HTC Flash Player - G1 Apps and Games

I am running KingxKxROM and i noticed the HTC Flash player app while browsing BetterCut and creating an activity shortcut. I made the shortcut and then tried to launch it from the home screen and I keep getting force closes.
1) can this app be independently launched?
2) can this app play adobe shockwave flash objects?
3) can this app play .flv file formatted videos?
I had a Nokia 5610 and it had Flashlite 2.1 and was able to play some shockwave flash objects files but due to its low memory it could only do smaller files and such.
I was wondering if this HTC flash player can do the same. If so, can some one tell me how?

I don't think it's an app to be launched by itself, but through the browser. It comes with most hero builds, and only works on Hero builds

Yeah I believe it is for browser use only. Like if a webpage uses javascript like YouTube, You can watch the video from the actual website & not have to have it open up the YouTube app. That is just one example though. If I am wrong someone please correct me.

Anyone having trouble toggling to fullscreen while watching NFL Network using this app? The video plays fine small but when I hit fullscreen the stream stops. I'm running NFSfans 6.5 final rom. The video opens windows media player by default. Anyway to open the stream in TCMP or streaming media instead?
i cant get around the option to upgrade. I even did a fresh install of the app from the original sprint dump.
I didn't install any updater, but whenever i open the app it tells me to upgrade. The widget still works fine so I just keep that on one of the home screens. So to people who use this app we are kinda boned in terms of checking stats and listening to games, but as long as we use the widget we still get real time scores.
Oh, and also I don't know who likes what teams but if you are interested in listening to some games download "a online radio" from the market. My team is the packers and unfortunately I can't get any of their games, but I have listened to entire Dallas, Pit, and San diego games. Just search espn and it will give you all the available espn radio stations you can stream on your phone.
I dont get any prompts to upgrade. But I am unable to view the NFL Network Stream or the Live Games anymore. I get a black screen with Audio only. Used to work fine.
Other videos within the app work fine.
Anyone else get this?
I have the newest version v2.4.1-1.0.111 I downloaded the .cab file from the sprint site via desktop pc. The cab is named... nfl2009.cab for the HTC Touch qvga 240 x 320. Everything works fine except I cant view nfl network in full screen using the app via media player mobile. Someone in another post said it was possible to view nfl network fullscreen through Sprintv. Problem is I have verizon as a carrier.

Android Native Music App

Just wondering, where can i get the native android music app on the hero? i've been trying to find a good, non-laggy music app for a long time now. The HTC one is laggy as it keeps trying to load album art when i scroll through tracks, this could be because im using class 2 SD card but thats still bad. is it possible to disable the album art loading? I've been using mixzing for a while and its the best substitute so far, good but not great. What are you guys using?
I think the native android music app should work best but i cant find it anywhere in the market, anyone know where to get it?
Personally i use tunewiki
use "3"
search "rockon" in market.
easily the best yet.
lovely UI too
honestly with the combo of the album art grabber app and the stock music player...its better than tunewiki mixzing and 3cubes
I would recomend MixZing. Works well for me.
Here is the .apk for Native Music Player. Confirmed working on Hero. It'll probably ask you to pick defaults for like every action in the app at first, just choose the option for the native player (obviously).
thanks for the apk! but when i push it it says: [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION]
im not sure why, is it because i have the HTC music app as well? i really want to try it! but lately i have been using 3 and it isnt bad, even with all the 3d animations its still pretty smooth surprisingly!

Skyfire supposed to play flash with no need of anyother software to install & I have a major problem not playing any flash on it says "Web Kit Files" missing, any help please?
I'm having the same issues...
I installed flash for 2.1 and while it will most definitely load a game off addictinggames.com i can't tap any of the buttons.
I'm more interested in using it for firstrow.net so I can watch live soccer and baseball, but everytime I direct to that site the regular browser crashes (tries to load flash app) and skyfire gives me the flash 9 exclamtion point.
has anyone had any success withgetting flash to run on this thing? I wouldn't even mind if flash lite 4 ran on it just so long as it started the video. Skyfire will load vimeo but not any others....
I can't believe that everyone else in the entrie android 2.1 community is having zero issues, but I can't find a single thread about issues... the engadget video of the desire running the flash video is so tantalizing...I want the same :-(
just so everyone knows what I have installed, I gott he flash_for_21.apk from the zip file and it installed no issue. .swf files will play in the browser...but anything that has a vimeo, tube8, or regular old flash plugin will not load. the regular browser crashes every now and then and skyfire just refuses to load it (or it notifies that there is a video to watch, and it'll buffer and the video requiring a play click won't load)
help please?! I've got my captivate rooted, sideloading, and bloatware-free, flash is my final frontier!

That's odd, doesn't Skyfire use server-side rendering for flash and push it to the phone after compression? Just like on Windows Mobile?
I'd gotten flash videos to play on my Captivate using Skyfire, just not embedded in the page. I had to click on the little, "Video" tab on the bottom Skyfire menu and then it played.

Same here. Once I do that I can play flash video perfectly.
I can do that, but I'm much more interested in embedded flash working with browser or skyfire.
I have some more **shady** places that I can watch live sports from would be amazing if they worked

You are right, my mistake, i thught it was already availeable. So I will have to wait a bit more, thanks for the information.
Maybe I should close the thread and re-open it after flash has been released.
The app is now starting up, looks, and runs great. I've been waiting for this! Android 2.2~ version on my Droid X is amazing. Just waiting for Flash...

Just tried it out on both my Xoom and Captivate.
I am pretty sure things are working on the Captivate as they should, so used that as a guide. Hehe Test videos played through each host, low Res, but no issues.
OK.. on the Xoom the UI seems fine and works. Problems come up when playing the videos. When playing a Megavideo link the MV interface comes up with no player controls, nothing else happens. When trying Frogmovz or Karambavids.. I get a black screen with no video controls. Touching the center of the screen has triggered play/pause, but I just seem to get audio and no video is shown.
I tried out playing Megavideos through their website and that worked fine for me.

Hi,
The same problems have been reported by using unoficial flash version on htc evo. The solution was uninstall flash and reinstall from market.
Are you using the leaked version of flash 10.2 right?
It should be availeable on 18th on android market for all devices and it should fix the sound with no video issue.
Thanks for the infor, it wil really help us.
I have same issue with Xoom also. Works great and love the app on my fascinate.

Hello,
I have a paid for version of TV Shows Stream, it works on my Nexus One thanks very much for that. I admit that I probably never use it, but I like it and it works most of the time.
I have a Xoom, with v3.0.1 and the leaked Flask 10.2 APK. At this time, flash content via the stock browser seems to work fine but TV Shows Stream does not seem to work properly. All browsers come up with a blank window more or less, I tried a few megavideo and karambozworths.
Yes, it works great on the Nexus One but on the Xoom with the leaked 10.3 flash you can hear the sound but no video. Hope you get it working because it would be great to watch it on a larger screen!
I probably wouldn't be too concerned for now as the leaked version is having issues in other browsers as well. I'm not sure if that'd be because they don't see the leaked version or what... but as with the others, the app works fantastically on my Droid X but has no Video or Audio for the Xoom running the leaked Flash 10.2
Ill update again when its officially released March 18th and reinstalled.
TV Shows Stream full is my fav app and I use it daily on my Droid X with no issues. Cannot wait for xoom compatibility which as previously mentioned should be resolved when the official flash file is available on market March 18 if I read correctly. I will def uninstall the leaked file and load the official 10.2 release and report back on its usuability on my xoom. Great app btw dev. -

I have the Flash leak for my Xoom and I concur the app opens and you can see the list of shows but just cannot play the video (or see the video controls), just a blank screen.
However, I emailed myself a link for a show (from within your app) and then opened the link in the email with my broswer. The video played fine with no problems. Thus I assume when the official Flash 10.2 is released this week we will be able to load the video from right within the app - as I do on my Droid X.
BTW -great app - best money spent on an app. Keep up the awsome work
tv shows
I use the TV shows application all the time on my xoom. Right now u just have to email yourself the link for the video you want to play. I copy and paste the link in dolphin hd browser. Just make sure dolphin hd is in desktop mode. I doing this I can stream video fine, thanks for the great app also I have the leaked version of flash installed.

Hi
Is a usefull workaround but we have the intention to offer a better solutions.
We are almost sure that with the official release of flash player will work as it works most of devices, but we are already working in alternative solutions.
We have already a working solution in some video servers, karambavidz and Loombo (loombo will be added in next update) will have an option for watching the videos using any of the player you have installed on the phone, even native android player. FastForward and RW completelly working and very smooth playback, as not flash player will be used on those videos. More info soon, we are hard working right now on it.
Hi
Can someone uninstall the leaked version of flash and install the official 10.2 from market to chec if the problems still persist? Thanks in advanced.
Yes Haze, I've got the paid version and the behavior is the same. On the Xoom, the leaked version was 10.2.155.67 and todays version is 10.2.166.12 so I suspect very minor changes.

In the next update, Karambavidz video links will be able to be watched in the native android player or any other player , without the need of flash player.
You can also email yourself the link and open it with the dolphin HD broser as a temporary workaround, it has been reported to work fine.
We are working on it , thanks for the testing time.

[Q] Is there any browser or way to allow flash to play when it is in the background?

As a person who uses a browser to stream stuff as they browse it annoys the everliving hell out of me that no browser allows me to play flash when I'm not looking at it. Are there browsers that do allow flash to be played in the background? Or is it because I'm not using the android version of flash? (I'm using a custom version to allow hulu to play.) Is it CM7's fault?
If you can play flash in the background please tell me what browser you use, what kind of flash (market official or custom) and if you use cm7. I'm loving it over vegantab but ill go back if I have to...
Try dolphin browser

If you spend $800 on a moto xoom you will still have this problem. Go out and buy an ipad and you will still have this problem.
What you need is a multi-tasking rom. I think I've seen a video of that once. Can't remember what device.

While it may not be exactly what you want, you could use Pandora. I created a "Final Fantasy" channel and it played similar music as that site...and in the background, too.

Just download a second browser. Use one for browsing and the other for streaming.
Opera keeps flash playing when you are on other TABS in the browser at least. That is as good as it gets on android. Wait for windows 8...
I need the same except Uc,Brave,Firefox,X browsers.
