Flash 10.1 for Nexus One Works on HTC EVO 4G and Droid Eris, No Froyo Required

Do you want to access Flash 10.1 on HTC EVO 4G android 2.1 éclair ROM? Well, you can get full working flash without waiting or installing android 2.2 Froyo! mysterioustko, a XDA member has recompiled APK for 2.1 packed with Flash 10.1 for HTC EVO 4G. Works flawlessly on Nexus One and Droid Eris as well. Great news for EVO 4G users, since Flash 10.1 will not be available on the EVO officially.

In order to use Flash 10.1 on HTC EVO, use the recompiled version of apk 2.1 that replaces the Flash Lite application, which is enabled by permission called android.webkit.permission.PLUGIN. In that way, this permission will also allow Flash 10.1 to run on the EVO and Nexus One.

AuxLV, who modified the APK to work on Android 2.0 and 2.1 explains.

Here’s recompiled APK for 2.1. It installs, but browser does not “see” it. Here’s explanation why.

Android 2.2 has a new feature called com.google.android.feature.GOOGLE_PLUGIN. And Flash uses it to embed itself inside browser. So browser in 2.1 does not see plugin.

BUT!There’s another thing inside – a permission called android.webkit.permission.PLUGIN. It is already used by Flash Lite on HTC devices. So my APK will work and replace Flash Lite. But I did not test, because I do own… Acer Liquid!

So! HTC users! Try this one! And if it will work instead of your flash lite – report. Your help will be used to port full-blown Flash to other 2.0 and 2.1 devices (yeah! 2.0 is also supported!).
