[ThinkTank] Full Flash on Vibrant?

Since the Samsung Vibrant browser has the ability to use plug-ins(like flash lite) would it be possible to Flash 10.1 in place of the flash lite plugin? Developers were able to do this with htc 2.1 phones(and fairly simply too), so it should be able to work on the Galaxy S devices, or any phone that accepts plugins really.
Any thoughts?

I was able to install the Flash 10.1 on my Vibrant and it works pretty good.
Haven't have any problems in loading any flash games or websites.

How were you able to do that? Is there a thread on this elsewhere, or is it something really simple? Please share lol.

+1 on the sharing how you did that. Adobe says its only available on the nx1 running 2.2.

^^^ I had the Adobe Flash APK for 2.1 since I had my HTC Evo.
You can find it here on the HTC Evo Forums or just send me a PM with your email and I'll send it to you.
I installed it on my Galaxy S since I got it.
I'm a noob here so I don't know how to post it here.

Here are a couple of pictures.

i did it as well. works great so far

I installed that flash for 2.1 from that other thread you posted the link too. It's not working for me, is there something else I need to do to configure it?

Any real dev wanna give us an answer? i know for a fact that the flash apk that they provided wont work. it only works on HTC devices. A dev needs to modify the apk so it acts as a plugin and installs in the right place.

The pictures I've seen posted here, could have been working using flash lite that's already installed... I can install it and have it show up in my apps list as installed, and still display things using flash light, but if you go to m.flash.com it will tell you that it's not working. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that the people that think this is working, it's not really. They are seeing stuff using flash lite.

Transparent Power Control and Genie widget

So I noticed that CM6 Froyo Remix ROM was missing the Genie weather and the customizable Power Control widget. I use only those two widgets on a daily basis and it would be nice if someone could point me in the right direction.
I've already tried Googling and downloading a transparent Genie widget from another site but after installing the widget, my phone had to force close the app maybe because it wasn't compatible?
Anyways, it would be nice if somebody can help me. Thanks in advance!

maybe u can try beautiful widget instead

I've already tried that app and honestly it isn't my cup of tea.
Is it possible to just extract the genie apk from a ROM and install it onto the one I'm currently using?

thats probably because you have to completely uninstall the old one first
go into root explorer or whatever file manage you use and DELETE the newsandweather or geniewidge apk
then reboot, just to be sure
then install it
bet it works then

This ROM I'm currently using didn't come with the Genie weather apk at all. I also confirmed this by using ASTRO to search in the apps folder.

then it may be permissions
paste it in system/app
set it for rw-r--r like the other system apps
then reboot, it will install it on boot up
been awhile since i used it, i forgot about this

I'm sorry but can you tell the procedure step by step with which app I'll be needing to get this accomplished?
Thanks in advanced!
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App

Nvm... I just Googled it myself. C;
I used to ADB to remove the GenieWidget.apk and used this command to reinstall the transparent widget:
adb remount
adb push GenieWidget.apk /system/app/GenieWidget.apk
I'm sure majority of the people here already know how to do all this but I'm typing this as a reference in case I flash my phone again.

Hmm tried to install this on CM6-RC1, but now i can't load my new & weather anymore lol.
Luckily i made a backup.

Stock Android Lockscreen

Hey guys. I'm still on stock but fully rooted and s-off and cwm. Any idea how to flash the standard lockscreen? Hate the HTC one.

Try to rename htclockscreen.apk to htclockscreen.apk1 in system/app folder. I don't know but maybe you also should rename htclockscreen.odex. And reboot.

You have to change /system/app in root explorer to Mount r/w instead of r/o at the top right. Hope this helps.

If you change the lock screen does the alarm still work? I remember on the Desire Modaco ROMS if you disabled the HTC lockscreen then the alarm couldn't be disabled without a battery pull.

Bah, I've been wanting to get rid of the HTC lock screen since day 1. I eagely entered "mv htclockscreen.apk htclockscreen.apk1" to be hit with the read only error. Is there a easy way to get write permission in /system/app? The results from Google are rather confusing and I didn't want to enter them directly on the phone with the little keyboard.

If its not changing then the phone is not rooted properly or root explorer doesn't have super user permissions. Open super user and check root explorer is showing in the list. Maybe try running visionary again?

Install root explorer from market. Your phone must be rooted for this to work though. Have you rooted your phone?

Why not do as i did ? Install the lockscreen you want that autostarts and works with your phone, then uninstall the htclockscreen with titanium backup. Works perfect for me and i never have to see that ugly htclockscreen again Im using widgetlocker and i think it's the best out there, nothing even comes close to it, it's well worth the money.

This fixes the alarm problem (and you can turn off the HTC alarm by setting off an alarm with it). No choice of alarm tone though, I did quite like having soothing music wake me up...
And as I discovered last night the screen doesn't time out.

I agree, top app IMO

Any idea how to replace the HTC Lockscreen with a "empty" one so you don't have to unlock twice if you use a unlock pattern?

I have saved on my computer Ryan's z4root.apk from 2-3 weeks ago, that will still Root won't it if I ever need on Stock 2.1.1?

I'd suppose it would - he just had to take out the root feature for some reason. The application wasn't defective.

[Q] New Music App (honeycomb?)

so the new music player supposedly to be released with honeycomb is out via apk. anyone been able to get this working on cm 6.1?

I've tried installing it via terminal but only force closes. Most likely because its made for hdpi devices and not mdpi

I heard somebody had got one version of it working on their slide, not sure of the rom. Probably CM6... Except it had a problem with draining the battery.
Unless uhh, I'm delusional. But I think that's what it was.

When i had the apk, n tried opening it on astro wouldnt show the apk. Well it would show but would tell me 2 extract it only. Wouldnt show me th eicon of the music player to install it.
