Yep, It shouldn't cause any instability at all. If somthing crashes it's VERY unlikely it would be the result of the script. It's just an Automated Hex-editor as far as changes It changes AND to WIN. It does it on more versions, and with less hassle then any other method I'm aware of though.

What it WONT do is fix your tablet if you already have some stability issues. It also WON'T make an old tablet perform faster or enable it to do stuff it's too slow for. It just enables you to view sites that restrict content to Android Devices that would be available to PC via flash. It also wont enable you to use other Windows Plugins in the browser.

If you have a device that supports Flash 11 and some with Flash 10 it should be powerful enough to watch hulu, BUT some old 550mhz single core may be choppy etc. I can't help you with that.

----------------------------Edit----------------------------
Well after getting my tablet upgraded to 4.0.3 and installing the latest version of Dolphin HD and trying to play video with both STOCK Flash and edited Flash. I have come to the conclusion that Dolphin HD has some serious stability issues at present. It wont even play you tube videos in full screen with STOCK(unedited) flash player. It will play video but freezes up as soon as I select full screen mode. I am able to play you tube vids via chrome without a hitch, but chrome doesnt have the "desktop" option, nor does the stock ICS browser(unlike the HC stock browser). I hope this will be resolved with a patch to Dolphin.

I was able to watch hulu IF I didnt try going full screen. Since I get the same issue with you tube with the unedited libflashplayer.so. Im convinced it has NOTHING to do with the script. I did notice even without going full screen the new Dolphin HD does still have some stability issues. I read allot of reviews in play.google.com that say the latest version Dolphin is unstable. I'm guessing it could have to do with the changes to sonar but I'm not sure. I'll post again when I know more.

After upgrading to the ICS .014 release and FlexReaper 3.1 I can confirm the script still functions and enables viewing hulu.com full screen or in a page. However Dolphin HD will ONLY stay reliable when the video is in default scale/on a page. If you try to full screen it will hang, and you will have to clear cache on Dolphin.

It works fine in Full Screen Mode via the stock browser, BUT you will have to choose to "request desktop site" each time you open the browser before hulu will load videos for ya. After that you can browse find the vid you want, and watch it in default OR full-screen. I had some issues with Chrome Beta. For now I would say the stock browser configured correctly works just fine provided you remember to "request desktop site" each time. Cause the setting doesn't keep after each session.

Good work.

Doesn't work on my Asus Transformer with Revolver 4rc1. Came here from a thread you posted on those forums. I'm using the latest version of flash. It runs, clears busybox and then says "No source files ...". Verified all paths located in the script.

Any ideas? Anyone willing to upload the latest lib file? I can block updating and force a cp script on boot.

The source file gets created so it will always say that the first time it is run. If it didn't say success blah blah at the end, then it didn't find a file in an expected location or has a permission issue. If you can PM me or post the output from the script I should be able to either tell you what to do, or make an update to support your configuration.

I have been wanting to make a new version and use "find" to locate and test all the required files and commands anyway as soon as I get the time.

I wont have any/much time to trouble shoot anything till wed may 2st. I just wanted to provide a quick update about your post at least though.

I appreciate the reply. The output is this (from SManager)

Code:
exec sh '/mnt/sdcard/Flashex2/flashex.sh'
/ # exec sh '/mnt/sdcard/Flashex2/flashex.sh'
================================================
Found busybox, grep and sed in /system/xbin
Confirmed execute permission for /system/xbin/busybox
Busybox v1.19.0

Source Files Doesn't Exist
.. and it sits. I usually end up killing it after about 5 minutes.

Hey, still no time to check it out. BUT I do notice you are running an Un-Stable version of Busybox(1.19.0) You should update busybox for sure. The current(stable) version is 1.19.4.(latest is 1.20.0) You can check out http://www.busybox.net/ for more info.

If you would like you could add "-x" to tell more of what is going on. like this

sh -x flashex204.sh

via terminal instead of Script Manager. It enables a type of debug mode that gives allot more information about how the shell is handling the code. Sorry I will have more time in a few days. If you do try the debug mode feel free to post the result and I will take a look at it.

If I had to guess I would say the issue lies with permissions or similar to do with /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so, because the script currently only checks for it's existance in the next line of the script, but I don't have enough info to say yet for sure. then it runs strings which could in fact cause a loop(hang) if it couldnt read the libflashplayer.so. Easy enough for me to add another check to stop that as soon as I have time(tomorrow evening)

Here is what the output would normally look like when you don't yet have the hex edited soure file made;

exec sh '/mnt/sdcard/Flashex2/flashex204.sh'
root@android:/ # exec sh '/mnt/sdcard/Flashex2/flashex204.sh'

I pushed out an update to address this. I wont know what else might have to be done to support the ROM you are using until I get some feedback or debug output though.

Well after not hearing back from this guy and getting positive feedback from others that also updated to a new ROM and found 2.05 resolved the issue. I will assume this is fixed. Until/unless I hear otherwise. I'm guessing it was busybox.

Well Adobe Flash got another update lastnight for ICS. It's up to 11.1.115.8 now, and again Flashex automaticly detected my update and edited a new copy.

I can also verify that hulu.com still works via browser after the update/edit.

The Flashex script worked great with stock based Gingerbread ROMs on my Samsung Galaxy S 4G phone. But after I moved to a MIUI based ROM, it stopped working. I thought it was an outdated script version issue, but apparently it was not. Recently Flash Player got updated, and the latest version of Flashex was still throwing this error message:
Code:
unknown operand
ERROR02: Unable to get the expected results from the strings grep sed lines(s)
But I found a workaround. I deleted all files in the Flashex's folder, and the /cache folder too. Basically, I deleted everything that was created by the script on its previous run, leaving only the script itself. I ran Flashex then, and that time it worked flawlessly.
