we all know that adobe has stopped development on Flash for mobile devices.. however, some have been able to save the last flash apk file..
I was wondering, why do developers not add this to their Roms so we dont have to look for said apk and install manually? does it somehow break the rom or perhaps make the rom "slower"?
The reson most people don't include is that adobe stopped development there is a reason, why add something buggy to a rom which is trying to have kleast bugs possible? Everything is turning to html5 coding, but if you really want just download it from trhe android general section, or download pimp my rom and extract it from there and just add it personally to any rom, or install it and when you backup apps before flashing you'll always have it. plus Opera has it embedded and opens anything without probs....

sounds reasonable..
hmmm.. opera you say? i have been using quick ics... havent really used opera since my symbian days... tried dolphin, ics plus, maxthon, and quick...
Thanks for your reply.
Some problems
But it's kind of strange when there are still sites and elements which aren't included in HTML5, maybe it was too fast, and ASOP browser has sometimes problems as well..

this is not 100% right. theres still some (bit) development in flash apk even for GB time to time but the main reason why adobe say our devices are not supported are: like u said right (previous) versions was laggy or dont work, and 2nd thing was many ppl complained to adobe that sth in some browser in some custom rom didnt works, and adobe said that they werent very well interested iin shipping flash to all devices (to much dev. and $ maybe ) thats why some devices have a flash-certification, they are still able to download flash via playstore.--
so short said yes they said its not avaiable, so nobody complains, and who cares (want it) can easily download it still.. also ur right some browser have built in flash :good: , but everybody who need flash can download it from adobe - but they say on its site its not supported to avoid complainments/etc.
for me - i need flash - and it works very well. also thers nearly every mounth a new version, so it seems ther is some developing :good:
link to apk (for jb use 4.0/ics version; w/ normal install): http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
ahh i forgot to say and further reason is that (many) flash objects like embedded youtobe flash code on site are real perfomance-eaters,another reason why there are not maked/meant for our (low memory and cpu) devices, so ur true if u say it sometimes lag... (i browse allways in desktop mode )
Ye Its Buggy
Can I just download Opera and use flash without downloading anything else?

Flash Lite V3.1 Cab!
Large HowTo
It works! and its in a cab! Works in opera, youtube, google videos, some basic flash games!
For it to work:
*Opera and flash need to be installed in the SAME place (main memory or SD card)
*Be using the newest Opera Build, 1938 ( Upgrade cab here)
*Have WM6.1 Core 20000+ (Some 19000+ builds work, and some WM6 work, but it seems to be a bit unreliable - WM5 will not work atm)
*Do NOT Use the official beta, it DOES NOT WORK
*Remove all other version of flash first, it will not work if they are installed/cooked into your rom
Other:
*If you want to uninstal it, its called Anryl My Mobile Application
*This does not seem to work with IE
*This will NOT work with opera Mini
*This does not seem to work on netfront
*The Null keyboard cab attached is to deal with the problem with the virtual keyboard poping up when you click on a flash vid, its a bit messy but works for the time being.
*Wont work with WM standard untill there is a version of opera 9.5 for it. (unless there is?)
*Seems in some cases you need to hard reset before it will work, try both cabs first though.
Working on (for some people):
*Hermes CRCV13 nakes BS (me)
*prophet
*Kaiser
*might be other I have missed
Geting it:
*First post about it + 4shared link
*Attached to this post
Report back:
Did it work?
What device?
What build of Opera are you using?
What build is your rom?
Are you using anryl's cab (attached to this post) or Dvha79_ddt's (links just below)?
I did not rip this, I just posted the info here for everyone
All credit to anryl for extracting it!
We have another Cab!
See here
All credit to dvha79_ddt for this one!
Can you give feedback if ones more stable than the other ect!

hi everyone!
i have some doubts about vanilla (froydvillain) vs sense. i recently rooted my hero and flashed a recovery, but i'm using stock 2.1 rom... so here you have some questions: (sorry if they are epically stupid LOL)
1. does 2.2 vanilla has flash lite in the browser... for example, when you go to a site in my current rom (2.1 official) you can see the flash animations etc., is it possible on vanilla?
2. does froydvillain support live wallpapers? (i know that they are useless but i love eye candy xP)
3. is there any app that has multi touch in sense and in vanilla doesn't?
4. will the lack of sense, in your opinion, be negatively noticeable? like the dialer, gallery, etc. if yes, are there any third party apps to compensate?
5. finally, what kernel should i choose?

1. No
2. Yes, subject to the usual limitations of the hero hardware regarding 3D wallpapers
3. Not that I know of
4. Not really to me, try nubdialer which should be in the rom, or dialer one. The gallery is a nuisance, but there are recommendations in the thread.
5. I would honestly use the stock one (ie. don't flash any one afterwards), as the ROM is sufficiently fast with no overclock to beat most phones with overclock (in terms of daily use)
thank you for the quick reply! i was going to ask about flashing the kernel but since you said it is not necessary i'll just forget it... about the gallery i'll just google it, about flash lite if i really really miss it i'll just go back to 2.1 rom... xD
well, thank you again!
i'm sorry for posting again, but at the download page are various links, one for the rom and a bunch for the kernels, my question is, do i have to download any kernel or is it "included" in the rom link? i know it is a noob question but it got me confused since at the list of kernels is the "normal" one (576mhz)...

I am using FroydVillian 1.5, it is super fast, stable and the looks are amazing. I do not miss the sunse UI at all, I miss the widgets, but they just use up performance anyway. I flashed the 576 kernel, which was a lower version number than the one that came with it...but as of right now, I have had FV 1.4 and liked it enough to get FV1.5. I have cycled through many roms, and these are the best in my opinion for everyday use...

Hi,
I´m writing this post to notify that there is a new official update from toshiba.
I cannot give more information, because my folio is in SAT, but the version number might be "18/02/2011 (2.2.5.0131)". I have no info about changes yet, but I´ve red something about preparation for the new flash player and more utilities.

Maybe we have new materials for our favourite mods (for me, Folionotion and foliomod, I can´t decide).
Any additional info will be wellcome, thanks

I have installed it.
It seems to be more performance in 3D games.
Flash plugin preinstaled, and it can run the flash animation in Toshiba's web page .
It solves some bug about brong accelerometer axis in some games.
But no Android Market, only the same *sigh* Toshiba Market.
The question is whether we can install FolioMod on top of this update or not. For me,it's not worth updating this without DexterMod, which is already very good imo

THIS UPDATE WILL BLOCK YOUR UPDATE OPTIONS, AND BYE BYE CUSTOM ROMS
I confirm that the root of 5.0131 is ok yessssssss !
I'm guessing this updates the recovery kernel, and the recovery kernel is the only place that the recovery kernel is visible from to write? So root access is not enough for a simple way of updating the whole OS partition.

they might have blocked it on the new update as well, making it really hard to get revert.. but on previous editions you can easily write a new recovery.
the partition is visible at partition 7, but this might have changed.
i have not had the luxury to look at the actual update, so what is inside, is for me to find out.. then we get all the nasty details.
ok guys... anyone having installed this update pls kindly report the following:
1. stability status
(crashes freezez sod)
2. software issue - can sideloaded applications be installed and used?
3. root ability ?
4. 3d games like dangeon defenders working ?
5. custom flashing ability?

basicly the tablets works has it was ment to be i think that toshiba might even suprise everyone by realeasing honeycomb for this tablet in future
When I go to Toshiba Service Station, there is no update available(using Dexters wonderful foliomod). How do I get to see it and if I want to install how do I keep all the wonderful stuff on it already. This is my wifes and not mine so she will get pissed off if she loses everything on it again?

unless it got market, gmail and syncing support, its not like its meant to be yet..
and honeycomb will not appear as display is just 1024x600, so no chance of a google certification for folio100 here, same as with gapps support. so forgot toshiba solving that..
Saw people got honeycomb running on nook color with the same resolution screen... no certification does not mean that is not possible...so we still can have our fingers crossed on that

Just read about the new update and the issues with it. I have my Folio sent in for repair and they always update to the latest firmware before sending back to customer, so it looks like im in deep ****. I know how to use adb and fastboot, use them all the time on my desire hd and my VEGA. Maybe someone could write a good guide on how to flash this old recovery and which of all the rooting procedures that works with the new firmware. I also dont know how to get Folio in fastboot. But if we have a working root we can flash the old recovery or clockwork recovery, is that right? Because if not i might as well throw it away. No use in trying to sell it, no one will buy a useless tablet anyways. HOPING FOR A GUIDE CALLED: HOW TO RESTORE YOUR FOLIO WITH FLASHABLE RECOVERY
Hi, at Uplinq conference Qualcomm announced that they worked very closesly with Adobe to make the Flash player available for mass market devices and get this, they said that our 800Mhz msm7227 is first mass market SoC that will support it!
Here you have official press release.
With proper hardware acceleration this could allow smooth playback of 360p clips and GPU accelerated flash shouldn't slow down browser that much.
Now it's just up to adobe to release supported version of flash and maybe up to samsung to release new firmware
EDIT: Decided to add a poll to see what will you do with flash after finally getting it on your device
Great news!
This is great!!!

Finally. Thx 4 the info
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA Premium App
Few things about this announcement that I keep thinking about:
1) this new version of flash will probably need new drivers developed by qualcomm to make flash work as it should so this means that samsung will have to release new firmware after the latest 2.3.3, so maybe with 2.3.4?
2) New drivers could mean improvements to the 3D performance
3) Samsung please do everything to give us full flash support!
honestly I don't use flash that much. the only thing I do use it for is flash videos and skyfire does the trick brilliantly! sure there are a few bugs but the browser is improving day by day. i see little to no use for me! but for some people that love flash games this is indeed great news!
I personally love not having no flash on my phone...too much adverts in my opinion!
This is my first post here. I want to buy this phone in recent times. In post above you mentioned skyfire browser. Does it show flash content even in this phone that does not support adobe flash?

AFAIK skyfire allows user to enjoy flash videos without flash on device. It transcodes(or whatever) the flash videos to something that is supported by the device.
Don't know precisely how it works cause I'm still using default system browser.
Nope. It only allow to watch videos, but not all. For example on a site with few embedded it will play only the first one.
And not all sites are supported.

Thanks for clearing that up, now I learned something new too
After more than a week of people voting in the poll I decided to summarise it.
1) 56,41% of people will use it to watch flash videos and that was to be expected.
2) 43,59% of people will show that their Ace supports flash, which I think is very funny and I will do the same. What's more interesting is the fact that only 35,9% will use it to play flash games.
3) 7,69% will not download it. I find it strange considering how many people longed for flash support.

Sorry for the stupid question - it's been a while that I used my X10 Mini Android phone...
I am trying to revive my phone for my son and just installed newest stock ROM from Sony. Everything works as Sony - expected, however I do not find e.g. the App Kytephone in the store to install. I heard that this app pretty much close down the phone and makes any android phone a great kids phone.
Any help how I can install that app? Any stting or update to marketpalce needed Would updating to any custom ROM might make that App available to install ? Which one is most stable (as my son shouldn't use too many features anyway...)
THANK YOU!
It needs Android 2.2 or higher, and sony's latest update is 2.1, that's why you can't find it in the store, so upgrading to a custom froyo or gingerbread rom should do the trick

Awsome - thanks, will try. I know this is a non-checker question and it all depends on individual opinions... However, could you name any ROM that has its strength in stability and battery life?
I would go with MiniCM7, the last version to run on stock kernel was 2.0.7, which is quite stable.
Or you could try this, which should run on 2.1 too

The market will only show apps that are suitable for our phones. You get more choice if you run the latest custom rom (which is Jellybean), but the market will also take into account things like the screen resolution, and the architecture of the chip used.
Apps developed specifically for Armv7 or higher won't run on our phones, which have Armv6 architecture, and if an app requires a resolution higher than 240x320, then the market won't show those options either.
If you want to try an app that is unsopported, find a .apk for that app (use a general search for that app), copy it to your sd-card and install it from there. If the app checks it's own requirements (rather than let google-play decide if it's appropriate) it still won't install though. Sometimes you'll get lucky, but that is really rare.
Usually the only way to get an 'unsupported' app to run is to get a different device that fulfill it's requirements.
