[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] confused computer:
tell me if this idea will work.

Can someone tell me if this idea will work:

I know that Android 4.4 removes the ability for android to use the Flash Plugin, but will it still allow video apps to play flash files? There are video apps like "MX Player" that allow people to play all of the videos stored on their devices. Do any of those video apps allow people to also view videos created in the Flash format?

Even though Android 4.4 removes the ability for apps to play flash in a web browser, could those flash videos still be watched if they are all redirected to be played by a video-player app like MX Player?

This is what I mean:

a plugin could be made for Firefox for android. If a website that contains a Flash video is opened and the plugin detects that the device is using android 4.4 or the device just doesn't have flash player installed, it will allow you to click the video and it will instantly open MX Player and start playing the Flash video in MX Player. It will allow the flash video stream to be redirected and start being played by a video-player app.

Does anyone know if that will work? Are there any current video-player apps that can play the stream of a flash video? I think MX Player is able to handle playing a video from a stream.

Here's another question:

Is there an app that allows people to download flash videos so people with Android 4.4 can still watch them on a video-playing app?

I know that Firefox for android has a plugin that allows me to download a flash video, but I STILL need to have flash installed and I need to let the flash video actually start playing before the download button appears. Is there a method of downloading flash videos from websites without actually needing to let the video start playing before a download button appears?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] purofusoni:
It's working

You're right, I try to install MX Player and my local swf files is now playable.

At least, MX Player can be used to play flash, but I don't think so for flash with actions, like clicking button.

I'll try later tomorrow to verify that.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nigelhealy:
.... indirectly.... a hack, you won't like any of these ... but it works, I just tried it.

I keep a Windows 7 old netbook (redundant as Android tablet does nearly all it did apart from a few infrequent situations) on home network, I have it wake-on-lan connected ethernet to my router with port-forwarding. I can wake it up remotely, use Splashtop to then remotely "drive" it, including going to a browser which has Flash working, start a Flash-based item (I tried it using desktop Firefox on Youtube site), pause the video, then in the Firefox addon for downloading Flash, I right-click, copy URL, I then in the remote desktop emailed myself the link and then on my Android device open email, copy link,l pasted it into MX Player and it worked. My test was to get a Youtube video to play in MX Player using the link supplied from Firefox flash downloaded app.

If I didn't want to stream locally, if this was just to be able to crudely see the Flash player, I can simply let Splashtop stream it, the picture quality isn't as good but as I said... hacks....

The other hack is to actually get the desktop to download the Flash file I can then copy the flash file to Android then play it without streaming.

I know what you want - an Android add-on which is allows the SWF URL to be copied so you can paste to MX player, or better cut out the copy/paste and simply launch MX Player for you by clicking on flash - say default app for Flash type embedded. However, for now, I given you a working for-free do-today method.

I keep the remote Windows desktop going for a few reasons, this reason Flash broken issue just adds another reason. Some Powerpoint files don't display properly in the local native apps, so I remotely save-as PDF and then can see them better locally. A few browser issues too.

Splashtop has a good pinch+zoom and panning setup, it works well over WAN and over Wifi but on the cheap 4G deal I got it works quite poorly, but sufficient for the method I described as its a just a few clicks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] purofusoni:
not all works

I've tried several flash files, but not all flash work with MX Player.

1. For a flash files that purely video (just sequence animations), it can play properly.

2. For a flash files that have actionscripts, such as flash for presentation (requires click actions), they do not work.

3. For a game flash (complex actionscripts and animations), of course not working.

at least, mx player can be used to play flash animation without actionscript on kitkat.

I'm happy with this finding..

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miles_muso:
Hi All,

Like others, I'm experiencing a problem with SwiftKey - the stock keyboard always shows up as the default after every boot, even though SwiftKey is enabled in settings. I read somewhere that a workaround is to freeze the stock keyboard using Titanium, and convert the SwiftKey app to a systems app. So my question is, how do I do that?

(One X, ARHD 31.3)

I know I can long-click on the correct entry in Titanium's App list to freeze an app, but specifically, what app name do I need to look for (is it Keyboard_english.apk?)

And how do I convert SwiftKey to a system app? I'm not even sure what this means.:confused: Do I just have to ensure it's located on internal storage (not SD card)?

Some help is obviously needed! Thanks for yours in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiamatsu:
You can try disabling the stock keyboard in Settings>Apps. You can also try using ROM Toolbox to search for app (in my experience it's easier). And converting an app to a system app simply means moving the app from data>app to system>app.

Arrange a great variety of widgets to your lock screen!

Lockmix is a lock screen content provider application that offers a great variety of widgets to be pinned to your lock screen in a way similar to the start screen tiles. It turns your lock screen into a grid where you can pin multiple tiles, which are then updated regularly to display various information. Each widget can be independently moved around, resized or configured just like the tiles pinned to your start screen.

Not enough space on the lock screen? No problem, each widget can be also pinned to the start screen as a live tile.

The widget selection includes common widgets such as weather, news, appointments or battery, uncommon widgets such as countdown, map, currency or RSS, and even fun widgets such as Chuck Norris facts or famous quotes.

As background, you can choose Bing image of the day, solid color fill, custom image, or a collection of custom images that are rotated or shuffled regularly.

The application itself and a lot of the widgets are free. Other widgets can be purchased in-app (with trial).

Hi Everyone,

I want to find an older (or modded) version of Google Search app (apk),

The phone is a Jiayu G3 QCT, Android 4.2.1

My default Google Search app (2.6.7.721924.arm) always does a web search, even if I only mark apps, contacts, music and files. Web search cannot be unmarked, only History and Bookmarks. For example, in a very old version (1.1.2.64376, gingerbread) web search can be entirely unmarked. I tried to find a changelog, or a version history of this app but I found nothing.

Is there a previous version that can be forced to search on the device only, without even showing web results?

For Web search, I already use the android browser.

If possible, I'd like to retain the offline voice search functionality (Seems to be included in the search app)

I don't need Google Now, I don't care if it's included or not.

I'd appreciate any help you can provide.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Déhème:
Hello everybody,

I've spent the last 2 hours browsing the forum looking for appropriate answers. There seems to have a bunch of people with similar issues, butI haven't found any useful hint...

So my problem is that every few days my Galaxy Note freezes and then reboot sticking at the initial "Samsung GALAXY Note GT-N7000". I can however boot into recovery and restore the latest Nandroid backup. My phone correctly boots then (which seems to exclude any hardware cause btw)... until next time a few days later... It's not quite blocking as I have kinda workaround... But you may still imagine how convenient it is to restore the phone while waiting for important calls! I have also noticed that the date is reset to January, 1st 2000 when it occurs.

I am suspecting that some application upgrade screws the system up. But how could I identify which one? I have nearly 200 apps... uninstalling them one after another is no realistic option.

So my main question is: is there any way to log the events on the external SD in order to diagnose what was happening before the crash (and potentially caused it).

Of course if any of you had the exact same symptoms; I would also be glad to get any feedback from your experience.

In case it helps, here is my configuration:

- galaxy note N7000

- Firmware: N7000XXLT9_N7000XXLT3_N7000OXXLT3_HOME (Stock 4.1.2)

- Kernel: PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT9-ORA-5.11.2 (rooted)

Thanks in advance for any appropriate support,

Regards,

Didier
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A-mak:
Myself and many others who have upgraded to sweet rom v11 have experienced the same issue. It comes with the latest philz kernel.

I have since changed to c.o.h hello world's latest kernel and am yet to experience the issue or a random reset (something that was a hourly occurrence after the upgrade. it's been stable for 3 hours now)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Déhème:
So, according to your statement, my problem would be related to the Kernel and would presumably be solved by loading a new Kernel.

Which one would be recommended to support the following features?

- ext4 partition for use with Link2SD

- init.d

- root and CWM (I guess all alternate Kernels do support it; but anyway...)

Thanks in advance for your help.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidNoob22:
Okay, so I have had my device for 4-5 days now and I noticed a strange thing when I have my device in my hands in landscape while watching pics below my eyes and I tilt it to right side screen gets blue and when tilt left yellow but when I have the device on my eye level, i.e - holding in front of my head and eye and I tilt it the blue and yellowish screen doesn't appears but when I take my device above my head and eye level and tilt it the blue and yellowish screen starts appearing again I am sure this cant be any hardware issue as if it was then why would the screen not go blue and yellowish when held in front of head/eye but when held at below head or above head screen gets yellow so the basic question is this is by any chance software/display calibration, these panels are meant to be like this (I have always had Sony before this and nothing else so I am very new to IPS) or it by any chance is hardware? has anyone else noticed this?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virtual-aidz:
Many LCD and IPS does this. I'm not sure what the "science" is. But even my computer monitor does this (yellow on side, and white the other. Up and down is darker/lighter)

Pretty normal, but since the G2 doesn't have the best viewing angels on a phone, you see it more often when not looking directly at the screen.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subhani:
Yes, this is true of the G2 as well as the lg built Nexus 4 and 5. The display is really amazing TBH although minor changes do occur if you angle the display.

The best I have seen is on the HTC One X. I don't think even the HTC One is as good as the One X display. I want to say the Iphone 5/5s display is also as good as the One X but it fails on size and visible black border/outline. For that reason, I put the G2 and the i5s on a par in second place, all things considered. The i5 is brighter and darker than the g2 but much smaller and black outline more apparent.

Lastly, sony xperia z and z1 display is really quite poor in this regard i.e viewing angles.

I do have the exactly same thing on my g2 d802.. Maybe that is how the screen is then. I ha e also wondered if this is a hardware problem, but look like more people do also have it..

First thing to do is get the unit working again. Go to the t-mobile.de site and download the latest ROM update. That should be an executable that actually runs from the bootloader mode anyway. Once you get a working ROM, charge up your XDA and try it again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jacef8:
Well to start off I have Verizon GS4 i bought back around July. I rooted it shortly there after. Skip to now, with the latest OTA update to 4.2.2 I kept postponing it everytime my phone would try to ask me to download and install it. Unfortunately my wife or kid I guess had my phone and when that prompt came up they did not tell it to postpone it and at 1 am one night my phone took the update. That was about a week or so ago. Since then my phone lost root, and has not been acting right, very slow at times, random restarts.... So I was trying to flash using ODIN which I have never done before back to a stock image and just take the OTA and wait to root again in the future. I am 99.9% sure I checked my phone and saw that the OTA did install and I was on 4.2.2 build ML1. But in my haste to get my phone back to stock it seems I may have try to flash an incorrect file or some other mistake and now when I put the battery back into my phone it goes directly to "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please use Software Repair assistant & try again." or I can boot into download mode. Those are my only two options. I have downloaded multiple files from all over this site, but the majority of them I have having problems opening them with 7zip which seems to be the popular choice. When I attempt to unzip a file to place it in ODIN, 7zip error message says "cannot open 'blahblah blah.tar.zip' as archive. This error goes for the majority of the files I am downloading. Are they corrupt? Should I try something different with 7zip? Thanks everybody.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
The "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" is what you get when you try to flash software that's older than what the phone expects. (As well as other issues, like corrupt firmware.)

If you're having problems unzipping the downloaded image, you're probably getting a corrupt download. However, if you're on windows, I'd just use the built-in ZIP handling and see if that is able to open the file.

To make sure you're downloading the right thing:

What you need to do, since you're on MI1 (not ML1), is to get the no-wipe image for that phone and flash it in ODIN.

The no-wipe images can be found in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2301259

Read the first post, get the proper ROM for your phone, then flash it over what you have.
