Okay, I gotta ask...

I'm currently running Eyeballer's build without opengl from 4/20 no other patches besides the softkey mod by leapinlar. My understanding is that flash doesn't work on the non-opengl versions of Cm9, correct? But I went ahead and installed it anyway from the market and hit up newgrounds.com, expecting a crash or something, but everything worked just fine! I'm using Opera if that matters?

I have a nandroid and am upgrading to the latest for the ability to have usb mass storage, but am hoping not to lose this unexpected ability to run flash on CM9.... I'll probably restore the current install if that happens.

I have to say that I am beyond amazed at how much better this is than the opengl builds.

Thanks!

I am running eyeballers 4/22 non-opengl and that site comes up but plays no videos (using Dolphin). It plays fine on CM7 and my Galaxy Tab with flash.

BTW, if you want the UMS to work on 4/22 and my softkey patch, you need to use my latest patch with it to get UMS.

Edit: I installed Opera Mini and tried and it still did not work. I then installed Opera Mobile and it played the videos. I think you have stumbled onto something great. I have a flash settings link from adobe that I tried and it worked also. Try this link:

http://settings.adobe.com/flashplayer/mobile

It opens and runs in Opera Mobile.

Opera has the capability of playing some flash content. It is the only browser I have found running non-opengl that plays some video. It is working on the 4/22 build for me as well.

Could I get a link to the patch? I am on the latest (AFAIK, will check if updated since last night) and the option is still greyed out for me. Or did you mean your phone GUI soft keys patch, because I'm already running that. Not sure if maybe I missed a post somewhere....

Thanks again.

Yes I meant my 4/22 softkey patch.

Thanks for the info about Opera Mobile running flash while still running non-opengl. Now the only thing I miss is Netflix with CM9. And that will come someday, I'm sure.

I like having the option of UMS on CM9 now. The only thing I did not like about MTP was certain files were hidden from you. It was like the newer Windows operating systems (XP and above) denying access to certain files and folders. Like we have to be protected from our own stupidity. I hate that! Not that we all can't do something stupid once in a while, I just don't like being dictated to and restricted like that. That's what the original root restrictions on android were for too.

Huh. I ran the earlier version of the patch without noticing any issues. I guess I got lucky?

Glad the info about Opera Mobile was useful to you, sorry for not specifying the fact it was the mobile version I was talking about.

Haven't tested it out yet, but I'm happy to have UMS back again as well, seeing as how I mostly run Linux these days. I really don't understand why Google wants to throw away one of the better features of Android just to make it more difficult to use...

Opera is a proxying browser; all of your pages are massaged by their servers on their way to your NC, so they can (and do, I expect) recode at least some video on the way by.

Oh, the earlier softkey patch still worked OK without crashing, it's just that the new UMS feature would not work without the latest patch.

Glad I updated then. I have some questions about the patch, but I'll ask them over in your thread so as to not pollute this one with off topic chatter.

USB Mass Storage doesn't appear to work with my Mac. It's not a big deal since MTP works quite well with the Android File Transfer app for OS X.

There is a form of this in the tablet gui by default too. Tap on the clock then again on the clock popup and you get a scrollable list of settings toggles.

Not the same thing. I mostly miss the media buttons. I keep having to go to the home screen (media buttons widgets) and often lose context, depending on the app.

    As of 9/4 opengl is enabled on all builds (so no more double builds each night) and hardware UI acceleration is working. Thanks krylon360 for the work :)


    In the same spirit as Samiam303 I've been building and hosting nightly builds of CM9 for the community to use. In particular I'm now building nightlies with OpenGL rendering turned on in addition to non-openGL builds (same as Samiam303). These builds are all straight sync with CM source with no additional mods. Builds are sync'd at 3am EST for non-openGL and 4am EST for openGL - they will be available to download approx 15 mins after their sync times.

    So what does OpenGL rendering mean? It means we have some form of hardware acceleration for the UI and apps. It is not full hw accel and it is not hw video decoding. The couple of things you'll notice work is wallpaper scrolling in the launcher and chrome beta will mostly work to render webpages but will fc if you go into settings. Flash also somewhat works - I've found you definitely need to OC to get some flash videos to work, most still are not smooth.

    The downside to it seems to vary user to user, some people report sluggish responses and some get lock ups, a few have no problems at all..

    Either way, give them a try and report back. Please try to keep the thread on topic of these builds only, other mods can be flashed over, but that discussion should be in the respective thread. I'd also like to revisit keyodi's suggestion here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22277804#post22277804) - a few people reported good results with that change. Any more feedback?

    Downloads

    There's a few ways to get the builds:
    1) Browse the hosted folder here: http://techerrata.com/browse/nightly_kangs/encore
    2) Follow @CM_Encore on twitter for announcements of the builds as they hit the host (PLEASE NOTE: @CM_Encore IS A TWITTER BOT - don't bother tweeting at it)
    3) *NEW* Use the Goo Manager app to receive notifications of new builds and download them directly on your nook. With Goo Manager you can also get incremental updates, see my post here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25441065#post25441065

    Latest ICS gapps can be found here http://goo-inside.me/gapps or mirrored here http://techerrata.com/browse/gapps

    Updates

    For the latest updates/announcements follow me on twitter, or check back here.

    5/9/12: Goo Manager now comes pre-installed to make updating as easy as possible :)
    4/28/12: Incremental updates are available for the flash-a-holics: See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25441065#post25441065
    3/10/12: Due to some merges yesterday you may need to reflash gapps when going from a nightly prior to 3/9 to later than 3/9

    Credit and Thanks
    Thanks to fattire, dalingrin and the rest of the CM encore theme for making this possible. Thanks to fellow TeamWin members Kevank for providing the hosting and to s0up for the Goo app.

    The 9/4 nightly includes all of krylon's changes, and opengl is now enabled by default so there will only be 1 build each night from now on (unless something changes again). In testing we haven't experienced any freezes or random reboots with the new code and opengl enabled, of course with wider testing we may discover something.

    I've decided to pause the nightlies at this point. If most people are on 9/4 we can start to see if there's any specific issues affecting all users that might be able to be resolved with the goal being as stable a cm9 release as possible. There isn't much being merged into the cm9 tree upstream so we're not losing anything by building less frequency.

    So go ahead and install 9/4, if I see something of significance merged upstream I'll kick off a new public build.

    Nightlies will now feature HWA and full Hardware Decoding, as well as working Flash.

    Known issues.
    Netflix - Stupid Stupid App. :p - Giving the same error as we are getting in JB, so when we fix one, we will fix the other.

    Fruit Ninja - Hangs at the loading screen. - Known issue across several devices.

    thanks eye.
    This gives me a chance to hack in the PBHACK which will bring down the memory usage of SystemUI like I did in JB.
    Gonna take some work since it didnt like some of the syntax usage when I attempted the 1st time.
    Will try to get to this sometime this week. Have my Grandma coming to town on Sunday, so will be unavail this weekend/next week.
