Re: [ANNOUNCE] Tweak Flash Version

Thanks provide this application first.
I had tried this application, but it looks like not work very good.
I had used N900 to run the Flash games on the facebook, ex. FarmVille, Treasure Isle...etc. It also can not run.
It could show the game loading screen, but stop at loading 50%...

Does anyone know how to get a solution?

Thanks!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Tweak Flash Version

To reiterate:

This app will not change or affect the Flash abilities of your device in any way.

It just disables version checks - nothing more, nothing less. If your problem is not in the version checks, this app won't solve your problem.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Tweak Flash Version

All I can say is WAY TO GO!! You Rock!! 2 Thumbs up!! You just doubled the usefulness of my N900.. THANK YOU!!

Well, Ladies and Geeks, the days of manually fiddling with your hex editor to work around or deal with terminal/root stuff is over. Fully appreciating people who experimented with this before me (kevloral et al), I give you Tweak Flash Version which allows you to painlessly change the reported flash version from a GUI (and it even makes a backup of the .so - ha !). Note - this will NOT make flash faster or sites genuinely requiring Flash 10 work. What it does is getting you around pesky Flash version checks. Enjoy.

EDIT:

The backup is at ~/MyDocs/libflashplugin.so.pr1.2

A Diablo version will follow shortly when we get the kinks sorted out on Fremantle.

You don't need to restore the original libs if you are already using kevloral's binaries, tweakflashver will handle those just fine.

Found that this depends on the embedded video. On http://www.facebook.com/kronosquartet there are two videos posted on October 13, one from youtube, which works for me, a second from vimeo.com, which doesn't.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Tweak Flash Version

Something in PR 1.3 changed. Flash version seems a little different, so tweaking is not possible anymore.

Correct - received an error about the flash package size not matching.
Found a web site to check the version, hoping 10 was included in PR1.3 - no luck though.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Tweak Flash Version

I pray and hope this app gets updated soon :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Tweak Flash Version

Have a busy programme today so expect the update most likely tomorrow (and those of you who DO mind getting borked, in 10 days when it's through QA).

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Tweak Flash Version

this is not working on PR1.3 :(

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Tweak Flash Version

Yes, so let's reiterate.

1. Tweaking is done against a very specific version of Flash (I cannot redistribute, only modify what you already have)

2. That's why the package has the PR version in the description, PR1.2 ONLY means, well... only PR1.2

3. Nothing fundamental has changed, I just need to patch tweakflashver (real soon now) for the new firmware and then it will be PR1.3 ONLY

Long story short: patience, dammit :)
