Adobe 7 vs Flash 3.1

Please advice:
I install Adobe 7 and when viewing Youtube the quality seem better than flash 3.1 but when I go to the microsoft mobile website to view video then I just can't.
Should I install both Adobe 7 and flash 3.1 or what did I do wrong? I like Adobe 7 cause quality of youtube seems better but slower.
Thanks

Just what is Adobe 7...?

3.1 doesnt load flash sites. ie. clanpi.com

Are you trying out with Opera?

Yes. using opera to get to window media but when I click on video to play it just didn't do anything. Do I have to install something?
I did install fp7_ppc-en.cab
Thanks in advance

I have a similar problem, on certain flashsites i get " you need the latest flash player to view this content" and i have the same package installed, but sites like youtube works fine...what tha hell is this, very annoying.

Flash Lite 3.1 will play back SWF content created with Flash 9 as long as it does not use ActionScript 3. Only ActionScript 2 support is included in Flash Lite 3.1.
Flash Player 7 for PPC is also ActionScript 2 compatible but only targets material created for Flash Player 7 or earlier.

so... how about giving skyfire a try?

Flash lite on 2.3.3

I know its been asked loads and people say its not worth it but anyone made this work? I tried it in 2.1 and it wouldnt work for me.

I'm also interested in doing this. I have an HTC Tattoo running CM7, I can't run Flash 10.1 since my processor is Armv6. I'm looking for a way to make flashlite run, so that I have some flash support in browser.

I would also like to have flash on my phone. I think that either Adobe or someone must rewrite flash to work on armv6. Maybe we should make a petition for Adobe to make flash for our phone?

Hello,
I have some additional info about running Flash on ARMv6 devices. For the time being, our only option is to run Flash Lite 3 or Flash Lite 4. Actually Flash Lite 4 is exactly what we are looking for, since it's a stripped down version of Flash 10.1 that can run on ARMv6 devices!
Dexter's TatFroyoTatoo v0.4 ROM includes Flash Lite 4 from HTC. It's actually ported from HTC Wildfire, and works quite well in my opinion. The down side is that this ROM has Sense UI and apparently HTC Flash 4 plug-in requires it. I'm not a big fan of Sense
I'm currently trying to figure out a way to remove the dependency or include minimum missing dependencies so that I can build an AOSP or CM based ROM that includes Flash Lite 4 for HTC Tattoo/Click. I think it can be done for other devices as well.
Regards,
Tolga

Use Skyfire browser
You can try Skyfire browser it has flash support by converting flash content to HTML 5 on its server

Unfortunately Skyfire just works for videos. It can't play other flash content, so it doesn't work in my case.

I'd love to have Flash Lite 4 or Flash 10.1 too.
However, Adobe has released Flash to HTML5 tool. It works with simple banners for now. But, it just gives us a clear message. Flash is not here to stay. When HTML5 is mass adapted, Flash will have to die.
On the side note, I'd point my hands on Ideos X3.
It was launched recently(in Korea, on last 3rd if memory serves correctly).
It supposedly has a ARMv6 processor yet sport Flash 10.1 on the specs. Would be glad if anyone can rip the apk off this thing.

Recommend that it should not be installed because: not a flash 10 (Gt540 never flash 10) => useless, just a few more loads of banner ads and still not see the flash video, flash game, slower browsing! So who has read this part anywhere, best not to install
Sorry for my Eng!

The reason Id like Flash lite is that some sites use Flash for audio streaming rather than video! This is an example :
http://www.radioreference.com/
I would have thought it should be easy to do that as its minimal processing. Ive tried Skyfire and other browsers and they dont work in this case.

The problem is Flash supports mp3 codec and HTML5 audio supports ogg codec. This is why all those sites are still using Flash. It might or might not work with Flash lite. That's another issue. For music hosts, implementing HTML5 means converting the whole backend.

[Q] Nexus Owners - can you install flash / does it work?

Can anyone who already has one, install flash and report if it works?

i do not have a Nexus 7 but i have a Galaxy Nexus which i installed the I/O version of jelly bean on.
I can confirm that Flash worked perfectly with Firefox (chrome does not support it) and the stock browser (one rom included that).
i tested with amazon prime instant video and youtube.

Yes, you can install Adobe Flash & Air. I've installed both on my device

Questions go in the Q&A section

but make sure you've got it installed by mid-august cause adobe are removing it from the store.

Well let's hope that HTML5 gets more support soon :banghead:

Alternate download source for Flash install files
After mid-August, you may still be able to find Android Flash at the Adobe web site. I'm too new to be allowed to post links here but I found the apk version at the Adobe web site look for the page titled Flash Player Help Archived Flash Player versions.

My nexus 7 is still on pre-order. But I did test the stock browser of my phone running android 2.3.7 for HTML5 from this link:
http://html5test.com/
Looks like HTML5 is not fully supported on the browser I'm using
Can someone that already has the device test this and share the results?

Nexus Player, new Lineage 15.1 Youtube disappears !

I can't find Youtube in my newly installed Nexus Player with Lineage 15.1, web view apk and the correct gapps. Also on Google Play ... Any ideas?
Solved ! by asking the google assistant to search for the application in google Play...

Only an ancient version of youtube app (14.31.50 from 2019) available from the play store

Hi,
I have installed the official lineageos-18.1 and opengapps 11 on my S5 (G900F). For some strange reason, I can only install an old version of the youtube app from the play store (14.31.50 from 2019), which only works once before asking to be updated. Functionality can be restored by clearing data but this is not sustainable. Has anybody seen this and can this problem be fixed? Thanks!

It's only very recently that this version of YouTube has stopped working. I think the Play Store just doesn't serve newer versions to the S5, but you can probably sideload newer versions.
I use YouTube Vanced, the current version of which works fine on the S5, but the current versions of that are broken with Chromecast. Apart from that, it works fine for playing videos.
Around the same time as your post, someone on Reddit encountered the same issue on a Note 3. They resolved it by installing an APK - presumably from one of those mirror sites?
And finally, here's an issue on the LineageOS issue tracker which may be worth a read: YouTube app is not getting update.

Thanks for the link to the bug. I did try sideloading the apk and it did work, but it is not really sustainable in the long run. I will keep looking.

Any news on this? The same thing happens to me on LOS 18.1 and an Galaxy S4 LTE (GT-I9506).

Fixed by installing a newer version off of apkmirror.com, not really a good (=permanent) fix though.
