Putting Flash Lite 4.0 on Droid?

**Unknown User** · 05-11-2010, 04:03 PM

I know that the Motorola Droid is going to get full Flash support supposedly in the next update, but I would still like to visit some flash sites now vs. having to wait till the release of full flash support. My friend got the HTC Incredible and I noticed that it can visit some of the sites that have flash in it. I found out that it uses Flash Lite 4.0. Is there any way I can load this on to the Motorola Droid?

you need to root and use the desire rom. you cant just pull flash out and plug it into the droid. it the htc framework.

I am pretty sure it has Flash lite, just not the full blown flash we should receive with 2.2

no my droid definitely doesn't play any type of flash, other than the skyfire browser

**mcknott** · 05-11-2010, 06:33 PM

only droids running the desire roms have flash lite

I am sure you wouldn't even notice.

Flash lite and FLASH are two different monsters

Correct me if I am wrong, but the Droid has Flash Lite already. If you got to a site with say a YouTube clip embedded you see it, or say the Phillies website it shows SOMETHING where there should be flash. You just cannot interact with it.

I understand flash and flash lite are different. I flashed a desire rom for a short time which had flash lite and was able to watch some flash content on the droid, but it was limited, I am 99.9% sure the motorola droid does not have flash lite in stock form.

Ah but it does.

Most of the time you don't use it because almost everything that is flash lite enabled is also HTML5 enabled

never saw anything with flash work on my droid other than when i had the desire rom. but all i can say is flash 4.0 lite is about useless

No it doesn't, it just doesn't. Whats makes you think that it does?

**thebizz** · 05-11-2010, 07:34 PM

Pretty much know at this point our phones support neither and after watching the videos benchmarking html5 I'm glad it doesn't the performance on the n1 sucked

from cnet: "Finally, while the Droid's browser doesn't have Flash Lite support, it does have a plug-in that will support Adobe's Flash 10 player when it's available."

the only android phones that have flash lite are android 2.1 phones that run sense ui. this happens to be because HTC, with the help of Adobe, developed this. NOT google. soo, the droid does not have flash lite.
