Yeah, wrong section. This would be a Q&A thread. Anyways, the best way to fix it is to do a factory reset. There are some problems reported after running the update without wiping, so definitely wipe to make sure everything is working.

remove adobe flash and reinstall it. works perfect afterwards

I was also have the browser issue, and I did that, and now it doesn't crash, but it does say Adobe Flash player version 9 or high is required when I try to play a video... and if I try uninstalling flash player, it says cannot be uninstalled...
Anyone have the exact name .apk of the flash player so I can delete it via root explorer?
Fix
EDIT: Mkay if your getting problems with Flash player, set your cache on your browser to the second highest under 8MB, then install the flash.apk from here, and boom! Working flash

Better yet, just try this:
Code:
$adb shell rm -R /data/data/com.htc.flashliteplugin /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer

Flash player?

Market says our phone doesn't support flash player :'(

That's true, our phone has ARMv6 cpu and flash player requires an ARMv7 cpu. But the phone has a flash lite player installed.

Damn it. That suck so we ain't getting the full flash?

Go download an apk of the full flash, runs perfect. Got it on my phone and its great.

Wow, please share

Guys, I think I'm going crazy. I've tried all flash variants available on Internet, the one for X10 mini, for 2.1, for ARM v6 devices, nothing works on my Wildfire S. Tried Opera mobile, Opera mini, Dolphin HD, Dolphin Mini, Maxthon, Stock browser. Opera mobile is the only one that gave me a 'Play' button but after I click that button it freezes. Please, someone that has flash working on their Wildfire S, try this link http://creativemonkeyz.com/roboti/robotzi-s01-ep24-berila/ , it's a video on that page and I can't run it on my Wildfire S. Tried on my iPhone, works perfectly, tried on Nokia C7, works perfectly and it also works on Galaxy S but on my Wildfire S it won't run at all.
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance.

I don't think Vimeo uses Flash for their videos. Tried on mine and don't work but any other flash site does.

so imlgl, can u post your apk file please_? there are a lot of different non-worked versions.
thanks

can you watch flash video inside browser page? (yahoo movies or youtube in desktop mode otherwise - in mobile view- it will use youtube player). If yes, maybe is because you have rooted your phone. otherwise I can not see why on same hardware flash player works random depending on luck. ARMv6 internet specs has support only for flash lite.

Was using flash inside my browser before I was rooted. Btw flash doesn't work within opera mini. I use the standard browser.

I know about opera mini, I use only built-in android browser and I can see flash animations on different websites but impossible to watch embedded flash video.

imlgl,
thanks for posting the link, but I'm not sure what to do with it now.
I unzipped it expecting to find an APK, but I didn't.
Are there any install instructions or does anyone else have a working apk?
Thanks in advance

You don't unzip it because that is the .apk you downloaded. Just put it on sd card and use es file explorer to find it and install it.

Right. Thanks for all your help so far.
Have working video on daily motion & you tube, but bbc videos still say i have the wrong version of flash player - any thoughts

Update:
Have uninstalled flash now, and I'm still able to access daily motion & youtube on Dolphin HD & opera Mobile.
I guess these use flash lite.

1.1 Firmware mirror for NST

So I just picked up a nook simple touch and am eager to root it, I've done plenty with Android on phones, never an ebook though. I've been reading the material here and had a couple questions.
1.) It looks like 1.1 firmware is needed for most of the roots here, however B&N only lists 1.2 currently. Does anyone have a mirror to 1.1 or tell me how to get that, currently I'm on 1.0.1
2.) If I can't get 1.1 are there any roots that will work for 1.2? I've been following the thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346748 and it looks like it only works from 1.1 by the sound of it.
3.) Is everyone or anyone using the NoRefreshToggle? If so what do you think? Is it worth trying it out? Dangers of using it? When you toggle it off do you get greyscale back? From the sounds of the post, it's pure black and white with it on which is fine if when I disable it, it goes back to normal greyscale images.
4.) Did anyone find out how to turn off page animations in the kindle app? not a big deal, just wondering.
Thanks a lot, look forward to trying this out.

Here's a copy of nook_1_1_update.zip I pulled down from B&N a few weeks ago: http://www.mediafire.com/?h5kn1214gfjhkcg In the end I didn't need it, so I can't confirm how the upgrade works (the instructions said just put the file within the zip on an SD card and reboot)

Thanks for the link

Thanks for the 1.1 post link, however I updated to 1.1.2 and followed the instructions and everything seems to be ok, I can get email, install from the market place, only thing I can't do is search the market. A search just lists a blank page and doesn't find any apps, any ideas.
As for the Kindle question, after installing kindle app and seeing the performance, this isn't a big deal at all.
Still curious on the refresh toggle however, any ideas on that, have you guys tried it out? I may post there if I don't hear back.
Thanks

I have checked and as you said market search functionality is absent, it seems to be broken since the Googleplay thing.
As a way to regain it, in the mean time we get an updated market working, install Searchmarket.
The NorefreshToggle is still in early stages, but works quite well for webpages, etc.
Try it, there are no risks on it, on any program when you enable the app it will work, and when you go into a menu it will return to normal grayscale.

How do I install Searchmarket if I can't search the market for it lol ... Do I have to install it on my phone first, then transfer the apk over to the NST, then file browse and install it from /system/app ?
I tried NoRefreshToggle, it's interesting, like you said a work in progress ... Tried it with GReader unfortunatly it shuts off between Feed view and Article view which is a pain, but I think that's probably to avoid ghosting.
As for web page viewing, Opera Mini FCs on me everytime I open it, as does the stock browser, so I haven't been able to try browsing as of yet Still looking for a solution to that one.
Thanks for all the info, really enjoying the NST if NoRefreshToggle keeps getting better this could really be a killer device

I just use the Google Play website to initiate installs to the nook (it appears in my device list as "phone")
The included Opera Mini installation never worked for me (no FC nothing). In the end I fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling.

Didn't even know you could send apps like that to your devices, never had a need to try it before. Worked like a charm ... Opera is working now as well, thanks for the tips Really enjoying Android on the NST

So are you saying you are on 1.1.2 rooted and enjoying it?
Should I downgrade to 1.1.1 and root or just go ahead with 1.1.2?
I can't wait to try this out.

I can't speak to the upgrade patch from 1.1.1, I bought my NST yesterday, it had 1.0.1 on it, I upgraded to 1.1.2 then followed the rooting instructions for 1.1.0 or was it 1.1.1 can't remember, in any case, after rooting everything seems to be working just fine

It was 1.1.0, there was no 1.1.1

Is there any risk upgrading to 1.1.2 from 1.1.0? Would I have to reinstall google apps &c? Did anything change in between 1.1.0 and 1.1.2? (I have heard that they may have fixed the WiFi issues that were plaguing me a few months ago.)

Flash player on our Note 2 in under 3 minutes. No root needed.

Excuse me if this has been posted already I searched and couldn't find anything. I was able to find a link showing how to get flash player up and running on the Galaxy Note 2. I don't take credit for any of this I just came across the link, and tried it on my phone as well as my girlfriend and it works flawlessly. The only problem is it does not work with Google Chrome, it only works with the stock internet browser. Click this link

Make sure you go to page one, the first post.
And then download the APK, install and you're good to go. Remember it only works with Internet Explorer not Chrome, and again I apologize if this has been posted. My girlfriend and I are not rooted so we're on stock roms and it works flawlessly. Good luck and have fun

Thank you for sharing!

Not sure what you mean it only works on Internet Explorer since there's no IE on android. I've done this before, it's it's pointless since I use chrome as my main default browser all the time.

He means the stock browser, but yes, it only works on that. Chrome does not support flash at all.

I meant the stock internet browser. And I use Chrome all the time too, but if I need flash I just use the stock browser now. This post is for people who want flash and don't know how to get it. Not everybody uses chrome (and this is not pointless to those who need flash like myself. My business website has flash on it so I times I need flash on my phone) many people still use the stock browser, and I'm sure people who do you Crome all the time like myself, if they need flash they will go back to the stock browser now that they know how to get flash when flash is needed.

[Q] Need APKfile for Galaxy SII .......Gallery App.

My Samung SII Galaxy Epic 4G uses Gallery version 1.0.19 for photo viewing but seems to have been partially corrupted and will not show Albums. If I try to use any functions from the Gallery main screen, it goes to a black screen and locks up the phone. However, holding the power button does bring up the power options and I can restart. All other phone functions and apps work fine.
I think if an APK file is available, and I reinstall the app, it should overwrite or reinstall the corrupted file/s.
I did search the net and find an APK on Aptoide but am not sure how safe it is to use that open source OR LEGAL?
Any help on this?

check your PM

Ok, so to answer some things for you from the PM. You should be able to just install the apk and go about your business. You should not have any problems unless the orignal apk is corrupted. The 2 files you downloaded from @erikalin should be sufficent enough to get your gallery back. Keep her files handy as they are every file that comes with the phone. Another option is to install Google+. It will install a photo app for you, then you don't need to be rooted. My suggestion is to root. So many things you can do, even on TW which is what your on. Custom ROM's are the best thing to happen since sliced bread. @qbking77 has a website with everything also. You don't have to do anything except what the video tells you to do and you will be rooted with no loss of files from the internal storage. @rwilco12 has a website with stock stuff as well as the same files to completely root your phone on any modem for Sprint/Versizon/AT&T. I hope this help you and anyone else who is in need of stock apks.
