Flash Player on CM7.1 fixed (hack?)

General

Like others, I realised that flash player was not working properly on my CM7.1 ROM.  , but that’s the pain of rooting I suppose.

Much fiddling and I worked out how to get the thing going.  The main issue I had was that the named path:

/data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data

did not exist, but I worked out

  1. that it does not exist until the browser has tried to run a flash file and my problem was with BBC’s app
  2. .macromedia is a hidden file (ls -la finds it)

So in the end I went through and did

chmod 000 /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data

Changing the red text for any app that does not work.  I am still using Terminal for this, I can’t get adb to work and have not got round to the massive £2.50 for Root Explorer.
