TVCatchup.com - Flash Lite - Desire General

Hey,
Was just wondering if anyone would be kind enough to test the tvcatchup.com on a 2.1 Desire and see if it works?
I'm pretty sure it would work in Flash Lite although I can't test this (I'm using CyanogenMod and don't want to go off it).
Make sure you load the full website and not the mobile version (m.tvcatchup.com) you may need to change your User Agent.
Thanks All.

hi,
Have check and comes up as requiring flash - assume the lite does not run.
It states that it can run on a PC and Iphone only.

I think it would run but probably slowly. Why not just run it in full flash on Froyo? There are a loaf of custom ROMs available if you don't want to run the stock OTA update.

I have Froyo. Basically... long story short, I wrote an Android Guide for their forum but then learnt that apparently Flash Lite didnt work =/. I didn't see why this would be the case so thought I would get someone with a Desire to test (I didn't want to get rid of CM6 to flash a 2.1 based rom just to check).
Thanks Damo

Ah, fair enough. I struggled to get most flash video to work on 2.1 to be honest so I can see that it wouldn't work.

It used to work on 2.1 and doesn't on Froyo.

It worked great for me on Froyo using the low quality streams.

I could only get the medium quality streams to work with Froyo!
Low and High played the advert but then seemed to buffer 'for ever'.

m.tvcatchup.com worked for me on both 2.1 and now on froyo? What's the problem? 3g and wifi.

Interesting. Refuses to ever connect for me since Froyo.

Flash 10.1 apk

I was reading the news last night and it would seem some clever bloke has managed to get Flash 10.1 on the Evo 4G with Eclair. Well I took the plunge last night and it works on the Desire too. The playback for me wasn't brilliant on video, but games and websites that didn't work previously now do.
you guys might want a look while we wait for Froyo.

It's been posted in ROM Dev but people are saying it's not working...
thats odd it's working here... hmm.
I tried youporn and even that worked, but due to the framerate, I now understand the real meaning of jerking off lol.
Tried it and but didn't work on bbc

Are you sure you're not just getting fed the MP4 video files like most video sites offer? How do you know it's Flash?
I just checked and youporn works for me without installing anything.

If miniclip works then you know flash 10.1 is working.
As that is flash based games which wont work on lite player.
Video sites like youporn have worked on my desire and I haven't had chance to flash it yet.
Just thought 10.1 would mean better framerates.

oh my bad lol
anything that dont work with flash lite? just test that ha ha
I got a site that dont work with flash lite but I doubt many people on ere would wanna see that. lol
try Kontraband.com
this site doesn't work on the desire without 10.1. I never got it to work before i installed the apk. youporn was a bit of a joke, but kontraband, adobe tv also works.
try Kontraband.com

Kontraband.com games are also working
Apart from touchscreen not working on them so it being useless. The games themselves are loading up and running fine here (this is where I dearly wish I could take screenshots).
Some vids which are using Flash embedded within sites also work fine with the stock Flash lite, but others don't. For instance, this viddler embed works fine for me from the stock Desire browser:
http://m.lifehacker.com/5303091/springpad-takes-your-life-data-mobile
But any site with YouTube embeds doesn't. I'm not yet sure why one works and the other doesn't.

Just wanted to let you guys know that the site is already working. Enjoy it.
Thx, I will try it now.

Only has options for Desire Z and Desire HD... not Standard Desire
they said that first supported devices would be those, we will have to wait
Well but since i have a desire hd rom in my desire i already tried it. Kinda cool ringing the phone and knowing where it is thru the site... also i can see missed calls and incoming messeges. Htc scores again
"Desire" is what started it all, they should have enabled it for the standard desire first
Needs Sense 2.0 to work, the HD and Z have HTC Hub apps in them which connect to HTCSense.com
Fingers crossed for the next OTA for original Desire to have Email fix for Hotmail EAS and Sense 2.0 then...
has it been said us Desires users will get it?
I've read at several sites that HTC have confirmed that the original Desire will get Sense 2.0 in a OTA update soon... I really hope it's true... But I won't cry if we don't get it because I think Sense already rocks the way it is! and if I ever get sick of it there are always alternatives like launcher pro and etc...

I don't know where you get this from, but in fact some people are already running the desire hd with sense 2.2 on their original desires. Can't see why an official update for the Desire "won't fit"

Probably because they
1. are using the sd card to install the ROM
2. have removed a bunch of useful/needed stuff (like 4 from 5 sense themes) to make it fit in the device itself.
I hope we can get a custom rom that will integrate Sense 2. I don't need the official OTA. Community ROM's are far better. Would like to see a new LeeDroid with Sense 2.
Of course they could get sense 2 to fit on, this is HTC, the company that can pull rabbits from out of their arses. It doesn't have to be the same version as the HD, but supporting htcsense.com would be magic!
i've sense hd......contact,messages and foot print work.....positioning ring and block doesn't work......someone ave this working??

HTC Desire Gingerbread UPDATE THIS WEEK

Please note that we are working now to release the 2.3 for HTC Desire.
Unfortunately we don’t have the name of the applications that will be removed from the update however you will be able to install them from Market.
Kindly follow our Facebook page in order to be aware of all the news. 20.05.2011
Yay! another thread on the same thing!! w00t!
Get used to it untill it's over it was the same deal through june, july and august prior to the froyo update last year.
Also great news for everyone on sense roms
this is the last news from htc suport
As long as the apps removed are not part of the sense experience.
Which is exactly the same as they have already stated on facebook, which is exactly the same as already stated in other posts.

I still think they should reconsider and just move stuff from sense into htc hub - save space and make me happier if they shifted STOCKS off my phone!

actually this solution would be there already as from the beginning, or this should not be a special workaround just for Desire from now on. We'll see it.

also can you link us the link from your original source as looking on twitter and FB i couldnt see them reference anything new since last week.
I don't like having to edit custom rom's to remove the stock.apk out just to do something that should be optional anyway...
who uses stocks? no one - that's who.... (or at least I think the majority don't use it!)
im using the stock froyo:X because im waiting the update
Wrong stocks

edit: or were you referring to the comment about 'using stock froyo'
I'm using stock since yesterday... I've been using oxygen, smooth, very, very fast rom and brilliant battery life but today I discovered that MMS are not working at all on the correct settings. I've been reinstalling oxy etc. but no success.
Now I'm on stock froyo and I think that it's smoothier than some other roms from xda. (Sense 2.1+3.0 mixes)
No examples but like I said, no problematic and smooth rom.
I've been using custom roms for months, always some sh**... random reebots / USB speed problem (kernels and sh***)... Now I can say 'uff' - everything works.
Sry for my eng - polish native
Yes yes, stock rom is very stable and is fast, and waiting for ginger 2.3 stock.

hey there one advantage of the Desire limited ROM Space, if HTC have to remove stuff to get 2.3 out.. then surely there no room for the Carriers to put in all there junk... or will they just have a hish fit cause they can't put there junk on and so not roll out there own 2.3
phew glad i am on an unbranded handset

Yeah I was thinking that myself! Actually my Desire was originally Orange (Spain) branded and they had put all this awful bloatware on it so that was my original reason for rooting and good thing too! I think Orange are the worst for it, though I've heard Vodafone are pretty bad too...
I'm on Vodafone but there is no bloatware on my device. Not even a Vodafone logo.

Get a mirror - Skype video calling now runs on Desire

Update today
Yup. Tried it. Works great. U'll def need a mirror and an extra hand cos it gets tiring after a while.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
lol nice - I don't suppose anyone knows if it works on a xoom yet?
I'll be annoyed if it does as my other half wanted to skype to her friend but we had no camera other than the xoom and now I got a camera for her laptop as I couldn't convince them both to use googletalk
I bet Skype is still buggy though.

Yep. Major buggy. Couldn't get vid to work, mute and speaker buttons not working. Still have to sign in and out everytime otherwise it constantly runs (not a bug, I know, but a bloody big annoyance). Uninstalled to an earlier version.
i'd use gtalk if i had friends on gtalk... then again i have no friends on skype either
i'm still not big on the whole video chat to be honest anyway!
It's still got issues. Having to sign in and out all the time. Having to type password each time. Some online contacts don't show for ages. Getting missed calls without so much as a ring. But so far video was very good but as expected big drain on battery due to screen on(video) and skype seemingly running in background.
Overall I'm happier. Now where is that conversion kit to use the back camera as a front camera. What came of the OneMoreFace concept. We could do with something like that nowish.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
tried it from my Desire (froyo) to an iPhone/skype.
I received the video from their end, but couldn't send out my video signal :-(
I'm on Reflex S and its no good, my video initializes but then as soon as call is answered, blank screen it just goes black, but I can still receive theirs....
Tried it today, didn't receive nor i could send my video.. Quite dissapointing, but fingers crossed they fix it soon.
Has anyone tried this on the stock 2.3. It didnt work for me.
I tried this on skype this morning managed to get it to work. Seems to look alright on the computer over Wifi. Havent tried over 3G yet. Audio quality does need improving though, but the video seemed alright, a bit slow but alright.
I can report that using InsertCoin CM7 HBOOT/STOCK 1.0.9, the new Skype version does not allow video for me.
I use instead the patched version here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16323558&postcount=1028
version 0.6 based on the previous version.
seems to work really fine once you set the resolution to Force 320 X 240.

it doesnt work for me either on IC 1.0.9
i think maybe cause its is an Ace S based rom (DHD i think ?)
Yup, I have Insertcoin 1.09 using latest v06 snq kernel and it seems not working.
works for me here with plain IC 1.0.9 and using v0.6 of the skype mod (not Kernel), but need to set the camera option to "force 320x240" otherwise it will not work.
Nice news, i will give it a try shortly
On my desire with CM7 new skype is not working properly. I can't send video.

It worked for me either instead of version from the Market, but the phone unexpectedly rebooted two times. I guess it's some kind of a bug.
The most strange of all that I was not using the phone at that moment. Well I've uninstalled patched version and now I'm waiting for the next official release from the Market.

Converting to GPe. Firewater fail

Hi guys. I'm convert ing my AT&T M8 to GPe since I'm used to using my nexus tablet so much. This is my first shot at custom ROMs with android but I used to be big into the homebrew scene in the good old PSP days, so I'm not a stranger to modifying devices past their potential lol.
I've flashed my custom recovery and have installed supersu to the device, however.0, after running firewater, it fails and says firewater can't work with the device. It stops after "chugging first bottle"
I even installed Insertcoin rom because it says to do it with a rom with an insecure kernel for better results and it still fails.
- on a side note, while I have insertcoin installed in the meantime, does anyone know why after I flashed the rom my boot time is a few minutes long now? Seems strange to me.
Anyways, any help/comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

HTC patched the exploit Firewater used, doesn't work anymore. Can try Sunshine S-OFF
[Android][HTC S-OFF] SunShine for modern HTC devices
It's $25 , though it works and even in the event that it "might" not work. Your device gets tested to make sure it'll work before you have to pay the money, so if it passes you can pay, if it won't succeed you won't need to pay $25 for something that won't work...
Ah fiddlesticks! No way around that, huh? Well I guess I can learn to live with Sense. Does anybody recommend any other roms that don't need s-off other than the Insertcoin one I'm running now? I can learn to live with it but it does take roughly 5 minutes to boot, which is kind of a pain. Just wondering. Thanks.

the long boot time is due to out of date firmware look in the development section on updating firmware with S-On

definitely will check it out once I get into the rom a bit.
One more quick, possibly stupid question (I'm sorry to be a pain). Granted, I understand that the sense overlay is meant to run the sense based software and was never designed for crossover development, but is there any way to bring over the duo camera software to the GPe rom? If not, it's no big deal. I was just curious. It's honestly the only thing I'd miss. The standard google cam software is alright, but I know the camera is meant to do certain things. Just wondering.

In not entirely certain about this but apparently since GPE was built specific for this device the GPE camera app supports the hardware of the camera including the duo. The difference is the camera effects which can be done post picture with the HTC software available from the play store
