[Q] BBC Iplayer: Device not supported? even with froyo and flash 10.1

I was using bbc iplayer yesterday on the mobile site (which requires flash) And it was absolutely fine, but today its saying my device is not supported. I'm using pays-Rom froyo aNd the full iplayer site works fine (apart from its not optimized for mobile).
Anyone else had this?

How do I find out what build I'm using? And did you update flash recently?

Go to Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All and it will be listed there - click on it and it'll say the build...
I use an MCR r8-based ROM so it has the latest Flash release in it already, I can provide a link to the APK if you need it (or just Google 'Flash 10.1.92.8 APK' and you'll find links)

IT'S not letting me install it. It says "application not installed" , don't know what's going on here.

What version are you on at the moment? I also take it you're using a file manager to install it and have 'unknown sources' ticked to allow non-Market apps

10.1.72.7 Yh I'm using astro file manager and unknown sources is checked. I select upgrade and it starts installing then stops and says application not installed.

Anyone know why its not installing?

I had the same issue with MCR6, and in order to update Flash I had to delete it from /system via recovery. Once this was done, I could reinstall again.
I think it is probably because Flash is installed /system, and you can only update /system apps via the Market. Note, this is a theory, not a fact, but I notice that later MCR builds have Flash installed in /data.

Dave

Ok thanks Dave, how do I remove an app using recovery? And how come flash isn't in the market yet?

I believe Flash is in the Market, but unless your build.prop indicates you are using a Nexus One, it won't appear.
Vis-a-vis deleting whilst in recovery, I should have been more explicit in that you use ADB whilst in recovery to delete the APK from /system.

[Q] Uninstall Friend Stream

I just rooted my Froyo Desire and I want to uninstall Facebook, Friend Stream, Twitter.
I am using Titanium Backup to uninstall.
But everytime I uninstall, the phone reboots.
Any suggestions?

You can't uninstall them that way, you need a custom ROM with them removed (but you might go into a constant sync loop if you do on a Sense-based ROM)

ok, thanks for the reply.
would you be able to direct me to the best custom rom out there?
i'm new to this stuff, i think i flukely rooted my desire (SLCD). lol

No one can say what the 'best' ROM is as it's subjective. I don't even use a custom ROM any more as I've no issues with the stock ROM.
If you want to try one without Sense then look at OpenDesire - it's compiled from source specifically for the Desire as opposed to being ported from the Nexus One

ok cool, thanks will try that see how it goes

I managed to uninstall them just by using root explorer (with the s-off mod of course) and they have gone and no boot loop problems etc.
Phil

Yes if you have made the s-off hack you should be able to uninstall using titanium. But some stock apps are used for sync as mentioned.

OK, i see what the problem now is, I have S-ON.
I just reflashed (or whatever its called) and this time turned S-OFF in the Unrevoked settings, but when i boot the phone to see if it has changed, it is still on S-ON!!! What Gives?????

You need to use alpharev for S-OFF. It is quite safe and fast.
Have a look here

Ok thanks. I will try it and let you know what happens.

If you flash a custom Rom, you can delete some apk files from the Rom zip file, and some afterwards using adb. Not everything is save, some things are best removed using one method. You should check on the developers forum or site. The sense-based Leedroid Rom has a good documentation concerning this.

You can just remove them using adb whilst in Recovery.

How can I add the Apps2SD/Apps2SD+ function on my Desire???

htc desire rooted but problematic

ok guys i need some help on this one.
i am new to the whole htc desire. i have a galaxy tab and galaxy s. none of which are this difficult.
my issue is with this security (which i assume is the problem)
i installed UNrevoked yesterday on my new htc desire and it worked fine.
then i installed titanium backup but it had a problem so i hit the "problem" button ot TB and that now works.
when i try to use any other program that needs to do any modifications to the system the desire reboots for example if i use busybox installer it would start and it would gain superuser permission but it would reboot later on
if i try to use the program adfree the minute it updates the hosts file (does its work) the desire reboots.
i assume (and i am new to this desire stuff) it maybe a security issue?
please help!

Don't think so, either do a factory rest or flash a custom rom.

thanks but very vague answer though.
anyhow i'd flash a custom rom however i dont want to lose arabic support as i use arabic all the time ...

I'm not 100% sure on your problem but try this.
Download Clockwork Recovery from the market (root only) and then scroll to the bottom of the menu there and select 'Fix Permissions'.
I did this with mine and never had same problem as you.

problem resolved.
used alpharev.
thanks!

It seems a lot of people are having issues with 10.3. I uninstalled completely and installed 10.2 and all of my issues vanished. No issues with websites playing flash with the stock browser and dolphin HD. (Haven't tested others) Hulu works as well.
I found these on another thread so I take no credit for making them.

Use Root Explorer to navigate to this folder/file and on the top right of the screen it says "R/O"...make sure you tap it once and it says "R/W" for Read/Write and then delete the file.

How does one install the Adobe Flash Player 10.2 above? I downloaded it to my computer and then sent to my gmail to install. However, when I attempt to install the apk it will not install. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Make sure you uninstall 10.3 first then install 10.2

I've done exactly that and I still can't install 10.2. I'm currently on 10.1 and can't install.

Try and use titanium backup to uninstall flashplayer + data completely then load the 10.2 apk. What rom are you using?

my flashplayer just sits in my downloads and does nothing, no data, need help

Try this
Make sure there isn't any sign of any flashplayer in your installed applications.
Do not flash this file. Put it on your sd card then click on it to install.

Here's what worked for me. Installed 10.2, use TB to convert to system file, rebooted, wiped cache/Dalvik, opened Market, clicked on My Apps, and installed the 10.3 update. Worked perfectly on AOSP GB 2.3.4. I've attached the 10.2 Flash in apk format. Hope this helps.......

In updating to 10.3 I've done what has been suggested in the above posts. I am currently back to Flash 10.1. I've uninstalled Adobe Flash 10.3, wiped cache and dalvik cache. Next I put the 10.2 apk on my sd card. I tried installing it via Astro, ES File Explorer, and Root Explorer. No matter what program I use to install the apk I get an "Application not installed" error. My question is, should I uninstall the stock Adobe Flash 10.1, clear cache and dalvik cache again, and then try to install 10.3?

hey can anyone help me? im a noob and im having trouble with my flash player too. i downloaded the lates update from the market and it still doesnt work. im trying to stream movies online from my evo and it keeps giving me the blue box with a question mark inside. if some one knows how to fix it can you please walk me through it step by step. I have an htc evo 4g running on 2.2, unrooted, flashed to boostmobile, with flash player 10.3

[Q] Possibilities after Rooting ? GS4 for Tmobile.

What happens after the root ?
Do I have to run factory reset ?
Do all my settings stay the same ?
Do I now have the SD app and media transfer capabilities ?
Any feedback and info will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys

You should just Google that question and read about why you should root. Google is your friend.

Nothing.
No.
Yes.
No.
Rooting just gives you access to the system partition. That is it. Nothing else. It does this by adding a system app that acts as a gateway over what apps can and can't have acecss to making changes to the system partition.
Once oyu are rooted you then can use apps and other tricks to add thigns like SD stoarge and stuff like that.

2 questions for you:
what Android and baseband versions is your S4 on?
what are you interested in doing after rooting? do you want to stay near-stock or change/customize everything?

I think I am going to use CyanogenMod Installer and be done with it. This seems to be the simplest and most safe solution for newbies like me.
Plus Cyanogen is really close to Kitkat UI so I will just go with that.
One question though:
I know that I don't have to root my phone to use the installer, is the phone being rooted using the installer ? Or does it stay unrooted with the new OS ?

KitKat is not a UI. KitKat is a version of the Android operating system. The UI is determined by the ROM, which uses the operating system as a base.
You will find that Cyanogen UI is VERY different from the stock TouchWiz ROM UI that you have now. (You may like it better. Half of custom romusers prefer AOSP roms like CM over stock ROMs like TouchWiz or Sense. Half the people hate them. It's all about prefernce)
As fro root, root is not in the phone. Root is in the operating system itself. Cyanogen comes with root preinstalled, so by installing CM you will have root. All custom roms are pre-rooted like this. All root really is is an app in the system partition called Superuser. That's it.

Thanks for the info again.
My friend is trying to back up his data before we both proceed with the CyanogenMod Installer but has difficulties with backing up third party apps. He says he can back up Samsung apps with no problem but there is always a problem with third party apps. Any recommendation on good backup app ? He also purchased Titanium backup but he needs to root his phone to use it.
That's for my friend now I have one more question:
Will I have googleapps with cyanogenmod installer right from the start ? I still want to use google play store, gmail, google maps and so forth.

Just root the phone first and make your back ups.
CF Auto root. It takes 30 seconds. It's the easiest thing in the world. You literally CANNOT screw it up.
Root hte phone, make backups, then install CM.
Also, Helium backup is what I use. Makes everything into a clean batch operation. And it's free. But you need to be rooted.

If I don't need to back anything up should I still root my phone ? As you mentioned before CM Installer comes with the root.
And also after the CM is installed will I have an option to go back to my previous system ?
Will it install Stock Recovery ? And what does that mean ? I am sorry I am really new to all this. Just trying to learn.

You can always go back via odin (search and ye shall find more aboit odin). Just install CM and be done with it. Take the plunge.
Sent from your phone. You should be more careful where you leave that thing.

One more and last question:
After CM installation using CM installer, do I get all google apps installed ? Such as Gmail, Maps, Google Voice Search ?
And is lookout app working with CM ?

Not sure with the cm installer but I don't think so. Tge gapps package doesnt come with cm when you flash it in recovery. But its easy to do. Just download gapps, they are in every single rom thread on xda, and flash them in recovery
