Would this run on a rooted, overclocked X? I'm running 1.15Ghz and between ATK and Android System Info I can generally keep my free RAM between 115 & 180MB.

Do you have FroYo on there? If not, no. Flash is FroYo-dependant.
Heh. Flash is a Frozen Yogurt addict. :rofl3:

Unfortunately, the Droid X runs off 2.1 software and to use flash the froyo (2.2) infrastructure needs to be on your phone. I'm not 100% on this but its a combination of the 2.2 browser, and the froyo OS that work together with this app to work on phones.
The good news here, is that Birdman at alldroid.org is spearheading (working day and night) to get the Droid X running a custom recovery and hopefully 2.2 ROMs on your device. Until they get it working though, or until Motorola releases froyo officially on the X, you are out of luck.
This would be correct. It has the most recent Nexus One build.prop footprint. This makes the market think it is a Nexus One (which could be bad since it allows you to install apps that might not be meant for other phones, but this is more or less just being really caucious on my part) and allows you to see the flash app.
More likely than not though, people should want to keep their build.props pointing the market into thinking it is a Droid running Froyo.

Right on, Tanknspank. Those of us on the bleeding edge are willing to take risks, though -- or we'll learn why it's called the bleeding edge in a hurry.

Bleeding edge, or second hand?
Sorry, in this situation it just seems that they didn't do any modifications to the Droid version and just made sure it worked. Devs shouldn't make the phone trick the market like that.
Though I am sure others will see it as the devs should because it gets them flash in the market. But what is wrong with grabbing the .apk from the internet and installing it?
I swear some people are just so lazy these days...
Not sure if anyone stated this but the flash link in market is only showing up on certain ROMS it was explained in another topic I believe in the hacking section I don't know the exact reason but supposedly the today is when it should be available in the market(all of which was a rumor).

Supposedly some time today. As soon as it goes live I'm sure someone will start a thread somewhere else, so keep your eyes peeled.

If you mean when will it automatically install, it won't. It's an add-on. If you mean when will the second 2.2 update that's supposed to hit already updated phones and do wonderful things, that's a mystery. Some time after the first rollout ends.
Incorrect. CM6 rc3 has the same info in build.prop that the frg01b OTA has, and in fact identifies itself as frg01b.
The MARKET APP is where the difference lies. Due to legal reasons, the Google Apps cannot be incorporated into the ROM, and are instead offered as a seperate download. And, the download just happens to contain the Google Apps for the Nexus One. In other words, if you are running CM6 rc3, you are running the Nexus One's market app.
And before anyone asks, no, you cannot simply load the N1 Google Apps on frg01b and have it work correctly. Unless you are a fan of force close messages, and don't like the ability to check your gmail or use search.
You CAN, however, install Flash 10.1 under CM6 rc3 and downgrade to OTA frg01b. The autodownloader will redownload Flash 10.1 and suddenly, it WILL show up in frg01b's market app.

In basic functionality, nothing. In optimizations and improved code, a lot. You may find it smoother, you may think it's choppy depending on what you're trying to watch. Sometimes compatibility takes precedence over performance in final builds.
If I download the APK file it will replace the one I already have?
