Froyo and Flash Running on 101 - instructions included

[Jumpy07]

Archos has stated on their Facebook page, that the only reason Flash is not included in Froyo is due to licensing issues..

someone want to try this one? (created via backup via Astro on my Droid X, similar CPU/GPU, same chip family as the Archos Gen 8's I've been told)

Didn't work on my a101. Couldn't even read the file.

Try it again, I updated the link with an APK file create by Astro instead of a tarball from Titanium backup...

@gregmattersen The plugin you uploaded works much better than the Flash apk that was uploaded previously. I've tested it on youtube and it plays smoothly. The original apk was choppy on youtube. I'll test some other sites.

Hmm... how long does the adobe install take? I'm sitting here with an indeterminate progress bar for over 5 minutes now.. none of the android buttons work.

(tablet isn't hardlock - the progress bar is animating)

edit: f-it... rebooting... hope it comes back up

edit: booted right back up and tried the other version from this thread. installed no problem.

What sort of playback performance are you getting?

[smoger]

gregmatterson's file is the ticket(for now, at least)

just watched a clip from conan on his website and it was silky smooth! thanks!

Thanks. installed easy and replaced the one i was using fine. Runs much smoother now. Could be tweaked a bit, but this will work till archos or someone else releases a more optimized version. Thanks again!

This link is Perfect, runs much faster. Not perfect on everything but close.

although the link earlier was for 10.1.92.8, this one is for 10.1.72.10, but it seems to run much better on this one.

I have tested both versions and even thou the latter displays lower bw flash from youtube ok but with bw intense flash like svtplay (swedish television) the lag is unbearable. my htc desire plays the same flash without any lag whatsoever.

Works for me, pleasantly happy right now
