Flash woes - Nook Color General

Alright Y'all, I've attempted searching for the thread for the past week. I can't find the HW accelerated flash apk anywhere. I've tried uninstalling the and reinstalling the markets flash 11. I just can't get flash to work on the nookcolor. Can anyone help me out? I'm now on nightly 211 an still have no working flash. My YouTube works though, but any web link or video in the Pulse app wont show up, or if it does it'll say no flashplayer installed. Flash 11 settings comes up w a get flash logo, and click on it and permission to access market denied?

try flash 10, works perfect on my nook cm7. Although I changed build to nexus s and got flash 10 I saw on my wifes unmodded build.prop she had 11
just tried hers and 11 is working. We are on nightly 208

BTW, you can get the Barnes & Nobile Flash 10.1 out of the stock ROM 1.3 archive in a thread in the android development forum. Just open it up in a archive problem (it's a zip file) and get the .apk out of the apps folder. You can easily install this on CM7.
Hardware acceleration is almost useless though. It is extremely picky about which videos will actually play in hardware because the Nook only plays some kinds of H.264 videos on its DSP. So there isn't a lot to gain by using an older version of Flash. Flash is just not a very efficient app and it is too much for the Nook a lot of the time.
Also, the versions prior to 10.3 don't properly let you select different video resolutions because the option box doesn't work right with a touch screen.

Ah. Thank you very much

Hulu for select Android 2.2 devices

Hulu has officially made it clear that they plan to release a Hulu app on Android "soon" to select android 2.2 devices. I am presuming this will not be released on our captivate because I don't believe it has DRM hardware.
Anyone think they will be able to crack this app when it comes out to get it onto our device?
This Hulu app will be the best thing since a youtube app!
Hopefully netflix will hurry up and give us an app, too. Unfortunately, it probably won't run on our device without some hacking because of the same DRM issue.

I think your forgetting about hulu+. Yours still gonna have to pay.
that'd be awesome if we can get this working along with the netflix app that's floating around here. I have both accounts so either one would suffice.

Here is a working version of Hulu. Make sure you go into Market and uncheck automatic updates of adobe flash player and DO NOT udpdate it.I cant remember where I found it but I have been running it for a while and works great.
1.Boot into Recovery (ClockworkMod). Flash the .zip and Reboot
2.Install Hulu.Apk...Enjoy
If you are having problems, uninstall Adobe Flash updates in the Market app and try again.
Thank you, Too bad they block Canadian IP's.
I've been streaming Hulu on my phone for a month now.

Has anyone tried this with CM7?
EDIT: DOES NOT WORK!!!!

Sets up a media server on your PC that lets you stream Hulu, Netflix and a huge assortment of other streaming websites directly to your phone over 3G (no wi-fi needed). It also allows you to stream videos off of your PC that you download to your phone as well. (Watched a few HD movies this way from my bedroom.)

I tried with those direction, i had Flash 10.2 installed while flashing the zip (unknowingly that it was 10.1) after that i rebooted and it got in a loop at the kernel screen, had to get back into recovery and flash my CM7 update.zip file to get it to boot again, after that i installed the hulu.apk which would work but nothing would play, just a blue brick. So i went to try and uninstall flash and it would not let me uninstall. I had to use Root explorer to delete the Flash_player.apk fro the /system/app folder. Then i could properly put flash 10.2 back on. With 10.2 the video tried to load, but said unsupported device..

[Q] Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 Flash Cannot play video

Ive been reading up on this for about 2 weeks now and decided to flash nookie-froyo-0.6.8.custom.3.zip. I got market and all the gapps to work fine but cant seem to get any youtube videos on my browser to work i keep getting the error - Cannot play video - Sorry, this video cannot be played.
Is this just an issue with nookiefroyo or is there a workaround. youtube from browser works just fine from my htc aria. Thanks
I'm having similar problems. Flash content works on some sites, but anytime that I try to watch a flash video, the browser crashes.
Anybody have advice?

Switch user agent from default (Android) to desktop.
Does Flash works on other websites? If it does not, backup Flash with Titanium Backup, uninstall, and then restore Flash.
Thanks for the reply!
I have dolphin hd. i downloaded the addon for this and still it doesnt work can you explain how to do this without dolphin, still with the addon it doesnt work thanks in advance
In Dolphin: Menu > More > Settings > User Agent > Desktop
Both times I installed nookie froyo, I have to uninstall flash, then reinstall from the market. This always fixes any issues I was having.
I'm having this problem with Firefox too. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Flash via Titanium Backup (this actually worked with Firefox on my Android phone), but Firefox still won't play Flash, acts like Flash isn't installed. The default browser does play Flash though.
Any other tricks other than uninstalling and reinstalling Flash? Firefox doesn't seem to have an option to change the agent.
Grab the Flash 10.2 that's floating around the forums. It is working great on my NC with the Customized Nookie Froyo 0.6.8.

iPlayer Issues Touchpad

Hi All,
Honestly I have searched for this everywhere.....
Can't get the iPlayer App to work. I'm running Milestone AOKP 4 at the moment as the TP came with this pre-installed from ebay. (ITV Sort of Works) Embedded flash also doesn't work and I am redirected to the flash site which says I have it....
I've also downloaded FlashPlayer 11 from the market but that doesn't seem to work. Can anybody help me?
I'm new to flashing with Mboot & ACME (Not really used either) But very comfortable with ROM Manager and CWM Recovery stuff)
Also whenever I go to youtube on the browser (stock / Chrome Beta) it force closes and I have to restart the app. YouTube App is working fine.
Is anyone else experiencing these issues? Is it recommended to move to CM9 Nightlies or Alpha2?

Try doing a wipe / factory delete, wipe dalvik cache and install the latest nightly.
There are many free apps in the market, like doubleTwist, that are great media players.
I don't use Chrome. Dolphin HD, Opera and icsbrowser+ are what I use. Some things that one can't do, one of the others can.
Your can flash using cwm, install zip from sdcard, but you won't have data. But if you have a backup, you can try and restore data using CWM advanced restore > restore data. That's what I do.
Good luck.
Edit: Boot into webos and make sure it's up to date. Should be 3.0.5. Also install the speed tweaks, preware and patches /kernels.
I didn't think the Web OS version mattered if you are running cm?

I guess the webOS version doesn't really matter if you only run android. But I use webOS quite a bit. It's a great os, you'll also find that the battery life is much, much better.

What about the community of the razr I?

Chrome problems
Ok so after reflashing AMBP rc2 over the top of matts homebake 31002 i can't install chrome on m xt890 GB. I did use 39001 to flashboot after getting flashboot failures from that sdcard modded img that was posted. So i'm thinking it has to be becasue of the updated 39001 radio which is now on my handset ( From what i know you can't revert this)
In google play for Chrome & google plus it is showing that device is not compatible, see attached screenshot
So after getting it to sideload (which doesn't always get through) upon loading I get
"Critical functionality required to run Chrome is missing; either your Chrome installation is incomplete, or not compatible with this version of Android" then FCs. At first look google plus seems to run ok once sideloaded.
So how can i fix it? Device id in build.prop looks the same as the stock info. Keen to get this resolved so i can use chrome again. Prefer to stay on AMBP but might have to try stock homebake or even 39001 again so i can get chrome running as i prefer it to ICS browser.
Thanks!
Al
Edit: Also should mention is shows incompatible on the PC browser google play too, so can't get it sent via there either. Is there 2 APKs one intel one arm? can i get a link for the intel one if so.
after looking into it, its caused by running a non standard DPI. I've got my hands on a work around and its all good. Nothing to do with certain builds on rom just DPI.

[Q] how to update?

I installed cm version 11-20141122 unofficial bok-hummingbird on my nook hd last week and it seems to be running pretty well overall. But I am unable to sing on the Kobo Android reader app. I have an account but I can't get to the sign on because it doesn't detect the internet connection, although wireless/internet is working fine with other apps. I though a cm upgrade might help for that issue, and I wanted to update in general if that is recommended. Can i do that from the tablet or do I have to copy a file onto the nook hd and install it, similar to how i installed this version? I couldn't see anyway to do this through the tablet settings. Finally, are there any developer options recommended to generally soup up performance? Thanks

Your on unofficial cm11. So updating won't be available in settings unless they made it available that way. (I assume that the official updates are disabled in settings or they could be flashed over the unofficial rom your on).
Unofficial roms may be downloaded the same as you did, downloaded through an app if supported, downloaded through the web browser, etc. Your choice how you do it.

Since you're running bokbokan's SD-based ROM build you'd need to look for and get the ROM update from bokbokan. When the update becomes available, just download the updated ROM zip file to your HD, then (re)-boot to CWM recovery to install the zip file.
