OK lets be even more honest, unfortunately Apples marketing and quality devices have managed to generated enough market share so every site which cares about high volume traffic has had to switch their videos player to HTML5. Without the demand for flash adobe cannot afford to keep developing it for mobile devices, I actually see it as a win win situation as I also own an iPad.

Everybody on these forums should see this as the way forward, we all love our open source android and the ability to do what we want with it and HTML 5 gives web developers to create some really cool video players that can now be played on all devices regardless of OS.

The reason why I like android over IOS is the flexibility and customisation, if the sites you go to don't yet support HTML5 or have a mobile friendly version they need some new web developers.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] md2:
Quite a lot of indie game developers use flash. Also there's a surprising amount of sites out there that use flash, as people have said many stories on the BBC News site have flash videos. I was also looking for game walkthroughs and the site used flash for walkthrough videos.

Still, it's probably early days to support it on this device, someone will probably hack it on there even if adobe dont.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joeyklatzko:
Flash isn't an issue...once other phones get the ICS upgrade they'll be in the same boat. Can't stay on Gingerbread forever just because of Flash support. If Adobe doesn't upgrade their app then **** it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GoBears:
Just because Adobe is no longer updating flash, it's very far from dead on the web. I personally watch a lot of sports on my phone and they are almost all flash. If this phone is so open it should be my damn choice if I want to view flash or not. My bionic breezes through flash site videos so enough about the resource hog crap. These phones can play flash without breaking a sweat.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DammitCubs:
its you didn't know what a google galaxy nexus was in the first place.

it's like eating that piece of meat you knew was in your fridge too long. We all want it for 2 things: 720p screen, and ICS.

8megapixels can blow me. Zero Shutter lag FTW!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobbyphoenix:
Google made a statement about this. They said ICS is so new that it will take a bit to make Flash compatible. They have all intents with Adobe to make Flash work with ICS. Adobe won't make new versions (meaning they won't add new features or make it better), but they will make security patches, and fix bugs. This is actually a bug that it won't work with ICS. They are working on it. Google it for more info. In the meantime you can use Skyfire browser. It converts 100% of all Flash videos to HTML5 for viewing if you really need to watch videos (like me).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hunteres:
thanks for making the things clear. so what you saying is that i can watch movies online and all the content as before with skyfire? does it have any side effect? like slow loading or not sync sound with pics?

and

+1 for failing in flash support. i like watching simpsons online + my favourite TV series while i am on train or waiting for bus even.

+1 also a bit or porn here :) just to be honest.

this is a big let down for me

and maybe a big step back! thats why i went for andoird a while a go. mainly because of flash support!!

lack of sd card slot and now this.

i am now confused a bit! no flash/no fun
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
It's not really a bug, it's porting an existing version to a new platform (well, it might be a bug if the reason it doesn't work on the new platform is because it didn't respect an abstraction barrier on the old one). I'm not sure what Adobe's stance is on porting mobile Flash to new platforms. Does anyone know if they said anything about that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LordGrahf:
People too fixated on porn when discussing flash like its the only use for it. Yeah porn is a big part, but there's also streaming live events, mainly sports. Almost all of those shady websites that stream live games use flash.

Glad to see they plan to support flash on ICS. it's one of the main reasons I'm dumping my iPhone for an android device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] appelflap:
Thanks for the heads up. I just couldn't believe Android would drop flash support. Almost all Android tablet makers use flash support to differentiate themselves from the ipad. Since the new tablets will also run ICS (and probably a few old ones will be updated with it), stopping to support flash would be a commercial contradiction.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Yeah it is not Androids fault. Android did not drop Flash support. Flash dropped mobile support. But Adobe did say that they will release a version of Flash that works on Ice Cream Sandwich. It's just not available yet.

I don't care either way though, I turned off Flash as the first thing on my HTC Desire.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] appelflap:
Btw so much reasons why I didn't brought back the Galaxy Nexus. A. ICS is incredibly fast. It feels so snappy that it almost feels like a entire new operating system (not just a version upgrade). B. Clever usability redesign. Operating the OS and apps is a lot more intuitive. C. Idiosyncratic improvement of the browser webkit... pages loads almost as fast as on a desktop computer. (See http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-4.0-highlights.html for some benchmarks) D. Design of the Nexus. E. Face recognition. Fast way to unlock the device without all the hassle. Yes, it is not the most secure lock. But I don't think that's the point. The point is having a lock screen that prevents the phone from activiting while accidently turned on it the pocket, but still act as "unlocked" when turning the device on while having your face in front of it... (the procedure is incredibly fast) F. Etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] appelflap:
Flash isn't important for me neither. But I hate to visit sites that aren't displayed as intended. Sometimes it's very confusing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] C64c:
Personally I think it would be better to watch porn on your computer with tissues to hand and a greased out toilet roll :-P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobbyphoenix:
The only downside I came across is it loads after the page loads. Meaning there is a feeling of removal from the actual website. Also I can't skip ahead or back. I don't know if it's me or the browser. But at least videos can still be watched. I think it's a great start in any thinking. I hope others will do the same. Adobe is way off here. At least have an alternative ready BEFORE stopping Flash support.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wurzelsepp3:
When did Adobe say that? Do you have a link?

Flash is kind of important for me too.

-Watching my favorite TV shows on the go (we don't have anything like netflix in my country)

-Watching sport Livestreams on the go

-There are some Youtube videos that are "not available for mobile", without flash it's not possible to view them.

-Some sites that require flash, for example my local Cinema which uses a flash based website for seat reservations.

I don't understand why Adobe drops mobile flash now that devices are powerful enough to play it perfectly.

Hell, the Galaxy S2 even plays 1080p fluently. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
http://techleash.com/2011/11/no-adobe-flash-player-for-android-ice-cream-sandwich-google-confirms/

Recently, Google officials confirmed that in the Android Market, no version of Adobe Flash Player is available yet for Ice Cream Sandwich and this situation will maintain until Adobe will release a Flash version compatible with ICS and installing any older version is not an option.

The official statement hinted also that Adobe would prefer to stop the developing of Flash Player in the browser to work with new mobile device configurations after the upcoming release of Flash Player 11.1 for Android and BlackBerry PlayBook. However, the company will continue to provide bug fixes and security updates. So, Flash Player 12 will focus on HTML5 standards.

In other words, Flash will be made ICS compatible. Adobe didn't abandon Flash for Mobile, they will just push for HTML5 to become the new standard.

[HTC Sensation] doc2142:
Before I say anything about my problem, I want to say this is a great forum after reading few threads people here seem helpful and overall a great community.

Now, onto the problem. I got a Sensation few days ago for T-Mobile USA. I wanted arabic support on it so I installed a new rom (cyanogenmod). I followed guides on here. Everything was good. It was fast, and everything was perfect. Except when I went out I noticed my internet wasn't working.

I have full signal, i see the H with up and down arrow (assuming this means HSPA+) however, when ever I try to do anything on the internet I get connection error. So I looked around and I found out you can update the radio. I did that to the latest one. I believe I got it from this forum. After updating I still experience the same issue. I see the H on top of my screen but no connection.

What can I do here?

Btw I am a noob at everything so please try and keep the terms to a newbie level and any links where to download any files you suggest would be much appreciated. Also, the HSPA+ or 4G was working before I installed this rom.

download the matching RIL for the Radio you downloaded (Example. The one in my signature uses HTC-RIL 2.2.0169HMQ. It will tell you in that thread what radio it matches.

Reboot to recovery

Mount /system (in 4ext it is mount then mount /system. CWR i am not sure)

Flash RIL you downloaded. Reboot. Should help the issue.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael@:
Hola,

I had a similar issue with the xoom before and finally went through unlock, root etc. fine but it looks like its not all the same with the transformer?

I bought the transformer in china today as I need a tablet plus keyboard next week. The issue I have (same like I had with the XOOM before) manufacturers seem to unable GMAIL-Accounts on tablets purchased in china, which makes it impossible to dl apps from the market.

Please believe me this is not a chinese authoritites issue as the XOOM is working flawlessly here now.

The accounts page under settings does not contain any GMAIL option, there just is CORPORATE or EMAIL and to configure any gmail account wont be successfully connected.

I know I could dl apps anywhere but I do want to use my tablet with an GMAIL-account. So what do I have to do for that? Unlock only? Unlock and unroot? Can I follow just on those

Hello.

I´m currently running CM7.1, and I wanted to flash the newest swiftextreme kernel for CM, but I get a black screen after the lg logo. I´m not sure if I´m doing it properly. Do I need to wipe cache or dalvik-cache in orded to do it, or both? and also, if i need to wipe something, should I do it after or before I flash the kernel?

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
[LG Optimus 2x] darkmystel:
i think u should wipe both n then try rebooting :) it might fix the problem of a hanging boot screen

as per the steps of flashing , u should have wiped before flashing

but yesterday i wiped after flashing coz my phone was stuck in a boot loop n then it got fixed :)

No as it is kernel it doesn't concern system partition, except for writing some files for example in init.d folder. Perhaps the dev forgot to put the info line.

I've recently noticed that when I press the voice button (on homescreen) on my keyboard it uses dutch voice recognition rather than english. I was really surprised how good it actually is, I've tried super long sentences with numbers and works FLAWLESSLY.

Any way?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chi_visor:
Hi,

i was trying to change the /system permissions using adb shell... commands shown in the attached screenshot

my main purpose was to install CWM for which we need to push modified recovery into /system/bin which requires rw permissions....

to do that i used the command chmod 6 /system from root and then tried to mv recovery file from sd root to /system/bin but that failed

when i checked the /system attributes using stat -c %A /system it returned "d------rw-"

after that i tried to mount the system from shell command but failed... then the phone got hanged and when i removed the USB cable it rebooted straight into recovery...

since the ive tried to check directory listing with adb ls /system command but it returns nothing... adb ls /data also shows only 3 files... i had taken a backup of /system using adb pull but i dont knw how much that'll help...

i did not take any backups before that... was trying to install CWM so that i could take rom backup.... :confused:

im not able to boot the phone normally...

i would like to know if i can go back to original state?? if not is ther any other solution like flashing a new ROM or something...??

i would like to extract contacts nd messages if possible...

System config:

- Samsung Galaxy S 4G... everything stock

- Rooted!!

thanks in advance...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
'chmod 6 /system' did what you asked it to do. chmod, on a basic level, uses three (3) sets of permissions: global, group, and user. What you effectively did was set the user permissions to rw but blanked out everything else (like chmod 006).

If you can get into the shell, do this:

chmod 755 /system

That should put it back the way it was (7 = rwx for global, 5=rx for group, 5=rx for user)

See if that helps. Report back and let me know.

Real quick; I had my permissions backward. Although you still want 755 it should've read like this:

rwx for user

rx for group

rx for global

I had them backward. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chi_visor:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I was worried about something like that. My guess is that your best bet is to see if you can get into download mode and flash a new ROM. Were you on Froyo or GB before? If you were on Froyo & you're trying to get to GB you'll need to insure you flash a ROM with the right boot loaders first, like chadster's KG4 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1183413).
