A new version of Adobe’s Flash Player is now available on Android phones and tablets deemed worthy enough to run it, with version 10.3 up on the Android Market for installation right now. Adobe recommends you “update your OS to Android 3.1″ to run it best – which is easier said than done.
Here’s the changelog, direct from Adobe:
- Enabled NEON optimizations for OMAP4 (Cortex A-9) based devices. (2853030)
- Corrected an issue on the Samsung Galaxy S where H.264 video at resolutions of 720p and below was not displayed. (2852889)
- Android Apps using Browser Plug-ins like Flash Player in WebView no longer need to set android:hardwareAcceleration to True in their AndroidMainfest.xml for plug-in output to be rendered. This was previously an issue on Android 3.0+ only. (2834793)
- Fixed a crash on the HTC EVO that some users encountered with specific video. (2855425)
- Fixed an issue that caused video frames to stop rendering on long streaming videos (> 1 hour) on some Motorola devices. (2855957)
There’s also a whole list of “known issues” over on Adobe’s flash blog. There is no accompanying image for this post.

/ May 13, 2011Glad they updated it… but its nearly 12MB installed. For a poorly old Desire, it forces your hand – better battery life for the odd Flash video, or having a bunch of apps :/
