Uhm..I'm not sure why is that called "unofficial flash player". We can actually download the official apk from Adobe archive. It doesn't get any more updated than that. :) And I have to admit, I didn't know about disabling the plug-ins. So thank you man. :)

Also, I think you could edit the thread's title and make it like "How to install Adobe Flash Player on Android 4.1.2 and up/newer/later". I'm pretty sure that will work on newer Android versions as well. Didn't try it so don't take my word for it but I think it will work. Worst case scenario, it won't install but it's not gonna break anything.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] temenalie:
Thread created a year ago. Why I called unofficial above because as I suggested to use search box at XDA forum, not using Google. And last year, since Adobe not accessible for 4.0.x or later on playstore, some users keeps asking how to get adobe flash player.

I believe someone already uploaded on XDA forum last year.

But I will keeps your adobe archive link to this thread.

Thanks for your link and your advice [MENTION=4022876]arsradu[/MENTION], I'll do it soon.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Megiddo2000:
Hey guys.

So I rooted my Nexus 10, running stock firmware. I want to install the stock update from google but it's not working.

I downloaded it (or rather the system automatically downloaded it), and then i pressed restart and install.

It rebooted into CWM Recovery and I pressed 'install zip'. There's an error thou. It says

assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.apk" . "eea9b34d255faa1088912

more weird number blab blah blah

E: Error in /cache/07ac4f5d6c30.signed-mantaray-JOP40C-from-JOP40C. 07ac4f5d.zip

(status 7)

installation aborted

I have a feeling that something is wrong with my browser provider proxy apk i'm guessing?

I honestly have no idea, but if someone could maybe give me a working browserproviderproxy.apk and i can try replacing mine and see if that works?

Does anyone know where this stock update zip file is saved to? Maybe I could try it manually.

Anyways, any help is appreciated! Thanks!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KlipperKyle:
Yep. It sounds like BrowserProviderProxy.apk is modified in some way. The deal with OTAs is that they are deltas, meaning they contain only the data that was changed in an update. If a file was changed, the delta will not work.

Basically, you need to restore to stock, apply the OTA, then re-root. The procedures I have outlined will restore the system to stock without wiping your data.

You will need working drivers and the fastboot command. These can both be obtained from Google's Android SDK. The installation instructions differ depending on what OS you are running.

I apologize if this is a little complicated. I like to use the command line instead of graphical toolkits for tasks such as these. If your graphical utility can do a stock restore without wiping your data, then try it.

Download the 4.2 mantaray factory image from Google. Also, download the 4.2.1 OTA.

Dig through the factory image and extract the boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, and cache.img. (They are in another zip inside the tgz archive.)

Do not run the script that automatically flashes everything. This script will wipe all data on the device. Instead, flash the images individually. Power the device off, then hold all three buttons at once (power and volume up/down). If done successfully, your device will have some text on the screen with an android in the background. (This is bootloader mode.) Run the following:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img

Now your device has the stock firmware, but your data is still intact. Boot into recovery by selecting "Recovery Mode" with the volume buttons and pressing power.

When the "dead android" appears, immediately press and hold power. While holding power, press vol. up. Release vol. up then power. If done correctly, the recovery menu should appear. (If you did not succeed, press and hold all three buttons until you are back in bootloader mode.)

Select the adb sideload option in the recovery menu. Run

adb sideload <OTA package name>

inserting the name of the OTA package.

You are now upgraded. Now, you need to root your device again. This can be done using any method of your choice.

Whew! I know it's a little complicated, so please ask questions. I will do my best to answer.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raidy:
Hi all, before too charge my galaxy note 2 takes just 2 and half hours, but yesterday I changed to new charger cable that is longer and maybe the material made its now good, the phone took 5 hour to charge, now I want to know charging phone very slow is good for the battery life?

:confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepenguin77:
I wouldn't think that charging slow or fast would affect the battery life at all. The only concern I see when charging the battery is that you don't overheat it, and neither of these options sound like they are going to do that.

I would say that the only way your method of charging could affect battery life is if you used one of those "rapid charge stations" in airports. I would imagine fully charging your battery in 15 minutes could not be good for it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raidy:
Thanks! I am afraid about that if could affect the battery life, because I still use the phone charger I just changed the usb cable to a longer one, maybe the cable electrical conductor is not good quality as the original one.

And this can take all night to charge the battery. Time it's not problem, I just care about battery life.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
The material, length and quality of the USB cable has no significance what so ever for the charging times, trust me. If it's USB 3.0 or not may, though.

I cannot figure this out for the life of me. I am running the Lightspeed ROM, but I have the same issue on other roms - I cannot install a kernel for the life of me! Even on a fresh data/dalvik/battery stats, and a fresh never used ROM.

Things go fine in CWM install wise - I reboot after installng kernel (tried 3 diff ones so far) and I get stuck on the ACER bootup screen.

I need the kernel to do overclocking, Would be very grateful for some help here!
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
ICS overclocking kernels that are available here on xda need the unlocked boot loader.

If I'm correct the light speed rom runs on old HC boot loader 3.01.

You need boot loader V8 see my sig for the v8 guide.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
Those are "starred" contacts. If you want to remove them un-star them.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brodel:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaddan:
Is this a question or a rant? Don't know why you would want to add contacts to sim card. You can store much more information through Google sync, and you don't risk losing all your contacts if the sim card goes bad. Its nice when I get a new android phone it syncs all of the contacts immediately and I don't have to do anything.

To answer one of your questions, I do not think there is a way to do it.

good for you, not for me. just cause you like something and it's preference don't mean that someone else will like it. i thought people would learn this by now. it's annoying that every topic there's a smartass pushing their own preferences on other people. just cause you like lady gaga don't mean i do. i don't care bout storing "much more information" i just want to store simple numbers and a contact name. i like being able to take my sim card and use it with most phone and have all my contacts there, without having to go through stupid process.

"and what if the sim card goes bad?"

1) very very rare occasion

2) that's why the information is on the phone too smartass

i don't want google storing my numbers, i don't want to have to sync to add simple numbers to a sim card. i don't want to add my personal numbers/contacts on the cloud. is that too much for you to understand?

anyway, there is a third party app that does this, thanks alot google! fail design.

also there's no "vibrate then ring option", are you damn serious? are you going to tell me that "vibrate then ring" is "old technology too"....don't be a dumbass.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyraOfFire:
A lot of topics are plain annoying because there's a dumb ass keep asking questions that are either plain simple or has been asked many times. Funny thing is, those dumb asses don't usually learn anything.

The point of an operating system, especially an open operating system, is that it's expected to have just the core functions to run, and people can easily add whatever they want.

I think the consensus around is that YOU ARE THE DUMB ASS.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaddan:
Holy crap get a new phone!

Sure all these features are my preferences, but Google puts these things in place for convenience for most users. I didn't mean to come off an ass, but this is just the way that technology is going. Sim cards rarely go out, you are correct, but recently I had one go out on an old phone and so did my wife. Plus not every phone uses a Sim card, so for those individuals who decide to use Verizon or sprint, or some other CDMA service, the option of importing/exporting contacts to/from Sim card isn't available.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinjin12:
not everyone is programmer who can add functions to an OS. not every programmer is going to waste time programming functions that should have been included as a basic feature that is included in most phones. you see the point? google only implemented this so they have can more people using their services = more $$. that's all. they could have easily added this. this is amongst the least of simple functions they failed to included but it's the basic of most other smartphones OS.

anway, your consensus is equivalent to nothing in the real world since you're nobody. . i didn't know this forum had so many trolls, worse than youtube. anyway, have fun acting like a smartass and putting people down on forums LOL. it says alot about your personality in real life.

This will do vibrate then ring for you. I tested it and seems to work fine.

Call me old-fashioned but for me Android is an OS for tech enthusiasts who delight in tinkering with their devices to do things that the manufacturers didn't implement rather than people who must complain at every opportunity because what they wanted wasn't served up on a silver plate. If you want an OS that babies to your every need them maybe Android is really not for you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinjin12:
simple functions like a volume control in the music player and add sim to contact, both of which are ubiquitous their music players and phones, respectively, is "babying"???? simple functions like that should the basic. if they can't even add those, that says alot of their design when you have to rely on third party apps to get it done. as for the ring and vibrate. anyway, i downloaded audacity and i edited the ringtone to have a delay in the intro. no need for more battery draining third party apps. i have to waste time to even get a simple function like that. Yes android is about people tinkering with the OS and having fun with it, NOT about people have to waste time to get simple functions to work.

anyway, i'm done with this thread. delete it if you wish.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chrono_Tata:
Simple functions but not ones most people actually use. Google didn't implement them because they are not popular features but the OS is flexible enough that people can actually make them work if they want. If that's too much work for you then, well, good luck.

Tried and Tested Method Save New contacts to SIM / RUIM card

Well friends, there is a need to put some private entries on SIM. Let me explain.

My wife and me are both professionals working with the same set of professional contacts. Hence I use My Phone Explorer to sync our Phonebook, Notes, Tasks and Calender to be identical and concurrent.

To keep my personal contacts / friends (and hers for that matter) out of the Sync list we would prefer to leave them on my SIM and her RUIM (CDMA) card.

Here is how you do it.

Open "People".

Select "Menu" and then "View"

Keep only "Sim" ticked and untick everything else.

Go back to "People" and you shall only see SIM contacts.

Select Add and fill in the details and you are done.

This is how I do it for my old HTC Salsa Android 2.3.1 and Galaxy Y CDMA. (Menus differ slightly between manufacturers)

Others may need a slightly different method

I don't have any Touch Profiles yet but I think I am going to end up needing one for N64oid. It doesn't have native analog support and thus I need to run with a touch profile. Pain in the arse to setup.

Best way to do it is to get in your game that you need the profile for, take a screenshot with as little on screen as possible just the touch keys overlay, and then use it to map out the controller inputs.

I tried doing it for N64oid but was having a really hard time scaling the analog sticks up to perfectly fit the C Buttons and main analog stick. It wasn't big enough.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daxsm:
Hu guys I've been searching forum but there are so many roms and threads so I need to open up this thread for my i9000

I'm currently running SlimBean 3.1 with Semaphore 2.8.0s kernel and rom is fast and stable and I get ~150-200ram free. I have just installed GTA Vice City and it's running really slow and lags. My personal opinion is that Galaxy S can run this game without lag and other heavy games but it requires GB rom that can do this.

So which one rom GB do you find best for lag-free games and for best battery and for every day use?

I think that all JB roms use a lot of ram and that causes laging in games, so GB is best for games but which one :)?

I want to play some games like Modern Combat, TDKR and others but to play them smooth. Is that possible on this phone? I think it's beast but this games are new and heavy on resources.

So if someone would answer on my question I would be greatful.
