All you have to do is go to the Firefox mobile site and when you SEARCH for thebl keyword FLASH the first thing that comes up is a page stating that Firefox for tablets DOES NOT support Flash, although the beta version does but just for phones. Amazing the info I found with a 30 second search and read

i looked and only found different versions to download, handy if u know where to look. in my job i do things for people who dont know where to look; and its sometimes not as straightforward as the first thing you see in the first 30 sec of looking. so i take it theres no workarounds and no magic touchpad exceptions ... thanks for the info and help tho.

Try ICS Browser+. I'm sure the Mozilla bunch will come up with a fix eventually.
Don't mind the previous poster, he gets off on putting people down. Ask away here, that's what the general and q/a sections are for.
firefox nightly already has support for flash
also some of the aurora builds back in march had it too {if i remember correctly they introduced the flash fix)

Hi guys, done a search so don't think this has been asked before. Has anyone managed to get facebook places working reliably on the hd2? From my initial hunting around I've been trying various html5 enabled browsers with intermittent success. Any advice appreciated.

Hi Alan,
I too have been trying to get this to work, no success yet, may I ask which browsers you have had success with?

I'm sure I've read they have to support HTML5, so anybody know which ones do. HTML5 is very new and AFAIK there is no browser for WM with full HTML5 support, there may be some betas with partial support, they would need the geolocation part of HTML5 to be implemented. I'm about to try Iris now
maybe this'll help some of you (PM by Xenton; thanks!):
I couldn't post this as I'm new here and it has links so here ya go:
Right been at this most of the day now, the most promising course of action would be to google gears which adds geolocation functions to browsers. It only works with very specific browsers though, one being Opera Mobile 9.51 (Presto build 2.1.0+) it's available via Opera's FTP site at ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/winmobile/951b2 download "opera_v9.5beta2_gears.cab" and install launch the browser then goto gears.google.com and click install. It will prompt you to reboot your phone. Now relaunch the browser and navigate to touch.facebook.com try to use places, you should get a warning that your location information is being accessed via gears, click okay and you should be good to go.
I got as far as a suggested list of places for my location but nothing on the screen would respond.

It's been a while since I was trying to get this to working and I gave up, so this information may not be up to date but there were no apps that worked with places, the touch.facebook website did but needed a browser with HTML 5 support, I tried many browsers, finally a combination of browser and addon that should of worked but didn't. I think I'm correct in saying android and iPhone have browsers that work nicely wptg the Facebook touch site but WinMo has neither a browse nor an app that works wptg places. I did give up on this a while bin now, and would love for someone to tell me I'm wrong...
......EDIT: It works!!! I installed 4.1 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6392459&postcount=2 (this is the page the download app button on their facebook page links to) and it prompted me to update to the latest version and then, places was working, just like that amazing, I'm well pleased. Also had a play with the latest better, kept freezing and crashing but it looks very promising, an awesome app!
yeah i was using it for places but now when i go to places it locks up
It's still working for me, try uninstalling and they reinstalling, that might fix it, it is a beta still and is not rock solid stability wise yet.

Worked for me! thanks
Hear me out on this one before you shoot me down.
Alpha2.1 has become pretty much a daily for me, with the only real nuisance being the wifi issues. My understanding from other posts is that Alpha3 will be released before moving on to ICS for CM9. If wifi is fixed in Alpha3, it would become a definite daily for me. That said, when CM9 eventually comes out I would like to check it out and provide feedback, but would prefer not to dump a familiar and possible more stable CM7.1 until CM9 becomes as stable.
My question is this. Would it be worth the trouble to setup moboot to triple boot WebOS, CM7.1 and CM9? I doubt the CM team would want to bother with it, but I haven't dealt with moboot until this project. Would it be pretty much the same as editing Grub on a PC to triple boot?
Thank you for your considered opinion.
This is what they posted with the release of CM9 for TouchPad....
CAN I MAKE A TRI-BOOT SYSTEM? (WebOS, CM7, and CM9)
Yes, but don’t bother. There may be instructions forthcoming on this, but it’s a bit advanced - just pick one.

Guess they are not ready to share that... I think I'm gonna have to ask them about it over at RootzWiki...
I myself am looking for a triple boot solution but for a different reason...
Since Android does not allow for separate profiles on one device to allow multiple users to keep separate system settings thru out it like PC's on Windows user accounts... And it doesn't seem like they are making a iUser version for Android...
I only see a solution of 2 separate installs of CM7 or CM9 (whichever two)... And then each person can choose their installation at boot-up.... Eventually they will need to add password protection to them... But that is longs way ahead...
If u look at the vidz from ReverendKJR on YouTube.... U can see that all the CynagenMod variants seem to end up being listed as the same thing regarding of flavor... But the EverVolv ICS install is listed as a different installation... This is just the listing part.... It doesn't mean they work correctly and don't clash with each other.... But we do know that maybe 3 Roms just fit on the TP...
Hopefully they will release how to do this correctly soon....

Triboot instructions may still be coming from what I've read. I hope they do, but if CM9 is stable I may not care as much. As for password protection, to what exactly are you referring? Android already has pins, patternlocks etc.
Well I decided to go ahead with CM9 Alpha0 last night (backed up my CM7 install first). So far super stable, don't really need what's broken (camera, microphone etc). One big reason was that Logmein Ignition hasn't worked since its 14 November update (older version works, but I don't trust the apk download source). Now it works, plus I can now load honeycomb apps! If this keeps up I'll probably never bother with triboot.

Cool... Did u do the multiple performance tweaks???... How stable is u'r Wifi???
Right... Screen Password is there.... And would work at startup... But then u would need to turn it off and to turn it back on... I am looking at a two user system for my TP.... With both parties having separate Android installs... I would prefer a moboot or another booter way to make sure the 2nd user only has access to their install of Android & wouldn't be able to mess up WebOs or my install of Android... Seems iUser would work great.. but no Android version seems to be available... Let me know if u find the Tri-Boot info...

Yes, did the two fixes I saw listed. Also ran Alpha 0.5 tonight. Wifi if anything is better than CM7 Alpha3.5. Installed 3 days ago, only had to cycle wifi off/on once. Have joined 5 different SSIDs in that time, two of those on a 7 access point network on different channels (1, 6 and 11). One was open while rest were WPA2 secured.
As for the multi-user setup, if Android isn't an absolute requirement, perhaps an Ubuntu Linux install would do? I don't know how far along the project is, but if it works you should be able to create as many non-root users as you like. Just an idea.
EDIT: Looking in the "Other Touchpad Development" Forum, the Linux projects appear much more "alpha" than CM9 is now. However Arch Linux looks promising.

Hey people of xda
so i just got my GNexus a few days ago and im totally back into the android scene already! Gots me some AOSP rom on it and root
Anyways, i tried out firefox / fennec now that my phone should be quick enough to use it properly (unlike my G1 ) and i realized it doesnt support flash. So according to mozilla wiki, it is only supported on 2.3, and on a bugreport i read that it isnt planned to be supported on 3.0 / 4.0, due to adobe dropping support on flash.
Anyways, i am wondering how hard it would be to get ICS supported for flash on firefox? I tried putting the flashlib in the plugin folder of aurora, etc. didnt work of course, since it's a problem in the sourcecode.
I realised that on youtube, flash seems to work! It doesnt actually display a flash missing warning or anything like that, on all the other sites.
So i was wondering if that is actually a flash implementation or a custom youtube player by mozilla right there?
Can anyone investigate? I don't have an IDE with all the fennec stuff set up, so i can't check on that. Would be awesome to get aurora with flash though, since it renders stuff really fast and it has a nice and smooth interface
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#Download_Aurora
I think the YouTube player is html5... I May be wrong

you are indeed right i totally forgot about this, but im pretty sure since the interface looks a tiny bit different from the flash version.
Anyways, i headed to a mozilla "plugincheck" site, which gave me the message:
"for safety reasons, firefox has disabled your obsolete version of flash. Please update to a newer version" (translated it directly from the german version though, lolz. but you get the idea)
I guess we have a hint right here! How do we get aurora to NOT disable flash?
(I still dont have the sourcecode set up anywhere, im a lazy person.)

I followed the instructions, and so far the links to flash content have been working. On some of them it gives a warning of incorrect flash version, but still plays.
I guess that learning to use and like Dolphin is in the works. Xscope is my browser of choice, or at least has been.
Thanks for posting this.

hello,
am on miui 11.0.5.0 global and was able to remove the stock mi browser(v10.....etc).
am trying to install an older version of mi browser that had better features than newer versions , it installs but keeps closing everytime i open it!
is there any workaround to make it work?
I know I'm not answering your question.
But why exactly do you prefer to use a browser filled with ads and junk?

Poco launcher gives you a neat way of hiding those bits of xiaomi scurf that you can't uninstall - why not just do that and browse with Iron or something better?

Regardless of ads or not, why do you still insist on using a inferior browser when there are so many others out there that do a better job.

i already mentioned the cause above!......the old version am talking about has a certain feature that isnt working anymore in new versions!.
All you mention is "the feature I'm looking for" or the "cause I'm looking for"
There's no direct mention or explanation of what you're looking for. Maybe more people will help you if you choose to explain a bit more rather than shut down every comment that's trying to help you.

the reason for posting this topic is to get help regarding running an older version of miui browser that installs but closes everytime i open in oreo/pie/q ......it runs fine on other android phones on nougat!!.
specifying the feature thats working on this old browser and not working on recent versions wont help coz poeple who "try to help" would simply recommend using other newer versions or even different browsers!!
if i wanted to shut comments ....i would have simply ignored any replies without a direct solution!!.
Okay, so you know how it works in the software world. Nobody codes everything from scratch. What we do is build upon the work of others to get what we want. Your previous browser would have been built with various libraries that it hooks into to provide different functionality. Now a new one has come out which was installed on your fone and this is using later versions of the libraries and possibly some APIs may have been dropped. So you're trying to use the old browser with the new libraries and it's entirely possible that the APIs/ABIs it needs are no longer available. So you're SOL. You're going to have to run your browser in debug mode to see what's wrong. I hope it works out for you.
