This is a Thread to get Adobe Flash working on your android Froyo phone.
1. Goto Settings/Application settings and check unknown sources. (Allow installation of non-Market Applications.
2. Download the com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk file either using windows mobile or your computer these have worked the best for me.
3. Copy the file on to your storage card/andboot/AndroidApps
4. Boot up Android and your done. Now go to youtube and try it out.

Please show your appreciation if I help you out today.

Thank you for reading my post.

Also I just want to know what you think about flash on Android Froyo. I personally think I works great. It works way better than Skyfire.

Thank you for this if it work! I'll d/l later and test.

Maybe the devs can cook it into their next release.

I think that is a great idea!!!! I hope they do it too. Please developers add the adobe flash file into your next android update.

Though it doesn't seem to be working for me.

I tried it a few times using the standard android browser and no flash comes through.

I am currently watching Yahoo Fantasy Football on Flash with the default android browser and I am loving it.

Kwiksilver what how did you install the adobe flash? Remember it does not work with the standard adobe flash test but. I does open up Flash content. Like I said I am currently watching Yahoo Fantasy Football on my android phone.

Are there any switches that I can put in Startup.txt that would allow the programs in the \ANDBOOT\AndroidApps to initiate installation on boot up of programs in that folder? I really don't want to have to delete my data.img in order to get this to work. I always notice now on boot up in HaRET that it says omitting \ANDBOOT\AndroidApps and \ANDBOT\AndroidApps\Games.

Youtube crashed my phone.. lol. Is there another flash site I can use to see if the above apk is working or not?

Maybe I need to find a way for it not to do that. Because I followed the directions in the OP and I tried a few sites with flash games or ads and got nothing.
