[Help] No browsers other than stock working on Cyanogenmod port - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey folks,
I've been busy porting Cyanogenmod 12.1 to the HP Slate 21 (s100 and k100). I've a stable build which works really nice other than a few issues I've been trying to fix. The only browser the works is that stock one that comes with it. If I do Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox (or any other browser), it loads but shows a black screen. This was not an issue in the stock 4.4.2 version. I can provide logs, screenshots, etc if they are needed.
Thanks in advance!
Peace,
Quaesar

[Q] Flash Player on the Viewpad 7

Hey guys,
any of you managed to get flash player 10.1/2/3 going on your viewpad 7? I found this cracked apk file on the net call flashplayer for armv6. It installed OK(at least seemed to be) but didn't make actual difference to the device. I still can't play facebook games, still can't play web-based flash... I've tried with different web browers but none of them would work, very sad....
I fully get it flash player only suppose to work with armv7 + but there's gotta be ways around this right??

hi
providing craked software ie Warez is against the rules of this forum
this just for ur info
This thread is Moved to General
Are Warez the only solution?
While we're on topic, how come Flash isn't installed on the ViewPad 7? I have it on all my other (2) devices. I just figured that Flash was an Android standard.

I guess the CPU (600 MHz) and/or main board does not support Flash. It's the hardware, not Android.
EDIT: I heard that some of the mobile browsers do support flash on it own.
I think that Opera Mobile or Opera Mini do support it.
Think there is aleady flash 10.1 for our pad you can download it urself or install custorm ROM regads
Flash alone link:

ROM(kernel "overclocked to 850Mhz" and Flash 10.1 included-please read hw version note):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224825
I will be loading this ROM tomorrow(most probably)
regards zbig0
Let us know how it works.
I"m not keen on rooting.
Knowing how inept I am, I will surely brick it.

Hi,
I have installed few custom ROMs already so feel quite safe... if your install prior to custom ROM eq Clockworks recovery then even if you brick pad you can recover and load whatever ROM u want...
I have now EUViewpad7 1.4 with build in flash ability and OT to 850Mhz and some tweaks...Rom works fine no issue with it.
Flash? hmm Works overally only problem I see is flash-Video--> when you try to wach it there are some color artefacts(which makes picture weird you can see video but colors get weird) or as with justin.tv browser is closing up but flash games etc works fine(maybe little slow).
Appreciate the advice.
Have 1.5 GB available but can`t install anything since RAM is down to 25 MB.

Gnash
The limitation is that the CPU only supports an ARMv6 instruction set, and closed-source Adobe Flash Player (tm) has been compiled for an ARMv7 instruction set. I do not see how a ROM update could solve that. Theoretically a ROM update could emulate an ARMv7 instruction set, but is that realistic for a platform that is mostly open source?
The more practical option would be to port Gnash to the Viewsonic devices. I cannot post links, but there is a page out there on how to build Gnash on android.
BTW, the thread is entitled "Viewpad 7", but it's also the same issue on the Viewsonic v350 smartphone.
i've tried the las flashplayer 10.2 and used Dolphin HD explorer and all works fine. Facebook games also works fine!

Maybe this is a difference between Viewpad 7 and the v350 smartphone. I was able to install that 10.2 package you posted, without error, but it fails to render flash content on the v350. I went to a couple different flash testing pages, including the one on the adobe website. It displays a Lego-looking box (like the puzzle piece that used to appear years ago); it's as if flash was never installed.

I have installed the latest flash 10.2
it all seems to be working swimmingly except for one app
ESPN goals
The video of footy goals actually plays well except for a message bang in the middle of the screen blocking the main action
it states
"Cannot play video
Sorry, this video cannot be played."
and closing this message also closes the playing video
I guess this is an app/software issue and as such modification is needed which is a shame
Reinstalling an older version of espn goals seems to have worked 1.6 (I could not find 1.7)
1.8 is the latest
i just installed the flash player 10.2 on my viewpad 7 but i still cant play flash. It displays the lego with a "?" inside. In fact, when i go to setting manage application, i dun see the flash player running. What can i do?
Flash doesn't work
I've installed the EUviewpad-Rom 1.7. Flash seems to be included but doesn't work. My Viewpad has ite-hardware / hw1.07. On flashbuilder.eu it shows that flash isn't running.
for those who installed flash player on viewpad 7, is it choppy when watching videos online?
Unable to use Adobe Flash
I have tried all the Flash APKs found on this site. None work - period. My Viewpad 7 is HWVer 107 and is in factory unmodified condition. If anyone is having success running any of these versions of Adobe Flash, it would be helpful to elaborate on both the ROM version and browser you are using. Any further information would be greatly appreciated.
The core issues being that Vpad7 is based on ARMv6 CPU, which Adobe excluded when designing Flash Player 10.x development, so it really doesn't matter our hardware ver. is 106 or older, and newer ones v.107 - whether it's ITE touchscreen or not being irrelevant in this case. Java is installed along with Flash Player 10.1 or 10.2 - but it simply will NOT run.
Those with non-ITE hardware perhaps are luckier as their kernel can be over-clocked to run faster, so whatever workarounds or fixes can get it to run for them.
I have a HTC Eris with similar specs. and we had 10 times development work from XDA'ers, LOL, over what's dedicated here for the Vpad7, trying various patches to get it to run - and, still N.G. (no good.) The newer devices, like my HTC Incredible 2 with better specs - 1G CPU and add'l RAM - run Flash 10.1 out of the box - been rooted & running custom ROM to upgrade it to run better & faster.
Been uninstalling, re-installing both 10.1 and 10.2 - Dolphin HD browser & Skyfox browser plus the default ones - my summary: it simply won't do it. Moving on to other Apps that can be optimized, just my 2 cents. of course.
Cheers !
P.S. However, as long as I can watch YouTube on it like now, whether it's Flash 10.x or not, really doesn't matter to me (anyway.)

CM 10.2 works but no gApps

Hi folks,
First of all thank you for the great forum and special thanks to after_silence for his roms!
After using 10.1 for a couple of month without any problems i decided to upgrade to 10.2.
Since I was struggeling in the past in order to activate the bootloader with my devices buttons I decided to use Flashify to flash the new 10.2 and the recommended gApps afterwards.
Cyanogenmod 10.2 works without problems. It has booted and optimized all of the Apps but not a single App from Google works (Youtube, Gmail...)
It's even worse. The OS continiously reports that the app (Google Keep, YOutube, ...) just crashed.
Can anyone help?
Best regards

KK Camera problem

Hi to everyone,
I tried several kind of Rom 4.4.2 CM and AOSP and in all of this kind of rom i found a problem with camera that goes in FC.
The first time after install it seems work well but then some second of use goes in fc, starts to crash and device restart and this happens Always camera comes open.
I search and tried some apperently Fix but without success.
thanks
Flashing this might help you.. http://www.mediafire.com/?795s91e1b548gxa
thanks
for link.
I tried but doesn't work. I tried an orginal rom based on AOSP and on this seems work.
Now I must install a 4.1.2 to have an efficent device.
I've been on SlimSaber (SlimKat unofficial by fusionjack) and never once had this issue in quite a few months. However I've also tried 4.4 pac, beanstalk, spirit rom and probably others that I've forgotten without this problem.
To ask the obvious, you do install these roms with a full wipe right? The other thing, are you using the official aosp camera that comes with the rom? Or another app that uses the camera (e.g snapchat, instagram for example? There's a bug with the nexus 5 in which the camera will sometimes crash when using it with a third party app. I guess it's possible for this bug to filter down to our device... As I don't use any such apps I can't comment on my own experience with that. But google that issue to read more, you'll find plenty on forums about it.

Hi,
and thanks for the reply.
I tried OMNI rom that is based on AOSP and now la SOKP.
For now only the Omni has been the better with the camera, but this rom doesn't have the same setting of a Slim.
SOKP goes like other AOSP rom. When camera is active for some moment seems work well so moving device to see and touch the screen on photosphere it goes in FC and reboot.
Some days ago, i do this test drag the Omni rom camera on Slim. result app in fault like all rom.
Can anyone explain me why happen if android, base rom are the same?

[Q] Chrome Unfortunately has Stopped on PA 4.4 RC1 (C6806)

Hello all.. I'm Curious if anyone else has had any problems with chrome (or the chrome beta) crashing on PA 4.4 RC1. I can open it and look through bookmarks and settings but when I enter a URL and hit go it crashes...?.? I tried Firefox and it works fine. I've also done a full wipe with CWM and reinstalled the ROM and Gapps from scratch. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes this is known issue. It has been reported in the Paranoid Android google+ community. You have to wait for a fix or maybe there are other solutions in the community. You have to look but to answer your question, this is a known issue. Not just your device. Use another browser temporarily if possible.

Here maps crashes on launch (tried several ROMs, events log provided)

This is my device:
Xoom MZ604
I have tried with the stock rom 4.1.2 and others such as EOS 3.0 stable 4.1.1, Cyanogenmod 10 4.1.2 and Cyanogenmod 10.1 4.2.2, all of them running smoothly.
Problem is that on either of them I cannot run Here Maps, I even tried with old beta versions but as soon as I open it it closes immediately. Best I could achieve is a black screen on CM 10.1 4.2.2.
I am attaching the debug logs:
here.app.maps-debug.txt (events when trying to open here maps)
before_opening-debug.txt (event before opening here maps, the app it is mentioned in some lines).
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Same here. Try contacting them thorough email which is available at play store Nokia here app page and provide them the details.
