Getting Adobe Flash up and running before everyone else on the original Motorola Droid

| | Comments (0)

flash.jpgNow that your original Motorola Droid has been upgraded to Android 2.2 you can taste ambedded Adobe Flash Player 10.1 animations and video before its released in the Android Market as an app specifically for your device.

Android menu key>Settings>Applications Check Unknown source (Allow installation of non-Market applications). You can go back and lock things back down after downloading.

Got to this site: http://www.mediafire.com/?gz2omonfodz (you must do this from your phone browser)

Download Adobe Flash Player 10.1

Enjoy Flash in your original Droid 1 browser.

Since this isn't an official release via the Android Market, it might explain why it's a bit laggy. You also have to remember that the original Motorola Droid is running on half the horsepower of newer hardware like the Droid 2, Droid X or HTC Incredible.

If you aren't happy with this experiment simply go to Settings>Applications and remove Adobe Flash Player 10.1 to revert to your old browsing experience.

I love how you can do these things with Android given the tools provided by the handset manufacturer and wireless carrier without hacking the phone to death.
