[Q] Is there a way to see flash on my vibrant? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know Iphone has a program that allows it to play flash. Does android?
Ty in advance

Once 2.2 is released for the vibrant yes. Untill then you can download skyfire browser which has flash support.

Iphone will never have flash. Steve jobs has put too much money and time into html5, he even dared adobe to get a version of flash to work properly on a mobile device, doubting it could be done. They came back with 10.1 . On android 2.2 we will be able to download it.

Jailbroken iPhones have access to a program that plays flash on web.

Only release on Froyo 2.2 Android that's the only android that has flash currently. Android 2.1 had lite that's what the forums said but not sure cuz I haven't see it.

I have flash 10.1 on my vibrant. Google flash for 2.1 xda.

La de freakin da. Flash lite is like the red headed step child of flash. Nobody really wants it, but they keep it around until something better comes along.

How Do I Go Back to 2.1?

I forced 2.2 onto the phone with Kies Mini and ever since then battery life has been atrocious and bluetooth will no longer connect to my stereo. Tried every single route to flash a custom ROM on the phone and nothing will get it to work. I just want to go back to the way it was with 2.1 and unroot it. Can anyone point me in the right direction before this phone ends up in a million pieces? Odin? I thought uninstalling Kies Mini might do the trick but I dont see it in my app list

These are my feelings precisely. When a customer comes in my location and asks for us to hook their phone up to Kies and update it I have to resist the urge to root their phone for them.

I was scared as hell when doing my first rom flash also, but it is TOTALLY worth it. You'll have a completely different phone depending on what you flash. Just follow all the instructions and there's plenty of help along the way if something goes awry

I have a same question, I could not find out the stock rom in Vibrant Bible, the build name is T959UVKB5, anyone help me!
Yeah stay away from Kies, hard bricked me, had to riff box recover.
I was looking for stock 2.2 recently too, hard to find most links didn't work.
Is there any specific reason you need stock? Most 2.2 roms now are plenty stable.

I just came from trigger cm7 14. Didnt like the battery drain and missed my GPS and wifi calling.
I LOVE the blazers! I live in Vanc and work in Portland. You think Oden will do well? Either way im glad rudy is gone
Yeah im gonna wait until stable cm7 comes out before I try it again
Yeah barring a long lockout, next season very dependent on oden. If he plays decent I see blazers doing very well

Arent we supposed to get an official 2.3.4 from samsung soon?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App

Switching from 2.2 to 2.3.x. & back

First off....yes I've done alot of researching.
Thing is that there is soo much info that it is a little overwhelming.
As I understand....I can switch back and forth from 2.2 & 2.3.x and back thru cwm ....difference being that while in 2.3.x I cannot view the recovery screen but can still flash back thru cwm. And when I return to 2.2 I get recovery back so long as I haven't flashed the bootloaders for 2.3.x.
The reason im asking this is becuz I don't have a comp right now so using someone elses comp to odin back is a bit of a hassle for me.
Thanks for any and all input
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I can't speak for others but I can say personally I've done it many times without odin. I have nand backup of 2.2 on my phone. I have not installed gingerbread bootloaders. When I want to flash 2.3 roms, I factory reset and flash it. Sheree that I can't see recovery ofcourse. To switch back to my 2.2 backup, I keep kernel s like bali, overstock or any stock voodoo kernel on the phone. I use sgs kernel flasher from the market to flash those 2.2 kernel s. That puts the phone in bootloop but gives me red recovery. I then factory reset and restore my 2.2 backup. Has worked every time so far...btw everytime means atleast 20 times here.

Switching from 2.2 to 2.3 is fine, it will update as necessary.
Switching back down to 2.2, do as Alex recommended and you'll be fine.
Thank you very much guys! This was exactly what I needed to hear
Edit: wow I'm running minui now and it is going to take some getting use to....lol
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Actually I'm pretty sure you will need odin coming from cm7 or muiu. I don't think sgs kernel flasher will work since cm7 and muiu are all asop.

It don't work I'm stuck in miui without a comp to Odin back......what a joke :-/
Sent from my T959 using XDA App
Just go to the stickies and pull all the goodies for Odin. It doesn't take that long to set up. Then you can just flash the GB bootloaders. Remember the GB BLs are backwards compatible.
By backwards compatible,do you mean that with gb bl's they work fine with 2.2?
Also I thought when on one 2.3 rom I could easily jump around to any 2.3 rom like with 2.2........but cwm is not allowing me to do this
Sent from my T959 using XDA App
You could jump around fine from any touchwiz based 2.3 rom (simply honey, asgard, malice) but not cm7 or miui
bootloaders for vibrant are backward compatible, you may have an extra boot splash logo but everything works the same. flashing bootloaders can be dangerous....So i would personally recommend staying on GB bootladers

CM7 and MUIU Roms are different, you can't jump back and forth from them because they use different file systems. they are much more complicated. the only way out is to odin back to stock I believe

Odin'ing back is probably the easiest way to get back. Flashing the bootloaders CAN be dangerous, but just follow the directions and voila! Not flashing bootloaders just cause it COULD cause problems is like not driving your car cause you COULD crash and burn into a fireball.
Just sayin...
But yes, they will work on Froyo roms as well.

We were all noobs at one point in time. Just continue to read and read and search and search again. Almost anything that could go wrong with the Vibrant has most likely already happened, and is searchable.
can you go from CM7 to MIUI directly or do you need to go back to stock first?
As it appears ....you have to Odin back first
Sent from my T959 using XDA App
Erm sorry mate, should ve mentioned cm7 and miui. I just assumed that its understood that you can't switch back from those without odin. All gingerbread roms have that in their first posts in no uncertain terms.

I've put my phone back on 2.2 and am going to leave it there. Having a heater in my pocket using up the battery 2x faster than normal and never knowing where I am got a little old. Mostly the battery part. If there's ever a leak, I'll go back, otherwise.. this phone's on 2.2 until I buy a new one.

5 years ago, there wasn't HTML5.
Adobe is doing us a favor with getting rid of adobe flash, if it wasn't so resource hungry then it would've kept going. Adobe dropping flash will not effect it either, in fact it'll probably free up resources for them (i.e. ongoing support) . They've already started to get on the HTML5 bandwaggon (see Adobe Edge).
Hot Air Won't Substitute for Flash
I've heard all kinds of baloney about the use of Flash being sooo bad on Android phones. Well without this, the Samsung S3 and the HTC S1 doesn't work for streaming video on some sites. Now, complainers, give me a GOOD alternative. Or is this a plan to cripple Android phones so they will work as bad as an iPhone?

Chill, and go sideload flash. Problem solved. Android is still not crippled.
And well this is the first step of moving over to HTML5
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
Basically Flash is obsolete with the introduction of HTML5 video just like 32bit Windows programs are obsolete since 64 bit has been around for years. Yet in both cases most sites still use flash and most Windows programs are still only 32bit. I think discontinuing flash support this early was a bad move by Adobe. It was one of the top apps in the Play store and had mostly good reviews. Its just too early to call it dead. Flash was pretty well performing, it allowed 720p youtube videos on my Droid 3 without noticeable lag and 1080p videos on my Touchpad. Since HTML5 has no DRM its not replacing flash anytime soon as its very easy to download an HTML5 video.
If you want flash you can download it from the site in my signature. It runs okay on JB even though its not supported.

So flash player is gone for good?

Guys, seems like we r done with adobe flash player. It wont be available in the playstore no more.

There will be no updates. Adobe announced a few months back that it would discontinue Flash for Mobile. What's out now is it.
I've stumbled upon a handful or more of these Adobe Flash threads this morning. I think I really stopped caring after I saw the first one.
