So I have a rooted sprint hero with cm7 nightly 39. I know the ARMv6 processor can't handle a full flash player and the hero was equipped with flash lite stock. I'm wondering if there's any way to get flashlite working with cm7. I've tried many apks and plugins and zips with noluck. Also I don't have a computer so I need to be able to do it right on the handset. Any help?
AFAIK Flash Lite only works in Sense ROMs.
^^^This is my understanding as well^^^
So I'm pretty much out of luck with getting any sort of flash player to work with cm7 then
if so, any suggestions on a good rom that will?

Try downloading different web browsers from the Market. My understanding is that different web browsers have different abilities for Flash.
Pure excellence, thank you very much was just about to flash a different rom untilled I tried skyfire. Solved a lot. Thanks again.

Is there any downloads that allow adobe flash?
It's supported in the Hero (sense UI) builds. There is no seperate download, it will not install on the stock kernel.

I am a bit confused by your reply.So does that mean I pretty much cannot view any videos supported by flash?

it means if you want to view flash content...flash a hero rom onto your phone..but im pretty sure flash is gonna be released for the unhero phones as well
Just to complete... there's also a app to read flash but is not built-in to the browser.. is like an avi reader, that is a flash (*.swf) reader.. That's what you can have until October.. HTC will deliver the goodies, or someone will do it, so they can release it officially
As I've already stated. Flash will not install on the stock kernel, it is dependent on the highly modified HTC kernel.

I have been using cyanogen for a while and want to get into eclair.
I have seen that there are 2 that interest me, KiNgxKxlicK and openEclair. What are the differences/benefits from one another.
Will my current apps work fine with these or will i have to wipe ext and reinstall them?
Chris
As much as I would love to stay with OpenEclair because of their "popularity", Kings Eclair ROMs have always felt smoother to me(and as of now, his includes Live Wallpapers).

You are going to have to wipe. Both roms are really good. Openeclair is having some issues with the included live wallpapers but the ones from the market work. Just remember, there are no drivers for video in eclair so most video won't work.
My suggestion for your apps is to back up the ext first then use "droid explorer" to batch reinstall.
Wow, this ROM works great. But i think i will stay with Cyanogen for now. I cant bear not having fast games and 3d stuff.
Anyone know when the hardware drivers are going to be released?

is there an adobe flash apk floating around for the Hero? I rooted my friends Hero with Cyan 6.0 and now updating to 6.1 and he wasnt happy that he couldnt play some videos since it had the HTC flash player. I noticed that the adobe flash player app is not on the market. I searched and didnt find. I rock an N1 so im not up to speed on things for the hero. If someone could link me or point me in the right direction i would appreciate it.

there isn't flash for the hero, 10.1 won't run on our armv6 processors, there are some roms which contain flash 10.1 lite, but as for an apk, couldn't help you. with the lite version, check around in some of the roms, or tell your friend to check... good luck.

inb4 any flash related argument. Specifically the 10.1 lite vs 10.1 full debate on nfx's rom.
thanks fellas, ill check some other ROMs out
Hey, I'm very new to android, all this rooting, custom roms etc. Anyways. I installed this ROM. (FROYO_2.2.1_Final_Android_Stock). And, I thought that Froyo 2.2.1 has Flash 10.1 by default, but it didn't, so I thought, hmm, I'll get it from market. But, it's not in the market. Could anyone of you help? I found an .apk, but when I installed it, it kept crashing my browser. Also, a question: Is the ROM I have the best one? In terms of speed, compatibility and app support? Or are there better ones?
EDIT: I pretty much need the Flash player only for watching streams - Livestream, UStream, JustinTV, Own3d.tv, ESL TV.

you can't get a stock froyo ROM with 10.1 as far as I know, however, ther chocolatefroyo ROM does have 10.1 running, but it has a camera bug which stops that from working. For now, you will have to choose between camera and flash.

There is no 'best' ROM, but it definitely isnt the stock one... I am running FroydVillain and I love it
The full Flash 10.1 is not possible on the Hero, the nearest you can get is Flash Lite which is only part of Sense ROMs. I'm not sure what its limitations are but you're best to just take a stable Sense ROM and find out, then see if it suits your needs.
Hi, My friend has a rooted hero and we want to put Flash Player on it.
Since, it is not available on the market, we installed from an APK that I pulled from my evo.
It installed without a problem, but the phone's browser still will not play flash videos.
I tried copying the library file to the hero, but that did not work either.
I understand that the processor(Arm6) on the hero is not designed to support it officially.
Is there a way to put flash on the CDMA Htc Hero?
Thanks!
well if the processor isn't designed to support flash, then it is most likely for us to not have flash on our hero imo. I haven't seen anyone have flash, my only opinion is try to use skyfire.
+1 skyfire FTW. Flash will not work on our heros. 2.1 sense had flash lite but that's it...

this is the closest we will probably ever get
true flash will never be on the hero 10.1 was made for arm7 processors and above now theres a couple modded 2.1 roms and froyo sense roms that have 10.1 in them but its it dosnt really work well because they need the htc flash lite apk to run, and its really buggy.
btw please read before u post something like this there litteraly a million threads in q/a general and themes and apps asking for this.

I figured it would have been, but try mentioning the word "flash" in a search and all you get is flashing roms, recovery, etc.
But I understand where you are coming from.

Go to the Wiki Section and Select Cdma Hero, Next Scroll down to 2.2 Sense Roms and Download the SenseFroyoV8.1 or 8.5 version. Install that and it has FlashLite Capabilities which Work Decent enough for me!
Good Luck!
