Hey guys, I just noticed something when going through all my installed apps- The Evo comes with HTC Flash Player preinstalled on 2.1... And it works! Flash support out of the box. Was I the only one that was totally in the dark about this?
How do you get it working?
It just.. works. Browse to a site with flash content, and it should load.
Newgrounds works especially well.
cross my fingers for HULU!!!!!!!
its not full flash its flash lite ^__^

I have skyfire on my Evo and flash works. I tested youtube afterwards. Just go to skyfire.com from your browser and download it.

some of the flash works.. I tried to play flash games in Facebook, or PopCap website, no dice..
Guess I have to wait for Froyo, with Flash 10.1

same here, even some of the video bookmark websites for skyfire dont play
Yeah HTC Sense comes with Flash lite. That's the problem though. It sucks lol. Oh and anyone who wanted Hulu once FroYo is released, bad news. Hulu blocked the user agent string fix so FroYo users can't get Hulu anymore.

Currently watching World Cup games through ESPN3.com on my Evo ...... SOOOOOOOO NICE.
Quality is much better than Sprint TV
You get to replay all the games and watch live ones
Full DVR controls with markers for each important part in the game
BTW, if Apple is still waiting for an example of Flash running well on a phone this is it.
have you tried other site
can you watch videos on fancast, online movie sites, or clicker,tv? what about dvix online videos?
Needs Froyo right? Just tried on Eclair and no go
damnn when are we going to be able to install froyo?

Can you list a couple of those sites that you can watch? I tried Hulu.com and they don't support the Android platform and I went to Adobe for the plugin and they only support Nexus One on Google.
Too bad my ISP is not amongst ESPN3's affiliates, and besides, Nigeria lost to Greece this morning, so i'm in a foul mood already anyway !!!

You can actually watch it on univision.com using Skyfire from the market. No need for flash or froyo and the image quality is spectacular, even on 3G. It's in spanish, but who cares.

I installed this earlier today. I have seen some sites that I could not view, work after installing it. Maybe is placebo. Go to gohastings.com and tell me if you can view their webpage. This is one flash site that i know didn't work, and does now. Maybe is does work and there was just an error.
I did just try hulu and it does not work, some of the video's on justin.tv do.
ESPN3 does not

Installed Froyo and AdobeFlashPlayer beta v.2 and now it indicates that I have Flash 10.1.72.
But I am watching Monster's Ball on megavideo right now. Isn't this site considered flash? I'm computer illiterate so what do I know.
HTC included Flash Lite with the EVO.

Ahh ok. I've just heard so many people complain about it I thought it didn't play any. My HTC HD2 played almost anything. My iphone played nothing. LOL
I actually have HTC FLASH PLAYER 2.1 UPDATE 1. I do not see flash player light anymore. I’m running one of the modded for root 1.47.651.1 roms (look stock still) with new WIMAX and Radio. Thought it was interesting when I went through Titanium Backup. All flash works on my phone...some sites slower than other. I’m looking forward to 2.2 with Adobe Flash Full.
do you need root to play megavideo?

thank you ZENULATOR and vash8806!

Do we know what ROM that is on?
I was skeptical at first... I never figured we could handle something like flash. This is a pretty big step if we can.

Stock Eris ROMs have flash, it's called HTC Flash. We just have the requirements that Adobe put out for 10.1
I have to wonder how many others are refreshing this page, wondering when a dev will say if this is useful lol.

My old Verizon HTC Touch played Hulu videos on Skyfire perfectly before Hulu blocked us from using it. Also, for some reason, it handled other flash sites better than my wife's Droid with 2.2 and 10.1.

HTC Flash is "Flash Lite" it's hardly full 10.1 flash.
video doesnt seem real, theres cuts in the video before and after he touches the screen
Im pretty sure it's real.. I think those "cuts" are just flash being somewhat laggy on his phone...
There is already a flash 10.1 for the eris flying around I have a copy on my computer i believe I'll post it when i get home.
EDIT:Here it is guys, but it only works on the stock browser, im guessing thats why it didn't catch much attention.

stock flash is still just flash lite with a diferent name i believe, this is a flash player that doesn't default to full screen, and has full functionality as if it were on your desktop(games,buttons,links, and such), only mini lolz

I think its full flash, I can play flash games on site and stuff without problems, only thing is that its a little slow and can only be used on stock browser on htc roms because it uses something that flash lite uses on the htc browser.

I agree. It's exactly the same as my wife has on her Droid with Froyo and it says "Adobe Flash 10.1" when installing it with the Adobe logo.

Thanks. This is amazing.
Videos dont work well, but games and animations do. Homestarrunner works fine with that Flash installer.

there is only partial Flash 10 support in Android 2.1. So until we get FroYo, that's what we got.
Skyfire doesn't work. So we have to wait. Thanks all of you.
Moved to general as not development.
Please see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8475563&postcount=2 for guidelines on posting in development.
I feel your pain. I've tried and tried. Just have to wait for 2.2.

Skyfire DOES work. I haven't tried megavideo exactly, but other sites it works perfect. You gotta do some setting changes on your phone.. it was posted 4 weeks ago. Though it's not as good as having 2.2 flash..

Your the one responsible for that Android Browser Hax eh?
since this is a Megavideo thread, may i suggest this application? it lets you download and stream any megavideo video, without flash player and without browser!

My mates Galaxy S plays the live video stream off this website www.koollondon.com
The Nexus S plays the audio but with a green box where the video should be.
I have downloaded the latest version of flash (10.1)
Anyone got any ideas, could this be a Gingerbread problem?
my nexus plays it fine both on Dolphin HD and the stock browser...
Thank you for testing that for me. How odd, all I get is a green box. The audio plays fine tho.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
Just to add i'm using T-mobile in the UK. I haven't tried it over Wifi.
Did you test with Wifi?

What version of flash are you running? I thought Gingerbread came with flash but when i visited a flash website it failed to open and pointed me to download Flash 10.1
I'm on 2.3 and it's giving me the greenscreen too. It also does this when I watch hulu and a commercial plays. The commercial will be green, but the video will display fine.

I just checked my phone, which is 2.3.1. And I don't have flash installed. I could have sworn I did before the 2.3.1 update. So maybe it removes it?
Possibly because people complained about browser lag caused by flash not being optimized or something like that?
So if you install Flash (it points you to 10.1) and try opening www.koollondon.com does the live studio video play or do you just get the audio?

I have the hex edited version of Flash from the Nexus 1 threads that allows it to work with hulu and other sites that have mobile devices blocked from viewing videos. Also I live in the states if that makes any difference.
