[Q] Flash not working on CM07

Hello XDA, this is my first post, as searching has answered all my questions until now.
I installed cm07 builds 13 and 14 several times over the last two days and can't seem to get flashplayer to work. I uninstalled and reinstalled it several times. I've gone as far as to completely formatting my internals before reinstalling and nothing is working. I'm currently running cm07 build 14 with dalingrin's kernal. I appreciate any help.

Anybody? Please.....

Im still running Nightly 8 but as Far as I know Flash is working perfectly for CM7 on all builds of it.
What are you trying to do? what website are you going to and what browser are you using?

I had same problem
Used root explorer, set data/app to rw and renamed flash.apk to flash.apk.bak
Rebooted, downloaded flash from market
It works now

Thanks for the responses.
I just tried renaming rebooting and downloading and it didn't help.
When I go to www YouTube com and click on a video, I always get the same error message: cannot play video. It does it on both HQ and standard video.
Not sure what else it can be other than flashplayer. It used to work fine on Nookie Froyo ...

I was under the impression that flash not working on CM7 was a known issue that they were working on. I would imagine it will be fixed in a matter of days.

Not from everything I've read. Flash is supposed to work and apps like YouTube are are the ones they are working on.

Flash works in browser only. My experience is that it is a little choppy for video though.

Download dolphin HD and then download desktop toggles for dolphin enable desktop mode then go to YouTube.

Ok, I'm a newb. I changed YouTube to desktop setting and it worked. Hopefully someone can learn from my newbness! Thanks for the help Ry!

I used Browser, went to www.youtube.com and it automatically changed it to mobile. Finally, I found a setting marked Desktop and the result was typeface that required an electron microscope to read (even zooming did not help much).
I found a video and the result was "You need to install Flash 10.1" and a link to do which required the world's smallest finger not to click on the ad right below.
Finally got it installed and Flash works in Youtube Desktop in Browser, but video still does not work in Youtube Android App

you got it. youtube app does not work with cm7 yet because they do not have hardware video acceleration working. I think this is posted at least 1000 times
an easier way to get flash is to download it from the market.

[Q] Anybody still using stock browser?

Am I the only one who just doesn't find any of the other browsers to be worth using?
and before everyone tells me to try Opera, I don't get why everyone likes it.
To me, it looks sloppy and unorganized and I don't see an advantage over webkit.

No, you are not the only one. I used Opera and Dolphin previously, and after flashing multiple ROMs, I find that the stock browser does everything I want and need just as good as Dolphin or Opera.

I've tried several browsers, but the stock browser is just fine for my uses.
Stock is less bloated too.

i'm still waiting for my first android tablet thus cannot provide an answer, but what problem does the stock browser have? I guess it must be pretty good being probably I guess (?) a derivative from google's chrome, or not?

I use dolphin hd because of bookmarks to sd and lastpass plugins.

I have been experimenting with all the others, I just keep going back to the stock browser--It just Works!
I am playing around with Firefox now.

I like the stock browser but the ability to Titanium Backup a 3rd party browser 100% intact with all my bookmarks, settings, saved browsing history, passwords etc if I need to wipe and re-flash Android is extremely helpful.
Along with whatever features using a 3rd party browser brings, this simple ability alone makes it worth it for me to use another browser.
I know you can use Titanium Backup with the Android apps but that it can also cause instability and other issues, so that's why I don't do it.

I mostly favor the stock browser too. I can't stand Opera, it's fast but the text rendering is terrible and the interface is sloppy. I've been using Dolphin Mini over the past few days and so far I'm liking it, but I'm not about to commit to it by removing the stock browser.
Stock does do pretty much everything with no fuss, but I'll say Dolphin Mini's interface is clean and the tabs are nice. I can't afford to give up the screen space for tabs on my phone's 4 inch display, but it's not an issue on the Nook.
I've tried a bunch of other browsers as well, and so far Dolphin Mini is the only contender to replace stock.

Unless I'm missing some setting, I feel like tabbed browsing is very poorly implemented in the stock browser. Its an easy enough fix to add it to the address bar so that you don't have to click through menus.
Opera and Dolphin HD also feel (subjectively) faster to me. Dolphin HD has gestures which is nice...especially the page up and page down.
Being able to jump to the top of a page by taping the top of the screen like in Safari iOS would be nice. Scrolling is kind of a pain in the but on all of the Android browsers I'd tried.

I have Dolphin HD as a secondary browser but I still think stock is so much cleaner.

I use Opera and love it. To be fair, I never really gave the stock one much of a shot because I didn't see an easy way to use tabs (which apparently, there is.)
Opera's UI though is great IMO and it is pretty damn fast. That and syncing with my desktop is nice.

Where is the option for tabs in the stock browser?

Nope. The stock browser for Android < 3.0 does not have tabs. Only in Honeycomb.

Didn't think so, someone said something so I had to make sure.
Is there any way to port the Honeycomb browser over by any chance?

The stock browser can be set to a number of different user agents, including linux desktop and mac desktop, and ie6 (shudder).

I'm using Mac desktop, liking it personally although most differences are subtle at best.

The stock browser is my favourite too. The rest have all the bells and whistles that I don't need, which clutter up the space. If I need to access more than one website ata time, I just open another window.
Good to know I'm not the only one.

Did you mean it refreshes pages when you switch to other apps?
That happens when it gets killed. if your VM heap size is set to 48 try lowering it to 32. This helps a lot.

Opera is easily the smoothest and best performing.. But I refuse to use it as a primary... They neglect time and time again to add one simple feature and never do.
DISABLE PAGE OVERVIEW.. It's so god damn annoying having to zoom in every time you load a page or refresh one.

remove this post please

Yes thats exactly what it does. boat browser mini is the only one that doesnt do that. but it is way too choppy
WHat browser do you use as your main? ^^

I always use Miren. I've tried every browser and this is far and away my favorite.

I only use Opera, I've even frozen the stock browser with titanium.
About that problem where opera gets killed, that happens if minfree values are very aggressive.
Use root explorer to go to /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters and edit the minfree file there
Replace the values there with these:
1536,2048,4096,5120,8192,10240
That should hopefully solve the problem.

Many thanks I'll try it now

emmc music, use doubletwist, or similar to fix for now, no true hw acceleration, and a popup when downloading from market about file size.

Hmmm ok I'll try it out, hopefully the calendar shows this time. I tried the MIUI.us one and didn't have a calendar

i've been working on that, it's been a lingering issue. but on my last 4 boots with install it's been there.

Just loaded it on and everything works as it should. Even put Apex on so now I have either MIUI launcher or stock launcher!
Although I'm having problems with root permission and the keyboard doesn't do as well as correcting like the AOKP ICS build
**Sorry didn't see the post about the SU flash...I'll try that**

Just thought I would put out my findings so far on this version:
Cons:
- After putting on the SU flash it seems to have helped with the root permissions. Root Explorer crashes on me when I open it, it asked for root permission and this FC's.
- The keyboard doesn't recognize words like the typical ICS keyboard does and puts the red line under normal words that you would use. Even changing keyboards it still does it in the messaging apps and things. Not sure if it's a translation thing or what. Like in notes I have "one call for scheduling" for some notes I took and all four of those words have red lines under them.
- Notes and a few other things aren't translated to English, still is in Chinese even though I have English set as the language.
- Autobrightness doesn't seem to work the best, it stays pretty dim after the screen goes off and back on.
Pros:
- Battery life seems to be good but I haven't charged completely to test, I just charged a light charge and has stayed at the battery level for about a hour now and I have used it slightly so it does appear that it's good.
- Not really by your doing but it's nice being able to use the Apex launcher with the MIUI launcher so you could have the vanilla ICS look as well as MIUI look without changing roms.
- Gallery works fine on my end as well as the external music files. Doesn't read the internal but that's already posted I believe.
Hope that's not to long of a post and provides some good feedback, Calendar showed up this time on this flash and everything else seems to be working like it should

Is the fixed ROM a flashover and is there a way to get rid of the "download size requires WI-fi"?

Hey Mark, loving this rom so far. Seems really solid and am looking forward to the next update.
Was the 1x4 miui music widget removed? I'm only seeing the 4x4. Any way to get that back?
Just rembered: the Facebook sync, under accounts and sync, doesn't work. When you choose it, it just returns you to the account list.

If the widget was removed it was because of china, we should see it again soon though. This week they reintroduced their "custom music" app. For facebook sync, ICS removed it, you will need to download an app from market, i use http://tinyurl.com/7snt9sw from market. It syncs all contacts and pictures. Just add account from settings>accounts and sync

Port default browser to ICS phone?

I love the stock browser in CM9 on the Touchpad. The side swipe controls and the way it handles tabs is just awesome. Why this isn't part of Chrome mobile I can't figure out, the controls are perfection in my opinion.
Can I take the .apk and put it on my ICS phone and it work? It's an HTC Amaze, T-Mobile, rooted of course. Anything else I'd need to copy over ? Any chance this works or is this a pipe dream?
Thanks as always XDA world for your thoughts and suggestions.

xScope browser apk it has tabs and swype left to see previous pages. There is also a pro version in market.

Awesome, I'll check it out. I've tried a ton of the browsers, but never heard of this one. Thanks for the heads up.

Stock ICS browser is the same on all devices running ICS.
Sent from my aokp_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2

Well, that's not entirely true. My HTC Amaze has a stock browser with the filename "browser.apk", but it doesn't look or work anything like the stock browser in CM9, it kind of sucks. Most importantly it is missing the awesome side-swipe function buttons from the CM9 version, which I like quite a bit. And like Chrome, it can sync in your desktop bookmarks. Also, Chrome mobile sucks on this phone, very buggy.
I went ahead and tried using the CM9 stock browser in place of the stock browser in the HTC ICS version, it worked well and I can't find any issues.
Here is what I did:
- On the Amaze I renamed "browser.apk" to "!browser.apk!"
- I copied the "browser.apk" file from my Touchpad into \system\apps
- Reboot and done
Works fine as far as I can tell.... but I don't know if this broke something somewhere else that I'm not aware of yet.
