Is there some trick to getting flash to work? Everyplace i go says i need a new version of flash
Really? You thought it was necessary to offer that up to thousands of people on the internet?

Go here: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/06/10/download-flash-10-beta-2-for-droid/ and download the Adobe Flash Player apk from there ( it is the beta one). Then run that apk in Root Explorer from the SD card and choose 'Install' and it should say 'installed successfully' then you will have to use a browser that lets you change from 'Droid' to 'Desktop' mode easily so you can view non-'mobile' website versions. For example, when you go to a website with the stock browser app, the browser tells that website that it is a mobile browser so it forwards it to another url which for example might be like http://www.m.cnn.com (with the m in the url) this version of the webpage will not have any flash content on it. Using the stock browser you can type about:config into the url field and then it acts like it didn't do squat but now if you go to browser settings it will show the debugger menu and give you the option to change to render pages as 'Desktop'. But me though, I just left the stock browser on default mobile mode and instead use Skyfire beta browser to watch flash pages because it has a toolbar button to quick toggle to 'iPhone', 'Desktop', or 'Droid' rendering easily. Skyfire was originally built to be able to download and play flash movies in its own built-in player (which you now will not need or use this function since we now have the real Adobe Flash Player Beta installed), so just go into the settings on Skyfire and turn off the 'notify me when there is video to download off this page' option. Then note that the Skyfire toolbar has that button to drop-down a menu to select 'Desktop' rendering mode and now Adobe Flash will just play fine, but if you want you can toggle quickly back to 'Droid' if you want to see the version of that page that is correctly rendered for the mobile browser.
This just is how I've been doing it so far. I'm open to better ways if anybody has any better suggestions but so far, Skyfire has been great. A little stubborn to close sometimes but with Advanced Task Manager I can make it close with a 'End all Tasks not on the ignore list' widget right on the home screen which will force Skyfire to close. Skyfire will occasionally close like it should about half the time.

2 Issues:
1. I tried using Rom Manager 3x now to install Kangerade. All 3 times it works but after reboots the phone will always lock up within about 1-2 minutes of booting up to the home screen. Even after wiping data/cache multiple times. I've had to restore back each time to a 2.1 Jrummy build. Any ideas there? Do I need to uninstall any app like SetCPU before the flash? I did set it back to "default speeds" first.
2. Can someone finally explain to me how apps restore? I have Titanium Backup and that works fine. But, it seems like the Market apps also restore about 25 of my 100 apps all on its own. Shouldn't it restore ALL of the apps I've downloaded from the market?
I've noticed that after a ROM install where I wipe data/cache it starts to download a few apps from the market but then hangs on SetCPU and Rom Manager premium (the only 2 paid apps I have)

I know there was a borked recovery that was released w/ a version of rom manager. I had someone else have a similiar issue. Try removing your recovery from your clockworkmod folder on your sdcard in clockworkmod/recovery/somefolderIcan'tremember/recovery-clockwork-blahblah and then redownloading the recovery through rom manger.
I did not see this posted here, so I will ask. Last night I downloaded kangerade test 5. I started with a full battery. It was slow comparatively with the time needed in ROM Manager to download other ROM's. But it downloaded and installed fine. Since I did a wipe, I was redoing the home screen setups (Launcher Pro). About halfway through this, my phone goes on alert and informs me my battery is critically low and I need to connect the charger. I never had less than 80% battery left at this point in flashing any other ROM. So I grab the charger...well the phone still tells me to plug the charger in even with the charger plugged in. I do some looking and the indicator light beside the cable connection is not on. SO I think maybe the battery just died. I powered off the phone, but every couple of minutes it tries to power on again..of its own accord. So I remove the battery. With the battery out, I plugged in the phone and it seems to work fine, so I restore the second release from p3droid's 2.2. Left the battery out for maybe 10 minutes, and guess what, the phone tells me I still have 90% charge and all seems well in the world of my droid.
Is this any way a possible issue with kangerade test 5, or did something else happen. This is the first and so far only time anything like this has happened.

Something like this happened to me when I tried installing a kernel that wasn't compatible. The battery went to 0 percent and would not charge. I did the battery pull and tried charging it and it appeared dead. Flashed back to an earlier backup of another rom and walla, battery was back at 70 percent. Mismatched OC kernel was the cause. Might have been a kernel that was not made for froyo.

So bumping to the latest clockwork (1.8.1.8) won't do the same as you say? That's what I always do. What about grabbing 1.8.2.1 (latest experimental)?
I can do what you say, just curious.
sweeeeeeeeeeet
