=20 That's the point. That list was used by KDT as a point on how *hard*=20 it is to install Flash on an Android phone. Any more points (like=20 having to install the Android SDK) would just add more point and=20 amplify the point he was trying to make. =20 YOU responded by saying that you're using the "easy way", which=20 implies one does not have to be a seasoned Android developer to employ=20 it. And then you're very muddy about just how it is done.=20

there's nothing muddy about it. download and install. any number of rando= m dumbasses online can do that, so i have a hard time imagining that you're= really having issues with the description. =20

A request of=20 an outline for this supposedly "easy" way would be for the benefit of=20 someone who isn't a Android developer or Android "hacker". I.e. a=20 regular user. Because of your "easy" way doesn't cater to the regular=20 user - i.e. is too hard for them, then it's not really a relevant=20 input to the topic.

you requested an outline. not a step by step for a beginner. quite a bit = different. not to mention that i figured kdt and you would be able to figu= re out download and click to install, but to my surprise, that was not the = case for you.

On the off chance you're not just troll in, I'm running g this:

=20 What the fuck is wrong with your posts?=20

google groups has been all jacked for a few weeks. includes an extra blank= between every line, and the javascript seems to be causing the cursor to j= ump here and there occasionally. this has been an issue on windows, os x, = and android for me. coupled with some posts from a virtual keyboard with a= uto "correct", and the results aren't pretty at times. :D

How come others are able to=20 post via Google and not sound like they're typing sitting on a washing=20 machine.

i have no idea.

=20 Wtf? That's the same domain that you're posting from (i.e. your email=20 address).=20

yeah, strangely i can put up files for people to download there if i want. = ;D

Are you the one making available hacked versions of Flash?=20

nope, but it's the one i have installed and handy, so i could just post it = up quicker than searching for it. =20

How do I know if this is the latest version?=20

it's not. =20

How do I know it's not=20 infected with a virus or something?=20

you probably don't.

Where would my sister or my father =20 download this from in an easy way? From you? This just seems very odd.

they could do a google search for flash for hulu on android or some such i = suppose. =20

Download and run from your phone, as I'm sure you know.

=20 I don't. I don't know how I "run" things on my Nexus. I don't have it=20 at home, so I'll email that link to me so I can try clicking on it=20 tomorrow. I'll report back on it. You'll have to add the means on how=20 to procure this URL to your list, though. Or a valid URL.=20

what's wrong with the url above?

these complaints are all pretty ridiculous, especially coming from someone = who described the ease of jailbreaking the iphone as "Jailbraking it takes = one click and you're done. It's as easy as using your mouse and index finge= r. Stop whining and just do it."=20
