Let's try actually going to Adobe and saying "Hey, please make a version of flash for us D: "

Good idea. I added my vote and comments.

Now does anyone have info on whether all versions of Flash require ARMv7 processors or if there is a version, even an old one that will work?

HTC Hero had a version of flash lite, not full flash though. Worked for most sites that I went on. Won't work on the optimus though. What would it take to port it over?

 

[dachiefmizzy]

Flash will probably never hit the optimus unfortunately. It has the same internals as the Palm Pixi + and this was stated a long time ago by either palm or adobe I believe.

I think I said this already in this thread but the hero uses flashlite. To get that to work on our phones one would need to port the HTC framework also. Has not been done on any device to date.

OK, this is getting annoying. Sorry guys, I'm with all the nay-sayers. Flash is not supported by the Optimus' processor and THERE IS NO OTHER VERSION OF FLASH to try and download on android.

There is Flash Lite, but as others have mentioned, it will work if someone can port the HTC framework from a phone that ran it - which hasn't been done before. Go ahead and ask them to make a version that will work, but I don't think they will as most (not all) phones that don't support flash 10 will stop being sold soon if they haven't already, considering what we saw at CES.

Thanks gm for the clear statement,that's all I was looking for.

you know...

while the phones presented at CES were sexy, sleek and powerful...

I wouldn't count the "cheap" phones out for a little while longer...

That being said, I think we have a snow ball's chance of getting flash on this phone.

Sad part is this class of phone is actually really decent compared to some of the "higher" end phones that have recently been released... I think that's greatly in part to the larger amount of ram that this phone's been imbued with...

Ram (which is so cheap) has hindered so many phones.

I have this as my personal phone... and a Droid X as my work phone...

This phone routinely has 150-200mb of ram free... and runs consistently faster and more smoothly than my droid X... (no, I haven't modded the X... it's my work phone...) but stock to stock this was at least as fast.

ah well...

Flash Player

I've been trying to find flash player for my Optimus, I can't seem to pull it up in the market. Any suggestions?

 

[justin926]

unfortunately, flash isnt available for the optimus at this time... maybe eventually, but im pretty sure adobe has to officially make it for our device. ):

 

[The DragonTJH]

Bummer.

Thanks for the info though.

You can have limited flash playback with skyfire browser though.

 

[johnsharp]

well anything work!

does anyone know if the phone can use a flash drive yet? cause i really could use one on my phone right about now... thank you!

 

[SweetBearCub]

"a flash drive" as in a USB-connected memory chip that appears as an external drive on a PC? No. Our phone does not have the capability to act as a host to USB devices (as far as I know?), which is required.

Flash, as in mini-games, videos etc? Not natively. If you want them, use Skyfire, and alternative browser that you can find in the Market.

Flash Player for Optimus S

Can anyone tell me if they have found a flash player that works on the Optimus S? I guess flash 10.1 won?t work on our phone cuz of the processor? Anything anyone may offer would be helpful for me at this point.

 

[Nick7]

Skyfire browser works alright

 

[jmzsctt]

I want to play Netflix on my phone... will that work on Skyfire. I am using the PlayOn app for Netflix.

 

[omarnova]

im interested in this also...would be cool if we had a flash player working, skyfire works fine but my skyfire closes on its own for no reason

I agree... I just don’t know how hard it is to get a flash player to work with arm 6. It would be nice if LG would release a fix.
