Getting flash to work on samsung replenish

Hello I just picked up the samsung replinish and need to know if I can add flash support somehow. Do I need to change my kernel? Or add a custom rom? I had the evo and got this for the keyboard but really miss the flash support... thanks in advance

Any luck?
Did you have any luck getting flash support? I'm considering this phone for my son, and flash would be good. Maybe an alternate browser would work. How about Dolphin? Also, if you want to try to get flash running, you could try sideloading it. Android Central, which sings the XDA praises all the time, has an app for sideloading called the wonder machine. I haven't used it, but it might be useful for you. Good luck.

I can't imagine that flash would work on this phone, only because the screen resolution and processor speed are both so low. As an employee, I cannot tell you to try "rooting" the phone because that would be in violation of Sprint T&C's, but that may be the only way to attempt what you are looking to do. It is not meant to be a high end handset, but more of an entry level device for 1st time Android or smartphone users. Now having said that, for the non-Uber-user, the Replenish is a solid phone that provides a mid-range smartphone experience for the feature phone convert, or for antiquated smartphone upgraders. I would say it is NOT the way to go if you are "upgrading" from an Evo or Epic. It does offer some significant savings, not only in capital investment, but also in the MRC.
Quite honestly though, I have not tried to get flash to work, nor do I expect it to.

I was able to download Adobe Flash 10.1 (found the apk on xda somewhere) but it causes my browser to crash--also, the whole reason I got it was in hopes that THAT was why my modded Netflix app still wasn't working (got the no-device-checker mod from xda as well).
For the record, I've rooted my Replenish--but haven't seen much performance boost at all. I got an overclocker but all I could really do was switch the profile from the standard one to "performance"--so it does seem to load up a little faster.
Also, Wireless tether is neat....but thats about it!

thats because your using a stock kernel if their is a custom kernel that allows overclocking then you would see a difference

Replenish is NOT a multimedia phone. It has multimedia capabilities, but just the physical specs themselves (600mHz processor, 2MP camera, LO-res screen) screams "don't use me for video unless you're witnessing a phelony, and then you may have trouble getting it to stick!".
The reason that apps like Netflix, Angry Birds, and other software are not available or won't run on the Replenish is because those programs require a minimum hardware performance level.
Getting back to Flash, I think it won't work for this reason. Even if you can overclock it with a cooked ROM, your resolution will still stink, and you may even burn out the screen and/or hardware by trying to run full video (conjecture, not really knowing...).
If you get it to work and it's stable, obviously I'd like to know how because I don't think the manufacturers or Sprint meant to "reserve" any computing or performance power in order to enable higher end processes and applications like Flash video or bird catapults...

Angry birds (the original at least) runs just fine on the replenish. Tested it myself.
A custom rom with some of the crap removed would be nice.

Here is a WORKING DEODEXED PhoenixRom that I just made about an hour ago. I got to playing around with FireHak's build. I didn't change NOTHING, but deodex. I noticed the boot animations didn't work so I added bootanimation.zip functionality and it still doesn't work. At least on my wife's phone who I tested this on. I downloaded Anim Mod from the market to change the windows animations and transitions. It also modifies the system framework, so I tested it on her Replenish and EVERYTHING is running good so far. Now we have a deodexed ROM, let the customization begin.
I am not in anyway trying to take Firehak's glory. That is why I left everything the same.
Things we need to work on:
Custom Bootanimations
Disable the annoying System Update message
Fix recovery to fit our screens. (I noticed the Clockwork Recovery is oversized)
Customization
Flash like you would normally a ROM. Use Firehak's instructions here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-replenish/148702-acs-rom-phoenix-rom-0-2-a.html
But instead, use the Pheonix 0.3 zip include below.
I made it to where it WON'T wipe data, but I noticed it still does. PLEASE BACKUP FIRST! After I flashed this ROM I did an Avanced Restore through Clockwork and only restored DATA. Everything seems fine. Wipe Dalvik and Cache, just in case.
AS WITH ALL OTHER ROMS, FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Please let me know if anyone has issues.
Now what we all been waiting for, here is the link to download:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64632729/pho...3_deodexed.zip
Hope you all enjoy!
PS. Thanks Firehak for all your hard work
EDIT: Because bootanimations didn't work on my wife's phone, it will look like the phone shut off. Just let it sit. It will boot up.

[Q] What to expect when flashing to custom ROM

So I'm an Iphone convert. I got an infuse, and love the freedom to customize and do cool things with apps and the like. I've spent a lot of time customizing etc.
Now I'm reading more and more into the whole custom ROM thing. I'm just looking to get an idea of what to expect from the process of changing to a new ROM
Will it be faster and have better battery life if I switch from stock to CM7?
Will I have to reinstall all my apps?
How will future software updates and stuff be handled?

When installing a new custom ROM you need to look at it as a fresh install of a new OS. In other words, yes you will lose your installed apps, however there are plenty of apps available which can help you with the restore process. One that i like to use is Titanium Backup, however you will need to be rooted for this to work. If you have not already rooted your stock ROM, then you may want to download an app from the market that creates an "app list" rather then an actual backup of the apps themselves.
One thing to keep in mind though if you are using Titanium Backup, when restoring make sure to only select the "restore App" option, rather then "App + Data". Restoring data will attempt to restore app data that references your previous ROM, which will almost always break your installation and cause things to go wacky. Installing app only basically does a fresh install on your new ROM without causing any issues.
Will it be faster? It depends on which ROM you install, but the short answer is most likely yes. I can tell you that CM7 and MIUI will be faster as i have tried them myself. Benchmarks will show this to be true, but take this with a grain of salt. The real test is "real world snappiness", and i can tell you that in practical real world application, CM7 and MIUI feel a heck of allot smoother and responsive then the stock Rogers ROM that i was coming from.
Will you get better battery life? I don't know, it depends again on what you install. But my current experience is that i am getting better battery life on MIUI vs stock. I did however disable some of the built in extras on MIUI like network data monitoring, and battery monitoring. You may or may not have to do this, but i found that turning off any background monitoring processes provided me with the longest battery life. About 20+ hours to 5 -10% with moderate to heavy usage.
Future updates. This all depends on the cook or dev of the ROM. Generally though you will want to follow their install instructions to the letter to avoid any issues. Many times though when updating from one version of MIUI to newer version of same MIUI, you can simply install without "full wipe" and this will keep your installed apps intact. However if the dev specifically calls for a full wipe, then you should do it to avoid issues that could otherwise be avoided.
One thing to keep in mind however, is that when installing custom roms you need to understand that you are joining a community of testers. You should always approach it as such, and keep in mind that for the most part these releases are coming from people who do this as a hobby. You also need to keep in mind that you may likely run into bug's, so if you absolutely don't want to deal with this, please stick with stock. However if your adventurous and don't mind a few possible issues while trying out the latest and greatest that the community has to offer, then dive right in! When reporting issues, please do so with the utmost respect and keep this in mind that the Dev's do this on their spare time for our benefit, and they do not get paid for it. So please try to keep the reports as constructive as possible for everyone's benefit!
Lastly, welcome to the android community agent888 and glad to hear you dropped the iphone and left the collective for a community that offers you freedom of choice!

I got Infused 1.6 installed. I chose this one because I found a nice how to video on youtube and followed it step by step. I think it was a nice way for a first timer like myself to do so, to get me over those initial gut wrenching fears of bricking the phone.
All in all, I am more satisfied every single day that I've chosen android over iPhone.

[Q] Nexus S on ICS 4.0.3 running really slow. Best case scenario?

I have upgraded my Nexus S to ICS 4.0.3 and it worked for quite a while without any issues, but now it become really slow...I use Go Launcher to control apps that run and switch them all off from time to time, get good battery life (use Mugen's HLI-NexusSXL 3900mah battery), also I don't really use many apps.
What is the best case scenario to "clean" Android ICS 4.0.3 from, I dunno, cash, temp files and other garbage that potentially can affect performance?
Appreciate any help, guys!
Thanks

Hmm... cleaning it doesn't really help with your problem. I believe you should better install one of the ROMs in the development section. They are really smooth. On the other hand, if you want the phone to keep its stock look, it's better to flash a kernel. Some very fast and stable kernels out there, I would recommend eugene373's ICUP Speedy-4 (fast for me, with 24 hours battery life). I have made a thread for helping people decide what to flash, and a small guide for the terms, if you aren't familiar with them. Check out the link in my signature

Go launcher is like the MacDonald's of launchers. Zo you would want a mcdonalds rather than olive garden?

Thanks a lot, this is a rocking advice! Checked the link, will do my best to try it!!

it's like a PC with Windows OS....
The more time you use it and the more apps you install , the slower it gets...
Don't put too much apps,uninstall the unnecessory ones.IMHO stock stuffs (ROMs , kernels etc...) are the most stable things , unless you're an adventurer lol

if you're rooted you can wipe the cache to maybe gain some speed =)

I tried to clean my phone using filemanager and deleted all the folders that were left from the apps I've uninstalled and it helped... I would be cool to have some sort of cleaner/wiper app that would clean the s*** from the phone

[Q] Sidekick 4G humble questions

Hello all, I've decided to mod my newly aquired sidekick 4g. I'm not sure if this forum is all that active any more, but I figured I'd ask my few questions in the hope that someone can answer them. BTW I'm very impressed there is so much data out there for a relatively unknown smartphone.
1. I'm a huge fan of slim operating systems with no bloat. On my laptop I run Arch linux with very lightweight applications so my system is snappy. I know asking for the best ROM is poor form so what I'm asking for is an opinion on what the best ROM is for speed alone, stability would be nice, don't care for flashy GUI if it's slowing anything down.1a. From my reading on the forum it looked like gingerclone v2 was what I was interested in, however it hasn't been developed recently. Is this a good choice or am I better off with a newer ROM?​
2. Should I be able to use V6 supercharger and the Blaze modem with any ROM?
3. I plan to be using the phone for tethering and was wondering if all (or most) of the ROMs support this behavior? I figured all, however the features listed in the ROM here made me second guess.3a. Anything other features missing from rooting the phone? Again I'm inclined to think no but correct me if I'm wrong.​
4. Any other tips you have for a new sidekick owner? Or some flames perhaps?
Thanks, even if nobody answers this I have a whole forum of information to mull over. I apologize if this is improper or that I haven't searched thoroughly enough for the answers.

This is for sure the proper place to ask such questions, unfortunately there are only a few left to answer. This phone has lost all devs, but windxixi has just got a 2.3 ROM almost 100% functional!
For now best stay with froyo, and yes best ROM questions are not to be asked in xda, feel free to try any of them as they all share the same base, just remove what you don't like (an arch fan understands light so I do the same)
Yeah you can supercharge any ROM here to the best of my knowledge, shouldn't have any issues adding the blaze modem either if the ROM doesn't contain it.
Not sure on tethering, don't use it
Only benefits to rooting this phone, stock was horse****
Tips will be to actively engage the community, although there are few left here the ones that are are great! Add where you can, ask questions when you must, and help keep this dying phone alive!
Such a nice setup for a phone, so much potential, and you are here at a good time as I'm thinking there will be an influx of great things happening soon!
Happy flashing!

1) either a glorious overdose v2 or nexus jb
2) supercharger is really bad on the phone I believe a dev here created a better solution which should be implamited in nexus jb an glorious overdose v5
3)this phone isn't good with wifi but from the signal it self should be fine
4)I believe the new 2.3.3 should be up an running maybe in a week or 2

I was running NexusCM towards the end of my sidekick use and I really liked that one. I would try either NexusCM or NexusJB

I'm still using Glorious Overdose 3.2 or 3.3 Bulky. It does what I need for now. It's not my daily driver of a phone, but has a bunch of stuff on it that I don't have the time to deal with keeping safe through a wipe and all. I did pay for a app called RAM Manager (it has a free version through) that I think helps keep the phone running extra nicely. This phone has been extremely durable for me. I've dropped it numerous times on concrete. I pop the battery and back cover back on and it comes right back up...just a few scratches. The keyboard is simply the best. I'll definitely be jumping on the GB 2.3.3 ROM when it's ready for daily driving. My thanks to those who have been working so hard on that!!!

.android_secure
OK, I've got one that's been bugging me. I have a LOT of apps installed and if I have moved a number of the larger ones to the SD Card (to free up /data), once I get to greater than 1GB in android_secure, my phone fails to boot completely and just locks up. It's not the SD Card (32GB Class 10) that has errors (scanned with both Windows and 4Ext), just seems to be too much for the OS to handle.
I'm still running ShiftHackedA05P 2.8 (CM 2.7.3) from days gone by. Suggestions welcome. Thanks.
Edit: And I use Autostarts (Advanced mode) to turn off receivers for apps that I don't want to load, and LBE to disable permissions.

You might try using a Rom that has ext4 support since it supports larger file sizes.

Thank you for the reply, expert one
The folder has ~87 files of sizes 3MB to 40MB, which causes the lockup after booting at random times (sometimes it makes it further and ultimately boots, after MANY battery pulls). Once the folder is pared down to a lesser total size, the phone boots more rapidly and doesn't lock up; seems to be a linear relationship between how many files and the total time to boot until the CPU usage drops.

It might also be that most apps are moving away from app to sd since it isn't used as much anymore.

New issue, perhaps?, I am noticing that when LTE/CDMA mode my connection is showing as LTE only where it used to use ehrpd for transport and thereby still keeping 3g radio enabled. Normally no big deal but at times I am unable to send/receive texts or make/receive phone calls. Has Verizon stopped using this middle transport for LTE? I am unsure why I am always showing LTE only and if this is causing a problem. Switching to CDMA (auto prl) is the only remedy that I have found. Any thoughts?

Not really a problem but I noticed a thread that mentioned A LOT of older devices getting a port of KitKat...any chance that could happen with this old relic? Other HTC phone with some sort of working KitKat are: Sensation, Desire HD, Vivid, Raider, Evo, Amaze and Incredible S...or at least that is what this site claims.
Oh, sorry, I'm new here so I can't post the link.

Santod was working on a KK ROM but since he has newer devices as many of us old bolt users do he puts it on the back burner because the demand for it just isn't there anymore. Be patient and maybe eventually you will see one. Or you won't....

I just saw where Droid Incredible 2 has a fully functioning CM 10.1 rom. Just wondering if that could be possible for us since DINC 2 has same processor, same resolution, same manufacturer, same everything except 4G. I'd love to have CM10.1 if it meant sacrificing 4G (or even all data).
I'm new to all this, but if you think a port is possible or maybe some other way to get this on our device I will give it 100% effort.
If it can't be done then crush my dreams now and I will somehow learn to live without my TB.
Thanks.

Porting the dinc2 ROM breaks data for the bolt since the bolt has an svdo radio setup. I have ported from it before and I either had calling with no data or just data. I'm not saying it couldn't be done but it is out of my area of expertise. Go to infectedrom. com and there is a cm10.2 build made by Santod that has working WiFi. Since data doesn't seem to be an issue for you.

It could be closed for any number of reasons. Cjen isn't a developer by any stretch of imagination. He's the same guy that kanged CM, and liquidsmooth code in the past in roms he called "liquidsmooth remastered", etc. He basically kangs roms, adds and removes apps, then rereleases them himself as though he built them, all without providing the source that would show no commits made by him. The irony is, liquidsmooth 3.2, CM7.2, And thundershed actually worked perfectly for the most part, his so called rom doesn't... If you're interested in gingerbread AOSP roms for the bolt, i'd stick with thundershed and liquidsmooth. At least workshed's and team liquid are real developers and their roms worked...
