[Q] Flash Player on the Viewpad 7

---

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/show....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.
