Install Flash On Your Jailbroken iPhone 4 In Just 3 Easy Steps [How-Tos]

Flash (or, rather, Frash) came to iPhone 4s yesterday, and also runs on jailbroken iPads, but the installation process was, well, a little convoluted.

Thankfully, it’s just gotten a whole lot easier thanks to Cydia repository Benm.at. If you want to install Frash on your jailbroken iOS device, it’s now as simple as following these steps:

1. Open Cydia > Manage > Sources
2. Edit source and add http://repo.benm.at
3. Search Frash and install it.

Voila! A pulsing migraine of Steve Jobs’ annoyance, right in the palm of your hands. Watch out for core meltdown, though: we hear Frash runs pretty hot.

Oddly enough, I’m getting a Note that says:
The requested modifications cannot be applied due to required dependencies or conflicts that cannot be automatically found or fixed.

Last I checked you also needed to install the Frash SBSettings toggle too (it auto installs SBSettings if you dont have it. The frash package doesn’t auto install either of those if you are missing them. So it’s actually 4.5 steps.

The fact that it makes the devices run hot is a total fail in my book. Not to mention that reports are that it is buggy, slow and stutters and freezes.
So basically it proves the point Jobs was making. That Flash is too low quality at this point to be put on iOS devices.
And as this is a layered app of exactly the kind that Jobs banned in the app store and it doesn’t run for shite, they are proving that point as well.
If Adobe could actually pull off a native coded version of Flash (not Flash lite) that ran on a mobile device without any issues, then they would have something to fight over. But they haven’t yet. Thus why companies are going HTML5 and apps. Heck even the mighty porn industry sees the writing on the walls and want to keep bringing in the cash so goodbye Flash.

@charli:
The fact that a modified Flash player, taken from Google’s Android and wrapped inside some kind of emulation layer which was build by a couple of people in their spare time, “is buggy, slow and stutters and freezes” proves that Flash is “too low quality”?
It must be awesome to live in your world.
This is a hobbyist project, not something ready for commercial release. And I think it’s great what comex et al are able to pull off.
