[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?

Might need to get the latest Flash version, works fine for me
Has to be on WiFi, mind...and I'm using the latest Flash 10.1.92.8 build

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] How to flash the ROM?

Hi is there somewhere a guide how to flash the ROMs and any list of available ROMs?
Can you advice, recommend some particular ROM?

Hi first of all you have created 2 new threads when you could of created one and asked both questions.
Im assuming that you are rooted looking at your other thread. You need to make sure you have clockworkmod recovery installed, if you haven't the easiest way to do get it is to download ROM manager from the market. Load the app and at the top it will say flash clockworkmod recovery. click on this and this will install CWM recovery for you.
ROM manager is a great tool that les you down load and install ROM's from within the app.
The ROM's available in ROM manager are as follows I'm not going to go in to to much detail, I recommend you have a good read through the dev section about the different ROM's that are available.
CyanogenMod: Is the one of the most popular ROM's available, it is pretty much stock with a few awesome tweaks.
Virtuous: A custom Sense based ROM
MIUI: a really unique ROM that looks more like the iPhone UI, some people love it offers a lot of eye candy and some cool built in features.
There are lots of other ROM's available in the DEV section.
You can download the above ROM's directly from ROM manager and install them really easily just by following the pop ups. Or you can download ROM's from the the DEV forum and place on to your sdcard. Here is a step by step guide.
1, Download your chosen ROM to your sdcard.
2, Reboot in to recovery, select this option from within ROM manager.
3, You will now be in CWM recovery, select back up and restore then backup, this is really important and you should do this before flashing anything. it will enable you to restore you phone to a previous problem free state if you ever mess anything up.
4, Select wipe data, you should do this whenever flashing different types of rom, for example if you are running MIUI and want to switch to virtuous you need to wipe data.
5, Wipe cache, all ways do this regardless of what you are flashing.
6, Head to advance, and wipe dalvik cache.
7, Now time to flash your ROM,
8, Select install zip from sdcard.
9, choose zip from sdcard
10, Navigate to your ROM and select it for flashing.
11, Once complete reboot your phone and you should be running a custom ROM.
It will be worth investing in an app such as titanium backup, this will allow you to back up all your apps and settings, when you install a ROM for the first time and you have to wipe data you will lose everything you have installed and all you settings, Titanium Backup will allow you to restore your apps and setting once you installed a new ROM.
If you want a recommendation for a ROM my personal preference is CM7.
With regards to your other thread, don't worry to much about not having a back up there are guides available for unrooting and going back to stock if you ever need to, not that you will want to after trying custom ROM's
Hope this helps, good luck

Thanks a lot for your reply ,this is exactly what I was looking for now a little calm down

Are you Rooted/S-Off? That's the first requirement.

They should be in case I have proceeded according one of the guides successfully.
However I will check if s-off in bootload but where I can check if rootrd?

Do you have superuser installed?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Yes i have it .

Ok while I wanted to update superuser I've received notification: file package was not correctly signed.
So I think I don't have maybe a root, but I was proceeding exactly according to the guide...
How can I solve it in the best way?:/
Ok it seems that problem with flashing clockworkmod recovery solved by itself, I've flashed it already but still I am curious what about problem mentioned above?

Have you tried booting in to recovery?
Try downloading superuser again you might of got a bad download. But if you have flashed CWM successfully you will have root.

My phone is rooted, Super User is running for ROM manager. I get an error every time i click "Flash ClockwordMod Recovery" HTC G2 is clicked, then i get the error "An error occured while flashing your recovery"
Help please, Im rooted and SU is running fine. I also have busybox.. not that it has anything to do with it

I have just done it, it works pretty well.
Superuser still the same problem. However maybe I forget to mention it but I've already installed it. It was installed automatically during I was rooting my phone using adb command. Now I just wanted to update it and the problem appears as I described in one of the previous posts herein.
Maybe it is not necessary to update it but I am curious why this problem occurs.

You have helped already sufficiently a lot.
Now I ma trying to flash the ROM and as the first one I've chosen CM7
Before I'll do it pls confirm if I'm thinking the right way.
First I'll do backup all my apps (also titanium, Superuser and Rom manager need it? I suppose Yes, or somehow they backup automatically?) Maybe better question is what should be backuped, I am asking because on the list in titanium there are also apps like clock which are delivered with the software. You know after flashing a new Rom and restoring all aps I'd like to avoid overwriting them by the backuped ones.
The second is after apps backup I need to move created file from my phone into my PC,right? The same after system backup by clockworkmod recovery?

With titanium you just want to back up user apps and data (apps you have downloaded and installed). You can choose to back up system apps but you don't want to restore them after flashing the new rom.
You don't need to copy back up files to your pc, your memory card will not get wiped during the flashing process.

Were you using a different ROM before? And if so did you wipe before installing CM7?

yes did both the things

Check the permissions and you need to be s-off if using root explorer.

That is strange then. Personally, I successfully installed CM7 and then (during the same session within recovery) Google apps and had no problems whatsoever.
What kind of error message did you receive when flashing Google apps in recovery? Did you confirm that checksum of the Google appps file was correct?
And are you sure you downloaded this file:

And no some other by a mistake?

[Q] Help with Market

Hello,
I recently installed [ROM]22-01-2012|LC ICS 4.0.3 - 1.0.beta4 | AOSP + CM + COMMUNITY on my Desire HD.
For the first day I had no issues and was loving it, however now I have an issue I can't quite figure out. I can browse the Market but anything I try to installed gets a 404 error. I have cleared the app cache and data and even wiped the Dalvik cache but still get this error.
I haven't flashed GAPPS yet not sure if I should or which version. ANyone else have this and know how to fix it?
Thanks for your time!

I have tried to use enabler but it has changed nothing. I find it odd that I have no difficulty browsing the market, it's just the installs that fail. I have tried to install a younger version as well but Titanium Backup doesn't seem to want to remove it. I appreciate your help thus far!

Well not sure if was the enable r or what, but one thing I hadn't tried was to update an app, and that worked! After that I was able to install fresh apps. Weird. Anyway it's all good, mods can lock this thread and I appreciate your help!

In simple terms; take out the apk from the Gapps package and either cut or copy it. Now, navigate to your ROM's system/app/ directory, and paste the gallery2.apk there. The phone should be booted up the whole time while doing the above. Now, reboot your phone. That's it!

Because that's not how you're supposed to install the apk. Use the instructions I posted above on how to do it.

i took out the gallery 2 apk from all star apps. i pasted it in my roms system/app which overwrite the original one there and i rebooted my phone. nothing is installed on my phone i have no camera now.
