Hi everyone!
I've just bought a Samsung Galaxy Mini (GT-S5570). It seems that the flash player is not installed, nor supported by this device. Is this right?
Did anyone tried to install the flash player on it with any success?
Thanks,
Ciprian
uhmm.. dude i also can feel you..
the thing is.. the galaxy s5570 doesn't really support any flash.. it has been really the most disappointment to the galaxy mini.. since i really expected that it would support it.
As what my research goes, adobe team doesn't claim any unsupported smartphones since they said that "THEY REALLY WANT TO SUPPORT EACH AND EVERY SMARTPHONE, BUT THE ONLY THING IS THAT WE DON'T CONTROL THE SUPPORT BECAUSE ONLY THE MANUFACTURER'S CAN CORRECT THAT"
So it means we need to contact the SAMSUNG PEOPLE. But unfortunately i tried to ask it by emailing them but i cant seem to get their email. and i tried their own site for contacting but they dont support S5570 and it really bugs me since this PHONE is new yet they dont support it.. [email protected]#[email protected]#[email protected]#
sighs.. all we can do for now is try to contact ASAP the samsung on what solution can we get since for me galaxy mini wont really lagg in FLASH.. but i guess the other way is to wait here and support the developers who are trying to find a way to have a FLASH PLAYER for Galaxy s5570..
PS: i tried already installing the adobe flash apk file but it would install but wont work.. so no good... AND i also tried the SKYFIRE.. it can support every kind of VIDEO FILE EXCEPT FLV..
its really a VERY VERY VERYY BIG DISAPPOINTMENT to the samsung manufacturers..
PS again: if your wondering why i bought this phone and it doesn't support flash.. is that it is the only available smartphone in my subscriber and i need a plan that BADLY in order to contact many people...
Any news on this? I installed Gingerbread and flash installed for me, but both browsers show "Plug-in content" and there's no way to play it..
Maybe there's an app for it? Cause well youtube works via the app.
Flash is currently armv7 only so your phone doesn't support it
(it's armv6)
There is flash lite(atleast on my phone) which allow viewing swfs and plays youtube videos in stock browser
Try getting the apk
just try to install adobe flash player 10.2 pre release.. it make your browser could play flash file. i am using skyfire 4.02. and works well.

think u need to be on a custom rom
that flash player app is just for Optimus One.Besides the ARM 6 platform the LG has 512MB ram and the S5570 384MB,i think here is the difference.The Mini is a low end device,so flash support on browsers wouldnt be available...and if a developer manages to get it work it will run with alot of lag...and make your device "heat up",in my opinion is much more convenient to use the Youtube app from the market,and if u really need to get fully flash support upgrade or go to a PC.This is 100$ device,what would you aspect?

It also works on mine.It doesnt matter ammount of RAM here(it matters only if you use a browser with 50+tabs and want to watch a clip),flash will stress mostly the CPU,and since LG Optimus ONE and Galaxy Mini has THE SAME CPU AND THE SAME GPU i dont think it's a problem.
I also use TJ's CM7 with normal clock on cpu(600Mh'z) and i dont have any problems at all.
cum ai reusit?
i'd found this (download below) it says that is version Adobe_flash_v10_3_for_ARMv6,now i'm instaling it to see if it works...
...it is confirmed to work with Dolphin browser HD but i dont what to say about Dolphin,sometimes wont save files from rapidshare,zippyshare,filesonic etc. and i dont know why
here's how to get adobe flash(on the stock browser)
1) install any custom rom dat is dere for ur mini be it cm,andro-id or vanilla
2) overclock ur mini 2 a little above 700mhz(cant be sure about d min frequency dat u need to be on for flash 2 work,srry 4 dat)
3) now install d apk file http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=724095&d=1316405253
4) tada! adobe flash on ur mini
ps: overclocking burns ur cpu, nd using flash on ur mini leads to unstabillity(expect a lot of fc's)
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Thanks for the flash hints because the basic Adobe Flash Player doesn't run on my Samsung.

I found a flash player plugin .apk
but idk if it would ever work also found this flash player for 2.1
But nothing i wanna know if there is a way to play a .swf file on my x10 mini
by any way like converting it to other format or idk finding a flash player idk a java one that could be ported
Maybe you can share the .apk here so other can test it because i think there are no flash support for this Phone
Flash is not possible on x10 mini, The harware is not supported.
Minis n d pros have ARMv6 and adobe built flash for ARMv7 and higher...
So hardware inccompatible, no flash
sent from ma xperia mini pro CM6 v3.2.1
434Mhz ARM11(v6):
Nokia 5800 procesor
Haz this something to do with ARMv6 i think its the same and i Flash lite is (lite)???
Well im not loosing hope will be updating info and i will share the plugin
cause it didnt gave me an error when playing but Force close.
Did anyone install flash player 10.2 and its works? Is any chance to run it on our minis/mini pro? i have CM3.4 but i still have reebots until instalation finish..
mini and mini pro have arm v6 processors. adobe only supports v7 for flash. won't work even if installs.
how about port? change something in database of Flash player? is this possible?
Not to my knowledge, this phone wont ever get flash, its a basic hardware limitation, not a kernel prob or something that can be worked around, basic core of flash requires a processor that our phones dont possess
Sent from my X10mini using XDA App
I had the Adobe FLash PLayer 10.1 for 2.1 working on xPeria x10 mini.
I had downloaded it, put it on the sd and installed with AppInstaller, reboot and working.
Anyway, I edited my ROM and it's not working anymore, when i touch a video the browser try to download it (and it fails). When FLash worked it show the landscape screen and the video starts (like the youtube.apk).
I have the 2.0.A.0.504 compilation.
PD: It's works for videos, don't know if works with flash games (not tested)
EDIT: I realize that if you delete semcvideo, adobe flash does not work.
Mate, you probably had the video viewed with the youtube player.
Flash uses ARM v7 chipset instructions. So, unless someone ported the v7 instructions to v6 within the code, it won't run on mini and mini pro. It will run on the X10 allright, as it has v7. Originally Adobe wanted to support v6 aswell, but they changed their minds...
even when you fake adobe to think you have an ARMv7 processor it won't work just tested it
and by the way adobe is working on a v6 compatible flash
but i can't be sure if it is ARMv6 or ARMv11 wich use ARMv6 "layout"

Yes you are right, sorry, it's viewed with the default player (not youtube).
The advantage of installing the flash.apk is that you can touch on any flash video (from any website, I even tried a pr0n one ), the semcvideo player starts on full screen and streams the video. When you close it, you see the browser again.
Without the flash.apk when I touch a video, android try to download it to the SD card and I can't see it until it's full downloaded.
It's not real flash, but enough for me.
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.

tested on: justin.tv wrzuta.pl

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.)
Hii Forum!
My question is this:
Now, is posible adding the flash player in samsung galaxy mini?
urgent!!, is it possible? how do I put it?
Thank you!
No real, because it have ARMV6 processor. But, there are ports, but they are laggy.

Skyfire Web Browser 4.0
if you want to watch a video then you can download Skyfire Web Browser 4.0..it converts the flash video and plays it on your phone not having flash
Use Puffin browser it supports flash natively and works flawlessly.
I was thinking of getting a mini (I like the small size fits in my pocket). It comes with Android 2.2 which I thought had Adobe Flash built-in like my Samsung SGHT959 does. I know it's not as powerful with 600MHZ I expected flash video would be really choppy but no flash at all?
EDIT**
Looks like it's true Galaxy Mini doesn't come with Adobe Flash but it's possible to add it if your phone is rooted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1309880
Anyone know of a phone same size as mini but with Adobe flash built-in?
Flash player depends on the ARM version (ARMv7 is required) more than the clock speed. For example the OG Droid only has a 600mhz processor but its ARMv7 so flash will work.

If that were true no one would have flash running on the mini. Search the Galaxy Mini thread and you'll find that Adobe flash does run on the Galaxy Mini with both stock and custom roms. It probably doesn't run very smooth which I expect but it does run. Obviously having a more powerful CPU in your phone will yield smoother playback but Adobe flash is not CPU dependant.

Okay, it can be modded to run on ARMv6 but you cannot download it from Google Play unless you have ARMv7.

Hey all, thanks for taking the time to read this
I have a question about browsers....
I have tried many different browsers (mostly the popular ones) and have tried to access the music on my reverbnation page...unfortunately it will not initialize and wont play, I have no Idea why, ive tried changing the user agent to desktop, ipad..etc etc
I did some research on line and on these and different forums but I can only find very very old bits about it. can anyone tell me if they have an android browser that will play music on an artist page on reverbnation and if not, is it reverbnations fault or something missing from android browsers?
if anyone is willing to help and needs more info, please feel free to ask for whatever details you'd like.
first of all... is your android device has flash player? Since android 4.1 and up don't have flash player supported so maybe that's the reason why you can't play music on you browsers.
Hi and thanx for the response..I'm suing a custom rom and flash was installed on it version 11.1.115.17
What is the android version of your custom rom? What is your android device anyway? I'm using a Lg Optimus Black with a custom rom too and flash doesn't work for me either so i think that custom rom just doesn't support flash. Try searching for keywords like "flash player for CM9 on .....(your device's name)" or "flash player for .......(custom's rom name) on .......(your devide's name)" or something around that on google and maybe you can find the solution.
Sorry i'm not that much help but maybe other members of XDA have solutions for you. Wish you luck...
