Flash ported to iPhone 4, available for download (video)

[Bald Bouncer]

Cydia is a great place to hang out, and we're sure unlocking is pretty swell, but it's quite possible you and your freshly-rooted iPhone 4 have already run out of fun things to do. In that case, might we suggest giving Frash a try? That's right, Comex's Strong Bad-inspired port of Adobe Flash 10.1 has been compiled once again, and though it's still an alpha build there's nothing keeping you from experiencing the joys of animated advertising on your iOS 4 device. Instructions are exactly the same as in our Flash how-to for iPad -- jailbreak, download the .deb, upload it to Cydia\AutoInstall on your phone via SSH, restart and you're done -- but if that sounds like too much work or you're worried about your phone asploding prematurely, you can watch from a safe distance as Homestar Runner struts his stuff. You'll find that and more in a video after the break, and a pre-compiled alpha build is available at our source link.

Flash finally finagled onto iPhone


For those prepared to risk it

A dedicated iPhone hacker has ported a client for Adobe's Flash onto an iPhone 4, just about, and with a dicey installation process.
The hack can only be applied to a Jailbroken iPhone 4, though the developer reckons it will run on an 3GS and an iPad. But if you've got the hardware and the nerve then you're only eight steps away from being able to lord it over your Android-touting mates with a beautifully designed handset that can also run Flash.
Not that you'll be able to run much Flash content. Frash - as the developer has termed the port - is very much an alpha version (v0.02 to be precise), so you're not going to be browsing YouTube just yet. But once Frash is installed the iPhone user is able to tap on (reasonably basic) Flash animations in a web page to see them rendered in all their animated glory.



Most of those embedded animations are advertisements of course, so you might be happier missing them. But enabling Flash is, for many people, about choice rather than utility, not to mention shutting up all the whining from those people who don't have an iPhone.
Those prepared to risk an early version of Frash can now silence that noise, which might be worth it even if one never actually uses the capability in anger.

I've stuck this on and it works pretty well so far! ALbeit it 99% adverts and website banners that I'm viewing. Very impressed, it's very speedy when zooming in and out. Can't wait for flash video support.
