Itouch with Android ...or flash player

[dooxer]

yes you probably heard of this before, but I cannot find it anywhere. This is my last push until i give up for a couple of days.

I finally found how to downgrade and jailbreak iphone, but kinda disappointed there is no Cydia app that lets me get flash player on my itouch.
I have searched for different OS system installations, and have narrowed it down to either Linux or Android. I read that Linux needs some heavy duty processing which i don't have, so Android is the last option with adobe flash player, i think.

Is there a redirection to a place with Android OS installation for iphones?
Is there some other way to get flash on itouch 2G 8gig? if not, is there for higher-end apple devices?

android has flash???

Nokia N900 has a Flash player. http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/specifications/

There is no Adobe Flash for any of the iPhones, iPod Touches, or even the iPad. Steve Jobs seems to have a grudge against it. He says he's waiting for HTML5 which has a form of Flash-like capability.

HTC Hero (Android) has a flash player but it's supposedly sluggish (maybe Jobs has a point). Droid will have it soon. So, supposedly will the Nexus one.

since there is no flash for idevices I am looking for a OS I can patch on that does. I could hve sworn android had recently done a deal with adobe, but maybe too recently. so, that leaves me with windows mobile, palm mobile OS, android and Nokia. unless I forgot one that might have flash. I really want to try out a game lol.
so does anyone know how o install, say the Nokia OS on itouch?


I'm also suprised it's not a jailbroken app. someone decompiled a 3.1.3 iPhone file and said there was something inside blocking flash, so why not make a jailbroken app that can edit it?

android has flash???

Kind of funny how in all the moaning over the idevices' lack of flash, android support is spotty at best

There no concievable way to install a Nokia OS on an iPod Touch unless you worked for Nokia... and it would take even them a long while I think unless they had help from Apple. About the only OS that you can install on an iPod Touch - beyond Apple's - is an extremely limited form of Linux that lacks virtually all of the device drivers for any of the hardware.

As far as a bit in 3.1.3 blocking Flash, are you sure you don't mean "flash" as in the memory type? I stay relatively in touch with the Touch/iPhone hacking scene and I've never heard of anything about bits that block Adobe Flash. The situation as I understand is that Adobe has a prototype of Flash running on an iPhone but that it has not been released to the public and Apple has publicly stated that they have no plans to support it.

my itouch will never get flash on it's own. I'm trying a few diffirent stuff to get it, and if android has it then I want android. or any other mobile OS with it.

anyone know about palm pre flash capabilities?

edit:
my friend said he installed windows 95 lol I would but prefer looking for a mobile OS. last option os 95.

I admit that it seems bleak to ask since this is actually my last resort.

The xsellize app is an emulator - it won't have access to the device drivers and it will be unusably slow. So you could theoretically run an emulated version of Windows 95, and then theoretically run Flash... but you won't have network access and it will be super super slow.

Flash on mobile phones sucks, my neighbor has a Nokia that has it (dunno model). I've used it and it's slow as shit, but even worse seems to crash a lot. Flash is a resource hog. I'd love to see a phone powerful enough to play a good flash game well. Hell I have a C2D and there a bunch of flash games still run like turds. It's not ready for mobile devices, if you think it is use a Nokia and you'll see just how piss poor it is.

o so its from xsellize? funny thing, i have been trying to install that repo for a day now and not sure if its working. Rock=error in downloading. Icy=nothing given. Cydia=never finishes installing repo itself.
guy said only cydia works, but it just stops at a full completion bar saying 'downloading packages', and a million connection refused errors... i want to at least try emulator.

 

[rudeguy]

so you are trying to get flash on your ipod touch, correct?

What exactly would you like to be able to do?

 

[dooxer]

well either be able to actually see flash pages and movies, and as a super objective games. i doubt the games will happen though, so mostly flash videos & websites.
so the windows 95 emulator is in xsellize? anyone know how to install xsellize?

I believe the upcoming HTC Incredible for Verizon that's coming out sometime in the next few weeks will ship with 'flash lite' support. I'll be new to android (will be picking this phone up on my ne2) so I'm not exactly sure what it's capabilities are. Just throwing that out there as an FYI.

 

[McWatt]

WinMo supports flash through Skyfire, and it works pretty well. It won't play a twitchy flash game so well, but there aren't any good flash games, so you're not missing out.

 

[theeedude]

Big Brother Steve decided No Flash for you.

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

Most people really just want Flash Lite. Sure full blown Flash is cool, but yo ujust need to be able to use websites and watch Youtube, etc. I think Flash Lite does enough.

Why do you want this? Nothing made for flash is optimized for mobile devices. The shit just isn't going to work. And it doesn't. When you do get something loaded on Android it runs at like 10 frames per second.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!!?

exactly, and in a world where all the power FF users run NoScript, and people hate flash websites, why the hell do we really want this?

Depends on device and which Flash app you are running. 10.1 is supposed to be reoptimized for mobile devices and use hardware acceleration features of modern mobile processors. You can always block Flash if you don't want to run it automatically, but there is NOTHING you can do to enable Flash on an Apple mobile device. Not only that, but under the new Apple SDK, there is NOTHING a Flash developer can do to provide that content to you short of complete rewrite.

 

[dooxer]

nothing you can do? aww, there I was preparing to find out what you have to rip out of windows and adobe flash to make an emulator where you plug in a website... its a dream

edit: why? WHY NOT? FOR FREEDOM! basically just to give a finger to whoever personally made it flash-less. I'd say that is 60% of hackers.
