[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipPeake:
I have installed Rom Manager (paid version), and clicked the "Install ClockworkMod Recovery" button.

It asks for the device - selected Samsung S Captivate (which is what my phone is).

It asks for (and gets) root, pops up a message saying that it has downloaded ClockWorkMod Recovery, then seems to do nothing else.

If I then click on Backup Current ROM, it presents a name for the backup (date and time), then re-boots the phone into recovery.

No backup happens, and the recovery is the Samsung one.

So the installation of ClockworkMod Recovery seems to have failed.

Tried several more times - same result. Tried installing recovery a few times too.

Looked at the filestore -- the clockworkmod recovery download is there.

Deleted Rom Manager, re-installed - tried again - same results.

Any suggestions???
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack man:
First, you need to be rooted. If you are rooted already, when you get to the Samsung recovery, is it the 3e recovery? if so, you need to get around that first be reading here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=909213

Once you get around 3e recovery you can flash whatever you want. Report back, let us konw how it goes.

edit: oops, just noticed that you did say you have root when you mentioned you allowed root access for Rom Manager.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Reboot to Recovery and select "reinstall packages". --- u may have to do it twice, but then u should be in CWM Recovery... Unless u have the stock 3e recovery as stated above.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipPeake:
Ok - loaded the modified 3e recovery binary.

Seems to be working, because now when I boot into recovery I see:

-- Movi_check Start..||

checksum confirmation need_checksum[0]

Not need checksum confirmation

...

But still can't get clockworkmod recovery to load.

Tried loading an old version, followed by re-loading the current version.

Backup Current ROM ... and still see the Samsung recovery utils message,

and of course, no backup.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipPeake:
Ok -- lets try reinstall packages twice ...

Ok - that did it.

Thanks!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack man:
As said in the post above your last one, you do have to select Reinstall packages twice to get into CWM. Are you selecting it twice?

edit: just saw your post above. glad you got it working.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipPeake:
Ok - now some random questions (for my education):

First, any idea why it might take TWO re-installs of packages for things to work?

It always makes me a bit nervous when repeating an operation has different effects. Software is supposed to be deterministic!

Next, I assume that installing clockworkmod recovery just replaces the "recovery" binary in /system/bin (?).

If so, why didn't (couldn't?) I just get hold of a single binary and drop it into /system/bin in place of the standard recovery binary?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack man:
As far as the re-installing packages twice, you should only have to do that once. now when you reboot to recovery, or 3-button boot to recovery it should go right to CWM.

And I have no idea about the single binary thing. I just followed instructions as you did to get it working. Hahaha!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipPeake:
Honesty on a forum -- I like that! :-)

Just did a bit of poking around ... it doesn't replace the restore binary, looks like it uses that to load CWM -- if you issue a "reboot recovery" you end up in the standard recovery. If you run reboot into recovery from Rom Manager, you can see it loads the original recovery first, then jumps into CWM.

I suppose this is actually a good thing, because you always have the old recovery to fall back to.

Thanks a lot ... I would probably never have found the 3e restore replacement without that pointer.

Hey guys,

any of you managed to get flash player 10.1/2/3 going on your viewpad 7? I found this cracked apk file on the net call flashplayer for armv6. It installed OK(at least seemed to be) but didn't make actual difference to the device. I still can't play facebook games, still can't play web-based flash... I've tried with different web browers but none of them would work, very sad....:confused:

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] coolairG1:
I guess the CPU (600 MHz) and/or main board does not support Flash. It's the hardware, not Android.

I have installed few custom ROMs already so feel quite safe... if your install prior to custom ROM eq Clockworks recovery then even if you brick pad you can recover and load whatever ROM u want...

Flash? hmm Works overally only problem I see is flash-Video--> when you try to wach it there are some color artefacts(which makes picture weird you can see video but colors get weird) or as with justin.tv browser is closing up but flash games etc works fine(maybe little slow).

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] redpilleatr:
Gnash

The limitation is that the CPU only supports an ARMv6 instruction set, and closed-source Adobe Flash Player (tm) has been compiled for an ARMv7 instruction set. I do not see how a ROM update could solve that. Theoretically a ROM update could emulate an ARMv7 instruction set, but is that realistic for a platform that is mostly open source?

The more practical option would be to port Gnash to the Viewsonic devices. I cannot post links, but there is a page out there on how to build Gnash on android.

BTW, the thread is entitled "Viewpad 7", but it's also the same issue on the Viewsonic v350 smartphone.

Maybe this is a difference between Viewpad 7 and the v350 smartphone. I was able to install that 10.2 package you posted, without error, but it fails to render flash content on the v350. I went to a couple different flash testing pages, including the one on the adobe website. It displays a Lego-looking box (like the puzzle piece that used to appear years ago); it's as if flash was never installed.

ESPN goals

The video of footy goals actually plays well except for a message bang in the middle of the screen blocking the main action

it states

"Cannot play video

Sorry, this video cannot be played."

and closing this message also closes the playing video

I guess this is an app/software issue and as such modification is needed which is a shame

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] HarriedCoder:
Unable to use Adobe Flash

I have tried all the Flash APKs found on this site. None work - period. My Viewpad 7 is HWVer 107 and is in factory unmodified condition. If anyone is having success running any of these versions of Adobe Flash, it would be helpful to elaborate on both the ROM version and browser you are using. Any further information would be greatly appreciated.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
The core issues being that Vpad7 is based on ARMv6 CPU, which Adobe excluded when designing Flash Player 10.x development, so it really doesn't matter our hardware ver. is 106 or older, and newer ones v.107 - whether it's ITE touchscreen or not being irrelevant in this case. Java is installed along with Flash Player 10.1 or 10.2 - but it simply will NOT run.

Those with non-ITE hardware perhaps are luckier as their kernel can be over-clocked to run faster, so whatever workarounds or fixes can get it to run for them.

I have a HTC Eris with similar specs. and we had 10 times development work from XDA'ers, LOL, over what's dedicated here for the Vpad7, trying various patches to get it to run - and, still N.G. (no good.) The newer devices, like my HTC Incredible 2 with better specs - 1G CPU and add'l RAM - run Flash 10.1 out of the box - been rooted & running custom ROM to upgrade it to run better & faster.

Been uninstalling, re-installing both 10.1 and 10.2 - Dolphin HD browser & Skyfox browser plus the default ones - my summary: it simply won't do it. Moving on to other Apps that can be optimized, just my 2 cents. of course.

Cheers !

P.S. However, as long as I can watch YouTube on it like now, whether it's Flash 10.x or not, really doesn't matter to me (anyway.)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
Flash is working fine on my viewpad running EUViewpad7v1.7b. Haven't had any reports about it not working from anyone, except ITE hardware owners.

It's not 100% perfect, but it's a lot better then no flash at all.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] HarriedCoder:
Flashplayer on the Viewpad 7

@ Letitride & Amalgation – Thank you both for the feedback. My Viewpad 7 has ITE hardware, so I guess I can quite flogging a dead horse. It’s strange how this seems to work. I would have thought that any blocking of this browser addon would be initiated within Adobe Flash. One would think that once that barrier had been eliminated, that Flash would run on any ARM11 device. It seems strange that the change to the ITE touch screen would be a further barrier to running Flash. I think the device is capable of running Flash, as far as processor speed goes, and I think if it can run Froyo the instuction set should not be a limting factor. I would really like to understand Adobe’s reasoning in precluding this device from running Flash. It makes no sense to me.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Ejorne:
Flash works also on my device (non ITE) with EUViewpad7v1.7b.

I'd used 10.1 with other rom and it worked not that well. used it for the game/program kid-mode. Flash games loaded slowly and playing was almost not possible.

Now with 10.2 on EUViewpad7v1.7b it works fine!

/edit;

I think I'll stop posting on this forum. I cannot give reply in development where i'd wanted to post a tiny 'bug' in de EUViewpad7v1.7b rom. I think it's usefull to prevent spam and newbies but i keep bumping onto irritating 'rules'. sorry...

I know this is not the right place to discuss or mention this. And that these rules are also to prevent users to place things (like this) into the wrong place. But i needed to lose some frustation. Sorry again...
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
2 bad.. we could use more active users on this forum to leave comments about bugs they find so we can fix them. Maybe we can create a "spam your way to xda freedom thread" in general ?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Ejorne:
I mentioned it to Phoenix already at an other forum. It wasn't a bug it was just a minor appearance issue. The "more-menu" in programs, such as brwoser, is hard to read. Phoenix said it will be fixed in the next release of this superb rom.

:)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] redpilleatr:
Bingo.

Clock rate is unrelated. The v350 also runs an ARMv6 instruction set, but the stock clock rate exceeds the requirement. Yet the v350 still refuses the latest flash player. Getting this to work would presumably require emulating the ARMv7 instruction set.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] HarriedCoder:
Flash Player on the Viewpad 7

I was interested in this issue, having had the thought that I might be able to re-work a version of Adobe Flash to run on the Viewpad 7. It seems a more complex issue than originally thought. There are contributors who indicate they have Abobe Flash 10.2 running just fine on the EUViewpad7v1.7b ROM. Then there are those who report that Flash simply will not run on the ARMv6 CPU. Then we also have the ITE touch screen thrown into the mix. Talk about confusion.

I opened the “install_flash_player_10.2.157.340” APK to review the contents. In ” libflashplayer.so”. There is code relating to the ARMv6, having to do with a software H.264/AVC (Advanced Video Codec) decoder. How this would help with Flash, if the CPU can’t support Flash, eludes me.

I am impressed with my Viewpad 7. It does everthing I need it to do, and it does it very well. The only disappointment is the inability to run Flash content. I’ve given up on this venture because I can’t determine exactly what barrier exists that has to be overcome. I think the inability of the ARMv6 CPU to run Flash is more than likely the culprit, otherwise Viewsonic would have resolved this issue ages ago. Who knows, maybe Adobe and Qualcomm will come out with a version of Flash that will work on the ARMv6.

I'm in over my head with Android, so I'm just going to enjoy my Viewpad 7 pretending it’s the new 7” Apple iPad. If no Flash was good enough for Steve Jobs, It’s good enough for me. Thanks to all for their 2 cents on the matter.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] redpilleatr:
If you're motivated to put effort on this problem, you might consider making a Gnash package for Android. There is already a set of instructions for people build gnash for Android, but ideally it would be an install button in android market.

I personally would not want to volunteer my time toward a locked down closed source product like Adobe Flash Player (tm), which would create profit for a company that has a stranglehold on the community, who is not sharing their code with the community.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
+! Excellent point.

There is a 18 page thread discussing mods for Flash 10.1 and 10.2 for ARMv6 & v7 CPU devices, some aren't working while others are saying nice/acceptable/choppy results with their stock/custom ROMs - overclocked kernels & browser-specfic - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1155538 Have fun reading & experimenting, I've tried to do a little bit & draw the line in the sand, so to speak.

As long as I can play - without FC'd or crashes, etc. - Angry Birds on the go (hell, did that recently off & on a 6 hours transcon. flight) and can listen to music w. noise-cancelling headset, launch my preferred eReader, catch up on a few BBC and CNN video + news clip, write my travel logs in notepad and, at least play some of the posted YouTube videos, I really couldn't care less if it say Java + Adobe Flash installed (working) or not.

Otherwise, I feel really good on my choice for & like the Vpad7, values for what I paid for - it's NOT an iPad2, Zoom, Galaxy, etc. One can always dream & wish for - like, ICS; but, really, I will settle for a stable Honeycomb ROM. Cheers .... :)

Flash Player on the Viewpad 7

There has been a lot of development of Gnash. Unfortunately for us, none of it has been directed specifically at Android. While Android is based on the Linux kernel and Gnash is being developed to run on Unix-like systems, that alone will not let us run Gnash on our Viewpad 7. In the build matrix neither Android or the ARMv6 processor has been included in development. There are no experimental binary packages available for Android. The developers of Gnash have made great strides, but their focus is primarily with respect to Linux distros, although Windows does get a bit of a nod.

I’ve done the sensible thing and invested a few dollars for a Skyfire Video Licence.
