I just tried and found that it works and is very simple to do.

Firefox mobile lists /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so as the location of its flash player, but also has a copy located in /home/user/.mozilla/plugins. The current build of firefox mobile(4.0b1) has plugins disabled so I cannot test these changes.

Simple Install Guide:
1. Obtain file from TI
2. On a linux pc run the file(you will need to enable exec rights on the file)
3. Follow the installer and then go to the path specified in the installer and grab the libflashplayer.so
4. Copy libflashplayer.so to somewhere on your n900(via ssh or via mass storage mode)
5. sudo gainroot
mv /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so.bak
if copied to mass storage: cd /home/user/MyDocs/
cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
6. start the browser and it should all work

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

Yeah, the hardest part would be to actually 'obtain file from TI'.....it sounds so easy.....oh well, no flash 10.1 for the N900 but I don`t care....

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

suppose if we get flash 10. will youtube's video run at high quality then? it has very low quality now. :(

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

its on the previous page

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

Wow ... It works ... atleat I am able to watch facebook videos directly on the webpage itself on my N900.....

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

Nope. The only benefit of having Flash 10 (via that TI plugin right now) is to use Flash 10 specific features. There is no other optimization provided.

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

Actually it seems to have worse performance then the original, and some weird red box on the top left on youtube.

Can anyone confirm this?

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

Sorry boys do not understand what is TI .
wher I can download libflashplayer.so
sorry for my english but i dont speak very well .

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

yep ive got the weird red box and cant get anything to work with it
all i really want is vimeo.com to work

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

we can already do that with the app 'tweak flash plugin':rolleyes:

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

TI is Texas Instruments. They are well known for their graphing calculators, but more importantly they also provide the hardware for some mobile devices out there. The flash plugin 10 is for people working with the hardware (but you can request it from their website and try to get it) and they may send you a copy after agreeing not to re-distribute it.

Flash 10 won't be distributed on this website (legally at least).

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

No need to backup the original... ;)

If You need to reinstall run this:

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

iPlayer works for me, I'm watching Never Mind The Buzzcocks right now, if you click the icon to play in a pop out window it plays quite smoothly. And get_iplayer still works for downloading videos if you don't want to use flash, but you'll need to tell it to download in "flashlow" mode if you want to video to play smoothly without overclocking.

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

Yep i can confirm it, i got red line above the screen on youtube.

Edit : wix.com works, but it takes abit long to load completely,
anyone knows facebook games or other flash games that flash 10 only?

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

i didn't get any response from TI. secondly if i get it, i don't hav linux OS installed in my pc. getting flash plugin is like cracking hard nuts :)

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

yes i have flash 10.1 libflashplayer.so very thanks but

i got red line above the screen on youtube.

nokia n900 any times reboot and youtube video reeboting all time.

and you can not upload 240p to other size screen. 480p for example

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

Sorrry!! can you send my your flashplayer.so the my don't work .
I have download by adobe website but dont good.
Tanks.

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

are you a newby? i can see it , not install flash 10,1 , it dont run , only for developers

flash 9 with tweak flash 0.4 it is your option ,

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

red line above facebook games. like some kind of weird dev watermark i'm guessing? anyway games like cityville froze at 50% before. now with 10.1 they'll load to completion. however any click on it will refresh and start it loading over. shame. :(

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

if the TI plugin has problems then i dont see any other solution to the problem.....wait for meego sometime next year or upgrade to an android phone....i will still wait for the dual core phones to come out and go from there

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

Hi

I recently received the file from TI, however i dont know if im what im doing is correct, I followed this Simple Install Guide:
1. Obtain file from TI
2. On a linux pc run the file(you will need to enable exec rights on the file)
3. Follow the installer and then go to the path specified in the installer and grab the libflashplayer.so
4. Copy libflashplayer.so to somewhere on your n900(via ssh or via mass storage mode)
5. sudo gainroot
mv /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so.bak
if copied to mass storage: cd /home/user/MyDocs/
cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
6. start the browser and it should all work

the only step i didnt do is step 2.

however before i was able to watch iplayer for example but now its slow.

regards

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

Apparently performance is less than stellar. As noted before, the version 10.1 implies nothing of what actual acceleration is (not) used, i.e. 10.1 *can* be faster in *certain* use-cases on *some* implementations but does not *guarantee* better performance in general.

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

bro, can you try to access www.wix.com.
however first of all do verify the flash version that you are running by access to this URL http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

Sorry for the delayed response, I'm subscribed to this thread on a weekly basis.
I don't suppose you could elaborate upon what exactly eventuated?

As-I-recall it was one of the community managers (u/n escapes me), he was going to get back to us about it.
Haven't heard anything from him on this thread since, unless I missed it.

Thank-you.

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

so no flash player 10.

shame.

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

Guys the flash 10 from TI is leaked now. You can find it just search at google using key "download maemo libflashplayer.so from ti" it should be available on second page search.

Anyway based on my testing, the flash 10 only can be utilized via microB not from Mozilla Firefox. Not sure why firefox not managed to detect the plugin.

From microB, all the flash content will have red line on the top. Plus for those website that running fully flash 10, it will keep reloading the page once we touch to any link or tab in flash, same goes to www.flashearth.com.


The best right is using the tweak flash, the flash plugin from TI, its TOTALY not ready to be utilized even though its NOT Hardware accelerated by right it shouldn't have the bug on reloading or looping once you click on any tab or link.

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

Can a browser tweak be added to Opera for N900 to report flash 10? i much prefer the Opera browser but would like a flashtweak for it.

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

That's been answered in the past... and unfortunately the answer is no.

Opera doesn't support plugins outside of their javascript engine.

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

For Firefox, need to enable manual in order to enable the flash.
Under URL key in about:config, search plugin.make sure the below 2 option is set to FALSE.

i) plugin.default_plugin_disabled
ii) plugin.disable

Using flash 10 from TI with Firefox cause the browse to be automatically closed once you click to any tab or link in web that running flash 10 such www.wix.com and same scenario goes to www.flashearth.com.

The best is using Firefox with the tweakflash.

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

Seriously... STOP WHINING! :)

Flash 10 from TI isn't a step up compared to using a tweaked Flash 9.4.

99% of people here just need "Flash 10 functionality" to see YouTube links on FaceBook anyway, and that works fine with the tweaked Flash 9.4...

End of Story... ;)

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

dude that didn't work with me using the ff 4 b3, how can i enable flash on ff 4 b3 ?

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

Why do you come to this thread, knowing that's pretty much what you'll see? I laugh EVERY time I see one of these 'stop whining' comments on a thread that clearly will contain such demands for updates, upgrades and software that isn't available. :) I am, by no means, telling you to stop saying it--I get great entertainment from the back-and-forthing but it still boggles me. :)

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

I'm glad You feel entertained... ;)

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

If it weren't for calling out for others to take action in ways fantastically unlikely ever to occur, these forums would be a ghost town.

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

BRO,

Sorry Forgot to add. Before you proceed with the below step. under Firefox add ons, you need to DISABLE THE "YOUTUBE ENABLER".

For Firefox, need to enable manual in order to enable the flash.
Under URL key in about:config, search plugin.make sure the below 2 option is set to FALSE.

i) plugin.default_plugin_disabled
ii) plugin.disable

*** BOTH plugin.disable and plugin.default_plugin_disabled will become BOLD ONCE ITS BEEN SET TO FALSE.

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

And who do you blame for that? Curious.

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

it is incredible.

flash 9 pr 1.3 you can see youtube videos into youtube page only 240p but in other web pages youtube-links-videos 360p you can see it. why happen it??

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?
 

Hey, you can actually get YouTube videos in higher resolutions (Even 720p, albeit very slow and glitchy) all you need to do is use the "Tweak Flash Plugin" and set it to "Flash 10.1 Linux Desktop" and then use "Hide User Agent" and set it to "Mozilla Firefox" then reboot phone and go to www.youtube.com (not m.youtube.com) and you can choose any resolution! :D (I was very much enjoying high resolution YouTube until I smashed my screen yesterday :( )
