 4.4.2, successfully has been loaded from Heimdall-Frontend, yet by going into reboot right away after Heimdall-Frontend releases the connected device, the download may be deleted.
I read that the cause of that may lie in the fact that Android 4.4.2 is only an update and no full ROM.
