Is already available a usable flash player for Folio100? If yes, where? Does any of the mods contain it? Until now I can not play flash videos on my Folio, Is it my fault? pls. inform me.
Thanks, sandor37
You can find flash player in the latest foliomod by dexter and if you have the original toshiba rom you can find it in this forum. Both are bêta ones so there are some crashs sometimes but work pretty good for games like angry birds or watching some videos on YouTube and so.
Edit if you install foliomod do not try to install the one from the market. The one in v1.3c works And if you want try the first bêta one.
Thank you. I've tried these, but found that some items on youtube can not be played, others can. What is the reason for that?

Your question is back to front. That is probably the reason that this is a BETA release of the flash plugin. BETA is a software engineering term that means a product works most of the time, but is not reliable enough to be offered to the general public. (compared to ALPHA, which works some of the time if you are lucky, and RELEASE which is incrementally better than BETA by an amount depending on the standards of the company making the release).
Again thanks for the response.
Now I succesfully installed the mod v1.3d. Everything(?) works well but flash. I think that is the reason why when I am trying to install Angry Bird, after a while it says: "unsuccessful installation". Several other apps and games could be installed and work well, but Angry Bird.
What do you think, what is the reason?
did you start with a factory reset?
No, I simply made a system update. Can this be the reason?
Shall I repeat the procedure: first a system recovery, and after a system update, well?
Angry Birds is not a Flash game, it is a native Android application.
I do not think that your Flash plugin is the culprit here, I would also (like tshoulihane) recommend to do a factory reset. I definitively think that would be the reason.
Thanks.
I have just repeated the update process: first factory reset, after v.1.3d update. The result is the Angry Birds run OK, but no flash-oriented videos. Eg. on BBC's homepage all videos I tryed to play responded: "You have not the correct version of the Adobe Flash Player. You can download from here....". If I try to download, it says "this is for Linux." Some you tube videos however can be playes.
Therefore my question is again:Which flash playes can be used with Folio? That included in the different mod versions seem not applicable for general flash videos.
What is you experience with playing BBC-videos?
Regards: Sandor
You must use default browser or dolphin hd if you want to see flash video it does not work with other one i try such as opera or Firefox
This was a very important info. I checked and fnow lash is working at last!!
Thanks!

I have a Gtablet enroute right now and have been doing a lot of reading the last few days. When first released all the talk was that it was a nice peice of hardware but to be any good you had to use a custom ROM with it. Is this still the case with the latest 4xxx update?
Pexcer,
It all depends on what you want. That's what the choices XDA offers here are all
about.
When we started with G-Tablets back last fall, the software was so bad it was
almost unfunctional. It has improved with each update. With 4349 installed you
can put your apps on it and have a functional tablet -- but whether it is good enough
for you is your call.
There are a number of alternate ROMs and each has it assets and liabilities.
The only way I know to approach it is to read the threads related to each rom and
see what those advantages and disadvantages are. You can eliminate some that way.
And whatever you have left, you will just have to try and see what you like.
I know this is not the "Go use the _______________ rom" that a lot of people will
give you -- but I'm not pandering for anybody's rom. I believe everyone should
research, try and make their own choice.

I'm more inclined to go with the fastest rom I can get my hands on. I don't care about looks. And stock rom will never be able to fun as fast as custom rom.
That said, you should make this decision on your own. Depends on what you want. If you are like my brother in law who wants everything to be official and fully officially supported, then I suggest you stay with the stock upgraded rom. If you're like me who doesn't care that it's the official release and would rather have a super fast tablet, then custom rom is definitely the way to go.
In another thread, I was endorsing the new calk/clems combo v3, which my quadrant test resulted in 4081. I've posted a picture in this post. Right now, the only thing that seems to be faster than this is the modded xoom, which is only about 80 more. I highly doubt the stock rom will ever be able to give us this much power.
Thanks for the response. I may try the stock UI for a few days when I get it. I have been having difficulty in really seeing the differences between the different ROMs out there though. One thing I plan to do a lot is watch TV shows I've downloaded from TVtorrents, these are 720p x264 in an MKV, is there one mod that can handle Video like that or is that a non issue. I can also grab non HD formats which would have a higher chance of working, but would rather not.
I've also read that hulu can be made to work, at least on one ROM, can't recall which now. If one does Hulu and another doesn't that would be an issue as well. I only download shows that Hulu or Netflix doesn't have.
Any guidance from people familiar with the different options would be appreciated, might save me from some trial and error in the next couple weeks.

Torrents blows goats. their download speeds are as fast as my original G Tab os. File Hosting is the way to roll.
Off my soapbox, I agree with goodintentions. Speed and stability is the key. after that, ADW, 3D Launcher, VTLauncher and a few other Home screen launchers can customize your experience. let us know how yours runs. I won't go that route until the ROM's for it (1.2) are out and stable.
I don't have the newest update that just came out, so I can't comment on that. But I can mention why I went back to the stock ROM. I got my g tablet when woot was selling them. I left the stock rom on for a week and it worked pretty well as a shared device between me and my wife. The stock apps let you keep separate accounts. I put on clockwork and formatted the drive as recommended, then I tried TNT lite, g harmony, and cyanogen. They make your tablet like a big phone. When you sign in to the google apps, all you contacts, calendar, and emails are imported. This didn't work so well as a shared tablet. I decided to leave clockwork mod and the recommended formatting but put the original ROM back on. With the proper formatting, the thing isn't too bad. Probably not as fast as some of the folks here would like, but it serves our purpose as a shared device.
Half the fun (and half the aggravation) is trying different roms. Which is best? That is hard to say. Here is what I suggest. Don't get the latest update with the locked bootloader because then there is nothing you can play with. Get Titanium Backup so you can back up your apps. Learn how to connect t o your pc with usb so you can copy your stuff safely away while you play. Install clockworkmod so you can fix things and install different roms. NVflash is also a good thing to set up and learn but you don't have to right away unless you got the latest update. Now do this.
1. Use clockwork mod to make a backup of your original rom and copy it to your pc.
2. Download and install a new rom calkulin/clemsyn is nice. Use clockwork mod again to make a backup of that installation.
3. download another rom and install. Use clockworkmod to make a backup of that one.
4. When you've tried enough of them you can decide which one you like and restore it using clockwork mod.
5. Changed you mind? Restore one of the others!
6. Rinse and repeat as needed.
Remember Titanium Backup will backup your apps and data - so, if you install a new rom you can restore your apps and data. That means you don't have to go fetch them all in the market and you don't have to restart angry birds at level one.
There are lots of tutorials on how to do this stuff - read the stickys.
Good luck
Try a bunch of ROMs
I agree with enigma. I got my Gtablet last week and immediately updated hoping that the new stock ROM was good enough. It isn't. It's slow and "chunky" plus doesn't have access to the Android market.
I've heard good stuff about the calkulin/clemsyn and Vegan. Being that Vegan is Honeycomb I just went with that though I really should have tried calkulin/clemsyn too as so many must like it for a reason.
I'm new to Android as well so don't get too hung up on the difficulty of installing ROMs. There are very clear, step by step instructions to be found here. Each install takes maybe 15 minutes. So in an afternoon you could easily install and play with half a dozen ROMs before deciding on which you like better.

if you need vpn, cifs then you need a custom ROM
It depends on what capabilities you want. I need VPN and COFS so I use TNTL 4.4. Also, you can install alternate keybaords. The custom ROMs also tend to fix a lot of issues.
Shame on Viewsonic for locking bootloader in the 1.2 branch.

Hi there, just bought a used Vibrant S, this is my first android phone
MIUI 2.3.7 and cyanogen mod 7 were already installed on this phone. Now I am having some issues, like
-Applications often unexpectedly crash
-From what I read on some sites, Vibrant can play WMV and AVI files by default through its own media player but mine only plays MP4, I installed moboplayer, rockplayer, mxvideoplayer, mvideoplayer..but none of them work, as soon as I click the video(from the app) it takes me back to app, only moboplayer can play videos but they are very laggy..
I think these issues are because of custom rom ? What should I do ?
If you don't want to be on the bleeding edge you'd probably be better off with 2.2 stock or one of the many custom 2.2 roms out there. I experiment a lot myself, but I always keep a nandroid of Project V handy. It's my "go-to" rom when I want my phone to just be a friggin phone that does everything without drama.

I'm running the latest MIUI Rom and I have absolutely no problems whatso ever. Either mobo player or MX player should play all or most video formats. I use MX player and it plays all formats. Maybe you just had a bad flash or it hiccuped during your flash process.
My advice is to just try and reflash MIUI as I had a few bad flashes before as well, but reflashing the rom usually fixed it. Just make sure you follow the instructions to a T as far as clearing Dalvik cache, etc....

I was thinking about doing that, is there battery drain issue in MIUI ? my phone drained almost 35% battery in 9hrs standby.
btw is there a way to mount internal memory as sdcard? because some apps require sdcard for backup and I have no external sdcard.
Hello, I'm a new member here. I've browsed the forums from time to time but never registered until today because I'm in need of some help.
After browsing and searching online and on this forum, I haven't seen anyone with a problem similar to mine.
So, being brief:
Not a single type of video is playable on my phone. Youtube.com, YouTube App, videos from my phone's SD Card, videos I recorded with this phone a few days ago, nothing. Videos I was able to watch on my phone before also suddenly stopped working. I also can't record videos.
On the other hand, my camera works perfectly, so does the music player.
I haven't added any weird adds or anything of the sort. I've attached screenshots of my "About Phone" info, and two other screenshots of what it looks like when I try to play videos on the YouTube App and videos that are directly saved on my phone.
If help is available, I'll appreciate it highly.
Thanks in advance!
Pedro.
P.S. I'm posting here continuing from the Galaxy S I9000 General forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27504129#post27504129).
Since then, I've done the following:
-Rebooted the system and re-installed the latest Kernel version.
-Uninstalled and re-installed YouTube.
-Installed MX Player. This solved the problem I faced while playing videos from my phone, but still can't watch videos from YouTube.
-Went through my Apps and found that I'm missing the Video Player app (click picture)
-Facroty Reset to no avail.
I'm running out of ideas right about now. I've had this phone for about a month and a half, and installed ICS on it on day 3 or so. Ever since, the videos were working properly, lagless and flawlessly, just a few days ago problems started appearing.
Perhaps the Video Player apk would do? I can't seem to find it anywhere for my phone.
Thanks a lot!
Hmmm never heard that befoure..
I gues it has something to do with the custom rom ure running on ur I9000
but befoure whipeing data/cash partition u may try this
go to settings --> aplications --> search for youtube (u found it ive seen it on ur screenshots ) open the dialouge box where u can uninstall it and delete all aplication data (its like a factory reset for the app) afterwards try again
if nothin works backup contacs messages etc and head for the recovery mode whipe data/cash
if this wont fix ur issue try to reflash the custom rom in recovery mode

Well, had to install another custom ROM. It seems the one I had wasn't compatible with the Kernel I was using. Problem has been solved, and now I'm using 4.0.4, so it's all good!

Hello, in order not to start a new thread, I'm gonna post here.
I have a chinese tablet(Herotab C8) with I9000 internals(S5PC110).
I have some green artifacts in the upper left corner on youtube videos(using Youtube app) and also in some games intro videos. On some games videos I have green artifacts, on others I have some strange horizontal lines.
Here is an example, filmed by me:
http://youtu.be/pczqsus_v6U
The first, with the green stuff is a youtube app video, the next is the intro of NFS Hot Pursuit.
I've tried an .avi on Mobo Player and it works just fine, no green artifacts(although in software mode, ARMv7 codecs installed...)
If anyone has any ideea, please share!
Thanks!
This ain't actually a guide but just a sharing of facts.
As of some time I always missed flash support in current Internet browser's for JB, and all the workarounds by installing a modified or really old version of other browsers like an old version of dolphin browser did satisfy my need of having flash BUT it was dreadfully slow or quite not like how it was when in GB or ICS and using ancient crappy browser's was increasing the pain of using flash.
And when almost all hope of decent browser experience with flash was lost, I came upon UC Browser and I happened to be in a site that required flash, and the browser gave me an option in the space of the flash video to install a plugin(please note that I had uninstalled flash player before, since I got sick of flash) , I was like "well whatever I tried every other ****" and when I clicked on it, it gave a toast message of plugin downloading and sure in a couple of minutes I was prompted to install Adobe flash player and after the installation the page refreshed itself and there was blue play button now and on clicking it the flash video loaded without any delay and that was the beginning of my best experience with flash in JB, so guy's why don't you try it out? Just go to Play Store and Install UC Browser and go through something similar like I went through.
Also note UC Browser uses a specific build of flash player 11 so uninstall flash player if you have it installed before doing anything above.
And yeah Dolphin Browser latest doesn't support flash in JB, Firefox detects flash but takes forever to load, Chrome never supported flash.
Edit : I recently found out that UC Downloader HD(the tablet version) doesn't prompt us for installing the plug in for some weird reason, so in that case use this version AdbFs10_V11.1.115.47_Android_pf145_(Build13022810).apk of Adobe Flash(which you can download from the Adobe website), or you can install "UC Downloader for Android" (intended for phones, and yes it works in tablets too but HD feels better) and follow what I did above.

Hello everybody,
I am new to this site. I just need your help. I rooted my galaxy s2 and installed deodexed rom with multi window feature. But the thing is that I accidently deleted default video player and now I am not able to play videos on tv via all share. I dont want to install that ROM again. So I just want its default video player and the instruction on how can I install that. pls reply me asap
You should be able to re-install the ROM without wiping data/cache and ensure that the video player is checked (if using Aroma installer).
Alternatively, you may be able to find an .apk and install from your SD.
There are many other third party video players in the play store as well - some, arguably better!
