I have bought Samsung Galaxy Ace handset and from the day one its creating a problem.
Model Number : GT -S5830
Android Version : 2.3.4
BaseBand Version : S5830DDKQ6
Build Number : GINGERBREAD.DDKQ6
Its ask that Adobe Flash Player Version 11 is not available once I download it its tell that your handset is not compatible.
I have performed the above the steps still it does not work
How do I rectify this. Its shocking that I am able to surf You Tube but not able to surf a web site.
its a site issue and not a firmware issue, check opening that website in your pc!
what are the advantages of the flash player?
with flash you can open all the websites!
do you mean flash based websites?
yes, correct the flash based websites
with default settings you cannot load and play flash content on your galaxy ace/mini/gio device. after this hack you can load and play them like in your PC browser
I have Galaxy Fit 5670
Recently my device upagrade with 2.3.6
so my device is not rooted
of rooted posible pls tell me how to rooted and install flash player.
yes it is possible
can i do this for samsung galaxy y?
no, not as of now!
Hi,
I have rooted galaxy ace. I also have installed terminal emulator and I am familiar with linux commands as well. Cant I do above .so file moving without using root explorer? ( just using ‘mv /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer’ as root using terminal emulator)
Thanks in advance,
Jayanath.
no, you need to use root explorer to change the settings manually
does this work on galaxy y???
not doesnt work in galaxy y
After installing flash player it supports flash but with a lot of lagg,, is there any fix for this ???
Thanks in advance…
install swf player from the market, it will fix the issue!
is it work on galaxy 3 gt-i5801?
no viral it will not wok as of now!
I followed ur guide and successfully installed it in my galaxy gio but I still get the message that I need to instal the latest adobe flash player.
I have used opera, dolphin mini, and the default phone browser with the same result.
Does it work with a rooted Galaxy mini? nice tutorial btw
yes it will work!
Thank you! You are great! It’s working like charm!
Samsung Galaxy Gio. 2.3.4 XXKPG. Jonas Hendrick Rom 2.3
flash will drain ur battery super fast and if u on a quota based internet plan which most phone carrier apply for their internet package better get a monthly 3gb and above data plan because it eats up ur broadband data big time. my advise is to install skyfire instead which has a build in video player for flash and it will saved 70% data usage over flash but the catch is the skyfire web browser is free,the video license to activate the video player u have to pay…u can try google around to activate the video player (laughing with a devil smile..u know what i mean)… one advantages i found out with this video player/web browser although u live in a country which block certain web site such as youtube, yes the web page will show page not found bla..bla..bla but when u press video button it will analyze and waalllaaa the video pops up, press play and enjoy..btw nice article
hey any chance off sum off them sites to work your way round it =]
I have a rooted gio gingerbread 2.3.3 , I did what I had to do, but it dont work. Is it possible that this only work on froyo phones? there one file named libstagefright_FROYO.so? I hope you understood my bad english.

Hi,
I have successfully followed all steps and followed all mentioned steps.
But for copying and permission setting I used root browser instead of root explorer. when i go to flash sites (eg : settings.adobe.com) no flash content is loaded, neither flash required message.

you need to root the device before you apply this workaround!

PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME FILES SYSTEM (E.G. SD CARD) DO NOT ALLOW PERMISSION CHANGES”. Please guide me..Thank you a lot.
Are you trying to change eprmissions of the file on the SD card? If so, you need to move the files into the phone directory where the lib files should be, that way I was able to change permissions…
you can change permissions via es explorer

if there is no finding of data / data, things that should be done
1. open explorer root
2. press the menu button on your device> preference> view mode> select the detailed list.
3. after that you will find the data / data
problem can not paste into lib
use root explorer
1. delete folder “lib” in the data / data / com_adobe_flashplayer
2. create a new folder called “lib”
3. change mounted as r / w to r / o, or otherwise
4. paste the file in it
