Diamond and Flashlite 3

[darthbane2k]

okay, so flashlite 3 has been leaked, great! but why no instructions or reports in how to get it to work with htc diamond? all u hear reports from are kaiser usersl

I have the latest UK stock ROM and all i want to know is whether I can get flash working with the existing pre installed browser. I do not want an unclean installation method, nor do I wish to 'upgrade' my opera to some other build that is not customised for the diamond and that would lose key features such as the scroll wheel.
would appreciate your advice and experiences.

Thats the thing. I dont want to use a cooked ROM. I want to keep my stock ROM, furthermore I dont want to force any version of Opera that isnt officially customised for Diamond. eg, I dont want to lose the likes of scroll wheel support etc

not one person on that thread has appeared to have tested this with the HTC Diamond.

This is the problem.

It won't run on stock. It needs the newest OS core an Opera 1938

so basicly anyone who sticks to the stock HTC Diamond ROM has no way of using flash lite 3 with Opera?

Perfect.

Two steps forward, one step back.

Okay, considering it is the current leading WIndows Mobile device - can we please have some CLEAR CUT instructions as to how we can get Flash Lite 3 working on the HTC Touch Diamond? And by working I mean working on an OFFICIAL HTC stock ROM or network carrier ROM, I do not consider flashing to a cooked ROM and invalidating my warrenty a solution.

If Opera needs to be uprgraded, then please tell me how and what (diamond specific) features we lose.

Thanks.

I'm running Opera 1938 and I can still scroll with my finger to zoom, etc... Just try it, what have you got to lose? :)

As you probably or rather hopefully know, there is no official non beta Flash Lite 3.x (http://www.adobe.com/products/flashlite/version/) for Windows Mobile x.x and Opera Mobile x.x. Yet. Let alone one customised for the Diamond. At least, AFAIK. So, as you clearly are a consumer, nothing wrong with that, and taking your past and present Diamond related threads (http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=16011523) and posts into consideration, my sincere advice is you ignore all versions floating around and keep on enjoying or loathing your device as it is ;)

Why don't you wait until HTC or your network carrier publish one suited for your stock ROM, again nothing wrong with that, including step by step written and video instructions on how to install? Then wait some more for the first user reviews to roll in, before deciding to jump in head first ;)

Or, you can put some effort in, search for how to upgrade Opera (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401643) and scrolling (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424343&highlight=opera+1938+scroll), experiment with what is available and help others out by sharing another kind of experience, like a lot of XDA members do.

Come to think of it.. No, please don't! I don't think you've got what it takes, still nothing wrong with that. You would probably only end up whining some more about how the Diamond sucks donkey balls, how HTC has done you wrong by tricking you into buying this incomplete, non functional device, and about the demise of Windows Mobile in general. Now, that boring routine could bug me a little ;)

Seriously, no hard feelings, I really hope you enjoy your Diamond with all it's pros and cons and take care!

darthbane2k if you have old flashlite or maybe flash installed it wont probably work even when you install new opera :) i had to hard reset it because i was unable to remove all parts left of flashlite 2.1 and flash 7 :)

It worked reasonably in my Diamond :), Youtube and other player based on
Flash, other swf, only render static.

Sorry for the English.


Rom version: 1.93.831.1.WWE - DiamondtProject Team
Radio version: 1.00.25.07

Just Flashed My MDA Compact IV to Dutty V1.9.
It has Opera 9.5 1938 built in.
Then i installed the Flash Lite 3.1 cab.
Rebooted.
And lo and behold, i could view Youtube from within Opera!

Flash lite 3.1 working fine for me
opera 9.5 build 1938, install both opera and flash lite to device memory
using TLR3 ROM

Instructions for upgrading opera can be found in the development and hacking section in the opera 9.5 thread.

Instructions for installing flash lite 3.1 can be found in the development and hacking section, flash lite 3.1 thread

Instructions for flashing your ROM can be found in the sticky in the diamond ROM section.

If you dont want to flash your rom and upgrade opera then there is little chance of you using flash lite 3 until adobe release an official version. But if you dont want to flash your rom and upgrade spftware then these forums may be the wrong place for your questions.

maybe here will be a better place for you to find support for official adobe lite development

It's work for me too.
youtube work almost very well, but dailymotion (specially for french) don't work. Maybe in another version of flash lite, the 3.5 are in development.

Thanks a lot for the developper :)

How to test if flash is working? I went to youtube and it always gives me m.youtube.com (for mobile) and when I clicked on the video, the streaming thing (windows media?) pops up and the video never shows up from within opera...

I went to adobe test page and the flash test video is blank... does it mean that it doesn't work? Any other site that I can test if flash is working?

FYI, I have the latest Opera build installed on SwiftBl cooked ROM. And I have modified the Opera.ini file so that I can use gmail on opera.

Edit: Got it to work now. I can see youtube from within Opera. It's the opera.ini file that I have modified that made youtube not load the videos from within the opera (but pop up windows media instead). I have fixed it now.
