Hi,
I'm looking for a way to play divx files in-browser, i.e. to stream video files from the internet and not to play downloaded .mp4s. I've tried several apps that are supposed to do that, such as moboplayer, MXPlayer etc., and none of them worked. Am I doing something wrong, or is it impossible to use this plugin in any way on android any more?
Device: US MZ604 on stock 4.1.2. I've tried the stock browser and chrome* so far
*which apparently now doesn't support any plugins anyway...
Welp, no replies eh well..
I may have solved this issue by downloading a newer version of Flash anyway. I say may have because while the plugin now works, it seems to be very slow to load anything. Frankly, I'm out of the time (and the data allowance) to test it thoroughly, but give me a few days and I may be able to call this solved. Later then...
OK, the plugin has been tested repeatedly now and, I am pleased to say, works! So the message is: if your version of flash isn't working, delete amd sideload another one. I presume everyone knows where to go for those ersatz updates by now, but if not the answer is of course a website like http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/apk or right here on this forum
So, we can call this thread SOLVED.

hi, i don't know this is the right forum. i used "read it later" heavily in winmo (thanks to vizier and his latereader) and am now switching to android. it seems that the read it later client paperdroid is no longer supported by the developer in froyo. has anyone able to make it work or do you think some of our talented developers can make it work again?
Will it not install? Will it not launch? Does it run but just not work?
it installs fine but crashes right away after launching.
You should use logcat or any other log capture app to see why it crashes. It would help finding out what's going on and if its possible to fix.
FYI, paperdroid is running fine for me on 2.2 on my evo... Aren't there a few options for read it later on android? I thought I saw a few different apps for it on the read it later site.

thanks for your responses. i will check again if it works or not (I tried several times already but if you got it working there may be hope). i will try logging the error reports also.
as for other ReadItLater clients, Paperdroid seems to be the only Android full RIL client. There seem to plugins for saving links etc.
Also, what phone do you have?
I have a HD2 and run Android off of the SD card. I don't know if that might be the problem.
I tried a different Android built and Paperdroid seems to work. So it's not a Froyo issue after all.
Thanks for all your replies.
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.

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
Usefull question thx
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. :/

Anyway to play streams with mx player or chromecast?
I tried the 14.2 and it keeps failing on final install I'll try to redownload the apk and see if its just a bad down load
Works decently so far. Don't have a tv that I can stream it to right now so I can't say anything about that. Easy to use. Like it.
Is there a theme that works for handsets since its hard typing
Absolutely love this!
I do have one irritating problem though...
I can't get movie info from any channels with this version.
It works on Windows, no problem.
I've been searching the internet for a solution but keep getting hit by suggestions regarding local files. Those actually work already. Any help appreciated!

TVMC already has its own thread on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/release-tvmc-custom-build-xbmc-android-t2904878

I'm having the exact same problem. Anyone know what I can do?
I am installing this on galaxy tab running android 5.0.2 lollipop (non-root). I am unable to make the pathsubstitution of thumbnail works. I think most probably because of the external sdcard restriction. Other apps will ask for permission to access sdcard by TVMC does not. Any plan to make TVMC works with external card?
Getting a 404, file not found for the file host of the APK.

EDIT : One time, Prime Video began to load a few images before it force closed.
First and foremost, I have tried searching to no avail. And the OP in this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/req-walmart-black-friday-tablet-lenovo-t3508508) doesn't seem to know, either. So I'm attempting to cast a wider net here. Thanks in advance.
I have a Lenovo Tab TB-X103F 10.1 inch tablet. It's a budget model that Wal-Mart was selling for real cheap earlier this year. (Only 1GB of RAM.) It originally shipped with Android Marshmallow, but in the months since, TWRP and Lineage OS 14.1 were ported to it. Lineage OS runs great. And even though there's some lag, it's not terrible. Overall a decent tablet.
Anyway, back when I was on the stock ROM, I loved using the tablet to watch Amazon Prime Video. But it doesn't seem to work for me since I installed Lineage OS. I'll install the Amazon Underground app. That works fine. I install the Amazon Prime Video app from there. When I open the app, it'll come up, look like it's trying to load something, and then close. All I get was that Prime Video has stopped. No error code. No way (as far as I know) to output some kind of log. Nothing that I can use to help diagnose this.
Oddly, the OP was able to get it to run on his system without a problem.
I've reinstalled newer builds of the OS with full wipes, even wiping user data. Everything else, including stuff like Youtube works fine, so I know it can still handle streaming video.
I've also uninstalled the app, reinstalled it, cleared the cache, cleared all data. Everything I can think of. I don't know why it refuses to work on my system, but the OP can still use it on his.
Even having Root (with and without Magisk) or no root has zero effect. Still get force closes.
Sorry this ran a bit long, but I hope you can help me figure this out. If you know of some way I can log this to aid in diagnosing the problem, please let me know.
Thanks very much in advance!
EDIT: Here's the logcat pull for this. It's long, and I can't make any sense of this, but I think the amazon prime video stuff is near the bottom. I opened the app multiple times ad let it shut down like it does to make sure I had the whole thing captured.
Hope someone can help. Thanks.
I can't upload the logcat.txt directly, as the uploader says its too big.
Here's a link to a version of it on Google Drive. Hope that will work...
EDIT: See bottom post for logcat file.
New Logcat file
Here's a new logcat file. This one is much shorter, and is directly linked. No google drive required.
I hope you can help with this. I've had no luck, and the OP for the rom can't seem to reproduce the error on his end. Frustrating.
Thank you in advance.
