Custom ROM with working flash

**chino331** · #1 (**permalink**) 03-27-2009, 10:59 PM

I just changed from a TP to a Diamond, and on the TP I was using MightyROM and it had working flash. Since I got my Diamond, I have yet to flash a ROM that I could get flash working on. I tried Juicy's ROM, GrooveROM, MightyROM, Caulkulin's ROM... no luck in getting flash working in either PIE or Opera and I'm installing the Adobe Flash 3.1 cab and the Adobe 7 cab... Can anyone suggest a ROM that has flash working in it?

My ROM has flash built in.

I'm using a build of opera that doesn't have it enabled for stability reasons.

If you want to try it, go to http://everythingdiamond.info and try the Diamond 2 version.

Is there something specific that you want to use Flash to view? If its video, you may want to try the Skyfire browser to see if that works with what you're trying to view.

I finally found one that I was able to get flash working in - it's Juicy's ROM 4.4... Kind of weird how in the newer ROMs I couldn't get the flash working!

Flash worked great for me in Opera on Mighty's 4.6 rom. It was the fastest rendering I had seen on my diamond by far. Sadly Mighty seemed to have removed flash on 4.7

Thanks! I'm gonna try to find 4.7! Appreciate it! I prefer the newer sys and I hated going back to an older one!

Flash just isn't ready for prime time on these devices, yet. It seems to cause other issues, so most chefs are beginning to leave it out for now. At the moment, Skyfire is the browser of choice for viewing video.

I really never had a problem with flash in Opera when I got it working... I've tried Skyfire and I really don't like it... always had problems with it freezing up... maybe after further development yeah but not the way it is now. I've also tried Iris as well but I think that's worse than Skyfire lol

I agree that Skyfire isn't my choice for general browsing ... much prefer Opera or Opera Mini for quick stuff. That said, about the only video that can be seen with flash working on Opera or IE is Youtube. At least Skyfire will show just about everything there is out there ...
