But i don t get it, what do i nead to change in build.prop file ? oo

will this run on none ICS roms, too?
I thought the minimum requirement is ICS to run Chrome Browser, so you may be able to install it, but can you run it?
and btw. I only had this problem at the beginning of the Chrome Beta, now I can just install it from the market so maybe the CM9-port from dk_zero-cool is supported know, or they just check the android-version and not if the devices may be supported.

What will I need to change?
Should I enter a model that is officially compatible to android 4?

What I don't get is, why you think you need chrome. Extremely overrated, in my opinion.

Yes, going with chrome is not a wise idea as per me as well!!

But Google chrome works directly from play store on ICS roms at least it's working for me, every bit of it!!

Yeah, along with dozens of other browsers, among which a few are less laggy and have more features than chrome.
Is there another argument?

The way I see it there must be none, my friend.

I like chrome and i think that this brwoser is better than any other browser
......
but
the only thing is, that chrome is to laggy on our desire

Flash in a WebView

Ooops I posted this to the main Hero forum yesterday by mistake - it is more properly and Android developer post specific to the Hero. . . .
I've been trying to run Flash in a Webview on my Hero.
Flash runs in the standard Browser okay, but I get the 'missing plugin' icon when trying to view anthing with Flash in the WebView.
I'm not sure if it has been disabled, or I just haven't found the right settings. I'm using the standard,
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setAllowFileAccess(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
Then I'm also calling (through reflection) the 'setFlashPlayerEnabled' method described by cyanogen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521221
//Set Flash Player Enabled
Boolean[] input={new Boolean(true)};
try{
Class cl=Class.forName("android.webkit.WebSettings");
Class[] par=new Class[1];
par[0]=Boolean.TYPE;
Method mthd=cl.getMethod("setFlashPlayerEnabled",par);
mthd.invoke(mWebView.getSettings(),input);
mWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/index.html");
}catch(Exception e){}
But still no Flash in the WebView.
Is there anything else that needs to be called?
How about
setPluginsPath("")
. . . . what path should that call on the Hero?

On general Java principles, I'd put some code in this exception handler to see if something is thrown when you get the method or do the invoke...
Otherwise, no ideas
Thanks for that - generally I'm using
mWebView.loadUrl("http://www.google.com/"+e.toString());
while debugging on the device to have any errors sent to the URL bar. A bit nasty, but it gets me the info.

Android 2.2 Flash in a WebView
Hi,
I just tried loading a swf in a WebView and it seems to be working. I needed to enable setPluginsEnabled(true); which I saw in your post. Thanks.
Have you tried asking this question at http://anddev.org ?
let me guess - Android version is 2.1 or lower
I came to that conclusion after i noticed that on my N1 running 2.2 this works flawlessly but on my Evo running 2.1 it shows gibberish.
am i correct?
Hello all.
After trying using flash in my application, I have been very disapointed.
Once the webview is loaded, all my activity blink.
You can find a more accurate description, and the source code of the issue here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5095977/screen-blinking-when-using-a-webview-with-flash
and the demo apk here: http://cl.ly/3g0s1p030j243y0p3m2F
Thank a lot for any help, I cannot sleep till I fix this issue...
Flash content loading fine in webview, but in postDelayed thread it freezes.
Webview get stuck/freezes when i continuously load multiple webviews in a runnable thread in android having flash content.
How can i continue rendering my webview in thread . right first it loads fine and then it start rendering slow and then after a point it freezes.

Flash Player 10.2 for ARMv6

I guess you gave your own answer... you've got a WF instead of a WFS... unless you did a typo?
Fash Player 10.2 for ARMv6
No Typo,
One of the Links stated that HTC Wildfire was a Supported Mobile Phone?
Installed fine, however in Opera Mobile doesn't seems to be working really properly (eg. when starting a video, it will not start it). Didn't try Dolphin yet (was even slow on Galaxy,can't imagine on poor Wildfire S...)
*update* in Doplhin only flash banner works, video not
in Opera - seems it's not working at all
*update2* I think it does not recognize new plugin. Maybe ROOT is required?

It doesn't work on my stock rom. I've seen several posts stating that you need a custom rom to use this modded flash.
If i just click on install, the flash player installs. After a reboot, the FlashPlayer works.
How do i know if that FlashPlayer works? Youtube worked before the installation.

It's probably loading the mobile version if you don't have your user agent edited. Just try megavideo.com, or something with full flash and not mobile optimized.
No, it does not work. Later I will run another try.
I try it this way:
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
DOWNLOAD THE APP BELOW AND SAVE IT TO YOUR SD CARD
NOW MAKE SURE YOU HAVE 'UNKNOWN SOURCES' ENABLED IN YOUR SETTINGS > APPLICATIONS
NOW OPEN ANY FILE MANGER LIKE ASTRO AND NAVIGATE TO THE APK FILE WHEREVER YOU STORED IT
JUST OPEN THE FILE AND CLICK INSTALL
NOW REBOOT THE PHONES ONCE INSTALLATION COMPLETE

It works with the CM7.1 port and kernel by alquez.
Perhaps Jikantaru can build a new JikantaruROM Euro version including the FLASH PLAYER 10.2 FOR ARMv6 AND ARMv7 ANDROID PHONES.
You'll see if it works, when you visit xda portal and youtube window can play in browser. Go watch Sassibob or caplat.
Sassibob or Caplat work without any problems on youtube mobile.
But if i try megavideo.com then it jerks; image and sound are async.

Yeah, especially if you have the large player loading, if you click small player in the bottom left hand side, it'll run a lot smoother.. at least you have full flash working though. The megavideo player does use a lot of resources now since they changed it, it used to run a lot faster.
Hopefully someone will post Flash 11 for armv6 devices soon, and hopefully there are some major improvements.
Can someone write me any positive aspect of having flash in smartphones?
Flash is for playing videos on your browser without having another app to play it ex: youtube app, also it is needed in some websites to show flash images, etc.
I think Pudel89 post that's ironic.

[SOLVED] working Flash on NST!

Follow this to install FLASH 9 (10 Lite ?) on NST :
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/133...sh-101-for-21-and-flashplugin-as-system-apps/
LSS :
1. merge "/system" folder from the .zip to your "/system" using FM with "root explorer".
2. reboot
3. install 3 flash apps from your SD
4. Profit?
demo from http://www.flashanimation.net/ :
For some reason it's hard to push that little button in the flash.
Post some feedback.
Upload video with better quality.
FTW.
con :
Flash does not work in OPERA.
Works great on "Maxthon Browser" ;]
Aaw... now I'm sad my Nook has a cracked screen... Good job though!
Once I get my nook back from the dead, I will be trying this.
This means watching YouTube videos and playing lots of games with no-refresh, right?
Begging the question.... WHY?????
Sadly no.
It all depends on the flash version used on the site.
- All flash adds work x]
- some flash game portals work
The main "pro" is that the flash-only sites are now accessible for you.
Experiment and make a list of video shareing sites that work ;]
- eg. www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/ works fine
Wonderful.

[DEV][KERNEL[MOD] Lenovo A6020 L36 / A46 (Vibe K5 / Vibe K5 Plus)

Hello people. My device is not listed in DEVDB options, so I must have to create this thread instead a DEVDB project. If it is wrong, please advice me.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm creating this thread to give us more space to create a ROM for our device, like a step-by-step to things we have to do or not. I'll edit this thread with more details when I have more time, but for now, thats what we have done, and I think we need to do:
Root (Thanks to Chainfire)
Custom recovery (thanks to Shreps)
Choose a kitchen to manage the ROM
Discover kernel options
Choose apps to add/remove
A custom app to manage various phone settings, like kernel options, battery settings, and others
Edit build.prop to get right device management
Edit boot.img to have unsecure boot
Help me to add or remove things to the list above, to have a structured plan to build the whole ROM (boot, recovey, system), because last time I manage a ROM was a long time ago, I think about 2010 (was on Xperia X2), and was only for me (my "project" wasn't public). From that time for actual days, I don't manage/create nothing "solid" and structured anymore... And I'm sure all things have changed/updated/died/etc...
To help start familiar with new kitchens (the last was DSIXDA Kitchen), I have choose SuperR's Kitchen. I try to use it inside Cygwin, but it gives me an error while opening, I'm investigating this. So, I setup a virtual machine with Ubuntu in my house, and I have remote access to it from my work. In this VM, I setup the kitchen and (after a time to setup the right Java) it is running fine.
So, let's go, people. I'll edit this post as news are coming.
[UPDATE]What I have found:
If "Google Photos" is removed, then Gallery don't crop wallpapers, or adds a image to a contact;
Titanium Backup can't uninstall/integrate some apps and updates. It says "apk not found". I'm trying to use Link2SD;
SuperSU "lose" the configuration, forcing me to remove the apps I added, then run the app again. I'm looking for this
If you remove "Theme Center", you can't change wallpaper and Lenovo Home gives an error!
If you remove "Google App", "Now Launcher" gives errors about force close.
If you remove LenovoID, Settings force close when try to enter "accounts".
If we integrate "Google Play Services" and hard reset the phone, it force close at second stage of first registration.

I randomly found this thread and noted that you are facing this issue with TB being unable to uninstall some apps. I had the same issue with my device. If you are rooted, navigate to /Cust/Channel/Preinstalled/apps folder (sometimes the "channel" folder may not exist) from your file explorer, you will find the apks for the apps that TB fails to find apk for. Remove the APKs that you don't need and/or move them wherever you feel is right for them, all set

CM 12.1/13 - various builds

Hello guys, I'm going to share some CM builds I've found online and I'd like you to try them and discuss them. Thanks to collapseromer.
Builds are usually compatible both to US and Chinese devices: please say which version you're using when you post/report bugs since we'd like to confirm that.
Most recent I've found (old versions hidden):
BetaHydri (12/07/2016):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/leeco-le1-pro/development/cm12-1-rom-betahydri-letv-1-pro-t3416651
Thanks to our fellow @BetaHydri we have the best of both worlds: working location service (even for mobile and wifi, Smart Lock via location should work now!) and working videos. Nice job!

OK, things are getting serious: we've got Play Store and Google services working fine (location via mobile data and wifi not working), all kind of streaming videos play fine, framerate for GPU intensive games is unbelievable compared to LeTV's 12S stock ROM based Custom ROMs; no major bugs to note except Parrot's Free Flight 3 app not working.

Google Play Store started FCing after like an hour since I installed. I've tried a few things to get it back (uninstall via Root Explorer and reinstall, clear cache and data, flash GApps again) but so far no luck; funny enough, it's auto-updating installed apps and installing apps when I do that via browser just fine. :/
EDIT: Now it works... I guess it's because of the modified build.prop I applied, which I'm attaching here..
Actually I kept getting Play Store working on and off and I couldn't understand what triggers that so I reverted to the ROM below.

Missing SIM possible solution (thanks 0rk0 from http://www.letv.re/topic/1020-letv-x800-lost-imei/?do=findComment&comment=9608)
Code:
1. With the card inserted and unacknowledged make a call by typing: * # * # 4636 # * # *
2. Appear a menu with several options: informaticion phone, battery information, usage statistics and wifi information. That we are interested in "phone information" we click on it.
3. We get a lot of things and options. We seek "Set preferred network type" and we click on the tab that appears below us which allows us to select different types of networks.
When you first enter this menu appeared selected the option "TD-SCDMA, LTE, CDMA, EVDO GSM / WCDMA," possibly this was the problem, it was the wrong choice. So it was.
4. Change the option to "LTE / GSM / CDMA auto (PRL)" and restart your phone (you simply have to select it and get out the normal phone menu
This is the official device support request CM thread, chime in! https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/120767-letv-x500-x600-x800/
And head over here to review the ROM, I think that may stimulate collapseromer to build more, maybe even CM13! http://rom.7to.cn/romdetail/1012717
What's your mileage guys? Could you get some CM13 somewhere, maybe? Please share your files and experience, LeTV ROMs are just clueless and I really think CM is the only way out: how could you develop such a useless lockscreen and notification shade, LeTV?
Hmm... Great stuff. I also not very impressed by EUI... What about Sim card slots, mobile Internet and camera? Do all these things work on CM too? How about battery life? Is it improved or same or less?

I'm using slot 2 only and data/calls/messages work fine; both cameras work, with 4k videos too; battery is more or less the same, I can go morning to evening just like Cuoco's. I really insist you should try, unless letv starts developing good things (but it seems like Android 6 ROM doesn't change much) I'll never look back; moreover, someone may port cm13 sooner or later.

How's the camera quality, compared to EUI?
Thanks for this share OP =D
Not at all, dude, I just want to spark some conversation and maybe development for this DOA device...
Camera is fine, you even get 4k video recording from main camera and 1080p from the front facing one. Even official EUI ROMs are not that good, with camera: videos always fail to autofocus and you have to keep pressing on screen to refocus, while pictures live preview is slow and generally not so good with low lighting.
Please H3G, deliver the HTC 10 and I'll get that in a heartbeat so I can stop going slightly mad with this device!

Hello guys, I'm going to share some CM builds I've found online and I'd like you to try them and discuss them. Thanks to collapseromer.
Please note I always disable all the Chinese apps and install Open Gapps
Most recent I've found:
http://rom.7to.cn/romdetail/1012091 --> Chinese thread

This is a great ROMtoo bad Google Play Store started FCing after like an hour since I installed. I've tried a few things to get it back (uninstall via Root Explorer and reinstall, clear cache and data, flash GApps again) but so far no luck; funny enough, it's auto-updating installed apps and installing apps when I do that via browser just fine. :/.
EDIT: Now it works... I guess it's because of the modified build.prop I applied, which I'm attaching here.

This ROM gets everything working except Periscope videos.

Hi,
do I understand correctly that this "collapse-cm-12.1-20160531-UNOFFICIAL-X800" version works on our LeTV 1 Pro X800 US/CE model?

Correct, any CM you'll find in this thread works both for CN and US versions, I'm using an US device myself.

Ok thanks !
Then I will try it today, as I have some problems with my actual CUOCO 11S V4.3 which could not be OTA updated anymore for whatever reason.
Did't you installed OPENGAPPS arm64 version right after the ROM flash ?
Right, opengapps build, 64 bit, Android 5.1, flashed right after ROM (put two zips in queue, in case you're wondering). Let me know which build you're going to flash and how you like it.

Get on this site and add comments guys, this way we may get collapseromer's builds more often and maybe even its CM13...

I installed it ! But on boot I choosed german as language maybe not a good idea. Will try again with english at first boot-up.
I noticed following:
- I installed OpenGAPPS Stock Version for 5.1 / arm64
- Google Play Store is crashing
- AudioFX is crashing
- four to six useless chinese apps included into the ROM
- One settings extension is completely in chinese
Anyway if I'm able to remove the for me useless stuff and fix the crashing of the play sotre, then I will keep this ROM.
Which ROM build did you flash? I reverted to https://app.box.com/s/ua2ekx0g54iltp2nj9b8uo2fykciylwg for now, just because of Play Store issues (even though it actually worked since I could install apps via browser and apps were auto-updating I could open it only sporadically, most of the time it force closed).
- AudioFX crashes here too, I actually never tried that since all my audio needs are speaker and bluetooth;
- You can easily freeze/uninstall those Chinese apps: enable CM root access in standard developer settings, install Titanium Backup or similar from Play Store (or via apk from apkmirror.com) and get rid of them;
- That settings item in Chinese language is actually just a container for all those Chinese apps you want to kill, so don't bother. It will force close if you click on it, once you freeze/delete those apps.
- I always choose Italian as system language and everything is in Italian: except for those Chinese apps, of course, but they never survive for a long time.

I flashed this one that you posted at the beginning:
https://mega.nz/#!QgoihJCQ!RpD2O1knJ5L6uAOGI7I6elv6spUNrPXD7whpqb6y2kE
Should I try the one that you posted in the BOX account ? Isn't it the same ?
Nope, slightly older: try that.

can't download the one in the box account. The download don't start...
You're right, the uploader went out of bandwidth: I'm uploading to Mega myself, it should be ready in less than an hour. Of course I'll change the links too.

I noticed that I had already downloaded it during last week.
But see my last reply:
So this one is from 07.06.2016, is this the one that you put on mega ?

Original filename of the file I'm uploading to Mega is collapse-cm-12.1-20160512-UNOFFICIAL. If you have that one just flash. Build date is 2016-05-12 (12/05/2016 in Europe), you can see it from the filename.

Yes exactly. I flashed it already Play Store works on this build from 12.05.2016. Cool !
I already deactivated all the chinese APPS via APPS Settings --> All Apps. It's important that you have to download first a new keyboard like google keyboard. As the chinese/english one will be also unavailable when deactivating all chinese app/services from settings.
Yeah, so far that build worked fine, only occasional non-playing Periscope/Facebook videos. Even installed Xposed Framework with a few modules.
Oh, are you using Trebuchet or Google launcher?
