I was reading that Ice Cream Sandwich won't have flash player. So if I upgrade the phone, it will be without it!

ICS has the flash player now. But flash for Android will only be supported for a limited time. Jelly bean (Android 5) most certainly won't have it.

Flash player also takes up a good amount of memory, which increases with each update haha. Hopefully sites switch to html 5 then cause the desire is handy when trying to access those flash sites.

[Q] 3D Drivers on Gingerbread

Does anybody know if there is a Gingerbread AOSP ROM that has the 3D Drivers? I'm pretty sure the Nexus One OTA for 2.3.3 already came out...
I am using Oxygen's ROM, and I understand that it is hack-free so therefore it will not include it. Is there like a flashable thing or something?
I'm using Oxygen as well and I don't have any problems with 3D apps. Be sure to have the newest version. It can be found here download.oxygen.im/roms

I'm having problems with games such as Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X, Backbreaker, and other 3D games. Do you know if I just have a faulty copy or if I have to use 2.2?
Just tested the games you mentioned.
No problems so far. If you came from 2.2 without wiping your device, may be a cause for your problems.
I always do a full wipe, when coming from another rom or version. And never had any problems or glitches.

Wildfire S doesn't support Adobe Flash & Adobe AIR, just like ChaCha. This phones are low-end phones and thats is a problem - shame, becouse there are quite nice and new phones.
Why it doesnt make sense!!

I've managed to get Adobe Flash Player 10.2 working on my HTC ChaCha! I've done a tutorial on how to do it
Hope this helps
I also got Flash 10.2 working on the Wildfire S. Videos work great and most flash based apps do too. But flash based apps don't show in the market, which is fine by me.

I use Opera Mobile. I don't need "super function" but i want smooth scrolling and zoom. Opera has gpu acceleration and works smoother than the stock and offers, imho, the best performances on htc devices with gingerbread
My personal preferance is xscope. I find it easy to maneuver and importing bookmarks extremely easy.

Currently using the stock browser. Don't need any more advanced browser than that.
Have thought about changing to opera mobile or so.
I've been using Dolphin Browser for a long time now, and it's just what I need, when I need. It's decently fast, and I'm not experiencing any download drops. I've used Fiefox and Maxton before as well as the stock one, and one thing they had in common was the download drop.

I'm using Firefox for Androit.
I had personal Problems with Opera thats why I'm using Firefox
Browsers
Been a dedicated user of Opera for about 5 years, find that every update brings something you wanted but have just switched to a custom ICS rom and found Opera doesn't support flash on it! They are usually pretty on the ball about fixing problems but ICS has been out for months now, can anyone confirm another browser that supports flash on ICS 4.0.3. I've got a DHD with LordClockan's Ice Cold Sandwich 3.0. Hopefully it'll be sorted soon coz although I've tried almost all other browsers always seem to come back to Opera for its speed and smoothness.

Nobody. I said opera has gpu acceleration and it's smoother. Stock browser also has it, is fast when loading pages but has a slower zoom and scroll. With ice cream sandwich i prefer stock browser (i used on sensation) but chrome will be a very good browser in the final version. Just my impressions.

Boat Browser, best one I have used so far (except the stock ICS browser and Chrome which come pretty close, but not everyone can use them at the moment)
Hey mate,
Currently using Dolphin HD. Main reason why, it allows you to set your agent to desktop, so you can view full websites instead of the mobile site.
I prefer Opera browser! It gets the job done
Opera on my tablet, chrome & opera on my phone and stock on android-x86 on my netbook

Well, but text reflowing on zooming is slower on opera mobile. Also sometimes javascript doesnt work. Other than that opera is good browser. But i usually use stock one.

I'm using Maxthon, may be wrong, but I think it is the only one that returns immediately to the previous page via the back button, ie it's cached, not reloaded. Great for reading forums
Also, the version I am using (v2.0, build 2775) formats the page perfectly - if the page is multi-column, like your typical newspaper, it sizes the width according to the column width, which is really good. No need to resize once it has finished loading. Oddly, I have tried later versions of this browser, and I can't get it to behave this way.

In my Opinion, regarding the discontinued update on mobile Flash Player:
It should still play on ICS, but due to Adobe discontinues mobile Flash player, if there are new API/system used by Adobe Flash, the currently available Flash Player will not be able to play the content.
That is just my opinion based on what I read from the Internet, I also heard that Adobe suggested to uninstall Flash Player after upgrading to Jelly Bean, due to a possible instability because of new Android API

Google Now

Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium I was just wondering is it ever possible to get Google now on an ICS or GB ROM that's the killer thing for me...... can it ever be made to work????
There definitely are but its not smooth by any means. Also I heard the voice search doesn't work. Try and do some searching and ill look for the links, I think I saved them somewhere
sent from my rocking HTC G2 loaded with ICS
Google now works on ics roms. Albeit slow. Voice works perfectly. Do a search on xda for Google now ics and you can find the. Zip to install

You can get Google Now for ICS in this thread: [MOD][ICS] The Google Now for ICS Project [ARMv6 & v7]
I've been using it for a while now and it works pretty well, although not as perfect as in most of the youtube videos you've probably seen of the JB version.
For the Vision you need the ARMv7 version.
Google Now is not available for GB and probably won't ever be.
