iPhone Tutorial Videos

Adiman423 here with a big story for those of you who have an iPad. Once again, It turns out that the jailbreaking community have done something that apple would refuse to do. A lot of people thought that this would never happen.

For those of you who have been waiting to get flash on the iPad, the wait is over. A person who goes by the name of Comex on the internet has managed to get Adobe’s flash working on the iPad. As you can see in the video below, there are some things that you will need a Bluetooth keyboard for such as games. As mentioned in the instructions below, you will need to be jailbroken and have some way of transferring files to and from the iPad. I should warn you that to get this working will take some time, but looks good when done.

0. Make sure your iPad is jailbroken. It’s pretty easy — just run Spirit and you’re done.
1. Download Frash.deb and keep it nearby. [Update: We've been advised against hosting this ourselves, but it's not hard to find out there.]
2. Decide how you’re going to get files onto your iPad. For Mac users, it’s dead simple — just install Netatalk, which will automatically pop up your iPad in the Finder’s Sharing list. Windows users can try out this guide at iClarified to get OpenSSH installed and running and use WinSCP — it’s just as easy. Either way, the login is “root” and the password is “alpine.” Remember, you can seriously screw things up while you’re in there, so be careful!
3. Once you’ve got access to the iPad’s filesystem, navigate to /var/root/Media as shown here:

4. Once there, open Media and create a folder called “Cydia.”
5. Open the new Cydia folder and create another new folder called “AutoInstall”
6. Upload Frash to your new folder.
7. Restart your iPad a couple times.
8. You’re set! Now just navigate to a page in Safari with non-video Flash content and hit the F logo to play it. Again, no video for now, but games and other simple content works. We did have a few crashes here and there, but it’s early code, and things are bound to get better.

So there you have it, flash on the iPad. I hope you enjoy your flash-enabled iPad. Until next time, this is Adiman423 signing out.
