This is amazing. Thank you so much for the heads up. No more whining about lack of flash. Skyfire does it all.
edit - even bbc iplayer works. Dr Who on the x10 mini, anywhere in the world (proxies permitting).

Anyone else having trouble installing this?
when i look at the market i dont find it, and when i scan the QR code from skyfire homepage i dont find it either.
Also tried downloading the APK file from my phone but it fails telling me that the format is not supported in my phone.
Currently using a unrooted mini pro with SE default stock rom due im afraid of the stability of the aviable roms. (Absoulutly need a working and non-rebooting phone for my work.)

hi here is the apk cheers chris

You can watch live streaming !!!!!
Hi,
thanks for the app !
With this app, you can watch live streaming !
Yestersay, i have saw San Antonio - Memphis on streaming with my phone ( in 3G ) !
If you want to test :
go on myp2p or http://www.rojadirecta.es/.
For example, go to : http://www.rojadirecta.es/goto/play....gd/BZzvNC&autostart=true&stretching=exactfit.
On this page, click on Video ( ( down bar of skyfire ) the page may is white as if it's not loaded ).
Wait, and click on video who appears.
Watch your match
You may need video licence for that work, but the licence is free for 3 day.
It's time to test !
PS: If skyfire work only for google reach; click on icon half android / half screen of computer ( at right of the icon who open all tab ) and choose android.
Try again
Sorry for my bad English !

Hum, I tried this yesterday but gave up cuz on my mini pro the favorites button caused a FC, but since it appears to be able to playback video, I might just have to make this one my default browser

To have the favourites button work you need the stock browser (the stock one in the custom roms work as well) installed as well as it uses that somehow for your favourites and history etc

Ah ok, I see my deleting of the default browser (had no use for it) came back to bite me in the ass, cheers for the clear up
EDIT: Yeah, readding the default browser fixed it, cheers fellas.

Any way to turn the screen off during playback? I use some flash streaming audio, so dont need to see anything, and it eats battery. Also has anyone worked out how to tick the parental lock option in bbc iplayer?

[Q] Best Browser

Which Browser is for the X8 the Best?
1. Default Browser
2. Dolphin Browser
3. Opera Mini
4. Skyfire Browser
I use Dolphin and prefere it becouse of the add on. But i must say that i dont use many add ons probebly only one
So now i want to know which one is the best what is your opinion? and why?
Skyfire for me.
Default Browser +1
you can vote also and it would be helpful when you say why you prefere the default browser.
I just have a question to whom who use dolphin! when i use the back botton to exit they always ask to clean or minimize or close the browser! i would prefere closing without asking is this possible?

when it detects embedded flash it converts it to HTML5 and sends it to your phone.
when i tried it, some times it worked some times in failed depends on skyfires servers.
For me Opera Mini 6 for daily browsing especially Mippin.com and sometimes Opera Mobile 11.

you can find dolphin mini in market, it's free, and difference? it's liter version than normal dolphin, doesn't have annoying advanced options and toolbars that fill your whole screen, try it, and decide, and also have gesture feature, witch are very useful while browsing...
my second choice is skyfire because of semi-fake flash player

Definitely Opera Mobile 11, but for flash - Skyfire
Dolphin Browser (not mini nor hd)
Simple, fast, with tabs, tab preview, google bookmark sync and friendly as default browser with all its functionnality included.
for me , the best is native browser

How to* keep flash on a browser alive while in background

As of ics when you move browser in the background, that is switch from browser to another app, the flash content on the web page gets paused, like the waiting seconds countdown on a file sharing website, it simply means you can't multitask,
So is there a app that can prevent the browser from being dead in the background, or a floating browser will do the trick

I meant with browsers not YouTube app. With opera we can easily browse other tabs while listening to music on YouTube, even without ram manager. Well I guess I'll just have to stick with SuperVideo.
Btw, what other improvements ram manager makes? Other than keeping flash on file sharing sites while background, which opera does by itself, I think, there seems to be no visible changes..
Found a workaround in Firefox
Thought I'd share this workaround.
1. Flash Player (I'm using version 11.1.115.12)
2. Firefox for Android (version 17)
3. Use site requiring flash
4. Open settings menu in Firefox
5. Press Home/Power button to multitask/shutoff display.
Useful for flash music / radio / video.
You may want to use another browser to surf with music in the background.
cons:
Music continues playing if headphones pop out.
Not too sure of the battery drain.
Works on my stock Verizon S3 Jelly.

Hi JJeng, i use note s2 and downloaded firefox v18 but couldnt find an option home/power - multitask/shutoff - do u know where to find. and is it possible to use ram manager pro without rooting my phone.
Got it. Misunderstood your steps. Working fine now. Thanks a lot.
Tnks, fr tc suggestion,
But wht I'm looking for is live gold rates, wht i exactly want is, when i move to another app from a browser, i still want the browser to run in background, it will be helpful to others when they r downloading files from megaupload etc where the timer stops once u leave the app

Try OverSkreen. It will keep Flash running even with the screen turned off and while using other apps. The only drawback is that you need to keep it laying on top of everything. You can make the window tiny so it's less bothersome but it would still be better to find something that runs completely in the background.

Adobe Flash Player

I've installed Adobe Flash Player 11 and 11.1 but when I go to the web it still doesn't work. I am missing something???

Could you give more info about your problem. Try to explain the situation and in detail your moves. If you cant open webpage give a link then someone can check this. There may be a lot of things so be clear. Btw hi everyone
Yeah, when I go to certain websites like http://almoproav.com it says ''Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player''
Then I click on the adobe link and it takes me to Google Play and instead of '' install now'' it says ''update''. I click on update, go back to that website and still get ''Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player''
Help!!!!!!

In stock browser at right upper corner you have 3 vertical dots. Tap on it. then settings -> advanced -> enable java script must be thick, enable plugins always on. You should now open flash animation on this page. If not uninstall all installed flash players and install only one. There is no need to have it both ( or I misinterpreted sth) Check if its ok. If not force desktop view. To do this you must write down about:debug sentence on adress of site to enable extra options. Then go settings -> debug-> ua string . You will have there android, desktop, iphone, ipad, etc. Try change between this and refresh site. That should help

It does work but you need to download a browser that will support the flash plugin. Since flash player is no longer supported the browsers on the phone dont support the plugin. Go to the market and download Dolphin browser.
Forgot to add that if you use Dolphin browser you need to go into the settings...web content...and turn flash on.
Firefox works too but it takes up much more space.
thanks will try that.

No Chrome for Android doesn't support flash they have switched to HTML5 since flash ended android support. All the new phones and upcoming phone browsers wont support flash plugin. You need to download a browser from the market that supports flash like Dolphin, Firefox, etc.
