No and it's not likely. Flash is proprietary and closed source. They never released an armv6 variant. The only hope would be if lightspark of gnash came to android. However performance would be below par. There is the "flash-lite" that htc used in sense roms but it's tight to closely with the sense framework.
I agree. We'll never see flash work properly on this bad boy.

That really doesn't make any sense, the hero hasn't had android ported to it, It has had benhams .29 kernel and the now released froyo 2.2 source compiled for it. The only device with 2.2 is the nexus one so if anything it would be ported from that!
I wouldn't expect froyo to be compiled and working on the topaz as a usable os for a long time. The hero can hardly handle it without overclocking.

Bull****, Froyo is designed to be many times faster and as for the rest, there are only minor updates. The only thing i would expect is a BETTER os for topaz and other low-end devices.

Needs moved to Q&A

Agreed needs to be moved to Q & A section, but to answer your question there is only one base build of 2.2 right now the one that darchstar built from the ground up. So no sense 2.2 for the hero yet. But the evo is getting their 2.2 upgrade with sense so you never know, it could be on the horizon or it might not... Just gotta wait and see.
2.2 Sense has been released by HTC, if they can resize everything (xml and graphics) it should work, I don't know how all those resized icons will look, though.
What about sense from the incredible?

u guys r such n00bz . we can't port an htc evo rom cuz its optimized to run on snapdragon armv7 arch. it will never boot with those libs. our hopes for a 2.2 sense rom would be a froyo legend rom, or a froyo espresso rom, as those both have libs optimized for armv61/armv5te
We have to wait for it to come out on a platform similar to ours, with a arm v6 (iirc) processor. With the libs for the armv7 cpu, it would never work.
Maybe

No. But, I'm assuming a Wildfire port would be possible, when it gets a froyo update

Which is supposed to be pretty damn soon
I upgraded to it today Im kind of a noob but i did it and iv been looking and cant seem to find the answer. How can i get flash on my g1 that i just upgraded to 2.2 ?
No, nah, nada, uh-uh, nope, no way Jose, not a chance Lance, not going to happen, and my personal favorite, 'man falling off a cliff': NOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo....
lol is there any rom i can flash that supports adobe flash?

Flash doesn't work because it uses a native (non-portable) library which uses ARMv7 instructions. It can't run on older processors.

Hence the response "Don't worry bro, I'll add it with WinZIP!!"
HTC Sense ROMs include flash lite, but considering FL isn't usable on snapdragon devices, you really have no chance.
What about all those proof-of-concept videos showing flash running on G1 that popped up last year? Might it be possible to adapt one of those solutions?

The only possibility I see is with the 2.2 update for the slide. It has a newer version of the MSM7k proccessors, but should be mostly compatible. With it being the newest HTC for tmobile, I believe it will more then likely that flash be incorporated into the update. It would need the sense framework though.
Is it possible to get flash on it cuz I really want to put it on.
flash will not work on the Hero processor... there might be a possibility of flash lite.
o well then how come some roms have it then cuz i saw a rom and it said it had flash 10.1

I told you it wouldn't work on the Processor we had. Did you listen? No. I even had to text you from church this morning just to tell you.
dont listen to him..... recently we were able to make flash 10.1 work on our phones. but only on sense roms. we do not have it figured out on our froyo port yet. but zen-rom and NFX-hero and i think some other sense based roms have working flash 10.1

But isnt that only a tweak of flash lite, I've heard people say it is and it isnt, but I have yet to see the flash on sense perform the way it does on the evo, I'm pretty sure thats just flash lite. Adobe has already said that flash 10 was made for at least an ARM v7 (Cortex) processor.
edit: yes only on sense roms cause thats htc flash a.k.a. flash lite
No it is 10.1. Nfinitefx had to take the binarries out of 10.1 and put it in the flash lite apk to make it work. And since its not made for our phones it will not run as good as a nexus or evo. Maybe we could do some tweaking to get it to run smoother. But our current sense roms do infact have flash 10.1

Updates?
Any updates on Flash 10.1 for HTC Heros running CM6?
Is there any chance that cyanogenmod of coming for the SXL? I recently upgraded my device from my old Nexus s and am missing the features of CM7
You would be better sending a PM to Cyanogen and see if he has any plans for it, other then that its waiting on someone elses good grace to Port it but it might not quite be the same as it was (less Cyanogen releases it then itll be grand!)
Having spoke to Capychimp he says that a port of CM7, MIUI or even ICS will need a custom kernel. So until we can get someone working on that its not going to happen
isnt there some custom kernals from core droid and such?

Yeah there is a custom kernel for BinDroid, but that is like a heavily tweaked version of stock whereas CM7 is AOSP and therefore would need a completely different kernel, as I understand it... correct me if I'm wrong
ahhhh thanks for that
Do you have any idea on how long it would take for someone to make a new kernal?
For someone who knew what they were doing it probably wouldn't take that long, but most developers on here are supporting multiple devices and probably don't have the time to try it at the minute...
