But that's Android for x86 not ARM. o.O

Can't we somehow port flash for x86 gnu/linux to android distro? There are very performant versions and it seems silly that we can't get flash on x86 linux of another variant... shouldn't these things be pretty well understood?

I would understand if you tell me that aosp has chosen not to implement a necessary interface (x11 comes to mind first)

I wouldn't "port" them. It's a lot easier to copy
"/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so" from another distro.

So whats the verdict on this? Does replacing the .so from another
distro allow flash to work on android-x86?

No. You can't take any binaries from Linux and just run them on
Android. Android isn't Linux in that way. It's different from the
dynamic loader on up.

The only solution is to get an Android build of Flash, which I believe
Google TV has.

I don't know. But I would try it.

Sure. The "*.exe" is different. But the libraries?

Good to know. :)
