Playing Flash In Web Browser Of Nokia N900

Well, no more frustration as I’ll show you a trick to play flash right in the web browser of your Nokia N900. This trick works for many sites, including Facebook and Youtube videos.

You’ll need this application installed on your N900 :-

Tweak Flash Plugin Version

Below are some simple steps to play Flash in your Nokia N900 web browser :-

1. Search for the above application in Application Manager and install it.
2. Launch the application once you’ve installed it.
3. Start surfing! :)

For some reasons, the application might not be able to run by double-clicking the application icon. No worries, you just need to launch the application via X-Terminal. Below are the steps to launche the application from X-Terminal :-

1. Search for rootsh in Application Manager and install it.
2. Open X-Terminal and type sudo /usr/bin/tweakflashver then hit Enter. This command will launch the Tweak Flash Plugin Version application.
3. Once Tweak Flash Plugin Version application is running, you can start surfing! :)

Below is the video showing you this trick :-

If you think this trick is useful, please feel free to share it with your friends who are using Nokia N900 as well.
Cheers!

Hello,
I installed the Tweak Flash Plugin as you described and it installed correctly and it ran (screen came up on desktop); however, facebook videos still do not play. It says upgrade required. The ESPN soccer website did, however, work. Any ideas? Thank You.
All the best

You’ll need to install both Tweak Flash Plugin Version and rootsh applications before typing /usr/bin/tweakflashver.

Besides, it would be advisable to upgrade the phone’s firmware to PR1.2 if the phone is not already running this latest firmware.

Hi all,

There’s a new version of Tweak Flash plugin available for latest N900 firmware PR1.3.

Download from Application Manager and update the plugin to the latest version should solve the problem. :)

Cheers!

Hi Bryan
I have watched your video and downloaded and installed both tweak FP and Rootsh. I tried both ways but still not able to watch videos on facebook. When trying to launch through X terminal its asking for password.
Please advice.
