title: Install Flash or AIR on INTEL Android (Android-x86)?
body: <p>I'm porting a Flash 8 application to Android, and don't have an Android device.</p>
  
  <p>I've got the emulator installed, but find it deathly slow.</p>
  
  <p>I've also got Android 2.2 installed in VirtualBox using </p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.android-x86.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.android-x86.org/</a></p>
  
  <p>and it works great. 10x better than the emulator for speed.</p>
  
  <p><strong>My problem: I haven't been able to figure out how to get Flash or Air installed in Android-x86 (an Intel version of Android). This may be because all the Flash apk's I've found are ARM based. Does anyone know if there are any Flash apk's for Intel based Android?  Or libflashplayer.so built for an intel based Android anywhere?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Any ideas? Thanks!</p>
  
  <h2><strong>Edit: Major Suggestion</strong></h2>
  
  <p>Instead of using Android x86, consider using the Haxm acceleration from Intel to speed up your ARM emulation by about 10x. I've been doing this for other projects, and it's been faster than using a device</p>

  <p><strong>Major Note:</strong> I had an employee from Adobe respond that it's not officially supported yet (Apr 2011). </p>

  <p><strong>Note:</strong> It does appear that an intel based libflashplayer.so must exist somewhere, as the Logitech Revue, which runs the GoogleTV version of Android on an Intel processor, is out:</p>

  <p><strong>Note:</strong> I've tried to install the Market (so I could install Flash via the market) using various suggestions on the web, with no real success. It installs, but fails whenever I try and load it with </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The application Market
    (com.android.vending) has stopped
    unexpectedly. Please try again.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I've Cleared the Cache and Data for the Market app, with no success. </p>
  
  <p>I've also tried installing various Flash APK files I found on the web by loading them through the browser, with no success either. This does work for other APK's, but not the Flash ones, and I think it's because the APK's I've found are all ARM based, not Intel based.</p>

  <p><strong>Note:</strong> I've also tried installing any APK's using adb connect IP-OF-VM, then doing installs, but no luck there either.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
