Will a rooted NC ever be able to play real Flash movies and games ( Flash 10.x ) Will it be doable whith Froyo ?? Flash and Java are the only 2 things that I still really crave for my NC.
Not with that attitude.
Real answer: ive little doubt that nookie froyo or cyanogen will make it happen and very soon.

Of course it will.
It's only been out for two months, and look at how far it has come.
The thing will be making me coffee by summer.
How do you define working? I can go to the about flash page from Dolphin HD on Nookie Froyo and it shows a valid version (10,1,61,68). UPDATE: Make that 1,1,106,15 from the Market update.

am I missing something?
are you asking weather or not the nook color can play flash videos in the browser like from Youtube or Ebaums world or sites like that? or do mean something else. because I got flash on my nook color. not flash lite but the full version. flash 10
I've had some success with Skyfire playing videos.
Yep, I never cared much for skyfire either and just wait until you go to a page/site just LOADED with videos...
I expect that flash will make it to the NC, but I'm not expecting it to be lag free with some things given the Galaxy Tab performance... my gTablet actually nearly runs flash almost as well as my notebook (P8600/4850 mobility(same as desktop @ lower clock))

Been a lurker for a while now. This is worthy of my first post. I found a flash 10.1 apk and it works. Not incredibly fast for flash games but it does work. I cant post links but I think you can figure it out.
getandroidstuff.com/2010/06/adobe-flash-101-full-support-for.html
Now I did not make this and don't know who did so use at your own risk. I have only been playing with it for a day and haven't seen any ill effects yet. All I know is it works.
" Android 2.2 comes with the new feature for full flash support. Here how it's work google just integrated a plugin called com.google.android.feature.GOOGLE_PLUGIN. And Flash uses it to embed itself inside browser. So browser in android 2.1 mobile phones does not see plugin. Now if you are owner of Android 2.1 or 2.0 smartphone then download the Adobe Flash 10.1 apk application below and get full flash support for your Android 2.1 or 2.0 mobiles.
BUT!There's another thing inside - a permission called android.webkit.permission.PLUGIN. It is already used by Flash Lite on HTC devices. So this app will replace the lite version of flash and will work with full feature.

Same here. I have since uninstalled, and I'm back.
The website speaks of this being for 2.1.
No wonder it doesn't work for a froyo rom.
The real question is when can we get flash on cm6 rc1???
I installed flash 10.1 from 4shared and after I tried it, i couldnt stay in the browser for long without it closing right back out.
I uninstalled it and it was fine.

currently the working adobe flash 10.1 release is primarily working only on devices bearing the "snapdragon" ARM processors... so when we're trying to force install this onto our devices it is either crashing, or not even allowing the install.
The flash 10.1 currently doesn't even allow the 1ghz hummingbird... its all a matter of time before a "general" release is going to be available. (i'm assuming)
I believe i've seen it said before and i quote;
"Adobe and Google working together to bring Flash player to a mobile device needs to be considered a "sensitive" port, unwelcome criticism on whether or not it will be necessary or whether this will start a revolution for future devices to follow depends on the ability to have Flash functioning flawlessly on the Android platform"
This means that all those Apple boys & gals who say "flash is pointless" yada yada... can't say "SEE THATS WHY FLASH IS USELESS" (implying that it will not work)
just my 2 pennies worth.

I didn't bother reading that whole post, primarily because I saw that you said that Flash wasn't pointless, but you are slightly incorrect.
The Slide's processor = ARM6
Requirement for Flash 10.1 = ARM7
IQ drop associated with mobile Flash = 72

Notice I said "snapdragon" and not just ARM, also flash in mobile is more of preference rather than necessity... hence the reason it can, or cannot be downloaded even with devices that are able to install it.
(and yes I do understand another reason for 3rd party install is to push updates without the need for a full firmware update)
Myself I personally like the idea of flash operating on a mobile device due to having my work email, which is primarily flash driven being able to access it with my personal phone. Using stock sense 2.1, I was able to do so, with Froyo on slide I'm unable to do so. (so back to the PC for me now)
So, as far as an IQ drop with the association of flash... if you have a mobile piece of software effecting your physical abilities then you really have a true issue, that needs immediate medical attention.
I just want to have the damn option of being able to use it.

I'm pretty sure Flash lite only works for sense
I think the only reason I would ever need full Flash support would be for Robot Unicorn Attack and maybe some physicsgames.net.
I still agree with the number one reason for people to have flash is for them to watch porn. Do not argue about the statment i just said, you and i both know its true.
But with the new info about higher-end phones soon to have divx support in the flash well thats just amazing. Of course without great service your pretty much screwed but say we had great service as well as the opportunity to use this feature wouldn't you take advantage of this at work on break and watch some movies and what not? I sure would.

You pervs stop the porn thing, that's probably the reason we don't get full flash!
And flash games?? Are you kidding!!! Don't waste time on those crappy-ass games!
There are many other reasongs why would we want full flash,
Has anyone thought of the streaming tv viewing channels ability! Or streams of radio stations, which some work over flash player 10.1
One could watch Live TV!!!
Think of the real benefits of flash.
Well, stock flash on 2.1 works with many sites with medium/small flash videos, but not Live Streams...
One of the reasongs why I won't flash a Froyo rom, I want Sense and Flash!
Just my opinion

It works great with most streaming websites.
Hi, have tried the stock 2.2.1 ROM, it wont play flash videos properly, i mean the audio stream is perfect however the video is very clunky..... at tyms frame changes after 2-3 seconds..... Please help me with the ROM which plays flash content on the browser perfectly......

i was kind of joking there, but to me the truth is there is no real rom available that plays flash videos properly, because you need to overclock to very high frequencies and the phone playing flash is like a toaster and the battery drain is absurd.
skyfire may not be the perfect solution but it works really well it gets the job done

No...skyfire does not play most of the flash videos on 2.1 roms. If you want to check this on 2.1 rom go to skifire and use the desktop as user agent and go to miniclip.com. nothing will work. or go to youtube and search for a video that is not available in mobile version. ex: eminem and rihanna love the way you lie official video from.
so dont tell me that skyfire works perfectly

I've seen (If my memory serves me correctly) Flash running extremely well on the Droid (first gen) which has identical HW to Milestone so I think official Froyo will be pretty good in this regard.

OS X yeah, Mac's tend to bake while running Flash. But I think the latest "Square" beta adds HW acceleration to fix this.
My Galaxy S runs flash fine on a good ROM, and Nexus/Desire/Incredible/EVO/DesireZ/Desire HD & Droid2/DroidX all handle it fine.

Actually I can confirm a 2.2 release.
Engadget:
"And, thankfully, there might be a much easier way coming, with Barnes & Noble reportedly telling Smartphone Mag that Android 2.2 will be officially coming to the Nook Color in January. Yes, Android 2.3 is what's happening, but this is still an exciting upgrade as it will finally also allow access to a traditional Android home screen and even enable the Android Market."
But in the same article, it says that froyo has already been hacked on...

Relatively speaking the development on the NC has been quite active given the low user base, and short amount of time it has been on the scene.

getting 2.2 doesn't necessarily mean nook will support flash. I have a feeling it won't be fully supported and may be like the archos with choppy flash playback.
but will be interesting to see what happens.
i think people need to realize that the device is meant to be an ereader and I don't think B&N is going to spend money to make the device into a tablet.
Well flash has already been proven to work based on the 2.2 build here.
While it may not be completely smooth, it will be useful for sure.
My netbook doesn't even run flash video completely smooth either but its perfectly acceptable.
flash 10.1 on nook color? possible?
Yeah if you take a look at the nook devs site they have a how to up on how to root it then add Flash goodness to it as well as market and whatever else your heart desires, you just have to come to the dark side and void your warranty. but its okay we have cookies.
Is there a froyo Rom that is flashable through clock
workmod that is customized to include flash and market etc. Don't really care for nook software
Yeah it really comes down to how much of the nook do you want to keep. That is really the question.

Hulu isn't available outside of the USA so I can't test it. Other flash video sites load for me though. Videos start with about 5 seconds of skipped frames while it seems that flash is loading/buffering and then it's smooth from that point on. Audio is not exactly synced with the video though, so when people in a video open their mouths the sound doesn't come until a split second after. It's not perfect but still watchable.
Has anyone gotten the "new" game that just came out called "Spectral Souls" to run on their NookCOlor ?
It is in the market and cost $14.00, but it is supose to be the best SRGP game out yet for the Android. It is BIG ... you download the .apk which is only a few kb's , but then when you install it downloads another 1.5Gigs of game data.
Anyways ... I don't want to pay for this game unless I know it works on the nook. I have heard verying reports. Has anyone tested it yet ?
Thanks
It should. The game support high resolution. I haven't tried it because the game take up 1.5gb of space which can be used for better apps/game. There emulators with RPG games.

I have this game running on my device without any problems. I am running the stock Eclair (Android 2.1) with B&N 1.1.0 firmware (rooted, of course), with 1.1ghz overclock kernel. No problems downloading and installing from the Market. The game downloaded its 1gb data when I first tried to run the game, then worked just fine. It did download its 1gb data chunk again after I rebooted my Nook (for other reasons...unrelated to this game), but my saved game was still there and loaded just fine. I have since rebooted the device again, and this time the game ran fine and did not download the data again.
I have seen reports of some people not being able to play this game on their devices. Not sure if it is a Froyo or Honeycomb issue, but it seems to work well on the stock Eclair.
Don't know if it matters, but I used the pre-rooted, Clockwork flashable B&N 1.1.0 firmware from here when I upgraded from 1.0.1 to 1.1.0:
