Why don't flash sites work on my hero anymore? - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I got my phone I was able to visit any flash site and also stream quite a few embedded videos but now nothing flash related works at all. How is this possible?
Sorry for posting in the wrong place. Oops

Give us more info please. Are you rooted? What ROM, kernel, apps installed, etc?

I flashed cyanogen 6.0 with RA armory 1.7. And then flashed Google apps and here I am. Sorry about the lack of info; didn't want to include to many irrelevant details.

Because the flash lite that allowed you to was part of sense and there is no sense in cm6

Ooooohh, ok thanks. That sucks. I guess ill settle with no flash though because this Tom is amazing

[ThinkTank] Full Flash on Vibrant?

Since the Samsung Vibrant browser has the ability to use plug-ins(like flash lite) would it be possible to Flash 10.1 in place of the flash lite plugin? Developers were able to do this with htc 2.1 phones(and fairly simply too), so it should be able to work on the Galaxy S devices, or any phone that accepts plugins really.
Any thoughts?

I was able to install the Flash 10.1 on my Vibrant and it works pretty good.
Haven't have any problems in loading any flash games or websites.
How were you able to do that? Is there a thread on this elsewhere, or is it something really simple? Please share lol.
+1 on the sharing how you did that. Adobe says its only available on the nx1 running 2.2.
^^^ I had the Adobe Flash APK for 2.1 since I had my HTC Evo.
You can find it here on the HTC Evo Forums or just send me a PM with your email and I'll send it to you.
I installed it on my Galaxy S since I got it.
I'm a noob here so I don't know how to post it here.
Here are a couple of pictures.
i did it as well. works great so far

I installed that flash for 2.1 from that other thread you posted the link too. It's not working for me, is there something else I need to do to configure it?

Any real dev wanna give us an answer? i know for a fact that the flash apk that they provided wont work. it only works on HTC devices. A dev needs to modify the apk so it acts as a plugin and installs in the right place.

The pictures I've seen posted here, could have been working using flash lite that's already installed... I can install it and have it show up in my apps list as installed, and still display things using flash light, but if you go to m.flash.com it will tell you that it's not working. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that the people that think this is working, it's not really. They are seeing stuff using flash lite.

Install "market enabler", I think your phone has to be rooted with super user access.

I believe newer versions of it are called "market access". You can get it here: http://amip.tools-for.net/android/MarketAccess
In the future, please put questions in the dedicated Q&A forum, and remember that the forums are searchable - there are already threads about this question that have been here nearly since release.

Sorry, apparently it's actually a fork.

market access doesn't alway work with every rom. I can be running an i9000 rom and still not be able to download some apps (Live Scores for example) when set to any of the other markets. I can install Eugene's rom based on the Vibrant and be able to download apps like Live Scores.

I use FroydVillain 1.7.2, but if you want speed, just flash flykernel 12 on your current ROM and it should be rapid.

There is a Radio thread in the dev section, where you can flash the newest radio versions. As to what it does.. im not entirely sure myself its supposed to improve phone reception i think.
But make sure you flash the correct type of radio... There is GSM or CMDA. Make sure u know which is the correct one for you!

[Q] rom manager won't flash cw or amon on g1

Hey guys I'm very new to all this, I just used the z4root (Permenent root) method on my g1 dream and I would like to try a new rom on it but for some reason rom manager will not flash clockwork mod recovery or amon on it, it keeps saying that an error has occured when trying to access special privileges or something like that. does is matter if I'm using the free version or not? and do I need to put a custome hboot or bootloader on the phone as well? I've been reading for the last two days through these forums and I'm really lost and confused on how to do this. I understand that I must flash the rom from the custom recovery but can I get to the recovery through the hboot/bootloader once the custom recovery is flashed? Please help anyone. I appreciate it.
Never used z4 so cant really help there but i do know that you need a custom recovery to flash anything. So the question is can you get a recovery flashed. Can you boot into the os and log in? if so maybe you can get a terminal from the market and flash amonra from there with the instructions in his op. Not sure but worth a try.
z4root dont work proplerly try unviersal androot
Cool, hey johnson8 I really appreciate your help...so you're saying that the z4root has something to do with my phone not being able to download three recovery?

If you have any questions i will try to help. After this is done you should be set up to run adb and fastboot commands from your pc.
Do everything in this guide except the recovery image. You will be doing that via ezterry's thread with amonra recovery. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck

Well for Cog 5 you will need to flash GB bootloaders. BUT the 3 steps on the OP will work. There some risk when flashing bootloaders, but read up on how to use ODIN and they key combinations, nothing to it =)
I dont know...i looked back on the dev page but i cant download anything since i dont have unknown sources. Ill dig around for a video or something.

If its stock, then its just getting CWM on that phone and flashing it. To get CWM theres a few ways to do that, simplest would be get a 1 click root from dev (AIO toolkit is very useful) and install Rom Manager from the market install CWM. Move the Cog zip file to your phones Internal SD reboot in recovery (Rom manager has the feature to do that) and flash from SD, look for the cog file.
