I have CM7 installed on my mytouch 4g and when I try to view online flash videos the video is blank but I can hear the sound. I reinstalled flash many time and I used many different browers but I cannot seem to get the thing working. Can anyone help me please?

It only shows below a certain resolution. I think it's 240p but don't quote me on that.

I don't think its cm7, it has something to do with flash 10.3

You have to go back to flash 10.1. Just search for the apk online.

I have a similar - but worse - problem. I cannot watch online videos (e.g. from YouTube), but I can also not watch videos that I have stored locally on the SD card. I both cases I can hear the sound but no video is shown.
Installing Flash 10.1 did neither solve the online video nor the local video problem :-(

not sure if that was directed at me or someone else; in any case, I tried it and it did not help (neither for online nor for local videos).

Google the 10.1 apk. That one should work for online video. Make sure to reboot tue device after installing the apk. Sd card playback is a different issue.

Nope, that doesn't work. Neither does version 10.2.156.12 as was suggested before. Since I have these problems with both online and local videos, I think that it's something more "substantial" than the flash player ...

Today I was able to fix my problem, which was apparently triggered by the kernel I use - DemonSpeed v9. After getting rid of it and going back to the kernel that comes with CM7, why videos all work now (so does my camera, which also no longer work, recently).

Yea, I believe demonsoeed is for sense only. Try an asop kernel, like one of faux asop kernels.

There is indeed a demonspeed kernel for Sense based ROMs; but there is also one for CM7 based ROMs and that's the one I used. SO it does not seem to be a general incompatibility between my kernel and ROM.

Right now, I'll stick with "stock" CM7.1 for a few days and then maybe try the faux kernel ...
