Flash on Opera mini

I read that flash doesnt work on opera but i can access you tube which requires flash, it says underneath the video i need flash player yet it still works why is that?
I dont think opera mini would ever support flash.
After all, opera mini is not a real browser, but it shows prerendered on server pages/images. If it supports flash in the future, it will be something like Skyfire's flash support.
I would love to have decent flash 9/10 support on Opera Mobile 9.7 (including flash video and excluding the ugly flash positioning problems that occur now). That will be something much appreciated.

After all OperaMini is a fantastic browser.
Flash 10 was supposed to be supported soon, I remember reading this few weeks ago, by Microsoft.
I agree - that's the last element we really miss here.
OMini is kicking ass especially in slow data transfers, literally the speed is almost the same. But I doubt it will have flash....
OMobile is great only on high speeds but it eats so much data - and battery.
Anyway OM 9.7 with a real flash = amazing.
Yeah but my point is, why did it still play the you tube video even though it said i needed to instll flash 10

You need to have FlashLite 3.1 installed.
did it play within the opera mini browser or did it somehow opened the flv in an external player like.... coreplayer? otherwise, pass me the cab/jar fie of the opera version you have and i will try out

It always played this outside OM.
OMini Beta 5 and OperaMobile 9.7beta are available through Opera sites.
Opera mini sucks IMHO. Maybe version 5 will change that, but who knows?
I use Opera 9.5 and if a certain site crashes it, I use skyfire for it. CorePlayer handles YouTube videos perfectly.

Skyfire Browser Supporting Flash?

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to check how does skyfire allow playing of flash files?
I am watching videos on vimeo and youtube without a problem.... Its weird.... I thought this couldn't be done?
BTW I DO have Flash 10.1 installed on Captivate, but doesn't work on default browser, but everything else through their player does.....

Skyfire supposed to play flash with no need of anyother software to install & I have a major problem not playing any flash on it says "Web Kit Files" missing, any help please?
I'm having the same issues...
I installed flash for 2.1 and while it will most definitely load a game off addictinggames.com i can't tap any of the buttons.
I'm more interested in using it for firstrow.net so I can watch live soccer and baseball, but everytime I direct to that site the regular browser crashes (tries to load flash app) and skyfire gives me the flash 9 exclamtion point.
has anyone had any success withgetting flash to run on this thing? I wouldn't even mind if flash lite 4 ran on it just so long as it started the video. Skyfire will load vimeo but not any others....
I can't believe that everyone else in the entrie android 2.1 community is having zero issues, but I can't find a single thread about issues... the engadget video of the desire running the flash video is so tantalizing...I want the same :-(
just so everyone knows what I have installed, I gott he flash_for_21.apk from the zip file and it installed no issue. .swf files will play in the browser...but anything that has a vimeo, tube8, or regular old flash plugin will not load. the regular browser crashes every now and then and skyfire just refuses to load it (or it notifies that there is a video to watch, and it'll buffer and the video requiring a play click won't load)
help please?! I've got my captivate rooted, sideloading, and bloatware-free, flash is my final frontier!

That's odd, doesn't Skyfire use server-side rendering for flash and push it to the phone after compression? Just like on Windows Mobile?
I'd gotten flash videos to play on my Captivate using Skyfire, just not embedded in the page. I had to click on the little, "Video" tab on the bottom Skyfire menu and then it played.

Same here. Once I do that I can play flash video perfectly.
I can do that, but I'm much more interested in embedded flash working with browser or skyfire.
I have some more **shady** places that I can watch live sports from would be amazing if they worked

[Q] No flash on websites

On the most of sites online videos DONT works.
The browser after buffering starts... in some seconds crash... and tab goes to
home screen -(((
Pls help me?
Which browser?
Which rom?
Which sites?
Browser - internal
ROM - P1000NUBJM2
site - tnt-online dot ru
Have you tried different browser?
Have you updated Adobe Flash?
Considered a different rom?
What browser should i use ?
Flash - 10.2
ROM.... i have P1000N - so it`s just one ROM on samfirmware
Try skyfire. Its one of the best in flash based sites. Also Dolphin HD comes highly recommended.
If it's like on the P1000, just avoid any and all WebKit browsers until a fixed firware is released. This means "use Firefox, or Opera"
not so sure about Skyfire, as it advertises as WebKit, too.

Nothing wrong with the Webkit browsers if you are using a JMx build, though Opera is now my browser off preference.
Firefox doesn't support Flash at all, so rather defeats the OPs purpose.

Indeed, but considering he's got a different hardware, i just gave my suggestion. On jk5 WebKit was... Not broken, completely trashed
On jmi it works fine.
Firefox dosen't support flash? Didn't notice it, it's really a feature i can't care less. But hey, everybody has different needs.

I started to get embedded videos after a wile. They were not there when I bought my tab. Seems like it was doing it with every browser.
I just uninstalled flash and they started to load in the external player window again so I assume earlier versions of flash didn't embed the video. Sometimes I do have to download the video.. Oh wel..
I don't dislike flash but playing a choppy embedded video is no fun either. Not that it was always choppy.
My problem is solved after installing HymberOS From. Now its ISC. Everything works great on any browser.

[Q] Is there any browser or way to allow flash to play when it is in the background?

As a person who uses a browser to stream stuff as they browse it annoys the everliving hell out of me that no browser allows me to play flash when I'm not looking at it. Are there browsers that do allow flash to be played in the background? Or is it because I'm not using the android version of flash? (I'm using a custom version to allow hulu to play.) Is it CM7's fault?
If you can play flash in the background please tell me what browser you use, what kind of flash (market official or custom) and if you use cm7. I'm loving it over vegantab but ill go back if I have to...
Try dolphin browser

If you spend $800 on a moto xoom you will still have this problem. Go out and buy an ipad and you will still have this problem.
What you need is a multi-tasking rom. I think I've seen a video of that once. Can't remember what device.

While it may not be exactly what you want, you could use Pandora. I created a "Final Fantasy" channel and it played similar music as that site...and in the background, too.

Just download a second browser. Use one for browsing and the other for streaming.
Opera keeps flash playing when you are on other TABS in the browser at least. That is as good as it gets on android. Wait for windows 8...
I need the same except Uc,Brave,Firefox,X browsers.

[Q] Hardware Acceleration on stock web browser CM7?

Hi guys,
The official CM7 rom for our galaxy ace has the stock browser and it's super laggy in some webpages.
I searched google for a hardware acceleration ( wich is in the stock roms) and I didn't found it.
Anyone knows how to activate that hw acceleration?
Sorry for my bad english
change browser is the only solution possible for you
use opera mini, it does have HW acc, and compress data too.....
if you wanna full browser experience, then use opera mobile....
booth available at playstore
UCbrowser is the best android browser its the only browser that truely speeds up page loading give it a try it's definitely worth it.
