Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?

After hexediting all facebook youtube videos works again. Also streetview on google maps is working :)

I'm curious, how did you determine which hex values are responsible for flash version?

So, in order to have flash player v10.1 working with youtube and embeded facebook videos here's what I did:

1. Remove old flash player, type in terminal as root (OPTIONAL):

Code:

apt-get remove --purge adobe-flashplayer

2. Download new version from (link provided by pinochio):
Flash Player v10.1.98.88

3. Install Flash using:

Code:

dpkg -i /path/to/adobe-flashplayer-10.deb

4. Bump the version up by faking it through hexediting:
I've used hexedit available for n900 which you can get with this command:

Code:

apt-get install hexedit

type this to hexedit libflashplayer.so:

Code:

hexedit /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so

5. Once in Hexedit, press CTRL+S and type in 31302e31 and press enter, the string you've just found need to be changed to 31322e31

6. Now, press CTRL+S, type "y" and search for 31302c31 and change it to 31322c31

7.Press CTRL+S then "y" again.

Close terminal and enjoy new faked v12.1.98.88 flash player :)

Please What "hexedit" is available for N900?

Edit file on a PC (preferably linux). Don't know what hex editors for Windows/mac, must be plenty though..

I could've had this on my N900s a whole ten days ago, and I just find out now?

Well, Council was aware of it for about half of a year. Initially (~first two weeks), there were good reasons to no make it widely known* (and I know what I'm talking about, as I was one who informed rest of Councilors about this "hidden" release).

But, why it wasn't properly announced later, is beyond me. Well, probably, Council was too occupied by writing two pages of bylaws, during 5 months ;) I bet that - of course - official bullsh|t statement from Council, is going to look something like "we waited for Nokia answer about it for last 5 months, but those bastards never responded".

Well, after all, Councilors had access to it already - why they should care for "little people" here... Say "hi" to great practices of Maemo's Council A.D 2012. Enjoy more from soon-to-be Board.

I knew, that sooner or later, someone will just drop link to TMO. But, as I'm already declared as total opposition of what current Council represent, I didn't wanted to do it - and then, become accused of "sabotaging" Council's efforts / gaining popularity, by publishing highly demanded package (found, in fact, by someone else).

// Edit

And yes, I know that I'm gonna get trolled for this post. Oh, well.

*Pinochio doesn't have anything to do with this "release" - he just posted here link, that was floating for quite some time. Original finder was someone not-to-bright, who was afraid to install it on own device, and "spammed" few people on IRC with link to it, and questions, about it being "virus free" (or something like that).

I was one of people that got this link, initially, and I've informed rest of Councilors [I was Councilor, then - everything happened just after last election]. This file was present on some Nokia's internal repo - by mistake, or, on purpose, left with access open to everyone.

in the meantime, Pali, and other knowledgeable folks, mirrored whole gigabytes of data from this repo, and ensured, that there are no similar ones on such domain + if there is anything else interesting, sleeping there. Unfortunately, everything else was already available from other sources - flash 10 was only interesting thing.

As you can see, it was important to keep it secret, initially - Nokians could still shut down the repos, if it would become widely known fact. We waited for guys, that were mirroring it, and searching for other "vaults".

Just a little while later I stepped down from Council. Despite that, few times, I've marked need for announcing it properly - both in private conversations with Councilors, and other people. Unfortunately, to no avail.
