Flash on the Photon Q - Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE

Sorry if this has been solved before with ICS, but I'm stumped. I had a Moto Triumph before this. It had Gingerbread, and I installed CM7 onto it. Rooted, overclocked, the whole nine yards. I tried to install Flash from Play but it said it's not supported in my country (WTF, thanks, Adobe!) So I found an APK elsewhere and installed it. Bam! Flash works in Dolphin Browser. It's pretty slow, but it works.
Now, I did the same thing for my Photon Q and its preinstalled ICS. Any browser I try, including Opera Mini Next, Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin Browser and the default Android browser, I just get a blue cube icon where the flash object should be. I downloaded an app from Play that runs .SWF files and it displays the exact same blue cube.
Is there a workaround that anyone is aware of? If Adobe doesn't start supporting mobile devices, I think we'll be seeing Flash replaced before very long. By an open standard.

Officially Adobe has stopped supporting Flash via mobile going forward....but I believe you can still download/install the apk for whatever the last released version for each Android version via this link (you'll have to scroll down to where it lists 'Flash player for Android 4.0 archives' and grab the one at the top of that list in the case of the Q):
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html#main_Archived_Flash_Player_versions_for_developers

And that worked perfectly. Plays nice and smooth, too. Thanks a ton!

You're quite welcome....its not often I'm in a position to be able to help someone rather than being one of the ones asking questions but I was prepared on that one, I read that elsewhere and bookmarked it in my Photon Q folder for later use myself when I get one. I almost did this past weekend but decided to hold off still for now....then when I read in one of the other threads that Roam Control isn't (at least currently) working on it, that's kind of a deal breaker for me until that's fixed. Forcing roaming while at work is just shy of an absolute must unfortunately. :/

[Q] Update not loading

Guys,
I just became the, now rather dubious, owner of a gTablet that a colleague brought for me from the States. So far I am not that impressed. Several apps that supposed to be on there, aren't (no Kindle app out of the box, and no gMarket, despite what the manual says).
SO, I try the announced update procedure: fails.
First time fails at 8%. Second time fails at 13%, third time fails at 28%, fourth time fails at 4%. Is this a joke of some sort? Also the download is rather slow, as in, they use smoke signals to get the message across!
Does anyone have the update as a file that I can run as an apk perhaps?
I also have to point out that the GUI rather sucks. The settings menu misses about 50% of the Android 2.2 options (I have a HTC desire. Waaaay more settings options...)
After my complaints,lets get to figuring this out.
1) Can someone point me to the update pack if it is available for download via my Mac and can be installed using that ES explorer program it has installed?
2) Does the update provide Google Market or the original weblink? Does it use a different gui or still the same simpleton gui?
3) if not, is there a simple ROM flash I can do that gives me a different GUI and google Market?
I have flashed my HTC Hero before, which was not a big deal. However, I want things done simple, so if there is a good ROM with a nice GUI and simple instructions for a noob (I got two left hands when it comes to this sort of stuff), and Google Market, I would gladly see a link.
Any support will be very welcome!
you found the right place

Forget about the stock update and read about TNT lite or the vegan beta Rom if you feel experimental. You can get market flash and pretty much all the Google goodies.

A good start would be the following guide.

Understand that there are newer versions of the rom referenced, also there's VEGAn, a rom based on the Vega.
The Gtab stock needs a lot of help but it is a very good product with a little TLC and some grunt work:
Different devices/users different opinions. I am more than satisfied with the performance and feel of my Gtab without flashing a different ROM and what I did was follow these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827209
I used root explorer instead of AndRootFile
Then I changed my launcher to ADW.Launcher
Side load flash (Instructions/.apk on XDA-developers)
Do the market fix to get all market (Instructions/.apk on XDA-developers)
add titanium backup
add ROMManager
Note: When I applied the latest update from Viewsonic (fixed the video driver, now AngryBirds, etc working) I had to re-root the device but everything else works fine.
Even fixed the issue with Gtab not seeing Ad-hoc network from phone (Instructions can be found on internet). Now my Gtab rocks, connects to my home Wifi or if not available connects to my Phone Wifi.
I can still launch the default tapNtap if I want to and Viewsonic upgrades apply fine. I had an issue with update also....Support had me set the sleep to "off" and then it worked fine, however the update image was posted on XDA-developer:
Bobtran,
Interesting perspective. Could you run Quadrant and show us what that score is?
I have had TnT up to 2.2 then swithed to VEGAn beta3 now. Q =2411
Most everything runs very very fast...
All, Thanks for the suggestions and the useful links . I might be flashing mine this weekend.
As for which ROM to use, what are the pros and cons for one over another? E.g. if I were to take the TnT ROM (I think it's at 2.4.1 now?), how does that fare against, say, the Vegan Beta4 (I think the latest is beta4 from what I read on some posts)
Bobtran, did you have a link for the update image? seemed like you were going to post it, but got cut short...
Guys,
I am trying to install Clockwork Mod v08 as per one of the links. First issue is that the tablet won't mount the SDcard to my desktop. SHouldn't be a big issue as I can coy/paste the required files from the internal storage to the SDcard via ESexplorer (standard installed on the gTablet).
However, how do I know it installed correctly? I don't see a new app and the boot install goes very fast. There is an opened box with an arrow pointing down and a load bar that seems to have green hashed filling, as if it's preparing to install. Then suddenly the splash screen pops up. The box with arrow and progress bar are there for a second or so, maybe 2. Seems rather quick. Is this correct?
EDIT: I wanted to say the boot screen didn't come up when starting up with vol+ and pwr, but just noticed, it does... so should be ok
well, seems I have been successful in flashing the new ROM (TnT 2.4.0) using CWM-v08.
Question though, the instructions in the TnT installation guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245) seem to say that the market fix only is a partial fix (note that the comment applies to TnT2.2).
Now that I installed the TnT2.4.0 ROM, I was wondering if the market fix is also only partial for TnT2.4. If yes, can I run the patch at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827209
and if yes, would that give me full Market access? If not, what's involved in getting full Market access?
As a side question that may not belong here but wouldn't be answered in the appropriate forum section: I have an XT701 phone that needs a Market Fix. Would the fix at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827209
also provide my phone with the Market? Just a side question, if no answer, that's fine...

Unfortunately I flashed to TnT lite yesterday so can't do that anymore without starting from scratch. Just testing the waters so to speak.

For the market fix, just see the link that I have in my first post, in the TnT Lite thread. That fix could also work on other devices. It's the same fix in the link you just posted.

video sites that don't work

Hi there,
so have the latest update from VS and downloaded and installed the flash beta from the VS website - i can watch video from Youtube and it looks good, but no Fancast or NBC - a function of flash beta or something else? what is everyone else finding?
running stock but rooted
Happy Holidays

G Tablet: Vegan beta 4 ROM
Where to start?
failblog.org
megaupload videos. This may be because of my internet speed though as it doesn't load fast enough.
I will try to edit this list with sites I know where flash does not work properly.
Other flash like chatango works but it turns ghosts(3D like or blurry).
Fancast used to work for me but after TnT upgrade is not working anymore.
It's been hit or miss with me on Fancast. It seems like the older episodes (say from last year) work fine, but the newer ones don't. That's the only pattern that I have seen to date.

[APP] TV Shows Stream LITE

Hi,
We have been working on this app, is my fourth android app.
The aplication searchs over internet for tv-shows links capables to be played directly on your device, with full screen support using megavideo, frogmovz, karambavidz and other hosting services. The search resoult are shown in a intuitive and easy to use interface.
EDIT: This application is not available anymore.
Samsung galaxy vibrant user here:
Using Nerov3+voodoo
on wifi
While the interface of the app was very easy to navigate. Non of the the videos I tried to play from the few websites I selected would play. I picked monk and the x-files. I also tried multiples of the sources.
It basically opens a webpage and ask you to verify that you are human. Nothing happens for "me" beyond that.
Vibrant user..nerov3..no voodoo Dexter works fine !!
Will this ever support HDMI out for the EVO?
Try megavideo servers first
The best integration is when megavideo is used as stream server, it goes directly to full screen.
I have been watching X Files and Dexter without any problem on my HTC Desire.
Sounds Great I'm in
I purchased the full version. So far so good
I have not had any problems loading videos on the Droid Incredible. However, there seems to be a delay on the sound by about a second or two.
I downloaded the lite version and experienced it both on Prison Break and Lost.
Excellent so far when I use megavideo streams. Awesome that its got its always sunny - thats not even on netflix streaming!.
watching dexter on my nexus one running MircoMod777 Gingerbread V.19
havent tried any others yet but im sure most if not all work, theres alot of sources to choose from so dont start crying if the first one doesnt load up right away, its the lite version, deal with it
Can you add Fringe?
I m a fan.
Beauty! I bought the full version right away. Great app.
same here, great app but would like to suggest maybe an integration with tv show favs app, maybe. I see the bookmarks app which is good, also how often will these be update, are we looking at 30 mins after show aired?

Hi,
This app has not been tested with custom ROMs. If you experience problems try uninstalling the rom flash player and install flash player from the market before changing your ROM.
so far so good.....most likely will upgrade soon...........great work..........

[Q] Is there any way to get Adobe Flash to run on the ChaCha?

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but I'd like to ask if anyone has figured out how to run Adobe Flash properly on the ChaCha. I've checked Adobe's website, and no, the ChaCha/Status is not listed as a supported unit. Between Adobe killing off further support for Flash and what seems like so far non-existent updates from HTC (there was supposed to be some sort of secruity flaw on certain HTC Android phones, but I've got no firmware updates from HTC or AT &T on my phone from the Settings of the phone ... I've had the phone since almost the second week it came it in America, where I am) it looks like there will be no official release of Adobe Flash 10 or 11 showing up in the Android Market Place for us ChaCha users. I have tried out .apk files from various websites (probably XDA would have been one ... not sure) and got it to install, but wouldn't display flash like it should, just like the default flash support of the ChaCha, which is very limited. I have been able to play a flash game and some videos over the standard web browser with the default flash, but nothing extra with Adobe Flash. I've tried this with 10 and 11 versions, one for Droid, which is supported for Adobe Flash. The 10 did nothing but install without actually doing anything else, and the 11 took me to an Adobe settings page, but I couldn't navigate it fully as there were parts of the screen cut off and an icon I couldn't click no matter how hard I tried. I am guessing there must be some configuration issues in the internal memory files, or just isn't compatible. I can't root right now as I need to find a shop in Sacramento that can do S-off (can't afford XTC Clip now). As a related note, on standard Nokia and Samsung phones (that aren't smart phones) I have successfully run various J2ME programs that were not intended for the device. I was even able to run a game for the Nokia Series 60 phones on a Samsung BlackJack, which is of course Windows Mobile 6 based, but couldn't play due to the keyboard layout. I have had two Nokia Series 40 phones, one which still works, sort of, the Nokia 6030B. The point of this digression is that I figured there would likely be a way to run Android software not intended for the particular device I have, the ChaCha of course. Oh, and since I mentioned J2ME software, anyone been able to run it on the ChaCha, or any Android device? Just curious.
Ask and you shall recieve: http://www.androidcampus.in/2011/10/adobe-flash-player-102-for-armv6-and.html
Full adobe flash for armv6 devices like ours. Not flash lite but the real thing. It runs out of the box on the SuperOSR rom, but you'll probably need to remove flash lite from a Sense based rom in order for this to work, which ultimately means having to be S-OFF.
Sent from my A810e using XDA Premium App
Thanks!
Much as I suspected ... would need to root. After Christmas I will look around for a repair/mod shop that can S-off with the XTC Clip or reliable clone. There were several operating out of the Westfield Downtown Plaza (Sacramento) but I do not know if they are still there given how barren much of the mall is now. Also I had a Nokia or Samsung 'dumb phone' I wanted a cable for, and ended up getting one that didn't work, with the wrong drivers on a mini disc. Once I do get S-off by this or other means that may come up in the future I will look into the post you mentioned. According to Wikipedia, Arm 6 is supposed be similiar to Arm 7 but with less instruction sets available. I suppose this is why Adobe's official flash app would not be compatible, but there is no reason why some other flash app from homebrew or whatever might not do something better than the default Android flash (well, default if you didn't get a phone with Adobe Flash on there from the get go ... I think those are all higher spec phones, like some of the Motorola Droid phones). This may be for the best anyway, as Adobe has forsaken the mobile phone users of the world as far as flash goes. Hopefully they will keep Acrobat going. That is a good app to have, albeit not as good as on PC (and Mac?). Sorry if I sound newbish, because I am a newb as far as the technical details. Not since my Nokia 3030b have a had a phone with as much independent development as the ChaCha. I could have done more with that Nokia if it only had an SD card slot or a readily available cable for purchase. Oh well. No point in bothering with that now.
awesome...didn't know there are any flash versions out there for arm6...
so are there any news for version 11 of adobe flash player for arm6?
Tried out the download
After installing the modified Adobe Flash 10.1 APK I tried a some from the Marketplace that said Adobe Flash was needed and a couple worked. I also tried a number of Flash videos and Flash sites and got mixed results. Some wouldn't show up but most ran, but slowly (except for sound). Maybe one or two ran right but I think they may have been optimized for mobile devices. I ran some NicoVideo viewers on my phone and only one was actually able to display the video (complete with Nico's unique comments flashing by during the videos). However, it actually downloaded the videos to the SD card, and MoboPlayer already runs FLV files so it's a bit hard to gauge how effective the Adobe Flash would be, or even if it's running. I checked Adobe's Shockwave page and the little animation came up as well as 'you have version 10,1,1,102,54 installed'. The same would later prove true for the regular Adobe Flash page as well. I repeatedly installed and uninstalled the Flash from the list of installed programs on my phone, but am still able to get the same results regardless of whether it was installed or not. I have a feeling some files must have been stored permanently in Root, which I cannot access as I am S-On, but am not quite sure. As the ChaCha does have rudimentary flash support from the get go despite not being a phone officially supported for the Adobe Flash APK, I cannot be certain. Does anyone with an officially supported phone for Adobe Flash 10.1 get similiar results? How about a rooted phone? Also if anyone has successfully gotten Adobe Flash 11 to run on ChaCha let me know if your flash performance improved from 10.1. Of course even an Adobe Flash APK that is fully useful for our ChaChas would only be of limited use, given Java, Silverlight, and various other plugins, scripts, etc. that currently are in use for videos, video games, and online apps, so don't think that you will be able to run anything. Having Adobe Flash working, even on a so-so level, is a big help though. Please post any experiences you may have had with Adobe Flash or basic Android flash players on your phone and any monkeying around you may have done to make it work or work better.
Tried out some .SWF files off line successfully
With Smart SWF Player (would be good player for just watching Shockwave Flash videos, as opposed to .FLV, files, which run fine too but MoboPlayer already does that well, were it not for the ads. Did not see any ad free version for sale in Market) and SWF Player File Viewer (this has an ad free version, but couldn't press any of the keyboard buttons but space ... maybe I need to look more into it) I was able to successfully run flash files, other than FLV which several video players already do, such as MoboPlayer. SWF Player Filer Viewer said that I had not installed the Adobe Flash Plugin, but ran the files anyway. Upon clicking it I was taken to the Android Marketplace, where it pulled up Adobe Flash 11 which of course is not officially compatible with the ChaCha. Thought I would report my findings. It seems hunch in the last post so far seems correct - Adobe Flash is still on the phone, somewhere, based upon what I have been able to do and see thus far, but isn't quite working as well as it ought to. Perhaps Adobe Flash 11 would do things right? By the way, in the official Marketplace one will see an app called 'Flash Player 12' - I have not tried to run it as the same developer also supposedly had Chrome and GTA (like on a PC or PS2) for Android. That seems quite fishy to me.
here Adobe Flash Player 10.3 for ARM6 Processors...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23720575/do...d_higher_com.adobe.flashplayer_10.3.186.3.apk
Update: seems like it's not installing....
not sure why
Don't know why your 10.3 did not install. Did you try going to Adobe's Flash plugin site to test it out? If it installed it show your flash version and display an animated banner.

Yes! Flash 10.2 is running on my HTC ChaCha, I've shared how I did it in a tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475575
Root is required, but as you probably know, the XTC clip is no longer required for root. I've added instructions for it all anyway
Currently, there is not a option to run Adobe Flash but a flash edition for BlackBerry is in the performs hopefully this season. Actually, I heard about it at ChaCha as well.
so nice

G2 stock browser supports Adobe Flash Player

The G2 (AT&T) stock Browser supports Adobe Flash Player. Just go to Adobe's Archived Flash Player versions and download the latest version under Android 4.0. It didn't work on the Galaxy S4 4.2.2 stock browser so I thought it was worth mentioning.
Remember this works only on the stock Browser. It does NOT work in Chrome. Chrome does NOT support Flash!
And make sure that the option Enable plug-ins is set to Always on in the Browser Settings.
Very nice. I'm jealous. The Verizon version only has Chrome, no stock browser.

Verizon and their stuff....
I love Chrome but sometimes I just NEED to see websites that include Flash content and its awesome to have the option to see them if needed.
If you're on Verizon you can still get the AOSP Browser and add Flash. I just did it, but I'm rooted and I don't know if it would work on non-rooted phones or not.
Install the [ROOT]AOSP Browser Installer from the Play Store. Ignore the warnings and have it install the AOSP Browser. Then go into your App maager and remove [ROOT]AOSP Browser Installer just to clean things up. You'll now have the stock browser that works fine.
Then just follow the instructions in the OP to install Flash. Works great.

On my Verzion G2 there is no LG browser... just Chrome (which won't use Flash). Other versions of the G2 use the AOSP browser. You can have multiple browsers on the same device... no problem.

Does Capture Plus work with this browser?
Also, I've been using Dolphin Browser and it seems to support all my flash needs as well give it a try.
Does International version support flash?
Another workaround (Works on Verizon)
I also have got this to work with Dolphin Browser on my LG G2 Verizon flavor.
Doet the aosp browser from the play store have the PIE controls you can swipe in from the left? I hate having that adressbar popping up when I scroll up.
I tried the aosp installer last week, but didnt get it to work. Also tried some other ways of pushing it, but then broke the default browser in the progress. Dont want to reflash my rom again, but if it can get me the PIE controls I will keep trying it.
I've got the international version and the browser seems to have lots of bugs. Double tapping a column of text doesn't always resize it or align it with the screen properly, after a week my bookmarks disappeared and refused to come back so I had to do a factory reset, now the top and bottom bars no longer auto hide. I like the browser because it has extra features not found in Chrome but it feels like a beta product. I'm going to give dolphin and firefox a go.
Hi there... I have a new D800 and am trying to get flash installed by following the above tips. Even though I've tried several times, it's not happening. Could someone please tell me which flash version in the archived list you were able to get working using the default browser, unrooted, on the AT&T G2?
Thanks.... I am very hard of hearing and need to be able to watch the ASL videos online.

Awesome. I had assumed that the stock player would have flash plugin installed, and when I tried to open a site with flash, was surprised to find that it couldn't handle it. Now I am able to. Thanks for the info.
AWESOME! Just wish I had seen this over the weekend when I was trying to watch college football on CBS while on my way to my outlaws! I couldn't get flash to work on anything.
I'm on Verizon and I just installed the Flash for Android 4.0 and this browser:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.android.browser
and Dolphin and both work just fine with Flash sites and the G2 has enough power to actually handle it. I have a feeling it would destroy battery life if used too much but for times when you need it, it's great to know it works, for now.
Not sure how many of you are Sprint users; but there was a software update released for the Sprint G2 last week that apparently (at least for my slightly disgusted experience) has REMOVED the flash capability from the built-in browser. Can anyone confirm?
Stock Browser KitKat
Verizon KitKat is missing stock browser, of course. Tried using the stock LG Browser from JellyBean, but it FC's. Does any variant have LG Browser on KitKat? If so, could someone please post the APK + ODEX files?
Good information.
