[Q] Anybody else have issues with Flash?

Do any of you guys have issues with the Flash Player? I am using a 4.0.3 ROM, just a regular one, right after the official update. I used to have no issues with Flash, all of the advertisements were working, I could watch livestreams through the browser, but ever since Flash was "discontinued", it just ceased to work. I have the app installed, nothing was changed in my ROM, except for some minor bloat removal. Can anybody clarify this for me or tell me how to make it work again? Perhaps link me to a proven-to-work APK? I would really appreciate it.

The Adobe Flash Player app states that it will not work on ICS devices. So basically you have to downgrade to Gingerbread just to have flash. I don't think its worth it but still
Hope this helped!

I just installed using the apk.. and set to default in settings.
I tried it with stock 4.1.2 and it threw an error up, 'file with same name already exists'...
Still playing with that one.
edit: works with stock 4.1.2 (flash the zip)..It took a couple of reboots
To show up. Could have been my fault though, I uninstalled all the keyboards
With titanium backup, then flashed the zip.

Works great.. Like it better than Swype already

Thanks for the up. Liking it so far. Wish it would give more guesses than three like swipe does, bur so far so good.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

So far I'm digging it. I've always been a little on the fence with swipe style keyboards on tablets because I have a tendency to tilt the tablet in a weird way. I'm going to force myself to use this for a while to see how things go. Thanks for the link!
Edit- I will say this... as somebody who likes to switch between swipe and standard typing, having both on the same keyboard is pretty much awesome.
Edit again- not to be a Debbie downer but I hope the final version has better prediction... Swift key still takes the cake from what I'm seeing. Perhaps in time with using it, it'll learn...after all, this keyboard learns as you type, no?
Example if I type "hibhello" sometimes it thinks that's what I meant. Other times "hi hello" is listed off to the side in the predictions list and not primary like it should be.

Dumb question - Google claims the current 4.2 keyboard is not finalized yet. I'm on Android 4.1.2, rooted, and installed the .zip through recovery mode.
When my official OTA 4.2 update comes down, will it thereby automagically replace my pre-released 4.2 keyboard with the finalized 4.2 keyboard? I'd assume yes, but I'd rather ask than not know. :good:

A couple things.
First, if you intend to just flash the OTA update (either through the updater app or recovery) it will fail. This is because the update is a bunch of patches, and the first step it does is verify the checksum of many files - including all the ones it intends to patch. If it is looking for the 4.1.x keyboard apk and it's been replaced with the 4.1.2 keyboard, it will fail the checksum verification and abort. So, depending on how stock your system is, you may have to revert it back first OR just download and flash the full 4.1.2 image (easier).
The patch method will not work, but the full image install will - and yes it will 'upgrade' you to the full and released version.

I'm completely stock and rooted. I've changed nothing else aside from installing the AndroidKeyboard4-2.zip in the recovery mode. That's all I did. I just wanted to make sure that if I get the OTA update that whatever keyboard I'm using is the new "final" keyboard and not the "as of October 30th" keyboard.
Thanks for the info! :good:

NP. I'm fairly stock too, outside of being rooted, custom kernel and custom recovery. I'll probably install the beta keyboard tonight.
So if I attempt the OTA patch, it will fail as well, unless I restore *everything* to stock (outside of root). It's easier to just download the full image from Google, apply it via fastboot, and re-install recovery/root/kernel afterwards.

[Q] Camera stopped working after rooting..help?

First of all, I'm a bit new to the whole rooting/custom ROM thing. I rooted my Galaxy s3 i747m using odin and have cwm recovery installed. I flashed a custom stock jelly bean ROM with gapps. Everything works fine except the camera crashes upon startup even using third party camera apps, and there is no default music player installed. The music player is no big deal but I really need the camera to work. I have been searching around for camera apk's and i tried installing one and moving it to samsung/app using root explorer and changing the permissions as instructed. It still doesn't work and I am currently using a mac so it's hard to work with.
Should I try to go back to stock Touchwiz or does anyone have any suggestions on what to do to fix the camera problem? The camera doesnt even show when I search under all applications but it is present in the app folder and as a shortcut.

boot into recovery and see what version it says at the top. if it's not at least 6.0.2.3 or higher, your going to get a status 7 error.
here is the link to cwm 6.0.2.3: http://d-h.st/8qP
place the zip on your sd card and flash this in recovery. reboot recovery and see if its updated. if so, flash the rom/gapps

You can also download rom manager and update your cwm recovery from there.

That's what I did, and now everything works perfect, thanks! The only thing that bothers me is that the apollo music player won't go to the previous song.. but that's not a big deal.

SGH-T989D Telus/Koodo Official Jelly Bean (4.1.2)

Update out! Check your Kies or flash via Odin.
From the Telus website;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BENEFITS AND ENHANCEMENTS
-Actionable notifications will show up in the notification pane.
-Jelly Bean makes your Android device even more responsive by boosting your device's CPU instantly when you touch the screen, and turns it down when you don't need it to improve battery life.
-With Android Beam, you can now easily share your photos and videos.
-As you place widgets on the screen, everything else automatically moves to make room. If they're too big, widgets resize on their own. If you choose to resize a widget, apps and widgets will now also move out of the way.
-Google Now automatically delivers relevant real-time information.
NOTE: Google is releasing this update in stages. Your smartphone will receive a notification when this update becomes available to you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Koodo:
Download now HERE
If you are with Telus, you can flash this as well, see HERE
Edit: I attached vlingo.apk from ICS for anyone who misses the Samsung voice commands and driving mode for bluetooth headsets. I figured they would of put that in, as it is law for hands free driving in Canada...but I guess they needed space. Enjoy.

Downloading now! Thanks!

I had a feeling they were going to release it today, just flashed a rom last night.
Good thing im an addict, hehe
Its funny you check the add date of it on samsung firmware and it said that it was added Feb-27-13.

Watt.....4.2.1 official.....
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

It's actually 4.1.2. I'm running it now. Haven't had a whole lot of time to try it out but it seems pretty nice so far. It's a huge change from 4.0.4, will take some getting used to before I'm sure of what I like about it and don't

Did you install with Kies or Odin? Are you on Telus or Koodo?
Based on the file names, it doesn't look like there is much functional difference between the TLS and the KDO (same radio this time around?). I'll be downloading tonight.

I'm on Koodo and I used Odin for the update. I'm guessing the only difference is going to be the boot screens.

What is there for bloat? Telus/ Koodo add any crap to it

Quick question about flashing with odin - Does this restore the stock recovery as well?

Yes, It will restore to like the day you bought it. except it wont wipe the internal or external sd, but i would recommend backing up your internal if you have important stuff on it just in case

Pretty much nothing. There's just standard Google/Samsung stuff.

Could anyone extract the radio if you have a chance please?

So what is this like? I'm running CM 10 right now, and quite frankly, don't see a reason to change. I'm having no issues with it at all. Anyone have an opinion on it?

Android 4.3 OTA, Flash apk will not install

I recently updated my Nexus 7 to 4.3 via OTA. In previous version of android, i never had no issues installing flash.apk file from either adobe direct or other locations. This time, after the OTA to 4.3, I have no luck at all.
Unknown sources - Check
Reboot and attempt install - check.
any other suggestions?
PS. after OTA update, I factory reset to provide a clean install.

Well, for sh1ts & giggles, decided to try to reinstall the flash apk.
Sure enough it worked.
