How to get mobile flash working to watch video clips.
 

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.:laughing6: 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.

Re: How to get Flash working on Android Froyo.
 

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

Maybe the devs can cook it into their next release.

Re: How to get Flash working on Android Froyo.
 

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.

Re: How to get Flash working on Android Froyo.
 

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.

Testing now...

thanks

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.

Re: How to get Flash working on Android Froyo.
 

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?

Re: How to get Flash working on Android Froyo.
 

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.

Re: How to get Flash working on Android Froyo.
 

noticed the same thing, and no flash is working.

Re: How to get Flash working on Android Froyo.
 

There's got to be a way like when you initially launch Andriod for it to not omitt folder /sdcard/AndroidApps , but I've been Googling to see if there is a way to turn off the omitt at least once so we can have it launch the Flash 10.1 installer on boot up and haven't found a solution. Somewhere I saw a thread where Reefermattness suggested going to Settings> Applications and enable Sideloading (however, I can't find that option anywhere in there). I've got "Unkown sources" check marked and I can manually install non-market stuff? IDK.....

Re: How to get Flash working on Android Froyo.
 

It installed for me, but it doesn't work. Browsed to a couple sites that have flash content and the flash portions didn't load.

Re: How to get Flash working on Android Froyo.
 

Check the size of the application under Settings> Applications> Manage applications> Adobe Flash 10.1. The couple times I tried to install it manually it would fail, but still show up as installed in this list with a size of 50KB (which is bogus since the APK is 3+MB).
Just FYI

For some reason I think the trick is to get it to install on boot up when less processes are running. Whenever I've tried to install it manually I would get a prompt about it being a system application.

Re: How to get Flash working on Android Froyo.
 

I can not play game with flash too all I can do is watch video clip and that is all.

Re: How to get Flash working on Android Froyo.
 

You are correct you can not install it on android it has to install on bootup. This flash player can only play video clip and that's it.

Re: How to get Flash working on Android Froyo.
 

I wasn't trying to play a game. I went to sites with flash banners and other similar items.

Re: How to get Flash working on Android Froyo.
 

OK, the adobe flash has it's limitations first off you can only watch in mobile browser mode. If you try to get it to work with desktop mode it will not work.

Secondly it only plays mobile video clips in mobile browser mode.

Thirdly it does not play HD quality videos. If you try to play a HD video you will see a blank screen. See if you can get it to work. Mostly importantly do not try to install it directly to your phone it will not work you have to copy the 3.75 MB file into your storage card and put it into the Andboot/Android Apps folder. Boot android and it will automatic install during the boot up. The is only a flash video clip player in mobile view. I hope this clears up any confusion.

I hope somebody else gets this to work too.

Re: How to get Flash working on Android Froyo.
 

I dont think Flash is really installed, a site like m.flash.com will not work, I do see it under installed application at 3.X mb , so even if the system reports that it is installed correctly , i dont really see it working... how did you test?

Re: How to get Flash working on Android Froyo.
 

Maybe change the title of the the thread to be more accurate?

Re: How to get Flash working on Android Froyo.
 

Try opening up a youtube or a yahoo video using the standard browser. Remember use the mobile browser and not the desktop browser.

Re: How to get mobile flash working to watch video clips.
 

Has flash worked for anybody else or am I the only person that has figured out how to get it to work on android froyo 2.2 on the touch pro 2.

Re: How to get mobile flash working to watch video clips.
 

I can not believe that I am the only person to get this program to work on the touch pro 2? How can this be???

Re: How to get mobile flash working to watch video clips.
 

like I said , it does show as Installed.. and i guess it "works" to view video on pages, but Im not sure that wasnt working without this.

Re: How to get mobile flash working to watch video clips.
 

I find it pointless to view video on webpages as most video sites have dedicated apps that you could just install and view the videos. Unless it would allow me to see other flash content, I just find it pointless.
